2: buy some white paper sticker and number them 0 to 1000
3: creates a website called, www.savemyporn.com
4: let people register and donate money in exchange for a tape (min $5)
5: send them to the people who donated
6: tell your psychiatrist is a cunt for making you go through this

We lived together for a couple years in a tiny apt. Then we went our separate ways, now are living together again. This time with 3-4 times the space, yet we still have our desks / bed / kitchen all in one corner. Old habits die hard I guess. We do have to walk ALL the way over there, across the studio through another area, just to use the restroom... kinda funny. Can't wait until were settled in though. My favorite space ever. Maybe I'll post pics if we get it painted and furnished to our liking soon enough.

I have the next four work days off (just using up vacation days before the calendar resets in March), so naturally I woke up sick as a dog this morning – I'll spend my time off being sick, and I can't call in sick today or it looks like I'm padding out my time off.
- hope you feel better soon! :(

What is the meaning of life? Seems we don't really have free will but a slave seeking pleasure and avoiding pain along the way. Why are we here?

40˚C ++ temps at the moment.
The birds out side are just sitting in the shade with their beaks wide open looking like they are going to die. Sad. Makes me think the apocalypse would be really heartbreaking if anything.- Just a couple more days : ( At least they stopped the tennis today - that was madness!MrT

this why should learn something to become self sufficient and not depend of big daddy state,
-- -- --
copied from here >>> http://www.reddit.com/r/Automate…For every job opening in the US, there are 3 people looking for work. That's really all you need to know.
And it's going to get worse.
You know that fancy billing program that generates quotes and invoices automatically? That used to be someone's job.
That fancy spreadsheet? That was someone's job once.
I remember when I was going to school for Drafting and all of the instructors were insistent on the fact that you absolutely, positively, 100% HAD to have an expert knowledge of trigonometry in order to draw.
But you don't. The best grade I ever got in Trig was a D+. And I can draw. I've never needed to do anything beyond basic math when using AutoCAD.
It's more than just robots that are going to take our jobs away. Automation in software is going to do as much if not more damage to the outlook. Engineering degrees are becoming less and less about the concepts behind design. They are teaching you less and less why to design something a certain way and more and more how to do so. A modern engineering degree is more of a "How to use software programs X,Y and Z" course than a "how to engineer" course.
Back before these tasks were automated in software, they had to be done by hand, by very smart people, who were in extreme high demand, and made lots of money as a result.
Software has dumbed-down so many of those advanced tasks that someone with barely any knowledge of the concept behind it can do the task equally as well as the knowledgeable person. Companies see that and the "Cost savings! Cost savings!" alarm goes off in the board room. No need to hire the engineer who got straight As and has 30 years of experience when the intern knows the software better.
We're moving very quickly to becoming a post-scarcity society where automation and advances in information technology make just about everything so cheap to make and obtain it basically becomes free.
Now, we may laud these advances and say "that's the whole point! We don't have to work as much!" But when you look at what's actually happening, it's the opposite. My generation (I'm either a millenial or a gen-xer depending on who you ask, but this applies to both) works longer hours than the generations before us. We take fewer vacation days. We are more productive.
But at the same time, we are getting paid less. Why? Because we're still living in that old mentality where hours worked has a direct correlation to added value to the company. Most of us know that's not true, and few companies are under the illusion that everyone is exactly as productive at 4:30 pm on a Friday as they are at 10 am on a Wednesday. But how do you measure productivity? We haven't figured that out yet, at least not in a way that's fair, consistent, and manageable. Until we do, we're still largely going to pretend that hours = value, and watch as hours get cut, benefits get slashed, and older, more skilled workers are put out to pasture and replaced with younger, cheaper workers. All of the value automation adds to a process go directly to the top, and the human workers get their wages slashed and their jobs cut.
The unemployed are sneered at with derision for not "wanting to work," as if there is some pressing task that needs to be accomplished that isn't already being done. That's the old farmhouse mentality again. 100 years ago if you didn't work, you died. That's not true now. It can't be true because there isn't enough work to keep everyone busy in the first place. We've corporatized, mechanized, and automated farming, banking, government, you-name it. We have unemployed because things don't need to get done like they used to. But the concept of paying someone not to work is such an anathema to the down-home, work-based, agricultural values we were raised with that most of us simply shut our brains off when we even hear the notion.
Either we accept the fact that even if every job opening were filled today, there'd still be millions of people who will be perpetually unemployed and deal with that in a humane manner; or, we continue to let the system work as if we're all agricultural workers and let those increase profits reaped by automation rise to the top, and wake up one day realizing the middle class has all but disappeared and the feudal system has returned.
