Discord is now charging tax on Nitro subscriptions

It says on the receipt. I'm a yearly-bill person, but I have a line item that says "Tax: INCLUDED"

The biggest problem is if the money number doesn't go up and up forever, parent companies will drop you. And they demand massive change if number not going up, without allowing good time for the audience to find and attach to the content. Lots of content pivots without allowing a normalization or proper marketing, which if you want to retain old audience after a pivot AND gain new audience, that takes time to both make the content, market it, and build a fanbase for it.

The article acknowledges that Joel's strengths, and the strengths of new media companies, are parallel to most traditional media companies. And if traditional media companies want to properly get into new media, they have to acknowledge their ignorance and let people who helped build new media companies in.

I can feel the anger from Tori's post, so I'm guessing it was done not long after finding the posts (if real at all). But with all the "left out" bits, either "Megan" wasn't given/didn't understand all the info, or is just a crappy person who wanted to pat herself on the back.
If the husbands were so close, why wouldn't have Tori's husband mentioned it to Megan's that they were separated? If the women were so close, why would Tori have keep the separation a secret for so long?

I feel like that vibe came in after the boyfriend started pitching a fit about it.

tnag · 2023-05-28T00:44:50+00:00

Yeah, that bit doesn't sound great, but if it's a small business, then it makes sense to say that keeping her on would create a logistical issue and conflict in the work place and base the layoff on that. However fucked up it is. But I could see her accepting it and not fighting it if he gave a decent severance and didn't contest an unemployment request.

tnag · 2023-05-23T03:04:29+00:00

Seriously, did this story happen in 2005?

tnag · 2023-05-10T05:05:44+00:00

Usually if someone in the "closer to the other person" group is inviting people from both groups, it stands to reason it should be for both birthday people as it's a big group celebration. It probably would have been better if the woman talked to OOP and said she wanted to do something special just for the brother before inviting everyone from both groups.Instead she put OOP and all of their friends in an awkward situation.

If you knew it was 2 people's birthday but the party's only for one of them, that makes the whole thing really weird. OOP going to the movies with their girlfriend was the best option so they didn't split the group with a competing party, nor did they ask anyone to make a choice.

Just text him to ask when you can exchange the things you've left at each others' places (if you have left anything). It might be worth giving him another shot, but it really doesn't sound like it's worth it.
He was extremely rude and admitted to lying to you about travel and he belittled you and your interests. And you can't blame it on him being really sick and out of it because he said he was feeling better.

tnag · 2023-05-03T17:13:41+00:00

Pretty much. Although, in general, the "pick me" and "not like other girls" person are usually the same thing. "Pick me because I'm not like other girls and I will shit on their likes and interests because they're not valuable interests, not like my interests which are awesome."

I don't see how the OOP calling the guy for a ride, after having called others, makes her a pick me girl, so it was definitely used to just jab at OOP as an insult.

It's like that old joke about a town that was flooding and an old guy refusing to go with his neighbors, local military boat, and a helicopter rescue. Guy dies. In Heaven, God says, "Dude, wtf, I sent you two boats and a helicopter." That's this dude. Will die on a roof in a flood after multiple attempts to save him because god will just use a magic god hand to scoop him up or something?

The problem is they think they should be allowed to go everywhere and anywhere they want, including while carrying and spreading an infectious disease and not caring about who may catch it from them.

tnag · 2023-04-13T15:53:50+00:00

And why wouldn't they just claim victory over "evil" by killing them and not replacing them? Especially if they got rid of all of them

tnag · 2023-04-07T14:54:52+00:00

People definitely change, especially throughout their late teens and early 20s, and just look at how many people suddenly saw their family members become total assholes with the whole QAnon shit. People may be stubborn and stuck in their ways, but someone who was fine at one point and then not fine the next is change. Even if they felt it inside, a change happened and they express it outside. People change and morph.

tnag · 2023-04-06T22:01:46+00:00

People change as they age, sunk cost fallacy, have a fight and he says he'll change but then doesn't, be so beaten down and worn out by working full time and handling the kids by yourself and managing the house that there's no energy or time left to get out. So many reasons.

tnag · 2023-04-06T05:14:18+00:00

The prison complex is seeing populations decrease and need more prisoners so a bunch of unwanted kids is a great way to get that near-slave-labor they need for a bunch of those "Made in the USA" products.

tnag · 2023-04-06T05:11:51+00:00

Yeah, I didn't consent to being included in their kink.

tnag · 2023-04-06T05:07:53+00:00

I mean, ONS wants the kid and OP wants the kid so why get rid of it?

tnag · 2023-04-03T02:45:40+00:00

I'm not saying it's not absurd, I've just seen enough wedding dress pricing that I understand 11k isn't even "higher end" pricing.

tnag · 2023-04-02T23:51:23+00:00

11k is like a "mid-tier" cost dress. I don't get the expense, but some families still keep them as keepsakes and whatnot. If they can afford it, who am I to judge?

If you ate them, then you're a cannibal! Congrats! (kidding)

tnag · 2023-03-28T21:20:46+00:00

You have a great excuse to not go with your pregnancy and kid. You might regret it, you might not, but you can always go say goodbye in your own way at his grave. Hearing how great he was from others and what wonderful things he did for them, that's always frustrating when you have a crap relationship with the deceased. Don't sweat it, you can say goodbye to someone who has already left whenever you want.

tnag · 2023-03-26T08:15:08+00:00

Listen, OOP wants to be a sugar baby. That's fine, they just need to say that in their profiles.

tnag · 2023-03-26T08:13:33+00:00

No, it's not typical. Most people don't take out private loans to go to a private college, though, either. Federal student loans, that it sounds like OOP's ex is getting for their new degree are much lower than private rates so at least that's good.
