The fact that you need to create a new special category of rape with newly revised criteria kind of undermines the whole idea that it's "just rape". If it were "just rape" you wouldn't need a special term for it.
The whole point of something like date rape is it doesn't require obvious evilness and might not even really be evil or wrong.
If you want to buy a support contract, Apple is really nowhere. Apple hardware is designed to be completely unmaintainable. It's worse than the later Ataris and Amigas. The lack of tightly packed novelty form factors means it's PC gear that's more reliable. It's also supported longer.
The worst PC brand I've ever dealt with is Apple.
Microsoft remains the weak spot with PCs but the hardware is solid.
There is nothing special about what Apple shoves into it's PCs. Sometimes it's close enough that you can use an off the shelf Dell as a Hackintosh.
Considering how they have been gimping their machines lately, it wouldn't be that surprising. There have been "are you ready to flee the Mac" kinds of articles in the mainstream press lately.
It intrigues me how some of the most ardent socialists here don't seem to realize that Trump and the Republicans would now be in complete control of their healthcare.
Trump has inspired some people to re-discover federalism. At least some people can connect the dots here.
> Too bad for you, that's a not actually plan, as you're just hand-waving it as a solution.
It's a perfect plan actually. It's not that far from other things that have been done already.
Concentrate on the problem that need fixing rather than trying to sabotage the private market and push for more socialism when the first batch of it fails.
Instead, you lot saddled private insurance customers with all of the uninsurable types that would go onto Medicare if they were older or permanently disabled. You trashed the risk pool and put it all on people that can't really handle it.
ACA is actually pretty d*am regressive for something that's sold as "progressive".
You don't see it because you're blinded by partisanship.
Expanding them is really not a great option. They need to be fixed. "do-gooders" talk a good game but ultimately they don't want to actually pay for this stuff. As a result coverage and services are inferior and reimbursement rates are unsustainable.
You're a flaming hypocrite.
Dems are just left of Tories suggesting an NHS with 1/3rd the budget.
Medicaid expansion destroyed healthcare availability in some states. Doctors were forced to take it and fled. Medicaid reimbursement rates suck. They're too low to allow doctors to remain in business.
Stuff like Medicaid is where US healthcare is really embarrassing.
So? You want medical care as crapulent as public transportation.
I would rather have something better than that (on both counts).
I don't want to be forced to suffer over your shortsightedness and cheapness. I should be able to escape the government monopoly you would impose on either.
I know people that you would consider poor. They don't need you to rescue them and would be insulted at the implication. They manage somehow and actually have the ability and wherewithall to use the best surgeon available.
Being poor should suck. You shouldn't get what you didn't earn. That will just discourage responsible people that allow your ponzi scheme to function.
Unfortunately a lot of ideas in that regard are pure snake oil. Like anything else it gets politicized by people pushing an agenda.
Our understanding of cancer and our own bodies is pretty rudimentary. I'm not even sure it's up to the point of "we understand the depths of our ignorance" yet.
I remember the interim years. Apple was perpetually on everyone's dead pool list. They had few users and little support outside of their multi-media niche. The part of Apple that is drives their success now didn't exist until Jobs returned.
No. That's the logic of the founders. If you don't live in California, it sounds pretty cool. That's why we even have a country to begin with. No one else wants to be Sacramento's b*tch. That would get old fast for the rest of us.
Gerrymandering is a pure red herring here. States don't vote as districts for any state-wide or nation-wide office. The fact that majorities in more states voted for Trump is something you can't get away from.
The US was never designed to be The United States of New York.
The same evil unfair skew you're whining about is also present in the Congress for the same exact reason.
What you just described would be so easy to abuse it's not even funny. If you seriously trust every single random pervert that posts to Facebook, there's no point in having a filter to begin with.
People like you are as bad as the morons that get their panties bent out of shape over the fact that David has all of his parts.
There's 100% chance that their "junk detection algorithm" tagged this as something that would offend uptight pricks in the suburbs. Those kind of people will insist on junk being covered on renaissance masterpieces.

Do you work for free? Why do you expect anyone else to?
Actual invention is useful. The nonsense that goes on in the software industry is not. There is simply no sweat equity there.
It's generally stuff that can be recreated by undergrads with no knowledge of the particulars beyond the description.

> You are doing it wrong.
It's a Mac. How can he be doing it wrong?
That's an even lamer response for a Mac than it is Windows. Truly sad...

Public options suck in America. All of them do.

That's just liberal media propaganda based on a few carefully cherry picked metrics.
I have no interest in UK or Canadian wait times.
I would rather be in the country that makes the overpriced miracle cure rather than the one that whines about how much they cost.

Immunotherapy is still bleeding edge stuff with much of it not out of trials yet. It probably hasn't impacted survival numbers yet.

> Grow wings. Learn to fly. That's roughly how likely 99.9% of the population are to ever pay for a major stay at the ICU out of pocket.
That's why you get insurance like a responsible adult.
Your white blood cells are constantly re-generated. Replacing one batch of them isn't really going to do much.

Our understanding of cancer and our own bodies is pretty rudimentary. I'm not even sure it's up to the point of "we understand the depths of our ignorance" yet.
...and yet cancer deaths are down. It must help someone.
You're just f*cked if your weak leak is your lungs.
The person who gave me my cancer is a chain smoker who stands a very good chance of outliving me.
I am not impatient enough that I need to steal and paint a target on my back while doing it.

A part of the Silicon Valley hive mind debunked this Russian hackers thing so why are members of the peanut gallery still even clinging to it?
