a) there have been liquidation services as long as there have been stocks, yes you have to be patient to get the money but you can get it

b) just borrow against it and you essentially have infinite money

c) you can probably get anything for free at that level anyway

I am happy to make this concession provided I can either start making my lunch on company time, and then commute after I have finished making my lunch, or be allowed to fully go home, make and prepare lunch, dine, and commute back to work.

Oh, is that unproductive, a waste of time, money and energy, and massively impairs my ability to get work done?

Someone should draw some kind of conclusion from that, it seems.

funkless_eck ,

just make sure it doesn’t smell, stain, is difficult to eat, is easy to prepare, easy to clean and you’ve measured out the right amount to prevent wastage.

or just let me work from home?! which is better in every way?! for everyone involved?!

reason why i said “most” not “all” most examples are from the 17th and 18th century when proof was hard to ascertain and there have only been a handful of modern occurring examples since the prevalence of science and photography

funkless_eck ,

I did say “most,” 1963, 2005 and 2021 are the only real ones I can find.

Compared to there being dozens in the 17th and 18th centuries

fair. but having gone through a phase where I read all of Crowley, Eteilla, Charles Fort, bunch of Golden Dawn / Rosicrucian texts etc I just get this feeling that it was hokum most of the time for dramatic effect

tea bags, which are casual, 3 minutes.

if you’re steeping tea leaves and you care about it, teas have different steeping times

same as going for a jog vs being an ultramarathon runner

or painting a wall vs building a houses for a living

it’s about whether you care about the process or want a quick solution

I used to work at a place where a guy would bring his guns in his truck to work every day.

To work in sales in an office in an industrial estate.

They were locked in that metal case in the back of his Ram, but if you were robbing a truck isn’t that the first place you’d look? I also am willing to bet they weren’t disassembled, cased, ammo separate either.

Exit polls show Swiss anti-immigrant party on track for record election showing (www.politico.eu)

The Swiss People’s Party (SVP), which centered its campaign on anti-immigrant rhetoric, is projected to win 29 percent of the vote, up from 25.6 percent four years ago and higher than pre-election polls. It has been the country’s largest party since 2003.

this is going to be an unpopular take but you’ve said a bunch of vaguely-sounding popular things but have missed the main issues with immigration.

Anyone who says they want to limit immigration for cultural reasons (e.g. I may wear a hat you don’t like, or speak a different language, or comb my hair in a different way) is lying.

“but so-and-so said…”

they were lying.

It boils down to this: if you can meet a (surprisingly low) wage in your new host country, you are a net benefit to that country and will be welcomed.

All that about burqas, treatment of women, LGBTQ+ rights is irrelevant. All that stuff about assimilating, or values, or tough restrictions is nonsense. Politicians say that stuff all the time. But it’s a lie. The truth is in the policy and the policy says: if you earn roughly USD$20k or local equivalent a year: welcome home!

Now people may think it should be different - but that I’d not the reality.

funkless_eck ,

I’m saying that the real immigration question is “how much money do you want to lose?”

immigrants are incredibly valuable, long term, to a country. You get someone who - even if they end up earning minimum wage - didn’t cost you anything to birth, nurse, and raise, doesnt qualify for benefits but starts paying tax. Even just the savings on the cost of school itself probably makes an immigrant worth it monetarily.

Not only that but the marginal cost it does take, that would eat into those “profits”, is then paid for by the fees an immigrant pays to emigrate.

That’s why the only check is a fairly low income checkmark, so that the process remains profitable.

not the Bible but “in God we trust” is a gender-neutral pronoun.

“In God men and women trust”…?

funkless_eck ,

“we is not gender neutral”

huh. TIL. what gender is it?

funkless_eck ,

Look, I know it’s sophistry, but so is the EO in the OP. But the fact of the matter is

  • I
  • you
  • it
  • we
  • they
  • me
  • you
  • us
  • them
  • this
  • that
  • these
  • those
  • such
  • mine
  • yours
  • ours
  • theirs
  • who
  • whom
  • whomever
  • whomsoever
  • what
  • whatever
  • which
  • whichever
  • whose
  • myself
  • yourself
  • self
  • itself
  • ourselves
  • yourselves
  • themselves
  • each other
  • one another
  • all
  • another
  • anybody
  • anyone
  • anything
  • both
  • each
  • either
  • everything
  • everybody
  • everyone
  • few
  • many
  • most
  • neither
  • nobody
  • none
  • no-one
  • nothing
  • several

are all gender-neutral. Some of them can’t logically refer to gender, true, but that doesn’t make them start being gendered either.

EDIT: ANNNND many of them do refer to an individual (I, me, you…)

funkless_eck ,

I think you mean

“Do men and women think men and women are being clever when men and women say men and women things?”

No Men or women have an issue with using “they”. The problem comes from men and women who want to force others to use “they” instead of “he or she.” Men and women are not about referring to a group of Men and women or men and women of unknown sex. Men and women are talking about a vocal minority of Men and women getting really upset at statements like “only women can be pregnant.”

I fixed all the gender neutral pronouns for you, now it makes much more sense.

Sorry, this man means: “This man fixed all the gender neutral men and women identifiers for the interlocutor who is either a man or a woman, now the man or woman text makes much more sense”

funkless_eck ,

I think you mean

“Men and women are amazed at the amount of effort the man in front of this man or woman is willing to go through to show men and women that the man in front of this man or woman doesn’t understand the man or woman manning or womaning going on.

This man or woman is going to block this man. Tired of men and women like this man making this man’s argument thinking he is clever.

Sorry reality bothers this man so much.”

funkless_eck ,

conversely, I’d argue that subjective feelings are always true - but they may disagree. I can be angry at you for no good reason, doesn’t mean I’m not angry, it just means I shouldn’t be in your opinion, but I should be in mine. All those things can be true simultaneously.

funkless_eck ,

the DHS would disagree with you, seeing as they named White Nationalist groups the biggest terrorist threat to the USA in 2020

because I am a big gobshite, I always mention this. They ask for feedback about benefits in most companies, I always say, “yeah you say unlimited time off but I’m not allowed to take 365 consecutive days?”

two separate companies have changed it to “flexible time off” because of my inability to keep my trap shut

then don’t do something for the benefit of humanity if you can’t handle not having infinite line-go-up. Numbers aren’t easily found but it looks like they generated north of a billion in profit, not revenue, profit.

If a billion, after all bills are paid, is not enough. Give it to someone to whom a billion is enough.

funkless_eck ,

companies enshittify themselves not to make money but to make more money than they did 3 months ago, repeat indefinitely.

If you didn’t have to meet that metric, and were happy with generating a billion dollars a year and didn’t have to make it 1.3B by next year, and 1.6B by the following, then you wouldn’t have to shittify your product to do so.

So when people are like “oh but poor YouTube won’t make any money if they make their product user friendly” don’t mean they will make no money, it’s that they will fall short of making 30% more money than last year and “only” make 10% more than last year.

(all numbers made up for illustrative purposes only)

funkless_eck ,

Where did you get that number from?

And Inflationary costs are taken into account before profit, so no, they aren’t losing money.
