I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

If you live in a non-english speaking country chances are you have been watching stuff with subtitles your whole life, so for us is hard to understand what the big deal is

Lot of countries just dub everything. Anything that goes on TV in my country is dubbed, with the exception of like foreign movies showed in the evening on the more "intellectual" channels. I started to hate dubbing after I got some grasp of english. I remember being mad at my dad that he bought Return of the King on VHS with dubbing only. I had some friends and relatives who avoided movies with subtitles though because they allegedly couldn't keep up.

I gather in Japan most American movies are dubbed by the same two dozen voice actors that do all anime. They must be pretty busy.

I've also heard that the French Canadian King of the Hill dub just gives them all French names and says the show is set in Quebec. I do not know if this is true, but I can hope.

Nothing says "great place to work" like both parties trying to scam the other from the very first

It's not necessarily a scam - a lot of times it's the HR person asking some tech meathead "what are the requirements" and that guy just responds to the E-mail with his "nice to haves" instead of the actual minimum baseline.

It's even worse for "list of tech experience", where you end up with dumb stuff like the job requiring 5 years of experience for a programming framework that came out 2 years ago. Companies have no idea what they want, just apply anyway.

I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.

Ugh, I wish Nintendo would stop making clone characters. He's exactly like Light Gary except his attacks hit slightly harder and he is a bit slower, wow, good job, great design.

And then they added Light Grey Hat to appease the casuals so they could ride on his better sweet spot and easier air control. loving pathetic.

No just avoid any place that has dumb fucks controlling hiring practices, which is hard to know in advance. And yeah you just apply anyway. If you want to feel good about hitting a minimum threshold say it was internship experience which at least the major background check company we use doesn't verify.

also, whoever claimed unemployment is “crazy low right now” is buying a lie.

Almost 50% of those employed folks are making less then 18k a year, many less. The gig economy, low wages and low benefits are destroying the workforce.

Nah they're just using the literal translation of Dark Gary's name in the original Japanese version. The American Dark Gary was a translation error, but it stuck for future releases in the franchise. Light Gary has always been called Light Gary, though, even in the Japanese version, as a nod to the popularity of the mistake in fan groups. Some "hardcore" weeb fans refuse to accept it, though.

Anyone who is making $25 a week is considered employed. It's just a bullshit statistic used to garnish support from rock loving stupid Republican supporters.

Currently theres a rather high unemployment rate for middle-class type work (i.e. anything needed to support yourself in a one-bedroom apartment and not starve in the process).

The US Department of Labor publishes six different unemployment rates. If someone quotes a figure at you, ask them which one they mean.

They refuse to offer more money for a position. Once a position goes unfilled for a certain amount of time, a company can more easily apply for visas to bring in overseas workers, or apply for H1B’s.

The low salaries are deliberate, and have a number of other benefits as well. They help suppress wage growth, can be used as data to prevent minimum wage increases, empty positions can be used to attract tax breaks, etc.
