"''"My five-year-old son just got a trophy for soccer. I was as pleased as any father could be, and I pulled him on my lap, and praised him. Then I figured out everyone got a trophy. All my praise turned to lies in my mouth. I could not unsay what I had just said to a five-year-old. I could not tell him that this trophy was meaningless.

''I could not tell him to try his best, either, because the reward was the same for his best as for his worst.

''My other son quit the team before the season ended, and the coach wanted to give him a trophy in any case. I was revolted by the idea, deeply offended.

''They are trying to make my sons into little, weak, selfish, puling nonentities: boys who will cry if they do not get the same reward for hard work as for goofing off. Boys who will grow up to think life is unfair unless they are handed everything they never earned on a silver platter. I cannot regard this attempt with anything but a deep mistrust, bordering on hatred. Who are these people, and what do they have against my boys? Why are they trying to spoil them?""

""''[...] [H]old managers accountable for mismanagement. Any manager who leads his team into a death march has failed his employees, his superiors, and his company's investors. He has not done the job he was hired to do, which is to deploy the company's resources intelligently and profitably. We've all been to those triumphant post-ship meetings where these so-called "leaders" got big praise and a bigger bonus check as a reward for wreaking havoc on the health and personal lives of their employees. That's a perverse feedback loop, which perpetuates an abusive system. Any manager who put her team through more than a month of pre-ship crunch to get the product out the door should be getting a pink slip, not a promotion.""

Those poor kids are going to have their lives ruined because some fuckwad at the police station decided that was the only charge they could stick on them.

It's become a series of depressing stories like this highlighting how broken it is but, until people are impacted by it themselves, most are not willing to raise their voices and demand change.""

""[...] YouTube doesn't give a shit about fair use. They don't give a fuck who is making money off content, so long as they're getting their cut. So if one of these content creators slapped a third party content claim on my video, I'd just have to live with them making money off my hard work, writing skills, and general creativity.

""See, the future of YouTube is not you at all. It’s the corporations. They want the MythBusters here. They want the recording artists. They want people like Seth MacFarlene and his cavalcade of comedy. They don’t want you. They want the front page full of corporate content because that’s what’s working at Hulu(dot)com…reruns of television shows. Very safe for an advertiser to put his ads up against. That’s what YouTube wants. They want corporate content up on the Most Viewed and on the Most Discussed""

"Kashou: Wait, don't you two always go shopping with Shigure? Chocola: Muu-, shopping with Shigure-chan and shopping with Master are totally different! Vanilla: Haa. It's troubling that Master doesn't have the self-cousciousness of being a Master. Chocola feels pity for you. Kashou: First off, though, Shigure is your master. Chocola: Shigure-chan is our Master, but Shigure-chan is Shigure-chan! That is why Master is Master! Totally Different, right? Right? Right?
