  1. Re:The Discrimination is about wages, not age on Online Job Sites May Block Older Workers (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    I guess a better idea is to spread the word that anyone trying to work for Roman Mironenko is likely to get shafted given he's practicing typical USA-style discrimination.

    Wonder how well that'd go for your business?

    I most certainly do need to be in constant contact with my coworkers, especially when I can't scream down the mine tunnel "Get out, detonation in five minutes" and have everybody hear me. But, I have a cell repeater installed in the mine, so I just SMS everyone, I wouldn't use Messenger because FaceBook cant program a solid anything for shit.

    What's more embarrassing is your inability to proof-read before submitting off the fucking handle like the majority of you tend to do.

    Yea, right. Pretty much all of us low-UID "lusers' are smart enough to use adblockers and script blockers so they don't get shit from us.

    You've never seen anything truly Carlin if all you've done is watch his HBO appearances and listen to his tapes.

    Try reading one of his books. He's VERY short and succinct in them with most points, with a lot of fuck thrown in for good measure.

    You're a fucking moron if you trust your power company to keep shit private, given history.

    "Hey, LEO, this guy's using a lot of power, looks like a grow operation going on with regular 12-hour and 18-hour power spikes on a timer."

    That you think privacy even exists is fucking laughable, it demonstrates just how ignorant of reality you truly are. Bet you voted Democrat, Republican, or Liberal, didn't you? It would figure, since none of you fuckers have a goddamned clue what rights you ignorantly sign away every fucking day by being inactive and ignorant fucks.

    "My "toy" car I just use for fun/at weekends (2008 Jaguar XKR) definately doesn't have any always-connected or "phone home" crap in it."

    You have ODB-III or similar system which can be read remotely by newer police vehicles. Before they've gotten out of the car to ask you "Do you know how fast you were going?" they already have that info down to RPM and which gear you were in, and whether you were using a turn signal or not. Not only that, but it will also tell the police if you have any malfunctioning equipment like sensors and such, so they can issue you a fix-it ticket on top of anything else they've got on you.

    You guys gave up your 4th Amendment rights long ago. That you didn't know about this simple thing about ODB-III is pretty much proof you don't really care, either.
