part of the reason marijuana use causes less issues with driving may be that people are more likely to use it at home and thus have no need to drive.
No, it's because stoners are all paranoid, so they drive at exactly the speed limit, obeying all traffic laws, driving defensively so as not to draw attention to themselves.
A drunk, by contrast, will Stumble out of the party saying shit like, "We need another 24-pack, I'm good to drive," being belligerent and pushing away anybody who tries to stop them driving drunk. Then the drunk comes back the next day on foot, without his vehicle, with a bruised and scraped-up face and shunt bandages on both of his wrists.
If there's one thing that people in power hate doing, it's admitting their wrong. The recent marijuana dispensary crackdowns in California(a state that legalized Marijuana for medical use) by the feds proves that they are like the assholes who lost the debate and have resorted to angrily yelling over everybody rather than listening.
What a bunch of horseshit. It would be come immediately clear how stupid those guidelines were if Apple ang Samsung were both car designers squabbling over a car model. I mean, you don't see Bentley suing Chrysler.
When you're pimping a Chrysler, people know it's a Chrysler. Despite the similarities, there's no way in hell anybody with half a brain would confuse a Chrysler with a Bentley. And Bentley, being classy, is aware of that and that suing Chrysler would be a very tacky and un-classy move.
Apple could learn a few things from that little case study, but they want to be tacky and don't have enough faith in consumers to be able to distinguish the two.
Oh, I just clicked preview and saw that you're now at +5 funny and I've been trolled. I may be too dumb to get sarcasm, but I'm still not dumb enough to confuse a Galaxy with an iPad.
In my case, a Wikileaks publishing would help a lot of people who buy my company's technology, and it would especially help the people who touch that technology.
By the way, my company uses Websense, and blocks any URL with the string "wikileaks" in it. So yeah, If I'm named personally, so be it. If a Blackwater guy gets named, so be it. Unlike the stateside folks, Blackwater/Xe employees are being paid $300,000 a year to have bullets fired at them.
...the inevitable fate of the tech world is for the inferior to be gradually, painfully, and kludgingly adapted to become the same thing as the technologies it displaced through lowballing.
In this case Gettys is acting as an apologist for the municipal and/or corporate resistance to augmenting American infrastructure to 21st century standards. Whenever you have an elite few pinching pennies at the expense of the many, then you know that the ZOG machine is behind it. Their propaganda will explain everything away using bureaucratic technobabble while the final solution* to the problem is painfully obvious to anybody.
* the final solution being to railroad more fiber directly into the processing facilities.
The stories about them placing GPS modules in cars because the people bothered to make jokes on the internet or happened to be related to a criminal say otherwise.
And in this day and age, everybody's a criminal. The FBI follow up on every anonymous tip sent to them online, and no matter what you tell them, they will follow you around until you're officially deemed uninteresting. Then they'll check up on you every now and then just to make sure. And they will dig up something on you that will justify their interest.
This is what happens when elite law enforcement agencies operate like profit-seeking enterprises, instead of serving and protecting the people. It's bust, bust, bust as long as they make their numbers and get a bigger budget.
Personified they'd buy themselves a Porsche or M3, then lay off a few more people because they can, by day.
Then after work, they'd put on their dickhead helmet with their neon spandex and erratically ride carbon-fiber bicycles in the middle of every automotive turn lane they come across.
Fuck you momma, I didn't wanted those cookies anyway. *slumps flat on butt in the middle of sidewalk, kicks feet*
- Tell a story that induces anger about everything that's wrong with the world
That's not true, they learned long ago that people buy into more shit when they're happy and distracted, where all experienced controversy is safely insulated from any parallel to the real world. All the shows with mass appeal that really say what's wrong with the world, like The Daily Show and The Simpsons, are funny.
Even the so-called "news" is nothing but distraction. Hey, don't pay attention to Rome burning around you, an attractive blonde girl was abducted in some state you don't live in or care about. Don't pay attention to the DOW dropping 500 points, 4 new McDonald's jobs were created last month! Oh, and you can sleep soundly tonight, because terrorist and pedophile plots were foiled, and that evil guy who was caught pissing in the bushes will get killed in prison.
Come to think of it, you are also wrong about the Sci-Fi - Star Trek: The Next Generation reruns play every weekday at 3am.
The launch price of the original C64 adjusted for inflation is $1141.54. It sure wasn't cheap even back then, especially because many people were still using typewriters. The new C64 PCs range in price from $595 to $895, and the price-competitive Macs smoke them as far as specs go.
Of course, the smart ones will just take that money and build their own box, and have something capable of running the latest games.
I remember when the Discovery Channel was actually educational and even thrilling, showing a packs of lionesses hunting gazelles and whatnot.
Now, it's a bunch of bullshit "reality" shows which all could be titled something like, "Ignorant wooden-acting rednecks hamming it up while doing tedious or dangerous jobs." Seriously, the West Coast Chopper guys?
Disco, get your fucking cameramen back out to the damn jungle or rainforest. I want to see strange animals and their mating habits again.
That's because the Scandinavian definition of happiness doesn't include being jobless and in tens of thousands of dollars of debt, buying big screen TV's and ridiculously huge pickup trucks with money they don't have.
They are doers. Not in the sense that they blow the shit out of anybody they don't like, because they are not greedy grabby dreamers supporting a Ponzi-esque economy built around the war machine and monetary voodoo as Americans are. And that, with all of Scandinavia's evil socialism and double-up gas prices, is why the Nords are happy with a high standard of living.
But keep spending all of your soon-to-expire unemployment money on lottery tickets while watching Cribs, you will win big before you have to move back in with momma. You can almost smell the money now.
I don't know why you were modded down for that unfortunate truth. Hell, I'm a true American patriot, and I was just about to respond to all of the "lack-of-hygiene" top posts with the fact that Scandinavians aren't fat, doughy, yeasty, disgusting pigs like Americans are - Scandinavians actually respect their bodies and take fitness very seriously, and that's where I plan to move when America finally goes all Third-Reich on the world.
I was going to try to prove Scandinavian fitness with event pictures, but of course, there were too many fat-ass non-Scandinavians reinforcing bad stereotypes about gamers. For instance, the Pot-bellied pig seen at the front right of that pic. Does he really need another Sprite?
Ahh, pharmacy school. All that time, money, and intensive study just to roll pills all day - and many pharmacists can't even do that right. A cushy way to make a living if you're a robot with no hobbies or a personality.
A couple of my friends are pharmacy techs and they tell me all about the horrible mistakes even pharmacists make, and of course one of the duties of the pharmacy tech is to catch the pharmacist's mistakes. Any competent CPhT has been through enough basic pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics to catch dosage and interaction problems across a patient's prescriptions.
Sadly enough, The whole hospital pharmacy apparatus becoming completely automated and mechanized within the next 20 years.
Depending on the size and complexity of the drone, I would wire up an appropriately-sized radio control airplane(or copter) with a camera and a light payload of explosive, probably using a servo instead of electronic signal as the detonator for safety reasons. It would be more expensive than firing off a few rounds, but the fact that the oppressors paid a hundred or even a thousand times more for their drone than I did would be worth it.
Drones (and drone operators) are extremely ill-suited to dealing with level playing fields. But you're right about everything else, though. Guess its time to move to a rural area, growing and hunting all of my food and saving up enough money to flee the country before its military is turned loose against the general population.
Soon, the president will be able to order troops to invade their own country and indefinitely detain citizens such as those evil terrorist protesters who are all the rage these days.
If you created a spawn who is incapable of the above, then its your fault. Yeah, you have to be involved in their development, unlike the 1% who can pay maids to raise them.
Fortunately, the 1% have been inept in raising offspring, and it's trivial to take those offspring out.
I kinds agree with you, actually. Decades ago when I was a youngster, the immunizations I received probably did protect me from grevious illness. But I tell you this - Back when I was growing up, the flu was something everybody(even kids) just caught and dealt with. Yeah, it was uncomfortable and it sucked, but nobody ran to be vaccinated against it, flailing their arms like the flu was a death sentence. And to deny that ever-increasing numbers of vaccines are being unnecessarily shoved up our asses, thanks toi the lobbying power of big pharma, is naive.
My cynical stance is not that of immunology being voodoo. It is that increased politicization through fearmongering is making a joke out of science, making way to big a deal out of what is just an uncomfortable fact of life.
Oh noes, some big scary over-hyped disease like swine or bird flu that kills like 5 people but drives the point home that we really, really need our government and medical providers to subsidize big pharma and stockpile(and, scarily, mandate) vaccines, all for the children.
Or perhaps you all should put down the Lysol and hand-sanitizer and let your kids out of the plastic bubbles to play in the fucking mud every once in awhile. That's how they get an immune system. I haven't been vaccinated in 10 years. In that time span, I never got sick from anything other than a hangover.
The Iranians are sissies compared to the Japanese. The Japanese released 1943, in which you the American P-38 destroy the Japanese Navy to avenge your destroyed aircraft carrier.
If you have any doubts, look at the meatballs(rising suns) on the enemy light-bomber's wings clearly visible in this screenshot.
