No they don’t because they blast it on inflated exec wages.

Wouldn’t even be surprised if vietnamese use scientific methods to test the authenticity of the rhino horn in a lab to then proceed and ignore all scientific evidence that it doesn’t do shit to treat their hangover.

Strangely worded. “Tariff fears” sounds like something uncertain but the tariffs are in effect. They have to pay 15% tariffs right now so they’ll pass part of that on. The 50$ increase doesn’t even cover it.

It must be good though, otherwise TikTok would face mayor backlash if the platform shows more illegal content.

I used to play WoW 5v5 arena competitively in 2007. This was way before they went hard on e-sports so it’s not really comparable to today. Just to give you some perspective, the winning team at blizzcon got $25k which meant $5k each which (again, only in case of winning the world championship) would’ve just so covered my travel costs.

Honestly it was terrible. At first I used to play for fun and only accidentally ended up in a top team. Then my team got way too ambitious and it became more of a chore. I told them early on that I had no interest in playing like that but they couldn’t find a replacement so I kept playing with them until I was fully burned out. It was nice being good at something but it ruined the fun of it.

arrive at your hotel in north korea. the facade falls over and reveals a rock mine. turn around to get to the closest airport. it’s also a rock mine. blyat.

It’s usually nonsense. I remember some carbon offsets being a guy owning a forest and essentially selling his inaction as a carbon offset. Give me a million dollars so I don’t chop all those trees down which I totally would’ve done otherwise. It’s just pushing numbers around on a spreadsheet.

In this case I can imagine their calculations being wildly off. How much CO2/methane does a ton of poop actually release? How much CO2 is released to transport that ton and build the facilities that hold it?

Microsoft burying the steaming pile of poop that is teams will be enough to “offset” all their data centers.

He’s there when you really don’t want him to be but when you want him he’ll be lying in his own vomit on that burger king parking lot.

on the one hand they make some valid points on the other hand it’s a little disgusting how much wikipedia execs get payed and how sweaty they get when they worry about having to pay content moderators. currently they just pocket most of the donations they get but with increased running costs that would get harder.

don’t get me wrong, wikipedia is an important project and they deserve fair compensation but grabbing $700k per year for managing it seems a bit steep eh? it’s not like they’re forging new business strategies and conquering markets. they have a very simple concept and just keep it running. a post it note on the ceo door with “keep going lads” on it might outperform them and save some money.
