sudden joyous upturn of hope that he also expresses so superbly
You can really see that "joyous upturn of hope" at the end of the Lord of the Rings; After Frodo destroys the One Ring, he returns to the Shire and everything is just peachy-keen and happy! Classic Tolkien!
Well, that bricklayer might also be a member of the International Union of Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers. Perhaps you should ask your boss what he would think about you organizing the developers.
My Galaxy SIII is sitting on my desk at the office right now. I forgot it when I left early for the Elder Scrolls Online beta stress test that started at 3pm my local time. I cincerely hope that the alarm clock does not go off before I get in tomorrow.
And who are you? "Those expecting me to..."; who was expecting you to do anything? You wrote about some OS releases 7 or 8 years ago, and now you didn't even write anything up, you made an animated video?
I'm supposed to care about this guy why?
For white people with only a high school education, life in the US has become slightly worse each year since 1973. For them, there is no American Dream. Hard work is no longer enough.
My ancestry is caucasian, and I have a high-school diploma. My life is much, much better than that of my parents in 1973. I am in the top 17% based on income. And my income is from wages, not from investments or annuities or anything else.
For them, there is no American Dream.
No American Dream, really? How do you define the American Dream? Owning a home, providing for your children, giving them an opportunity for a better life; all of those are possible and achievable. Does not being white improve those opportunities? I don't think so. Does having post-high school education? Yes, but it doesn't mean that it is not otherwise achievable.
Hard work is no longer enough.
Hard work has never been enough. My ancestors worked hard as shit and died destitute. When a small minority of people control the vast amount of wealth, you are at their mercy. How hard you work might possibly make a difference, but it's much more likely that you will succeed because your parents have wealth and connections, or because you were just dumb lucky, or because you found a way to exploit the work of others to your own benefit. Hard work has never been a guarantee of, nor prerequisite for, success.
This is what you get when you have teenagers in their parents basement writing your operating system. You would get more professional behavior from a large, established corporation.
Oh, wait...

it is a very bad president
Come on, now. This is Obama's fault, too?

Sounds like Blizzard is taking over golf.

The Confederate States of America.
How would he like his precious satellites to get up in to space?
A balloon filled with unicorn farts.
Interesting idea. Instead of paying "market price" for what you want, you could pay the "iron price" instead.

They realized that it had too much gold when they noticed its name was showing as "Titan, of the Shattered Sun"...
Fortunately we don't need a gun to get to work.
Ah, you don't live in Stockton...

I see that you wrote this post complaining about the USA in English. You're welcome.
So who will survive in the long run? Those with the 8 cans of sugar or those who figure out how to recycle it.
The ones who consume their sugar in order to give themselves the energy to invade the recyclers, kill them, and take their technology.
If you can't win by making a better product, you can always win by passing a law to outlaw your competition. Sounds like a great idea!

You can attract a lot of flies with bullshit, too. Why would you want to attract flies?
Yeah. I always switch trains in Jamaica, Queens when I'm going down the street to see my Aunt Eileen.
Your mother wears combat boots!
This isn't a population of erudite people.
No, that's EverQuest...

Those are not real B00B5, either.
Sell the SUV and buy a light vehicle like a bike.
Yes, carry your kids, dogs, groceries, skis, camping equipment, fertilizer, and drive up into the mountains in the snow on a bike.
Dump the SUV, because it's a highly-inefficient form factor... A car is a better aerodynamic shape.
My SUV gets the exact same mileage in town as my friends car. 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4x4 vs. 2012 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible SS.
I've seen him lurking in the neighborhood for weeks
Wearing a hoodie and carrying iced tea and Skittles. I'm sure he was up to no good!
It's like asking people to look for brain damage caused by kneeling to pray to God, and I don't think that's too extreme a comparison.
I would think that it is more likely that the belief in a mystical man in the sky is caused by brain damage, not the other way around.
