I’ve done basic programming and I find it very tedious and boring. I was good at math in junior and high school, but I really find it isn’t all that math-centric. It’s more a question of how you are at tolerating repetitious data entry.
All I can say is, I’m glad Jeff Epstein is dead and some of those who helped promulgate his sickness are in jail also. Far too many men get away with the abuse of women in this society. These men are all mentally ill, and they all need to be jailed for the remainder of their lifetimes.
I like the name Robert, because it can be shortened to Rob, or Robby or Bob or Bobby. And it means “bright fame.” Tom is also a good name, and William or Bill.
Well you’re the expert on being full of shit so, I have to agree that you are indeed full of shit.
After you eat shit and grow some sort of brains out of the manure that’s left. YOU go to taco bell and try not to be mistaken for a pile of manure left on the floor, good luck with than one.
My argument was not about whether you could get napkins by asking for one. My argument is, if you’re going to open a god-damn fast food place, you better have the fucking decency to provide basic eating utensils such as napkins and straws, or else you can forget my business. You can’t tell me these places can’t “afford” to provide napkins and dispensers, that’s bullshit.
And what will that prove. You still haven’t answered that.
Well I’m not sure what the anger is for or what your point is. I’m sure most fast food places would give your napkins if you ask and it’s not being a “lunatic” to ask companies to provide basic utensils in a fast food restaurant. Just the opposite in fact.
That’s how our economy works, how it’s always worked. Get on the hamster wheel and don’t stop for 45 years but take breaks to spend what little money have to keep you in enough debt to stay on the hamster wheel for 45 years.
Well it is really dumb that, in a fast food restaurant (the high probability that you’re going to be eating in your car) they don’t even provide napkins or straws anymore. Yes we’re a spoiled country of brats, but who wants to see a bunch of bratty entitled people with taco bell grease all over their upturned noses?? I ask you.
Those fucking ghouls at Taco Bell, not providing us napkins! What a deprived nation we are. I had to wipe my face with a tree stump! You can’t get straws or drink lids anymore either at some restaurants. After all, the CEOS might have to forego an extra frog leg at dinner if they started providing us with napkins or straws for FREE.
Doesn’t matter, we all have downgraded putin’s human status from negative to non-existent. putin rhymes with sputum for a reason.
I usually am just posting my thoughts and am surprised when people get angry over them. I’m fine with someone disagreeing if they can be reasonable and thoughtful as you definitely were. I appreciate the amicability also!!!
Like when people keep asking “is so and so gay” (usually a celebrity). I mean, unless you’re trying to date that person, what difference does it make. Whatever they do behind closed doors - you’re probably not getting an engraved invitation to join in, so give it a rest!!
Because other people are stupid and wrong about everything. (!) At least that’s how most people view everyone else in the world.
Well I have to concede that I was very narrow and harsh in my statement that all people are monsters, bar none. I agree with the idea that good and evil are not objective and are mostly subjective. We use our labels to say, “I’m with the GOOD group, the salvageable and honorable ones” and to segregate ourselves from others we deem unworthy. We’re very tribal that way.
Sadly many of the trump supporters DO have zero regret and inability or unwillingness to see why what they did was so monumentally horrific. Animals do sometimes kill for “fun,” if you can see it as that - I’ve seen footage of chimps torturing and killing their own kind just to pass the time. Somehow it still makes me recoil and see such acts as horrific.
And like you I have Republican acquaintances who find what happened on Jan 6th utterly repugnant, so yes I do agree such people exist. I have mostly distanced myself from these people, because I find I’m afraid to even be around republican-affiliated people anymore.
I’m just putting my ideas out there - not trying to argue for against humanity’s capacity for goodness. At the end of Camelot King Arthur says, “some of the drops do sparkle.” Not many, but some. We can only hope the ones that sparkle are powerful enough to outshine the waves of those who would drown us all in violence, crime, and stupidity.
I appreciate your thoughts and feedback.
I’ve yet to see the big wigs even do 3 hours of actual work during a work day, let alone the kind of physical labor that factory floor workers have to perform all day long. In the last company I worked for (and I’m now retired) there were 34 managers on my floor, and 3 of us doing sales, customer service, repair, delivery, and distribution for the company. The managers mostly spent time on Amazon, but often had meetings to decide what they could do to prompt us to work harder with more duties.
No not all, but people who study violence (such as the council on criminal justice) have found that more and more humans lack the (previously thought to be innate) traits of empathy and kindness. We live in a world where shooting people in video games is perfectly OK and causing death is entertainment.
I play God of War (and House of the Dead) so I can’t say that I’m above any of that. Only that I see how it dissuades people from being able to care very much and even enables some people to murder others for fun. For every mass shooter who plays violent video games, there’s 10 million more playing those same games that aren’t mass murderers.
But, and this is the big BUT, violent media (even if it is big business) does inure people to feelings of empathy and compassion, it accustoms people to seeing acts of violence, and it even makes it seem like nothing but a game. These are just my thoughts - not moral judgments about what others do with their free time.
True enough. There are kind people out there, but they get drowned out by the ocean of evil and corruption that overwhelms our world.
Cheap one ply toilet paper will make you question whether there really is a god or not. I’d sooner wipe my backside with a corn cob.
