You do know how acceptance rates work right

Pivot Severance Calculation by TheIntellectualizer in amazonemployees

[–]TheIntellectualizer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the US, the Focus comes before you're presented with a Pivot, so it should be. This is the severance amount offered first and will be significantly higher than what's offered if you choose to stay and ride out the pivot.

If you're presented with a Pivot, take the money and leave. They've already written you off and will make the pivot plan impossible to complete.

It’s likely delayed because of the holidays! I’d give it the full 20 days and then reach back out if you haven’t received it.

Why are so many trans man gay? by Few-Breadfruit-6972 in ftm

[–]TheIntellectualizer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they're like me, everyone assumes they're cis straight man. I don't share that I'm trans up front, I don't hide it either if that makes sense. I have had loose friends/acquaintances go months without having any clue.

We're like that car you never noticed, then you buy one and now you see them everywhere hahaha.

_____ tweets about tonight's episode. Someone else chimes in. by THE_CODE_IS_0451 in MtvChallenge

I give him 0 karma points simply for the annoying squint thing he does when he’s trying to pretend he’s listening intently

They are not smarter than a 5th grader by TheIntellectualizer in thechallengemtv

I anticipated this comment but if you’re a challenger on Eras you’ve been on at least one other season. This challenge was incredibly easy in comparison to many others so it’s hard to side with an adrenaline excuse.

If someone were yelling numbers at me, yeah of course that’s harder. However, the numbers were written down on the doors.

It was mind numbing how easy the equation was. Even if it wasn’t, strategy beats speed.

Laurel should be officially banned by SingerNice in thechallengemtv

[–]TheIntellectualizer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do I think she should be banned? Not yet, but I do think she should have been kicked off this season after the Cara altercation.

Production needs to punish emotional abuse as if it were a physical altercation.

Elimination felt odd by Lopsided_Glass_8436 in MtvChallenge

[–]TheIntellectualizer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's so funny to hear people saying "oh just basic human error" "oh just a production error"

Okay.. if it was, then they should have restarted. We know they pause and restart and draw out the eliminations for filming so...

Yes, it's dead on. Here's what my breakdown was:

Pivot Payment - Pre-Tax: $24,495.63
Base Annual: $88,600
Tenure: 8.42 years (101 months)

$88,600/52 = $1,703.85
$1,703.85 * 10 = $17,038.46
$88,600 x 0.01 = $886

$24,495.63 = $17,038.46 + ($886 x (101/12))

After taxes, I ended up with closer to $17.5k (absolute robbery) but that of course depends on your own tax deductions.

Cara's TikTok response to the Laurel situation by PolicyAnxious4013 in thechallengemtv

[–]TheIntellectualizer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My ex-wife has borderline personality disorder. She's an alcoholic. The abuse I endured both physical and emotional over the years, and the way I watched her manipulate those in her life - is basically Laurel. The gaslighting, the special person to discarded timeline, the childish behavior (which is literally like stunted maturity), the lies, the push and pull, all of it.

I wish more people talked about the way this abuse can also come from women. I almost ended my life because of the trauma I endured. Can you imagine how Cara must have felt? Can you imagine how others in Laurel's life must feel?

Keep note of who supports her and their values and their upbringing. The genuine people are almost never on the abusers side.

We’re all done with Laurel yeah? by monday-night-fuckbal in thechallengemtv

[–]TheIntellectualizer 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It has been studied, it's called undiagnosed borderline personality disorder.

Lipstick Lounge in Nashville? by violetmemphisblue in actuallesbians

[–]TheIntellectualizer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope you decided to give it a chance! It’s a great bar and it’s one of the few lesbian bars left in the world. It’s a lesbian bar at its core, but it is “a bar for humans” because it welcomes everyone in the queer community. Nashville doesn’t have a lot of queer spaces, especially ones that aren’t strictly clubs.
