It’s all about who owns it and is sitting on the board.

Bunch of old money type people? They don’t care too much about a bad year, more important to weather the storms and keep the generational money intact.

Venture capitalists? Jack Welch this dogshit company and get us some short term gains!

It’s probably one of the dentists I visited while in the army.

“Toothpaste! Use sandpaper you bitch. No, I’m serious. Then floss with it.”

This was the freeing moment for me working from home. Getting my work done and then sitting there, six hours left in the work day.

No Karen bitch coming over to their captive audience and talking to me about her piece of shit cats or grandkids that are assholes. Dare I say anything and it’s a documented trip to HR.

Yeah, those people are all sad no one is being forced to listen to them. Maybe be interesting and people will be your friend, have something to offer. But no, they want to treat us like we are NPC’s and steal away our working time.

Fuck these parasites. I like seeing them go into the office and hate the other people like them. “Brenda talks too much, so anyways, about my 16th grandchild…”

I was at the Ozzfest where Black Sabbath did a reunion tour. Think the tickets were $25.

Mixing now requires phenomenally less equipment. We went from massive mixing boards to a collection of individual dials and now we are on very powerful digital modeling systems with a laptop interface.

Sure, these need to be dialed in at every venue, but most of the settings are staying close to the same to recreate a studio type sound with autotune turned slightly down and letting the chord change strum be left in.

I remember buying tickets for all day event concerts in the 90’s that were absolutely amazing for between $20 and $50. Went to every Ozzfest from 94-99 and the most I spent on a ticket was $35.

Now those lineups would cost $500+, and for what? Some added light shows? There is less equipment needed now than ever before. Audio modeling is incredible. What once required a massive pedal board and post processing done in a huge computer can be accomplished by a Helix stomp and a competent audio engineer with a laptop and a few other systems. FRFR speakers are cheaper than ever and sound better as well. The “this has gotten more expensive” line is a crock of shit.

Tickets should have scaled with inflation. This is just the next iteration of record company greed. We knew it was happening with physical music sales but now with Spotify and Apple Music they can’t gouge at that level. Line must go up, so it’s happening with concerts.

You have no understanding of any market outside your own little bubble, and looking at your past comments really enjoy speaking from that vast void of Dunning-Kruger. It’s really pathetic.

All the decent answers I find are from 5+ years ago. I check the user’s activity and they normally quit the place. Warms the heart.

We are required to show up one day a week, but my employer usually buy breakfast and/or lunch. It’s a decent meal, not a shitty half slice of pizza.

None of us dress up. Not the bosses, the lawyer, no one. We sit in the conference room looking like it’s finals weeks. No one cares, and we get more done.

Just fire more of those stupid engineers and scientists and run some more AI on it. Us business majors know best!

“Made in the USA” can be sewing on the label in a factory that hires >50 people.

They replaced their management, who were mostly engineers with MBA’s, to business majors with MBA’s who worship Jack Welch. The IQ in the room plummeted as the ghost of Welch demanded sacrifices for short term gains so they might one day get their golden parachute.

6x6 support beam? Something real nice.

Fortunately for Germany, their Boomer era people decided “fuck you Nazi scum” and they had a reckoning which saw most of them displaced from government and held liable for their crimes as Nazi.

And now the Boomers in the USA help elect Nazi Republicans to office.

Remember, it was the Chinese labs that also reproduced the room temperature super conductor experiment a few years ago and also found their own material…and then it all turns out to be complete bullshit.

One patient doesn’t mean anything. It’s great if it’s real (having worked directly with China for engineering, I have zero faith this is even a real thing) but there is a lot of reason to doubt at this point.

Breathing has a 100% death rate.

Supply side Jesus recommends carpet bombings. Get with the times!

You are entirely wrong. Russian doctrine with nuclear weapons has cases in which nuclear weapons would be detonated as area deniability. You nuke an ingress route, it will keep infantry and tanks from being able to attack in that direction.

They also had doctrine about losing land and essentially turning it into a Carthage situation and making it completely unlivable.

The Lich the holds Jack Welch’s phylactery demands sacrifices.
