We should just syphon all the water out of the ocean, put it in a giant still and use a massive rocket to move it near the sun.

Now we have unlimited steam energy and way more land to build things on. Winning!

I've been watching a few American TV shows and it blows my mind that they put up with such atrocious working terms and conditions.

One show was about a removal company where any damage at all, even not the workers fault, is taken out of their tips. There's no insurance from the multimillion dollar business. As they're not paid a living wage the guy on the show had examples of when he and his family went weeks with barely any income and this was considered normal?!

Another example was a cooking show where the prize was tickets to an NFL game. The lady who won explained that she'd be waiting in the car so her sons could experience their first live game, because she couldn't otherwise afford a ticket to go. They give tickets for football games away for free to people where I live for no reason at all..

Yet another example was where the workers got a $5k tip from their company and the reactions were as if this amount of money was even remotely life changing. It saddens me to think the average Americans life could be made so much better with such a relatively small amount of money and they don't unionize and demand far better. The company in question was on track to make a billion bloody dollars while their workers are on the poverty line and don't even have all their teeth?

It's not actually this bad and the average American lives a pretty good life like we're led to believe, right?

Couldn't be more than $250 depending on the condition.

Sounds like the OPEC method of price fixing to me.

When Microsoft changed Office to the ribbon menu system I had to design and run a whole training program with multiple trainers to travel the country to teach people in our company how to use it. All of the helper tools and documentation were not enough.

People absolutely freak out at change when it comes to computers especially.

I feel like OP has never worked in a corporate IT job before and has zero clue what it actually entails to manage a large fleet of desktop PCs used by the average office worker.

I'm mostly just shocked that they thought it was a good idea for a prank in the first place.

I think we might have solved the story behind the aliens revealed in Mexico today.

I think that if you require that level of privacy then you should consider getting your own place. You can't expect your parents to just let you do and have whatever you want in their home. Some parents can be overbearing but that's the price you pay for their support.

If you're a child then you need to understand that your parents are responsible for you legally and have every right to enter your room and go through your stuff. If that's a problem for you then you should consider not doing stuff they might not approve of.

Also, you're not a mental health professional and you cannot diagnose narcissistic traits. This is just you reaching for an excuse to justify your own lack of respect for the rules in your household.

Because the original person said that Elon is a good guy because he gave them that internet access. Except he yoinks it when their lives depend on it during a live military action to suit their opposition (Russia). That's not a very good guy thing to do.
