Holy fucking shit lmao, thank you for dusting off this old af meme and putting a smile on my face!

Rage bait doesn’t imply it’s a lie, it’s attempting to get others to engage by inciting anger. Not to mention that even if it did imply a lie, why did they blur the dates out? To make you think this was a recent change? Still falls in line with your definition of rage bait misleading you. It definitely was and still is rage bait.

Regarding the amounts of PTO, it depends on the company. Some companies don’t offer it, so if you get sick and can’t go to work then you can stay home and get better but you don’t get paid. Those jobs suck and from what I’ve seen those jobs have high turnover due to people going to other companies for better benefits, like getting PTO. Most companies offer it, but in limited amounts. I personally get 5 days a year of paid time off, not including vacation time/LOA/Floating holidays, but I’ve utilized 11 days this year, I just didn’t get paid for 6 of them. I think there are some companies that offer unlimited PTO, but I would guess those are only for experts in their fields and stuff.

PTO isn’t requested, it’s notified, as you described. If I get sick, I don’t ask my employer if I can take the day off, I tell them I’m not feeling well and I’ll be staying home and utilizing PTO. That’s how it’s worked for me at multiple different jobs.

PTO is the same as sick leave. Vacation is separate from PTO.

PTO != LOA

PTO is like if you got a cold and needed a day or two, LOA is like if a major fucking event/sickness took over and could potentially ruin your life and you have to be out of work for weeks/months/years. With LOA you still get paid, though you may get slightly less than your normal paycheck. Still a paycheck though, and after saving gas from driving in, or saving money from the train/bus/subway, or savings costs of electricity from powering on your PC/heater/AC or whatever else in order to work from home, it almost balances out.

Also, in at least where I’m from, retaliation is illegal and businesses get sued out the ass for it.

Some games will just automatically block Linux machines in their anticheat engines. This site is one that tracks online playability of games on Linux machines, or more specifically if a game will automatically block you simply because you’re playing on Linux.

It can also get you out of trouble if you needed a screenshot or copied text and you accidentally put something higher in the clipboard history. Source: it’s helped me get out of trouble a lot.

In my experience, gaming worked great on Linux Mint. Overall, you may encounter issues with online gaming but only because the servers will see you’re using Linux and decide you must be cheating. Not really an issue with Linux, more an issue with the devs not doing a proper job.

ProtonDB is a good resource to understand what games run well on Linux and what issues you may encounter.

Lemmy loves to trash talk America simply because it’s America. Every online platform has always had a poor perception of America (reddit, Digg, SomethingAwful, 4chan, etc), but Lemmy takes the cake. If this guy was from a different country, there wouldn’t be as much hatred in the comments for him. I’m just stating facts. Even if Harris got elected instead, it wouldn’t change the anti-America perception on this platform and there would still be people raging against him.

Glad we both agree that Lemmy loves to shit on Americans. Your need to elaborate exemplifies this statement, cause you can’t help but waste an opportunity to take the trash talk even further. I didn’t trash talk, but stated an honest fact about the perception of Americans on Lemmy, and look at all the downvotes I’m getting. I didn’t even defend it, just stating why Lemmy is so contradictory to the norm seen here while hating on the guy in the article. The sentiment here is either “hate America or gtfo”.

Lemmy caring about a shrine/monument that was built to commemorate a nation’s leader? What happened to all the anti-nationalism that’s seen heavily everywhere else on this platform?

To extend an olive branch - The US does deserve a lot of hate after this last election. I’m still dumbfounded that Kamalamaha didn’t win. We’ve been avoiding everything politics related lately because of how upset it’s made us.

Yeah he would be, that’s not the point of my comment nor the point of the comment I replied to. Would he get the same comments this thread is giving this guy? Nah. Lemmy loves to hate on Americans. If he was German or Swedish, the amount of vitriol would be very much lessened.

Now the gorillas are gonna go full Congo on them.
