<0> I just odered the best SQL book for intermediate level
<1> No, I mean
<1> I'm not talking about coding
<1> There are good coders who are on drugs
<0> ahhh
<1> Which, doesn't speak well of the difficulty of coding
<0> :(((
<1> But I meant that there's a deeper stupidity
<1> You take to drugs and crap and your life takes on different focuses
<1> They can put eyedrops in your eyes that dilate your pupil
<1> You walk inside, everything's hunky dorey, feels a little weird, but not bad at all
<1> What's the harm?
<1> You walk outside and it's blinding
<1> Don't ever think that drugs don't have the same effect on your brain
<1> And on how you see yourself as a person, and where you decide that you need to go
<1> The dope smoking coder might do great on his projects, but twenty years from now you think he'll have gone far?
<1> The industry tide will go out on him and some day he'll walk out on the deck of his metaphoric boat and see the dock totally unreachable twenty feet above him
<1> And he'll just be a loser
<1> There's no payoff to that ****, just say no.
<0> ok
<2> hm
<0> I want to work in a place where I don't have to put in hours on their time, but my own
<0> like my father
<1> Well
<0> :D
<1> I think everyone starts out doing that sort of thing
<3> start your own company
<0> yepp \
<1> But you can work toward your goals if you have an active, unaltered mind
<1> I work at home.
<1> I meet with my boss maybe once a week
<1> Usually I work when I choose
<3> I work at home when the situation arises.. i prefer to work at work
<1> Yah
<1> And that's without starting my own company
<1> The world has a lot of options that the dope smoking loser never sees, because his mind's dilated.
<1> Think on your feet, trust your imagination, work toward your goals
<1> You'll go as far as you want
<1> Lay back and smoke a joint and chill all the time, and that's all you'll want to do.
<1> It's a strange world.
<0> I am a strange person
<0> I live a simple life fixing mundane problems, and I get paid crap
<0> LOLZ
<0> :D
<0> I am a tech support person
<0> at a community college
<1> nod
<1> Are you in college?
<0> no I want to use the money from work to fund myself
<0> projects, ext
<0> book++
<1> Make sure you're getting good advice from real people about how to succeed at what you want to do
<1> Sometimes we think we have good ideas and they're really dog**** ideas and nobody ever tells us
<1> And five years later we suffer for it
<1> And sometimes we're more successful than anybody told us we'd be, but that's not how it usually turns out
<1> It's hard to find anybody who's suffered for putting "bachelor's degree" on a resume.
<1> A burger king application, maybe, but not a resume.
<0> ok, well maybe programming isn't for me is what I'm saying
<0> my friend, is a pimp, he does electronics and on his free time smokes weed
<0> makes tons of money
<1> He's a pimp?
<0> why not learn Electronics
<0> yesss he has alot
<0> I want that
<1> You happen to know what he makes in a year?
<3> pothead :P
<0> :P thx
<1> Nobody gets rich repairing TV's
<0> nope, but he has alot of stuff, places...
<1> Or installing car audio
<1> How old are you?
<0> prolly $300,000 pr year
<1> uh
<0> but it goes to things, and places
<1> How does he make that much?
<1> I mean, what's he do specifically?
<0> Hard work
<0> Electronics Engineer, working on his online Phd in Electronics from MIT
<1> Oh
<0> smart man eh?
<1> Yeah, maybe
<1> But that's a degree
<3> lol
<0> well, he also has his own company
<1> I got the impression you weren't interested in going after a degree
<0> has done work for nasa
<1> Yeah, but ask him which came first, his company or his four year degree
<1> You don't get a PhD until after you have a master's degree
<1> And you don't get a master's until after you have a four year degree
<0> no I am but I need to transfer from this Community College degree to tranfer to a State University
<1> Ahhhh okay
<1> So there actually is a plan there
<1> Apparently the marijuana shielded that from our view
<0> yes, he got his masters from prolly Stanford
<0> no
<1> No doubt did awesome at his four year school, too.
<0> not a plan just trying to relax after stressful situations at work
<1> Engineering degree, top 5% of the cl***, big name school
<1> nod
<1> I just wanted to make sure you aren't one of those guys who runs around at the age of 21 convinced that he's discovered a way to beat the system without going to school
<1> Their confidence is usually inversely related to their probability of success
<1> Anyway, so long as you're looking toward state university at some point, carry on.
<1> But yeah, find a better way to relax than screwing up your life.
<1> There's a regular here who has a felony conviction on his record because he thought taking wake-up pills of some kind was okay.
<1> He'll never be permitted to vote or purchase a firearm, among other treats
<0> no , I'm trying to fit everything in my brain I can on my MCSE Win 2003, with this new job working for the School.
<1> nod
<1> Just saying, chemicals seldom solve problems
<1> And they frequently cause huge problems
<1> But I won't nag you any more about it for now
<0> no, I want to save up muny and have something to help me when I try getting back into school again
<1> A criminal record will lock you out
<1> Keep that in mind.
<0> huh? wtf? where did that come frum?
<0> lol
<3> hm.. can an std::string do a case-insensitive compare?
<0> I am not harming anyone
<0> not even myself
<1> Possession is at least a misdemeanor
<3> well that was a rule made up by bureaucrats :P
<1> And enforced by men who carry guns
<1> That'll ruin your day fast.
<3> not when you are high ;)
<1> Yeah, well, there you go, heh
<1> Dilated minds
<3> Maybe the day after hehe
<0> ok, I will not smoke when I am not working
<0> I will never do that again
<1> Look, whatever
<1> It's not our life
<0> ok
<1> I'm just saying, in case nobody else ever has, it's stupid.
<1> There's no payoff in it, whether it seems like there is or not.
<1> Take that information and do with it whatever you like.
<1> Just don't come back and ask for advice when your life starts spiraling the toilet.
<1> I tell you now so I don't have to feel bad later.
<1> And if you think I've never been there, you're crazy.
<0> I have problems in my neck
<0> I have to smoke sometimes
<1> Sure, sure.
<0> I am an ill person
<1> Right.
<1> It's that glaucoma.
<1> Yes, officer, I've got a prescription, but I left my wallet at home
<0> <- wants to go to B.C. for spring break, what do you thing?
<1> Canada's pretty
<0> I kno already, Vancouver is
<0> want to go there
<0> smoke tons of bud
<1> Shrug
