Snap isn't a great game.

No, Snap is a pretty fun game. Its only problem is being on the shorter side but, for what it is, that's kinda expected.

eh as much as I love snap the fact that its short is much more of a problem given that it has almost no replay value
I tried to play it the other day and almost fell asleep since I knew where everything was lol

This is accurate

You know when they used to let you print your pictures out at Blockbuster and you could get rewards for taking pictures worth certain points? It was just memorization. I still loved the game but it was limited

Honest question here - but - do you get a severance if you quit? It thought they were only given if you were fired (Without a legitimate reason) or the company went out of business.

Someone care to explain to me how it works? Because I am confused now.

No, you don't get severance for quitting. Same way you don't get unemployment for quitting.

Actually, both would depend on situation.

People do get severances for quitting. But its usually a contractual deal. Example: Golden Parachute.

As for Unemployment for quitting: Ive done it twice. It depends on why you quit.

Right. It's much the same. You can't collect in those situations unless you fall under specific circumstances. Quitting because you realized you don't like coming into work does not qualify by any metric

I've only rarely seen this with At Home jobs, one of my friends just quit and when he filled out an unemployment application, he told them that he was laid off and he got approved for Unemployment. It's rare, but I can't see that happening for physical jobs.

That's weird because here the government would need to see your record of employment from your previous employer to confirm the pay history and also the status for the employee leaving. Which would specify quit.

Situations Where Severance Pay Is Required

Generally speaking, there are only two situations when an employer is legally required to offer severance pay. First, some states have laws that require employers to offer terminated employees severance pay when their terminations are due to a facility closing or the company is laying off a large number of employees. In these situations (and depending on the state's laws), employers may be required to give a small amount of severance pay. To find out more about the laws in your state, you should contact your state's labor department.

As for the second scenario, employers may be legally required to provide terminated employees with severance pay if they led their employees to believe that they would be paid severance. This is often evidenced by:

A written contract (often an employment contract) that calls for a severance package;
A promise contained in an employee handbook or book of personnel policies that tells employees that they will receive severance pay if they are terminated;
A history within the company of giving severance packages to other employees that are in the same or substantially the same positions as the terminated employee; or
An oral promise from the employer to the employee that he or she would receive severance pay upon termination.

There are many employers that often give severance packages to long-term employees that have been with the company for a substantial period of time, even without a legal requirement to do so. In addition to some employers feeling that this is the right thing to do to reward the employee's loyalty and hard work, it often softens the blow that can come with termination and can discourage a former employee from pursuing a lawsuit against the company. Remember that the happier you can keep employees that have been terminated, the less likely that those former employees will decide to sue your company.

Yeah uh you're not getting that for quitting

met all of the requirements for the severance package.

Fairly sure you need to be severed, not just leave, to get a severance package.

Incorrect. The handbook doesn't mention being fired or let go at all when referencing the severance package. Just a list of requirements (mostly time worked/position).

I get that I left them high and dry, but they wouldn't give me a notice if they fired me so I really could care less.

I don't know if any company that gives a severance package to an employee that quits without notice.

I'm really not surprised most you are defending spending $8 on $2 worth of food and acting as if that was a positive contribution on society.

It pays for your job man. I'd agree for my budget that's too indulgent but it might be fine for other people. Ever go out to a concert or something and buy food it's fucking expensive but you pay for the convenience of hot food at your location

well that's pretty damn disturbing...

one thing I'd watch out for, though, are jump cuts. (although, from the scale of the prank I don't think that matters.)

for example, this quote:

"yeah, they haven't quite developed, uh, <CUT>, what we call conscience, where you feel guilty about doing something wrong, that's developing, you're learning right and wrong. <CUT> if they haven't developed that yet, they can be very effective soldiers."

that's potentially a pretty horrifying thing to say, but with the cuts, it's hard to know if that's really how it was said. it doesn't sound obviously edited though, so maybe it's just camera switches, I'm not an expert at detecting that kind of thing.

Ihey had a man with guns with puppets on them telling kids to feed the puppet bullets

Article 43, Subsection A: An individual the indictment identifies only as "a known member of congress" contacted an online GRU dummy persona, ("Guccifer 2.0") and requested stolen documents related to their political opponent, and the GRU / "Guccifer" responded by giving said member of congress access to the stolen data they were requesting.

Article 43, Subsection B: The GRU released stolen documents to what the indictment identifies as "a lobbyist and online source of political news."

Subsection C: "Guccifer" / The GRU sent stolen documents pertaining to the "Black Lives Matter" movement to a reporter (unidentified in the indictment), to which the reporter not only responded, but offered to write an article using said information.

Article 44: The GRU, posing as "Guccifer 2.0" wrote to a person who was in regular contact with SENIOR MEMBERS OF THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN. (The indictment includes direct quotes of their online conversation, and this is CLEARLY referring to Roger Stone).

Article 45, subsection B: The GRU, using an alias, contacted a U.S. reporter (unnamed in the indictment) and ultimately gave them access to stolen DNC data.

Articles 47-49: Here the indictment refers to an organization, identified only as "Organization 1," [I'm thinking, Wikileaks] -which actually reached out to the GRU aliases seeking the stolen emails / data. "Organization 1" is directly quoted by the indictment as having communicated to "Guccifer," that they should "send [Organization 1] any new material [i.e., stolen data] here for us to review and it will have a much higher impact than what you are doing." Organization 1 was given, and later released, said data, approximately 3 days before the Democratic National Convention. In total, between October and November of 2016, over 50,000 stolen documents were released.

Articles 50-79 : Lists the counts against the 11 Russian Military Personnel, which include charges of 1) Conspiracy to Commit Offenses Against The United States, 2) Aggravated Identity Theft, 3) Conspiracy to Launder Money [according to the indictment, over 95,000 USD$ was laundered], i.e. using cryptocurrency, that was then use to register domain names, set up websites, create server infrastructure, et. al.,3) The Use of Transferred Money To Commit Crimes Against The United States, 4) General Unlawful Conspiracy [It should be noted that many of these counts have sub-crimes attached to them, such as unlawful hacking, etc.].

This was a Russian conspiracy, massive in scope, involving the Trump campaign and directly undermining American democracy

Article 26 subsection A: By June 2016 the Russians had complete access to 33 DNC computers, totally and completely.

Article 27: The GRU gained access to information regarding DNC opposition research, field operation plans, and the Benghazi operation.

Article 28, subsection B: Aside from the server in Arizona, the GRU also stored data to a server in Illinois, to which they filtered large gigabytes of stolen information via a program they developed known as "X-Tunnel."

Article 32: The DNC became aware of Russian attempts to hack their servers and hired a security firm to identify the extent of the intrusions. The security firm (identified in the indictment only as "company 1") also put in place measures to halt GRU access to DNC computers, but, despite this, the GRU was so efficient that they continued to maintain access via "X-Agent" well through October of 2016.

Article 33: The GRU immediately became aware of "company 1's" (referring here to the security firm that the DNC hired) efforts, and took countermeasures in response. This included investigating / hacking "company 1" itself, and later, apparently as a retaliatory measure against the DNC, setting up a wesbsite that redirected from a DNC online political donations website, to another website set up by the GRU (in other words, the GRU took funds from DNC donors, using the pretext of a false DNC donations website).

Articles 35-36: The GRU set up another website, the sole purpose of which was to release stolen DNC documents. They created fake social media accounts that falsely attributed this website's creation to a group of "American hacktivists." It received over 1 million hits.

Article 37: The GRU has also released stolen documents dating back to 2015 (i.e., they've been up to this for quite a while).

Article 40: The notion of a "lone Romanian hacker" being responsible for the DNC leaks was a fiction deliberately created by the GRU and disseminated via fake social media accounts.

Article 42: Using a popular blogging site, the GRU set up a blog that used the most "searched for" keywords by conspiracy theorists, (e.g., "Illuminati," "Worldwide," "Conspiracy," et. al.), -and used this website to further disseminate the "lone Romanian hacker" conspiracy theory. (Article 46 of the indictment further states that later entries on this blog site posted articles positing that the released, stolen documents had "nothing to do with Russia.")

Let's go over exactly what the indictments mean and how that ties in to the administration

Article 1 of the indictment states that the Russian government actively set up multiple intelligence units (known as the GRU) with the sole aim of interfering with the 2016 election. Two of these units, 26165, and 74455, were specifically tasked with acquiring and releasing stolen documents via hacking.

Article 2 specifically calls this a "conspiracy" and states that the 12 indicted Russians had contacts with "persons known and unknown to the Grand Jury."

Article 3: The aforementioned Russian intelligence units deliberately targeted the Clinton campaign.

Article 4: They deliberately targeted the DNC as a whole.

Article 6: In June of 2016, they released TENS OF THOUSANDS of hacked documents using fictitious online personas.

Article 10: One of the intelligence officers, Boris Antonov, oversaw a department within 26165 tasked with hacking the U.S. military, governmental (i.e., political) and non-governmental organizations. [i.e., they were spying on every level of our gov't].

Articles 12-18: The Russian hackers often used various online aliases, both male and female, such as (but not limited to) "Kate Milton," "James McMorgans," and "Karen Millen." Sergey Morgachev, another Russian hacker, was a Lt. Colonel in the Russian military. He created the hacking malware used by dept. 26165, known as "X-Agent." Another hacker named in the indictment, Nikolay Kozachek, was a Lt. Captain in the Russian military. Artem Malyshev (also named in the indictment) was a Second Lieutenant in the Russian military. Aleksandr Osadchuk (also named in the indictment) is a Colonel in the Russian Military. He oversaw the creation and dissemination of anti-Clinton material online.

Article 19: Russian Military Officer Aleksey Potemkin, assigned to 74455, supervised the creation of fake social media accounts used (among other things) in the release of DNC documents.

Article 21: Over 300 individuals affiliated with the DNC were SUCCESSFULLY targeted. (Article 21 is lengthy, and includes a detailed, play-by-play account of how 26165 and 74455 achieved their aims. Spoiler alert: It's crazy).

Article 24, subsection B: The Russian's hacking of the DNC was so advanced that they were able to monitor individual computers in real time. Subsection C states that their malware sent actual screenshots of DNC computer activity to a server in Arizona that the Russians had access to. They were also able to capture keystrokes entered by DCCC employees.

Article 24, subsection D: They monitored individual DNC / DCCC employees for hours on end, and obtained information about DNC fundraising plans and even banking information (as well as other personal information).
