It's bullshit advice in general anyway. My dad thought he was friends with some guy who was an exec who worked for Diversey-Lever (initials J.L.) and he gave me "his" number to call to allegedly get an interview. So I called up about it and got a receptionist who I couldn't get past, and never got a call back. People like that don't have friends, just people they can use, and they have people in between to protect them from people who think they are their friends.

They don't have the exact same upbringing, in particular first and second siblings are typically treated differently in a number of ways. They also are not the same person, and different people are able to take advantage of different opportunities for multiple reasons — not all people have the preparation to take the same opportunities, and not all people will have the same opportunities handed to them. So no, you are factually incorrect, they did not have the exact same upbringing, and even if they did that would only be partially relevant.

Logic, you fail it.

Oh look, more clown shit. The government provided more funding to those schools instead of offering predatory loans directly to students, so the tuition was a lot cheaper for the student, because so much of the cost was paid before they were billed.

You fail at facts, too.

Modern life as we know it is completely impossible without cooperation. Even the most trivial of finished goods require the input of hundreds or thousands of people. It is also be competitive, but it is inherently cooperative, and there's no reason not to make it moreso just to make the bootstrap pulling, boot licking crowd satisfied.

That's what you are now. They are called CEOs and politicians.

You used to be able to store phone directories on SIM cards, albeit not with very many entries. On my Motorola Triplets and RAZR phones (original RAZR obviously, not the ones where they reused the name) you could easily choose whether you wanted them stored on SIM or locally. Maybe they don't know how to process strings, though, only store them. Or did they remove that functionality? I haven't tried to use it in many years, so I wouldn't know personally. Looking around I see that sometimes even SMS was stored on them?

Yeah, I do have that same shit. It's not a driver problem though, it's a too much bullshit problem. The management agent on my PC sometimes goes rogue and starts using up CPU to an extent which not only causes the fan to throttle up, but actually causes perceptible performance degradation — Even the GUI itself is affected, perhaps exacerbated by the fact that it's an intel-based laptop with integrated graphics. (HP had the gall to sell this fucker as an Elitebook, which used to mean something. Not quality, but at least power. My last Elitebook had a core 2 duo and discrete Nvidia quadro graphics.)

Today the site is all goofy, at least on mobile. No comment count updates, comments are sorted incorrectly...

A lot of the advice is unsolicited. The parents are acting like the kids have something wrong with them because what worked for them isn't working for their kids.

Submit some other material then.

They won't accept it but at least you will feel like one of us

Welcome to slashdot, you must not be new here.

The moderation system was designed to be managed by humans and they aren't doing that. They're too busy clickbaiting us.

"Moral of the story: get on the ownership/investor side ASAP."

Everyone can't do that, and the economy would collapse if they tried and they would lose too

At least 20-25% of them are someone else's homeless by any measure. And I'd say that it's actually considerably more of them, because that's just the (approximate) percentage who came here after becoming homeless. Still more of them came here for work because there was no work in their home state, and then became homeless; I think we should count them, too. California has to pay for other states to function through our taxes, then we have to pay for their former citizens who left those states because those states couldn't meet their needs even with our money. There's no way we can keep up, especially now that Orange Hitler is fucking up our funding — money that the federal government took from our citizens and is legally obligated to return under existing law.

We do our best, of course. Our implementations of SNAP and Medicaid (CalFresh and Medi-Cal) are substantially easier to get and keep than in other states, because we basically implement the minimum eligibility requirements. This helps bring some of the money taken from us under false pretenses by the feds (the DOD can literally never pass an audit) back into California, where it is needed to keep the nation's economic powerhouse functioning, and also helps us feed these unfortunates whose home states were unable and/or unwilling to assist them. We also have been providing medical care to the undocumented*, although there's been rumors that we will dial that back significantly due to lack of funding. There can't possibly be any consequences to that, right?

* This has come from state funding, undocumented persons are not collecting Medicaid. A household with undocumented persons can receive SNAP, but they are excluded from the household so the maximum benefit is decreased, the idea being to feed children. Undocumented mothers can also receive WIC, for the same reason.

True, but AGW isn't only making every place and situation hotter, sometimes it's making them colder. What good is your data center when you cannot get power because the lines are down? Or when the big square building with the big flat roof gets buried under a metric fuckton of snow and the roof collapses?

A holding time of a year prohibits people pulling their stocks out when a company is fucking up, that doesn't make sense. I'm not totally against the idea, just with a shorter period.

I like your idea about not allowing buying stocks with loans, although it would be super hard to enforce.

That's a typically false, typically anon coward take.

You mean you got held accountable for your bullshit? waaaaah
