One of the comments that cracked me up was "I've seen roulette wheels yield more consistency than this team."
Louisiana needs to shit or get off the pot
Hah
Congrats!
And dude it won't work to try to go blackout. You live in Ohio. It'll be spoiled.
Speaking of new jobs. Dante Stallworth has a promising new career at Huffington Post as

keep collecting those welfare checks, eznark!
"working as an executive is no harder today than 50 years ago"
I laughed heartily at that one too. Minimum wage threads are consistently my favorite.

Are you laughing at the posts he quoted or his idea that we should have compassion for our fellow man? I am honestly not sure.
Steelers to style all over the Browns in bg's honor.
It's going to happen whether you jinx it or not, bro.
He edited the second paragraph in. I'm laughing at this first part.
But also about empathy. Empathy is for suckers.
clearly I dont make enough money lol. Some people have had to quit my job because they were getting heart attacks and migraines.

You really do need to ask for a raise. Your job sounds crazy stressful.
plus we have to often work additional days to make up for losing dispatchers all the time.
A 9 day 108 hour shift is fairly common lately.

Combine the fact that Week 1 games have statistically more upsets than any other week in the NFL, and the post-super bowl decline thing and I think GB actually has a shot at that game.
Here here.
Also, what is so hard about the fundamental concept that people get paid based on the value of their work? It has nothing to do with people being held back or compassion really. It has to do with the value of the labor.

Wonder how our interior DL will do. We need them and the back-up DEs to do a lot better to relieve some pressure of Chandler and Nink.

McDonalds and other fast food companies are making billions off of their labor, so it does seem to have some value. I would like to see wealth distributed more equably but I know that will never ever happen.

Uh, most of the executives I've worked for or worked around pretty much don't sleep. They also somehow seem to keep tabs on all the small details in everyone's job function. These people are literally superhuman and have skills and abilities that far exceed most peoples.
You definitely need to be asking for a wage bump cajun.
knife? what knife?

I worked my ass off in college. I think I've earned the right to post on Gaf during work in between coding sessions.

I think we've established that cajun needs to find his balls and ask for a raise.
Based on everything you've told us, you have experience and skills that are uncommon for your company and they would have a hard time replacing you. That means ask for a raise!

This, plus student loans (at least in my case).

Didnt we have a season kickoff thread in the OT last year? Are we not doing that this year because bucket is such a drama queen?
I laugh at people under poverty lines too. It's pretty awesome completely ignoring the actual facts of things because I'm comfortable where I'm at. So what if other people have a terrible quality of life, that's not my problem!
Why did you draft both of those QBs in the first place? Rodgers is obviously way better, even fantasy wise, but he's playing Seattle so yeah I dunno man.
When did I say I laugh at them. Like most people, I prefer to simply not think of them.
Ew.
I hate the blocky outer shell.

I think it looks nice

I'm more concerned with what "skilled" office worker, whatever that might be, makes $15 an hour in that discussion. I admit I have no idea about pay scales in the US but to be upset about a McD single mom wanting more (15 ain't gonna happen but come on, minimum wage works) b/c oneself doesn't seem to make much makes little sense to me. Looks to me like both sides need to earn more.

You don't calculate labor just by profits. You calculate it by how valuable the labor itself is. But that's not really what I was getting at because I do think the minimum wage should be raised some as well. The point is that of course people in other slightly higher paying jobs are going to complain about unskilled labor getting paid more, because paying them more devalues the more skilled labor. They SHOULD complain.

Ok wtf is this #gamergate thing?
Brady, should get some decent work done against that Dolphins secondary, sadly.
nerd on nerd internet bullying that no one with a life needs to care about
Seattle recently raised their minimum wage to $15 per hour.
There was a bill in LA to raise minimum wage to $13.25, as well. I would think the people who make that now would have to get a raise of at least 25% to make up for it. I highly doubt that would be possible, but it's fun to speculate.

Thankfully I only ended up with $5500 in student loans. Down to $5000 already! Once I get a better paying job I'm gonna knock it out quick.
Amen to this. The "gamer" community can be such a joke sometimes. Stop treating each other like shit and stop making a big deal about who fucks who. Maybe try and get laid instead of complaining about it online.

15 dollars an hour is $28,800 per year BEFORE taxes if a person works 40 hours a week the entire year (which no one in that type of business would even do but that's besides the point). No one should be complaining about people making that kind of money. It's absurd.
Anyone that's raising a family will have a hard time doing it on even that kind of wage.

That seems nuts to me. If someone makes more then me more power to them. My only concern is that I make what I feel is a fair amount for what I do. If unskilled labor paid more then what my job didnt I wouldnt say they should get less, I would ask that I get more.
