The Fabric of Creativity

Someday. Hopefully. I'll make/work at a place like this.

I suppose that if I insulted your supposed intellect, that would hurt you more, since you try that route with me each time you counter back. However, it would appear that you are puffing yourself up to little effect, since it is pretty obvious which one of us would qualify as the "dumb fuck," as you so stunningly put it. Flynn, I have never actually said anything that would lead you to believe that I view myself as more intelligent than anyone, but you often try to come across that way. Your typos are rather frequent, the logic and value in your posts nonexistent, and your value to the memestreams community is questionable at best. Your view of political and social issues is obviously the product of your limited understanding of life itself. Now, you may know something about technology (what that is you never explain, or even give an inkling of in your posts, which leads me to believe that you really know very little about that, even), but your knowlege of just about everything else seems to lack. Granted, memestreams is not the place where most users feel compelled to get into intellectual "dick size" arguments, but your inadequacies come to the forefront in any argument you make.

Let's look at your profile. You are of ... [ Read More (0.4k in body) ]

[ Very cool article about a very cool company. Lots of good products... I remember recieving a set of Elixirs in the mail as a kid, and even then I could tell they sounded better, longer, than normal strings, Gore-Tex is as second nature to a skier as Marker or K2, and my tightly packed teeth require flat floss like Glide.

Given my current employment as a US Gov. contractor, embedded in one of the most strictly hierarchical systems you'll ever find (there are people in the building I'm not permitted to talk to unless my supers say ok), the description of this freedom sounds extremely pleasant. -k]
