  1. I love Zelany also. Haven't read the new Thomas Covenant books. I read the first 2 series. One of my favorite classics is Siddhartha by Herman Hesse, though my favorite Hesse book is probably Steppewolf. I would say my current favorite book of all time is another book by Alfred Bester. The Stars My Destination. It's Finally back in print and on kindle. For awhile it was up around 80 bucks for a copy. It's about a man who has no skills, no anything, can barely even speak. he is the last survivor in a spaceship that has been floating around for 6 months. the only place still airtight is a little airlocker. When he is making a supply run in the rest of the ship he sees a ship pass so close by that he can see the peoples faces. he sets off all the flares and the ship just ignores him. This fuels a hatred in him that he is driven and he must get revenge on that ship that ignored him. Really good. Bester was a pulp sci fi writer so his writing style is kind of rough but unique. I really enjoy it. Also have you read Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson. Cyberpunk america where the only corporations that exist anymore are pizza delivery which is run by the mob and information gathering by programming/hacking. The main character is a samurai sword wielding pizza delivery driver named Hiro Protagonist lol.
  2. Then just don't fall for the swindle. I waited till black friday (online) and got bf4 for 20 bucks when it was still 60 every where else. I never pre-order and always wait for reviews.
  3. i got the joke.
  4. thug notes does great expectations
  5. I'm currently reading the demolished man by Alfred Bester. fantastic book. I'm more of a scifi guy and like my classics full of dystopian fun.
  6. i work at a bank lol it looks like a bank.
  7. I actually prefer bf4 over bf3, but I don't have as many hours in bf3.
  8. Wugazi.. Mashup of Fugazi and Wu Tang Clan
  9. BF4 for 15 use this coupon code to drop it to 12.75 SEP15OFF http://digital.gamefly.com/#!/download-battlefield-4/5005637?adtrackingid=cmju029
  10. @@OddJob001 I'll test the recruit later tonight, but that command wasn't working for me the other day. lead was still working though.
  11. I'm willing to do that. what jobs are these that you speak of? 100k a year I could retire by the time I am 45 or maybe younger.
  12. You ever think like stuff shouldnt really exist in the first place because how did stuff get here in the first place? like where did the matter that composed the big bang come from? sometimes i think about that stuff and then my head hurts and then i stop thinking about it and just decide that there are some concepts that my human mind is not evolved enough to comprehend. I am still limited by human ideas of time and space.
  13. and bonus pic.
  14. Hey guys. I was just looking through the medals and saw that we have Tank expert and Pilot medals for bf3. I was wondering if we could get similar ones for bf4. and maybe a watercraft/attack boat medal.
  15. so we all agree that the hard labor jobs that get paid min wage shouldnt be? Those are the people I am mostly advocating for. I think we need to have more people like this guy. Took a 90,000 dollars pay cut so he could give his min wage employees 10.25 instead of 7.25.. I think we need more altruistic people in this world. ones that will put their own wants aside for the needs of others. http://www.businessinsider.com/kentucky-state-president-cut-90000-off-his-own-salary-2014-8 I know farm/field workers, janitors, roofers that make min wage, and i think 7.25 is too little for that type of work. Burger flippers. well. that takes 0 skill, and is easy. But I have seen many examples also of what happens with Cobra. Get an education and skills, and still can't find a job. My fiancee is in the same boat. has about 20k in education debt, constantly applies for jobs, I have had professionals look over her resume numerous times, and she can't find anything other than a cashier position. When I first graduated with my associates in 2010 or 2009 I couldn't find a job in my field either. I worked a min wage job and it sucked, but yea it was easy and for what the work required i felt i was getting what i was being paid. Of course I couldn't live off that job because it was just part time at nights so i found another weekend daytime job. I finally found a 3rd job as a voice and data technician. (telecom/networking infrastructure troubleshooting and installation).. also worked on POS systems, phone systems, servers.... that was a hard job but i only got 10/hr at that one. I felt I was underpaid there. I worked 3 jobs for about 6 months before I found my current job. The only reason I found it is because my former professor emailed me letting me know there was an opening before it was even posted publicy so i applied before it was posted. Finally I got my current job which I actually enjoy and make a decent wage (close to 13).. im still underpaid and can't afford to pay back my student loans on top of bills, but its better than 7.25 or 10, and its actually on the mid to high end spectrum for this field in the area. I guess. My point is sometimes the job market fucking blows. even if you have the skills it is hard to find a decent job.
  16. @@B-Murda I explained that in an earlier post. the inflation is much less than what people think. Past research on how business costs rise with minimum wage hikes indicates that a 10-percent minimum wage hike can be expected to produce a cost increase for the average business of less than one-tenth of one percent of their sales revenue. This cost figure includes three components. First, mandated raises: the raises employers must give their workers to meet the new wage floor. Second, “ripple-effect” raises: the raises employers give some workers to put their pay rates a bit above the new minimum in order to preserve the same wage hierarchy before and after minimum wage hike. And third, the higher payroll taxes employers must pay on their now-larger wage bill. If the average businesses wanted to completely cover the cost increase from a 10-percent minimum wage hike through higher prices, they would need to raise their prices by less than 0.1 percent. A price increase of this size amounts to marking up a $100 price tag to $100.10.
  17. yes can we set the sniper limit to 0 lol.
  18. Is it possible to move this one?
  19. Kind of Off topic. but here is how weird it is down here. In the town I grew up in La Feria, Tx segregation in schools was still happening up until 1971 even though it was outlawed in 1954. There were two separate elementaries even though they were not needed. One for Hispanics/Mexicans and one for Anglos. All of the teachers in the district were white even though the town is 95% hispanic. Finally in 71 a superintendent came into power and forced compliance with segragation laws. Also people keep saying just burger flippers. But as I have mentioned there are many hard working people who work difficult jobs that also make minimum wage. There is an interesting documentary about the area I am from called Valley of Tears which documents the struggle of mexican-american farm workers striking against shitty wages and poor working conditions in Raymondville, Tx.. http://www.lpbp.org/valleyoftears/synopsis.htm
  20. Nah its fake, check out the dudes youtube channel.
