Holes sounds like a paradise compared to this place, really. No feces in the living quarters, everyone had a bed, and the only people who were really physically punished were the staff. I'm trying to think of the worst thing in Holes, and it was probably the implication of being left to die in the sun? Or maybe shot. I think there was a point where one of the staff members started carrying a gun, right?

Yep. That's why I brought up my comment. I thought for years that discussing your salary was a really bad thing, because so many people talk about how you'll get fired for it. Imagine my surprise when I actually read through those NLRB posters in the break room...

This is why everyone needs to talk about their salary. Shatter that idiotic notion about pay rate discussions being bad, because it only benefits the assholes at the top sucking every penny they can.

That would be worse. Anime stylized faces do not work in the 3d space. I'd imagine we'd see a new trend of fancy molded art to match each car's look and ~~personality...~~

Ah, who am I kidding? Some exec will just put fucking smileys on the car.

I just use a value ranking system and rapidly sort variables until I reach the highest possible value.

Women>Men

Pop colors > blending (red is greater than brown, etc.)

Interesting features > bland (So a dude with a scar registers higher than a dude without)

Anomalies > expecteds (a top hat is more interesting than a ball cap)

There's probably some other minor variations that account for my choices. Thinking about it, the preference for women may be due to them having more eye-catching variables than men in most cases, especially with regards to color and accessories.

I'm really curious (as I'm not living there) what the difference is. Is it just their religious tendencies? Or is it their feelings towards the nebulous "other" that defines them?

You have my attention, because I have always thought gelatin and pudding were separate and distinct cups.

Supposedly they used biodegradable paint. On that measure, you can't fault them.

Yeah, one of the big countermeasures being the people who live on board, as in, the crew. I hope they can sleep at night knowing they killed a working class schmuck. Fire, or these more outlandish ideas of explosives and scuba shit, will almost certainly get the crew members if it's enough to actually sink a yacht like this.

I have an aunt with six DUIs. After the second, they all become felonies, which are supposed to be 2 years at least in jail. I don't think she's ever spent more than a day in jail. Intoxication manslaughter may be worse, but the courts treat alcohol related incidents with kid gloves a LOT of the time.

I wish the process would be repeated by the federal government, for every similar drug that could be produced with their patent's expiration.
