A Thread on American Banking Options That Don't Suck a Caribou's Ass

thanks tombot, i shall read

hey there fuckin' tombot-

whats your take on gentlemen's clubs?

Not my thing. I've not been inside one for almost a decade. Bleccch.

You rang?

Who?

Oh I get it

TOMBOT,

What do you have against some simple, honest trolling fun?

Curt1s

TOMBOT,

Never mind!

DAEREST TOMBOTOTRON,

You seem to have many important bits of wisdom to put forth in re: career options. These I respect, as you are the sort or experientially-informed late-20's sumbitch I've come to revere.

However, what of us who have no universally marketable technical skills, and have spent the past four years learning how to explain why Ridley Scott can't possibly compare to the likes of Buster Keaton? How shall we make our fortunes?

Plz. cite yr references.

Yours in Christ,

Some guy on the internet.

Nick,

You're drunk. Ask me again tomorrow.

hey what's dress code like where you work?

gr80 that is an excellent question!

YEAH!

LOL @ tom in a suit

untucked polo, chinos, doc martens, jeans on friday or sometimes just jeans whenever. my project manager who is a big black frat boy has been known to show up on fridays all clubbed up with the oversize rugby shirt and fashion jeans and matching shoes for the shirt and all that stuff.

several coworkers do stick to shirts and ties most of the time but that's because they have to interact on a regular basis with other poor schlubs who consistently dress for church at work.

also the jean jacket and fingerless gloves are pretty much permanent accessories because the HVAC in the room where I work is FREEZING. Other colleagues use fleece pullovers and a couple of the women use shawls but yeah that part kind of sucks

hey tom, the chiefs trading allen: smart or boneheaded?

the chiefs are rebuilding and the vikes want to be in the playoffs yesterday, so it makes sense for everyone involved. however I fully expect the chiefs to never actually get a whole lot better and the vikings to fall flat on their face because 1. herm lol 2. the nfc never makes any sense.

i think the vikings could be dangerous with a quarterback.

and a scheme

nah, playing in the nfc central ought to be enough.

also the jean jacket and fingerless gold lame gloves are pretty much permanent accessories because the HVAC in the room where I work is FREEZING hell yeah i'm the shit

hahahahaha

Tom, what is that smallish used bookstore on the southwestish (?) side of Dupont Circle? They had a good film section 18 months ago.

second story books

thanks TOM

AND ANTIQUES

haha, thx

will tor actually protect me from the evil corporations that expect to be paid for their work?

not really, websense et al. have all got the tools to detect tor usage, it's fairly trivial. We can't see where you're going but we can see that you're using tor, savvy? and in most cases tor is assumed to be associated with "somebody doing something they're not supposed to," period.

you can always give it a shot. I don't know who you work for, they might not care (for example, most of the government doesn't)

ah I meant at home for bit torrent stuff and those scary emails the movie/music industry is using saying they spotted your ip address and will be notifying your service provider.

Stop breaking the law.

and talking about it on the internet.

hate u guys.

watch it, i have ban power.

the law is there to be broken otherwise they would call it the law - duh - didnt they teach you this in homeland security school

that's the dumbest shit I've heard in a minute

if you don't know if tor is effective, are you going to be smart enough to get your torrent client to use it?

btw, working at a company where you're under discovery rules all the time sucks

u r the dumbest shit ive heard in a minute law man

I am gonna guess Tombot is not so keen on the NSZ.

The Neighborhood Safety Zone initiative has been developed to help increase security for those who live in high-crime areas around the city and to help residents reclaim their communities. The program will authorize the Metropolitan Police Department to set up public safety checks to help safeguard community members and create safer neighborhoods in the District by increasing police presence aimed at deterring crime.

The safety zones will be established only upon request by a District Commander where there is evidence to support the existence of neighborhood violent crime, such as intelligence, violent crime data, police reports and feedback and concerns from the affected community.

Potential Neighborhood Safety Zones must be approved by the Chief of Police, and will be in effect for a maximum of 10 days. Public safety checks will be established along the main thoroughfares of the established neighborhoods. Anyone driving into a designated area may be asked to show valid identification with a home address in that neighborhood, or to provide an explanation for entering the NSZ, such as attending church, a doctor’s appointment or visiting friends or relatives. Pedestrians will not be subject to the public safety checks.

“The Neighborhood Safety Zones is just another tool MPD will employ to stop crime before it happens. The Neighborhood Safety Zone initiative will help residents terrorized by violent crime to take back their neighborhoods,” said Chief Lanier.

Initiatives such as the Neighborhood Safety Zones have been accepted by federal courts as a legitimate law enforcement practice in keeping with the Constitution’s Fourth Amendment. The constitutionality of the NSZ initiative has been reviewed by the D.C. Office of the Attorney General.

The NSZ will be launched next week in the Trinidad area.
