    Good try, but we all know you don't get the best shave from an electric shaver.

    Who the fuck is confusing the lighter PORT with an ashtray? Seriously, that person shouldn't be allowed in a driver seat. Confusing a coin/change department with ashtray makes sense, but a fucking IQ of 60 knows better.

    Wow, you got pwned. Always best when they think they're correcting someone else.

    Wtf? The average age at these big silicon valley places hover around 28.

    36 work day? Mental issue red flag. I was first believing you meant 16 hour work day, which is possible. My opinion is that people who continually work long hours outside of specific deadlines are incompetent and over their head for their job.

    I've never seen an age disparity like this that wasn't creepy as fuck.

    Not all old people are equal. One guy in his 60's I worked with would talk and talk and talk and wouldn't take the hint I was busy working. He wasn't fast, but he was thorough, reliable, knew his job, and eagerly helped out where he could. I would rate him a good employee for the long run. However, his back and knees were always hurting. He barely complained, but it's hard to ask someone to do various work and watch them in pain. Another experienced developer in his 60's would take half a dozen pipe smoke breaks in an afternoon. There's virtually no productivity from him. I remember he was assigned a bug to fix in arp/bridge code. The problem was well identified and the pseudo solution told to him. He took 3 weeks to implement a 3 line fix. My biggest problem with talking to either of those guys, I don't have the patience for how slow they talk. I noticed this with Robin Quivers from Howard Stern. 20 years ago, she spoke much faster with very little pauses but now talks much slower with a lot more pauses and "Uh" moments. Same with my mom, just takes longer to say the same thing than it used to take.

    The over 40 people that worked for Google were on contract when I worked on a google project as a contractor. The youngest person, a woman in her 30's, was clearly overwhelmed by various things that typically happen to cutting edge tech projects. She was an employee and was let go at the end of the program. The boss I work for is in his 50's and experienced and dedicated. He would have done a way better job in her position. He is so good at his job a large part from his 30 years experience.

    What stops them saying that anyways? Isn't that what they are already doing when selling that shit?

    Apologies to us, you mean. On paper, the Pope doesn't want you having sex until married. Since a good wife wouldn't let her husband play D&D, it wouldn't matter two shits to the Church.

  14. Analog would get capped at 720 or 1080 in a world of 4k and eventually 8k in the next generation product.

  15. They gave up on analog copies years ago. They care about giving away the high quality 1080p streams and higher. For someone with a decent home theatre, watching something from a CAM is the shittiest experience and not worth watching. People who watch cams are super poor and shouldn't bother commenting on something like this.

  16. Disregard? The only takeaway from your comment is that you suck cocks.

  18. Fuck off, you piece of shit. No one likes you.

  19. You're just arguing to be an asshole. I used to use that argument on manufactured boy bands that used predictable formulas to get tons of pussy and money. Now that I'm older and better recognize jealousy, I have to admit they are "good", just not to me.

  20. I find that people that say "who cares..." are generally losers with no life and unaware other people have lives.

  21. So if more women get larger raises than men by threatening to leave, that won't be legal, either? What the actual fuck ?

  22. Read TFS. They never said they can't, just that it takes time and money. How did this fucking post get +4 interesting?

  23. I can't negotiate. I got paid less than I should have for years. The only time I asked and got what I want, I had the upper hand. I found out what other people got paid in the company years later and it was much, much higher than I expected. These were people who I noticed took the hardest negotiations (ie, just stopped showing up for work until his terms were met). These were also people who took all the credit and threw every one else under the bus, sometimes in comically bad ways.

    I'd like to see the HR document that shows anyone systematically paying women less.

  25. I'm male. I fucking hate housework. I pay someone to do that for me. All cleaners who've ever worked for me have been female. There was never an opportunity to hire male, not that I would have anyway. Growing up, I lived where there was a lot of stay at home mom's. The best ones had energy coming out their asses, cooking, cleaning, looking great. All the dad's were the type to eat big meals and relax and not full of energy. I've met at least a dozen women in my life who've said they enjoy cooking and cleaning. I've met ZERO men who've said the same. Cooking yes, cleaning a big fuck no. My friend makes 6 figures a year. He'll buy a lot of things that would be cheaper to make, but it's not worth the time. His wife might also make 6 figures. She's a nurse who is also getting her masters. She refuses to allow her husband to pay a cleaner to clean up despite how tired and busy they both are. One of his hours would pay for 5 hours of cleaning and free up more time for them to spend together, but she put her foot down.
