I know someone who just got hired at an unfinished Meta data center, ostensibly to do some low-level hardware monitoring and maintenance. His boss admitted that he accidentally hired people a couple months too early, so the first couple weeks have consisted of sitting around, eating free food and playing mobile games. Next week they're being flown to an active data center out of state, but they won't have much of their own work to do for another 4-6 weeks.

So these guys are being paid $25/hr, 40hrs a week, with a free lunch, and making no money for the company. I would expect any other company to find this unacceptable, but it's just a drop in the bucket for Meta.

Damn dude, these are legendary "this guy knows his shit" comments.

Most (all?) fees that are a percentage of the total are straight up criminal. Specifically credit card fees and restaurant tips.

23 childcare centers in 8.5 years. A new one every 4-5 months. That's insane.

This is the closest to my philosophy. I keep a few $1 bills in my car and hand them out to anyone who asks. I'm not interested in judging whether they look like they need it, or what I think they'll spend it on. I just want them to know they're not invisible.

He's pleading with people to fund the DNC, when DNC-backed candidates are often the most useless losers on the ticket.

Jesus, you're committed! Thanks for the tips.

What's your language-learning method?

To your first point, there was a story about the alarming number of searches for "did Biden drop out" but it didn't mention that this would have included searches like "when did Biden drop out" and "why did Biden drop out." So it was a half true and half clickbait.

Doesn't seem that suspicious to me. One person could be supplying dozens of users who hang around that area. If they're all doing the same batch, and the batch is too strong, it follows that something like this would happen.

My god, that must have been a horrible scene. There are a few intersections in my city that have become hubs for fent users and it's very sad to see. I don't cast any moral judgments, but it is visually disturbing to see people frozen or slumped over.

Won't someone think of the theatrics?

Why do they need guns if they're aid workers?

Jake Paul isn't championship caliber, and may never be, but as a boxer he's not the joke that people seem to think he is.

I also wonder if they'll make sure the red states aren't hit as hard. I know the way the bill is written, we assume it'll be enforced equally, and since red states receive more federal assistance they'll be hit the worst. But what's stopping them from selectively fucking blue states?

That wasn't a strawman, it was a direct challenge to your claim that non-voters decided the election.

I like stuff with a bumping beat and no words. K-Lone and Facta are some UK producers whose music I just play over and over when I need to focus.

I won't try to change your mind, but I rewatch all of Succession like every 6 months. As soon as I finish I have to stop myself from starting over right away. God it's so good.

It was super popular, I think people maybe have some nostalgia for it, but it's really a bad show.

Does that also remove easily without leaving a mark? The VHB tape says it's not for sensitive surfaces.
