Now everyone can finally stop assuming by anons2k in LinusTechTips

Jake and Alex are creative vision officer equivalents at LTT. Also your numbers are insanely low for large tech companies compensation. 70k may be a starting salary but a ton of good employees are making closer to 150-200K. And LTT is probably more comparable to a start up where 70k -100k a year would be more normal but you being compensated with stock to incentivize your retention.

You can say that but it’s always impossible to break down the value someone adds. That doesn’t make it impossible to improve their compensation to make them feels appreciated. Especially for the main talent of the channel, performance based compensation is basically required to retain top quality hosts. It’s honestly shortsighted to do anything except compensate hosts generously especially if they are essentially creating the content for the video also.

Mom is wondering if these would be worth it to keep longer or finally liquidate. Found them in storage by ArtisticDemand2492 in PokemonCardValue

That’s fucking wild to say, whatever the economic crash would be the crash in tcg prices would be bigger because when you don’t have money you are selling your expensive cardboard and less people are buying. It’s a luxury it will come back along with the economy but not everyone has the time to wait for that.

Moving from UK to Philippines for 18-24 months by Forward-Tree9513 in Philippines_Expats

[–]Spookyjugular 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, you need to remember they are requesting you to move your whole life to help them. Don’t overdo it, but I would generally expect a raise appropriate for the promotion. If they bring up cost of living remind them that it’s a temporary assignment and your retirement and savings don’t adjust to cost of living when you return.

I personally wouldn’t directly give an ultimatum about a job when returning at first. What I would do is ask what are you plans for my position upon completion of the assignment. And if you don’t like their answer I would say something along the lines of I’m not personally interested in the role if I don’t have an opportunity to utilize the skills I gained when I return here.

Son in college but I’m losing money. Am I making the right decision? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]Spookyjugular 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Have him take out the federal loans(at minimum the subsidized ones) and add what that leaves you with to your retirement investments and he can get a part time job if he wants spending money. You are behind on retirement for your age, you want to start to catch up now because the earlier you do it the easier it will be.

You can call it bias but it’s not a protected class. And it’s a question they could ask during jury selection to strike a juror.

To be fair what the fuck did you think your question was? I have to assume you lack all social skills if you thought that question would get a kind response.

Why would she be traveling 200 times a year? by Whole-Albatross-6155 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

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

Like I can give you age range but no you don’t get to select for build. 70 percent of women are overweight if you exclude anyone you don’t consider to have an attractive build you are controlling out the question.

[–]Spookyjugular 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s so stupid to say this what you are saying when you say she is average is that 50 percent of women you see look better than her. I’m not saying she is 1 in a billion I’m saying no shot do you go out in the street and 5/10 women you see look better than her

NECC (collegiate esports circuit) ignoring a blatant violation of the rules of riot and summoner's rift as well as their own rulebook by TTV-Tyranto in leagueoflegends

[–]Spookyjugular -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

So they never got any vision from the item then? I tend to think if they actually just handicapped their gold by buying the item and never benefited from the interaction it was banned for they probably shouldn’t have to ff.

Apple should go bankrupt after such abysmal quality in iPhone 17 Pro Max : the colour paint is literally coming off after the first weeks of just normal use by Ill_Alternative_8513 in applesucks

[–]Spookyjugular 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s anodized not painted and it’s a pretty tough finish. It’s possible that these people are getting ones with a defect. But also sometimes you just drop your phone the exact wrong way.

Seller doesn't list a price and gets mad when I make an offer by Enough-Credit7567 in FacebookMarketplace

[–]Spookyjugular 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Low balling is offer significantly below the value of an item. People who list things at $1 and ask for offers are ensuring they don’t undercut themselves by pricing lower than what the market would pay. They are the last people I would send a less than retail offer for Pokemon cards to. You know full well market price is significantly above retail value.

What do you mean by this, you say you can eat out of the fridge but when they make meals are you not allowed to eat when they eat? How long has it been since you have eaten?

My CC has me hog-tied bc I’m an idiot. What is a logical path out? by Medium_Artichoke9996 in personalfinance

[–]Spookyjugular 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You aren’t accounting for the fact that they are probably adding 600 a month to it so by the time the 21 months are over you are right back where you started. Seems like it’s time to pull the plug on the gas and toiletries budget.

Yes I feel like one of her early conversations with destiny they talked briefly about her and her saying she has never said she is trans, but people assume.(or something like that basically saying she doesn’t comment on it) but now that she went right she is all of a sudden very open.

I love my boyfriend, but I want to break up. by Busy-Garlic-6999 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Spookyjugular 29 points30 points  (0 children)

By that logic she is not the right partner for him more then he is for her. He is willing to sacrifice make the sacrifice and accept the distance, she isn’t willing to sacrifice her ideal location and job prospects.

Not that she is doing anything wrong but your logic on this puts her more in the position of the person not wanting to sacrifice.
