    Why is this a thing? What are people complaining about with the Google Chef thing? I see nothing wrong with what happened.

    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?

    Seriously.

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

    the "no true scotch man" fallacy.

    Depending on exactly when he sold, his ownership stake was between .07% and .03%. Considering when he was hired, that's a fucking tiny ownership stake. In most start ups it would mean that retirement would be covered assuming you work till 65. But in his case it was fucking Google.

    I ordered these shoes: http://www.aldoshoes.com/us/trends/moody-nature/men/85413540-HERVY/97

    to me they look like D&D adventurer sneakers. I am in love.

    They are rather snazzy shoes. My favorite part about them would be that they would hide socks.

    If it was announced tomorrow that Zynga's CEO had pancreatic cancer, and was going to die a horribly painful death over the next three months, I would laugh so hard.

    I might laugh for the whole three months. And then probably for a week after that. Because it would be hilarious. It's unfortunate that we do not live in a just universe.

    also, they're kind of shady, I think

    and they have this weird thing about researching the best ways to make their games addictive and compelling to spend increasing amount of money on

    yes, their games are black holes of thought and time well spent.
