Yeah, they do.

I don't care about all of the stories, especially when half of them are hearsay.

I'd call not enforcing the actual punishment a slap on the wrist.

When someone was firing a "machine gun" in the vicinity, that might not be the worst idea. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

I mean, look at the shenanigans Wells Fargo gets caught up in, which are worse than "buying likes" bot activity. Is it that unbelievable some manager with a bonus tied up in vanity metrics would use bots to boost them?

> She has recently come to realize that some aspect of her every social interaction with men between the ages of 14 and 68 is "hmmm, I wonder what it would be like to engage in coitus with this young woman?"

Yeah, see, that's where that ideology falls flat on its ass. It's far from the truth and just promotes some kind of "gender warfare" bullshit.

> They have a crappy job and low pay. Dealing with the stress of computer generated everchanging schedules, rude customers, and management that treats you like a child is bad enough. When you couple that with barley making enough to survive, it's​ a pretty tough existence (realitive to my own).

It's possible to make quite a nice living working F&B, a customer service job, in a tourist town. Don't just assume everyone working a role is beneath you and living some kind of shit existence.

Who is to say they don't have healthcare?

> I'd take it step further. You should be gracious to a fault to the person at the lunch counter. Their life categorically sucks.

That's awfully fucking judgmental. I've got friends who have been working in the service industry their whole life. Many of them are much happier than I am. Just because you have some high paying office job doesn't mean your life is automatically better.

Considering you haven't proven any deliberate imbalance.

Equal opportunity exists. You're asking for equal outcomes.

> That's why the US has lots of regulations regarding advertising to children.

We have regulation on advertisements to children? That's a little surprising.

Which is fine, but that's not what the comment was talking about.

How about refute the core of the work instead of focusing on a small issue?

To be honest, HN is not all that much better if you're not a fan of the chosen party and it's liberal inclinations. You just get brigaded to death.

Because I live in a residential neighborhood with residential zoning, and I don't want to deal with itinerant neighbors with little regard for the neighborhood. You want to run a B&B? Go through the proper legal channels and build a legitimate business.

How about this: I hope the hotels successfully lobby to enforce existing zoning laws. I don't want my neighbors running a business out of their house. If they break the law, punish them. Simple as that.

It's going to vary person-to-person. I did it for two years, and it mentally destroyed me. Eventually I was spending every night out getting shitfaced drunk because I couldn't stand another moment alone at home.

I work in an office now. I can work from home a day or two now and again, but it's 8.30 - 4.30 Monday thru Friday in the office for the most part. Don't assume working remote works for everyone simply because it does for you.

Would not at all surprise me. Twitter regularly censors popular right-of-center Twitter accounts.

So what do you do when someone refuses to leave?

I'm on the doctor's side, United should not overbook a plane and bump a customer to get their own people on board, but when someone refuses to leave what other options do you have? Taze him and drag him off? You'll have to use force to remove someone.

In other words, MySQL is the PHP of RDBMSes.

There are many factions in the Syrian civil war, not just Assad and ISIS. I'm sure many an ISIS fighter would just join another faction, e.g. Al Qaeda affiliates, had ISIS not arisen.

Do you have something constructive to add?

Bury your head in the sand, man. We're not looking at reasonable folks. It's just one side trying to piss on the other.

Not that I'm pro-cut, but to a budget hawk any spending is too much spending regardless of matched contribution.

Edit: Keep on downvoting, it's not going to change the opposition's persepctive.

I don't know how movies and merchandising typically operate, but it used to be the case that musicians did their merchandising separate from their music deals. This meant that buying a t-shirt and a ticket would contribute more money to an artist than a record sale. I've seen articles and comments floating around that "360 deals"[0] are becoming the norm, due to dwindling record sales. These deals mean a cut of everything goes back to the record company.

(Commenting to save this for later.)

You've just had "college is the only way" drilled into your head for the 13 years. You've been told and conditioned to understand that if you do not go to college, you will be flipping hamburgers for minimum wage. The people telling you this are your parents, your friends' parents, your teachers, your principals, your guidance counselors. All of these people are supposed to help you, right?

Of course, you've also go to contend with the fact that it's culturally acceptable for your parents to toss you out on your ass the day you hit eighteen. So you're faced with the prospect of having to go it your own, at eighteen with no life experience and probably very little savings. There's probably very few jobs in the area, and it would be hard to live off them. Or you can just sign your name on a piece of paper and be whisked away to the mythical land of college. Who knows, you'll probably get to drink with your bros and get laid. Sounds like a great time?

At a certain point this stuff stops being "think for yourself" and is just straight up indoctrination. Maybe you're lucky and your school district has some kind of alternative program for trades, or maybe JROTC and you figure out the military isn't a horrible option. For most? It's not even a consideration, it's college or a life of failure. I can't really blame a lot of folks for not realizing how shit things would be. They were brainwashed.

The knowledge that you won't get away with rape, kidnap, or robbery acts as a deterrent.

Holy hell. I got my start in software hacking on NES ROMs many years ago. NESticle definitely played a part in me being who I am today. It's strange to see things getting old, but I guess so am I.
