Then the camera pans out and it’s like a scene out of the Terminator movies. “I’m here to cancel you. Please do not resist. Overcorp thanks you for your cooperation.”
Didn’t knew the service, tried looking it up. Was surprised at first but, yeah “Ente” is “Duck” in German. So, that makes sense. (Funny though that it not shows me facts about the animal, but the best way to eat it)
I wouldn’t read too much in to it. I have recently received false positives on GoG emails. I suspect Google would much rather have a whole bunch of false positives than one missed positive. Bad PR and such.
I feel this. While I am not overly fond of capitalism or the United States government, most of the memes criticizing them are so un-funny they hurt. They weren’t made because the OP had a funny idea for a meme, but because they wanted to insult the U.S. or capitalism and had to find some joke to do it. They feels so forced.
I think we as a community can balance making a political point with being actually funny at least a little better than we do
Reminds me of one of the ‘warnings’ they gave us in basic training - tldr is that the folks in finance are just as dumb as the rest of us, and invariably there are a couple recruits in every batch that have their first paycheck MAJORLY fucked up.
Like, instead of the $400 we’re supposed to get, we’d get like $40,000 cuz of some fat-finger fuckup in Excel.
The warning was “DO NOT TOUCH a single cent of money you’re not supposed to have, cuz they WILL notice and you WILL have to pay it back!”
…which in my mind translated to: “If you win the finance fuckery lottery, all your loans just became 0% interest!!”
Don’t know how that works with the feds, but I worked IT for a private payroll firm. If we fucked up and put extra money in your account, that was your money. We had no means of taking it back. None.
Imagine the possible scams if it wasn’t that way!
Caveat: If the bank fucks up and deposits too much, while that’s on them, you don’t get to keep the funds.
I’ll note: American employees, while not having the protections we should have, probably get more than you think. If you start work for us and I send you a $3,500 MacBook, and you quit next week? LOL, keep it. HR can’t hold your last check or any other such thing.
Was the benefactor of finance mistake in military. It’s not your money, it’s the government’s. They take it back. You have no defense and no rights.
Bonus is if they screw up and give you $25k extra like they did me, you can pay it back as 10% of your base income, interest free. Turned out to be a 0% interest 3 year car loan for me!
There should be a law that should any book go out of print, to be digitized and made available online. Publishers shouldn’t dictate which books are allowed to be consumed once they allow it out of print when digital versions cost next to nothing to make available for a nominal price.
That goes for authors owning the copyright, as well.
