Top 10 anime betrayals 5 comments

Part 2:
I got to take over the work of several laid off coworkers, and come in at 4:30 AM many days to provide training to a team in China, and I wondered if I was training my replacements. When an emergency task came in, I had to start working on Sunday's because I was already coming in on Saturdays. Many days I thought my heart would explode. No other companies were hiring, and I was trying to figure out how to make it so if I did work in another state, my kids in high school would be able to stay at that school and not have to uproot for their last year or two. Plus, with the three largest companies in town going through bankruptcy, nobody wanted to buy a house here anyway.

So, I'm not posting this for sympathy, but so that you will see why plenty of people say that college (or high school) is the best time. You are responsible for you,and not a bunch of others as well.

When kids in high school or college complain about how tough it is, I recall being there myself. Having to hustle for shcolarships, part time job at minimum wage to pay for school, dealing with phonies and stupid people. But guess what. You're responsible for only yourself. In the future, you'll still have tight deadlines, unrealistic expectations, dealing with all kinds of terrible people, but you'll also get to be responsible for others, not just taking kids to appointments or whatever, but having to provide for them as well.

Man, did I lose sleep in 2009 when my company laid off 80% of the employees in our town, and the other two big employers went through bankruptcy so houses were worth nothing for those moving away to get others jobs (of which there were few, because of the terrible recession), and I was the sole income source for my wife and four kids. Not just the income, but health insurance as well.

I'd gladly trade that for having three finals & a term paper due.

I read the one on the right. It's actually very good if you want the sort of "how to succeed in professional life and get along with people, get stuff done and not spin your wheels as much" type of advice that you might get from a successful uncle. Like all advice, it doesn't apply to everyone in all situations, but if you have a little common sense you can pick up some nuggets that apply to you. Obviously, you don't treat it like a recipe book that you follow without question.

I also like "How to Win Friends and Influence People" and "Swim With the Sharks Without Being Eaten."

"Doctors say we need gun control." Yeah, being highly educated in repairing human anatomy makes you an expert in social dynamics and consequences of laws. Have you noticed that gun violence in the US has INCREASED as we've added more and stricter gun laws?

And the main thing I've noticed that the "do something about climate change" people do is to drive all around protesting climate change, and worship people who fly to other countries to discuss and "raise awareness" of climate change. They don't actually do,anything that actually DOES improve the climate change situation, just propose laws restricting what others can do and add taxes to things that they don't think will affect themselves.

Being Black in America Means You Can Do No Good 4 comments

Because only in the last year or two have we ratcheted offense and grievance from an 8 to a 9.5.

OK, so they say "ex con" in the headline. That gives more info in less space than giving his name. The headline is SUPPOSED to draw you in to read the article. Did they not mention the name in the article? Of course they did. But yeah, if you only skim headlines you'll miss important details.

Racism? I'll bet that they'd have made the same headline/tagline on a white ex-con as well. But then the offense seekers would say "Oh, you have to point out that a white guy is an 'ex con' because you just assume all Black men are."

Julian Assange arrest 22 comments
guest · 4 years ago
Agreed.

It's illegal in every country to spy on them, but every country has spies in other nations. So, if we are going to be the only country that obeys the law, we're going to be at a serious disadvantage both economically and also in security. But if you grant that we need to do what every country does but denies doing, don't we need to keep a lot of stuff secret, like,identities and even what we found out? In WWII, one of the biggest secrets was that we had the codes broken for both the Germans and Japanese. If that got out, they'd change the coding method.
It's true tho 6 comments

Can't help but notice that what used to be called a centrist political position is now "far right." As we've voted farther and farther to the left, things have gotten progressively worse.

One example, not,economic, is how students used to bring hunting rifles to school to leave on a hunting trip straight from there. Nobody shot up a school. Now, after decades of MORE LAWS, gun violence is higher, and the "solution" is more laws for the law-abiding to obey, but the law breakers are willing to break seven or eight instead of just five.

But, yeah, keep voting for more "free stuff" like health insurance or college tuition or generous welfare benefits for illegal immigrants, and imagine that it'll be paid for by taxing "the rich."

Alternatively, people who are really or live in "bad" areas typically don't have a lot of nature or relaxing type of surroundings, so it's not the green necessarily causing problems but indicating the presence of the actual causes. So, getting some green parks into a poor area may not have any positive effects.

But, as always, "scientists say that..." <some bizarre conclusion not supported by the facts> when in reality some scientists made a study that the media misinterpreted.

Hexagonal Graph paper for organic chemistry 2 comments

I have paper like that from back when war games were played on paper instead of computers. A hex pattern is more realistic for move,net than squares...with squares, to go four squares forward and three squares left takes seven moves, but with hex it's more like following a line so the number of moves is more realistic.

I'm glad he won, but isn't that all part of "business?" One side tries to maximize what they'll get and so does the other? Sears took on a risk that the invention wouldn't take off, and the risk paid off because the ratchet did prove popular. But there are tons of things that get tooled up at no minor cost and distributed but the thing just doesn't catch on. Also, if the value of the invention was so clear, didn't someone else offer him more?

Since he won, maybe Sears misrepresented their side of the negotiations, but it seems naive to think that anybody buying something off you is going to have your interests at heart.

SJWs: It's terrible that people hunt for sport, even though the fees pay for most of the wildlife conservation costs.

Also SJWs: This Native American tribe NEEDS to hunt and kill this particular kind of endangered whale because their ancestors did, even though their ancestors didn't have outboard motor powered boats or guns that shoot the harpoons.

1. When they find ever more ancient scrolls from what became the Jewish or Christian bibles, or writings that let them translate items they already have but can't understand (like the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls), they find an amazing level of consistency.

2. This guy finds a way to denigrate the beliefs of people whose book tends to encourage them to be better people even by worldly standards (although certainly some are doing a really bad job of it). He doesn't have anything to say about the religions whose book says to harm or kill non-believers. Huh, wonder why.

3. As I've been around the world doing volunteer work, it's only Christians who ever have hospitals or well digging programs or clinics or whatever that they put on for the benefit of "the masses." Other groups only help thief own people, or believe that if something's wrong in your life, it was brought on you by your own actions or those of your parents/ancestors, so it would violate karma to help you.

Also, when someone asks me to fix something electrical (I'm a mechanical engineer at an electronics company), they always say, "I think it's a short." No, if it were "a short," the circuit breaker or fuse would have tripped. It's actually probably an "open," which is the opposite of a short. Tell me what the symptoms are, what happened right before, during and after the problem occurred, and what changes you made between when the thing worked and when it didn't. From fixing things on people's cars, the description is often really bad, like "the instruments suddenly went out while I was driving," when in actuality they turned the brightness all the way down accidentally, so it didn't happen while they were looking at the instruments as their story went.

You have to get the correct fit. If you just buy the brand based on commercials or what your friends like, you may not get the correct combination of waist, hips, butt, leg room, and crotch height. For me, Levi's never fit at all and Wranglers were worse. Lee or Sedgefield in a 32-34 fit my football,player butt and legs without being huge in the waist. Levis seem like they're designed for someone with what is medically termed "Noassatall.."
