EmmyOk posted:Don't you think that would cause resentment between your sons and daughters? Also the wine coolers thing sounds p weird to me Resentment, maybe? But perhaps the daugthers would also envy the extra attention lavished on the sons. When everyone feels like that they have something that someone else in the family wished they had, i think everyone would become at ease with their place within it. Anyways daughters have always hated their mothers and sons have always wanted to kill their fathers, so in that respect the system i imagine would not change anything.

One of my trivia teammembers went to her cousin's dry wedding. Held in the afternoon, and registered at Wal-Mart (she wasn't kidding). Not even champagne. When it came time to toast, they brought out literal bottles of Welch's grape juice to pour into champagne glasses. Not even sparkling grape juice.

I'm apparently the last person to see Black Panther, but I finally saw it and thought it was pretty bad. Looking at the overwhelming positive response this movie has gotten, I'm kind of surprised at this. There were so many scenes that dragged on that could have been handled differently or in a shorter timeframe, the CGI was bad (especially in that Korean club scene), and Killmonger's motivations seemed pretty hackneyed and underdeveloped. I don't particularly care for Marvel, but I was under the impression this would be one of the better movies.

Kitchen jobs in fact are not babby jobs for teens and morons. They are strenuous, at bad hours, in dangerous environments, and take skill to be good at. If you replaced burgers and fries with steel widgets people would be singing the praises of the noble McStaff even if the process was identical to running a McKitchenStation for a shift. And “flip burgers” and “take orders” are not loving stations. You will do a shitload during a shift, including making decisions that seriously effect the place. After a week it may be your sole duty to gauge how many 1/4lbers the next hour of drive thru will need or whatever. Among x many different items that need to be cooking before the order but not too long. All you, kid. And you’ll take the fall if you screw it. “My burger was cold and they didn’t hold the onion, idiots” Yeah, because you paid two bucks on a 1.50 food cost sandwich. Enjoy way more than the labour you paid for. Edgar Allen Ho has a new favorite as of 02:32 on May 4, 2018 |

They won’t, though Lol when dickheads act like the 14th variation of “order with the touchscreen” shows up like this time the whiners will get it and lose their precious jobs. Touchscreens and robots have been doing restaurant jobs for twenty years. The person who takes your order punches it into a touchscreen exactly like the one that has been “taking their job” since the 90s except more complicated and sans GUI, and they’ll still be there. Don’t get me started on kitchens. And I’m not just talking fast food here. Good sit down restaurants are worse and even less likely to Get Automated Like You Deserve You Whiner

Everyone will be either dung farming cave mushrooms for subsistence or hang somewhere along the food chain of an industrial human ranch. Most will do these things out of terrifying necessity, but I've got a head start as an amateur and a hobbyist.

His character development is all done in like 2 minutes of exposition from Bilbo and Shuri. All I heard was "JSOC, MIT, blah blah" and then there was nothing after that. That's his entire character.

When your software or OS updates and poo poo changes you just loving learn how to use the new thing. You're making poo poo harder on yourself by constantly loving with the settings to make it look like the old thing, or installing "Classic Start Menu" &c or, and this is the worst, just never updating your poo poo. I luckily got my friend who never updated from Firefox 4 or some poo poo because they didn't like the way the address bar looked to get out of that habit, but god drat. You're gonna have to catch up eventually and then it'll be even more jarring because you've insisted your computer must look and act like Windows 95 for your whole life! Just adapt to change!!

The change sucks though. Windows 10 works but I can't say it was an improvement over windows 8 or 7. I don't want my computer to look more and more like a phone and don't give a poo poo about laptops having touchscreens. Why would you want your computer to have a touchscreen? I hate it when people touch my screen as it is and get their greasy fingerprints on it, I'm not about to fingerprint it up myself.

Overall unpopular opinion about the issue: it's fine to acknowledge some change is bad. Aggressive rejection of anything and everything traditional is one of the things that annoys me the most about people my age. Change isn't always good and it's not only OK but important to point out when the changes make things worse, whether it's in computers or politics or whatever.

I got a Surface mostly for its drawing capabilities but there are a bunch of little things that I've come to enjoy about the touchscreen, such as scrolling through websites or hitting buttons quickly. I wouldn't want it just for that but it is a nice bonus.

Yeah Microsoft deciding that everything should be unified so everything is now a phone was loving stupid. A PC with a mouse and a keyboard should not try to emulate a phone with a touch screen. They are different things. For better or for worse the start menu works. It's handy as hell. Then again the other side of that is it took Microsoft quite a long time to kill Clippy. A hell of a lot of people got really upset when that little aluminum poo poo went away for...some reason. I have no idea.

I mostly skipped Windows 8 (aside from the loaner laptop I was using at work when I was between computers there) and going from Windows 7 to 10 didn't feel like a huge change, but trying to use Windows 8, even now, feels like I've wandered into a funhouse mirror dimension.

Suffering is not good for you. However, some amount of physical pain can make you focus more and give you perspective. I had a really painful foot issue (that hopefully is resolved now and getting better) and both worked and worked out through it, though at reduced intensity. Was a good reminder of how simple things we take for granted are not guaranteed to always be there. I was ennobled by the pain.

Social media is bad I agree, but I think the root problem is being able to constantly access it. If smartphones and/or cheap highspeed internet everywhere didn't exist and we were still using flipphones and had to wait until we got home to connect to dialup internet to update our livejournals I think society would be better off.

I completely agree! and not just because I still have a sick early adopter lj account. I feel like the comparatively infrequent access that went hand in hand with the earlier incarnations of social media at least allowed for an environment where people were as likely to share their actual thoughts as they were stupid quizzes or whatever. I rarely feel legitimately updated by anyone’s updates anymore.

Change isn't always good and it's not only OK but important to point out when the changes make things worse, whether it's in computers or politics or whatever. on the other hand, the rate of change is so fast nowadays that the rejection of tradition is an understandable and healthy reaction to needing to be more flexible in an ever-evolving world. there's a reason our parents are flipping a poo poo at all these changes, their systems and traditions don't have anything to cope with progress moving this fast. when tradition fails us, we try to compensate ourselves, and so yeah it doesn't always work out. it's good to be honest that all change isn't good, but changing, trying, and failing - that's part of trying new poo poo. some are hits, some misses. your post is making it sound like you're young so: try not to become a curmudgeon just yet, you've got too much loving up ahead of you to be this worried about it StrangersInTheNight has a new favorite as of 11:09 on May 6, 2018 |

I am doomed for all eternity to eat rear end after I opened up that cursed mummy tomb, I don't do it by choice. anyway change is inevitable but there should be a balance. The georgia guidestones say it best where all things need to be ruled with "tempered reason". If a tradition is good, keep it. If it's bad, get rid of it. Don't just get rid of it for the sole reason that you associate it with your parents/old people.
