Soylent New is live

Watch me watching myself dancing to Justin Bieber.

In order of status/pay and words like that it probably goes something like*

hourly (black market worker)
daily (gray market worker)
weekly (working poor)
bi-weekly (working poor leads)
monthly (working supervisors)
quarterly (management)
whenever (masters of the universe)

*List was hastily made and likely contains hyperbole, generalizations, logical fallacies, and jest.

Apologies, my tone was a little off-key, not trying to attack and I could have left out that last line. I was just wondering whether it is ever the case that the government cannot seize property and assets. Ultimately, I suppose those in power can always exercise that power until the people get fed up and replace it with another power. Take it as a random rant that those with more power can ultimately take what one has. I shouldn't have directed it towards you.

Ok, is that irony?

For once, this may actually be on topic. Still a troll, but not off topic.

Apparently in America, football is for the greater good. Good luck keeping your home or business if an NFL franchise decides it's a good place to put a stadium. Oh and you'll get to help pay for the stadium through your local taxes too. You might be compensated but you don't get to set the price. Ask a business owner who's been displaced if he was fairly compensated for the business that's been his family 50 years. Ask the 70 year old couple that lived in the same house their whole lives if there is any compensation worth moving in their twilight years. If you think you truly own anything, you're deluding yourself.

Apart from reading that could be said of most subjects.

There are probably well over 10000 creation myths. How exactly do you picture this class that teaches all sides without regard to scientific merit? How much time do you give to the 'earth sits on a giant turtle' theory? How much time do you give to the creation myths of the Cherokee, the Choctaw, Creek, Australian aborigines? And at the end of the day, all you have is 10,000 stories and 1 scientific theory. Let's skip the stories and just teach the science.

If you can't trust an NSA contractor, who can you trust?

/. has had changes in the past. And in the past, people protested and complained. I would think, let them try something new. /. should like updates.

I think differently about this one. /. has changed over the years but it has always been about the comments. Lots of people like to monetize things, hence why Dice now owns /. But in the years I've been on /. it was always about the community. This time it's about the audience.

If comments are destroyed, that will ruin /. The BETA protest will do no more harm than the GNAA, APK or any other troll. It's been a while since there was a good one anyway.

I'm still using Classic as well, but *why* BETA sucks does not bode well for /.
