On my last flight that was me. The cunt in front demanded to recline his seat, leaving me with a screen a hand span from my face.
The 'How to sit comfortably' guide wasn't responding to the touch screen so I couldn't access its advice on how to sit comfortably with a screen in my face, so instead spent the time prodding the screen to make it work.
The cunt in front got upset about this and called the flight attendant. She called her supervisor. Her supervisor told me that "he has a right to recline his seat" so I told her that I had a right to try and interact with the screen that's right in my face.
They gave me a tablet I could put on the table of the empty seat next to me - literally the only empty seat on the aircraft (I'd chosen well). Although I could have moved to sit there it would've put me behind the cunt in front's wife who was also reclining.
He's the second person that's threatened physical violence to me on an aircraft - and both because I stopped them invading my person space. Cunts.
The fool was bitching about inadequate investment, so I merely highlighted that the US invests heavily in education.
How wisely that money is spent is a more complex question. I do recall teachers bitching throughout my entire life, so it's hard to give the current crop much credence. Easier to upset them by pointing out how much time they get off each summer.
so your case that defunding education has no effect
I'm arguing against your unhinged foaming about stock buybacks and politics you disagree with. I've made no comments about defunding education.
But since you do want to go there: The US spend more per child on education than any other country on the planet.
Total US spending on education is down a little from its peak but so were birth rates 15 years ago. I'll help you out here: Fewer children means less total cost.
The lesson here is that if you want to be a player in the automated economy you better have a well educated workforce.
The IT industry (which is the one we're discussing here) is the educated workforce that's actually responsible for much of the last couple of decades of automation.
While IT isn't immune from automation nobody working in the industry for the last couple of decades has failed to observe the constant outsourcing and offshoring of jobs, roles and entire departments.
I didn't move out of programming roles because I was worried about automation. I did move out of programming roles because I could do other interesting work that was at far less risk of being undercut by an Indian body shop.
while you sit on your hands and assume
You keep making assumptions about me and my own assumptions. You keep accusing me of specific views towards the Chinese. Stop it. You're wrong. You're a fucking idiot. Stop projecting your own inadequacies onto others.
You do a good job of sounding like you are determined to underestimate the Chinese.
You do a fucking amazing job of failing miserably to understand the simple things I'm saying.
And you still sound like somebody who thinks that inserting some form of the word 'fuck' into every sentence makes their argument stronger.
You sound like the sort of cunt that thinks using word A instead of word B is material to the argument they're making. I use the term 'fuck' a lot, along with 'bugger', 'arse', 'bloody' and 'cunt'. At least my other words make fucking sense.
So I am incapable of accessing both nations and you are because..... no proof?
1 - automation creates jobs as well as replacing them 2 - outsourcing to low cost countries has replaced jobs irrespective of automation 3 - teachers are among the highest paid earners in the US 4 - the Chinese are less than 20 years of reform away from another revolution 5 - I've already told you I'm not underestimating anybody, but frankly China isn't my opponent. I'm not a nation state
PS - 7 - I don't use the term f**ing, I use the terms fuck and fucking. You may not like them but that's your fucking choice, stop trying to impose it on me PS - 8 - I don't have a toilet for a mouth. Saying words does not equate to consuming bodily wastes, although I guess based on your other arguments I shouldn't be surprised that you're stupid enough to think it does PS - 9 - I'm not fucking American. I'm also not Chinese and I'm also capable of objectively assessing both nations. You clearly are not.
They have an adequate supply of qualified developers and engineers, the EU and US in particular don't
That's got fuck all to do with investment in education and far more to do with Europe and the US outsourcing much of their IT to low cost locations.
Like China.
Underestimating your opponent is the mother of all defeats.
Being pragmatic and realistic about China's position in the world doesn't require underestimating them. It's actually possible to acknowledge their progress without attacking the education system in other countries.
Oh please. China has a higher population than North America and Europe combined.
When you're looking for cheap programmers it's hardly a fucking surprise that you'll find some there.
Chinese put tons of money into universities and incentives for young people to go there
..and yet despite the higher population China has less than 4/5 the number of students at university that America and the EU have, even without counting the rest of North America and Europe.
Is anybody surprised that their method worked better than the asinine political circus we are currently obsessing over at the expense of everything else except tax breaks for the fabulously rich?
Yes, I'm completely fucking amazed you claim their method worked better.

This isn't about pornography
This is Theresa May's puritanical authoritarianism. It actually is about pornography.
The irony is that she's hellbent on stopping us watching people get fucked while fucking us all senseless over Brexit.
Given that a politician claimed on expenses the pornography her husband was watching I'm not sure they even care.
I don't actually care either. Let them view what they want. It's stopping everybody else viewing what they want that's the issue.
it's on to the places which are not porn sites, but which still have a ton of porn - social media sites and forum
This is what I hope will happen. Invade the spaces that were previously porn free.
It's the best way to convey the message that adults must be allowed to do adult things.
Now, time to create a mumsnet account.
Ooh, I don't know. I guess it depends how you interpret

If you can't sleep because someone else has a light on the issue isn't them.
Anyway, I don't turn on a light to read books on aircraft any more. Yet another advantage to Amazon Kindle devices.
Fuck yes. Ryanair are shitty in uncountable ways but they'll get you to Malta and back for less than the cost of a train to London.
Flight prices are ludicrously low.
No, I haven't noticed that.
Many things get cheaper as technology advances, manufacturing costs drop, competition enters the market.
Have you not noticed that?
Oh sweetheart. High functioning autists are more evolved than the emotion laden fools we have to suffer.
Like you.
Another morning, another pointless post from Shanen.
But that does seem to be the only kind.
I'm tired, you'll have to cope without me for the rest of the night.

The football's finished, a good score too. You however keep going. Did a wasp lay an egg in your brain turning you into a zombie?
o I'm not exactly surprised that the Chinese get more quality graduates out of each dollar they spend
Ok, I'm out. That's just blatant trolling.
I am disinclined to acquiesce to our request
Here's how many fucks I give: 0
I'm trying to watch the football. Stop distracting me with your silliness.
Ok, looks like there's conflicting data. In 2014 Switzerland and Luxembourg had higher per-student spend than the US.
I can't be arsed tracking down whether the US is 1st or 4th on the list for 2018, so instead lets compare China and the US.
China's total spend is less than the US total spend, despite having many more students. China spends less on education than the US.

Oh look, I can provide references. You're still talking shit. Now fuck off.

You're posting diatribe, false accusations, poor ungrounded assumptions and continual idiocy.
I'm posting factual responses based on things like actual demographics, GDP and spending.
So yes, you're incapable and I'm succeeding. Deal with it.
Holy Jesus' butt-plug you're a cock.

You should try it.
PS: There's nowt wrong w' fucking
It's ok, you can do it. Just pick up the phone, call someone that can help.
You clearly need it.
Still at it? You do know it's possible to get medical help, just pick up the phone.
My personal experience is exactly the opposite.
I have met good Indian programmers. They do actually exist. It's just bloody hard to find them.
I think you need both. That insanely brilliant algorithm needs a shit-ton of scaffolding.
Oh please. China has a higher population than North America and Europe combined.
When you're looking for cheap programmers it's hardly a fucking surprise that you'll find some there.
