Broke and depressed
I know what the meme is supposed to represent, but the Tolkien nerd in me feels the need to correct the universal misunderstanding of the picture used.
Frodo isn’t saying he can’t read the inscription on the One Ring because it’s in Elvish. He actually is pretty fluent in Elvish in the novel, but the inscription on the Ring was in the Black Speech, which he couldn’t recognise.
Stonetoss is a Nazi.
I think more of a Steve Tyler.
Houthi is a name of a tribe, a surname of the tribe’s leader, as well as the name of a movement associated with that tribe.
The Houthi movement is a Shi’a Islamist movement from Yemen (where about 1/3 of the population are Shi’a, and 2/3 Sunni). The movement has been on the opposing side to the Yemeni government in the long Yemeni Civil War.
Allegedly it’s supported by Iran (which Iran officially declined) and it’s mottos include “Death to America” and “Death to Israel”. That should explain roughly why they are causing a stir in the Red Sea region.
You seriously believe in Lamarck? Like, I don’t know, I’m not a native speaker, maybe I’m missing something.
How many fucking times do we have to repeat this: TRAITS ACQUIRED DURING LIFETIME ARE NON-INHERITABLE
If you lose your fingers in an industrial accident, your children aren’t going to be born fingerless, are they?
Giraffes don’t have long necks because one little giraffe long, long ago tried really, really hard to grow a longer neck, but because giraffes who had been born with longer necks could compete better than those without, and pass on their genes. And they got those necks due to mutations.
Environmental pressure selects for benefitial mutations, while the mutations themselves are random. That’s literally the mechanism of evolution through natural selection.
Not related, but I like your username sera.
Jebediah Kerman’s Jewish cousin?
Go fuck yourself. I have one train every two hours, only a couple bucks on my bank account, and five minutes until my train leaves.
I’m NOT going to wait for the local pensioners to but five months worth of groceries.
To paraphrase a certain 20h YouTube video:
“This isn’t bargaining, this is acceptance. Goodbye, Skyrim life.”
I never claimed superiority. I only said that since Europeans are accustomed to 24h system, the joke becomes difficult to understand, because we don’t have this problem.
But if you perceive this as some sign of superiority, well…
I’m sorry is this some American joke I’m too European to understand?
Some of these sound like prehistoric cultures. Like Aurignacian
Especially those hominins, creepy tool-using fucks.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha…
You serious?
For real though. Yes the CEO can get a pay cut, but that is unlikely to save more than a few individuals. The costs of labour are just that high, often the highest of all costs a company has. That’s why laying off staff, although terrible, is the best way to save money for a company.
I agree that CEOs earn waaaaay to much for what they actually do, but cutting that is not the magic solution people imagine it is.
Even the famous pay cut by Shigeru Miyamoto of Nintendo was accompanied by other cost saving measures in the company, and only because Japanese law demands that layoffs be the last thing a company does.
