Define both "grotesquely excessive" and "just scraping by". Specifically however I want to know what you mean by "just scraping by"; what counts as making too little for you? Tell me why CEOs deserve such grotesquely excessive salaries while their workers scrape by an existence and then I'll answer your question.

Tell me what is inherently wrong with a CEO making millions of dollars without using Reddit-tier soijack memes. Bonus points if you're able to bring up other positions on the corporate ladder instead of just the basic entry-level ones and their salaries as well. >as he defends a multi millionaire CEO's salary
Y-yes massa mouse, the big bad rioters are the real problem. Please let me go back to being a 12 dollar an hour wage slave massa. I'll be a good boi massa, I'll generate your profits for you. Massa treats me good mmhmm.

How's leather taste wagie?
and just say that I completely agree with him on not only Floyd's death but also the looting/rioting between mom & pop stores and big business stores. I wouldn't know but I imagine it tastes about the same as the milk being squeezed out of the public teat that you so vehemently defend.

I'll only bring up the first three minutes or so because there's quite a bit in that video worth discussing and I'd rather not bite off more than I want to chew (even though I could), and just say that I completely agree with him on not only Floyd's death but also the looting/rioting between mom & pop stores and big business stores. However the one thing I keep seeing constantly for years now is the comparison between a CEOs salary and an hourly employee's wage and I really wish this comparison would just stop. There's a lot more involved than just those two numbers, not to mention the eight or so ranks between these two individuals and their salaries/job descriptions and none of the other details are ever brought up even though it would show a more complete picture on how a "big business" is run because it mostly certainly runs significantly different than a small business.

As of right now, I'm simply trying to build myself at work so that I can transfer from Fantasyland to the Emporium. It'd be the same job but the Emporium is much bigger and if I can not only make it there, but also last for at least six months, I can pretty much go anywhere up I want in the company. The Emporium is often called a rotating door since people are constantly getting promotions and special assignments there and new people keep coming in, I want to use that as a way to prepare for a Leadership/Manager position.

I remember only having a few handful of Transformer toys and how I could never get a full set that would combine to make a bigger one. Same problem with Bionicles; parents would always say "I have enough of X toys" and so I was left with only a small handful of each. Mom never kept my Transformer toys but luckily I was able to save the Bionicles and other LEGO sets.

Would really appreciate a source on this that isn't a jpeg. https://www.wthr.com/article/vermont-orders-walmart-target-stop-selling-non-essential-items-store>No purchasing gardening supplies because growing your own produce is more dangerous than buying produce that has been coughed on by people who may have Covid-19. https://ktla.com/news/local-news/officials-paddleboarder-arrested-at-malibu-pier-for-flouting-state-stay-at-home-order/>No paddleboarding in the ocean by yourself because you might infect the lifeguard with Covid-19. > https://www.gameandfishmag.com/editorial/mixed-signals-on-fishing-during-covid-19-crisis/374430>No fishing (a usually solitary hobby or one with minimal P2P contact) in Washington state. This is more a US societal problem than it is a Covid problem. Your entire economy is predicated on a dog eat dog mentality that if the poor can't cut it then they're left on the scrap heap, even during a crisis which they have no control over. Every other developed nation has their workers on a furlough scheme because they recognise that saving lives takes precedent over capitalist greed and producitivity It's funny that you say that considering: 1. European and Asian countries are starting to reopen slowly as well. 2. American workers who weren't laid off (because small businesses with owners who are just scraping by can't survive an elongated lock down process) are furloughed as well (I was furloughed). 3. You talk about "American capitalist greed" for wanting to go back to work yet some of the biggest corporations like Walmart, Amazon, and Target have been making money hand over fist due to this pandemic and the top richest people in the world only got more rich because of the pandemic ( Link here). 4. This pandemic and it's lock down is sending millions of people into crippling poverty ( Link here).

It's called easy formatting. If the US is doing so unbelievably poorly, how about you respond to the numbers Das brought up? Or the fact that a good portion of the US numbers are from places with strict draconian lock down measures? Or are you going to ignore it and just make laughably false insinuations about 30 million unemployed people some more since that seems to be your biggest gripe. Le ebin 4channel greentext.
I ask again, what's this argument shattering point you seem to have arrived at here? The US population has proved time and time again that they lack the capability of putting safety before individual preferences throughout this crisis. Japan has not. Your comparisons are bogus.

>"Not locking down forever will be a disaster!" >Japan did minimal at the wake of pandemic >Everyone claims the country was going to become a disaster as well >They handled the pandemic fine because of everything else other than their government response >"Stay the FUCK home!" Yeah, you sure showed me.

Don't forget that a large number of those US numbers are from NYC where they have incredibly strict lock down measures.

Next time pick a better example.
From your own article: But Japan’s version of “lockdown” – requests to avoid unnecessary outings, work from home and observe social distancing – came across as a timid response to a situation that risked spiraling out of control. The dispatch of two reusable masks to every household was met with derision, as people posted photographs on social media of the small, and in some cases dirty, “Abenomasks” – a play on the leader’s economic policy dubbed “Abenomics”. Abe’s performance throughout the crisis has been uneven, according to Tobias Harris, an expert on Japanese politics at Teneo consultancy. “I think he has struggled to stay ahead of events since the beginning, has not communicated effectively, and has been poorly served by his lieutenants.” The Abe administration has gained few political dividends for its response; instead, most plaudits have gone to the quiet determination shown by the public, armed with virus-challenging habits formed long before the pandemic. “I don’t think the falling number of infections is due to government policies,” said Ryuji Koike, the assistant director of Tokyo Medical and Dental university hospital. “I think it looks like Japan is doing well thanks to things that can’t be measured, like daily habits and ‘Japanese behaviour’.” Japan’s incremental exit from the state of emergency continues. Last week, Abe ended the measure in 39 prefectures, adding another three this week. Tokyo and four other prefectures could join them as early as Monday, according to media reports. You're wrong, and that's okay. Things will go back to normal before the end of the year, most people are finally starting to grow some common sense. In your own words: cope.

It's funny how you bring up other nations, considering Japan has had no lock down, completely bungled their handling of the virus and they're not any worse off than most countries. Also could you please come up with new material other than forced soijack memes? You're getting awfully stale. Flattening the curve does not mean a return to normality. It means that hospitals have the proper capacity to accommodate patients. South Korea and Ontario have reduced measures and recently seen a big spike in covid cases. If you think the end is in sight you haven't been paying attention.
I swear, America is a third world country with a Gucci belt. "100,000 deaths? Irrelevant, so long as I can CONSOOM product and move on to next CONSOOMABLE product."

I would also like to point out Das that I am by no means passive about it. I have repeatedly told my coworkers before we shut down that if I had gotten the Kung Flu while we were still open I would make sure to come to work anyways and cough on everything. >passively wants to kill old people

Hair salons have been open since Mother's Day and Florida has not had an explosion of cases. We have been on the downward end of the curve for a while now and the point of the lock down was never to drop infection rates to zero; it was to "flatten the curve" as everyone likes to keep saying. So when are we going to get this massive explosion of new cases that's going to make the state of Florida look foolish? Another two weeks? Yeah, I haven't heard that one before. Unless you have a magical Covid crystal ball, it's going to be very hard to determine that and if indeed you passed anything on to anyone.
I find it weird how people still think viruses are transmitted by sneezing directly into someone's face. You could have been asymptomatic and been a spreader just by walking within 6 feet of someone. Authorities didn't just invent social distancing because they wanted to fuck with your freedumbs.

Life is good.
We're reopening the parks July 11 and I got my haircut today. Contrary to what some people are desperate to believe, the price of my haircut total was $15; no ones 97 year old grandmother with terminal butt cancer and hasn't left her house in twenty years died because of my haircut.

It's disappointing how quick he was to make such a comment, but I guess I shouldn't be too surprised considering how he found parts of the Konosuba movie to be "problematic". 
He is also a litteral cuckold BTW. His girlfriend does porn.

I don't think Verb was being condescending or saying that there's anything wrong with having simple explanations. I enjoy SoL titles far more than serious ones (usually because the more serious titles often end up being terrible); I'm watching Non Non Biyori and Sound! Euphonium right now and I don't have anything really to say about why I enjoy them other than "cute things are cute". But God damn, I do wish I could have a channel like Mother's Basement though. Not all of us feel obligated to write a sermon to validate our feelings on some cartoons. It's not that serious and we aren't running YouTube channels that get paid for it.

I just wanted to be competent with a more practical hobby. I consider myself well-read and somewhat in shape, but I'm lacking in something like this. Just being able to play decently for myself is more than enough for me. Yeah you'll need frequent lessons to be anywhere near competent but also a lot of practice just fucking around on the instrument to get to know it
What do you hope to do with the clarinet?
538
« on: May 26, 2020, 12:23:17 AM »
It would have to be in-person lessons from an instructor. Two of my four roommates are leaving at the end of this lease and the remaining two describe me as the "perfect roommate" because I'm so quiet so I'd rather not do anything to flip that sentiment upside down by blaring noise throughout the complex. So my options are either practice by myself in the middle of a barren parking lot or learn from somebody in a place designed for such use. I played trombone in high school
Are you teaching yourself or getting lesson?
Also go with rental until you're sure it's something you want to purchase

I'm not sure of it's just a passing interest that will fade with time but I've been giving serious thought about wanting to learn to play the clarinet. Regardless of whether or not I'll go through with it, I'll have to wait until I'm back to work anyways, a good beginner's clarinet starts at around $650. I've never played an instrument before in my life, which is partly what led me to choosing the clarinet over others. I originally thought about the oboe but they are not only significantly more expensive, but supposedly extremely difficult to play. The clarinet came up after some light research and supposedly it's no harder or easier than most instruments.
Has anyone ever played an instrument before? How was it? I'm still figuring out how to start if I do decide to go through with it.
