With a sigh he cleans the up the tally for the 7th period. "Can't call it near death anymore"

Oh yes. The company where I work at does these performance reviews: doing 100% gives you a 'C' (as a grade). I do everything that is expected from me without anything to complain about? Yeah, that's not good enough.

Fuck that.

There is the silent complaint that you could do more... Give up your spare time for your work. Work yourself tired and burn out for your company! That's what they want to see.

I'm looking for a new job while I still work there.

Depends on the job, but I think more like 5 figures. Still enough to live comfortably, but of course not enough for these greedy fucks. The reason so many are millionaires is not their salaries.

I don't see how that paper has anything to do with OPs theory.

Okay, I am convinced: from now on I am completely against the marriage of same pole magnets!

Same thinking pattern that prevents the USA from adopting the metric system: I like the old system (because I grew up with it and don't want to learn something new) therefore the new system is bad.

These people should really try to be a bit less egocentric. Is it so hard to recognize that the world doesn't revolve around you?

I can smell this picture.

It's simple: Germany always does what Israel wants.

You know, because of our history.

There are many people (especially the older generation) who think we as Germans can't say anything bad about Israel no matter what they do.

Well, the people who get their way the most are rich people (duh) and old people (because they vote more than young people)

Not really a conspiracy but still concerning.
