What a piece of work is man! How noble in reason! how infinite in faculties! in form and moving, how express and admirable! in action how like an angel! in apprehension, how like a god! the beauty of the world! the paragon of animals!
~Hamlet (II, ii)
EDIT: I just realized how this may appear sexist, but I read man as “humankind”.
Next time you need to have some humility instilled in you simply watch this video of THIRTEEN year old Itzhak Perlman play a difficult Mendelssohn concert.
His fingers move so effortlessly… that is true virtuosity.
Why didn’t I take the job at GS or LB?
BECAUSE I AM AN IDEALISTIC IDIOT THAT WILL BE PAYING THE PRICE FOR MY STUPIDITY FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.
Kids, when your family, friends, & teachers tell you to do what you want, tell them to f*ck off. When you’re getting the 1 million dollar bonus and banging a different girl every night of the week (maybe even different ones on the same night) and have more disposable income in a year then most people see in a lifetime and can hide it offshore bank accounts… that’s when you’ll be laughing.
The hardest hit will be the salespeople dealing with mortgage-backed securities, according to Options Group director Eric Moskowitz. Their average bonus will be about $1 million compared with $2 million last year
Awwh, shucks only a million dollars this year…
Strength thought unity! Unity through faith! England prevails!
I would like to point out that all the Scandinavian countries have higher happiness indexes than North America. Booming tech and commodities sector and are properly investing to grow their countries value. Taxes are high but I would argue that they have no really poor people.
Their metro used to be run on the honor system.
(I’m no longer sure if it is)
Most white people don’t want to work low-end jobs and would rather have immigrants do those jobs for them.
Most white people don’t want to work any non-financial technical jobs either.
Why does a country allow lax immigration in the first place? If they didn’t can you imagine how expensive a plastic tub of strawberries would be?
~ 1 cup of blueberries is like $5 or $6 USD with Mexicans picking it on the cheap. Can you imagine what would happen if a white person (who wants $1000 / week) were to be picking blueberries? You’d have a huge inflationary shock to the system.
Microsoft is importing Indians and Asians like crazy, because there are not enough qualified people being produced by American schools.
23/25 CS graduates could not properly use pointers. A female senior in my operating systems class once asked me for help.
Her: I did almost everything like he said. I pretty much copied and pasted the example algorithm, but it’s not working. It keeps crashing at this point where it tries to read the information into the input buffer.
Me: Hmm, let me take a look. Let me take a look. Did you call malloc to allocate memory?
Her: What do you mean allocate memory?
Me (inside my head): Are fucking kidding me? You’re a bloody senior with a 3.8 GPA and you don’t know you have to allocate memory to use it?
Me: For this class we’re working in C. In C++ the string and vector classes automatically handled the memory management for you. Since you need to store stuff in a buffer you need to call a memory allocation routing to reserve space to put the relevant information. That variable with a star next to it is a pointer. In other words it is an integer that points to the physical memory address
in the computer, where the information is stored. The pointer itself is a WORD, or a 32 bit integer on this specific platform.
Her: Why can’t I just use the variable?
Me (inside): There is no hope.
Me: It’s like reserving a locker in a private gym. You can’t just go and put stuff anywhere you want. You might put your stuff in someone else’s locker and then it will get stolen, moved, or damaged when they try to put their stuff in there. The operating system is like a security guard at the gym who will stop you and kick you out if you’re not using your reserved locker.
Her: How come, I can’t just use the = sign to assign values to the pointer.
Me (inside): Wow. She has no internal concept of how a computer works. Somehow she has managed to make it this far by being nothing better than a monkey.
Me: That would be like trying to store your stuff in the piece of paper that tells you your locker nnumber.
You can be an alpha male & war hero, but your mother… she’s still your mother. McCain’s mother is still incredibly feisty at the age of 95 and is campaiging with her son.
Sen. McCain, who was seated next to her, raised his eyebrows and flashed a polite grin during her comments.
“The views of my mother are not necessarily the views of mine,” McCain chimed in.
“Well, that’s my view. You asked me,” Mrs. McCain followed.
After a commercial break, Sen. McCain further tried to distance himself from his mother’s comments.

Like Mr. T says, treat your mother right!
There are no more barriers to cross. All I have in common with the uncontrollable and the insane, the vicious and the evil, all the mayhem I have caused and my utter indifference toward it I have now surpassed. My pain is constant and sharp and I do not hope for a better world for anyone, in fact I want my pain to be inflicted on others. I want no one to escape, but even after admitting this there is no catharsis, my punishment continues to elude me and I gain no deeper knowledge of myself; no new knowledge can be extracted from my telling.
This confession has meant nothing.
This has to be the nuttiest campaign video I have ever seen.
If you don’t donate $100 dollars to Ron Paul then you are a communist!
Classic.
So how does a anti-gay religious congregation piss off conservatives? To any red-blooded SUV driving, ass-kicking, and environment raping American that seems impossible.
Oh wait…
You get your church to actively start protesting at funerals. Military funerals, no less! Obviously, God is killing American solidiers, because he hates fags and Americans let them have rights.
