I got a job that will do until I get something better.

You have clearly never worked the land. Nothing is free.

I have a sizable garden and spent summers as a child on my godfather's farm in Wisconsin. Working the land and benefiting from the fruit's of one's labor in a sustainable fashion is the only freedom

in soviet russia, LAND WORKS YOU

yeah, work it baby

[Sava]

Sava, I agree with you too a great extent. But I think we must have dignity and pride.

Dignity and pride are bull**** delusions that can be used to manipulate you. Reach rock bottom. Know that none of that means anything, then you can build yourself up.

Oh, and most of that was just BS. One of my compulsions is posting like that towards KH. He's easy to mess with. It's like throwing rocks at a hornet's nest.

Just wait... you'll see.

[Al B. Sure!]

$8.50 is the best you could get?

How much does Target pay? Janitors have no upward mobility. Can't you get a cashier job and move up from there to like lead cashier, then shift manager, assistant manager, and on?

I know this post will come off harsh but I don't see the promotion prospects with the current job. You'd be better off doing something where you can move up plus you can never have too much customer service experience. Cleaning is useless.

Deliver pizzas. $15-20 an hour in tips easy. Well, depending on gas.

Or hack WPA2 WIFI routers and get bank info. Clone ATM cards with magnetic strip reader/writers. Crime is easy

Big fish don't feel sorry for you and they make the rules. It seems wrong to take from "good" people. But the bad ones are the ones in charge and have all the guns. Also, the good people give them their power by being so stupid. Stay small time, you'll be only slightly more at risk than the general public, but much better funded. And thus, more capable of mounting a proper legal defense

Sava, you distract me with your fat ass then you try to entice me to break the law.

Sava, if you can crack WPA2, I'm impressed. Cracking WEP is easy. Cracking some kinds of packets in WPA is hypothetically possible. I don't think even the NSA can crack WPA2. Especially if the network is using 802.11x.

Also, the usual way in which the police figure out who stole your credit card info is by looking at where they stuff he bought got shipped to. Not to mention you can only buy a few things before the card gets canceled.

Yeah, hacking wpa2 is easy if you have hundreds of years of time and a fast computer.

[regexcellent]

Computation isn't the only problem; you also have to sniff a lot of packets. At some level the speed of your computer actually becomes irrelevant.

How about if you do it on a gpu?

You don't own anything. Nobody on this forum does. Perhaps less than 1,000 people in this world could be considered owners. Everyone else is an employee, a slave, or an inheritor. Some have management authority.

I'm an owner! It doesn't pay me very well, but nothing I do currently can be construed as for anyone above me.

85 posts on a MrFun job thread and nobody used the word "fluffer" yet?

MrFun, congrats.

Ben,
I want to apologize to you for some of the things I wrote earlier today. It is a fact that blacks and hispanics score lower on tests like the SAT. I'm not disputing that. It's just we can't lower our expectations or look at a score and go "Oh, that's good for a hispanic." We need all the scores to be good scores and we need to expect/demand that our students learn and our teachers teach regardless of race. That is one of the ways to a better USA.

Well-said. Nobody gave this poor ass cracker anything and I didn't expect them to give me anything. Folks are folks, and they all have to earn their due.

[Riesstiu IV]

We now have conformation that Sloww is a cracker.

[SlowwHand]

Cracker, sometimes white cracker, is a pejorative term for white people. It is an ethnic slur that is especially used for the white inhabitants of the U.S.

I'm not sure how true this is; my firm is focused mostly on public and multiemployer (i.e. union) plans, but my dad's practice is mostly corporate plans. They have gotten rarer, sure, but there are still plenty around.



In a competitive labor market a pension plan can't turn into a Ponzi scheme. The incidence is fully on the owners of the firm (or the taxpayers). And unions only restrict entry to a [labor] market, not exit from it, so they can't effectively hold wages down.

edit: I suppose unions restrict exit in the sense that you have to forfeit the benefits of union membership, but I don't think it's a big deal that pensions may force employees to give up that...

I think you need to rethink this...
