Comment Re:Same as school exercise (Score 1) 304

13% of Americans are called the "working poor." These are often single parent retail workers who need to work several jobs in order to survive. When people talk about poor people who do not have the time or energy to prepare meals, we are talking about these people. We are not talking about your family.

Since subtlety is obviously lost on someone with your vast intellect, let me be clear: you are a terrible person and you have no idea what you are talking about.

This advice works great right up until the new grads reduce the clearing wage in [x] fad trade/technical diploma. This is what happened to make english and biology "bullshit degrees" after all.

Why discriminate though? Every undergraduate degree is bullshit. Outside of Engineering and BFA you aren't going to get hired to do anything close to what you actually studied unless you either have a strong jaw or a rich dad.

Yeah, it's because we use a simple plurality. The Conservatives took a majority government in the last election because the left was split between the Liberal Party and the New Democratic Party. If we had run-off voting we would probably have had an NDP minority government.

It is kind of a mixed blessing because, while run-off voting more accurately represents the wishes of the public, Jack Layton was really the only person holding the NDP together and he ran knowing he had terminal cancer.

As far as I'm concerned, this Googlighting video is absolutely correct. The problem is that it's not just a criticism of Google.

You can't blame a company for changing or discontinuing its products. Companies have to do what will make them money, and the fact that these decisions are applied unilaterally is a basic [dis]advantage of SaaS. Google is really no worse than Microsoft, Salesforce, Intuit, or any other vendor - their product catalogue is just diverse enough for these issues to pop.

Incidentally, SomethingAwful, the site that ran that little "for-the-children" crusade? Has their own version of /r/jailbait.

"I can't see it, so it must be kiddie porn!"

Since you have to pay $10 to view the actual threads (no, seriously, it's an Internet forum you have to pay to use), I can't find the specific thread, but if you were dumb enough to pay $10 for a service that countless other sites offer for free, you can certainly find it. Maybe they should clean their own house before throwing stones.

I guess maybe SA charges $10 to keep people like you out? Thanks, Pedo-AC, for proving once again that the best communities are gated communities.
