If business wants experience, they have to pay the price (in $$$). If they don't want the experience, they'll end up paying for that choice too. We are not replaceable cogs, much as they want to believe otherwise.
No skin off my nose any more - I've already had my fill of bs from this toxic industry.
Do you really want your friends in your social life to be the nerds and geeks you work with? I'm not THAT dysfunctional to think any good can come from that.
Business today does hiring based on money. When they can get two newbs for the price of one experienced person, they take the 2 newbs, because they don't understand that IT workers aren't replaceable cogs. And this way, when the inevitable fubar happens, they can blame it on the workers instead of their own incompetence.
“In these days of political correctness” talking about no longer making jokes that denigrated people for their culture or for the colour of their skin. And I thought, “That’s not actually anything to do with ‘political correctness’. That’s just treating other people with respect.”
The prophet Carlin would be rolling in his grave. Next thing you know, I won't be allowed to make tranny jokes.
It's not okay to be 250 lbs and 5'4" unless you're a gorilla.
I guess they would say that a doctor who points out how unhealthy it is would be accused of fat-shaming too. We are in an obesity epidemic. Fat-shaming is needed, just as in the past shaming smokers worked. Ditto for shaming racists. Obesity is ugly and smelly and a huge health risk. If fat-shaming is what it takes, I for one welcome our fat-shaming overlords.
One person's perception of hate is another person's truth.
You would not believe how many people who label themselves as transgender get really unhinged when transsexuals say male cross-dressers don't belong in women's washrooms. F*ck the LGBT political correctness BS.
It was a quotation - I guess I mal-formed the quote tag. Just checked the source - I must have forgotten them. My bad. I gues that's what happens when you get to be in your mid-hundreds:-)
Scientists have always been going around testing therapies on humans. Louis Pasteur wasn't a doctor, but he injected has rabies vaccine in a boy who recovered. Pasteur also ate his own dog food
Pasteur himself was absolutely fearless. Anxious to secure a sample of saliva straight from the jaws of a rabid dog, I once saw him with the glass tube held between his lips draw a few drops of the deadly saliva from the mouth of a rabid bull-dog, held on the table by two assistants, their hands protected by leather gloves.
I was being facetious, plus the fact that the depression that's hung over me has once again abated, so I don't FEEL diseased. But I still have PTSD and Major Depressive Disorder so sure, I am definitely among the walking wounded of the mentally ill.
Of course, on the whole transsexual thing, I can't ever see myself de-transitioning. THAT would be mental.:-) Especially since it's impossible to restore everything even with the best of doctors. (no, I don't want a transplant. You could say I don't have the balls for it:-)
And yes, I've also still diseased retinas, and that's never going to change until I go completely blind and they remove the eyeballs (diseased retinas have a tendency to tear) since the individual is pretty much blind, and often can't tell, which adds complications and mandates the removal of the eye. The 10-year-old who was operated on just before me had to have his removed, and the other one will have to go at some point as well. I had a fairly long talk with her about service dogs and how they can help keep him from being further isolated - poor kid misses a lot of school, and he's mentally handicapped.
Estrogen from birth control pills and hormone replacement therapy have already caused disruptions in the endocrine systems of fish in lakes. Transsexual fishies.
Remember that the next time you're in a restaurant and they say "Try the fish."
And that's why we changed the laws here, so that outcomes are easily predictable. The judge won't even hear any reason for divorce except the desire of one or both parties to end the marriage, no reason required.
Contrary to what people want to believe, they ARE making progress in blocking VPNs. It's become a news story in Canada, where unblocking services are closing up shop because they stop working shortly after each time they're unblocked.
I'm continually amazed at how much importance their TV viewing is to people. I watch 3 local English and two local French OTA channels, and if there's nothing on that I'm interested (which happens a LOT during hockey season) there are plenty of other things to do.
Until you can prove otherwise, I'll stick with my statement. People are lazy. They are just going to click that remote until they find something interesting from what's available.

>However I fear you are a guy and not a girl :-/
The law disagrees with you. Do does science. So do my doctors. So there's no need to be afraid :-)
It's one letter off from "lazy". They were too lazy to think of a good name.

"the people who disagree with me, and I can't handle competing opinions or even facts at times." Facebook has prior art.

$10,000 is peanuts for the login credentials of a ton of facebook employees.
In today's Internet, Facebook hacks YOU!
My secret is forgetting to put the quote tags in place. Cut me some slack - after all I'm 130 years old :-)
It's not a database error or deleting. You commented on a duplicate article that we removed 2 minutes after realizing it was a dupe.
You're taking away our fun. We used to find 2, even 3 dupes (the trifecta) on the front page.
But seriously, deleting dupes is a good thing. Dupes have been a major complaint.

Transsexual fish are just as normal and valid as non-transsexual fish. You act like transexualism is a disease.
That's funny - I don't FEEL diseased. :-)
Serch slashdot. I already posted a story about fish being affected by estrogens in lakes. Or you can just search google.

The ends don't justify the means if the end result of those ends means that in the end you become the very thing you were fighting against. THE END.

Because smokers stink. Even 100 feet away, you still stink. You just don't notice it because, like farts, you've become used to your own smell.

More like "What do you expect from the Russian press?"
Most people won't bother to get the content by illegal means - they'll just watch something else from Netflix.
