Tech Publisher O'Reilly Slashes Jobs
An anonymous reader writes "According to the Santa Rosa Press Democrat, geeky tech publisher O'Reilly Media has slashed 14% of its workforce, or 31 people. Founder and tech pundit Tim O'Reilly comments on the layoffs by exhorting people to 'get more with less.' According to the article, 'Just this week... both tech giant Google and book retailer Barnes & Noble announced their first layoffs ever. Other publishing houses, including HarperCollins, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, Random House, and Simon & Schuster have frozen salaries or cut jobs, or both.'"
I always wonder when this hemorrhage will stop. But at the same time, I have nobody to blame because most of us have been living a "lie," with [communist] China supporting our lifestyle.
Sometimes I think their model of communism is better than our capitalism. Why? Because they potentially can now control our government's priorities.
Hello, and think about your breathing.
Yes that's right, think about your breathing. Why you might ask? Well it's simple!
Your brain usually takes care of breathing for you, but whenever you remember this, you must manually breathe! If you don't you will die.
There are also many variations of this. For example, think about:
Blinking!
Swallowing saliva!
How your feet feel in your socks!
Your parents having hot sweaty sex!
In conclusion, the think about your breathing troll is simply unbeatable. These 4 words can be thrown randomly into article text trolls, into sigs, into anything, and once seen, will force the victim to take care of his breathing manually! This goes far beyond the simple annoying or insulting trolls of yesteryear.
In fact, by even responding to this troll, you are proving that it has claimed another victim -- You!
Think about crossing a street. How do you keep your feet from hitting the curb? You have to think about it and consciously adjust the length of your steps, or else you will trip over the curb. Think about it.
Every time I inject heroin, when I start to nod, I wake up suffocating. It's because I dont' think about breathing. When I'm on heroin, I have to think about breathing. If I don't I start to turn blue.
