Stuff you don't get.

[Rman]

I don't get why people request to have paper receipts printed when taking out cash from the ATM only to throw it away seconds later?  Especially in the era of ubiquitous online banking.  smh old people.

has to be some superstitious paranoid shit

[Robo]

I dunno, it's nice to get immediately feedback on what you've got left after your withdrawal is accounted for.  My bank's ATMs don't even have the option, though --you get one, like it or not.

[Robo]

I'm guessing the reason they don't do that is because anyone standing behind you could then effortlessly see how much cash you've got.

[Fresh Prince]

Or how little 

[Rman]

It's crazy how some people just crumple up the receipts and toss them on the bank floor, with all the sensitive info intact.  I know the receipts don't show the entire account number, but it's still kinda weird.

[Green Shinobi]

You know how most receipts display the whole account # as ***s except for the last four numbers? Well, when I was in China, I came across an ATM that showed the first 12 and only starred out the last four. So if you kept that receipt and one from another ATM, and someone found your wallet, they'd be able to figure out your whole account number.

People who use obnoxiously loud ringtones in class, library, work, etc, only to quickly answer the call after they've interrupted everyone with a blast of noise. Put your phones on vibrate, no one wants to hear "i was gettin some head get gettin some head" from your phone.

By mild do you just mean for "spicy" food?  I hate that too and I don't even really like spicy food.

What I really don't get are people who assume that a really black and white test they saw on TV proves that a food previously considered healthy by the FDA is totally going to kill you at any second.  It's especially annoying that the most "health-oriented" people fuck around the most this way.

I also hate those parents who substitute beating for spanking and see nothing wrong with it.  Just screaming at their child in public.

uh, im pretty sure that nobody likes idiots in the possession of a gun, many gun owners are just normal people, its a hobby

With that said, there's no reason for anyone to own a fucking AK.

I love all guns (constant watch those shows on the Military channel) and their mechanics and the testosterone but I hate handgun and automatic gun ownership.

[etiolate]

Yeah, that. I think it's because people who eat bland food make a lot of fuss, but to just keep feeding bland food to people is creating the taste rather than adjusting to a different taste.

[etiolate]

I don't dig guns either. I don't want any in my house. They are objects designed to kill, and beyond that, they are 'point and click' killers, and BEYOND that, you have no control over that bullet once it lets loose. Maybe it hits your target, but maybe it goes on and ricochets and hits something unintended. So, not only are they killing devices, they are killing devices which are subject to unintended consequence and further dumb down the art of violence.

[etiolate]

I didn't want to use "art" but I couldn't think of a better word. I guess the sport of violence works. Either way, something mentally different between bomb killing and gun killing and knife killing.

[brawndolicious]

"tool" of violence works best I think.  I don't buy that a private gun owner is doing anything substantial for self-defense when they buy a handgun.

[brawndolicious]

Why not?  Handguns can hurt people just as well as a rifle, especially at a distance of 15 ft.  Plus they are easier to store. 

I don't trust private citizens with concealable guns.

[drew]

wow, dumb opinions are duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuumb

people cant seem to wrap their heads around the fact that people sometimes buy guns without the intention of killing someone, and etoilet obviously has never heard of those bullets that were designed for urban warfare that turn to dust upon impact with anything thats not soft tissue

most of these opinions boil down to a distrust of other people and that when they imagine themselves with a firearm in their hand they think they wouldnt be competent with it, therefore everyone else shouldnt own a gun

I'm not very opinionated.  I just looked at the Uniform Crime Reports and see that obviously there's many times more gun murders than there are justifiable gun homicides (even combining both police and civilian incidents) and put two and two together.

I can't justify getting around the idea that we should give criminals a chance to get a concealed gun because a handgun is more useful than a shotgun in extremely close range in the very rare chance that you need a gun to defend yourself.  I don't have a problem with long guns btw and I just dislike handguns being something we can buy.

[drew]

of course there are more murders than justified shootings, criminals shoot to kill and a responsible regular gun owner uses even non kill shots as an absolute last resort, and obviously criminals go out of their way to kill people, legal concealed carriers dont

concealed carry is great for the remote chance a person might find themselves in the presence of a random public shooting spree, which seems to be happening more and more, id rather take the good with the bad and have me or someone else armed in case god forbid that ever happens to me, not that im saying im looking to get a concealed carry permit anytime soon, i just want to go to the range

[Green Shinobi]

Are there really that many public shooting sprees?

[brawndolicious]

there is a very negligible chance you'd get into a shooting spree dude.

This page is pretty clear how much relative damage handguns cause.

http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/cius2008/offenses/expanded_information/data/shrtable_11.html

They actually may be more useful for self-defense:

I'd guess that if a vigilante walks around with a gun during a shooting spree, people will assume he's the one killing people.

Why people who take majors like Political and Sociology just expect a $60,000 a year job just waiting for them when they graduate.

[Green Shinobi]

We get it; you're a math/science/engineering elitist. 

But to answer your question, I don't think anyone expects a $60,000 a year job upon graduating at this point. But I think that some people feel this way because they know that there are plenty of office jobs out there that pay $60k that they could do in their sleep.

[brawndolicious]

know that there are plenty of office jobs out there that pay $60k that they could do in their sleep.

I think his point is that that is a stupid misconception.

[Green Shinobi]

know that there are plenty of office jobs out there that pay $60k that they could do in their sleep.

I think his point is that that is a stupid misconception.

Not really.

There are lots of decent-paying office jobs that could be done by just about anyone smart enough to graduate from a halfway decent college. The issue is that you can't get these jobs without a few years of experience in a lower-paying version of the job.

One of my best friends got a job two years ago paying $57k. From what I've heard (which is quite a bit), I doubt I or a lot of people I know would have too much trouble stepping into that position if the opportunity arose.

[brawndolicious]

So they're just short-sighted.  You can't justify spending thousands of dollars on your education when it isn't directly relevant to your field.  Nobody will pay you an extra few dollars an hour if you know all about film or philosophy or whatever.  You can research those on your own time but expecting a job because of those majors is ridiculous.

Yes some people may think a diploma from a certain school with your name on it is worth $60k a year but they obviously didn't think it through.  I don't think T Exp dislikes those students for taking "easy" majors so much as for expecting a decent job that is completely unrelated to their education.

[Green Shinobi]

You still went to college and graduated. You presumably took loads of courses outside the major and developed skills in lots of areas. And really, what specialized degree is going to prepare someone to be a "mid-level brand manager" or a "sales consultant"?

Edit: I totally agree that no one should really expect a $60k job right out of college. But $35-40k shouldn't have to be such a long shot, particularly in a coastal area. There's no reason for anyone who got a university degree to be making $10/hr.

[brawndolicious]

Business Administration would be exactly for that.  Employers don't care if you took a couple easy electives, they will care if you have a lot of technical knowledge and skills directly relevant to your field.  The problem is a lot of people think taking "fun/fulfilling" classes in something subjective so that you can get into some office job with vague qualification is a real career plan.  It's their inability to rationally connect going to a university with going into the workforce.  Maybe it's because they're short-sighted or maybe it's because they're just afraid.

The thing is that if you're going to a university, you should be expecting a job that can pay off your tuition.
