Good point. Yeah, when you start looking for it Kramer is just as bad as the rest. So I guess Newman is the good guy? I think I’m too sober for this train of thought now.

Thanks, appreciate it.

I used to think Kramer was harmless and happy. Then I had a longtime friend who was very similar. Charismatic, fun to hang out with, and manipulative and disorganized as hell. Drama, always needing things, and causing issues. Didn’t think Kramer was that nice after, and throughout the show you see him mooching off of Jerry.

Yes, sorry, used the wrong word, was doing accounting while writing. I meant that an average person looks at the Sunny characters and doesn’t think they want to be them, where as I’d argue only George (and maybe Kramer) were that in Seinfeld.

Chaotic Evil. Always Sunny is Seinfeld without trying to make the characters likeable, which as a huge Seinfeld fan, I felt was the biggest detriment to the show, and probably done so Jerry Seinfeld felt better acting in it as himself. What with being a groomer and all.

Do they have hobbies/beliefs/sycophantic mannerisms similar to the bosses in charge? Because that’ll get you promoted. A lot of management are lonely people who don’t view others as equals unless they suck up or never argue, thus useless people get promoted so they can hang with “friends” in meetings all day.

Or good old nepotism.

I always feel that good pineapple, well caramelized, can be good on pizza. The problem is the majority of pizza places don’t properly caramelize it, thus why most people never have a chance to try it well made, and thus the strong feelings against it.

At least that’s why I dont usually grab Hawaiian pizza.

I can speak to this (Canadian, we have Thanksgiving in October, i get high because parts of my family are hard right Conservatives): If I get stoned for dinner (after preparing dinner), I don’t feel like shit when people rag on the food or bring up trash political takes. Being high makes me calmer.

Also I don’t care if people know I’m high, so that helps.

If I do stay sober, I have to hear how minorities are ruining the country and be accused of poisoning people by not making a healthy meal… which makes me anxious.

Final Fantasy 6, because I have played through it on SNES, PS1, Rom, then SNES again… oh, and there’s 500 hours in Slay The Spire. Maybe also Civ 3.

Be safe out there. Not here, I’ve yet to see snow in Ontario, but I think Alberta’s getting it hard.

I’d consult a doctor… if you can still move.

How to make young men angrier? Tell them a healthy amount of maturation (7 to 21 times a month according to Google but usually just when you feel like it is fine) is unhealthy and to stop for a month. No air November up next!

Good catch, thanks, updated

Step 1: Be rich enough to afford all the exercise / healthy living.

Step 2: have a job that has a positive loop to said attractive looks

Totally fair points. Probably next to impossible. Wish I could find those articles, but oh well. I just don’t see this being good for future hiring at Meta at the end of the day.

100% agree on your first point.

I would caution your second point. A few years ago, news articles pointed out Meta had to pay people more compared to other similar companies due to people not wanting to work there. Sadly Google search isn’t showing me those older articles.

A few websites are saying Meta’s average median pay is 379k (Zuckerberg takes a $1 so he isn’t driving that number) vs Google at $315k vs Microsoft $193k vs Nvidia 267k. That’s a lot of difference. So running a company like a pedant has a real dollar difference, especially for workers who can demand it. Meta lost a lot of money on the Metaverse and they are spending to catch up AI, meaning they already have to be competitive for employees compared to other companies. Add in the perks are a trap to get fired, and your costs just keep going up. Perks are typically offered in lieu of higher costs and in this case incentive people to work longer in an office. Now they leave for food or go home and you have lost those benefits.

I agree, this stinks of petty gotcha, which is why i dont think its a good idea, as remaining employees with devalue those perks and stop working for Meta as a result.

And yes, these are perks above all else, but remember Meta created these incentives to keep people in the office longer without having to pay them (a lot) more. A few people abusing it in order to ensure the majority of workers stay nights and weekends (at small satellite offices) is a small price. Now? “Hey, worker X, staying late tonight?” “No, going home to eat, don’t want to make a mistake on ordering Uber Eats and get fired” means you don’t get 5-40 hours per week extra time from that worker X. And you already paid for the vouchers, so you don’t save money. Also other workers won’t stay because more people leave.

Granted we are talking Mark Z here, so eating food is probably too alien for him to understand.

Oh, it’s terrible. The entire policy is Bananas. And you can’t pool funds? So if it is 3 people, $75 worth of pizza will feed them for a long time. But they got fired for pooling them.

How much time were the Accountants spending verifying this? Or did workers just receive vouchers? If a handful of people were abusing it, how did they notice? No refunds on vouchers, so you’d assume an amount of late nights and then refill as needed. It was already budgeted, so it’s a sunk cost.

Also in some places I’ve worked, $25 after the delivery costs isn’t that much food either. I’d be ignoring that perk forever if I still worked there, too much red tape.

I’m reminded of a video from Gary Vee where he had a small moment of reality: Some guy was complaining his employee quit 3 weeks after starting because they were all lazy. Also note it was always his only employee.

Gary asks him how much they paid the employee (min wage) and if he demanded they work over 40 hours (yes and no ot), then pointed out the guy was walking home with all the money and expecting someone to work hard with no return.

The entire audience was confused. Now they are in these comments.
