Slashdot Mirror

"To me it's creepy when I look at something and all of a sudden it's chasing me all the way across the web" Cook said. "I don't like that."

At the same time movie attendance has been falling, the number of movie sequels has been climbing, hitting an all-time high of 40 in 2017. Not saying the relationship is causal (correlation and all that), but Hollywood might want to consider that possibility before it blames it all on piracy or home streaming or some other thing that's not their own fault.

The problem is that strategy causes no one to take California's concerns remotely seriously.

For example, prop 65 warnings are on everything and everywhere:

It has no teeth because pretty much everything has that label. Many companies add the label as a matter of course, even if they don't have any of the relevant chemicals in some products because it's easier to apply the label to everything than keep track of whether they need to or not. Additionally, some of the chemicals on the list are about as likely to cause cancer as non-ionizing radiation.

Heck even contact with most shipping pallets can cause a package to be contaminated with formaldehyde enough to be detected in some of the tests, so a company without a warning could be at risk from that despite it being a shipping company's fault.

"Christ, work retail for one weekend day "

What retail business would want this on the floor?

Imagine his reaction when someone calls him by his name, written on his name tag?

"WHAT KIND OF PERVERT USES PUBLICLY AVAILABLE INFORMATION! PLEASE BUY MY SHITTY EBOOKS!"

Scare off the customers, traumatize the kids?

No idea why you would cut yourself out of one of the best parts of life.

Because he looks like this?

"I've dated many girls over the years."

Sitting next to a unknown woman on the bus is not a "date", Chris. And at your age, dating "girls" is 30 years in the past, Chris. You are an arrested adolescent in the body of a tired, obese, and impotent failure.

" Most weren't interested "

No kidding.

"and value career over family"

Says the single virgin ranting about his revenue streams six times a day. The only stream here is your never-ending firehose of bullshit.

"Of course, I avoided the psychotic bitches like the plague"

And they wisely avoided the raving narcissistic sociopath. And you never even hugged a woman, Chris, how would you know what a "bitch" really is? You're a naive Christian boy with moist ears.

"Have enough of those in my extended family."

At this point, inbreeding is your only choice.

"I'm losing one pound per week with my current diet and exercise program" ...which you attribute to having been too stupid to notice that you overloaded the scale for ten years... and "losing" ten pounds when you bought a new scale.

You will die alone, with your 25$ from someone else's shoes that they use to actually exercise in...

"something is fundamentally broken with [creimer]"

Gee, ya think?

He is a broken man, I can't even begin to imagine the shaming, dysfunctional, and abusive childhood he must have experienced.

That's why his mental armor is so impressive. He's become a pathological narcissist to avoid confronting the banality of his reality. I particularly love the weight training comments he makes. He truly thinks he's more muscle than fat, despite weighing more than Dorian Yates at his peak.

Now, Dorian Yates looked like this.

creimer's stupid fat head with a beard looks like this.

Mind you, both Dorian and creimer are the same height. (BTW, go watch The Joe Rogan Experience with Dorian Yates. Fascinating!)

So try to imagine the complexity and depth of the perceptual and psychological self-deception required to look at yourself in the mirror, see neck rolls and think "Dorian Yates can go fuck off".

Let that sink in for a while. I have full body pics of creimer for the interested. Horrific. I think NATO banned these pictures.

Like everything else, labor price is about supply and demand. For a long time using foreign labor was extremely impractical on so many levels, no doubt Henry Ford had to primarily hire US workers to work on US plants to sell cars to the US population. When it became practical to use Chinese and Indian labor, this lead to a massive influx of unnaturally cheap labor. Look at this table and graph. In 2000 you could hire 30 Chinese workers for the price of one American, productivity was only 13% but you still got 4:1 on your money. Today it's 6 Chinese workers to one American, productivity is up to 38% and 2.3:1 on your money. If you take high-cost China vs low-cost US, you're down to 1.45:1.

No doubt labor costs are going to continue to rise in China. India too is on the rise, though not quite as much. Within the next 5-10 years it'll probably be roughly as expensive to manufacture in China as it is in the US and the massive negative wage pressure will be gone. Same thing with software and India, whether you like it or not it's a global market now and our wages aren't going to rise again until the other workers of the world push global wages higher. If you've seen at the GDP distribution of the world there used to be a big lump at the top in the western world, then actually a drop and then the world's poor. Check out the difference between 1970 and 2006. We just can't keep up the level of inequality we used to.

Anyhow, the problem that I have with sans-serif fonts is that they look childish.

From Slashdot's CSS: body { margin: 0; font:13px/1.5 Arial,sans-serif; background: rgb(204,204,204);} Or is Slashdot likewise childish? Is Volkswagen's branding childish?

That's what you see in books for children, when they are learning to read.

That's not what I remember seeing for the text in The Cat in the Hat and Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss. It looks like Times.

You wouldn't go out much if you looked like Mark Sobkow either.

Only cowards need to hide behind masks, the same as KKK and ISIL members.

Or people who look like you . Seriously, you walk around in public with that four-eyed mug and pudgy body? I bet you're a real hit with the ladies, especially when you're playing Selena Gomez, Adele, Lita Ford or some of your other shitty music, lol.

Also, Godwin, but nice attempt at trying to vilify the people who make it possible for you to have freedom.
