Or c, keep just enough office space to create rolling “layoffs” as people are asked to return to the office.

Continued notification game eh? Take the 1

And your father smells even more of elderberries in the morning than the evening

Truthfully, I realized all of this, including the specific countries someone might choose, and giggled at my coming retort as I wrote the comment. Get baited, nerd.

I said “at random” for a reason. The likelihood of choosing all three of the least preparable nations is 1/1000. I don’t believe you chose randomly, and therefore would like to indicate that your mother is a hamster and your father smells of elderberries.

Chronic trend/clout chasing reminds me of Victorian era esoteric fashion rules. Everyone wants to be part of [thing]

The average internet person knows nothing. Myself included.

Against the US? No. Unequivocally not happening, no. Against just Russia? Pick three EU nations at random and their combined might would exceed Russia’s with only moderate effort. The EU has been fairly lackadaisical about putting in the effort, which is the main obstacle.

They’re a stepping stone more than a gimmick. I only have so much room in my pocket and a tablet doesn’t fit. Using a shoulder bag rather than the pocket sewn into the clothing I’m wearing is less ergonomic. When designers finally begin accepting my suggestion of shirts with built-in totes, we’ll no longer require foldables

Took me a minute. Chloroform, for any other dumbys

Total revenue per year is 420 million.

Concessions and cleaning staff typically make 35k-40k. Zookeepers ~50k.

These 5 employees. Amount to .8% of the yearly operating budget, while the sum of all other employees totals up to 10% of the 400 million dollar operating budget.

I’m not making any judgements, just offering the numbers.

Apparently their politicians are all part of a small subset of people with close, personal connections and the Korean people have been pissed off about it for decades. And every leader of the last 40 years has been prosecuted, jailed, or killed themselves. Except one fella

Whoever they are, they maintained the bit for a decade- an impressive feat. Their account has been dead for a few years. Hope they came to lemmy

Shit’s definitely going down in South Korea, but I don’t browse South Korean news frequently enough to be able to ascertain how fucked the situation is. It is, at least, 6/10 from my untrained eye. The leader of their country is using the military and police to prevent their equivalent to senators from voting

Mechanical Turks are my favorite trope of the 2020s.

As someone who essentially uses their mouth as a shoe, I feel your pain. Bright side, you won’t receive any more garbage of that specific variety!

Funko pops are the modern lawn flamingo or garden gnome. They’re tainted things, too corporate to be kitschy, and far too uninteresting to be worth calling a knickknack. I instantly judge anyone who owns one for their future contribution to a far-off landfill.

I understand that, but I’m asking whether a .ml domain was chosen as a quirky little reference to communism? Like, I can start selling contacts on contacts.contact. I’m curious about the intent

So .ml isn’t an intentional reference to communism?
