Because we’d rather eat something else.
Because we’d rather eat something else.
At which point do we acknowledge the cure is as bad as the problem?
Didn’t we all do that when we stopped using Norton Anti-virus?
t wasn’t exactly rape either. She wanted him to do what he did. And age wasn’t completely clear.
What a fucking gross thing to say. A 21 year old traveled to another country to have sex with a 12 year old. No.
That was my thought. I’m not sure if it’s based in science, but I remember being a huge fan of Windows 2000 back in the day, and Microsoft pushed a final service pack that made it highly unstable in 2005, and refused to update/fix it. My theory was that they were trying to push everyone to Windows XP, but I’m prone to thinking the worst of large corporations.
Holy crap. Other people have heard of Discuit.
I got an idea.
Aggressively develop and move everything to non-fossil fuel technology. Share that technology with the rest of the world. Then, boom: Iran loses 70% of it’s GDP, and everyone wins without any shots fired.
It seems like the “cars tracking you” problem is a very real and very serious thing that should obviously be legislated separately of electric vehicles or country of manufacture.
I got a Mazda recently, and I was reading all the ownership paperwork, and the guy asked me what I was looking for. I said “I’m looking for the language about what data Mazda is collecting about me.” And the guy laughed and said there’s nothing in the paperwork about that. They just do it. You can’t shut it off.
welcomed as liberators
Oof. Not sure if English is your first language, comrade, but you should be aware that this direct quote, “we will be welcomed as liberators” was used as justification for the invasion of Iraq by Cheney, and has such a negative connotation that it is now only used sarcastically.
Saying it evokes the strong memory of it being a bullshit statement to justify doing something awful. And, based on what you’re saying… that assessment rings true.
That checks out. I live near a college town where for 2-3 years there was a rash of “college riots” where police tear-gassed everyone in the streets when they felt it was getting out of hand. The solution to keeping the students from rioting ended up being… stop sending cops out there. Everything was fine.
Yeah, don’t do this, and you should be fine.

I’ve been on an iPhone for about 3.5 weeks now and iMessage is driving me nuts. It might be the reason I go back to Android.
This is dumb. I used that feature constantly. It’s the worst thing about the switch.
The linked article in this post is from a pretty sketchy biased site, and you’re right that they are using inflammatory language rather than accurate language. I’m no expert, but it sounds FB may have had a point blocking this account. I hate Facebook, but not because of this.
