Which means it should be here by next week.

You just can't come up with your own ideas!

It is a little disappointing

agent86

@Wipqozn I could; but you have forced my hand; semicolon.

while not your nemesis I cannot come up with original, highly abusive punishments for you. this is your own doing, former nemesis.

your punishment shall be: mediocre punishments

Wipqozn

@agent86 You know, if you want to be my nemesis again all you need to do is apologize.

Tim Stone

Point @agent86 for using a technicality.

agent86

@Wipqozn it is not I who wronged you; rather the other way 'round: punctuation.

SO SAYS THE YARL OF NEMESISLESSNESS! HEED WELL!

@TimStone don't I get another point for justifiable laziness? that's like the best kind of laziness.

this is the appropriate level of groveling required.

Wipqozn

@agent86 I agree, that is how much groveling you need to do for me to forgive you.

agent86

9:17 PM

@Wipqozn at this rate, you're never going to get abused by me ever again. think about that for a minute. the rest of your abuse is grade-school tee-ball versus the New York Yankees. it's just some tepid, off-brand, generic cola. What I'm making is classic Coke.

Do you really wanna live in a world without Coca-Cola?

Oh wow Chrome OS exploits are going for 150k now

@AshleyNunn It's hard to tell whether they themselves are being lied to, or if they're the one's doing the lying.

One is them being taken advantage of, the other is them taking advantage of others.

@AshleyNunn I dunno. This guy backed down super quick when I started calling him on his BS. At some point, they have a stake in making you believe it, true or not.

I take it by the lack of stars there hasn't been any word yet from @StrixVaria?

Frank

I can't seem to word my response to this in a manner that doesn't sound absolutely brutal and cold. Which is definitely not what I'm going for.

It just seems that this type of job is a straight up lose-lose situation for everybody but the company they work for.

FAE

@Frank It is, but if it's the choice between that and being out on the streets because you can't pay your bills and you have kids to feed...

Wipqozn

11:13 PM

@Frank It basically is, but that's why you really can't blame them. It's either shit job, or street living.

user15026

@Wipqozn yaaaaaaaay

Wipqozn

I certainly understand your frustration, I just don't think you should take it out on the little guy.

I have no idea which book I'm going to read first.

I was planning Daughter of the Empire, but I've been getting the itch to do Mistborn instead.

Frank

@FAE I get that having empathy for people in this situation is good, but I think that's kinda just what the company goes for. That people will just feel sorry for them and buy from them. Which is still a lose-lose situations.

user15026

@Frank Oh, totally is, but when I was going "Oh hey take this or its call the government and try to figure out welfare", I saw the appeal in it. It was someone offering me money, which meant I could keep my house.

Not sure why I have the sudden desire, but I blame @Fluttershy for it.

@Frank Just don't buy from them.

Don't fucking take it out on the person who is just trying to keep a damn roof over their damn head.

Or if they're actually doign something illegal, report them.

@FAE ALL THE MORE REASON

@AshleyNunn Except it does nothing. Absolutely nothing. What they do is legal. Utterly unethical, totally immoral, but legal.

And that's all that matters.

Wipqozn

@Frank So just don't buy from them.

user15026

@Frank Perhaps so, but then don't buy it. Don't use it.

Wipqozn

In the end yellign at the guy going to door to door isn't going to hurt the company at all. They don't care. What will really hurt them is refusing to buy from them.

Frank

11:16 PM

@Wipqozn And at the same time, put these people out of a job. Which is still a losing proposition.

user15026

@Frank but it is all you can do.

user15026

IT sucks, but that's life.

Frank

It's everything about taking advantage of social situations and basic human decency, and twisting them into profits.

It just makes me rage that people have to be put into those positions.

FAE

@Frank It's... well, life's not fair. :/ And we have to deal with that. And sometimes the only thing we can do is just try not to shit further on the people who have already been shit on.

user15026

@Frank Which makes total sense to me. But directing that anger at the door to door person is so not fair at all

user15026

11:18 PM

Its like...at work, I get yelled at when we can't offer certain things. It's not my fault. I can't even touch it. I am just a CSR.

user15026

And hten I feel like shit because I get threats and anger and all sorts of shit

Wipqozn

Just pretend every person who comes to your door is secretly @AshleyNunn.

user15026

and I have to tell myself "it's just a job, they aren't mad at you, they are mad at the system" and then I breathe, and go on. Because they aren't mad at me. But it still sucks to be the face fo the thing they are mad at.

Peggielene Bartels

Nana Amuah-Afenyi VI (born 1953), known informally as King Peggy, is the nana (chief) of the town of Tantum (or Otuam), in the Mfantsiman Municipal District, Ghana. Born Peggielene Bartels in Ghana and a naturalized citizen of the United States, she has worked as a secretary at the Embassy of Ghana in Washington, D.C. since the 1970s. Following the death of her uncle, Tantum's former chief, in 2008, she was chosen to replace him, through a series of traditional rituals. Since chosen the first female chief of her village, she has spent several weeks each year in Ghana, on the anniversary of her...

Actually, I just realized the perosn I posted completed proved my point wrong.

She was Empress, but thought it wasn't as strong of a position of Emperor so named herself Emperor, because fuck you Wu Zetian does what she wants.
