woot, at least I know the reason, but it’s still shitty - thank you <3

Three whole extra downvotes after I changed my perfectly polite comment to griping. 21 from missing info, 3 from the edit.

So no.

But have fun, whatever.

Fuck off, I’m quite well-read, but I haven’t happened to read whatever book this is. I’ve actually suffered off and on in my life because of my extensive and sometimes archaic vocabulary that came from reading so much as a child.

I’m sure you meant nothing by your comment, but fuck off anyway, you’ve hit on a rather sensitive nerve.

I fucking LOVE the crowd downvoting when a reference is missed. Fucking LOVE that shit because all it does is show how shitty these sites can be when they come together to bully someone.

Voting doesn’t matter - except it’s the community feeling smug because they happen to know some thing that in this particular case, I happen not to.

So fuck everyone.

I’d never heard of the game, so I was curious to know what AI would do with it, hoping it would try to solve the math.

Nope. It recognized it and told me where it was from. lol.

Oof. Some accidental commedic placement there.

don’t be a dick… don’t be a dick…

exactly

approximaely ;-)

I’m just glad it didn’t go whey above your head.

I can’t figure out how your comment is supposed to be funny, so I guess I’ll assume you’re serious.

Time feels like it moves rapidly - like how an arrow flies through the air quickly.

(because if you’re joking about the existence of an insect called a “time fly”, that’s… what the joke is predecated upon)

It’s always worth posting about people who identify as following that particular book, though, because of the irony. Holding them up to their own purported standards, not ours.

no a theramin not drums u idiot

( ;-) )

I find turning the steering wheel and putting it in reverse nostalgic… it takes me right back :)

Maybe that one is from Spaceballs, which is just the woist. :)

Some people, when confronted with a problem, think, “I know, I’ll use regular expressions.”

Now they have two problems.

“I just spent a hundred dollars on a new belt, but I had to throw it away because it didn’t fit. You know, it’s not so much that I spent that much money that bothers me, it’s the huge waste.”

I think it could be improved from that, but that’s the direction I’d take it in. :)

Someone who knows my anus very very well.

I think it should be “They can’t handle their licker”

To claim unemployment benefits or transition smoothly to a new job, Japanese workers need a separation notice (rishokuhyo) and a tax withholding slip (gensen choshuhyo). Bitter companies will simply “forget” to process or mail these, forcing the former employee to beg for them or drag the labor standards office into the fray.

While withholding a final paycheck is strictly illegal under the Labor Standards Act, companies might delay it or refuse to pay out expected severance (taishokukin).

If the industry is small enough, word travels fast and people can be blacklisted.

And just like many USians believe you have to give two-weeks notice, many Japanese believe you must go through that process to leave a company (with possible good reason considering how hard the companies can make it).

Is there something wrong with just not showing up one morning?

Yes, in Japanese culture, many employers expect the resigning employee to submit to extensive interviews on why they are quitting as well as make apologies to the company.
