You don’t become a billionaire by hard work. You exploited a lot of people, you fucked over a lot of people. If they were a billionaire but literally everyone that worked for them was a multi-millionare I’d shut up. If I made $100,000 (of current USD) for 2,000 years… I wouldn’t have made a billion dollars.

I remember when that word meant something.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Hey look, a giant sign telling you to find a different job
9·18 days agoYeah, I took it as it’s a barely functional company that’s being held together by hopes and dreams. The food vendors at my local state fair do millions in sales in just a few weekends. Per Wikipedia, Sweet Martha’s Cookies in 2023 made $4.6 million in 12 days.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•What can you tell from this photo alone?
24·19 days ago- they like jagermeister above all else
- Their apartment is likely messy, (they’re hoarding bottles instead of taking them to the recycling, implying not a hoarder but lack of motivation)
- They play music
- Their last play session didn’t go very good, as the guitar is broken.
They’re in the photo…
It’s why they’re so damn happy 😉
I’ll take the blood one.
I think it’d be fun just to freak out some people. I would have gone with the eye one but I’m always wearing sunglasses, so would be wasted on me.

Back of the line!
I have had 1 week off the whole year. I have some PTO coming up. I feel guilty using it (even though I shouldn’t).
I mean, it’s the 40k universe, there’s a 100% you gonna die. So, really, it does fit your criteria… just in a roundabout way.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•What’s wrong, babe? You barely touched your Spaghetacos
4·2 months agoSame. I’d be lying if I said I wouldn’t just be like “wtf is this, fuck it, give me four”
It was about the goal, not the how.
I think you mean '99
Due the storm of ‘Bawitdaba’, ‘Only God Knows Why’, and ‘Cowboy’ being released that year and Napster.
My first homelab server is running unRAID. No real complaints from me. It’s been running for years no issues other than the crap hardware it runs on (i7-3770, 32GB RAM). I have some file shares, docker, and some VMs. The UI makes it really easy to do stuff, especially if you don’t want to have to research and manage everything.
Back in my high school days, I worked at a small company that had like 3 or 4 tech guys, each one assigned to a specific building. The one assigned to ours, wasn’t very knowledgeable on anything, was more of a tech enthusiast. So when anything would go wrong my manager would come get me first. Which then expanded to various co-workers asking if I’d come to their house to fix things. I helped fix so many slow running computers back in the day. Never charged anyone, I saw it as an opportunity to learn and practice. When I got to college, I FLEW through all the course material.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•how do school shooters know how to use guns?
71·3 months agoI shot my first guns in kindergarten. My uncle’s handgun and my grandpa’s shotgun. Lived on the farm, it was just normal. But it was just in the farm, supervised of course. The moment my cousin and I were old enough we were in a firearms safety course so we could go hunting. Hell we used to help make ammo (just reloading shells).
Guns are really simple to use. Reloading for most guns people will ever encounter outside the military is simple. You got the safety switch and the trigger and it’s really point and click at that point. I tell you the hardest part is learning how to hold it correctly. We’ve all seen videos of people holding a gun wrong and shenanigans ensues when they lose control of it. https://imgur.com/gallery/shotgun-fail-odC6s

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•You're still talking about this?
4·4 months agoAnd from reports, that really hurt!
I am. It’s a reality of humanity. Most of us would like peace myself included. But to have peace, you have to be able to defend it. You can’t be passive. It’s kind of the idea of why you would have military, people ready and willing to fight to preserve the peace from those that end peace.
My great-grandfather wasn’t exactly sad when he helped take down the Nazis. And I’m not going to be particularly sad when taking down a neo-Nazi. Sorry, they like to be called maga now.

That’s not an incentive for people to shop there. Grocery store prices are already bad enough. No one wants to pay extra money for a more limited selection.
