@dontreportme @pluralistic Not sure what you mean.

I see it as high octane trolling of Amazon, in support of workers' rights. Works for me :-)

@RupertReynolds @dontreportme I'm American and the best use case I've found for the internet is searching for the meaning of rhyming slang terms when I come across them. But then your joke also hinges on the difference between "taking a piss" and "taking the piss" which most of us wouldn't get either.
