It's all just a bunch of liberal fooferall.

Didn't you know? Everything bad is either liberal lies or caused by liberals.

[Darvi]

Or a communist plot, terrorism, or anarchistic meddling.

[RedKing]

Don't forget UN one-world-government conspiracy. Thankfully, the keen insights and deductive powers of the Honorable gentleman from Lower Chickenfuck will safeguard the rest of us.

A bit late, but...

Our computers have 200MB of hard drive space.
That's only just enough to hold all of my work for digital graphics, and that's with compressing everything that I'm not currently using into zip folders.

D:


...In other news, my computer is allergic to Minecraft. Seriously. It just shows a black screen. ARGHHHHHHHHH!

That may be a sign that your Java client... thing... isn't up to date.  My computer had a similar problem.

Huh. Java says Java is up to date. I USED to have some problems with it not liking updating, but it should be working now.  Which Minecraft is not. :/

"We have no one in the state of North Carolina living in extreme poverty," Cleveland said, defining the condition as living on $1.50 a day. "Over the years, they keep redefining poverty to make sure we have a poverty class. I have a problem when we say we have an increasing number of children living in extreme poverty. It’s a government agency perpetuating what they want as a poverty level."

So....$2 a day wouldn't be poor to this colossal bag of dicks representative. I'm so glad to know I've never been poor. Hell, most of those starving kids in Africa aren't even poor! It's all just a bunch of liberal fooferall.

Is there not some way to reduce this guy's salary to $1.51 per day and freeze all his other assets?

[Nadaka]

Yea...

$1.50 a day...

He may still be wrong (in the literal and not just moral sense). There could still be a homeless person out there living off dumpster scraps, who takes in less than $1.50 a day in cash. Perhaps unlikely, but possible.

[nenjin]

$1.50 here would pay for the cost of 2-way city bus fare. And that's all.

[Aklyon]

Streamlined IE9 yeah right.

I have to go through the Slowest menus on the crappiest tiny box of my favorites to get to any webistes that I favotited (My favorites bar is full), tabs are in the wrong spot, I CANT UNINSTALL IT, IT WON'T LET ME, I cant move something from favorites bar to favorites box but still keep it on the bar, no more corner search bar (I actually liked that alot), and it just sucks in general.  ALl this for not paying attention to which updates were checked

EDIT: ANd, I cant mousewheel click to open links in new tabs from favorites.  That was the most annoying part of it too.

Is this somewhere where you have a choice of browser, or just that? Because (besides the fact that you can't uninstall any part of IE safely because shenanigans in windows) I'm pretty sure Firefox, Chrom(e/ium) and Opera are still more or less the same they've been for months and working.

$1.50 here would pay for the cost of 2-way city bus fare. And that's all.

It wouldn't even be enough for a one-way local child's bus fare here.
1.50$ ~ 1.10€. Said bus fare was 1.20€ last I checked (Price would've risen by now).

[Loud Whispers]

$1.50 here would get you about... One biscuit?

[Nadaka]

I have been given another impossible task at work. I probably shouldn't have done so well on the last impossible task.

[Darvi]

Keep it up, you might end up marrying a princess.

[scriver]

You're 8 ören (Swedish 100-parts of a Crown, so basically worth a cent of a cent) away from a simple hamburger or cheeseburger at McDonalds, with nothing to drink or eat with it. So one burger every other day. Yeah, totally liveable.

[ChairmanPoo]

Several recent posts elsewhere. Won't comment on the details or say where. I'll just say that I think the pov's expressed inside are groanworthy and rife with unfortunate implications...

[Bauglir]

In the interests of fairness, I will say the one thing I can in defense of the people in that article. Like some of the people in OWS, it would seem they were promised better. On the other hand, this is the group of people largely responsible for the sort of shenanigans that actually caused the whole clusterfuck, but for those who've been honest, worked hard, and weren't actually involved with the banking practices that got us here: sorry guys. I mean that, shit happens and it always sucks to be on the receiving end of somebody else's fuckup. Nevertheless, your problems are unlikely to generate sympathy from the middle class, in the same way that a middle class teenager's problems aren't likely to generate sympathy from the standard starving kids in Africa.

I don't know why I wrote that in the second person, it's not like anybody to whom it could be addressed will ever read it. Oh well.
