How much does it really effect you? Is anyone besides you even going to notice it? I'm just not really aware of where this is an issue, isn't a ban/block/ignore significant enough to stop just about any attack? If someone's getting around those, they're spending a considerable amount of effort...
You're assuming that everything he's skipping by giving forth the least amount of effort is more important that whatever else he's doing with his free time. It may be, it may not be,
I've always wondered what happened to apprenticeships, like they used to be where they were focused more on learning a particular skill. It seems like a far more logical way to develop skills; schools are relatively hands off, you spend alot of time learning on your own, on the job people are often too busy to give you instructions (of course this is a generalization, but still, still profit is the goal). This may be somewhat off-topic, but I always thought the idea of apprenticeships was neat.
The problem with having to "lawyer up" is someone is trying to ruin him over something that isn't real. If he really is innocent, the most likely explanation is that this woman's life has not gone well, and now she is hoping to take revenge on someone who really has only helped her in the past, and in doing so hopefully avoid whatever pain it is the future she's running from; either that or she's just a psychopath.
It's not my style, but i'd be interested in any other sites like his, because as I said it's not my style, but I love reading in-depth things that are style rather personal in nature, kind of an odd spot to ask, but sites like that arn't easy to find. Thanks for the link, btw!
then how do you apply that law to everyone? only white people can ride dirt bikes? only people not in gangs can? the arrest should be for riding dirt bikes in a gang then, because part of the burden of the law is making it clear what it stands for
Actually to be quite contrary, and just to hear people's ideas, how can anyone judge whether death is right or wrong? Or in a different light, how do you say that the promotion of human beings is a good thing? I'm a human being, and all of us talking are, so perhaps we're inclined in that sense to believe that human life is precious. But can one prove what death is? Is it always better for someone to live, is it always better for someone to die? Death in my poorly conceived view is just a moment in which we choose to no longer accept this world, but I don't believe that I'll cease to exist. In fact no matter how large or how terrifying the experience may be, it will still pass. Yes, in a sense I'm making a relativistic argument, but it's interesting to me to hear people's views on death.
Perhaps you mean it in a different sense, but it's not possible to not have the option for life, you can choose not to experience life, you can say the reasons against it are too much for you, but there's never a time when life is no longer an option.
I don't agree with the fact that they were rude, which is what is it to not respond in these cases, but they didn't do anything particularly offensive except for leaving him in the dark. All he needed to do was take a job offer, if Google really wanted him, they could fix their mistake(s) of waiting so long. The comments though for this article are pretty egregious, it's too bad interviewers are that awful.
I meant it as anyone who has been playing them for years has been there and done that, the thrill of them is in big part due to their novelty, there's a lot to explore if you've never played any mmo before, there's a lot less when you start to realize there all just reskinned versions of the same idea. MMOs are some of the more basic games in existence, the need to advance, that's my point.
Honestly dude, except for young children, mmos have passed their prime, anyone whos been playing mmos for 15+ years has been there and done that, I don't mean that in an elitist sense, I mean that except for skin/model changes, mmos are really very cookie-cutter, it was really exciting to see it for the first couple of times, just as doom, half-life, and any other shooters were, but it is a real weakness when you're playing the same mechanics for years. Yes, I can use my imagination, but I am aware of the limits of technology and I'd like to do more than play the same time sinks over and over.
Another thing after reading these comments, so many people practically worship waiters? Honestly, what? They're servants, they bring you food, they clean up messes, they're there to fix things when they go wrong, not spend their every moment trying to decide whether to shine your shoe or flip you off; It's like they're celebrities or athletes or something from the way some people talk about how they need tips or they'll start doing this or that thing to make your stay unpleasant. They have a job, if they don't do it well, they should lose it, they have a fixed income, if you don't want to pay it, you should know ahead of time what it's going to be and be able to decide whether to eat there or not, not judging after the meal.
I really like this article, he raises points I hadn't thought about. As someone who is American and works in a restaurant, I still think it's a terrible system. Waiters do not do more or better work than the rest of the staff, they are just like everyone else and the fact that they get paid double or triple their coworkers is insane. It's certainly not about their attitude, because people who get paid $8/hr behave just as well (or often do because it's their job and they don't want to lose it), and waiters are just as often rude and inattentive. It mystifies me really that restaurants in 2013 havn't been relegated to the same model every other business follows, just tell me the price and be done with it; tipping is a terrible system.
