I don’t know for sure, but I’m paid pretty high here comparatively for the company (I get paid less than I should for the actual experience and position, but it’s a smaller company that pays everyone less), and I know I got paid more than some of my previous managers here while I was under them. I was also paid like 20k more than someone who started 2 years before me.

It’s more the previous owners negotiated directly with each hire and I knew what I was worth more than they did.

Ah, I remember that, but since I never watched it i couldn’t recognize a scene.

Definitely fair, and no argument against. Though, in both instances that I got laid off, it was on the 5th round of layoffs, and my bosses (who I got along with both times) got laid off before me in the 4th round. In addition, at one of the companies I was friends with the person who cut access and all, and they kept it secret from even her until the day after taking her phone and keeping them in a locked room. Both times someone either way up the chain or from HR delivered the news, so not sure the bosses would have even came into the convo, had they not already been canned anyway

Hmm, what’s your definition of quiet quitting? The definition I understand is doing your job as it is described to you, but not doing any of the “going the extra mile” for free, or putting in extra effort beyond what the job description entails.

I’m also curious if those replying to you also have the same or different definitions, since conversations only work if we agree on the definition of terms.

Oh, Sugi didn’t make that up? Interesting…

Eh,my current manager was under me prior to a change in teams. I didn’t go for that position because I hate management. He’s still a great guy who largely lets me work however I need to, and shields me from upper management. I like having good managers who can be a buffer between me (tech) and upper management who don’t exactly understand what I do.

I’m a baba ganoush fan myself…switch out roasted eggplant for the chickpeas and the recipe is pretty similar.

Dying might change my mind, yes. I seem to be allergic to both kinds of bugs

Mine goes after my feet. Do I mess with his feet? What’s with all the questions?!

I understand the appreciation of the…“theatre” of wrestling, but I can’t get past how much it destroys their bodies. I don’t watch football either. I could watch fiction about both.

Wasn’t a cat, but my friends pit pup started treating it like a game. Act up, I grab the bottle, she’d square up ready to try and dodge the spray.

The judge ordered them to resubmit the completing without the logos. Didn’t dismiss the case, and not sure if there were any other consequences yet, but it seems reasonable to me.

Two people can have the same idea. There’s even a term for it in science. Do you think Randall has watched every YouTube video that exists? I personally have never seen the video you linked, and while it has a decent amount of views, 13M over 12 years is pretty insignificant for other viral videos(for instance, nigahiga has multiple videos in the 30-60m range, and plenty more in the same 10-20m range like this video).

You mean hot leaf juice?

I’m not a programmer; at best I script.

Eh, that’s your view of it. I first came across this joke in high school, with our chemistry teacher. He didn’t do it to feel superior; if he wanted to do that he could humiliate us in different ways. He used it as a teaching opportunity to show how a slight exaggeration on true facts and a complicated sounding word could confuse people.

He probably also did it to show us why learning some chemistry nomenclature could help us out. He was a fun teacher that loved showing us the joy of science, not a condescending asshole.

You seem to think we all enjoy tricking people, but there are several comments here explaining the joke for people who don’t get it. If they weren’t here, I or someone else would have. Not everyone who has a little fun with something someone doesn’t know yet does it maliciously.

The whole 1 in 10000 xkcd thing is something I love, and whenever my fellow IT people get angry that some client doesn’t know something we find obvious, I counter that there’s tons of law, fashion, medical etc stuff we dint know but our clients are experts at.

She also sang a song about getting the COVID vaccine iirc.

Mch stands for Machinist, a ranged gun class in FF14, and wildfire is an attack from said class that gets stronger the more hits you land during its duration. The max hits is 6, but enough lag and you can only get 5 of them off in the window. The game has a default 2.5 second global cool down between skills, though some gear and some skills can reduce that. In particular for Wildfire, you combine it with a skill that allows 5 hits of itself plus 1 other at 1.5s per cool down, but if you’re adding another .1 to each of those it can add up to miss unless very tight on timing.

Not a game breaker, but if you’re trying to push through your best performance because your group is failing at 1-2% you can’t really help not being mad at it.

Edit: in addition, the frustration isn’t you personally dying in some pvp, but your group of 8 friends you’re also holding back on fights. In addition to lowering damage, deaths can wear down your healers mp(and significantly lower your own damage output) so some tight mechanics can be harder to react, especially if your brain has you move wrong at first. None of these by themselves are terrible, but over the course of 3 hours working at clearing multiple fights it can wear you out and kill your enjoyment.

Very intelligent people can like childish fart jokes and dad jokes. It has nothing to do with their intelligence; people just have opinions on humor. I don’t like scatological jokes, but I don’t try to define someone’s intelligence with it. That would be extremely stupid, as they are not related.

Duck oyakodon?
