"Their plan is to adapt the DRM that made $121.54 for Imogen Heap, make their own completely pre-mined altcoin and use that to somehow sell two million views of a sci-fi TV show about the Singularity."
You branched out from lying and misrepresenting to misquoting and envying my happiness. It's okay to feel jealous of those that are happier than yourself, just don't let it get out of hand.
Nyberg is not only a vicious troll but also a self-admitted child predator who's openly been given pictures of people's children for sexual gratification,
Yep, and this has been documented repeatedly. If I'm not mistaken, she's even admitted to most of it.
Nyberg, Quinn, Sarkesian, Shives...they're the new fascists.
Don't agree with them? Then you're automatically a racist/sexist/homophobe/transphobe etc etc etc. Look at what they tried to do to Dr. Phil Mason and tell me that's "fair play".
Welcome to Whack-A-Mole, where you get to try to keep the entire internet from saying things that other people find objectionable.
I understand their goal (and I even agree with it), but I suspect it's going to be a losing battle.
The real problem is that there are a million billion trolls and they have nothing better to do than find ways to get around twitter bans and the algorithms that try to detect unwanted behavior.
Your "advice' is completely and utterly useless for businesses that are targeted, they must answer unknown calls because they want new business.
Yep. At my wife's business I've told her no matter who calls, if they want money for something (anything) then it's a scam. Period. Now she just hangs up and goes about her business.
These scumbags are no different that the sleazy shits who call up and claim that you're late on your electric bill and threaten to turn off the power if you don't send them money via Western Union right away. (Or any of a hundred variations of this scam.)
"Fake Google Salesmen Are Actually SEO Telemarketers"
Allow me to be the first to say, "Duh".
I used to get these calls quite a bit. Then I started wasting their time and making their lives a living hell. I would quiz them on stuff, take forever to make up my mind, then change my mind, make them repeat themselves over and over again, and generally ruin their mood for the rest of the day. They'd be cursing by the time they hung up on me.:)
Eventually they stopped calling, lol. I almost miss them, it was kind of fun to creatively torture them and waste their time.
Your words had a certain relish to them. It might be a speculation, but you're certainly enjoying the thought.
I absolutely enjoy my life, no doubt about it.:)

If on the other hand fantasizing about how bad my life is makes you happy, then you need to have a good, long hard think about your life.
Thanks for the advice, but as I said, I'm not fantasizing about how bad your life is; it seems evident from the things you post that you're not a happy person. No need for me to fantasize about it.:)
-
You seem obsessed with how I have a worse life than you.
Not at all, just making an observation based on your behavior. Maybe things will get better for you. Maybe not.
That's odd, you see in post #52738023, you said precisely this:
No, that's contrasting, not comparing.
-
I don't get it.
I think we all realize that.
-
If you're as happy as you claim, why do fantasize that I am not?
I'm speculating, not fantasizing. You seem unhappy at your core, maybe it's your job, maybe it's your lack of social life or a partner, maybe it's just that you recognize most people have a negative opinion of you.
I'm guessing that's where the Silverlight installation came from. Must be one of those "malware definitions."
Makes perfect sense, as Silverlight qualifies as "malware" in my book. I don't have it, never use it, and yet somehow everything seems to work just fine without it.
No need to install half a gigabyte of Microsoft's bullshit code that has no value or utility for me.

God forbid you aren't able to change the color of your spaceship or change the alert sound to "the Rick 'Wubba Lubba Dub Dub' sound" until next week- I mean, this shit is of critical importance!!
I'm already very well off, which is why I have time to call out people like you for lying and misrepresenting what other people say.
You probably have to go to a job every day, all day and earn your tiny little paycheck at the behest of your masters, but not me. I sleep late most days and travel to various parts of the world with my wife from time to time, so "a nice beach with swaying palm trees" is nothing new to me.:)
Are you trying to say that North Korea, Iran, and Venezuela are somehow more technologically advanced because they measure their water using metric?
Nope, what I said was that we're about as backwards as it gets in terms of using the metric system.
Since virtually all scientific research has moved to the metric system, perhaps we should jump waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay ahead to the 1980's or so and do the same.
The metric system has so many advantages that I really should have to detail them here.
So when they ask me shit like "What elementary school did you go to?", I put something like, "Jm36*gdt22(ILD$". No amount of detective work is going to "uncover" that.
Well, that USED to be the case....
It's true, I'm a proud graduate of Jm36*gdt22(ILD$ Elementary school.

Oh good, I was afraid I was the only one who didn't understand a fucking word of the summary.
I recognized some of the words, but the meaning escapes me.
"Their plan is to adapt the DRM that made $121.54 for Imogen Heap, make their own completely pre-mined altcoin and use that to somehow sell two million views of a sci-fi TV show about the Singularity."
How about "no"? Does "no" work for you?

Better yet, hourly. And no reusing any of the characters you used in the last 20 passwords.

The tragedy of the commons, in other words.
99% of them are robo calls... nobody on the other end. I just hang up, and block the number.
Yes, since they've gone to robocalls there's no longer a human on the other end to harass and toy with. Very disappointing, but oh well.

...since earning power and tool "goodness" are not closely related.
Not always, but sometimes they are. If a tool is bad enough it'll negatively affect one's ability to earn with it.
But I wholeheartedly agree that most of the mainstream languages also suck, albeit in various different ways.
I'm guessing that's where the Silverlight installation came from. Must be one of those "malware definitions."

Here's the thing though, if you insist on comparing yourself to other people,
Then I guess it's a good thing I don't do that.
-
You don't even know me, after all, but trust me, you'll be happier that way.
Oh, I quite agree I'd be happier if I didn't know you, of that I have no doubt. I expect nearly everyone you know feels that way.
Fractional values are easier to come by with measurements divisible by 2, 3, 4, or 6 than with measurements that are only divisible by 2 or 5. )
Seems like dividing by 10 is easier, but that's just me.
How many yards in a mile? Errr....lessee, 5280 divided by 3....hang on, let me get a calculator.
How many meters in a kilometer? 1000.
the divisible-by-12 that the US units tend to follow is a lot better then base 10 when you think about it.
How so?

There are well-paid Java coders and poorly paid Java coders; there are well-paid PHP coders and poorly paid PHP coders.
And....what's your point? I thought you were discussing the merits of the language and how awful PHP is.
And I said, basically, that I don't care if other people think it's bad.
So, again, what's your point? Should I stop using PHP or was this just an opportunity for you to opine on what a terrible language it is?
We're not somehow backwards just because don't use fucking metric.
Well, umm, actually we are. The only countries in the world that don't use the metric system are the United States, Liberia, and Myanmar.
So yes, we're about as backwards as it gets in that respect.

Lol, no, not even if they paid me.
Look, I'll admit that I've done a LOT of shameful things for money, but even I have limits, low as they are.

Try not copying my insults.
I wouldn't have to if you were able to stop misquoting me and misrepresenting what I said. And remember, you've admitted to do that.
