Somehow I've become addicted to "Star wars: Rebels"

Also: Travel abroad, meet people, learn the different ways your name and surname can get misspelled (today, I saw someone miswrite the latter as ending in "ghoul")

[MrRoboto75]

Why the fuck do I even bother waking up in the morning anymore?

[milo christiansen]

You mean you aren't born with two years experience in everything?

At least it isn't 10 years experience in technologies that have existed for 4 years...

Raul the Ghoul?

Poghoul?

Like it even matters

Its a miracle when an employer even recognizes I exist.

[Silverthrone]

I do not pay any particular attention to that sort of silly demands. Not any more. I apply and leave the matter to them.

"For this position, we would like you to be 20-25 years old, with four to six years of experience in management, corporate law, data entry, technical support, catamite scrubbing, owl stretching and flower arrangement. We would also like you to have completed a university degree in law, data analysis and classical Greek. We would also like you to be a frequent gym-goer and marathon runner."

Why, that sounds fantastic, SpunCorp, quite reasonable. Now, I would like a full vision and dental package, I would like seventy-five thousand crowns per month, I would like a generous stock option, an eight-week holiday, carte blanche to smoke my pipe in the office, carte blanche to drink during working hours, dark oak panelling in my cubicle and the director's daughter's hand in marriage.

We would all like a lot of things. Apply, and bugger their lists. I doubt they are carefully followed in most cases, anyway. They would be terribly short of staff otherwise, no doubt.

[MrRoboto75]

With me and 300 other people applying to the same jobs, employers can be as pointlessly picky as they want to be.  And employee turnaround can be as high as it needs to be.

Pfft, you foreigners with your silly spelling. Why not just abandon your cultural upbringing and anglicise your name, making it easier on everyone that isn't you?

[pisskop]

Names are remarkable in that they are distinctly individual and simultaneously required in some fashion in order to operate as a unit of some 'many'.

Would it be possible for any society with sufficient technology and industry to obsolete a permanent name for an individual?

Arghoul, if you must know

You mean internet usernames you can mostly change at will?

Name changing works. The only issue is that it can cause people to stop recognizing.

[itisnotlogical]

Why are fidget spinners popular. It's like one of those terrible modern toys that they try so hard to tell you are cool in the commercials, and even children can smell the desperation underneath the fake hip hop and 30-year-old men pretending to be early teenagers. Like... Nak Naks or something. It's like that, except it somehow became genuinely popular.

[pisskop]

Pogs were cool.  remember how pointless pogs were?

[helmacon]

di.. did you just link me to a yahoo search? You monster!

Also, I had some Nak Nak's at one point. They were not very cool, but also oddly satisfying to click back and forth. I think my parents threw it away eventually because I would always just absent mindedly click it back and forth all the time.

Pogs you say?
