AeonFelis, in Have mercy on our souls

Let’s just agree on asking ChatJPT how it should be pronounced and go with whatever it says?

akariii,

jay pee tee?

MrFunnyMoustache, in Have mercy on our souls

Both are equally correct, so use whatever pronunciation you want.

tym, (edited )

Yes… the jraphical interchange format file extension has no proper pronunciation so we all get pronunciation participation trophies.

dan1101, in Don't read classical philosophers, they're cringe

Yes, can a free Democratic institution eventually consider evolutionary humanism as a prerequisite to the insipidness that prevails today?

S_204, in Why is this so difficult?

Not a tough choice, send aid to Israel, stop jihadists from spreading their terror through the West.

Pandawhiskers, in Have mercy on our souls

My first name starts with a G and it’s soft. Many people will read it and pronounce it hard. This argument is for my identity

elfin8er,

Okay Geoff.

dukk,

Hey, Gerome.

Daqu, in Target Acquired

Business class costs 5x economy, first class is 10x

I would have to work months to be more comfortable for a few hours. Nope.

Those taking first class peobably have their own jet anyway.

chuckleslord,

No, it’s expensive but not “private plane” expensive. I rode first-class international once because I was recovering from covid and didn’t want to deal with the pain of coach (and the travel company that was responsible for my getting covid was paying some of the bill). I’m also 6’4" and don’t physically fit in coach. So like, yeah, I’m being physically forced out of coach cause it’s too small and I have to pay out the ass to just exist on a plane without physical pain. Must mean I have my own jet, and not that I’m getting fucked.

hydration9806,

From another tall guy, how was it? Obviously not worth the price, but is it absolutely not worth the price or just very not worth the price?

jadedwench,

While I am not super tall, I am heavy. The one time I got to fly international first class was the first and only time I could sleep on a plane. I got a nice large bourbon, fluffy comforter, pillow, and burrito-ed myself in that pod. It was utterly glorious. I was glad that I wasn’t paying for it… Was something around 4k for a 5-6 hour flight.

If the flight is international and sufficiently long, getting better seats is worth it. Better food. Free booze. Lounge access (it depends…). More space. If the price is right, get first.

chuckleslord,

It was the most comfortable plane flight in my life. It wasn’t super comfortable, the sleeper pod things are made for smaller people obviously, but there wasn’t pain and there were positions I could move through if one got a little too uncomfy. It was so nice compared to every other flight in my life.

TenderfootGungi,

Those taking first class are often traveling on a company’s dime or using credit card points.

The truth is.If you have first class money you have money to get your own plane and go anywhere without babies crying.

Bathtubwalrus,

This isn’t true at all… My wife and I fly first class and are no where near being able to afford flying private 🤣 the no babies part would be fantastic though.

Oh, I’m sorry sir I’m too poor to know the differece lol.

fritolay,

Dafuq?

tastysnacks,

Is that an exaggeration? Deltas first class is like 4x economy.

Daqu,

I compared AA flights from NYC to Paris on Google flights. Those were the real prices.

knfrmity, in Target Acquired

A bullet is cheaper than food, healthcare, and education.

Austerity submachine gun go brr.

Release the hounds. Leave no witnesses.

flamingo_pinyata, in Who betrayed him for 21.6 pieces of silver?

Jesus also spent some time in jail.

If you use 72% of a cross is it still a crucifiction? That’s like both arms and one foot nailed.

lugal,

Early depictions show a T-shaped cross so arguably, Jesus himself was only 72% crucified

prettybunnys,

The “top” part of the cross is kinda unnecessary unless you crucify upside down…. FWIW

flamingo_pinyata,

<sad St. Peter noises>

AngryCommieKender,

They did that to some of the apostles, IIRC

prettybunnys, (edited )

Crucifixion was done in a multitude of ways, at the end of the day they didn’t care how you died and it was often changed to prolong the suffering if they wanted to.

Upside down, sideways, face first, face up, if the suffocation version didn’t get you exposure would.

It was designed to punish you for the rest of your life, so to speak.

puppy, in Yeah, well...

Hahah. If the commentor just went “you’re right, I just changed my mind”. That itself would make the OP some pause 😂

Matter of fact, when you do get a raise you need to ask yourself if it’s truly a raise. Inflation decreases the purchasing power of your salary, so if you get a raise you might be getting what was your initial salary.

Honytawk,

In Belgium we have mandatory wage increases to combat inflation.

Companies aren’t allowed to call them raises because that isn’t what they are.

Last year after Covid, we had an increase of 11-12%. Which was very nice.

volvoxvsmarla,

Honestly this should be the norm everywhere.

Anticorp,

Why not just freeze prices then? I guess because you still have to purchase goods from abroad that wouldn’t freeze prices? Inflation sucks and I hate it.

Liz,

I hate inflation too, but I understand why it’s necessary. Imagine if rich people had an even easier time hoarding their wealth.

Although now that think of it, maybe at this point we really don’t need to create positive feedback loops for economic growth anymore.

ITypeWithMyDick,

You did a fantastic job, blew all your metrics out of the park. You were herr 6/7 days a week for the whole year and did the work of 3 people. We couldnt be more proud of you. So I went to bat for you, really fought like hell, and managed to get your raise increased from 3% to 5&!!!

Inflation was 8+%

EddieTee77,

Holy shit are you my boss because that exact conversation happened to me last year!

jballs,
@jballs@sh.itjust.works avatar

Oh shit, I didn’t know you were on my last performance review call.

InputZero,

Just remember that I stuck my neck out for you. We’ve got a lot work coming in and I’ll need you to pick up some of the slack. Who knows, maybe this time next year you could be a team leader and switch over to salary. It opens a lot of opportunities.

LemmyKnowsBest, in chow time

I read somewhere recently that she was not alone in that airplane. She had a man co-pilot. Is this true or not?

Bayz0r,

Yes, she was with Fred Noonan, her navigator.

LemmyKnowsBest, (edited )

Great, that’s what I thought. So why does nobody ever talk about him? Surely coconut crabs feasted on him too.

CluckN, (edited )

The crabs wanted Noona-him

LemmyKnowsBest,

So why was Amelia Earhart famed for being the first woman to fly solo around the world? She was not solo.

DragonTypeWyvern,

Because people have bad memories and aren’t good at spotting precise language choices in the first place.

cerulean_blue,

Because she wasn’t. She was the first woman to fly Solo across the Atlantic. The fated flight would have seen her become the first woman to Fly around the world, no mention of being Solo.
