Who What Now posted:People say Guy Goodbody isnt funny, but him getting all in a tizzy over something when he didn't even properly know what it was is hilarious. How dare you insinuate that Internet Anime Poster isn't smarter than all those idiot scientists and philosophers from the 1950's. That was so long ago that they may as well have been banging on rocks with sticks. I get all my philosophical learnin' from this worn VHS copy of Gundam Gundam Gabbagoo or whatever.

There are places that make the musicians pay to play there then still demand part of the take. In entirely too many industries the only way to actually get a chance at a job is to get a degree then be an unpaid intern for a few years. poo poo is hosed up and bullshit.

ToxicSlurpee posted:Sometimes I go out and look for programming spec work. It isn't because I want spec work but because I want to laugh at how bug gently caress insane some people are. Some of the best stories came before I landed my current job and would have taken spec work. Myself and my colleagues got approached recently to do a bit of a custom conversion. It was for a financial company, to port an old VB6 application to .NET. Ok not fun work but doable. Oh but there's 1.4 million lines of VB in there and they wanted us to assume all financial risks for bugs. For non-programmers this is absolutely insane, it's months of work just to port it. testing could have taken 6 months alone. Assuming financial risk for bugs for a finance company you might as well cut out the middle man and declare yourself bankrupt straight away.

My wife is a private family lawyer, her clients seem baffled by the idea that everytime they call or email her she charges them. One guy told her that she shouldn't charge people for just advice (legal advice, it's literally her job). Another suggested that she not charge anything because she's just starting out and needs the "EXPOSURE". I feel like this is pretty much every industry now.

Allow me to share my story of exposing myself...er, wait, that's not what I meant. I work for a small business and we get approached a lot with offers of "hey if you just give us all this product for free then we'll list you as a sponsor!" So how does that help me? Now we're advertising to a bunch of other deadbeats that we'll work for free? I don't think so. Welcome to the 21st century gig economy race-to-the-bottom.

Baby goats and capybaras, truly a dangerous combination. And yeah, every industry is desperately pushing every means of making people work for as little as possible, preferably nothing, as hard as they can get away with it, which is increasingly more and more because the watchdogs were defunded.

To interrupt this much more interesting EXPOSURE derail to revisit the much more dull haggling derail, it's really just a case of where. In a supermarket if you try and haggle, first of all the cashier isn't allowed to give you a discount except in specific circumstances. You'd be stopping the entire line so they can call the manager who is probably just going to show up to give you a perfectly reasonable answer as to why they can't give you a discount for this item at this time. In the end you wasted your time, the staff's time and everyone else's time unlucky enough to be in line behind you. Meanwhile something like a jewelry store, the markups on every single item are absolutely absurd and haggling is basically expected. If you ask the shopkeep to round down for you and the total discount isn't more than 10%, most will immediately accept and frankly consider you a weak haggler. Same is true for most places that sell big ticket items like furniture or appliances, or if your total is significantly high. The one notable exception is restaurants where haggling is traditionally seen as rude and sad, and depending where you eat you're even expected to pay extra in tips.

The current Australian government have been working their collective butts off trying to pass a gigantic corporate tax break bill and they've practically been screaming "TRICKLE DOWN ECONOMICS!" constantly and it's been hilarious watching the entire country go "Ah ha ha no we're not going to swallow that bullshit any more" and the papers publishing articles saying "Hey if most of our large corporations are paying zero tax already how will more tax breaks incite them to hire more people???" The government just withdrew the bill because they couldn't get the numbers to push it through. Snowglobe of Doom has a new favorite as of 14:51 on Mar 27, 2018 |

My older relatives exposed themselves to Windows Advanced Security Center. Luckily they had 3 other security suites installed already so fortunately nothing bad came out of that. Also they were pretty efficient in figuring out what caused the exposure so I don't expect there will be more of the same coming from that direction. They really dodged a bullet there.
