capitalist exploitation 

Capitalist exploitation simply means the fact that after its commodification the price of your work force on the market is much lower than the value it produces.

Think about it this way: worker X in company Y is producing commodity Z (goods&services). But a wage's worth of commodity Z is created by worker X in only a few hours of labour. The value his work force is rented for by the capitalist is much smaller than the value it creates. The private person owning company Y (don't forget corporations are also legal private subjects) then

appropriates the surplus value created by the labourer.

Simply put: if a labourer creates the value of his wage in a very small amount of his labouring time, who then, is he in fact labouring for most of the time?

Not only does capitalist exploitation entail that most of the value that working people create will be appropriated from them, but also that their limited precious time on this planet will be appropriated from them.
Mark sold 100 fast food meals priced at $5 in 8 hours. In two days the total value he creates is $1000. Yet he has to work for a full month to receive a salary, a wage of $800. Because Mark in unaware of capitalist exploitation he believes he is reverencing a fair pay for his work when in fact he is labouring extensively for the profit of other people.

Exploitation Now 

A very good adult-oriented webcomic starring a girl in her early 20's, who must put up with her perverted sidekick Ralph. It has everything your not-so-average webcomic has: lots of swearing (some of which is censored for some reason), sexual content, violence, and screwed up storylines.

mormon exploitation

Two young LDS members carried Patrick's luggage all the way up 14 flights of stairs. Once to his apartment Patrick quickly entered and slammed the door. And he though to himself: now that was some good mormon exploitation.

Frieda listened for 4 and a half hours while Josiah spoke about how The Church had changed him for the better. She really wasn't interested but really needed help getting her house cleaned for the party that night so she did some mormon exploitation.

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.
