Just WHO are all these people working 60+ hour weeks? What are their occupations?

Investment banker? Take out the 1% chance they might make it all the way to Managing Director/Partner and start raking in 7 figures a year, who'd be willing to work those hours?

Startup founder? Take out the 0.01% chance they might be the next "Draw Something" or Instagram, who'd be willing to work those hours?

People generally don't work harder than their peers purely out of altruism or "passion." Otherwise, socialism wouldn't have failed.

Do you have absolutely no clue about the working world?


My dad works for an oil company and often has to work those kinds of hours. He used to be a truck driver and worked crazy hours like that all the time.

My brother works in construction and does those kinds of hours.


I used to be a door to door salesman and I worked those kinds of hours easily. I'd work noon to 9pm monday to friday, and 9 am to 9pm on saturdays.


My cousin runs a yard that a few of my other cousins are working at where they are paid by how many palettes they build. Takes an hour to make one. Paid $22 per palette, or 30 if they make 10 in one day. They always make 10 in a day because why wouldn't they for such a big boost, they work minimum 4 out of every 8 days, but usually work 6.

So yes, these kinds of hours, 60+ a week, are not uncommon and 40 hours IS the cushy alternative.

I mean I graduated with an accounting degree recently and I'm still figuring out how I want to take my career. If I go a certain path, I'll be working 50-60 hours during busy tax season (though probably only 30-40 in off time like summer), plus lots of out of work studying. Or I could take a more standard book keeping kind of career with just a standard 37-40 hours a week. That would pretty much be a breeze.




It's so sad to see you guys seriously arguing that it's a lot.

Yeah it's not weird at all for 25. There's tons of people in their mid 20ies at University. Around the 30 age mark is a little less common but still not that weird.

I loved command and conquer on the N64. Wasn't hard or unintuitive to control things with a control at all.


Though it was single player which is pretty easy. It's not like you are super under pressure to get as much apm in as you can. I don't think I would want to play a serious match with a controller.

--
The batman villians all seem to be one big joke that batman refuses to laugh at - SantaRPG

I thought it was awesome when I first played it. Then after a few years of playing PC Starcraft I noticed my SC64 cartridge and popped it in. It made my eyes bleed.


It's the same game, just bad.

--
The batman villians all seem to be one big joke that batman refuses to laugh at - SantaRPG

I'm pretty sure Starcraft64 actually locks them, which I played before the PC ones so thats probably why I thought that.



Man SC64 was terrible.

I really don't see what the problem is. $2800 a semester or whatever is not that expensive and it's what everyone else in Canada already pays.

--
The batman villians all seem to be one big joke that batman refuses to laugh at - SantaRPG

Nah, people who are saying a 40 hour work week is unreasonable are lazy. And that's all there is to it.



If you aren't interested in working more hours for money and don't need to, then you are free to work less hours. But the premise of this topic (which many people in this topic agree with) is that 40 hours are completely unacceptable and it's impossible to live a satisfying life working that much. Which is plain wrong. People here just don't realize how easy our lives have gotten.

The batman villians all seem to be one big joke that batman refuses to laugh at - SantaRPG

I don't think you guys even understand the undertaking the RMAH is. Holding kind of money that will be used for the system will require a lot of bookkeeping and legal issues for Blizzard. It's going to be a significant ongoing cost. I see absolutely no reason not to support these costs with a toll.

--
The batman villians all seem to be one big joke that batman refuses to laugh at - SantaRPG

What are you talking about, special professions?

My brother and my dad have always worked so much overtime in their blue collar jobs, I would easily peg them at typically working 60+ work weeks.



Are you just allergic to working or something?

--
The batman villians all seem to be one big joke that batman refuses to laugh at - SantaRPG

I can't imagine this system NOT including those two fees.


A fee for transactions and a fee for actually taking money out of your account? Why WOULDN'T these exist? Why would they do this system for free? That's a lot of money they will be responsible for until the end of Diablo 3, why the hell wouldn't they exact a toll to do it?


Plus an income stream from the game means they will have resources to actually update it like WoW is. Diablo 2 gets updates, but aside from the synergy patch none of it has ever been much of an effort on their part, because it wouldn't earn them anything.

--
The batman villians all seem to be one big joke that batman refuses to laugh at - SantaRPG

D, many people work much longer hours than that.


I honestly think culture today is a little spoiled and don't realize just how cushy the 35-44 hour work weeks are.

Yeah, seems like BS to me. The questions were very creepy though.


You feel trapped by life, which is causing distress and anxiety. You are actively seeking a way out of your troubles, but do not yet have a path that you feel confident will help you. You are open to new experiences and are able to connect emotionally with others, and so if you are able to formulate a plan for your future, the outlook is positive that you will find satisfaction.

A sense of hopelessness is making you unreasonable and disagreeable. Fears of losing status or security are causing anxiety and stress. You have a sense of loss that you do not want to get any worse, and this is expressing itself as a negative attitude and a general unwillingness to relinquish control.


This does kind of apply to me though and I think it's actually good for me to realize just what it means about me. I guess I got lucky with a good one that might actually mean something to me right now!

Yeah, he said the Red God in the books too.

And who cares if the Tickler dies here. It's a way better name than Chiswyck to use and he stood out more during the torturing than Chiswyck did.

Don't really see the problem, 4.7k a year is still less than I pay in tuition, and as someone that only works low wage jobs in the summer and took out student loans to pay my way.... the tuition costs are not that big of a deal. Most of my costs came from supporting myself paying rent, food, car insurance etc.



Big deal Quebec, get over it.


Don't see the tax rate being a big deal either; the sales tax might hurt a bit but you don't even pay income taxes as students and you won't for several years after graduating.

--
The batman villians all seem to be one big joke that batman refuses to laugh at - SantaRPG

Are you sure?


http://quebectuitionfees.ca/howmuch.php

This makes it sound like right now, you guys pay $2800 per year, and it'll go up to $4700 per year by 2016/2017.


So right now that means you are paying $1400 per semester and $2350 in 5 years.

--
The batman villians all seem to be one big joke that batman refuses to laugh at - SantaRPG

And that's per semester or per year?

--
The batman villians all seem to be one big joke that batman refuses to laugh at - SantaRPG

That's how much you pay in Quebec per semester right now? Pre hike? So it will be like, 4k+ a semester after the hike?

My parents got married at 25 (her) and 38 (him). They would eventually divorce but they've remained best friends ever since. They buy and rent out houses together, and when she's in town (Couple of nights a week) she stays here (ie his house).

do they still bang

i bet they still bang

The batman villians all seem to be one big joke that batman refuses to laugh at - SantaRPG

Westbrick, all of what you said about older women is true and is something the TC should keep in mind, but it sounds like the parent situation is about more than just them being worried she's a bad fit. Calling him immature and stuff for ignoring his parents concern is silly.

That sounds cool.


I've been playing Industrial Craft mod lately. It's pretty cool, it adds electricity to the game, so you have machines that you power with generators and connect them with wiring.

I have a nuclear reactor! It generates tons of power. Or it could blow up my town. Yep.

I actually remember hearing that the Face Stealer would be involved in Korra somehow a long time ago from some news release from the creators. So the theory that Amon made a deal with him may actually be true.

The idea of a world with tons of other trainers running around with wild pokemon everywehre is awesome.


I remember playing a pokemon map in Warcraft 3 many years ago where it was like 4-8 players running around catching pokemon and fighting eachother, it was soooo fun. An MMO could be very good if pulled off well.
