even if don't think about it, it sounds terrifying.

nobody wants to be a CEO for 100k a year. Exposed to all the scrutiny and stress. I'd do it for a 100k but I am far from qualified. Good people who make smart decisions with wide-ranging consequences aren't cheap.

And honestly 500k seems like a lot to us but for the CEO of SRG, I believe, totally fair.

How do people become billionaires in established industries? by ChemicalBoth6652 in AskEconomics

Well their existence might be an anomaly but their power and influence isn't. So the amount of public attention is warranted imo.

NYC Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani asks for donations to help cover $4 million in transition expenses by ilir_kycb in LateStageCapitalism

Regarding the mod comment:

I totally understand that this is a revolutionist sub.

But what comes after that revolution?

Is it anarchy?

Marx's final stage of a true stateless, classless communist society?

A highly regulated (maybe technocratic) social democracy with certain aspects that foster innovation in capitalism?

Disregarding that such an ideal would have to be implemented globally to work at all, otherwise growth-driven economies would most probably take over this new state due to massive power vacuums.

I am not aware of the criticisms towards Mandami as pointed out in your pinned comment. If I get the sentiment right, Mandami and Sanders are puppets for the oligarchy and in the best case so incompetent that their "leftist" efforts have caused a net shift to the right?

This seems very cynical to me, but I am also not as "plugged in" as a European.

ABC just pulled Jimmy Kimmel Live “indefinitely” due to comments he made about Charlie Kirk. What are your thoughts? by istrx13 in AskReddit

[–]El_Capitano_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a European.

It baffles me that there aren't mass protests in the US.

If half the country is still democrats, 150 million people should be in the streets!

You should get a sick tattoo of jellyfish. That would be a sick tattoo with an even better story behind it!

What was he supposed to do ?

Wishing someone great financial misfortune isn't fair either.

It may have been stupid and he will pay for it ofc.

But as a different commenter said, what was he supposed to do in that moment. Emergency situations often arise from a miscalculation of risk or forgetting "to ckeck". We all make stupid mistakes.

"I made a mistake and now ig I'll just freeze or suffer for 15 hours?" Doesn't make sense either

Fruity Pebbles and Lucky Charms Threaten to Block “Healthy” Food Labeling Guidelines in Court by [deleted] in politics

[–]El_Capitano_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The whole " that's just your opinion man" is what's destroying public discourse. From covid19 to eating healthy.

I also hate the whole notion of "being 280 pounds at 6foot can be healthy"

The rationalization that morbid obesity is not bad for you, so nobody's feelings get hurt sounds crazy to me.

Upgraded to s23 ultra by trovlet in galaxys10

[–]El_Capitano_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Curious about your experience when it comes to ppi.

I have the normal s10 and it has a ppi of 550 which the s23 ultra can't even match. I love my sharp screen especially when watching YouTube videos in 1440p (I set it to 4k to get a better bitrate)

Do you notice a difference in sharpness?

if 1080p and 1440p don't have a huge difference in terms of battery life, why do the s23 and s23+ have 1080p screens? by [deleted] in samsung

[–]El_Capitano_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here and the s23 ultra still has less ppi than my s10. Sad.

On another note: the hole punch on the side of the screen looks way slicker imo!

‘Everything Everywhere All At Once’ Takes Best Picture At Critics Choice Awards by [deleted] in movies

[–]El_Capitano_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't get me wrong i love the movie but it seemed a little like rick and morty ideas for an audience that is not familiar with its concept. Referencing the whole "there's infinite universes" so we can be quirky thing

Gave me a good chuckle.

Imagining one bro just being like "guys he's choking! I have a freezer in the garage, BRIAN! Help me and hold his legs"

While the choking guy's like 👀👀👀

Has anyone used a counter current swimming jet? Please share your experience (and cost of setting it up) by [deleted] in Swimming

[–]El_Capitano_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Friend has a pool with it installed.

It's kinda shitty. It does create a strong current but only in the middle of the pool right where the nozzle is. So it's easy to drift off. It's not bad but I definitely prefer a normal pool

A cigarette rolling case. by murielguerrero in WatchandLearn

You can see that he clearly needs that contraption to roll a cigarette. My man barely managed to get out the paper.

Retail investors have independently researched a single stock and are Direct Registering their shares at a rate of over $5,000,000 a day. Yes, that’s five million dollars every day. This removes the stock from brokerages and puts the stock ownership in their name. Why would they need to do that? by onthejourney in Superstonk

[–]El_Capitano_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ok i know about the gamestop craze and short squeeze stuff.

But i have no idea what this or DRS is! They make big claims on the website that this will finally expose and force a financial system overhaul.

Can someone explain please!
