Do you recognize him from the short bus?

Meanwhile, the same company we left is systematically offshoring most of their engineering work to the Jeets, chopping pay and benefits to those that survive, all while reporting billions of dollars in quarterly profits.
I see it everyday where I work. Every opportunity to offshore IT work is taken, even when there will be a considerable downside to the quality of work. It’s an accepted loss of quality because it’ll save $x.
Take the cheapest route and live with the lowest possible quality for the organization. That should be our Mission Statement instead of the bullshite they say before every f’n meeting.

You specifically used "histrionics" which was only to describe the argument made by a poster on here, not the post in OP.
Ok, let's revisit page 1 and see...
BigPerm30's one and only reply in the thread at the point in the thread where you replied to him:
quote:
It was a hyperbole. Clearly they didn’t spend 1000 times more because you wouldn’t be so ignorant if they did.
Your reply:
quote:
"It was hyperbole " - bigperm30
Is this the pivot when people say histrionic falsehoods?
Effectively, this renders everything else he said worthless for the same reasons, as I imagine it's all "hyperbole"
Breaking it down...
- bigperm30 says the X post numbers were hyperbole (incorrectly, as I've shown already since Google suggests 1000x looks conservative) and turns it into a joke by calling you ignorant.
... I don't see anything in bigperm's post that comes close to the level of histrionics. He is no more engaged in histrionics than your first reply in the thread where you say:
quote:
I'd like to see this data b/c G/T is under SPED. This guy clearly wasn't in Gifted.
Your quip that the X poster is not gifted looks very equivalent to perm's quip that you're ignorant, with both being basic shite talk-- not histrionics. If, however, perm is guilty of histrionics, then your post precededing his brought histrionics into the thread before he did, making your accusation of him engaging in it ironic.
Moving on to your reply (part 1):
quote:
Is this the pivot when people say histrionic falsehoods?
The pivot is clearly perm claiming the #s are hyperbole, but the histrionic falsehood must be the claims of the X poster since perm only makes a joke and doesn't perpetuate any potential falsehood.
If there's any doubt, you reply continues (part 2):
quote:
Effectively, this renders everything else he said worthless for the same reasons, as I imagine it's all "hyperbole"
Since Perm says absolutely nothing else in the thread to this point, your comment, "this renders everything else he said worthless for the same reasons", unavoidably points to the rest of what the X poster said... hence you did accuse the X poster of histrionics.
I did not misunderstand anything as written, though I don't rule out you may have been sloppier than you intended. Either way, the error is yours.

One day (hopefully soon), we are going to start trying again. America will wake up. Don’t be on the wrong side when it does.
I hope it's true, but I'm skeptical and doubtful. People have become too passive and sedentary in their comfortable lives. Even people in the ghettos are living it up compared to the slums of third-world countries. Fatass "queens" and trailer park Nancies want to talk about "the struggle" while they remain comfortably unemployed and 150 pounds overweight, having never missed a meal their entire lives.
Our complacency has ruined us. I pray every day that this country will turn back to a higher power and roll their sleeves up to get some shite fixed, but i truly believe it's too late. As long as there's life, there's hope, but there's not much of it left.
