Welcome.
If only I was that young, lol. Would be nice to be starting a new job in my mid 30's that I wanted to do instead of because I needed to. Oh well, it'll get me by for now.

A job you don't like is better than no job at all. Better to be tired than hungry.
Years since, my father asked me how work was going, and I told him I was over worked and exhausted all the time. He said, 'You eating every day?' 'Yes, Da.' 'Bills getting paid, are they?' 'Yes, Da.' 'Then shut up and be grateful.'

Are you implying that my father owned slaves?

Is there a real difference between a slave holder and a capitalist?

So many new people over the past few days.
Do we need to cull older members?

Thanks. I chose this name because I've always been fascinated by the idea of us creating true artificial intelligence. I'm a big Blade Runner fan.
I think it could be argued that in a way humans are sort of just organic machines. Organic machines is much nicer than soulless meatbags which some theist likes to call us.
I'll take either.... Labels never bothered me. Just don't call me an Ignoramus! Hehe
