  • The secret of success is sincerity. Once you can fake that, you’ve got it made.

  • So then… how *impossible* does the bureaucracy make it for this infant to be adopted?

  • *OBVUIOUSLY* she must be a RACIST!!!

  • NO! Not Marisa Tomei!?!?!
    My heart is forevermore broken!!!!

  • Guess which crowd ended up cleaning up the crap left by the other crowd…

  • NO WORRIES KIDDOS!!!

    If it can be done by the Feds….
    it can be overtaken and controlled by John Galt!!!

  • This is a great story… but it is not surprising in the least… *AND* I just wanted to add a bit of pride (anti-humility) for the tribe known as “surfers.”

    Anyone who’s been a serious surfer (meaning getting out in the water regardless of conditions at least several times a month, year in & out, for a decade or longer,) has either saved someone from drowning directly, or been involved in a saving indirectly. It just happens a lot more (without any fanfare) than you might imagine.

    A lot of times its a young kid that surfers save, or an older/weaker person swimming past their safe zone. Usually nobody else is around… and the last thing us surfers want is some big dramatic ordeal to play out. Many surfers are trained in life-saving techniques because we love the water, and live a lot of time in it. We escape our own death all the time, so for us its really not a big deal to help someone else escape their death.

  • The bickest crock is that this not only *DOES NOT* save any energy or resources, it actually CONSUMES MORE energy!

    The only thing an existing “trash” file is, is electron-manipulated media (magnets or similar.) When you “delete” something, it is simply marked for no further recognition or useage.

    In order to “recycle” in this scheme, *MORE* electrons must be used to transfer that file over the internet (likely across many servers along the way,) to the holding server where it is again recorded to a media… then when the next person ‘downloads’ it the whole process reproduces itself all over again.

    MOST IMPORTANTLY… what non-secure data would anyone want to use off of anyone else’s files???

    This is as silly as the old “internet mall” idea from a decade ago…

  • This author’s conclusion is wrong due to backwardization, in my opinion.

    Its based on the assumption that institutional advanced education is a cause of higher income and greater stability, which is false. It *IS* a correllative effect, but not a causative effect. In other words, it tends to happen simultaneously (like mustard & ketchup tend to occur on hotdogs,) but one isn’t causing the other.

    Sociologists have long recognized that females tend to have shorter and less stable careers (*TENDANCY* being the key here… not *always*… but dramatically more than males) due to physiological realities. Specifically, males have no uterus nor milk-producing breasts, and thus cannot take over the roughly 2-3 year period of gestation, delivery, and primary nursing of offspring (PER each offspring.)

    Further, since every employer knows that the odds of losing a female to “family development” is simply higher than that of a male… *AND* that the odds of a male being emotionally leveraged to over-work and over-extend IN COMPENSATION to their family stacks the economics in favor of hiring a male for long-term career positions, and competitively compensating them to retain.

    LASTLY; Traditional institutional “higher education” is a bubble at or nearing its peak right now… Its pricing cannot be sustainable in the current bloating trend, and its attendance growth (and dropping of standards in order to accomodate the attendance growth) virtually guarantee that the employers of tomorrow will discount is value in an employee to the point where it no longer makes sense for the employee to have invested the years & money to get the institutional degree in the 1st place.

    Employers of the future are far more likely to place a premium value on specialized education acquired via technology (i.e. “virtual university”) since that will be the universe of production that the employees will be working in.

    Ironically… *THAT* will be the much greater “gender equalizer”….

  • Such class

    Nobody hates like liberals hate…
