All of these are dreams. First of all, I'd like you to find a low level job ANYWHERE that pays overtime. Not one of my jobs I had durring school would let us work overtime. Hell, I was fired from Warehouse music for accidentally getting 2 hours overtime. Besides, would you bitch to someone at the drivers license branch for your property taxes being too high? Why not, they are the same government?
As for as cashiers reaching up the food chain, its obvious you have never worked entry level for a large company before. If I had ever done this I could expect anything from being ignored and shrugged off to told to quit my whining and get back to my register. I can't think of any retail job where employees pull more weight than a customer.
These days computers do the ordering and people just take the boxes off the truck, and others stock them. I dare you to find a non-commission cashier who gives a damn if they lose a sale or not. It was my jobs as a cashier that made me decide that I will not work with the public for the rest of my life because there are just too many idiots out there. Everyone wonders why the young generations are so cynical. Look at the people they have to put up with. Sure you meet some really nice people, but one a$$hole will make a stronger memory than 5 kind people.
If anyone wants to make a statement, do what normal humans do and ask for a manager. Until then, give me your money or quit wasting my time because you're holding up the line. As a cashier, I could't care less about how hard your life is.

Yea, life really sucks sometimes, but what ya gonna do? You can't kill EVERYONE...
or can you...
I used to run a register and I *HATE* people like you. Like the cashier has a damn thing to do with it. You put them thru more work for something they have no control over. Think, brother, think. Is he or she going to say anything to the boss? I doubt it, they are just there trying to make a buck on minimum wage and couldn't care less. By the end of the day, what you did will just blend in with the rest of the fools. Maybe you should find a better way of protesting.
Does this mean it's OK to call differently abled people cripples again? They did such a good job of making PC the norm, and now risk riddicule again by taking offense to something that has nothing to do with them.
It's very hard to take an eraser to the american lexicon, especially when you keep drawing attention to it.
Lesson #1. America isn't free economy and hasn't been for a long time. It is a capitalist economy which is simply a glorified pyramid scheme. Those at the top make sure they stay there. "Screw the people at the bottom because the society I take so much from doesn't owe me jack."
At least in communism and socialism everyone is screwed equally and not given false hopes of a better life. Compassionate conservative must mean they wear a comforting face when they rape you for everything you are, and ever will be, worth.
I am going to patent the cyan, yellow, and magenta part of the spectrum. Anyone who attempts to make or use a device that produces white light now owes me money.
Anyone who has been using it owes me damages. I think I am rich, but I am not. Who can I sue for perceived damages? God forbid I take some LSD and really alter my perception, then you are all screwed, and the courts will help me!!!
Welcome to AmeriKKKa, where mob rule can legally run you into the ground.
Why can nobody make the separation between the tangible and the intangible? I'm in a country filled with idiots! Here is the simplest lesson for you learning impaired: If you can touch or hold it (is it a noun?), it is stealing. If you can't, it is copyright infringement. Is that too hard to follow?
No wonder our politicians are so dumb and backwards, look at the people who they represent.
Copyright infringement is a victimless crime, like punching somebody in the dark.
Thats not completely accurate.
money = freedom
It just so happens that corporations have most of the money, along with people at the top of them.
A good example is pollution. America has a law on the books that says a company can't be fined more than $10,000 (or somewhere around there) a day for illegal polluting. What happens if they are saving $100,000 a day by not following the rules? "Go ahead, fine me."
A couple years ago a bill started going through the House that would up that figure to $1 million. Needless to say it was smashed in the senate by some hard cor lobbying.
The US exists in a black hole of logic where standard laws and rules don't exist like they do in normal space. Hype, hysteria, and dirty money feed this black hole and make it's effects stronger by the day.
My cousin got suspended from high school for a wekk and forced into anger management on the threat of expulsion (which translates into not graduating on time) because a random locker search tuned up some PMS pills and a nail file. If you think I'm joking, I'm dead serious. As a result, she graduated on time, ranked #1 out of 400 something, but could not be valedictorian.
Yes, school still teaches us important lessons about society. She now attends a college in canada and is looking for a citizen to marry before she graduates.
Welcome to AmeriKKKa
Let those fools on earth starve. A human utopia on mars can be made since man will know better than to create religion again. Maybe then we can get it right. Then by the time humans are dead on earth, the biosphere may have begun to repair itself. Then earth can be repopulated.
Besides, if it is just pure hydrogen, it shouldn't be too much longer before we can use magnets and electricity in order to turn smaller atoms into bigger ones (such as hydrogen into oxygen). Wait a minute....
Why?
"OK, glad to see we all made the trip. Time to start that micro-nuclear reactor and get us some power so we can drill and get ice for melting. We need to grow that crop."
Try this at home. Mix 5 parts water to 1 part dirt and freeze. Now find a way to use heat in order to get water. Now you can drink, grow crops, produce oxygen for breathing and hydrogen for rocket feul. Damn useless water.
That can't be proven or disproved. A handful of missions have not been able to reveal the workings of the entire planet. Absolute zero is the only way for the impossibility of zero chemical reactions. Maybe some of those amino acids and other compounds formed back when mars had liquid water. Maybe life continues on some levels deep below the surface. We don't know, and probably won't until we get some manned missions out there, if even then.
Keep in mind that Earth has bacteria that live hundreds, even thousands, of meters below tectonic zones and are stirred up and out of geothermal vents miles below the oceans surface by plate movements. They live via chemosynthesis, living off what the Earth has lots of, sulphur. If Earth died and one day and looked like mars, they would have the best chances of survival.
EVERY religous text is propogated through modern day because of its' utter vagueness. It's so open to intreptation that people can twist nearly any passage around into whatever they want it to mean. That's why christianity has hundreds of sects from the benign non-denominational to the radically racist world church of the creator.
Religion is OK by me, so long as you keep it out of my laws, my science, and especially keep it off my doorstep at 7 in the morning. I love living in the bible belt. I turned 21 on a sunday. Stupid christians wouldn't even let me drink in my own house.
"Your mind makes it real"
Agreed. Religion is self supporting, circular logic. It has achieved perfection via its flaws; when circular logic is adopted as dogma, you can't disprove it. Blind faith is just that, blind. I'm comfortable with not having to know the answer to everything, which is why religion turns me off. It is pretensions enough to 'answer' those questions. If we don't understand it... it's gods will. Sorry, that's too easy.
Historically speaking, if religion were able to keep scientific advancement down (as it did through the middle ages), we'd be at the center of the universe, illness would be fixed only by bleeding/leeches/prayer, and we'd be 'purified' by pain and fire. All this because some people need to feel comfortable with... why they are...
It's rather complex, but I was over-simplifying. So to make myself clearer, I will simplify some more. Keep in mind this is all being stated in a very analogous and rather unscientific way in order to demonstrate a currently unproven theory.
If it were possible to look so deeply into space and matter, so far that you could not âoezoomâ in any further, it might resemble something like a bubbling liquid. Now, assume you could charge 2 separate planes (most any sort of matter), which are in near proximity, with an improbable amount of energy. Duplicate this somewhere else identically. The energy being displaced would, in theory, open a tunnel between two of these âoebubblesâ and bridge the two points. Of course this is just a theory since the energy required is beyond imagination and it requires the value of the infamous square root of negative one. But, at this time, it is still mathematically feasible. Discover how to find the square root of a negative and I'll make sure you become the most famous person in human history.
Let's assume that you download "Back That Thing Up" by Master P off Kaazaa. However, you do not own nor have you ever owned the album in which this song was originally distributed (I.E. you never purchased it). You just stole something. This is very simple. A song is something tangible.
Funny, i though tangible things were objects you could touch (ie. nouns... person, place, or thing). Take a lesson from our politicians, there is no right and wrong... just the lesser of two evils. These "artists" and executives have millions of more dollars than I will probably ever see, even if they never worried about online sharing.
Whats the worst that P2P villans can do, force them to cut back on the blow and hookers? Because of us they are (maybe) slightly less filthy-stinking rich... but still filthy... and rich all the same.
What about quantum intertwining? Create 2 nanoscopic black holes at opposite ends of the earth. Then find ways to alter the âspinâ(TM) of one, and the other should instantly alter to match. There are all sorts of weird and spooky things that we know little or nothing about.
Teleportation is simple, in theory. Just get 2 massive superconducting plates (a metal, for example) and place them very close together, just close enough that you can still walk between them. Then repeat at opposite end of the universe. Find a way to instantly, evenly charge all the atoms in all of the plates at the exact same time with the exact same energy properties and... Wooomph... teleportation. Oh, did I forget to mention you would need more energy than the sum of everything man has ever produced in our existence? Iâ(TM)ve heard estimates like the energy of a super massive star going supernova, but who knows. Then you have to contend with who-knows-what types of unknown forms of energy. Iâ(TM)m assuming weâ(TM)d probably need to be radiation proof to survive that. Lots of things look cool and useful on paper, but practicality is completely different.
Around the time the 486 came out, I gave my dad my old 286 so he could dial up (2400bps anyone) to the local classified listing BBS and read new listings days before they came out in print. He never touched anything besides procomm and the original simcity. He kept that damn thing until a thunderstorm took it out with a vengance (along with half the electronics in the house).
My mom got him a new dell last christmas, along with some dialup access. My nephew (9 years old) is over there on the weekends teaching him how to use the thing. Hes learning slowly, but at least hes learning. It doesnt help that hes the type that tries to "fix" "broken" things by pounding on the box with his fist. I can't tell you how many VCRs we threw away as a kid.
I'll give the guy credit tho. 90% of car troubles can be fixed by hitting them with a hammer in the right spot. I think the computer industry could take a lesson from this. I'd love to hit my box with a hammer from time to time.
Why do we have politicians? I thought prostitution was illegal in most places?
Ok, I figured it out. It can't be considered prostitution because both sides are being financially rewarded, not just one. This way it's more like the porn industry because one party which isn't involved in the physical act (RIAA) pays another party (the guberment) to screw the third party (the public).
The question is: will the guberment come after us with Ron Jeremy or Rick Needlemen?
Eat tainted meat, breathe polluted air, corporations will be the new government, bend over for the 1%, care only for yourself, vote republican or democrat.
By enlisting the help of the NSA. It would be the next logical step. They are the ONLY body capable of monitoring the ENTIRE world's communications in real time.
Just label suspected pirates as terrorists so that they may be held indefinately without reason or trial. Then they can be safely "disappeared".
Slashdot Mirror
I have written letters to politicians and record execs, thank you. What have you done besides make the wrong statement to the wrong people? Did you ask for a manager? They might care you know. I gaurentee you that teenager dosen't give a damn about how hard your life is, because he or she has their own problems and you are just adding to their antisocial, cynical nature. I couldn't get a way with it, but I can't tell you how many times I wanted to scream "I don't give a f@©k" in the customers face. If anything, they will NOT tell their manager just to spite you and your kind. I know I did.
If an idiot screams, and no one cares, does he make a sound?
All of these are dreams. First of all, I'd like you to find a low level job ANYWHERE that pays overtime. Not one of my jobs I had durring school would let us work overtime.
