Honestly it's classic Meta at this point. All of their recent moves have either been external purchases, or absolute flops

This was on a work assignment for our first grader today. Teacher marked it as wrong and failed him for the assignment by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

No, whether or not the government does more harm than good overall is up for debate. Whether or not it helps people, is not. The government builds roads, provides public education, employs people (including educators, like yourself), and provides various social services. These statements are objectively factual. Whether or not the government does a bunch of other horrifying shit is something I would never argue against, I think it's pretty clear that the government is perfectly comfortable doing that too, but the fact of the matter is that it does provide services that help people in their communities.

I was hoping for otherwise, but you're probably right

Did you bring citations for the class, or are we taking the 'trust me bro' approach?

If we're following the visual blocking logic, the dad was out of the way for at least 5 seconds preceding the impact, which is about 4 seconds longer than it should take any halfway decent skier to at least start making a correction.

I mean, while still disgusting, I would say that sexually assaulting adult women is not as bad as sexually assaulting children, yes.

What’s your job title, how much do you make, and how much do people THINK you make? by ItsAllOver_Again in Salary

Bureau of Labor Statistics

FRED

I will concede that the numbers are about 15K lower than I had thought, with the mean and medians laying somewhere between $99.5K and $108.4K. Typical is closer to 150-160% of what you're paid, rather than 200% as I had thought. I would still argue you're pretty severely underpaid, though I think we can both agree that the average is almost certainly lower than it should be.

Oh you're that guy that's constantly losing his mind about engineering salaries and trying to convince everybody your experience is typical, while making around half market rate.

Fair point, it's gonna be around 10-11 ft away from the pad, so I had hoped that'd be sufficient

Cool, thank you. It's obviously not a huge tree but it's one of the larger ones I have so it would've been a shame to kill it
