mrstickball, why can't you just see that corporations have programmed us to never want to stop shoveling food into our faces? Are you a corporation or something?

on 20 March 2012 | 4 comments

LOL.

Corps share some of the blame (as I said) in my last post, since they have artificially low prices on some goods like meat and dairy.

I just always find it funny that the blame always lies with someone else. I can talk to a 400lb person until I'm blue in the face about eating 4,000 calories of Totinos Pizza Rolls, but they will always make an excuse about it being someone else's fault.

on 20 March 2012

You have to take into account the fact that it is cheaper to buy a freezer full of Totinos Pizza Rolls than it is to buy one single shriveled carrot, because McDonald's.

on 20 March 2012

LOL.

Like I said in the post:

Cabbage - $0.29/lb
Carrots - $0.49/lb (for regular, non-baby carrots)
Tomatoes - $1.49/lb

And so on. Sadly, the whole 'McDonalds' crowd is so dumb, they've never actually priced healthy food vs. unhealthy food. Do you know how much a bag of Lays potato chips costs? $5/lb. Do you know how much 50lbs of potatoes cost? $15 where I live.

That's what really kills me. It's such a stubborn and pervasive bit of misinformation. I can only assume that people hear it and think it sounds really smart so they just regurgitate it right back, but shit, don't people go shopping? Aren't they bound to notice that everything they're saying is patently false?

"I'm not saying that carrots are rare or expensive, but they're rare and expensive! But that's not what I'm saying at all!"

you are online,i was watching some of super tuesday late last night from over here and found myself asking a silly question,who is voting for what last night,is it the members of the public and do you have to be a member of the republican party,how does it work

Ha ha, no problems on answering:

"Super Tuesday" is the day that a lot of states get to vote for the Republican (or Democrat) nominee for president. Generally, the results go a long ways to deciding who gets elected.

As to who can vote, that really varies from state to state. Some states have "Closed Primaries" which require you to be a Republican or Democrat to vote for their nominee. Other states have an "Open Primary" which allows you to declare at the polling station as to which party you want to vote for.

Still then, some other states have "Caucuses" which are like town hall meetings that people discuss the candidates, then vote en-mass after the discussion, but that is the least popular type of vote.

on 08 March 2012

right,i see,so in theory in some places,democrat voters can vote on republican candidates and vice versa,is that right

on 08 March 2012

Correct.

It is funny you posted this because I have had google and this thread up for an hour looking at it. Just finally decided to be dumb and ask a question.

and your numbers site have had no updates almost. Did your wife have the baby? That was you right?

I have two degrees and they are worthless, but I would be willing if a job was offering just for any degree. Those offers do not pop up too often.

Top selling WW games?

Yes, she delivered last night. Work has been so crazy, because we're working on a new database to help our clients out, as well as some technology that will take a bit of work burden away from me. When that is done, I imagine I will get a lot more time to post data.

As for top selling WiiWare games, its been pretty abysmal lately. I want to say 3D Pixel Racing is the only game that has sold over 10,000 copies in the past few months (of new titles, mind you). WiiWare just had its worst-performing month of the year in October, as the service is winding down.

I'll try to post an update with some 3DS numbers in the near future since we've been tracking them for awhile now.

What kind of degrees do you have? What kind of skills do you have? If anything comes about, I will try to keep an eye out for anything.

on 25 November 2011

I have a Bachelors in Environmental Management (working on Masters as we type), and I have an Associates in Business Science (Also working in Bachelors as we type, just a little closer to this one though). Experience is minimal, which is the problem. I worked in the U.S Army, and as a Vehicle Registration clerk for the Army DMV. For about two months I worked for the Post Office.
Degree's are great, but mean nothing without experience. I cannot even seem to find people who would take me as an intern or volunteer work to get some experience.
So that is one reason why I have no job. I can only assume that older more experienced workers are still taking lower paying jobs.

on 28 November 2011

Sorry to hear that. If I come across any jobs that can use your skill set, I will let you know. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

on 28 November 2011

If your looked for a job that requires "Any college degree" substitute teacher might be a good way to go. Especially if you live in Ohio. They are hard up for subs like crazy.

on 11 December 2011

I mean I hear it pays ok, and could be argued it's work managing unruly people in tough situations. (Coming in on the fly for a day or a few days, or a week where others have much longer to prepare.)
