    Company Raises It's Minimum Wage to $70,000 and All Hell Breaks Loose

    Guys, there have always been people who felt entitled to more than they were. There were always people who took advantage of whatever system it was they were a part of. There were always lazy people who are beyond help. And there always will be. And there will always be hard working people who...

    And this is why Libertarian politicians want to do away with collective bargaining and dissolve unions.

    Company Raises It's Minimum Wage to $70,000 and All Hell Breaks Loose

    That is true. The working class drives the economy, not the .01%ers. There are only so many cars/dinners/toilet paper you need to buy as a human being and being a multi millionaire doesn't change that fact.

    Company Raises It's Minimum Wage to $70,000 and All Hell Breaks Loose

    What makes you say this? When you add up all the "burger flippers" making "more than they are worth" it probably comes out pretty close. I don't really follow this whole more than you're worth idea. Look at what happens when you pay people the current minimum wage... they are forced into...

    Mr. Robot

    This show was starting to lose me because it felt like it was going off the rails way too fast. The twist at the end of this week's episode has me interested again. I just hope it doesn't turn into some LOST levels of retardation down the line.

    They definitely do notice the same patterns. I talk to women about this all the time. It's not very different at all. For instance, a lot of women like to lie about their weight. Men don't do that so much, instead they lie about their height. Women put up a front about how laid back they are...

    Weren't you the guy who used to come into this thread every once in a while and pretend like anyone who used a dating site was a worthless cretin who couldn't get dates "the real way"?

    Eh... Limbo scrolls? Cool, they'll never drop because Gaz is full of shit 63 packs of Eternity Splinter and double chances for 10 drop packs? Double 0% is still 0% Hero tokens dropping? How many people have found hero tokens in Cosmic MM? 3? Everything else seems decent and hopefully the...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    People actually refactor code that doesn't need functionality or versioning changes? What a colossal waste of time. Does the business you work for not have any real work that needs to be done?

    Company Raises It's Minimum Wage to $70,000 and All Hell Breaks Loose

    If a business can't afford to pay its employees a livable wage that business probably isn't serving an important, or very needed function. Or it's run like shit.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    What is this RP insinuation? We have been dating for 6 weeks, long enough that a vague "Something came up" is not a good enough reason to cancel a date. I am too old to have to deal with BS games like that. She even admitted she was trying to see how I would react. It's ridiculous. There is...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Sounds like the only thing stopping you from leaving is the uncertainty regarding your son. As in, if you don't get full custody you're afraid he'll be neglected at the least during the time she has him. And I have no advice for that.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Got the old "Hey sorry to cancel last minute but something came up and I won't be able to make it tonight" from the woman I've been dating the last month and a half or so. Responded by telling her she may as well be honest instead of vague and mysterious, she's lost interest. She then said she...

    Well Elysian is on the shit list now. Was at the Belgium Comes to Cooperstown fest at Ommegang this past weekend and they were supposed to be there with a few beers I wanted to try and they just didn't show up. They never gave Ommegang a head's up either, just were complete no shows.

    True Detective

    That whole Caspere fucking his own daughter thing was a bit silly. Like they felt they needed an homage to Oedipus but with a father and daughter instead of mother and son. I liked a lot of the season but also didn't like a lot of it as well. The scene with Frank and red where he was trying to...

    Company Raises It's Minimum Wage to $70,000 and All Hell Breaks Loose

    There's also evidence and studies saying that increase in pay correlates to increase in happiness up to about ~70k/year. Apparently it's at about that level of pay where the burdens and stresses associated with not having enough money to feel like you're keeping your head above water are gone...

    Weight Loss Thread

    So he lost weight and the risks associated with obesity (> 24% is considered obese) went away but instead of believing it had to do with the weight loss he thought it was because of fasting? Like that shit wouldn't have improved if he lost weight without fasting?

    I think you're missing the point of my post. Of course people do it, but it fucking sucks. NOBODY on earth likes commuting into NYC from a suburb. Well, maybe sadists do. Like Sterling said, they do it because they have to or think an inflated salary for a few years in NYC will help them make...

    You could also try to find a credit card that offers 0% on balance transfers for up to a year, I think Chase even offered one that was 0% for 18 months for a while. Chase Slate maybe? Can't remember now.

    I guess nobody here saw Interstellar. It's more of a premonition than a movie really. Who needs agriculture when you have space travel and can crack quantum theory?

    Try commuting into NYC from a suburb. Even getting to Midtown from fucking Brooklyn is a pain in the ass. You do NOT want to work in NYC unless you live there, trust me. I did the commute thing for almost 2 years. It was hell on earth.

    So I used to play LoL and still watch it and never really got into DoTA or DoTA 2, this is the first International I've ever watched. But shit, everything about TI is so much better than any LoL tourneys including Worlds. It's so much more polished and professional on the casting and interview...

    Ambien is great for sleeping. Terrible for trying to wake up. I would be hazy for at least an hour after waking up after taking only 5mg of it the night before.

    True Detective

    Because the acting was so good things like that were secondary. VV's parts were painful to watch, bordering on downright embarrassing for the first 4-5 episodes that the story flaws were far more apparent. Last 2 episodes, especially ep 7 were great though.

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    Man I don't even use water when I clean mine. Just wipe it out after cooking with some paper towels then do one last rub down with a barely damp cloth (alright so a tiny bit of water). If anything is stuck on I use a nylon brush. Am I doing it wrong?

    People don't live alone in NYC, you can't do it unless you make 100k+ in almost every part of NYC, even less desirable areas (outside of the real ghetto areas). Upper East Side is like $2600/mo for a 600 sq ft, 1 bedroom apt.
