I think the manager's struggle is when things aren't completed in the time expected. Is it because there were unexpected unknowns that added more time, or is it because the person is just fucking off and not working? When the employee is WFH, this is a much more difficult question to answer.

Well here’s hoping the rest of time isn’t too long.

All I thought was why is Michael Madsen in this?

99% of people are, but just think about that for a second.

In all civilized societies, sex is a normal thing that occurs regularly, and violence and gore is much much rarer and very traumatic to most people. The vast majority of parents had sex to make their children, yet watching actors simulate sex with our parents or children is much more uncomfortable than watching actors simulate violence. It’s really bizarre when you divorce it from our normal hang-ups.

Shooting an attacker after they’re dead just seems like overkill.

Perfectly toxic, as all stack overflow comments should be.

Not as hilarious as this confidently incorrect sentence

The point is it’s fun because there’s nothing bigger to hunt.

Anyone who puts maraschino cherries on a hotdog should be immediately banned from every culinary school on earth.

Not a fan of the big red boot, but I’ve loved a few of their other subversive designs. I just copped their latest Reebok Omnizone with pump bubbles all over the shoes and absolutely love them.

That doesn’t actually matter. You are making excuses for why the tax system is too complicated to include tax, and I’m telling you they’ve already solved the issues of different tax rates across one currency. In the EU, where most counties share the same currency, companies are required to include tax in the displayed price and show the customer how much of the purchase is tax.

I work with Point of Sale companies and know this problem is solved. It is not too difficult to achieve from a technical or practical perspective, so you’ll have to dig up some other reason this is somehow unachievable.

That’s pretty standard if not affordable for handmade tables and chairs, and it’s a factor of ten away from the lectern, nowhere even remotely close to $19k.

It’s not LIKE that. It 100% IS that. That is the entire intended point of rolling coal.

Yes VAT does change from country to country. Also VAT is more complex than sales tax in that it is applied to various consumer goods as well as some services.

No one’s saying you don’t show the tax on the receipt. It’s not like no one has figured it out yet.

The EU requires tax to be included in prices displayed to customers, and each country has their own specific country regional and local tax codes. They manage just fine, so can the US.

I’m confused. When did this conversation divert to Pearl Harbor?

Not with that attitude
