I’m 35 and I have no idea why people my age would love this kind of thing.

I’m on a prepaid plan and my phone number has worked with blizzard since I did the authenticator years ago. I need more actual research than like vibes from people.

The original G4 worked because YouTube, and streaming content in general, didn’t exist. I was in college at the time. Anyone old enough to remember the original G4 is probably too old to care about the revival. And those too young have YouTube, Twitch, etc. There was no need for this revival, and I’m not sure who…

The one thing GFuel does that sticks out to me from the other energy drinks is they sell the drink in a powdered form that you can mix yourself. If you don’t care about carbonation it’s cheaper and easier to store. They also pop up at discount stores because they’re on the whole cheaper than the other brands.

Just a reminder: if you’re an employee, HR is not on your side, especially when it comes to an issue with management. HR is there to do hiring & firing, paperwork, and to help keep the company out of lawsuits. Source: ~10 years working in HR.

Before the MAGA cult starts whining about the First Amendment:

Exactly. Two big sticking points for me:

I don’t like this format, if it’s just a video there should be audio commentary, if it’s just blocks of text it should be an article so people can read it at their own pace. 

Is it just me (and this is purely complimentary), but does Jane look a lot like a bearded Tom Hanks? It’s a good look on him!

As was pretty well established by a variety of much better informed commenters on Jezebel’s two posts regarding that, Sudeikis has zero control over how she was served and what’s more he publicly expressed regret about how that went down (despite having no control over it).

Yeah, I kinda’ hate that the sequels catered to the same fans that harassed Jake Lloyd and Ahmed Best.

I’m much more disappointed in the fans. Star Wars fans have proven to be a really weird group - it’s almost like they inhabit an alternate reality where the movies are actual history, where backstory, however contrived, is considered immutable. Unfortunately for them, Star Wars is a story that a guy wrote, a guy who…

Really disappointed with how LucasFilm, Johnson, Abrams, et al handled Finn.

It’s a strange thing to say that we shouldn’t fire the non-productive people because they’re liked, so instead let’s decrease morale for everyone else that’s productive. It’s work, not a social circle - get rid of the bad apples and everyone is happier.

And the gas from that driving.

So, fire them. Across the board productivity went up by all metrics during covid/WFH.

The reward for good work should not be more work. 

WFH scares the crap out of middle management because it made the world realize that there is not as much of a need for them as we thought. If employees get more work done at home without them breathing down their backs, then companies don’t need as many managers. 

Aside from not being interrupted by walk ups all day when wfh, I save on 13 DAYS a year of driving time. 13 days. 

Thanks, that’s so fucked up. Imagine being killed over someone else’s Call of Duty argument.

I’m fortunate enough to have been ignorant of KiwiFarm’s existence before. It always sucks to realize that there’s companies out there willing to take their money and host this shit
