That's pretty funny. "Well, the Millenials fall for scams becuase they're gonig out into the world and are vulnerable, while the older people are just greedy and stupid for falling for them."
No. If you fall for an obvious scam, you're a moron. Full Stop. Hell, you've got the entire internet to warn you against them, people twenty years ago only had word of mouth. And only the tail end of the millennials are going out anywhere, the rest should already have settled in.
Millennials are more likely to fall for scams, less likely to divorce, more likely to eschew large amounts possessions, more likely to own a small home or rent. Apparently, Millennial are simply Victorians
One thing I've noticed. Classical art usually, by way of being judged for some time, strikes me as good. I can see the skill, and occasionally I'm wowed etc. So pretty much all of it gets a 80% Modern art, most of it I look at and think "eh, don't care" and it scores maybe a 5%. But every so often one pops up, and it's fantastic, possibly a 95%. And I don't know why. I think this is what they're going for.
You could alwasy use the taken speech. "I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you."
This doesn't work. In fact, when my dad tried something similar, the guy on the other end went into a weird spiel about how they crashed planes into our towers and we deserved it.
Even the spammers spam doesn't work anymore. Their spam system, oh, 80% doesn't even put me on with a real human when I press "1" to speak to a rep. It does a pause meaning there's no available rep, then hangs up.
Your sample is flawed. Yes, most criminals IN PRISON are idiots. But the fact they're in prison pretty much indicates that. it's like saying all race car drivers are bad drivers, but only sampling those involved in crashes and ignoring those who finish normally. It's the ones that never got caught you need to worry about.
I'm guessing you're one of those bitter childless tech workers, Probably in your case a mixture of lack of pay AND inability to attract anything that breathes.
While not far right, I would argue that while a business can do what they wish - within the law - it's a poor choice for a business to begin playing politics.
Every employee KNOWS the political leanings of their boss. We don't need you to show up at a group meeting and rattle on about it. We already know if we disagree with you in public over your beliefs, you will win. You control the money. Nobody needs anything other than company issues brought up at company meetings. Commenting on the presidential election was poor form by Google management, who like many upper executives begin believing their word is God's word. So stop it. I don't care if you like Bernie, or Trump, or Hilary , or libertarians, or the new Whig party. It's irrelevant to our workplace and I already know your views anyway,
Well, as long as you used a forceful No, then I should believe you. NO. You're the moron referred to earlier, who seems to feel if he screams enough at people they'll see the light, self flagellate to an appropriate level, declare you omnipotent, and do what you say. Instead of actually attempting a solution. So my answer is: Screw you, in your honor I think I'll go buy a few more things wrapped in plastic. I don't really want to, but your jerky attitude makes me want to flip you the bird.
I wish I had mod point to give, as you make two very good points 1-Many people can't seem to realize that doing little useless things is worse than doing nothing, as it keeps you from making actual, valuable changes. either through the time/effort involved, or just the whole "I did my good deed for the day" attitude. 2- Shaming/insulting those whose actions you wish to change is also worse than doing nothing, as you make them actively refuse to work with you.
yeah, we get it , you hate the other team. So you had to bring your idea into a discussion about cleaning up plastics that used the state as a size reference. Bravo.

Yes, the sane ones will withdraw to GALTS GULCH ;)

I'd pay to watch gosling juggling in microgravity.
So google voice adapts to the change or disappears. If I have to choose between spam and google voice disappearing, guess which one I'll choose?

None of my friends have the first digits of my phone. When I see that, I KNOW it's some loser and don't answer. It actually tells me they're a scam.
Cool. So then you won't have to uncomfortably look at those people who make you feel sad. Got it.
the extreme right and the extreme left both rotate around the end to the same, sad, pathetic place.

So, for you:
Blue State= enlightened cultured citizens
Red State= bumbling morons
I didn't' even vote for the that chump in the last election, but I can clearly see why he got elected.
I'm guessing you're one of those bitter childless tech workers, Probably in your case a mixture of lack of pay AND inability to attract anything that breathes.
I am unable to locate that author, "An Anthropologist". Perhaps you meant Anne Anthropologist?
it's not "California's Money", anymore than the money you may pay on taxes is "Trump's money".
"Someone else does something I think is stupid, so if we do something stupid, but slightly less so, then it's OK".
REALLY?

This, exactly this. It's why people in Prius' drive like asses.
Because they've already done their good deed buying the car.
Surprisingly, most problems in the world are a problem of horrible people . Only now, they don't recognize themselves as such.
