Great. What is your principled and nuanced approach to dealing with people from Al-Qaeda who will behead you if they get a chance unless you accept to live according to their interpretation of Islam? Or how do you propose to deal with those Mexican drug cartels who intercept buses in rural areas and force male passengers to fight each other to death while the female passengers are being raped and tortured?
See, you remind me of that movie, Demolition Man, where a future, peace-loving society has no way to defend themselves against a psychopath because their policing system, which relies on citations and verbal commands, doesn't work when the bad guy has a gun and no intention of surrendering.
Yes. And also we should dismantle the army and rely on the UN to solve the world's problems, because we know that deep down, diplomacy and trust is how countries like South Korea, Ukraine or Taiwan can be better protected against the ambitions of their neighbors.
I think if I was to consider suicide that's the one solution I'd pick because maybe, if the robbery is a success, I would give up on the second part of the plan and escape to Mexico or some other place where I could spend the rest of my life living like a king. Or at the very least, go to Vegas and have one hell of a nice weekend.
I'm curious. Could you name 10 of those "thousands of terrible things" that are more likely to happen to my wife and children, and that should be addressed before doing something as complex as buying a gun?
Next time a nutcase breaks into your house and rapes your wife and children, make sure to let him know that you're not violent, that should solve the problem.
Feminazis keep saying that it's not her fault, that she was set for failure, that is was a glass cliff. But she did everything wrong; antagonize business partners, antagonize paying customers, shutdown profitable units to subsidize pet projects, let tech leads go and replace them by overpaid googlers. Again and again people came up with suggestions, solutions, plans; but she turned them down and kept driving this profitable company into the ground.
Those millions she walk away with are not about her expertise. They're the price Yahoo pays for a complacent board that went for the flavor of the week: a female CEO with a tech background that looked good in photoshoots.
actual bonuses? not for the rank-and-file. plenty in bentonville get them, though.
Wrong. Most people at Walmart headquarters are paid below market for their skills and the perks are nowhere to be found. Being a cheapskate is a virtue in that organization; there's even a famous senior manager who uses cheap patio furniture provided by a vendor (as a sample) in his office.
As for retail employees being paid low wages: that's how the market works, and that's how Walmart can sell stuff at rock bottom price. Anyone who applies for a job at Walmart and doesn't know this in advance is a fool.
To quote William Claude Dukenfield, "I don't drink water. Fish fuck in it."
Technically, Claude is wrong. For the most part fish don't really fuck; what they do is more like synchronized masturbation with no physical contact. That may or may not be more disgusting, depending on your personal preferences.
At least it's outside your body. Think of what happens when you go to a public bathroom that smells bad: what you're breathing was previously inside someone. I mean, the actual molecules that are entering your nose used to be part of someone else digestive system. Maybe even more than one person.
That's a lot worse than a bucket of piss diluted in a big pool filled with chlorine.
In fact, that's exactly how percentages work if some TVs simply disappeared. And in direct contrast to what you said in the OP
No it's not, and no it's not. I get it - I deal with many aspies at work so I know how you think - you're being obsessed with the "sold" part as if it meant the people from group A were selling them to group B. But see, the interpretation in your head is just in your head.
What I meant was essentially the same thing you meant in your post, which came up just a few seconds before mine: there is nothing surprising to see one group getting bigger and the other getting smaller since it's a same population. If I had seen your post I wouldn't have sent mine, I would have said +1 in reply to yours.
So move on, dude, you're just nitpicking and you're not even doing it well.
I gave up my TV many years ago but spend more time than ever in front of my screens. Quality time.
And how do you do that? Sitting on an office chair in your den while watching a computer monitor? Or sitting on a couch holding an iPad? That doesn't look like quality time to me.
I have an immense TV in my living room with all the apps built-in and yet I don't have cable. And I can cast stuff from the couch. Now THAT is quality time.
the driver was angry at the one guy who can fix the problem.
The guy can't fix the problem, their business model is not sustainable. Uber is currently losing about 3 billions per year. That's 20x more money than Twitter is losing. and about half the profit Facebook is making.
Now how do you dig yourself out of a 3 billion dollar hole? Their bet is automated cars but so far it's not looking good.
What culture were the 5-year-olds raised in? What foods were they exposed to? Seriously: food preferences and cultural preferences start developing at a much younger age.
It's not about food preference. Processed food like Doritos are engineered to stimulate senses. See:
Nacho-cheese-flavor Doritos, which contain five separate forms of glutamate, may be even richer in umami than the finest kombu dashi (kelp stock) in Japan.
Someone who eats Doritos (or similar) needs a cleansing, even some kind of rehab, before they can again enjoy natural food. That's why fresh fish or venison stands no chance compared to processed food, no matter how the people were raised.
What are you trying to accomplish with your message? Because it looks to me like you're engaged in a process of painting the world in black and white, and this usually indicates a lack of emotional and intellectual maturity that is not conducive to having grown-up discussions. Maybe what you need at this point is to keep a diary so you can monitor the evolution of your rants.
Also I would like to point out that there was nothing in this thread that pointed toward either a pro- or anti-Trump position, so in addition to a nice diary you should also treat yourself to a bucket of chill pills.

Ok so why don't you fix society and until you have a good handle on nutcases people keep their guns?

Being a cheapskate is a virtue in that organization
Sam Walton required Walmart employees who attended conferences or trade shows to return with at least three dozen free pens.
$150 billions, one free pen at a time.

How about something for the 1.5 BILLION users whose information was compromised?
Here's something for those people: "fuck you".
In a nutshell, that's what they get.

The bulk of it is spent on their drivers. But look there's a nice analysis of their losses here:

Stick it up your rectum, faggot.
Especially if it's "one turd" of a Tv.
What are you talking about? The fact that people threw away a TV or sold a TV doesn't change how "percentages work".
The point here is that there is no significant change over 5 years, especially given the unreliable polling method they used.

My interpretation is different. The kids are on their iPhone, the mom is on Pinterest and the dad is talking to fake women on Ashley Madison.
First they mention a decrease of in households that have 3 TV. Then:
Interestingly, the number of households with one or two TVs increased in 2015 to 58 percent, from 54 percent in 2009.
What we learned today is that over a period of 5 years, some people sold an extra TV and others bought an extra TV.

I don't think that fresh fish and venison are generally regarded to be bad-tasting foods.
Let's have a focus group of 5 years old and see if they prefer Doritos or fresh halibut.
