On that note, let me post three of the four best BWM-related SA threads of all time. 4. Scammed by dealership, and I'm taking it to the news, wherein a dumbass teenager hotfoots it to his local Nissan dealership and signs a contract he neither read nor understands and that he trusted the dealer to explain to him. 3. Decreasing credit lines, increasing interest rates, and bankruptcy., wherein a dumbass alcoholic college student explains why bankruptcy is the most appropriate course of action and why won't you mean goons stop telling me I'm a drunk? 2. YEAR, n. A period of three hundred and sixty-five disappointments (zaurg's first thread). Seriously, you have to just spend a weekend reading through it. 1. The Zaurg story: you really are revolting (zaurg's second thread). It was such a "goon in a well" scenario come to life that the mods took pity on the readership and gassed it. If you don't hate humanity enough after reading his first thread, read this one over another weekend. Make sure to put all weapons out of reach beforehand. Those with high blood pressure should not read this thread. Honourable mention: The Cornholio Thraed, wherein a BWM goon sees the light and makes a full conversion to GWM status and forum legend. edit: Thanks to Scudworth for linking me to the missing zaurg threads. Also, I didn't put Slow Motion in here because I bailed out of reading that one after 10 pages or so and TBH have no idea what went down.

Krispy Kareem posted:Robots are Japan's answer, so we'll see how they manage it and adopt the good 'non-killing grandma' parts for our own old people. Robots are just as wildly suited to the task and successful here as they are in any other country, which is to stay, thy aren't. Cool Japan loves to push the idea of hyperroboticisation taking place here, but it's simply a mix of "keep those sweet tourist dollars/attention marbles coming in" and "give us a springboard for the real purpose of robot development, which is selling them to factories and stuff". Japan's actual answer is "continue to exploit young people by preventing them from getting full employment and forcing them into working both a job at the convenience store and a job at the old folks' home and never, never, never considering an increase in the number of migrants we let in to the country permanently". ate all the Oreos posted:Speaking of that and BWM (and also horribly creepy), for only $2700 you can now get your very own anime hologram waifu to pretend your single salaryman life isn't crushingly void and empty: Please stop it with the "wacky Japan" stories. Hey i heard you can go to shooting ranges in the US and fire machine guns at a photo target of your choice, how bout that incredibly violent and murderous everyday society over there amirite?" Also Japan already has a net birth rate of less than zero, but they are scared to death of using immigration to bolster the numbers because a long list of worthless stereotypes they hold about filthy foreigners.

Why is it every American child's dream to "be a CEO" these days? Why is every manchild working out of Starbucks or their friend's bedroom a "chief something or other"? I would have thought a more concrete dream like "own my own _____ company" or "create the world's best ______" would be the sort of thing people aim for, instead of a meaningless title. Do people dream of being middle managers as well?

EAT FASTER!!!!!! posted:Heads up $30,000 in Bitcoin 5 years ago would have seen a 10-25 fold return on your money to between $300,000 and $750,000. Heads up you would have lost it all already through "hacks", exchanges being "hacked" or simply shutting down and disappearing, or having your bank account frozen for suspected money laundering.

Krispy Kareem posted:When I was in banking we justified reordering because the largest check is almost always the most important (rent, car payment) and therefore the one you can least afford to bounce. That is some lovely, lovely logic that is nothing but a weaselly excuse to gently caress your customers. The only objective way to order the transactions is in the exact sequence that they were received. And I don't mean "lol our system just happens to receive big transactions first heh heh". Those loving banks can measure microseconds when they want to charge interest—they can well handle marking time stamps from POS terminals. tl;dr: gently caress that noise and gently caress banks

There's lots of hand waving and justifications possible for why your country likes to gently caress its young people financially so much, but it's really all irrelevant blathering when faced with "well Australia manages to do it so why can't you?" Edit: inb4 all the usual excuses why the country that sent humans to the moon and possesses weapons of mass destruction somehow can't do the same kind of thing

potatoducks posted:What's so great about Australia? Don't they basically just do IBR? University fees are loaned by the government and the government alone; the money goes directly from the govt to the university, so it can't be used for other purposes; you can get a discount for paying over a certain amount (in my day, $500) back at a time; otherwise repayment begins when your income reaches a certain threshold (I think about $50,000 p.a. now) and is withheld by your employer; the accrued debt is indexed to the consumer price index, but not charged interest. Basically a fair system that takes its users' (institutions and students) needs into account and doesn't screw people over. At the same time though, it doesn't give the Free Market™ a felch and a reach-around at the same time, so I can see why certain countries wouldn't like it. I Like Jell-O posted:If you think university should be paid for by the government, that's fine, but it really doesn't have anything to do with bankruptcy laws. The United States has probably the most generous, most consumer friendly bankruptcy system in the world. It's a really good thing. Can you name any country where student loan debt is easily dischargeable in bankruptcy? I didn't say uni should be paid for by the government, either in my initial post or above. Also "Can you name any country where student loan debt is easily dischargeable in bankruptcy?" is a massive miss of the point—why the gently caress should student loans be coming from the private (profit-seeking) sector and non-dischargeable in bankruptcy to start with?

Hmm it's almost like that's not the only other choice! - The tuition fees are loaned by the government - Students start paying them back in proportion to their income after they have secured a job with a decent enough income - The public gets its money back - No one goes bankrupt because no one is forced into bankruptcy! Again, there's no fellation of the Free Market (pbuh) but omelette, breaking eggs, etc.

What if I'm taking a shower and I slip on a bar of soap? *gasp* I'd be killed! You keep defending the system that is proven to be actually loving people up for life, VC mogul Subjunctive. If that works for you, great. I'll take the inferior method that educates people and launches them into adulthood without hanging millstones around their necks oh and also still hasn't bankrupted the entire country for some reason.

Seriously this. Or at least jail time in regular old prison, not white collar prison. There are no consequences for failure for either the banks (as a corporate entity) or the people who run them. Oh I made $4 million a year as CEO for the last five years and I get a $40 million severance if I leave for any reason up to and exceeding "ran the place into the loving ground"? Boo hoo hoo, whatever will I do with the rest of my life and my golden yachts. Put some actualy consequences into white-collar crime and we might start making progress as a society again. They gently caress people up over minor drug possession or "stole a hundred dollars from a store", but leech a million times that from society as a whole and you get on the Who's Who list.
