So long and thanks for all the fish.
* END OF THREAD *
Can't imagine Marvin using a ;-), maybe a sad robot face [:-[ In any case the quotation marks should have given people a clue, as they are all things that Marvin says in the books/TV show/movie. :-)
Where did sarcasm come about in this thread? Are you nuts? Sober up before you communicate.
That's true it was stated already. Some people on this board seem really dense or don't know what sarcasm is without a winky face ;)
We should just have good CSOC behaviors and be clear in our message (winky face)
@2lld already stated what you just said, although a bit more thoroughly. Was there a need to be repetitive?
Just in case some people still don't get it:
"Marvin" is a character from a book - Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. He is a robot that is constantly depressed and always has something negative to say.
"Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" is a fairly popular book made famous for the answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything - 42.
"42" is the answer to the OP is this silly thread. He got what was coming.
"Life. Loathe it or ignore it. You can't like it."
Marvin, you are a delusional person. You live in your own mind. I'm very suspect to whether you ever worked for Chevron. But, if you did work for the company, getting rid of you in these layoffs was the right thing. An unstable person like you needs to be far away. Try to find solace in your life and occupy yourself with positive things.
"You think you've got problems. What are you supposed to do if you are a manically depressed robot? No, don't even bother answering. I'm 50,000 times more intelligent than you and even I don't know the answer."
@4yas, isn't free advice, in and of itself, a favor, and perhaps helping someone else to gain an edge? Your post is laughably illogical.
What do we know? That OP has too much time on their hands and spends most of it trolling. Life sucks and then you die. Next question...
@3hid and @4yas, who is the same poster, for a person advising on someone not giving advice, your posts seem to be full of it, in more ways than one. I don't presume or pretend to know more than anyone else, I know I do. It's the difference between "thinking you are intelligent and knowing you are intelligent". You are, without a doubt, one of the least benightedly unintelligent life forms it has been my profound lack of pleasure not to be able to avoid meeting, even indirectly through a depressing online board.
"I am at a rough estimate thirty billion times more intelligent than you. Let me give you an example. Think of a number, any number."
Marvin, please remember... The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams, is only fiction. I'll impart some wisdom here for you and all the readers... Don't take things too seriously and don't offer anyone advise. Nobody really wants help or advise from anyone, only their money, a favor or to gain an edge. Be friendly to your friends but keep sufficient distance to not meddle in their life. Lastly, don't pretend to know more than the next guy. Leave it at that.
"I'd give you advice, but you wouldn't listen. No one ever does."
Marvin read one book. Now he's the definitive expert on Life in General. Laughable loser.
“This is the sort of thing you lifeforms enjoy, is it?”
@3hid, if you haven't read the books, and don't even have a clue as to who "Marvin" is, then piss off! True arrogance is the empty expletive of it towards others. Spend your late evenings exercising those reading skills you may have somewhat learned in elementary school, and expanded your mind for watching "Duck Dynasty" reruns, bubba!
Don't ever presume you know more than anyone else. That is the first sign of arrogance.
Yes, I know that @2lld. I know more than you could possibly imagine.
The number 42 is, in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams, "The Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything", calculated by an enormous supercomputer named Deep Thought over a period of 7.5 million years. Unfortunately, no one knows what the question is. Thus, to calculate the Ultimate Question, a special computer the size of a small planet was built from organic components and named "Earth". This appeared first in the radio play and later in the novelization of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
The answer is 42.
In the beginning, God created the earth, and he looked upon it in His cosmic loneliness.
And God said, "Let Us make living creatures out of mud, so the mud can see what We have done." And God created every living creature that now moveth, and one was man. Mud as man alone could speak. God leaned close to mud as man sat up, looked around, and spoke. Man blinked. "What is the purpose of all this?" he asked politely.
"Everything must have a purpose?" asked God.
"Certainly," said man.
"Then I leave it to you to think of one for all this," said God.
And He went away.

Life is the condition that distinguishes animals and plants from inorganic matter, including the capacity for growth, reproduction and continual change preceding death.

Well. It ends at death. No one really agrees on where it begins. Some people search it for a meaning. Some people simply choose to enjoy it. And almost everybody alive has one.

Too much philosophy on this thread. I'm here to spew bitter insults to the company and read of other people's troubles after being laid off. I'll go troll other topics now.
Is it good to seek the past, Grasshopper? If a man dwells on the past, then he robs the present; but if a man ignores the past, he may rob the future. The seeds of our destiny are nurtured by the roots of our past.
What do we know about life so far: "Nothing much matters, and it don't matter much." You may continue your quest by studying Sitting Bull, Anthony de Mello, Mary Oliver, Rilke; check out lifehack.org, write three pages in a journal every day. Very little in life is black and white; many people are terrified of dualism and change and will resist ever admitting or confronting that. Everybody wants love, everybody fears rejection. People do what works. Basically, seek and you shall find.
