All the comments are talking about how terrible it looks. But I think it looks pretty good and it’s not even finished yet. Not sure I’d want it in my Casa House, but I do like it.
FAANGs Out
What was your biggest salary increase?
Got an 83% salary bump going to work for a FAANG, and I already had a high salary. Kept that when I went and did something else that didn’t suck as much.
Recalc
Lord, you motherfuckers are bad at math. One billion is 0.1% of a trillion. Nowhere even close to 10 percent. (Yes, I know he said “not even 10 percent,” but he meant that $1.65 billion is close to but not quite 10% of $1.77 trillion. When in reality it is precisely 0.0932% of $1.77 trillion. Quite a different thing.)
And I’m supposed to be the one bad at math. Pathetic.

Kamala Harris will never be president of the United States. Well, unless, you know…Biden is pretty old. But she’ll never be elected.

But Russia is WINNNNNNNNNNNNNING! Ian Welsh said so!
Fuck, man, I prefer the real truth. If Russia actually were winning I’d be the first to say it here. But unlike most, and all of the Putin pud-pullers, I want to know as best I can what’s really happening. I want Ukraine to prevail, yes, but I also want to understand what’s occurring so I can plan for that true, actual future.
I have no interest in going down this stupid Ian Welsh path: The US is bad, therefore Russia is winning! That ain’t no kind of thinking.
Right now, Russia has a slight advantage because they are sending meat waves with old equipment in probing attacks and are losing up to 3,000 people per kilometer they gain. Russia is vast with a large population, but not that wealthy, and will only be able to sustain such a thing for a limited time.
And that’s what’s really happening.
Power Full
This is most RTO. It has absolutely nothing to do with being more efficient or productive. It’s about five things:
1) Demonstration of power
2) MBA idiocy (see above)
3) Commercial Real Estate
4) Extrovert social bailout
5) Taking up more time of employee lives so they have less free time to explore other options
That’s all it is.
Nonstandard
What is something women would dismiss everytime but is true?
That their standards (at least in the US) have gone insane (mostly due to social media) while men’s have remained about the same. Thus, many more women are unhappy than men. Or at least in a different, preventable way.
If you bring this up with many women, though, you’re likely to be called an “incel.” But it’s just a damn fact that when 90% of women are competing for 2% of men, a lot of y’all are gonna end up dissatisfied. So do like you tell men to do: suck it up and fucking deal with it.
