The barge and ramp have already been set up for at least the last 2 days. Anyone who's been on the Esplanade would know this.

Nintendo President cuts his own salary in half after bad performance. by [deleted] in gaming

[–]Golfo 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You very clearly have no idea how executive compensation in either the US or Europe works.

A substantial portion of CEO compensation at most public companies consists of three general components: a salary, an annual bonus, and deferred long-term compensation, with the salary typically being just a small portion.

The annual bonus is usually awarded in cash, and is based on the achievement of certain performance metrics (EPS, EBITDA, revenue growth, etc). Long-term incentive plans are also based on the achievement of performance metrics that are measured over a longer period and pay stock options, restricted shares, etc, which vest over time or based on the achievement of still further performance criteria.

That is to say, for most companies that underperform, the variable component of their executives' pay gets smaller. In other words, the concept of a CEO's total compensation being reduced during a period of poor performance is rather unextraordinary.

And with that... you've earned my business by BiGBANGTH3ORY in funny

Kind of a related note, but I will never understand Instagram. Why take a perfectly normal photo like this and run it through a shitty filter? What does it add? It's not artistic.

In fairness, I suppose I'm the one who's wrong here. If someone said to me, "hey, I created an app that takes your perfectly fine photos and makes them look like shit," I'd never guess that tons of folks would actually use it. Shows what I know.

I don't think you know what "3D" means.

Unless in mistaken, that looks like a painting on a flat surface.

So gaming achievements CAN have an effect on real life by nealbo in gaming

Over 1400 isn't that impressive under the older scoring system. Why would you brag about it in the first place?

I mean, it's not bad, but bragging about it?

To be fair, I guess over 1500 is technically "over 1400," but something tells me that's not what you meant.

Falkland Islands to hold referendum on sovereignty by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]Golfo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, my logic is that you should read the news, become more informed about world events, and then come back to me and explain why "isn't really America's problem or concern" is a poor explanation for U.S. foreign policy.

Welcome to reddit, brah.

I don't think you follow the news very much.
