What's the fallacy called where you assume that a service industry job is equivalent to a manufacturing job? The total number of jobs might not decrease but what we actually care about are the number of GOOD jobs.

A hundred-ish years ago factories and mines were terrible jobs, not GOOD jobs. You'd toil away in terrible conditions for 12-16 hours a day. Go home filthy to your shack of hungry, shoe-less children who you struggled to keep alive until they were old enough to go work in the factories themselves.

He just wishes he was forced to work 18 hours a day 7 days a week with no vacation from the age of 6 until he dies of a horrid mix of tuberculosis and lung cancer at the age of 38. Just like the good ol' days!

There is little that makes me happier than taking drugs. Perhaps administering them, designing and carrying out experiments that bend the plane of what we consider reality.

The worst part is that they've replaced the swastika with "KEK".

So apparently "kek" is what "lol" is translated to if you're talking to the other faction in World of Warcraft.

Computer games were a mistake.

Not quite. If a Horde player says LOL, it appears to Alliance players as KEK.

He knows, but in South Korea "kek" has been the local version of "lol" since before WoW. It's assumed to be the reason "kek" was chosen for the cross faction filter.
