I always respond to this by saying "then go get your own mortgage." That shuts them up pretty quickly.

I understand that, you understand that, but it seems like people keep trying to tell us how residuals work like we are idiots. Streaming changed the industry and now the model for pay has to change, and not just tweaked here and there with new terms.

That dance fight video reminds me of some Zoolander shit and makes me more interested in the movie, not less. You, however, are an autist that does not understand humor and cannot form connections with actual human beings. You make up for those shortcomings by trying to be edgy and...

It is funny that this could all be solved by both sides agreeing that each work is separate, gets paid a set amount of money for set amount of work, and that nothing in that work can be reused without a new contract for the new work. But the greedy motherfuckers who run the studios want to be...

"Hrm, we already have pre-roll ads that make it AIDS to watch or switch streams....how can we make our platform more cumbersome to use and take longer to actually see content?" Sounds like a winning fucking strategy, these idiots.

He is most likely talking KmPH, not MPH. That is like 44MPH; still not great.

You are aware that the Yaun is still carefully managed to float with USD, right? So even if the Saudi's accept the Yuan for oil it is still trading in USD until China removes that float. Do you have any idea what would happen to the Yuan if they did remove that float? The day that happens do...

You are being the problem again. It doesn't matter how good you are at the job if you are the one that causes problems and drama every goddamn day of the week and has to remind everyone of how good you are. Your boss is already looking for your replacement because anyone "reminding" them of...

I have no pity for UPS or any other private company that is held at knifepoint by a private union. Why would any job at UPS require a union?

The best thing that could happen to this country is the diffusion of people in cities out to the suburbs to make more smaller towns viable.

More like ASTROnomically Great! Is that right? If not, then how about go fuck yourself!

The issue with eSports is that they are trying to make it too much like real sports. I have really enjoyed watching the LoL worlds for the last few years but I don't think you could make me cough up money to go see it in person because the players are just playing and I'm watching a screen...

I do impress myself sometimes.

I'm an Astros' fan, too!

I'm new to MLB shit talking...is that what you all do when there is no way to tell who is going to finish where because the season is so goddamn long?

This is an example of a perverse incentive and should be discouraged, not encouraged. These studios know approximately the worth of each of these people inside of a movie or show; they should have contracts that last a year (or season) and pay them a set amount for the time they work and then...

Xev needs this game to be good so that he can stream another game on Twitch that no one will watch him play.

I think Ryan Gosling is pretty good in movies but damn the deadpan way he talks through all that stuff makes me think this movie is going to be funny. Him playing the role as a *literal* accessory to Barbie sounds like he is going to get the best jokes and plotlines. I'm not going to see it...

My second baseman with laser arm and hover propulsion instead of legs was undefeated. Best upgrade because you would catch people stealing second and if it was close they would just fight my most upgraded team member. The secret was that the hover jump attack was OP.

Sure thing, Mist. Exactly what I would expect from someone losing an argument because of shitty takes. Next time maybe you can find someone that agrees with 90% of the dumb shit you say so you will feel like the "argument" is worth it.

But they have a ton of gold reserves so BRICS is coming for us!

No, we live in a society where keeping up with the Jones' makes everyone think that they need more to spend more and our public education is so terrible that they would rather try and get every kid eating free meals and talking about 'inclusivity' instead of teaching them life skills like...

You are looking at this from the lens of someone who views the people with money as somehow evil for taking almost all of the risk in these situations. We already have a class of software developers that get residuals for their code.... they are called fucking startups. Why don't software...

Do you know why I know that Twitch as a company are hypocritical POS's? I watch a few OG MTG streamers, two LoL TFT ones, an OG Binding of Isaac streamer, Lex Veldhius (poker), and a variety of smaller retro and speedrunners. No female streamers because they are just not very entertaining (or...

Ruffalo has Sound of Freedom on his mind when he makes these comments. His indie Trans-man-fleeing-red-state-for-abortion drama is not likely to garner the same grassroots groundswell. I would love for him and his ilk to all try it so we can watch them rage on Threads as they go broke...

I don't understand how the answer to this question is not "absolutely, YES." There are very few things I think would be better than increased energy, mobility, and will to just go do things.

This means the model needs to change just like for the restaurant model to grow they need to figure out something to replace tipping culture. It may have started out good for everyone but it has become a hinderance to real growth and change of those industries. I cannot wait to see the...

How much fucking worse could that be than The Marvels or The Flash? It sure as fuck would cost a fraction of those pieces of shit.

Just watched them both; there were some funny moments but they aren't some of the best. It is the continuation of a slightly above average series. I enjoy the characters and will keep watching.

It is very funny that the writers/actors pick now to strike...when theater attendance is rapidly declining and most people under 40 watch less than TV than since it was invented. Do you know what would help Hollywood? A salary CAP. Cannot pay huge stars more than xxx per movie. Remind them...

I know this sounds like the typical "well why don't the poor just BUY more money?" But I think teaching your kids that the easiest time to sock away money is when they first get a taste of real money at a job, are single, and can *literally* exist for a few bucks a day. I wish my parents had...

I forgot after all these years that the main story revolves around Ilithids. Fuck I want it to be good.

As if we needed more proof that Tiktok and the people who frequent it were unfunny and mentally retarded.

We have them at CostCo here in 2 picks for like $13. They are super sweet but awesome.

He doesn't seem detached and quirky enough to be Wonka. Both Wilder and Depp portrayed him as someone so disconnected from other people that neither one had any empathy. Maybe this movie will show him growing into that reclusive hermit, but the trailer showed Chalamet as the complete opposite.

Heck yes. We judge other people's houses all the time. Honestly, I think they were both inventory homes by the builder so the occupants never had a chance to choose.

I wish dude, they are finishing plumbing today and will most likely start prepping for decking next week. Weird true story, one of my uncles died on a 4 wheeler a decade ago doing some dumb shit like in that video. Going too fast, hit a bump, flipped over on him.

Ok, then document how you pick up the slack and who is not doing the job. You have to have some sort of metric. You don't show and tell him every time. You document it for a few months and then you ask for a meeting, prepare your ass off, and show him with metric data how you have benefitted the...

I put this out here in harsh terms because this is the place to do it. The truth is that 99% of the people on this board want the members to succeed. We want you to do well. The things I recommended you do are not going to be easy and your not going to nail it all the first time; just...
