  • Man Takes Stolen Boat on Joyride Dressed As Doctor

  • I avoided this issue by embracing the completely non-controversial "become a contractor" work schedule. When you're a temp they specifically want you NOT to work overtime without prior authorization - because they have to pay for it. And as a software dev I was always treated identically with employees, except for a few special things like some company meetings and offsite events - which I didn't want to attend anyway. And I got paid almost twice as much hourly than I would as an employee. Sure, I had to buy my own health insurance and didn't get paid time off, but when you double your salary those are non-issues. But what about job security? LOL what about layoffs? My job security was that there are always contract jobs everywhere.

  • I agree that wokeness is more enlightened than ignorance, but I also wonder how woke it is to scorn the less enlightened so hard.

  • Technically true and I get the point of the statement, but unquestioningly trusting a whole category of people is no smarter than mistrusting a whole category of people. We're all individuals with our own levels of honesty, spite, conscience, etc. No matter how much we decide to trust each other, in each case we still need to examine evidence and evaluate accusations objectively - a process Trump has avoided all his life.

  • It's also deluded fool bias.

  • Reminder: authority only exists because we let it.

  • Taking the black hat off the AI and putting it where it belongs? That's crazy talk!

  • I ignore boycotts because they tend to affect the common employees of the targeted company more than the CEOs they're aimed at. Congrats, you clicked on Brand X instead of Brand Y. Your uncle got laid off when the quarterly numbers went down, but a billionaire has $3 less now, and more importantly you feel like a hero. Way to go, Joan of Arc!

  • The Dark Backward (1991) - Judd Nelson and Bill Paxton play garbage men buddies in a trash-infested, dystopian city where everything pretty much sucks.

  • I think we're already productive enough, just not distributive enough.

  • Upvoting just because it's good to know this can happen.

  • Rooting the phone means playful nerds could potentially mess up radio frequencies, but they can already do that because they can build radios using readily available electronic components. We already have all kinds of regulations about radio use, and we go after people who actually cause problems.

  • 2008 called for you but they didn't leave a msg.

  • So... what did you say that link was?

  • Stand aside, Morticia! Your Mighty Morphin' bodyguard back there didn't stop us, and neither will you!

  • He's not wrong.

  • "If we let you control your phones you'll just mess them up!"

  • I remember when you could do anything at Zombo.com. Good news, everyone - you still can!
