Also, many fitness trackers (especially the early ones) are quite small. So unless you are stalking people and creeping them out, there's a good chance you would never see them.
> Your comparison of sexual harassment claims and WW2 war criminals is extraordinarily stupid.
They both suffer from the same exact problems of provability. That's why we have statutes of limitations. It doesn't matter how trivial or horrible the crime is. After 40 years, each is equally unprovable.
You also have the same problem of why bother? Why bother punishing someone that's not long for this world any ways. The perpetrator has already gotten away with it for all practical purposes.
Great. Another moron that thinks a car is the same as creative work. You get extra moron bonus points because this is something that was HANDED OUT FOR FREE to begin with.
If I GIVE AWAY my car to the public, then I will not be shocked if people actually use it.
This is like you getting butt hurt after you give your car to charity.
> I don't believe a blastocyst or unformed fetus is a child.
So no insurance coverage for preemies then?
The line between "child" and "unformed fetus" blurs every day due to advances and technology. Depending on your mood, one lump of cells could either be dumpster fodder or a human child we spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to save.
Too true. They only care about the fetus when it suits their particular narrative du jour. Tomorrow proto-humans will just be fodder for the garbage cans again.
Actually, I have looked at those pollution map and your statement is complete bullshit. Also, there are very real environmental indicators that you can look to (like the local plant life) to see how polluted your local environment really is (or is not).
Greed and self-interest pretty much has driven everything we've done since crawling out of caves. You are alive right now because of greed. You have a cushy western lifestyle because of greed.
The fact that they are "victims" is entirely irrelevant. These people won't even use a public toilet properly. They have zero interest in assimilating, fitting in, or just being nice guests.

Keep telling yourself that nonsense and you will continue losing elections. Sooner or later you have to assume some personal responsibility for your failures.
Oligarchy class? Don't kid yourself. Both major parties are run for the benefit of billionaires. They only difference is which particular billionaires benefit.

Well. You can say the same thing about a Bowflex or a treadmill or pretty much any piece of technology for any purpose.
Clearly you don't get out enough.

You said it man. The biggest fattest slobs will make any excuses they can to discount this stuff to excuse their own hutt-i-iness.
Apple has a long history of this. It's not like they just sprang into existence yesterday and are some mystery company that no one knows about.
They are certainly no Rolls Royce.
Things work better when you are being nagged by a human?
Who could have ever guessed that?
That's much like saying you're the best IT geek in Elbonia.
As a fitness device, an Apple watch is gross overkill. For some people, all of this stuff is old news and Apple was last to the party.
For many of us the computer-as-watch still seems like the same kind of gimmick it was when it was first done with Linux 20 years ago.
A fitness tracker is like diet tracking. It gives you insight into what you are actually doing rather than just guessing and making assumptions.
People (especially Americans) simply don't realise what an atrocious level of sedentary they have as a baseline to start out with.
A tracker is just another fitness machine much like many of the other larger fitness machines that many people use to great advantage.
If you tell me I am tormenting a turtle, I am likely to punch you in the face.

> Seriously, NFL games are so slow it's like watching icons dry in the microwave.
This is why it's useful to have a local copy. You can skip through much of the tedious nonsense.
Digital pre-recording is about the best thing you can do with a "live" sporting event.

Again. Why should there be defective children born in a society where abortion on demand until the very last moment is a viciously defended thing?
My own home environment was terribly polluted. So I am not terribly impressed by this narrative. Been there. Done that.
Greed and self-interest pretty much has driven everything we've done since crawling out of caves. You are alive right now because of greed. You have a cushy western lifestyle because of greed.
> there are better ways to heat your home than electricity
You just blew up the entire narrative there. Nice self-nuke.
Heat pumps suck. They are why people burn things instead.
Here, have another non-anonymous post identifying Apple as a shit stained marketing operation.
You know it's truly sad when all an Apple fanboy has left is the "power draw" argument.
Without being tied to the Apple walled garden I can pretty much use any device on the market for streaming. Apple is kind of last to the party here.
I don't totally despise JJ Trek and even I think this is a bad idea.

Even the Turks don't want them.
> SOMETHING has to slow down the German economy before they own us all. Chasing out all technology would do it.
Calm yourself there Mr. Little.
The "German work ethic" already makes the world safe for the rest of us.

This never stops liberals when they want to call someone a racist.
