headed by the gal who cleaned up Romania.

While Kövesi did a bunch of good stuff and got some convictions, Romania is far, far from clean as far as corruption goes.

Such a restriction on qualified investors is not the norm in most countries.

Yep, totally fine with it. You look, who knows what you might see!

I don’t know about this case, but private companies also have shares and can sell them out/issue them to other parties just like public companies. It’s just that it doesn’t happen via a stock exchange and a lot of what they do doesn’t need to be publicly disclosed.

This is good imo. Blizzard’s been rotting from the inside for years, and for this Microsoft deal to bring real change they need to let lots of the older employees go. Let’s see how it plays out.

Upvote for comma splice hatred.

I think the post is dumb but the logic is that it reflects on other women because millions of them think it’s a good love story (as per the post).

Nope. Ukraine was a lone wolf and Putin thought it’d be easy pickings (though I’m sure he realized pretty soon how much he fucked up), but no way he’s going up against nations that are part of actual defensive pacts.

Except that’s not true, and Russia had precedent already from 2014. Oh and also Ukraine is not in NATO or the EU. So not really that surprising that Russia tried something.

There is literally no connection between the two, wtf.

There is quite literally no chance of this. If it happens, I’ll buy you a year’s worth of beer.

Oat and soy milk ftw.

Yeah, total dick move given that working for Riot games is a fundamental human right. The bastards!

I hate that you don’t have more upvotes.

Yeah, that’s definitely what the conflict brought to light. Not the fact that people and most nations are happy to allow or even support literal genocide and ethnic cleansing as long as it’s done by people they like against people they don’t like.

I think asking for lowered compensation is definitely shitty and he should be condemned for that.

However, can someone explain to me the vitriolic opposition to downsizing/layoffs whenever this topic comes up?

I don’t see how anyone has a right be hired and work at X company. It is, after all, their company and their decision. Surely we can all agree that sometimes companies make strategic mistakes in terms of hiring and need to correct them later on. Also, circumstances could simply change, products be canceled or no longer need as much manpower etc.

What am I missing?

Yes, she was with Fred Noonan, her navigator.

Not the guy you replied to but central Barcelona was like that in 2020 at least.

Yeah. “I have to drive for 15 minutes to access an endless range of fresh produce. Food desert!”

Did you mix up your buzzwords?
