The Famous Person I currently hate the most is most probably Kim Jong Un. This might break with the tradition of hating on fringe things, but this guy is too big of an ass hat not to be drafted.

- So he spends millions on nuclear weapons when he has millions of people starving
- He executes people using motar
- He executed his own uncle
- He's a fat piece of ****

Also in today's news:



He's the most unqualified person relative to the power and influence that he has. (And yes that includes [UNDRAFTED]!!).
He's currently the person who is most likely to cause the end of the world and all because he has a narrow mind and an even narrower dick

Round 3

Inanimate object

The Man Bun

WTF is up with this "style" choice? A guy could be the smartest, nicest, most talented and compassionate person imaginable. But if he is wearing one of these the first thing my internal dialog will say is "Geez, look at this ****ing jagoff". Don't wear one of these!

I can't get imgur to work and cubeupload which I was using disappears after a day? So since photobucket went sideways I don't know how to post a lasting image which sucks for draft purposes. If anyone has an imgur tutorial lemme know. I can download them there but have no clue how to make them show up here. None of the links from it work.

so far:
The Chicago Cubs
Apple
The Man Bun

Person: Martin Shkreli



a.k.a. the pharmabro, this smarmy, Gollum-looking dickhead who jacked up prices on life-saving HIV meds by a factor of 50 and used the profits to buy the legendary one-of-a-kind Wu-Tang album. Even when on trial for securities fraud he was posting like a jackass on Twitter. Even though he's now a convicted criminal, he'll probably just spend a few months in a country club prison litening to his Wu-Tang albums that none of us will ever be able to hear. Hope his dies of an AIDS grease fire, what a scumbag.

As someone who was a bike messenger for years across multiple cities, I'd like to give a little insight.

It takes about 1 hour to figure out that, if you follow the traffic laws and stay in the bike lanes, you are going to get killed. Just look at all biking accidents where someone is killed or seriously injured, and the vast majority were people who refused to bend the rules...

Why is this? Well, most drivers managed to pass a driving test without knowing that bikes are legally allowed to be on the road. Actually, they are legally required to be on the road!

To make it worse, a lot of drivers managed to be handed keys to a car without any sense of human decency. They actually believe that since you are on the road (and this is, according to them, against the law, lol), it is perfectly within their right to simply run you over.

To tack onto the issue, messengers are, by delivery laws, required to be per-parcel independent contractors. A messenger earns between $1 and $1.75 for normal deliveries, and $2.50 for "rush" deliveries. If it isn't utterly obvious, they are fighting through traffic and trying to make the clock all while taking elevators that take 15+ minute to get up and down.

They are doing this in sleet, rain, snow, 30 MPH face-winds, and 100 degree sun all while risking their lives for $75 / day (if you are amazing and happen to work at a busy place).

A lot of the clients are law firms, who are too cheap to hire on a decent hand to go into courts and waste 3 hours filing papers, mostly because the law firms are completely clueless on what is needed and where to go. That hapless bike messenger has to hand over his lunch money to get many papers filed. To top it off, you are getting paid $5 / hour to sit there while you have 4 packages that needed to be dropped off an hour ago. Does the delivery company eat the cost when packages aren't shipped on time? (roll eyes).

Seriously, from all the jobs I've had, bike messengers are the most hard-working and intelligent people I've ever worked with, and this includes many "I worked hard my whole life and went to 6 years of college for this" people. Not even close.

Most bike messengers would probably jump for a car, but none can afford one. Bikes, parts, and maintenance is very expensive*. They also have to pay 30% of their income on taxes.

It's also a bum deal since motorbike messengers don't make much more, but everything is 2x as expensive, and traffic laws have to be followed very closely which cuts into transition times and pay. Also, you can't use a motorbike in places with many days of bad weather. A bike is much safer and cheaper for that.

* the bikes look cheap because they want to deter thieves, but don't let your eyes fool you.

I used to do it in London on a hired motorbike. An insane way to make a living, but doing it on a bicycle always seemed to me to be a special kind of masochism.

Did you work through all the weather on one? That sounds incredible to me and not sure how you'd fade the maintenance cost on that income (not sure what London pays).

I don't think I've seen many scooter messengers in the US outside of Miami. The rest is bicycle. Couldn't imagine having to ride a scooter in rain or snow. Sounds suicidal.

The fact that it is a crappy job doesn't give them leeway to do whatever they want. I don't think bicycle messenger jobs should even exist. Are there really many things that need to be there that quick and can't be sent electronically? If so, there shouldn't be. I used to live in DC and also thought their behavior was appalling.

Certainly all day in heavy rain. You made money but you never had any money.

We're doubtless talking somewhat at cross-purposes, being in different countries and probably talking about different epochs (I did it 25 years ago).

It often amazed me how being dressed like a dispatch rider would allow you to walk in unchallenged to many buildings and offices, some of which could be almost deserted. I remember walking round the Lloyd's building one time, trying to find a particular office, and no one said a word to me. I doubt that would happen these days.

As I said, what they are doing is actually much safer than following traffic laws. It's counter-intuitive, I know, but it's very true.

You have legal documents that needs stamps, notarization, and signatures. Blueprints and proofs need physical humans. It's also impossible to electronic deliver flowers, jewelry, chocolate, etc.

I was about 15 years ago. Never again.

Once 9/11 happened, it was very difficult to get into any building. The large radio made everyone think messengers were terrorists, and the guards were more than happy to put on a show at our expense. Yeah, that plastic bike pump is clearly a pipe bomb...
