When my wife was getting her masters degree, her professor told her about it too lol. All of her professors pretty much used it. When I myself, tried to tell her about sci-hub and libgen, I was surprised that she was already well acquainted
What are you on about? Anything but OP’s question I guess, just going on tangents instead?
The article you linked is about corporate tax avoidance btw, which yes, absolutely effects everyone. Anything else you’d like to add to your ramblings?
Well that’s a left-field response. He’s not just employing friends and family, he’s also employing loyalists who’ve garnered favors from him (because of their loyalty). And it isn’t just a business, it’s a government
I would employ my family if I could, but I sure as hell wouldn’t choose them over qualified professionals, whether it’s a business or a government. I’m sure as shit not gonna have someone with no financial expertise running my accounting, no matter how much I love them.
Don’t make everything political and start stirring shit, we have enough of that right now
I’ve been written off as “absent-minded” (yet everyone seeks my advice for major life shit)
I feel this in my bones. My family has always labeled me as “aloof, absent-minded, head in the clouds”… and somehow always seem to forget that I’m the one that shows up or gets called when shit goes sideways
I’ve tried to accept that it’s just an “endearing” label from them, and they don’t actually believe I’m unreliable… because they still (individually) fall back on me whenever they need someone to come through. I’m an “aloof crisis hotline” I guess
Bummer (and/or ‘F’)
Well played
Hmm… I mix my sour cream back up. Honestly never really considered it before now
Huh, I didn’t know the Sears Tower was renamed to Willis. Though the Sears Tower never comes up in conversations for me, I’ll surely only ever know it as Sears. So yeah, that’s a great point you make
I can do it, but only with my left ankle! It’s almost like I’m sliding the tendon across the bone? making a really loud “popping” sound, over and over. I’ve been able to do it for as long as I can remember and it’s never hurt. Never met anyone else who could do it!
A lot of hospitals have them too
I like ‘Reddthat’; it’s smaller size makes it feel cozy and responsive to their community. I have accounts on multiple instances, but reddthat is what I’m using 95% of the time
Didn’t realize Tim Burton was behind Big Fish. I enjoyed it, but it kinda grew on me more than anything
Newb. You just hard-reboot
Same. I guess we were able to share it together though, so that’s something!
Impossible… that would break some fundamental law of physics or something
I have mine stop at 80%, but it’d be cool if it would still show that as being 100% … just to make my brain feel nicer about it
“Dubba-you” is my informal; “dubbya” if I’m throwing an exaggerated southern accent
I’m not sure I’ll ever truly recover what “telephone” means… it’s like a fleeting hazy picture, disappearing as I turn to look
Debt
How many survived? How big was this herd? That’s pretty insane, no matter how you cut it
