Obama first term when i was in the military. That was back in my raging liberal years.

drakegrim posted:

na i make a poo poo load of money now, but that was the market where i lived. There was a bull market of IT professionals. you missed the point, i was unhappy with what i was making so i went to school, and getting out of school with almost no experiance i was at 50k. With experience i went up to 80k. Working for IBM i went up to 189k with getting a masters, all sorts of certs, etc. if you are not happy with making what you make, then get education, get experience and move up. its also called free market capitalism.

So in the 6 years since Obama has been president you have done the following.

(a) got out of the military
(b) got a job and was unhappy with what you made so you decided to go back to school
(c) went to school to get a bachelors degree in IT
(d) after getting a bachelors you got a job and gained enough experience to get to 80k
(e) in all that time also got a masters and now work at IBM

So to recap in 6 years you got both a bachelors, a masters, and gained work experience.

I guess congrats on being a randian superman... or just lying out your rear end.

We haven't had a true believer in a while (or at least that's the vibe I'm getting, if he's a bog-standard troll he's not setting off any of my alarms). It's kind of refreshing.

I'm sure This Is The Joke, but everything like this ever said in the history of humanity was someone "only joking".

I find it uniquely horrifying myself, and I wonder if it's just the start of some absolutely spectacular poo poo we will see as the election goes on.

One of my favorite "racist quotes" from that list is anytime a white person points out systemic racism all of a sudden racists accuse that person of being racist.

Someone that says "wow Obama would have been a servant in the white house X years ago" isn't being racist they're just pointing out systemic racism.

Don't worry, I'm sure he won't get Fired over the tweet.

On the other hand, I doubt the Tweet will net him 100k+ in donations either, score another for our PC fascism :rolleyes:

Calm down troll, he's not running for president because then he would have to disclose his financial statements which would shatter the house of cards image he uses to make his money.

Give me a realistic example where spending four years studying Shakespeare will ever become crucially important and levereagable, as opposed to computer skills that you can use in most job opportunities these days (even min. wage ones).

Okay one of the worlds oligarchs decides they really loving love Shakespeare they get into it and now their sycophants get into it as well making everything related to Shakespeare considerably valuable. Countries who permitted and facilitated the study of shakespere now have an economic advantage as they have a greater ability to produce things the new shakspereophillic demand. This example can be expanded to basically any underinvested field.

Also I don't think you can count being able to push two or three keys on a keyboard for a terribly designed POS as computer skills.

Yes, because people who believe the things he said don't exist. Yep, they are merely figments of liberal imagination. They certainly don't vote, either, and absolutely have not filled both houses of Congress with shitheel Republicans.

But you can't really practice against someone who is deliberately posting stupid poo poo. Either the person you're training for is more reasonable than the troll, meaning that your training only against the "opening statements", or the person you're arguing against is equally as disingenuous as the troll, meaning you'll accomplish nothing in the long run
