No, you can’t have a group of zero, so the counter doesn’t need to waste a position counting zero.

If you want to know more, knowyourmeme has a reasonably objective article.
My understanding is the drama from resulted in him leaving before BL3 was written

He should have asked “if BL3 is exclusive, will you buy it on that platform?” With the options
- Yes, if it’s steam
- Yes, if it’s Epic
- No
- STFU Randy, your breath smells like farts

I didn’t and still don’t care who got the writer’s WiiU, I just cared that the story was fun.

I hope he’s doing ok now.
deltapi@lemmy.worldto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•When you work for a company owned by a A..hole11·6 days agoSame in ours.
Myself and another guy went to a tech junket that was by invite only and they gave away a laptop to one person from each company who attended. My boss tried to take the laptop from the other guy saying “that was a gift and you need to turn it over to me”
I’d already cleared it with our corporate conflict of interest ombudsman - if I’d accepted it, it would have been an issue because I had purchasing authority, but other guy was “just” a tech who couldn’t sign off on anything or even make recommendations to anyone other than me, we didn’t have an existing business relationship with the vendor, and we’re not obligated to conduct any business with them as a result of the gift.
I told my boss to take it up with head-of-department (whom I’d copied in on the ombudsman comms.)
Other guy kept the laptop, and boss got ‘audited’ for gifts received (they pulled his emails) and was demoted into a position he wasn’t able to handle (more technical than he was capable of, but on paper should have been able to do) and pushed out of the company soon thereafter.

deltapi@lemmy.worldto Global News@lemmy.zip•The Plane That Crashed Yesterday Was the Same One a Dead Boeing Whistleblower Warned About11·22 days agoGeorge C. Boldt went from rags to millionaire when millionaire meant something. He was able to outright buy a competing hotel to the one he already owned less than 20 years after coming to America as a dish washer. This was in the late 1800s, before income tax and massive corporations.
In fact, it’s believed by many that Boldt’s story inspired F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Jay Gatsby.
Andrew Carnegie is another notable immigrant who went from near-naught to millionaire.
Or if we’re allowed to include Americans, John D. Rockefeller, and Henry Ford
As corporations grew and income tax was introduced, it became nearly impossible for someone working a menial job to put enough money away to ‘rise up’ and join the ranks of the elite. The most recent examples people cite, like Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, etc. came from wealth already.
Now, do you want to continue this discussion? If so, I kindly ask you stick to actual facts, and stop trying to insult me and/or inferring I wrote things that I didn’t.
