    but there is no more place in the modern workforce for the over-30. Let's not delude them into thinking otherwise.

    So retirement at 30? Fucking shit hot. All these under 30 must be making so much to provide for everyone over 30 who is no longer able to work. Or should everyone have made enough by 30 to fund an additional 60 years of life? Tricky, but doable if you get everything handed down to you by generations that weren't full of shit though and you don't care about the next generation.

  3. Don't filter on age.

    Filter on union membership.

    Filter on intelligence and dickishness.

    At a job interview with Amazon they asked how many years experience did I have with Unix. When I replied over 25 years, one of them said how did you get 25 years and I said well I am 52, and I worked for Sun Micro. The lead said, "I wish you hadn't said that, now I can't hire you, too old". And it ended.

    So you got to the interview stage without them bothering to check your DoB? Right.

  5. a 54 year old fully experienced fully educated to university level programmer, engineer, lead.

    They don't put young people in charge and they don't give old people the grunt work.

  6. Time to make Facebook/Social Networks government-owned and privately operated.

    Why can't people get it through their thick skulls that Facebook is a corporation? It does not have to cater to everyone equally. If Zuck wanted Facebook to only connect African women between the ages of 35 and 50, he could and there's not a damned thing anyone could do about it. Sure he would lose advertising revenue, but its HIS COMPANY.

    So bakeries don't have to make cakes for gay weddings?

    More like they don't have to tell a subsection of gays how to make a cake.

  7. Trump University says it's just smart to hire junior workers and pay them less. Old farts in their 30s and beyond care about too many unimportant things like family and work life balance.

    Hillary lost, Mueller hasn't found anything on Trump, and the DoJ IG is about to drop a few large turds into "progressive" punch bowls all over the US.

    Get over it.

    Trump is a fucking idiot and any american who actually voted for him needs to have a word with themselves. Not saying you should've voted for Clinton but you never should have let Trump get that far. Jokers, the lot of you.

  8. Trump University says it's just smart to hire junior workers and pay them less. Old farts in their 30s and beyond care about too many unimportant things like family and work life balance.

    And the ones in their 70s care about accumulating power, giving jobs to their kids and playing golf.

  9. Battle Royale is the genre term but it pretty much got its idea from the hunger games

    Didn't hunger games get its idea from the film battle royale, who's name is a generic term for a large unorganised battle with lots of sides anyway.

  10. Unless they think they can patent a genre this'll end badly, especially as they are trying to jump back on the fortnite wagon with stuff like weapon skins, except cs:go was in before both of them with that, will they then have to pay to valve who will have to pay on to rainbow six for the multinational elite law enforcement aspect until it all comes back to doom who quitely pay on to maze war or something?

    Ask silicon knights how suing epic for something stupid goes.

  11. Aren't they always telling you not to give money to beggars too?

  12. This right here is what's wrong with your society. But hey, if you're fine with it being safer in a warzone than a school then and think kids getting shot up is par for the course then good for you.

    Well, dolphins are completely different from us as well, yet nobody has a problem calling them mammals instead of fish.

    It all depends on the definition. In fact, according to the Cambridge Dictionary, these cockroaches are definitely mammals. "Mammal, noun, any animal of which the female feeds her young on milk from her own body. "

    Yeah but follow it on, from the same site

    animal noun something that lives and moves but is not a human, bird, fish, or insect:

    So we're back to roaches not being mammals.

    The do indeed have six legs, but they also bear live offspring and feed them milk. Apart from them not being warm-blooded, that would almost make them mammals...

    Unless you are overweight with rolls of fat, how does bending over cause the upper part of your leg to bend (where the front pockets are)?

    Ummm ... because that's where your fucking hip joint is located?

    You must have some seriously defective pants or your body does not conform to normal human standards. I've never had a pair of pants where anything sitting in a front pocket is located over my hips and not further down my leg (almost halfway to my knee).

    The waist of your jeans aren't supposed to be hanging midway down your thighs.

    The pockets aren't on the waistline though are they?
