I’ve seen some of the laziest biggest pieces of shit not get fired because we’re union.
It doesnt need to be this way, but through corruption or other means this has happened.
Like the room in NY with teachers that just sit in it all day because they cant be fired.
- Comment on Ubisoft Co-Founder Claude Guillemot Dies In Plane Crash 1 week ago:
I was just reading a story about some sky divers who died in a plane crash shortly after launch.
It said the non commercial airliner stuff isn’t held to the same standards, and whatever state / agency it was said it couldn’t say these types of planes are safe because of it.
- Comment on Supermarkets destroy food if it doesn't sell. We can always feed the world. We just don't. 2 weeks ago:
We have a couple of services where I’m at now, where as food approaches its best before date, it goes into the app where you can order it at a discount and then go pick it up in store. If it can be frozen, they’ll also freeze it to prolong its shelf life.
I once got a large box of like 50 frozen burgers (frozen by default, not fresh to frozen) for like 80% off because they’d reached the best before on the box. They weren’t freezer burned or anything like that, they were perfect.
A lot of places would have just thrown that out.
- Comment on Electronic Arts has launched EA Advertising, a way for brands to integrate ads in games 2 weeks ago:
Im still baffled by all the money some games make off cosmetics.
Cosmetics in paid loot boxes are a serious issue, but if you can make money to help pay for your game with cosmetics, all the more power to ya, but i don’t understand it hah.

If Nintendo didn’t have so many good exclusives, it doesn’t make that much sense to get ya.
- Comment on The rich convinced us that taxing them is too complicated but everyday people can be taxed pretty easily 5 weeks ago:
If you can’t figure out how to turn enough profit on your $10B company to pay the wealth tax, then you have to sell enough of it to pay the tax, and someone else gets more say in how the company runs.
What’s actually more likely to happen is executives would take a higher salary to pay the taxes and pay their employees less, because the last thing they want to do is be forced to sell shares which is the same as giving up ownership and control of their company at that level.
So yes there might be more taxes, but itd be at the disadvantage of the employees, and the government will give it all to DND anyway and you’ll never see a dime of it.

This is where I stand on it. Charging taxes on unrealized gains is never going to happen, and its not like we’re going to give them a refund if it swings the other way.
Taxing collateralizion and usage of the unrealized gains would be massive, and if they don’t like the new system, then sell them and pay taxes like everyone else.
- Comment on An 82-year-old YouTuber grandma was raided by police and SWATs during her live stream last night where she plays Minecraft to raise money for her grandsons cancer. Authorities brought 20 police cars 1 month ago:
It really depends on what the call in was.
If someone says there’s an active threat and their life is in danger, sending 1 car would would be gross negligence.
Now, this call, seems excessive.

So what youre saying is it was gods will for the church to decline and it was done via the plague which must have come from God if everything is part of God’s plan, which means God wanted fewer followers and eventually have none?

- Comment on I was on social media before web browsers existed. I am Legion. 3 months ago:
Ive been around the internet since early dial up days, and while I haven’t used every social platform that appeared, Facebook was the one where I saw everyone was really just posting their projected self, the world is amazing fake lives. I dont think it necessarily started immediately like that, but it quickly became that.

- Comment on How come in American classrooms they make another language an elective. Why not teach our kids as many languages possible that way if we go somewhere we will kind of have uper hand? 4 months ago:
In Canada when I was growing up, if you didnt take french immersion, they made you take 1 french language class a year up until grade 10.
They also taught Japanese and for senior year if you’d taken them all could go on a trip to Japan.

I didn’t know someone was trying a different approach like that, their animated graphics were really cool.
Eventually someone has gotta figure this out, I just hope I’m alive to see it and the outcome of it.
