    People's attention spans have fallen to that of a gnat due to the constant need to check their social media updates.

    This is deeply offensive. According to this well-respected source, gnats have the deliberate-continuity advantage at 3.4 seconds. So, take your comment back, bzzzzzzz!

    The phone's screen should be disabled when a walking gait is detected via the phone's accelerometer.

    I've emailed President Trump and asked him to take a look at it. Hopefully he takes up the cause.

    The solution might be to build a nice solid wall around every pedestrian.

    I see it constantly in the city. Head down, crossing, cars waiting n honking, they just keep going. I mean if you mow them over, sure you get 10,000pts but also you end up in a news article of man mows over innocent pedestrian and your name is plastered everywhere.

    So your concern is that increasing publicity decreases the likelihood of scoring points in the future? :D

    I personally believe that this ongoing mission to eliminate all forms of natural selection and safeguard more and more stupid people is actually a bad thing for the human race going forward..

    You make it sound like this is a bad thing.

    It's important for the survival of democracy in its current form that it should be easy to drown out every objection voiced by directing the unified zombie horde to chant 'braaaaaaaiiiiiiins' at the appropriate moment. This kind of facility doesn't just appear without planning!

  7. Plans to target road zombies and supermarket zombies are afoot.

    "All drivers will be required by law to be conscious whilst driving or face stiff penalties! How is that reasonable? I mean, if I've got a licence, I should be able to <looks away to play with phone, motions with hand to indicate this is a temporary interruption, never re-connects with the current arc of continuity>" a disgruntled driver responded after news of the draconian laws broke last week in California.

  8. I'm not understanding how this would have been worth 'reporting' if it had happened, less so now that nothing actually happened.

  9. Ok. In which case, not creepy at all.

    Wait wth?!

  10. Like any good product which in the short term appears to fulfill its promise but in the long term creates the very problem it apparently exists to solve, one could assume that if the mafiaa were wise they would be switching their business model over to covert auto-piracy and damages suits.

    In other words it makes little practical difference if it's inherited as it derives from circumstances which walk hand-in-hand with heredity.

    I imagine there's data to indicate that religion is socially inherited as are eating habits etc from those around us who generally share genes.

    Which is why our diets are being used to limit population. War is losing favour and other means of overtly culling the general population are still not widely acceptable. Soya FTW!

    Possibly because it makes you go blind too? :P

  16. We stand by our career IT staff's analysis of the evidence in our possession

    This isn't a scenario where 'appeal to authority' is appropriate, try a verbal stratagem which dispels the appearance that you're being dishonest.

    Firstly lol but then...

    In a system of democracy (lol, haha etc) in which expression of the will of the people has been reduced to the ticking of a single box every few years (surely beyond insult to even the zombie voters?), it is truly inspiring that unexplored depths of corruption can be found by those willing to dig deep. A lesson in creativity and perseverance we can all benefit from following.

    What ephemeral barrier prevents further descent? Did God degree that the people have the right to the sham of involvement in the process but no less? Really, what prevents further protection from the will of the people?
