AI is scary and sketchy. I want nothing to do with it. It will be the end of society....
[quote]It’s essentially the core antagonistic dynamic between management and labor. Management is trying to get the most production they can while paying the least. And, by my Ken, it’s an unwise strategy. You’ll end up losing your best workers because a good worker knows his value, and if manage...
[quote]That's a hobby. Photography is mine, it ain't work. 5 years after we leave our current jobs, we will all be replaced by someone who can do it as well regardless of what we think. [/quote] I'm self-employed, and I really cannot lose my job unless I hire someone to do my work....
[quote]That’s neat but I think you are missing the point. [/quote] I'm not missing the point at all. China is sketchy. I try not to buy anything made in China, which is difficult. I'm generally successful except for a few food and herb items that only come from China. ...
Dr. Phil and similar shows are just awful. Even though most of the shows are set ups, it really highlights the worst elements of society. Most of the "guests" on those shows are nasty....
[quote] Work is so overrated. [/quote] It depends on what type of work. I practice the piano almost every day for at least an hour, which is work - but I also enjoy it....
[quote]If I can work enough to make a good income, put some money in the bank, take care of all my needs in a manner - I'd rather use that extra time for hobbies like trying to figure out to play golf, reading, fishing, writing, I'm a happier person (I don't work a set work xxx hours a week schedule...
[quote] The better you are at what you do, the lazier it enables you to be - one of the wondrous things about efficiency [/quote] If you are so efficient that you can do more in fewer hours, why would you not fill that time up with more work? ...
I live in the Dallas area and this case has been the talk. ...
[quote]Unless you are growing your own herbs, they likely come from China too. [/quote] I do grow some herbs. I have no issue with Chinese medicinal herbs as long as I can vet them out....
I would not use any medicine that was made in either India or China. I'm in good health and rarely take any medicine. Herbs are the way to go for basic health. 80% is a very scary number....
I started listening to Stone Temple Pilots "Tiny Music" when I was about 12. I listen to it as much as any other album I have (I swiped my first copy from Dad). Second place would be Tchaikovsky: Symphonies Nos 4-6 by the Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra. I also like the Beethoven and Brahm...

[quote]Typically children enjoy these two. Adults enjoy ash wednesday and Ken Burns documentaries. You'll understand if/when you grow up.[/quote] I serious wonder whether you have any friends. I like dressing up for Halloween parties. ...

[quote]Some people just enjoy being miserable. We have a Halloween party every year and its an absolute blast. Like I said in the other thread, life's too short to be miserable.[/quote] Halloween and Mardi Gras parties are my favorite....

[quote] have no problem with adults dressing up if they want to, but the ones that get off on scaring little kids, that's a bit much.[/quote] Dad threw a Halloween party for me when I was a kid. We went out on a "scary hike" but nothing was scary until one of our farm workers jumped out of a tre...
