    The Little Things

    I agree with the philosophy that it's easier to replace the little things, and wait for a good deal when the big things catch your eye. I've regretted a couple missed opportunities for things like a 1936 Stromberg-Carlson desk phone with crank, WORKING, for only $50 (I was a fool). But I've also...

    Passive Resistance?

    Perhaps this is why we seem to be in such a decline? A tailspin from which we can't recover. It's bitter irony that JP Morgan considered character to be criteria for loans.

    The Dark Knight Rises (Batman in Pittsburgh)

    This movie was "Eh," for me. I grew up with the Burton films and loved them. The first two Nolan films were nearly flawless, albeit lacking something. The third film kinda reiterated that feeling for me. I don't know WHAT was missing, but I feel like it was something of substance. It felt...

    Boy, this conversation is getting interesting! What was the OP? Who cares...someone explain the offending cloth in DETAIL!

    This is true to a point - no single cog in the machinery can control the overall outcome. Corporate work is designed that way specifically - for good reasons, and otherwise. Say you're talking about a health insurance claim - 1. Doctor renders service 2. Nurse interprets and files notes 3...

    Passive Resistance?

    Isn't that the truth? The minute everyone stops making needless purchases is the minute the short-fuse timebomb starts ticking. Perhaps Kruschev was right? "What the bourgeoisie therefore produces, above all, are its own grave-diggers. Its fall and the victory of the proletariat are equally...

    Why Don Draper IS Lounge

    I'd say Early Cuyler is "Lounge", honestly. And one should aspire to any character in Squidbillies. But then I guess I don't watch television enough to know any better. ;)

    Passive Resistance?

    I hear alot of people on this board, an in other public forums, talk big about how they would stand up to this organization, or defend this group of people, or resist this corporate such and such, yet here we are in 2012 and it's happening all around us everday - and often due to our own...

    Ok, so Bianca works in mortgage lending. She KNOWS the Williams family can't afford the mortgage they've applied for, but protocol (her photocopied checklist that she plugs a few numbers into) says it's alright to lend to them. In fact, her boss and his boss encourage her to approve an Arm loan...

    The new healthcare legislation means there are going to be more people covered under health insurance, which in turn means more bean counters, red tape and busy work. So Bill breaks his leg walking the dog one night, goes to the hospital, his insurance processes the claim and they deny it...

    Myths of the Golden Era -- Exploded!

    And due to the talent and tenacity of many drummers mentioned here, as well as so many others, we have guys like Danny Carey who bear the torch for my generation. I couldn't find a fitting youtube video for him, or George Kolias...or Thomas Haake... ...but rest assured, they are all amazing...

    Passive Resistance?

    Just to clarify; my question wasn't regarding my own career, although my job is an inspiring example of bureaucracy. I've been dwelling on the last few years as employers lay off increasingly more employees while maintaining - no, increasing - productivity. Mix that with some of the...

    So you've finally realized your job is meaningless, unrewarding and even a little silly. You come home every night exhausted for having done very little physical work, but from being run dry by demands and protocols. ...It's not that you want to stick your finger in "the Man's" eye, it's that...
