By reilo Go To PostQuarter Indian and three quarters white just tells me you can get a tanBruh the English are really good at telling if you aren't fully white. They invented modern racism. I'm sure Hitch has heard the term half caste more than a few times.
By reilo Go To PostPretty sure the British also invented classic racism, tooClassic racism is owned by the Roman Empire.

After 2 years of toiling away at the startup I work for, we today finally got news of the acquisition offer that we had been targeting for so long.
Except that the offer is much, much worse than anyone thought it would be, meaning none of use are getting anything from equity, and the acquiree has decided they won't need anyone of us after the buy so we've all been made redundant.
I'm not even that mad at the outcome, because we all knew this was a distinct possibility, but the wife has been going on and on about how things weren't gonna work out and I should have left several months ago, and now she's gonna be so damn annoying

that sucks hard. one of the reasons i never worked at a start up. the promise of maybe making money down the line is not something i can afford with a wife and kids. i like my security.

imagine if you did leave and they all get paid. Divorce
that's still a successful start up on your resume too
By reilo Go To PostThat sucks dude. I feel ya. I bet the owners made out with a great penny though.they did not, in fact they're getting fuck all after 6 years of work, so far worse than the rest of us. We're a pretty small company and there was no suggestion of anyone getting screwed over. Even the board of VC investors aren't gonna get their money back, and they're actually pretty shocked at the outcome.
The main problem is that the company that's purchasing us is a big Silicon Valley firm that's run by an absolute lunatic, basically just Gavin Belson from the show, and he's apparently left everyone, even his own exec team, stunned by his weird decision.
From what it sounds like the owner of the start up has already accepted because they are getting a lot of money? I assume that's what happening?
we basically put everything into this one basket of getting acquired - originally we were doing an alternate product, which is what i joined with, but that was never going to be able to support a full team, even of our tiny size, so we abandoned it to go for the acquisition strategy. Everyone was fully on board with this, but I wouldn't be surprised if the acquiring company knew that this was what we were doing, and just deliberately ran down the clock to force us into a position of accepting a shite deal or collapse.
By Kawhic Go To Postsounds like your bosses are hacks and got played like a fiddle.to an extent yeah, I think they went far too heavy into this strategy, but I should also mention that we literally have billionaire VC board members who are absolutely baffled at the offer we've received. At worst we were expecting an offer that didn't get anyone any equity cash, just jobs, not a stupid waste of time offer that destroys all the value in the company.
So sorry to hear sohois and I hope your wife can be a little empathetic to you wanting to take that risk but it not ultimately working out.
I assume the company you were hoping to be acquired by had no direct competitors that could also be interested in your product.

By i can get you a toe Go To PostWhat are you studying?drawing fundamentals. mostly figure drawing, construction and anatomy at the moment.
By i can get you a toe Go To PostOh cool. You interested in any particular drawing style after you go through the basics?Not particularly worried about style. That happens naturally. Just want to get to the point where I can make an industry standard commercial illustration and/or concept art/vis dev portfolio.

Talking about classic racism and not going into how darker indians have suffered compared to their lighter skinned ones for centuries.

Shocking
"A general belief seems to prevail in the Colony that the Indians are little better, if at all, than savages or the Natives of Africa. Even the children are taught to believe in that manner, with the result that the Indian is being dragged down to the position of a raw Kaffir."
-Gandhi
Oh wait.... not really.
Yeah, Ghandi's quotes about darker colored people are... something. You didnt even use the first sentence of that quote;
I venture to point out that both the English and the Indians spring from a common stock, called the Indo-Aryan.

This is how I imagine British elites looking at him after he said that.
By Wahabipapangus Go To PostRaw Kaffir
Ours is one continual struggle against a degradation sought to be inflicted upon us by the Europeans, who desire to degrade us to the level of the raw Kaffir whose occupation is hunting, and whose sole ambition is to collect a certain number of cattle to buy a wife with and, then, pass his life in indolence and nakedness.
Standup guy
