[2016-11-10. : 1:12 am]  Moose -- You have a good two months to build your fallout shelter before the inauguration. Better get to work![2016-11-10. : 12:34 am]  jjf28 -- tru, but there's a name for the fallacy committed when you use a word with two meanings[2016-11-10. : 12:33 am] jjf28 -- Mini Moose 2707Mini Moose 2707 shouted: employ, 1. to use (something) for a particular purpose or to do something, 2. use or direct (something, such as your time or effort) in order to achieve a particular goal, 3. to use or get the services of (someone) to do a particular job not the same usage u scrub[2016-11-10. : 12:32 am] Roy -- Maybe it's just a semantic difference between "job" and "work". You can certainly put animals to work, though to say something is their job would be a bit antiquated, though humanizing. Like a shepherding dog would have a job of herding sheep.[2016-11-10. : 12:28 am] Roy -- Same with contractors. We could get a contractor and not assign him any work. Honestly it'd probably be for the best, because most of them just check in garbage code that we have to go back and fix anyway.[2016-11-10. : 12:28 am]  Lanthanide -- if you have no tasks to do, then you stop employing them; but if you lease a truck, you still have to pay for it, even if it stis idle for 23 hours[2016-11-10. : 12:28 am] Moose -- employ, 1. to use (something) for a particular purpose or to do something, 2. use or direct (something, such as your time or effort) in order to achieve a particular goal, 3. to use or get the services of (someone) to do a particular job[2016-11-10. : 12:28 am] Lanthanide -- when you employ someone, you only get a limited amount of their time, and you have expectations of them performing tasks during that time period[2016-11-10. : 12:27 am] Lanthanide -- are you saying that when someone leases a truck, they're employing the truck?[2016-11-10. : 12:26 am] Lanthanide -- so when a task that a human does is roboticised, it often appears very different, so you can't really say a robot is doing the human's job[2016-11-10. : 12:26 am] Roy -- Well, there are two problems there. 1) Leasing robots would be equivocal to contracting workers, and contracting is a job. 2) Robot rights, bruh.[2016-11-10. : 12:26 am] Lanthanide -- the task is also often carried out 24/7, or for specific production runs, whereas humans tend to work 8 hour shifts[2016-11-10. : 12:25 am] Lanthanide -- well in many cases, when robots replace humans, the task is performed in a very different way[2016-11-10. : 12:22 am] Lanthanide -- you better watch your back, Roy, I'll get a grand prosecutor on you[2016-11-10. : 12:21 am] Roy -- I could get extremely pedantic on the usage of the word, but I'm not really into it right now, so I'll just concede like Hillary did last night.[2016-11-10. : 12:19 am] Lanthanide -- RoyRoy shouted: Lanthanide Lanthanide I don't know why he would do that when China and Mexico aren't taking our labor; machines are. I guess I'm saying he can do those things, but they're just a distraction from the actual work-related crisis of the next decade. LanthanideLanthanide shouted: his big problem, is that the manufacturing jobs he's talking about, simply don't exist any more [2016-11-10. : 12:18 am] Dem0n -- tbh, just bop all the blue collar dumbasses who votes for him and let machines take their jobs. ez[2016-11-10. : 12:18 am] Roy -- LanthanideLanthanide shouted: so, if Trump actually does manage to deport 11 million people, lets say he does it over a course of 2 years LanthanideLanthanide shouted: like putting a 45% tarrif on trade with China will be the single biggest decrease in US spending power and hence prosperity in history I don't know why he would do that when China and Mexico aren't taking our labor; machines are. I guess I'm saying he can do those things, but they're just a distraction from the actual work-related crisis of the next decade.[2016-11-10. : 12:17 am] Moose -- Dem0nDem0n shouted: A bunch of 12 year olds thinking their hot shit. Yeah they're gonna be real mature. Dem0nDem0n shouted: Stop being an idiot. Dem0nDem0n shouted: Dem0n they're* SMH Dem0n is a MESS.[2016-11-10. : 12:16 am] Dem0n -- Dem0nDem0n shouted: A bunch of 12 year olds thinking their hot shit. Yeah they're gonna be real mature. they're* SMH[2016-11-10. : 12:16 am] Dem0n -- A bunch of 12 year olds thinking their hot shit. Yeah they're gonna be real mature.[2016-11-10. : 12:16 am] Dem0n -- KrayZeeKrayZee shouted: I'm playing on my Xbox One and listening to other players talk about Trump... I am appalled. It's fucking Xbox Live. Literally what else do you expect?[2016-11-10. : 12:03 am] jjf28 -- what ever happened to the conservative party moving in the right direction conservatively?[2016-11-09. : 11:47 pm] Moose -- LanthanideLanthanide shouted: http://www.itep.org/immigration/ No, no, not contributions. Costs.[2016-11-09. : 11:35 pm] Lanthanide -- https://twitter.com/cartoonmovement/status/796267014599962624/photo/1[2016-11-09. : 11:30 pm] Lanthanide -- like putting a 45% tarrif on trade with China will be the single biggest decrease in US spending power and hence prosperity in history[2016-11-09. : 11:29 pm] Lanthanide -- actually the main problems with Trump's policies, such as they are, is the speed at which he wants to implement them[2016-11-09. : 11:23 pm] Moose -- Do you have a second source for costs of illegal immigrants to the government? |
