Things to remember in very hot weather

I think there is ample evidence M Anthony is a loser with no desire to

long and sometimes humorous threads. It's especially fun to read his
posts as a way of gaining insight into a mind with some seemingly
interesting deviations from normal.

Yep, I have to agree with you there.

He's a standard deviation or two away from normal for many parameters,
but not the ones he's claim, like wisdom, insight or intelligence.

I think he's pretty intelligent. From what I can see, a lot of the really
inane stuff he posts comes from a strange compulsion to disagree with
almost anything anyone says, no matter how sensible it may be. Wise or
insightful, no way.

I look often for him to open a new topic, but that'll be delayed
because this one still has legs.

Well, I'm pretty much done with my part. I've made all the points I wanted
to make, and unless he surprises me, he'll devolve into repetition now.

He is fun, isn't he?

Sure is. I've known a few like him over the years. They annoy me at first,
then I get to understand how they work and they're just amusing.

I was actually friends with one of them in real life for a while, after
I'd talked to him online for a few years first. We ended up at the same
college and started hanging out. It was interesting because he wasn't
nearly as weird in real life as he was on the internet. He was still a
little kooky, but not any more kooky than many of my other college
friends.

Given MX's extreme anti-social bent I doubt he'd be interesting to meet in
real life, though.

Actually, most of Anthony's posts in this thread have already devolved
into repetition. It's all the same familiar loser tripe he's posted
in other newsgroups: I'm unhappy because I'm poor, money is the source
of happiness, I don't want to leave Paris to improve my financial lot
elsewhere even though I can't do it here, blah blah blah. He's repeated
it over and over, and has been particularly notorious for it in, say,
rec.travel.europe (yes, Anthony attempts to participate in a newsgroup
about travel, but of course he hates to travel), but his style has
pretty much gotten the same reception in many of the other fora in which
he participates. The boy's denial mechanisms are tightly coiled and
eternally ready to engage.

And the responses, particularly from well-meaning types who try to offer
constructive criticism and advice, are also well-known and have been
seen elsewhere, so much so that it's almost like, well, maybe Anthony's
just trolling. But Anthony couldn't possibly be trolling, right? Just
because he will continue to participate in threads like this one, while
simultaneously claiming that he comes here to discuss aviation: not
trolling at all, right? But that's another unsurprising thing about
Anthony: he's a habitual liar, and he does that repetitiously - and,
let's face it, manipulatively - too.

Oh, and he's doing this for years and years. He never ever gets tired
of it. Given how few the boy's choices of pleasurable activities are,
this, too, should be unsurprising.

If that's true, why do you not have a well paying job?

Getting interviews is difficult.

Michael Ash writes:

My whole point is that all else *won't* be equal.

It has been sufficiently so in this case.

That's why you need to be good at a niche where there won't be plenty of
locals. If you aren't good at such a niche, become good.

Which niche, and how? There are many. It is necessary to find a niche that
justifies the investment of becoming "good."

Obvious and therefore pointless to state.

No more so than "there are plenty of other cities that aren't dumps."

Being happy is important. Living in a place you like isn't making you
happy. Time to try something else.

Living in a place that is worse will not make me happier.

And yet by your own admission you are not happy there, so what purpose
does it really serve?

It does not make me unhappy to live where I live, so why move?

You're less unhappy than you would be if you were an unsuccessful
beggar living in some other city?

Yes.

No worse than Paris.

Considerably worse than Paris, if you look at the numbers. Both too hot in
summer and too cold in winter.

It's been years, nothing has changed. Nothing is *going* to change unless
you change that.

Moving won't change it.

If your happiness depends on money then presumably you have had at
least 2 years to do some serious soul searching on why you dont have
money?
What skills do you lack to find a well paying job? You obviously dont
lack confidence in your intellectual abilities. Are you doing
anything to redress any deficiencies? or are you just going to
continue to deny you have them?

Anthony is a expert at everthing except improving his own condition.
That persuit would require actual results, his public speaking career
is pretty fool proof.




Wow, nuther great PKB post there Maxie!

They don't, the integrator does.

It's not worth much to just write code and never compile or test it.

That's because you are an idiot.

That's because I have a legal license for everything I use, and because most
freeware is worth no more than you pay for it (otherwise nobody would be
buying the payware).

So you don't have Firefox, Adobe Reader, Flash Player, or anything else?

I have them, but those are only three downloads, not "piles" of downloads.

I would call a half million dollar contract a serious contract.

One person paid half a million dollars for writing uncompiled, untested code
with freeware at home?

SOMEONE has to compile and test the code, but it doesn't necessarily
have to be the person that wrote the code.

If it's not, the person who writes the code is worth a lot less.

I can see why you are not in IT and that you know about as much about
IT in the real world as you know about flying in the real world.

I know a lot about IT, so I'm much harder to lead astray than I might be in
aviation, and even in aviation I can detect who is blowing smoke most of the
time.

OP: You can get work as a coder you do at home.

YOU: I probably don't have the infrastructure.

ME: I've paid such coders nearly $100,000 in the last year who's
infrastructure consists of a PC and an Internet connection, so
infrastructure isn't a big deal.

How many coders, how much work did they do, and what were they paid
individually? What workflow? How many bugs did you detect and have to send
pack after your remote compilation and integration?

The bottom line is that there are people in the world doing coding at
home where the infrastructure expense on top of the PC and Internet
connection is zero and who are making a LOT of money.

How much money is a lot of money?

The biggest problem I had with these people was that they are so busy
with other work we had to juggle schedules to get things done.

If they make a lot of money doing this work, why do they have so much of it?

If you weren't such a whining, incompetent loser, and actually had
any IT talent, you could have been one of them and made a big chunk
of the $100,000 for a few months work.

A big chunk of $100,000 is not a lot of money.

Utter bull****. With a PC and an internet connection you have the means to
obtain everything you need to work a lot of well-paid jobs.

Then why isn't everyone with a PC and Internet connection rich?

Why not? In your universe insisting somethign over and over again in the
face of overhelming evidence to the contrary seems to conceal, to your
mind, in any case, te fact that you are consistently wrong.
