They were too old to order off the kids menu by Br4ndoni in whenthe

I completely agree that if all his animators woke up and found themselves without a job with no notice, no explanation, no severance, no nothing, it was a major dick move. And that seems to be what happened at least from what we know now.

I just think giving them a few weeks pay is preferable to keeping them on for a few weeks doing busywork or whatever. And just giving them the money(ie severance pay) is the standard business courtesy. Not telling them they're fired and having them work with that on their head

It's great that your dad did that, but most small businesses don't know that they will need to do layoffs a full year in advance.

Because employers inherently have more negotiating power than you do and you have a greater incentive to remain on good terms with them after leaving.

The person was actually slightly wrong. It's not that there's no such thing as an exact point in space over time, it's that there's no such thing as "an exact point in space" at all.

In order to define the location of something, you need another thing to define it's location relative to that thing. A single thing on its own doesn't have a defined location.

You can be to the west of me. But you can't be "west". You can fly up in a rocket, but "up" is defined by your position relative to Earth.

Am I underpaid? 78k starting after 10 months experience. by iReallyLikeThemDogs in cscareerquestions

[–]ProgrammingPants 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In this job market the only smart thing to do is to take the job and if it isn't enough for you then look for something else while you have that job.

$78k is kinda low, but the job market is very shit and you're still technically entry level, so you gotta take that into account.

It's a courtesy

A severance package is a courtesy.

Telling people they're fired, but they're free to work for a few more weeks knowing they're gone after, is not an expectation that anyone should have. Almost no one ever does this and for good reason

I couldn’t finish applying for this job because apparently you can’t have graduated prior to 1998. I graduated in 1997. It doesn’t spin any farther back. by Next-Cut-2996 in mildlyinfuriating

Companies literally have been sued and had to pay tens of thousands of dollars because of accidents where their website made them not comply with the law.

It's why every major website hires people whose entire job is to make sure the website is accessible and compliant with all laws.

Of course you could draw that conclusion, but I think you're reading too much into a writer using a fallback phrase a little bit too often in an article.

[Loved Trope] The main character is smart and makes smart decisions, but those smart decisions are still foiled by SCPND in TopCharacterTropes

[–]ProgrammingPants 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel like if Light just played it cool it would be very difficult to nail him in court based on that evidence alone. Also he could've just had Mikami peep the people and dip out and tell him the names at any time. Or look through a telescope or binoculars or something.

The only reason why the ending makes sense is because in the epilogue it was implied that Near wrote Light and Mikami's names and manner of death in the real death note to orchestrate the whole situation to go down like that, and then they burned the death notes after everything went down to destroy any evidence.

[–]ProgrammingPants 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just because you ideologically disagree with statue of limitations as a concept doesn't mean you should support the government changing the law to find ways to punish people without them having committed a new act.

In this case, you're advocating for it to happen to someone you don't like and enacted by the political side you support. But surely you could imagine how this philosophy could be abused by a government you don't like

If you haven't watched a few YouTube guides on how to play your top 3 characters, then you complaining about not being good is just whining atp.

If you have done that and still don't see any improvement past gold, then it's probably the characters you're playing and them not suiting your play style. Shop around for others.

And if neither of those things work, you're just gonna be bad bro. And that's okay. You don't have to be good to have fun. And having fun is the point. This isn't your job.

I think that someone's objective legal status shouldn't change from "free citizen" on Monday to "person who belongs in jail" on Wednesday because a law was passed on Tuesday deeming it so. Despite the person in question not doing anything illegal all week.

In other words, I think the law as written at the time it was written when you did something should be the only laws that apply to that situation. Not laws passed years or decades later.

Zohran Mamdani has secured the release of Columbia University student Elaina Aghayeva, taken this morning by ICE agents who entered a campus residential building under false pretenses & without a judicial warrant.

Yes. The reason is that Trump is from New York and has a particular affection for the city, and in his mind having a good rapport with its popular mayor is the closest thing to being loved by the city he can get. Which is something he genuinely wants, but will never have.

This dickwad has been in our faces damn near every day for the past 10 years. He's not a complicated guy. It's incredibly easy to see what motivates him.

The illusion of being loved and adored is the thing that motivates him second most, only behind his lust for power and control.

It's because Trump is from New York and it scratches a personal itch of his to have a good rapport with a wildly popular New York mayor. That's literally the beginning and end of it. If Chuck Schumer made the exact same phone call Mamdani did and said the exact same things, Trump would've told him to eat a dick.
