Not even what I'm saying.

Literally the only thing you stated in the opening post.

You'd rather have corruption than have to listen to them being prosecuted?

dumb topic

go stick your head in the sand then

Yeah we should base all political decisions based on what grumpy people are tired of hearing about

Trump went into presidency, thinking that being president of the United State would be a marathon of easy tasks, short meetings, waving to the camera, and would be able to go golfing in all the free time.

why would anyone think this? that's his own fault if he thought that.

Coca-Cola has announced plans to cut about 20 per cent of it corporate workforce, as the company battles a drop in sales due to falling demand for its sugary drinks.

The US firm said it will cut 1,200 jobs starting later this year as it increases its cost-cutting target by $800m and is now expecting to save $3.8bn by 2019.

This represents about a 22 per cent reduction of its 5,500 corporate staff or a 1 per cent reduction in its total workforce of 100,300 employees, according to figures by FactSet, cited by AP.

Global sales of Coca-Cola's fizzy drinks fell by one per cent for the first three months of 2017 as health-conscious consumers across the US and Europe are increasingly shying away from drinks with a high sugar content.

Coca-Cola said it expects full-year adjusted profits to drop by between 1 to 3 per cent, compared with a 1 to 4 per cent decline it had forecast in February.

The cost-cutting comes as drink and food manufacturers find themselves on a never-ending quest for more healthy ways to sweeten products, pressured by a consumer trend toward healthier products.

Nestlé, the company behind KitKat and Aero, last year claimed it made a scientific breakthrough that has the potential to reduce sugar in its treats by up to 40 per cent, without affecting the taste.

It followed PepsiCo’s commitment to spend billions of dollars creating new snacks and beverages, and reformulating existing ones to cut salt, sugar and fat content.

Coca-cola, last year, also changed its Coke Zero recipe and renamed it Coca-Cola Zero Sugar in the UK to make it “taste more and look more” like the original one, the company said.

The move to replace Coke Zero was supported by a £10m campaign.

You can already do about 80% of that list now without being Batman. What is stopping you exactly from you saying something to the person using their phone while watching a movie?

GENEVA: North Korea has agreed to host a UN rights expert for the first time, granting access next week to the special rapporteur on disabled people's rights, the world body said on Thursday.

Catalina Devandas-Aguilar is scheduled to arrive in the isolated nation on Wednesday following an invitation from Pyongyang, the UN rights office said in a statement.

Her visit "will be the first ever to the country by an independent expert designated by the UN Human Rights Council," the statement said.

The rights council has accused North Korea of committing crimes against humanity and detaining up to 120,000 people in brutal prison camps.

The North Korean regime last month boycotted a rights council session scrutinising its record, branding the body's work a "mere political attack".

Devandas-Aguilar said the upcoming visit marked a important chance to study the situation in the country, with a particular focus on children living with disabilities.

"My upcoming visit to DPRK (Democratic People's Republic of Korea) represents a key opportunity to learn firsthand about national realities, laws, policies and programmes concerning people with disabilities," she said in the statement.

Pyongyang last December ratified an international convention on the rights of disabled people.

Devandas-Aguilar said she would explore the challenges and opportunities the government faced in implementing that pact.

During her six-day mission, the expert will visit Pyongyang and the South Hwanghae Province, followed by a press conference in the capital on the final day, the UN said.

Hope your exams go well. Fuck, I remember those all-to-well.

It was okay. Worked, ate lunch, worked some more, went home. Another day; another dollar.

I only need to make an 83 on the exam to make an A in the course. My exam average is 86, so I'm a teeny bit worried.

I wish I was making money ;-; what'd you have for lunch?

You're going on a blinddate with the man/woman of your dreams but the last thing you googeled is the only subject you're allowed to talk about, how screwed are you? (self.AskReddit)

It has been like that in businesses for years, no one uses Word anymore.

Although, I have to draw back attention to your comment that "no one uses Word anymore". That's factually wrong.

Over one billion users using Microsoft Office is far from "no one".

I don't know why you keep posting that since Office is not just Word.

Office includes Exchange, OneNote (which I use all the time), Powerpoint, Excel, Access, etc. That is like saying billions of people use Internet Explorer because it comes with Windows even though any usage statistic will tell you that is not the case.

Uhhh efficiency?

It is pretty inefficient to use Word to collaborate on a document when that document needs to be on my hard drive in order to make changes to it.

With HTML it can exist on an external server and we can both make modifications to it and see those modifications in real time.

Uhhhh-huh. I guess group drives and shared documents don't exist in your world.

The absolutely do.

My company hosts a Jive server that contains all of our documentation which as I mentioned before is in HTML markup. This server essentially functions like a social media hub where it hosts documents, blogs, picture repositories, status updates, group pages, etc. Now granted this is a larger company with hundreds of thousands of employees in over 100 countries so we can afford to host our own version of "corporate Facebook", but I understand most companies don't. Hell, the one I worked at before was a company of less then a thousand people. In those cases it is usually better to host a Wikimedia server on a development box. Basically, the same technology used in Wikipedia.

There is also the ability to setup a github on your computer if you want to share documents that way. It also gives you version control and the ability to merge when two people make an edit at the same time.

Also, are you carrying a balance on your credit card? It is inefficient to be putting money in a savings acct when you have credit card debt. A savings account makes ~1% max, while credit card balances cost ~20%+

Really dude? Might want to get a hearing test.

if I had to pay rent there is no way I would live with my parents. hell, I'm moving out even though they don't charge me rent and they buy me food.

You can do literally the same thing with a shared file in OneDrive. Create a file in Word or Excel, save it to your OneDrive, share it to friends and coworkers, and it's all stored on Microsoft's cloud.

But then that file is binary, and I am forced to use Microsoft's software to collaborate on that document. What if I am working on sensitive information that can't be shared on the cloud due to contractual obligations?

What if the person I am sharing the document with doesn't have access to Microsoft software due to their region blocking OneDrive as a security risk?

Better not move out anytime soon if your complaining already. Those fells when you are a grown up.

but getting paid at least twice a month means your next check is all savings, yea?

I don't, word processors are kind of useless.

I guess you could consider HTML markup as my word processor language if anything.

you help pay the mortgage huh

You pay rent and half the mortgage? What?

or why anybody would willingly want to move there to begin with

Being Chinese I can only assume my parents and grandparents chose to immigrate to Los Angeles due to the large Asian community that already existed. I can only guess it was easier getting to Los Angeles compared to New York for my grandparents.
