    Yup, it was all clearly laid out in the IPO, I remember because I was totally like "WTF?".

    Now IANAL but common sense would suggest that Fuckabug & his cronies wouldn't have bothered trying all that shenanigans if they didn't know it would stand up in court.

    "Taking the rise" means to mock something, normally used in combination with "you muppet" or "what do you take me for, some sort of pilchard?" Only people who think rings with coins in them are classy, i.e. most non-toff Brexiteers, use it these days.

    Perhaps it's mocking itself?

    Because most investors are interested in making money, and not in "having a say".

    It's like the two things are entirely disconnected.

    As in "You're not getting a dividend, I'm going to give tons of company money to a non-profit owned by my fat minger wife's cat and you can go pound sand".

  8. Tell me what you think constitutes gaslighting. Because I don't see any here, but then again I actually know what it means.

    Productivity per hour goes down

    Productivity is already "per hour". Output per hour, to be precise.

    but at least for that stretch productivity will be way up.

    No. Output might go up, but it'll likely do so less than proportionally to the hours worked. And it might even go down if people are so tired they're making errors that cost time to fix.

    If you're making 1.5 times as much stuff but taking twice the time then productivity (at least if you use the word to mean what it actually does) falls by 25%. This has been known since forever.

    That wood a peer to bee the K's, wooden tit? They aren't typing the word wrong, they're typing the wrong word.

    Historically, this referred to mistakes in manual type-setting (typography). The term includes errors due to mechanical failure or slips of the hand or finger,[2] but excludes errors of ignorance, such as spelling errors, or the flip-flopping of words such as "than" and "then".

    I'm right, you're wrong and I produced a citation to back it up. How about YOU get over it?
