I’d fight em and refuse to pay the extra on the bill. It’s not your responsibility to fix their fuck-up when they are the ones estimating and billing you. If they want their money they shouldve given you the correct bill the first time. It’s like getting a cheeseburger for $5, and then the restaurant realizes inflation exists and comes banging on your door for another $10 a month later.

Did it happen another time?

The problem is the complete and often militant refusal to ever build upon anything, ever

Schools will happily drill the 3 newtonian laws of motion in one ear and out the other in literally every science class. But when it comes to actually teaching understanding, nothing but crickets.

This should be incredibly fucking concerning, and yet it’s become about as interesting as dropping a penny in the parking lot, which is honestly even more concerning.

Lot to unpack in that last panel

Wall-E functioned

He was definitely not running windows

False. It’s an Alpha Romeo, those are all just oil dispensers

Going by the spillage, that stuff is already fuckin rancid as hell

Ah, did you have to talk to a nearly genetically identical girl whose skin happens to have more pigmentation? Maybe it was all the gays calling you names and perverting your children, or did the disabled people steal your seat on the short bus again?

Are your poor whittle feelings gonna be ok? Do you need to colonize someone else’s home and murder a bunch people to feel better?

Legit the only way I can figure out how to spell it

til, I’m an archeologist

I could’ve fuckin sworn there was a tumblr post about this being pronounced xylophone

Aah, the hotel TV remote, a classic

I’m not convinced we have any hand whatsoever. The world economy might be thrown into a bit of chaos, but more and more countries are starting to tell the US to go fuck itself. It’s not inconceivable to think of the US being completely irrelevant and ignored economically within the next decade.

Only one threat to public safety that I can see, and it sure as shit didn’t cross any borders

Thanks, Potential-Future-Boss-Man, for letting me know you’re an actual piece of shit who has unclear expectations and plays games with their employees. Now I know to work quite literally anywhere else.

An interview is a business transaction being negotiated and requires equal participation from both parties. The only ‘thank you’ that should be exchanged for such things is a solid handshake and a polite “Good day” when the interview is over. Be respectful and sincere, but don’t buy into the childish “I’m the boss and you must grovel at my feet for a penny” game that so many managers and corporate assholes love to play.

I heard this concept somewhere once of “Technical Debt” wherein a thing gets made and it works really well but then it gets updated or new features are added and something breaks, but rather than tear the whole thing apart to fix the issue, a patch or bandaid gets slapped on to ship the thing. Then the next update comes along and this time it takes two bandaids, one to ‘fix’ the new problem and one to keep the old bandaid on. The next update takes three bandaids, then four . . . and so on. The accumulation of all these bandaids is known as the Technical Debt, and it must always be repaid, somehow, someday.

Microsoft stubbornly refuses to repay their technical debt at all costs, Apple is terrified of letting anyone ever get even a glimpse of their mountain of technical debt, and Linux bathes in a weird soup of refusing to let technical debt even happen and dispensing bandaids so fast they make the RedCross look like a joke.
