  • A lot of it's competition with other companies. If you can imagine good CEOs like football players. Do they do much besides play around with inflated leather? Not really. So why do they earn hundreds more times than a paramedic that saves lives everyday? A competitor will pay up if Target won't, pushing Target out of the league.

    That's the justification. It's sick, but that's capitalism. Enjoy your sport!

  • Aw, manggg. But I just upgraded to Linux last week. Shoot...

    Back to being treated like an idiot, force fed bloat, having no control over my own PC, and taking four steps to get everything done but often ending up down a rabbit hole of 19 step troubleshooting just to say, "Fuck it! Fine! I'll accept the new feature" then being toured on the new feature after it crashes first then won't let you login, but finally you do and THEN you've got your file open but forget what for by then, all the while it's notifying you of updates constantly but you won't run them because you noticed it contains the AMD driver which is the old one so Adrenaline will stop working but that also means Windows has somehow undone the group policy fucking around you had to do. And they say Linux is hard while Windows thinks I'm the fucking idiot and I CANT EVEN SHRINK THE FUCKING PARTITION BECAUSE THE GOD DAMNED PAGE FILE IS JIZZED ALL OVER THE FUCKING DRIVE!!! RAAARRRGH!!!!

    Huh, sorry. I get flashbacks still. The doctors say with the right therapy, I'll be better in a year.

  • I think 'peeve' is more American because it's modern American-informal from 'peevish' so it's not caught on much in other countries. You'd probably.also be confused by 'pet aversion' which is actually the original and popular term, with a pet hate being the most slack of the two pets.

    Edit: Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever heard anyone say "peeve" in any other context, even Americans.

  • I never thought of it that way.

    battle snare drum to a montage of buying Super Soakers, ending with a one-liner to camera...

    ...It's time to get some pussies wet... and witches. But mainly the pussies because the aliens. Damn it, I ruined the one-liner.

  • Seems right to me. Think in centuries and not your lifetime. Your lifetine is more likely to span two centuries, so while the 1950s was just recently, you'll be in the 2050s.

  • Everyone here balancing the ethics of getting wet like it's assault.

    Water melts snowflakes and wicked witches, everyone else need not worry.

    All living things should be used to being wet either all the time or somewhat regularly. To think beyond that, wow, society has its teeth in you and you are lost.

  • Jeez. At my university, research allocation is different per the three academic types..

    Education: 0.1 FTE Education/Research: 0.35 FTE Research: 0.75 FTE

    The rest of the researcher FTE is allocated to community/student/service engagement, and education assistance.

    If they were doing 5 hrs of research a week, it would mean they have a 6.7 hr work week.

  • There is growing speculation that Russia might be willing to halt its invasion along current front lines in return for significant concessions.

    Well, obviously. If the US isn't already in cahoots with Russia and are just that dumb, there's a good chance they'll continue being dumb by throwing them a much needed line.

  • Well I'm clearly not capable of your levels of communication and unfortunately haven't been for some time.

    I foolishly thought of people's real world experiences to explain a reality, when all you wanted was validation of your claim by—I dunno—an ATM receipt, or something... As I said, I am struggling to communicate on this level. I am so daft, you see.

    Have a W-shaped cookie. You got me!

  • Assumptions will rarely end up in your favour.

    You perhaps didn't read they were teen backpackers? Of all the travellers in the world, find me a majority in the financial position to book all their accommodation with the confidence that no matter what, it's going to be great because that's the assurance of such a travel style and the price tag it comes with.

    It's not like you're going to find the best deals online in a place with a hundred places to stay. Or maybe you can and that's the irony of your assumption.
