That sounds backwards to me. If companies are paying all the taxes, why would you insert a second company into the chain? Then both companies would be paying a tax portion, and your salary would be that much less than if you just had a job.

Or were you thinking that you could bamboozle the government out of the tax revenue by saying “Oops, no profit! Salaries cost too much!”? I don’t think that would work unless the entire structure was built with one directive in mind: “Reward Hollywood accounting”

The price is the price, yo

I also think a collage of bumper stickers looks tacky. I wouldn’t condemn it in such strong terms as you used, however.

Yeah, that’s true. Writing alone isn’t enough for a good movie – I’m really just saying that it’s the most important element for me.

To me, not very important. Quality of writing ranks higher for me.

I don’t think a different voice can fix a bad movie. That being said, I can’t think of any actors whose voices I can’t stand.

OTOH, Brotherhood of the Wolf does come to mind here. It’s a French movie; I’ve watched both with subtitles and dubbed. The voice actor for the English dub doesn’t quite fit the character.

Is that a fact? Are you sure? Will you recant if it comes out that the police did, in fact, plant it?

Nitpick the lawyer’s phrasing all you like; it won’t actually change any of the facts of the case, whatever they may be. Myself, I’m not going to jump to “why bother having a trial? The police arrested him; he’s clearly guilty as sin” based on a Lemmy comment!

Almost like the lawyer thinks “they didn’t follow procedure” is an easier legal argument than “the police dept is trying to frame my client”.

Civ 3 works well with a warmonger style

Your comment made me think of DJs. Not “real” musicians? Seems like a similarly-structuree argument.

Glory to you and your house!

Ah, gotcha, yeah, that makes sense.

My own city has pretty good bike lane coverage, but it’s similar – cars have to cross over the bike lane to get into the turn lane.

Basic decency…gah. Yeah, I wish. :(

Not sure what “American car centrism” has to do with Chinese traffic regulations tbh

I found this article. My takeaways were:

1. No driving in bus lanes during certain times of day.
2. No using the shoulder as a turn lane.
3. No using a bike lane as a turn lane.

I think lack of goodwill plays into this, too. A lot of smaller sites can get away with stuff like “OK guys, the servers aren’t free, so we need to run ads.” and then have people super thrilled with them if there’s an option to limit or disable ads for donors.

On reddit, I think the attitude would basically be “get fucked, spez!”

Ha, fair enough. It is an admirable sentiment either way.

Torn between up voting the sentiment and down voting politics - I really don’t think this counts as a tech endeavor.

Two of my favorites are one-pot chicken riggies and baked ziti

O…kay? I never said you HAD a responsibility to buy MH Wilds. I’m really not sure where your vehement reaction is coming from.

Ah, yep, def when they called it Firefox.

Indeed. This is 100% on management for not prioritizing PC and rushing the release dates. Cheaping out is right, lazy…not so much IMO.
