- Comment on Epic CEO Tim Sweeney says 'employers will see a stream of resumes of once-in-a-lifetime quality' after the company laid off more than 1,000 people 3 days ago:
I worked on calculating the total compensation packages for a major investment firm. We’re talking VERY large. They got most of their income in “internal shares” with long term incentive delays on them like 3 years.

Yes, when I say pay I mean total compensation. Those people take cheap loans out against their equity.

Another brilliant CEO decision that is definitely worth his massive pay.

Based on their relationship to Trump I’d say they were impotent.

And WoW offers an API for plugins like boss assistants.

The time demands of raiding in WoW made me drop the game cold turkey.
- Comment on I am an American. I used to be proud of my country. Now it feels like a turd circling the drain. Is there anything going on behind the scene that America is actually doing good in? 1 week ago:
I’d say it has made most Americans stop taking democracy, or even sanity in our leaders, for granted. We’ve always looked out over the oceans at “them” and pitied those countries with crazy leaders and corruption and now it has taken roost here.

These layoffs come just months after the unexpected death of Battlefield franchise head Vince Zampella in a car accident. They also come as EA is preparing to be acquired by an investor group composed of Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, Silver Lake, and Affinity Partners for approximately $55 billion.

- Comment on Incel propaganda in my music app 4 weeks ago:
Speaking of propaganda, I’ve been getting pro ICE propaganda on the Plex service from a group called “American Sovereignty”. Blatantly racist ads.

Same thing here. Crime is down but reporting is up.

I skip ads by just hitting f5 until they stop.
- Comment on With the ICE raids coming up at a very faster rate, do we need more self-defense (or community defense organizing) classes? 2 months ago:
I think people here watch too many movies. Reality is a lot different.
- Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US? 2 months ago:
Yup, it would take mass unemployment and the impoverishment of the average person to trigger anything like happened in 1920s Germany.
- Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US? 2 months ago:
lol what? The US is full of guns and they just seem to get used for road rage, robberies and the occasional mass murder.
- Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US? 2 months ago:
Internal collapse and/or a foreign coalition. If the US goes after Greenland I’d hope the rest of NATO stuck to their treaty obligations and fought back.
- Comment on I just learned 37% of Americans fear vaccinating their dog will cause the dog to develop autism. 😐 3 months ago:
The treatment for rabies is a vaccine so I hope these people stick to their beliefs and if they get infected they refuse the vaccine. The fatality rate for rabies is 100%.

Regardless of how bizarre this is the implied message is “I’d rather see my kid die of a virus than have any autism.”

- Comment on How do you beat post-work floppiness? 4 months ago:
I have some after work martial arts classes and on the other days I practice for an hour or so on my own. I also think up what I want to cook and keep it interesting. Most of our crappy eating and snacking is due to boredom.
- Comment on Why isn't the rest of the world doing anything about the USA? 4 months ago:
Not depending on the US for defending them. (NATO)

Yup. Europe needs to become self sufficient again and move on from WW2 and the Cold War.
