Shit. Well, as Sara Paretsky’s fictional detective, V.I. Warshawski, once opined, Americans have never been understanding of poverty, but since Reagan’s been elected, it’s become a crime almost as bad as child molesting.

Maybe, haha. I’ve just seen a few people who are like “WELL JUST FIND BETTER FRIENDS!”

I’ve just never understood it. I’m not being a meanspirited cockweasel when I wonder exactly what sort of social interactions people that oppose it have. Like it’s not some “Haha, people who disagree with me have no friends” tripe, I’m legitimately curious if they just don’t have friends that get offended at imagined…

Well, in theory, because I was a temp, there was no “negotiated” sick leave, but if I didn’t show up, I didn’t get paid, so...really, no skin off his nose.

I’m so sorry. Nobody should have to go through with this. This makes me absolutely sick. The more comments I read, the angrier I get that we are disposable beings to serve the rich. What the fuck is this, return of the Gilded Age? Why the fuck isn’t the Army paying for his care or ensuring he doesn’t have to go back…

The fact that none of the Bushes have done an honest day’s work in their lives and are millionaires and that hundreds of thousands of families work their asses off trying just to keep their heads above water is evidence that hard work does not equal wealth. The system is so rigged it’s not funny, and we are conned…

Some highlights, from their website:

Fuck Jeb. I hope he dies in a fire. I’m shocked (not at all, really) reading all of these comments where people are working up to 7 jobs to make ends meet.

World-class mathematician John Von Neumann was a principle architect of the hydrogen bomb, specializing in computer simulation of the fusion hydrodynamics. He was also familiar with the Prisoner’s Dilemma, and applied it to the 1950s global geopolitical situation. He ran the numbers and concluded that we should nuke…

They said the same thing about the impossibility of converting sub-accounts to master accounts, however we finally saw that feature implemented this year (about 8 years late to the party). I actually championed one of the many petition pages for the account upgrade feature and spent about 4 years asking for it. It did…

There’s this weird disconnect Repubs have between “earning more money” and “trying to get paid more by your employer”. One is praiseworthy and the other throws them into a foaming-mouth rage.

well, you are clearly a person that has few people messaging them to play online if you block everyone that gets a little salty cause you declined to play with them all week, or they just stop inviting you cause you keep declining. I also just don’t want to leave my game to decline like 30 msgs. It makes things easier…

I’m not very inclined when it comes to coding but yeah, that’s exactly what my IT friend theorized the last time someone brought it up. Seems likely.

I would do my best on the paper to get my best individual score. Then I would choose the option of 6 extra points and hope at least 10% of the class to do the same just to troll the other bastards who did not get their shit together.

Yeah, but in those cases it’s very likely that someone still had to go in and change it manually, on Sony’s end. Which just isn’t feasible for a service with millions of users.

And now all you need to do is make sure that all your platforms never ever made an assumption about something in the database.

Hey it was poor people who crashed the stock market remember?

Classic leech behavior! Mooching off their employers for “wages” so they can support their lifestyles. They become totally dependent on their paychecks. Makes ‘em lazy. If you ask me, entitlement is out of control in this country—people expecting compensation for their work instead of just appreciating the opportunity…

Um, according to several studies, Americans are WAY more productive than we used to be, but its the corporations/CEOs who are the only ones seeing that sweet extra cash, not the workers.
