What’s the difference between a million dollars and a billion dollars?
Answer: roughly a billion dollars.
Being a million-dollar company means nothing against a company where a million dollars can count as little more than a rounding error.

If you ask, they’ll tell you it’s different for ‘essential services’. It’s the same excuse they use for the farm handouts.

More like incredibly aggressive. They are a type of algae after all. If you don’t keep a firm leash on them they’ll reproduce enough to drain all the oxygen and nutrients from an enclosed system like an aquarium.
Plant tribbles, if you will.

For most of them, it’s because they truly, deeply believe that if they don’t convert you, you’re going to burn in hell for eternity when you die.
For most of the leaders of those sorts of churches, it’s because more people means more money for that new private jet they’re saving up for.

Does it make sense to nitpick how much they’re getting though? The fact that they’re being denied any bonus is shady as fuck.

Nothing sinister at all. It has a long and proven track record. Which you can check out if you don’t want to be low-info anymore. Doctors and dentists support it.
But there’s a subset of people who want us to go back to disease-ridden serfs, because when your teeth are falling out and 3 out of your 5 kids died young from disease and you can barely make rent, you’re too distracted to care what other people are doing.

There’s only pros. It’s proven to prevent cavities in children and adults, much better than brushing alone.
There’s also the sad fact that not every kid is taught to—or sometimes allowed to—brush their teeth.

- Comment on The joy of quitting a shit job with an asshole boss 2 months ago:
OTOH, if this is in the US, we are almost entirely at-will when it comes to employment; we can be terminated at any time, for something as petty as the boss not liking our socks, no heads-up required.
Here the two weeks notice is considered a courtesy, and sadly fewer and fewer businesses are proving worthy of that courtesy. It seems from the post title that this company did not deserve much respect at all.

Keep in mind too that they’re not always accurate. I know of one in my city that regularly takes photos of people going through on the green because it’s a bit of a wonky intersection. And that means a person gets to spend their day in court instead of at work fighting a ticket they did not deserve.

Honestly not sure. Haven’t been to an arcade in years.
I should go to one again.
- Comment on Sega's Altered Beast Gets A Free Fan-Made Remake | Time Extension 3 months ago:
That was by design, actually. A lot of the old arcade games were like that.
It was to get people to either quit after a bit of playing so a new person could step in and give the machine money, or have the person who lost at the hard level put more money in.
Otherwise at just a quarter the machines become unprofitable. Just capitalism things.
- Comment on Most Americans see Trump as "dangerous dictator," poll says 3 months ago:
52-56%, in case anyone didn’t want to read the article.
I’d call that ‘barely more than half’, myself. Almost 50% of Americans still think this cretin is doing great. In fact, according to the article, 80% of republicans still love him, and 51% of white Americans think he ‘should be given all the power he needs to restore America’s greatness’.
Of course, 70% think his concentration camps are a bad idea, so there’s that, I guess.
- Comment on Only people with money don't understand that being morally just while poor means your threading a needle through a litany of only bad choices. 3 months ago:
? Pretty sure that’s not what they said.
They said that there are people on Lemmy who think a person who stabs someone vs a person who doesn’t are morally equivalent—as long as they’re both poor.
Very different.
They did also say that there are poor people who stab others and blame their actions on being poor, but that was tangential to their main point about judging the morals of a person solely based on their wealth or lack thereof.

- Comment on Paradox Interactive's return-to-office policy may be driving employees away from the studio 3 months ago:
This is intentional. They are doing this to force people to quit without firing them.
As a bonus, the people who leave tend to be the most skilled, and thus the highest paid, making their bottom line look even better!
Of course this also destroys morale, productivity, and long-term will probably tank the company, but as long as line go up now for shareholders/owners the ones at the top don’t care. After all, they’ll just walk away with their golden parachutes guaranteeing a safe landing.
