Dustin That's the spirit. Don't let them dangle that bullshit carrot. A year from now they'll just be all, oh sorry business is slow so we can't afford raises.  Uh, okay.  The mental image no one wanted.  gently caress Dustin for working temporary jobs.

On the Fastrack It's a good thing we're not a massive cyber security corporation or anything and have a wealth of resources to deal with this.  "This is just another ploy to act out your film noir fantasies on Second Life on company time isn't it..."  "Oh. For a second there I thought you were going to enact some horrible punishment on us again."  How did Dethany manage to do that with Fi not being aware of it? She's right next to her.  "...Residing at 127.0.0.1 . Now if you'll excuse me, aaah look behind you it's a keylogger!"  Well except Dethany did all the work, and I'm not sure why she brought along the accountant for an IT problem in the first place.

Fingerpori - My brother sleeps well when he keeps the balcony door wide open - I've got to try that The expression for "wide open" here is selällään, literally "on its back"; "back" here meaning specifically the posterior of a body in the anatomical sense but also used figuratively when talking about non-living beings. I think the expression means that the "back" of the door is more or less up against the wall, so in a manner of speaking it's on its back. "Back" is selkä, adessive case "on a back" is selällä. There's two ways of adding a 3rd person possessive suffix: "on his/her/its back" selällänsä and selällään, the latter of which was used here. The problem with the suffix is that depending on the sentence it can make it ambiguous as to who or what is the 3rd person is. Heimo thought the brother kept the door "on his back". Fok_It

She's a counterfeiter, and the "art teacher" she has inside is the dude working on the plates.

No, they're not counterfeiters, they're FORGING ARTWORK! Yeah, that's it. Midnight Moth posted:
It happens sometimes, I think. In my own case, and from what some other consultant buddies tell me. The CFO of one of my biggest accounts feels he has to inject himself into every IT project or concern. I think it's either because he doesn't understand the expenditures we make, or he just doesn't trust consultants or something. I have to admit, it is pretty hilarious watching him become completely confused in meetings when geekspeak is happening. And then watching him make a complete idiot out of himself when he tries to "participate". We all keep our "business faces" on, though (even though we're laughing like children on the inside), because he does indeed sign our checks.  Jane's World  Enmeshed? Ok, Paige, I guess.

Donald Duck is a weekly comic in most of Scandinavia, and over here in Norway, if you sign up for it and you're under 12 years of age, you can get birthday cards from Donald Duck in the mail on your birthdays. Although, if you ask nicely, you can still get them even if you're 16 or 30.

Evil Mastermind posted:It's finally loving over! This stupid thing started on July 29th, 2013. A year and a quarter of this poo poo. Even though I never liked Pibgorn before this, I've been so baffled by Brooke's choice to bury his own strip inside itself. Isn't building and maintaining an audience an important part of doing a comic series? Imagine that you've never heard of Pibgorn or Brooke before, and you've just checking out the strip once in a while. You might go back and see a year's worth of archives, and this 1930s romance thing is all you get. Based on what you'd see every week, how would you ever, ever guess what Pibgorn actually is or is supposed to be about? I really hope there's one person out there who's looking at the last panel going "Huh? Juliet's not dead and in a leotard now? What? Huh?  Is this the afterlife? "

One thing that is established is that Brooke has that internet bunker mentality that puts everyone who isn't showering him with praise as a troll. Yes, he got trolled, but he put those people at the same level as the people who said things like "maybe you could tighten up your dialog" or "your pacing could use a little work". Seriously, the guy's made "payback comics" against trolls; in fact the storyline before the whole Romeo & Juliet thing was about an internet troll who gets control over the characters for some reason, makes them do terrible things, then ends up saving the world and hates himself because now people like him!

Maybe that's suggesting they're actually illegally paying their employees sub-minimum wage starting out rather than going through a loophole to make it legal, and the $10 is a carrot so they can quietly fire them one day away from their raise because it's a Right to Work state where the employee's right to recourse has been eroded to nothing.
