I meant the part about peace and prosperity through rock
The overthrow the government part is all me
Gonna rock so hard your face will melt
Gonna rock the fucking president's brains out
Personally, I'm going to be writing my dissertation next year, pretty excited about that. But I thought I'd peek around the internet for postdoctoral fellowships in logic...that was disappointing. So now I'm a little worried about finding a job after I get my doctorate. Not too worried, but a little worried.
From a more grandiose perspective? America's having a recession, but I think that just means that the standard of living in other countries is going to catch up to ours. It doesn't mean that we're going to wake up living in Fallout 4 a few years from now.
I was going to add something about how in Denmark a candy bar costs $2-$3, but I forgot what the point of the example was halfway through writing it.
I can see China doing good things for America. As a country we only really seem to shine when we've got someone to strive against. Otherwise we just go around the beach kicking sand into smaller countries' faces and then acting all wounded when people call us dicks for it.
If China takes off like they seem to be, America might have an economic rival that can spark a new sense of pride and vigor in our society. I have especially high hopes for a resurgent space race, since Russia seems to have crapped out on us as a catalyst.
Or we might do the England thing and retire to our place in the countryside, and then all the really important stuff this century will take place in various parts of Asia. I can see it going either way, easily.
I agree with this. I think the majority of the USA has gotten lazy and lets the government and large companies make the decisions for them, but once we get that competitve spark back in us we'll get off our asses and start inventing and getting better jobs, and fight the fuck out of Outsorceing and finally make some stride.
Then by the time of our Grandchildern we'll be in the shitter again.
So yeah. I keep thinking the company I work for is just not going to be able to pay my salary one day. I'm future proofing myself by learning as much web scripting languages and get experience using them as I can before that happens.
Oooohhhh shiiiiit. That's one of those things you don't want to say otherwise it suddenly becomes reality. Fuuuuck.
This happened yesterday in St. Paul Minnesota in conjunction with the republican convention. I know none of you give two shits about anything but it is pretty fucking interesting if you can take a step back and realize the longer part of the interview is statements given by a lawyer.
Always be pessimistic. That way, if something good happens, you'll be pleasantly surprised. And if the worst happens, well, you saw it coming.
Pessimism is a form of delusion. While it tends to be more compatible with reality than the opposite extreme, it's also more likely to lead to apathy, nihilism, and "emotions hair". I prefer to base my outlook on reality, rather than a pre-ordained response.

I think if everyone lived on their own in the mountains for a few years, then lived in society, they would think everything is perfect. If you're used to the best America has to offer, of course you're going to think were all fucked because the standard you were used to may have dropped a little bit or things aren't as good as they always were in your given spectrum of influence.

Not in Denmark, but in some places. That depends heavily on the presence of local oil fields.

CANKLES FOR WRISTS. Sounds like an emocore band. Now THAT'S rebellion!
I GUESS WE COULD PUT IT TO A POLL OR SOMETHING, BUT I AM SERIOUSLY INCAPABLE OF THINKING OF ANYBODY WITH A WORSE NOM DE PLUME

"emotions hair"?
