Assume Nothing

I wonder if this counts... difficult bowel movements. Too much info?

What were you doing in Amsterdam :o? It's known for a very specific industry.

It needs to be a little more competitive in pricing. Given that demand is pretty elastic, lowering the price may actually be beneficial.

Oh, the irony. On the same vein, I can't seem to put my finger on understanding the term 'postulate' - the dictionary definitions just confuse me. Could you help me with expanding my lexicon, Croce the wordsmith?

It's great until you get bored of it, which is almost inevitable if you ate it frequently. I wouldn't recommend eating that stuff more than twice a week due to the sodium content and such. Do you have a nearby oriental/asian store? They sell the paste in jars, which makes it cheaper and arguably more convenient. On a slightly less related note, you could also consider making ramen with a little bit of that paste in it. If you'd like to spice it up a bit, consider putting bird's eye (thai) chillis and lemon grass. It may be a good idea to put small pieces (1/6) of tomatoes into it too, just to give the soup some extra body.

I do feel that you've got an issue with being too submissive to control. It's quite frequent that you describe submissiveness - and I wonder, why are you not helping yourself out of this situation? In all honesty, I'm inclined to think that in a sense, you deserve some of the things that happen to you. It might just be a good idea to be a little more assertive, as the subjugation you describe is likely to be a result of your stepfordness. You might need to find new social circles if you really want change. On the topic of linguistics - I've been told that I'm racist because I told someone they were a 'brown-noser', and I'm 'ignorant' because I ignored someone.

Today I've received a conditional offer for my top university choice. Woot!

I don't understand the point - is that supposed to be funny?

What I find depressing is the fact that the legitimate uses of the site (which constitutes a significant amount of MegaUpload, etc.) has been compromised. Why can't these actions be more targeted? I don't see how the e-version of carpet-bombing the site is supposedly 'optimal', considering that the purpose of the site extends beyond piracy.

I'm intrigued - do elaborate. Does this racism entail hatred towards all non-indigineous races, or is it the signature 'X-race is stealing our jobs!' crap? On a side note, I've been disputing with people all day - it's a weird feeling.

I don't think I could phrase it any better than quoting you, Will.

The hilarity of that is self-evident, but I digress. Do you know the culprits are gaining access to your desktop?

It's not the client's responsibility to provide a decent wage-rate for the employee. It's a flawed system that exploits consumer generosity, essentially coercing patrons to pay an additional fee not out of choice, for something that isn't their fault. The employees should be paid a sufficient wage rate by the employers to begin with. I fail to see how consumers would be a 'douche' if they don't tip - ultimately, the responsibility lies on the employer. Employers provide a secure job, the employees provide a service, and the patrons provide the cashflow necessary to keep the system operational. Tips should be reserved for good service - not for every meal. I'd agree with social encouragement of tipping, but I'd stop there. It would be absurd to suggest that any other profession should demand mandatory tips, so why should the restaurant industry do so? EDIT - In order to address the catch 22, there could be a slight adjustment in employment law that could alleviate the issue. Similar to an apprenticeship scheme, they could be placed under training scheme for a lower wage rate than the national minimum in order to encourage employers to hire more. Or, alternatively, there could be ways to break the trap, similar to volunteering except payments could be made. I do understand that there may be more implications which may follow the proposal, though.
