So. Much. Porn. @_@
I'll have what he's having.
Yeah, we're gonna need some... context. For... reasons.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

I've never really understood why someone would put porn on a USB drive. I mean really can you not at least wait 'till you get home. Although maybe we shouldn't go very deep into this subject.

... I once found a thumb drive under a bush in a park. I was pissed when my friend stomped on it. Thinking back, that park was filled with 3-4 drug dealers all the time, so I may have dodged a bullet.

For a short time I worked as a houseman at a local hilton.  She always had me follow her around while she inspects the floors, and wouldn't let me work with the rest of the housekeeping staff.  (Which were all from outside the country and treated like crap)

She would always do a pre inspection of the vacated rooms before letting the housekeeping staff in, and dragged me along with her.  The pre inspection was said to make sure the clients had actually left, but it was more along the lines of her scooping up any left tips so the staff doesn't get it.

We would often find lost electronics and usb drives too, all of which were supposed to be immediately turned into the front desk lost and found so that if front desk got a call asking about them they had it.  She never turned them in.  In fact with USB drives she would plug them into her office computer to see what's on them, opening files and running any program that looked interesting.  While keeping me in the office for hours at a time having me try to identify the programs for her.

The general manager was always complaining about how viruses kept getting on to their network despite most of the computer systems not having internet access.

I eventually got sick of all that and asked to be transferred to the maintenance department.  A day later the housekeeping supervisor changed my schedule after I left (one of the housekeeping staff told me as much when I was on my way out after being fired) and fired me when I showed up two hours late "without calling".

I'd have reported her ass in the first week. Without telling her, and anonymously, of course.

While it can be a bit gross and the people who let their kids do it wherever in public are disgusting, the overall concept saves significant amounts of money, leads to significantly earlier and more likely successful potty training, causes fewer health issues and costs less money.

Babies are pretty disgusting anyway you're never gonna be able to do anything about that, but learning early on what you need to know to get them going in the toilet instead of in a diaper is unlikely to make it worse.

ewww.

That's pretty much the standard in China. They make pants that split open at the crotch, from front to back, so the toddler can just squat in the sidewalk and go (or on the train or the street or...).
While it's kinda disgusting, imagine how many metric fucking tons of landfill China would generate in a single day if they all switched to Pampers.

So, with all this talk of USB drives, I am tempted to go out and buy a high-capacity one, fill it with porn of all shapes and sizes, and leave it sitting out in the computer area of a library. Someone would, almost inevitably, plug it in. The poor, outdated machine would have a single moment to consider this before being hastily shut down. I like to think that it would say something meaningful. Perhaps... "My god, it's full of porn stars..."

Believe it or not, I don't think porn is against the actual regulations in any of the libraries I have frequented.

So, since my academic education is kind of in the air right now and I won't know if I'll continue or not (kinda depends on how I do the next round of exams) my dad asks me what I plan on doing if it doesn't work out. Would I enroll in a university back home?

And I decide to be honest and say no, because I've spent two years doing what basically amounted to nothing, learning nothing of value while paying a lot for it, so why the fuck would I give that up, only to take up the same thing, except, this time around I'd have you hanging around constantly reminding me that every moment I don't spend studying is a worthless waste of time, while also dealing with the total and utter chaos and idiocy that are the universities in this town. No, I'd much rather try my luck with any kind of job.

To which he starts making exhasperating sounds and all that pity shit and telling me what chance do I have finding a job or what job that would be and that I need to try harder with a university, no matter what it is.

That was all context, the real WTF is that this comes from a man who threw a small fit over me daring to switch courses because what the fuck did I do for the last two years if I'm willing to start from scratch again (which I wouldn't be).
So wasting time, money and nerves is ok if you suggest it, but not if it's something I choose?

Fuck.

You.

Ehn. Fairly sure it's a criminal offense to display porn in an area accessible to minors, at least in (most?) parts of the states. Distribution of pornography to minors, something like that... not sure if it's a misdemeanor or a felony, though. Point being they generally don't have to specifically state "Don't do this" if it's flat out illegal anyway.

I smell some appeals to emotion. And a concept that makes little sense. Both intelligence and character are learned rather than genetic.
