This seems… reasonable..? They’re not telling you not to do this. It’s a safety measure in case 1. You either fat finger the tip screen and don’t realize it or 2. You write a $5 tip on your receipt and the waiter rings it up for $50. It probably triggers after 25 or 30% on a tip. Who cares?
I don’t really get a lot of people on this website. This is just a good faith, consumer friendly security check email and people will still read it and find a way to feel morally superior about it
Na. It still basically amounts to “get over yourself, our guy good the other guy bad”. It completely ignores legitimate grievances of the Biden administration.
I don’t think you’re really getting the point if the main thing you got hung up on there was “calculating the approximate value of a worker to a CEO during their tenure at a company”
Ok. That’s a very fine system if everyone in the country works in a button factory where they just push buttons on a keyboard all day and don’t actually produce anything.
What do you think businesses are… making products for??
Honestly I think we’re going to hit a wall where we realize we need about half as many “office drones” as we have in a couple years.
So many people with office jobs drive in, sit at a desk, and do maybe 2 hours of actual work in the entire day. Or they work from home and do the same. And then they collect their 95k/year salary.
I really dunno if people are prepared for businesses to start going “wait, what are all of these people doing?” And axing their workforce and replacing most of them with AI or existing other employees
Cronies yes, but it’s my understanding (and the understanding of several journalists) that letting Trump sell his stock would be such a wildly disastrous move for them financially that it’s unlikely. Like - they would be better off just donating the money to him themselves
Was just listening to an NPR story on this. You could really tell they were toeing the line of just saying “the stock market is bullshit and nothing in it means anything anymore” but not really having the nerve.
The Trump Media conglomerate makes essentially no money. It really doesn’t. Sparse, very few ads. Maybe no subscription service. But it still is massively valued on the stock market basically because a bunch of chuds really like Trump and big investors see it as an easy way to “bet” on who will win the presidency.
The whole thing is a giant spin on the roulette wheel. It’ll either crash and burn or Trump will win and it’ll probably soar into the air again.
Well that’s kind of my confusion - because CS:GO isn’t an “easy” game per se, but it’s still massively popular.
It’s hard for me to know why. I do think the skill floor (as opposed to skill ceiling) is a decent part of it - but I honestly think a lot of it is just developers who never knew how to adapt that kind of arena shooter into something that actually makes money.
Don’t thank me, thank the Democratic Party
