    Your boss is incompetent if he can’t measure the work done without having his cattle in front of his eyes.

    Reddit already gives you far more freedom than a typical town square. How long do you think you would get away with displaying pictures of corpses and remarking about how hot they are in real life?

    Isn’t that what anti-abortion groups do?

    The asshole IT admin wasn't smart enough to cover his tracks.

    What the simple fuck did he think was going to happen next?

  4. This has been done before. on Amazon Is Reportedly Building a Doorbell That Lets Drivers Into Your House (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    50 years ago, many houses had “milk compartment”, a small box within the wall, with one door outside the house and another inside in which the milkman would leave the milk bottles (and take the empties).

    To this day, many apartment houses have an official postal lock whom the mailman uses to get in to put the mail in mailboxen.

    So, what’s to prevent the same from being used by Amazon?

    Or better, for big items, the house vestibule could be used, with another lock fitted on the inside door to prevent the delivery guy from going into the house.

    The problem is the for profit prison system. For a supposedly free nation, we incarcerate a lot of people. It's a shame none of our elected officials grasp this concept.

    Oh but they do. They completely grasp that this makes them look hard on crime, and they don’t increase taxes. In a land full of ignorant barbarians who cream at their pants at the barbaric concept of revenge, it’s a surefire way of getting elected.

    It’s actually very insightful, in the most insightful possible way: by describing the problem with only one word: “management”.

    More of the idiotic one line posts from this turkeydance moron. Why doesn't this clown get modded down? The real problem here is using prisons as a source of profit

    Turkeydance is far from being a moron: he pinpointed exactly the problem using only one word: “manglement”.

    It’s the management of prisons that is the culprit, by having prisons-for-profit that charge $15 per minute for phone calls.

    I agree with you that in Quebec, everything is more f**ked than everywhere else.

    That’s because we got so royally fucked by free enterprises that we have decided to gives ourselves a big government that corrects the damage done by free entreprise.

    Really check your frigging outrage. This is market working!

    This is all irrelevant. This happenned in Québec, and in Québec, we have the rule of law, and our law is far more reaching than US law, because we do not have common law, but the civil code, which is not precedent-driven (so the richest cannot purchase “justice”). And according to our civil code, what the dealership did was illegal, plain and simple.

    Older workers should adapt with the times, not vice versa. That's the only way progress will be made.

    As an old fart (look at my #), yes, old farts should adapt, but young squirts need to listen to old farts’ experience.

    The number of spaces preceding a statement determines the scope of that statement? Wow. That seems totally nonsensical to me.

    Of course it must feel “nonsensical” when you are used to a language whose scope is determined by characters who can be rearranged to remove all sense of cohesion

    At least, the significan whitespace enforces a readability standard that is, oddly enough, very similar to what other languages readability “best practices” dictate (but are not enforced at all)
