While 700k may look like a lot (and by most objective measures it is), the skill set needed to run a successful non/not for profit is actually quite unique no matter how big or small it is. They do not work not like “normal” CEOs. Replace caring about share price, and moving the share price up effectively versus caring about voluntary donations from people who get nothing out of but perhaps a tax break. And you’re competing not against other equities (stocks); you’re competing against other non/not for profits for limited money and attention.

Anyway, just saying I do not begrudge that level of compensation to the people running the last corner of the internet not filled with AI slop.

Yes see comment above.

Also in case you were wondering the other guys is our sycophantic former PM, Mark Rutte (VVD, garage people party) who is now head of NATO. His recent nearly literally a love letter to the American Fascist was published recently. Most Dutch just shook their heads. Rutte casts himself as some kind of “Trump-whisperer,” but the things is, he probably actually believes the blow-job level shit he wrote.

I wasn’t going to get into how we form possessives; it will confuse and scare them.

A lot of them were Irish who buggered off to London after the Irish lost home rule. Led directly to the collapse of a lot of things.

IF you also have milk or some other source of dairy.

Thank you for saving me what would have been in infuriating click.

GHOW-da is about the closest English approximation. The G sound is quite different in Dutch though.

Do you have sauce for these? My sons would love to see them.

Did Stubb support this?!?

Spent two weeks on the West coast back in March. Some really tiny, tiny towns in the main Irish Gaelic speaking areas. Did not hear one word of Irish.

Compare this to when I was in the same area in late 1998, and in these small towns you’d still hear it often in the pubs. It is a damn shame, IMHO.

Years ago we had a hedgehog wander into garden just at dusk. My cat, who was always very curious, followed the hedgehog around for about 45 minutes as it rooted around for things. The hedgehog did not care at all when my cat sniffed him and (gently) touched him/her with his paws. They do not care.

I kinda fell like Gen Z gets this right, or more right more often than the others. My Gen Z son is autistic (super high functioning, until the crash comes and he’s out for a day or more).

But his friends all understand, and many of them, although NT, identify with some of the experiences atypical people have. And I’ve seen this with his friends in the States as well. Nobody gives him shit, everyone is accommodating without making a big deal out of it.

Just seems like Gen Z will get this one right, like they have many things. Older Gen Xer posting, just for reference. Like a lot of things, Xers just didn’t know better until someone showed us.

Doing the lord’s work here.

You’re getting downvoted but I think what you need to understand is that China can do nothing, and that still helps Russia. Instead, they are trading with them and keeping their economy afloat. They don’t have to send men/material to help.

But …crows are a type of corvid. So, you are not Unidan, but we may someday summon him yet.

Imma need that Gnocchi recipe k thanks.

Can’t we just have AskCulinary back? Please? Kenji…?

Unidan?
