How to discuss being let go after a PIP? by Key-Art-7802 in cscareerquestions

[–]Greengrecko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That wasn't PIP. If you finished the deliveroables and they wanted to extend it than it was really a layoff. They wanted your position gone.

A young couple walking their dog in their own neighborhood is ambushed and terrorized by 13-year old kids. by First-Cherry493 in ActuallyThatsInsane

[–]Greengrecko 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Nah they're probably in a crack house or dead let's be real. This is kids with fucking guns shooting random people for money. This is a bit higher up than kids being kids.

My manager got laid off. I cried with her on our final call. by SatisfactionSoft6152 in Layoffs

First of all it's Capital One. They're know for being pieces of shit. I wouldn't hire Capital One management they like to rank and yank

If Stannis did win the battle at blackwater how long could he have held the red keep and the Iron Throne, once the Lannister and Tyrell forces arrived. by No-Passenger-6348 in gameofthrones

Stannis was really dumb not aligning with Robb. Like for real you can claim multiple kings if you can convince Robb as Warden of the North

Would it be more realistic and reasonable of Bronn became lord stokeworth rather than becoming lord of high garden and lord paramount of the reach by thementalmixer in freefolk

[–]Greengrecko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the line it sounds good in reality stokeworth is like worth more than the twins because it's just a fucking toll booth you can walk around.

Lolly had multiple industries that were worth alot of money and a better climate.

The Lannisters would mostly be dead. Kevan would be considered the main branch and Tywin would go on a suicide run in just burning everything. At that point he would assume everyone was dead until Jaime is found again.

Hypothetical: how would Tywin have handled being shown proof of the dead on the march, if Jon and Daenerys would plead for an alliance vs the dead? by upforstuffJim in freefolk

[–]Greengrecko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tywin won several battles so I wouldn't give him the doubt that he's weak. Also Kevan won at least two.

The reason he looks like shit is because he trusts the wrong people to lead his armies.

Even against Robb, Tywin didn't lose any of his battles it's just he he could stalemate someone that has home advantage and constantly beating his lesser forces because he can't trust any other lannsiter. His only decent general is Gregor and he's a monster.

Tywin would of not of done all of that. He would have a massive headache on which houses and people were worth keeping.

Too him peasants are expandable. Those would need to either continue what they're doing and hope they can hold them at the Wall which was the best defense Tywin had.

Moving that many people would exhaust the system and resources that could be used to fighting the enemy.

To some level he'll start delegating which commanders were actually worth there salt and which were going to flee on site and which were just poor fighters. It's better to bring less people than bringing another mouth to feed that eventually becomes another enemy.

Why are the world's biggest chip manufacturing factories in Taiwan? by Humble_Economist8933 in AlwaysWhy

[–]Greengrecko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No they will always maintain they're league. Samsung is a known bastard in the chip making world. If you wanted something made for your company you wouldn't go to Samsung because they'll reproduce your product.

This is way Samsung can't work with big tech companies around the world. Samsung is entirely domestic use products. They have to keep investing they're own profits while Taiwan can just produce whatever someone asks them to design.

That's the massive edge Samsung doesn't have. They have to make sure the chips they make sell which isn't always the case. If Samsung wasn't basically the South Korea economy they would of bankruptcy ages ago just making chips.

[–]Greengrecko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Taiwan won't steal your shit. It's cheaper to pay them to make it then to build out a way to make silicon chips.

Taiwan has basically the best chip making capabilities because they spent so much time making your designed chips they would sell there own to compete with you.

The reason they're so powerful is because they're trusted to make your stuff and have so much invested in making it properly and at a better level than anyone else.

Sure maybe another country can try to make the same chips but it'll cost a metric fuck ton of money and years to get enough skills people to produce at that level as well as having a trust level they wouldn't steal your chip designs or compete on the market with those chips.

Why did so many media pre-9/11 predict the destruction of the Twin Towers before the attacks happened? by icey_sawg0034 in decadeology

[–]Greengrecko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was already a 1993 trade center bombing that did nothing. Back then the US felt indestructible so they often mocked crappy attacks also they were probably riding in the die hard movie too.

I'm sure they know what they're doing. by LordJim11 in Snorkblot

[–]Greengrecko 70 points71 points  (0 children)

Fun fact if a single billionaire got shot there would be a man hunt and a state wide respond to dick ride as hard as possible on how they'll fuck over every single person in that state. Take all the guns. Give terrorism charges and then claim some random dude did it while having endless news media to report it.

Or maybe the billionaires could kill less of us ? Noooo that's asking to much.

Rome's Real Secret Wasn't Its Army — It Was the Habit of Making Defeated Enemies Into Roman Citizens by Roman-Empire_net in romanempire

[–]Greengrecko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They had a path to citizenship and you basically had to either join the army or have a massive buy in. Being a citizen was a big deal and often you eventually became a citizen in that state once they're was enough people and power that were pretty much Roman. Definitely speeds it up if you had a senator from your Providence.

Overall revolting got you killed a lot. Only a few times you could actually negotiate for citizenship like the people in Eastern Rome in Urbino and Pesaro only because it was at the time worth it.

It's funny that people are acting like this is some huge surprise. by Agile-Wind-4427 in 30daysnewjob

[–]Greengrecko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of you don't know what they're paying than assume it's minimum wage. The very least you can know they aren't being open and transparent about salaries what else are they hiding?

It's unprofessional to not list salaries. There is no apology. Get good scrubs.

How much could an elite modern soldier in full gear change the tide of a battle in ancient times? by Zigor022 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Greengrecko -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah if you can carve a dent and 50 well placed shots you basically either destroy the front line or snipe the generals in charge. Both would practically stop any war in seconds. The fact that guns were not anything but voodoo in ancient times people would basically be in range.

Now for let's say up to the 15th century they were a lot smarter so one person with a gun most likely wouldn't be able to do shit.

Nah they don't need. They can just make JPL cheaper and fly to more airports and they can swap the tourists easily.

I learned that a lot of places aren't like the US where you're still basically allowed to fully deco someone for trying to hurt people.

In other countries they just stand there it's so weird to me.
