Gadgetism.org > Replacing Parents With Technology

http://www.trendyblog.com [trendyblog] As someone once said, “Have you ever tried turning off the TV, sitting down with your children, and hitting them?” (Hint: it was an animated character.) Or, for those parents who prefer more traditional and less violent disciplinary measures, there’s always the old standby of actually forcing your child to go outdoors. Nobody (with the exception of some children with rare immune diseases or sensitivity to sunlight from albinoism) has been hurt by running around in the grass for a couple hours and getting dirty. Hell, when I was at the age these things are designed for, I would spend a couple hours outside, either in a running stream behind my house, or later, in an empty lot across the street, splashing or digging or whatever with friends. I credit my metabolism, which keeps me relatively thin during time periods I’ve been too busy to exercise on a schedule, to the early exercise I got.

[pasquinade] Fire at Will: Miss Vera Bradley Bag with her fluorescent orange tank top and bright blue ruffly skirt and her boyfriend Mr Monotone. Clinging like an unlined skirt to a pair of tights, they rode the T in together, having a boring conversation about someone equally as boring as them. He spoke in monotone. They never laughed.

[The Common Jack amongst the Kings & Queens.] something to keep y'all busy ferawhile...: There was only one way to avoid these Beasts of the Wood, one would have to find the tallest tree that is closest and climb it and stay there till daybreak and hope that the Beasts do not suddenly decide to look up in your tree. The lonely traveler looked around and found one that was not as tall as he would want, but noticing the moon disappearing from the sky and the mist forming rapidly, muttering to himself, “Beggars can’t be choosers”¦” he climbed the tree and sat upon the thickest branch he could find.

Random Acts of Discombobulation: Hell’s Bells: The help desk I am forced to cover was flooded with irate calls from the loudest, most profane assholes I have had the displeasure to endure to date. It seems the people who own the web training program I support had done the following: 1) rolled out a new online course that was completely outside of their training system, 2) inadvertently sent an e-mail to EVERYONE in the company ordering them to take said training on pain of unemployment, 3) not including instructions on how to log-in or take the training, 4) not informing anyone that I couldn’t help them because the course belongs to another company, and 5) not telling me either. I spent the next several days having repeat conversations with screaming computer illiterate management morons who couldn’t (or wouldn’t) grasp the fact that I couldn’t help them. I think some of them just called back because mine was the only phone number guaranteed to take them straight to a live person.

In fact, it's pretty much out and out impossible to succeed, particularly if you're working with software which crashes as often as ours does, presenting you with the Red Screen of Death fifty times a day.

Insomniac OD - My dream woman wears a smart suit: Charges will be for buying the doujinshi (including the costs I expend in changing my local money to yen and sending payment to Japan), postage of doujinshi from Japan to Singapore and from Singapore to wherever you are (this depends on the weight of the doujinshi yah), US$2 for commissioning costs for me (it’s peanuts for the fact I need to write to them and exert my sad corpse down to the post office yah yah .friends may be exempted so try impressing me). In this regard, risk of loss lies on purchaser and I will not be responsible if the doujinshi gets confiscated by your customs or sinks to the bottom of the great ocean during delivery.

She publishes an anti-war newsletter that gets wide circulation among the protester groups. Word gets out that she works for Company A and soon Company A notices a dip in sales because customers believe that Company A is anti-war and the customers consider that position unpatriotic. Company A spends thousands of dollars trying to dispel the unpatriotic perception.
