In Florida, most avocados aren't hass.
It sucks.
i'll cya, scrubs
It's just as well, I suppose.

because for a minute there I thought this was an Eric Stoltz [chat]
Prank caller, prank caller!
isn't it pretty much a fact that anyone who doesn't think our prison system is a terrible awful bad thing is insane?
The "chief" (lot of assumptions have to be made about how people organized themselves before writing) in a late neolithic setting does not have all that much more than everyone else. They probably had extensive priveledges in terms of decision making of course. Maybe they owned a bit more land or domesticated animals. Had a bit bigger / nicer house. But compared to the majority of people they were living essentially the same kind of life just better off.
Nothing even remotely like the massive class differences that exist in the US today.

I like the part of F for Fake where they surreptitiously record men turning their heads and gawking at a good looking woman.
No? Just today's.

I bet I could make a really kickass system with some time. The inventories would be managed so hard. And the shipping / receiving systems would melt your face.
I'm going to throw this Jared Diamond article from 1987 out there. He posits that not only did life get worse after we started farming but that it's still worse.
lack of socialized healthcare reduces middle-class entrepeneurship, which makes our healthcare system distinctly anti-American

You couldn't do a worse job then current POS systems.
I'm going to throw this Justin Sane post from 2011 out there. He posits that not only is Jared Diamond a fucking tool shed but that he should also be thrown off a bridge.
What did that crackpot say now?
Look Feral, middle-class entrepreneurship leads to Google Chefs. And we can't have that.
Why is this a thing? What are people complaining about with the Google Chef thing? I see nothing wrong with what happened.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with what happened.
But some people (for example, the executives at Zynga) will complain because some people (for example, the executives at Zynga) are flatulent pusbags.

I'm not complaining about it at all. I work for a startup and I'm hoping the same damn thing happens to me.
holy shit, who even disables embedding anymore?!
When Google went IPO, some of their non-technical non-executive employees struck it big on stock options.
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
It wasn't a thing until Zynga decided to use it as justification for fucking over their employees.
Which, honestly if you work for Zynga should not have been a surprise. Their entire business model is based on efficiently manipulating people into giving them maximum money for minimum effort. Is it really a shock to hear the HR department is doing the same thing to you?
but I feel like I did not make this up. Google search comes up with...well, you probably know already
Damn, I wish I was Google Chef.
When our company was bought, some non executive employees had their shares bought out by new company and they made fucking bank. Like, millions in bank.
Avocado Yggdrasil should be a band name.
But it really wasn't just him. Google had a stock buy-in program for all of their early employees. he was just the most famous because he took his money and opened his own business.
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
I haven't seen other wise. I'm in, Cass is, Pony is and I assume you are.
In Zynga's case it's because their CEO is a greedy fuck. The reality is that working for a start up is different then most companies. It requires the staff to be more independent to a much higher degree. And there is a ton of risk.
