Comment Re: California-Jim Youngâ(TM)s (Ben Affleck) (Score -1) 81

Group interview, my ass. It was like a Hitler Youth rally, in retrospect. The guy who pitched us, Jim Young, was the head recruiter there. - Okay, guys. Let's go. - Between him and Michael, honestly... they could sell bubble gum in the lockjaw ward at Bellevue. I'm sorry, man. This is my seat. - Oh, sh*t. I'm so sorry. - It's okay. Don't worry about it. - F***in' dumb-ass. - Get the f*** outta here. - What? - Don't talk to me. Don't look at me. Just get your ass out of that Italian leather chair and get the f*** out. Right now. Come on. Let's go, schlepp rock. Out. Sit down. We expect everyone here to treat their coworkers... with a certain level of respect. Jim Youngâ(TM)s (Ben Affleck) Lecture (From the film Boiler Room) Before we start, I have one question. Has anyone passed a Series Seven exam? - I have a Series Seven license. - Good for you. You can get out too. What? Why? We don't hire brokers here. We train new ones. That's it, Skippy. Pack your sh*t. Let's go. Okay. Here's the deal. I'm not here to waste your time. I hope you're not here to waste mine. So I'm gonna keep this short. If you become an employee of this firm... you will make your first million within three years. Okay? I repeat that: You will make a million dollars within three years... of your first day of employment at J.T. Marlin. There is no question whether or not you'll become a millionaire here. The only question is how many times over. You think I'm joking? I am not joking. I am a millionaire. It's a weird thing to hear, right? I'll tell ya. It's a weird thing to say. I am a f***ing millionaire. And guess how old I am. Twenty-seven. You know what that makes me here? A f***in' senior citizen. This firm is entirely comprised of people your age, not mine. Lucky for me, I'm very f***ing good at my job, or I'd be out of one. You guys are the new blood. You're gonna go home with the kessef. You are the future big swinging d*cks of this firm. Now, you all look money hungry, and that's good. Anybody tells you money is the root of all evil doesn't f***in' have any. They say money can't buy happiness? Look at the f***in' smile on my face. Ear to ear, baby. You want details? Fine. I drive a Ferrari What's up? I have a ridiculous house in the South Fork. I have every toy you could imagine, and best of all, kids... I am liquid. So, now you know what's possible. Let me tell you what's required. You are required to work your f***ing ass off at this firm. We want winners here, not pikers. A piker walks at the bell. A piker asks how much vacation you get in the first year. Vacation? People come and work at this firm for one reason: To become filthy rich. We're not here to make friends. We're not savin' the manatees, guys. You want vacation time? Go teach third grade, public school. Okay. The first three months at the firm are as a trainee. You make $150 a week. After you're done training, you take the Series Seven. Pass that, you become junior broker... and you open accounts for your team leader. You open 40 accounts, you start workin' for yourself. Sky's the limit. Word about being a trainee. Friends, parents, other brokers, they're gonna give you sh*t. It's true. $150 a week? Not a lot of money. Pay them no mind. You need to learn this business, and this is the time to do it. Once you pass the test, none of that's gonna matter. Your friends are sh*t. Tell them you made 25 grand last month, they're won't f***ing believe you. F*** them! F*** 'em! Parents don't like the life you lead? "F*** you, Mom and Dad." See how it feels when you're makin' their f***in' Lexus payments. Now, go home and think about it. Think about whether it's really for you. If you decide it isn't... It's nothing to be embarrassed about. It's not for everyone. Thanks. But if you really want this... you call me on Monday and we'll talk. Just don't waste my f***in' time. Okay. That's it.

Comment Re:phrasing, subby. Enter the Brave New World-Soma (Score -1) 35

Soma Holiday!!! In Aldous Huxley's futuristic novel Brave New World, the government provides many methods to keep the population happy and calm, including the use of a drug called soma. A soma holiday will remove one from the harsh reality of daily life and anything that might be upsetting. Okay, I guess there is a BBC version that's different than the Leonard Nimoy! https://grokipedia.com/page/Br... explains it A second television film followed in 1998, directed by Leslie Libman and Larry Williams, featuring Peter Gallagher as Bernard Marx, Leonard Nimoy as Mustapha Mond, and an expanded role for the Savage played by Sean Astin.[131] This version deviated more substantially from the source material, introducing modernized dialogue and emphasizing spectacle in depicting the World State's genetic engineering and orgiastic rituals, while shortening philosophical debates to heighten dramatic tension. It received lower critical and audience acclaim, earning a 5.2/10 IMDb rating from over 2,200 reviews, with viewers critiquing its superficial treatment of Huxley's warnings against shallow contentment over deeper societal conditioning. I ordered the only VHS release of this movie on european tape in PAL format I needed to buy a special VCR to play it! then they made a new version if you pay for Peacock TV.

I'm surprised we sold to a French company?! How does that make sense? The AOL stands for America on Line! We we? Here's ai Google enlightening me... You said: time warner owned AOL last i checked, then NBC Comcast bought Time Warner. so Comcast NBC should own AOL. isn't that correct? time warner owned AOL last i checked, then NBC Comcast bought Time Warner. so Comcast NBC should own AOL. isn't that correct? +9 AOL and Time Warner did merge in 2000, but the companies separated years ago, and Comcast NBC does not own AOL.The complex ownership history unfolded as follows:The Split: Time Warner completely spun off AOL as an independent, publicly traded company in 2009. The Verizon Era: In 2015, Verizon Communications acquired AOL for $4.4 billion. The Apollo Era: In 2021, Verizon sold its media division (which included AOL) to the private equity firm Apollo Global Management for $5 billion. Current Ownership: Italian tech company Bending Spoons acquired AOL.Meanwhile, regarding the media conglomerate you may be thinking of:Time Warner was never bought by Comcast NBC. Instead, it was acquired by AT&T in 2018 (and renamed WarnerMedia).In 2022, AT&T spun off its media assets, merging them with Discovery to create Warner Bros. Discovery.

Was that the primary buffer panel? Serenity (2005) https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/578161c7-d182-49ae-8bd6-6c4d70c79926 https://imsdb.com/scripts/Serenity.html INT. BRIDGE - CONTINUING [Note: the following sequence will take us through the ship in one extended STEADICAM shot.] The bridge is small: two pilot seats on either side, and a tangle of wires and machinery all about. Mal wears the knee-length brown coat and boots of an old Independent. Gun at his hip. He's not unlike the ship -- he's seen a bit of the world and it left him, emotionally at least, weathered. Right now, though, he's mostly startled. MAL What was that? He's addressing the pilot, WASH. Flight gear and a hawaiian shirt, toy dinosaurs populating his station -- no old soldier, but just as startled. WASH Whoah!

MAL Did the Primary Buffer Panel just fall off my gorramn ship for no apparent reason? Another buck -- WASH Looks like.

Okay this is common knowledge in the public domain and my Spock self from the 90's is telling you you're all lame k-rad kiddies because you should know Kevin Mitnicks history anybody who's anybody in the infosec world should take a self 101 information security history audit and learn what 2600 has been doing on Earth since Epoch 1970. https://thepiratebay.org/searc... https://www.youtube.com/watch?... educate yourself you fool download and watch this. It's not the same movie as the Miramax Tsutomu Shimomura's film Takedown with Kevin played by Skeet Ulrich, and this was protested by many 2600 supporters on the street during it's creation. Track Down isn't the name of the film ! Takedown is the Hollywood produced product. Freedom Downtime was produced by 2600.
