Alleluja

I would just say they (nerds) are perfect natural born betas. And I'm hot!

This is the process I went throught back in 2005 to get a job in IT after graduating in Business in Poland: 1. Got a position with an Indian company that promised a job after paid training ($5k) 2. After 3-month long training they totally and completely faked my resume. I.e. included 5-years experience, fake credentials, fake references. 3. Got me a job with large, large bank. 4. Got half my salary for 6-months. 5. After that I was on my own as I couldnt stand lies anymore.

From my experience 90% + people from H-1B is on these terms in the US. We had trainees on our "camp" that literally haven't seen PC keybaord before. Ending up as IBM tools specialists in Fannie Mea, Freddie Mac, Capital One.

This much about H-1B. And this much about interview process int the US too. And actually about dumb Americans who can't get a job in that country too.

My Dad got himself a brand new laptop (i7, 8gb ram, ssd, etc). And a brand new printer HP OfficeJet (big black shiny machine with all the bells and whistles).

He couldn't print his stuff for work. He called me up. After over an hour I gave up. Windows 8 couldn't figure out which drivers to use. The CDs attached with printer didn't help too. I mean the installation went smoothly, but then nothing was printed. Check your cables, etc. messages like we are still in 1996.

I don't have time for this BS. Drove back home, got my macbook pro. Came back to my Dad's home and did THIS: 1. connect printer to the mac 2. driver installs after clicking 'OK' or 'install', dont even remember at this point 3. print

that's it! Welcome back to 2015!

it is 10% talent and 90% hard work. Not the other way around.

I love coding Ruby. But all the design and front end work? From HTML5 to CSS. Forget it. But if I focused on "effortless" Rails coding only -- this would get me absolutely nowhere. Not to mention unix skills, administration, making customers happy, etc.

Sure, would be easier to work for a big corp and do Rails coding only. But then there are other hard or intolerable things there (intolerable to me!). Like bosses proud they can't code with BA's in Political Science. Or lazy coworkers. Or whatever else.

Life is hard and then you die. If you can find happiness in this sentence (and I can!), if you can still find sense in all of that and be happy somehow. That's happiness. Because sh*t always happens.

And all these rich young kids. They might have problems on their own too. They might have no social live. They might have had no childhood. They may have nobody candid to them to hang out with. They may be poor as far as their people relations go or as far as their free time goes. What's so awesome about working 24/7 and all the money when you have no time to enjoy it? This is being really poor. It's exactly like not being able to afford going to vacation because of lack of money. You can't go period. No money or no time, both make you poor. As lack of social live does.

no worries. Liberals have tendency to be lost every time you ask them about your Consitutiona Rights. At least you are not alone.

Do you think that we got 1st Amendment to talk about whether while drinking tea? No! We got them to ask hard questions. Like why blacks are 75% + od the prison population even though they are only 15% of the general population? `i won't get honest answer to this by anyone because you guys don't believe in human rights (right to free speech) and killed them.

Again, balance. Let me give you an extreme example to picture my way of thinking about it to you. Again, it is an extreme exaggaration.

We have 1938. The whole world is talking about Nazis. French, Russians, Brits, Argentinians. You name it. There will be a war, we have this maniac Hitler there, blah, blah, blah. Then - as a tourist I suppose let's say a tourist from France - you visit the US. No mention of Hitler in the US newspapers. It turns out that Americans give very little thought to Nazi Germany. Why? Because they are all horrified and talk all the time about this prison where criminals suspected of killing thousands of Americans are kept. Turns out they were tortured.

Here in Europe we have ISIS from the South. Putin from the East. It's not like China wastes their time too, especially when you look at their Navy and what it is doing on Vietnamese, and foremost Japanese territorial waters.

Fear not. Guantanamo. US Government is horrible. As bad as Russian Iranian, or Chinese. Without them we would have world peace. Jesus Christ just look at Guantanamo!!!

And then - being a tourist - you are obviously like: how this happened? Why they are like this? And you check their news outlets. Turns out they watch KGB-TV to get their news and trust it more than their Government.

When I see something like this, I'm like, dude you don't deserve democracy you have. You are too stupid for it. You will be a Jew proudly voting NSDAP. (sorry couldn't help myself)

I will omit other comments you made as I might agree on them or not really care that much.

Here is an important (to me!) point that you made:

>I'm not American, so I can't comment on that part. But in general, I agree with you, people need to be more outraged about everything in general. Whether it's something horrible in Russia, or mildly horrible in America, it should spark outrage/action.

You say people need to be more outraged. I say they need to look into things in a balanced way. If you watch Russia TV only and nothing else, there is a very good chance you will be outraged about a few dozen Guantanamo prisoners being tortured not even knowing at all that they media outlet trying to make you angry about it, is at the same time sponsored by organization (KGB, Russian Government) that took part in a genocide of over 1 milion people. If you listen just to Geobbels and never turn on BBC, you are outraged about wrong stuff (you said that), or your opinions are out of balance (that's what I would say).

The problem with people like you is that if we don't do anything inn Syria then you say people die. And if we do something you say because we did something people die.

Very hard to please you.

Genocide of 1 milion of your own citizens - this is what Putin did. You say American presidents are as bad? Really?!

So Hitler saying Roosevelt is horrible because of racism in the US is perfectly fine in your book?

Or what about murderer being a judge in a thief case?

I wish Americans were so ready to see issues in Russia, Iran, China as they are to see very small errors in the US policy.

Russians are banned to even watch CNN nowadays but you guys buy Russia-TV fed propaganda day and night.

Chechnya: if I'd need to compare to the US, it would be like the USA invading New Mexico and doing there a genocide to a tune of over 1 milion people (civilians).

The problem with statements like this is their total lack of balance.

What I mean is that because of Guantanamo you will have people like this going on the air at Russia TV claiming the US Government is a "criminal organization". Nevermind that you are hearing this from KGB sponsored Russia TV that will not discuss at any length things like genocide of over 1 milion chechens or murders ordered by Putin.

For me, it's a bit like someone in the 1930s going to a German Nazi sponsored radio saying how bad racism is in the USA while not thinking twice about anti-semitism of the Germany.

And then at the end of the day you really end up with people who think USA is horrible because of things like Guantanamo being totally prone to Russian propaganda. When Russia is so, so much worse.

The things aren't in perspective when you get rid of context.

you tell me, you started mixing it in your original post

petty remark about gays == prompt employment termination == harming others ???

You mean the ex-employee was harmed as he lost his employment because 1st Amendment doesn't protect him anymore?

it's called "parents rights". It has been since forever. Sorry that not the whole worls lives in your utopian cultural marxist la-la-land.

I think you are pretending

Dislike to all other lifestyles than a liberal one. Attack any religion or ideology that doesn't put humans and their lives on the pedestal. I.e. Amish put there their God. It goes right against the liberal values (i.e. human life and rights are the most important thing not some imaginatory "God").

I like pluralism. I like to live in a country where people believe in different things and are free to express it.

Liberals made the US a bit totalitarian in a sense that you can get fired for petty remarks about gay or races. It almost feels like in a few more years we will have Jacobins with guilottines beheading everyone who doesn't want to be a liberal or cultural marxism proponent.

Very funny how you pretend you don't see it. That's what we call left-wing hypocrisy: you are becoming exactly this what you originally wanted to fight: injust totalitarian crushing anyone not agreeing with your worldview.

Not the whole world needs to follow liberal ideology. It's pluralism. A good thing.

I'm surprised how often liberals turn out to be such a totalitarians. It makes me sad.
