Look I'm all for criticizing billionaires and all the other elites, but why do I care if he's doing good deeds for a selfish reason so long as he's still doing good deeds? I'm sure there are actual reasons he deserves criticism, I just can't see "yeah, Bill Gates does charitable stuff, but he only does it so people will say he does charitable stuff" as a valid criticism because at the end of the day regardless of his selfish desires he still did the charitable acts.

ye i kinda agree with you. Have any other top billionaires given billions to charity? musk, bezos...etc...?

No, he paid for it. He also paid Xerox for the tech that would later become windows & computer mice.

Steve Jobs is the one who stole everything.

steve jobs, did?

The deal is dead, you're blind if you don't see it. The rest will block it now a market has declared it. Microsoft have no way to appeal this decision and they're not going to sacrifice a market like the UK.

oh, you're confident in this? Did you want the deal to go through though, didn't care

I'm a Database Administrator and somedays I do nothing. The most I'll do is make sure last night's databases are backed up correctly in the morning via email alerts and that's it. I'm done for the day.

DBAs are highly sought over and if I can do it anyone of yall can do it.

ye, prob. most people can do it, but will they even hire you...etc..., no applicable degree ...etc...

RchHomieQuanChi posted...

Yes. I was a Service Desk Admin, then they promoted me to Jira Administrator.

I also work from home, so it's pretty much perfect.

oh, a degree must be required for this kind of work, though

SpiritSephiroth posted...

Tbh the whole acquisition is blatant monopolization of the industry.

ye, i kinda agree. But iirc most don't agree with you

RchHomieQuanChi posted...

My current job is like this, especially after automating a lot of manual processes. I do very little work day-to-day, but what the work that I do is important.

oh is this like a very white collar job, desk job?

Dishwasher

how do you get away with being a dish washer and doing very little work?

can you think of any that still exist? if they ever did exist in the past, there's less of them now, right?

Why would anyone do that? Its literally the cheapest thing I use on a daily basis. $1.50 worth lasts me more than 3 months.

yeah i agree. it doesn't really cost that much. Much less than toothpaste and toothbrushes.

Do all the countries have to approve this sale?

Stop targeting gamers smh

ye, what happens if the uk blocks it but the u.s. approves it?

first i've heard of the nobel prize, thing. How did he steal code, though?

No

how do you figure that they're not as good, though?

Every day, he preaches about God, how real he is, and how you need to accept him into your heart. He also gets angry at you when you don't pray with him.

chris pratt is very very religious? where did you hear this? iirc his father in law is Arnold, who is openly atheist

Bill Gates is basically the human analogue of Scrooge McDuck.

what? doesn't he give away much more than most billionaires, at least

WingsOfGood posted...

Why worship dumb billionaires?
He literally stole code

i don't worship him , i prob. just think a little more highly of him than most billionaires, which isn't saying much. He stole code? iirc i've vaguely heard of this. haven't read much on it

...away billions to charity? Iirc he would be. Heck even if he gave to charities at the same rate that arnault and musk and bezos currently do, then he might still be, not sure. Iirc those previous 3 have not signed the giving pledge like gates and buffet have

what kind of work is this, tc?

The zoom still sucks

those old , small digital cameras weren't really known for having great zoom either

...from like 5-10 yrs ago? Remember when those small point and shoot cameras were all the rage? Now you never even see people using them. Any of you know, are most good cell phone cameras maybe even better than a 7 yr old point and shoot? or are those old ones still better?

Not all denominations, no. My ex denomination didnt condemn gay people.

what denomination was this, though?

Sad_Face posted...

Why bother? Most people aren't even using their degrees as they can't find a job for what they studied for. And now we're heading to a technical revolution thanks to AI's disruption. AI is going to completely revamp what and how we learn.

ye, i agree with you on that. You really don't even use the stuff that you studied in college. Another thing, you really think that computers and a.i. will be able to do most jobs? So when is a machine gonna be able to make a burger and a pizza or cut someone's hair, without any human help?

The smartphone with the internet is probably number 1

It offers access to a world wide audio/video/text communication device, translators, all the math tools you could ever need, cameras, flashlights and access to the entire collection of human knowledge from a small screen in your pocket.

ye, i totally agree the cell phone and internet on your cell phone is way up there, too. You guys remember those pay phones that used to be around everywhere? they went the way of the dinosaurs. Though i don't know if i would put your seggestion at no. 1, though

It is not, no. Even from sheerly tech putting it higher than the computer itself, the mouse, the GUI, HDD's, and non-Assembly coding languages is a bit of a stretch.

really?

Yeah it sucked bad

how so? though
