...why don't the Moon and Earth collide?...How about the sun, the other 7 or 8 planets, their moons...
The Moon, sun, etc are projections put there by the lizard people long before we had the capability of discussing them. All part of the round Earth conspiracy; you have no idea how far it goes. Wake up sheeple!
That's just fine if you buy into the notion that things are magically pulled toward each other across space just because they're heavy. The obvious explanation for "gravity" is that our disc is accelerating through space at 9.81 m/s/s.
I saw it when I was like 8 and it was the greatest thing in the world. I wasn't even focused on the 2 seconds of boob, it was just the best thing I'd seen up until that point. That stuck with me. I'm biased. Watching 'The Last Cut' still feels hollow to me because the first time I saw it there was a voice-over.
Most people are too stupid to realize they hate it.
There are all KINDS of things I think I enjoy. Which ones am I too dumb to realize I don't like? If I find out that I hate ice cream and orgasms I'll be crushed!
Facebook use was recently classified as a mental heath disorder.
I think they make money on people who forget they are signed up for it.
And gifts. I never would have bought a subscription for myself; I don't frequent the theater nearly enough to justify it. But I have one for a year because my brother dropped $90 at Costco. I intend to see more movies in 2018 than I did this year, but MoviePass'll probably still come out ahead. This year I saw Blade Runner & Flatliners. Flatliners was just because I had a buddy with a pass. Blade Runner did justice to the original. Flatliners did not.
This year I saw three, and only TWO of those three I liked (++ to Planet of the Apes and Rouge One, -- to The Last Jedi).
Blade Runner 2049. You didn't see Blade Runner 2049. Go see Blade Runner 2049. If you liked the original, you'll like 2049. If you didn't like the original, watch it again until you do.
Well, the "legitimate" sources are buried under zillion tons of pure crap.
The same could be said of news sources in general. If you look for crap, you'll find it, but good sources aren't hard to find. I follow CNN, CNN International, and BBC News. I trust them and have not seen a headline from any of them that I'd call "fake".
Why would I waste my time browsing through ad-riddled pages of FB when I can get better structured and better presented articles elsewhere?
I often see posts from my news sources that aren't featured on their main pages but are interesting to me. Note that these headlines in my FB feed are in addition to what I see on their sites, not a replacement.
That would be fun in jurisdictions where table waiting and cutting hair are licensed professions.
Or practicing orthodontia? I thought that surely once I included that I could get past the need for a </sarc>. I guess I was wrong. I wasn't really suggesting that somebody who couldn't pay their orthodontist should start tightening braces to pay it off.
Sometimes, you think “this is cool, I should share it”. That feeling usually drops away after 10 minutes.
I keep a "temp.doc" open to jot down my witticisms before posting them to FB. Most of them never get copied out of that document because I decide they weren't that interesting after coming back for a second reflection. On/. I just post whatever nonsense pops into my head.
Most people detest facebook, even those who use it.

Why do you think FB users hate it? They seem to have a pretty dedicated following. Most of the FB hate I see is from people who've decided that FB users are too stupid to set their own privacy limits. I have an account and find it useful and entertaining. It is entirely what you make of it. If you friend mostly idiots that just post pics of their dinner, you'll just see a bunch of dinner pics. If you friend informative sources, you'll see informative content. I follow legitimate news sources, so I see legitimate news, and I'm friends with intelligent people so I have intelligent discussions.
No strong-arming necessary and there is no top. In my religion, everyone's a leader! Just because I'm the only one following doesn't mean that I'm not leading myself at the same time. Give it a try. We don't guarantee salvation, but then again who can?
...your point was answered only by conspiratorial flames about drug-snifffing dogs.
"Conspiratorial flames"? I was just pointing out that drug-sniffing dogs are still in use. The point I was trying to make is that just because something is being emanated doesn't mean you can just grab a sensor off the shelf.
It may be nice to have a programmable thermostat to raise/lower temperature, but it definitely isn't a necessity.
I'd really like to kill the heat when I go to bed and have it kick back on about an hour before my alarm goes off. If I owned the thermostat in my apartment, that would be worth the upgrade. That does not require IoT access. Being able to control the temperature in my apartment from work seems like a useless feature.
What gets me is that there are thermostats out there that would malfunction or not work if they didn't have a constant internet connection.
What good's a thermostat that can't help with a DDoS attack?
...by virtue of being single, he gets to keep money that he would otherwise spend on providing for children and expensive vacations with his wife, and thus be even more wealthy.
In this brave new world we live in, some women have jobs. Jobs that pay more than the cost of these "expensive vacations" they apparently demand. Children are optional, but popular.
It's not like other religions are more keen on wanking...
My religion heartily encourages wanking. You're welcome to join. It doesn't have a title, but there are no dues, fees, or meetings. The dogma differs from person to person and is largely generated on the fly. There are leadership positions available.
Paper currency in the United States is printed with the provision that it is "legal tender for all debts, public and private", language that flows from the provisions of a federal law, 31 U.S.C. Sec. 5103,
United States coins and currency (including Federal reserve notes and circulating notes of Federal reserve banks and national banks) are legal tender for all debts, public charges, taxes, and dues. Foreign gold or silver coins are not legal tender for debts.
The principal purpose of that statute is to ensure the nationwide acceptance of U.S. currency, consistent with constitutional language that reserves to Congress the power to create a uniform currency that holds the same value throughout the United States. While the statute provides that U.S. money is legal tender that may be accepted for the payment of debts, it does not require acceptance of cash payments, nor does it provide that restrictions cannot be imposed upon the acceptance of cash.
It is a widely held belief that, in the United States, a business must accept cash payments from a consumer. Some people take the argument a step further, arguing that if a business refuses to accept cash from a customer, the business loses its ability to charge the customer. Neither belief is true.
Some exceptions by state:
Although as a general rule a private business may restrict or refuse to accept cash payments, at times states will mandate that a business accept cash or limit any restrictions a business may impose on cash payments. For example, some states require that a landlord accept rent payments in cash. Many states require that a private impound lot accept cash payments by an owner seeking the release of a motor vehicle.

What made it weird...
What made it weird was its major proponent masterfully voicing misinformation in the political arena foreshadowing things to come.
Toward the center?

The Earth being flat is easy to disprove.
If the Earth is round, which way is down?

Putting those turbines up wasn't cheap. Turning them all 180 degrees won't be either.

Facebook is not a video game. Even if it was, use is not necessarily excessive use.

I thought that surely... I could get past the need for a </sarc>.
Cutting hair is state licensed more often than not. So is table waiting when federal and state requirements are taken into account.
That's super. Orthodontics, I'm assuming, is licensed all over. I don't get where you're going with this.

Hail Eris, full of mischief.
If it's in the air, it should be possible to build a cancer-sniffing machine.
Of course it "should be possible." A lot of things "should be possible" that we're nowhere near accomplishing. We're pretty good with dogs.

The same can be said for drugs and we still use dogs for that.

Oh dear. So we are arguing about made-up murder?
The story you are about to see is a fib, but it's short. The names are made up, but the problems are real.
This is a matter of law, not rules.
Fine. Here's some law.
Paper currency in the United States is printed with the provision that it is "legal tender for all debts, public and private", language that flows from the provisions of a federal law, 31 U.S.C. Sec. 5103,
United States coins and currency (including Federal reserve notes and circulating notes of Federal reserve banks and national banks) are legal tender for all debts, public charges, taxes, and dues. Foreign gold or silver coins are not legal tender for debts.
The principal purpose of that statute is to ensure the nationwide acceptance of U.S. currency, consistent with constitutional language that reserves to Congress the power to create a uniform currency that holds the same value throughout the United States. While the statute provides that U.S. money is legal tender that may be accepted for the payment of debts, it does not require acceptance of cash payments, nor does it provide that restrictions cannot be imposed upon the acceptance of cash.
That has a blatantly disproportionate impact on protected minorities, and will be very easy to win in court.
Are you sure?
It is a widely held belief that, in the United States, a business must accept cash payments from a consumer. Some people take the argument a step further, arguing that if a business refuses to accept cash from a customer, the business loses its ability to charge the customer. Neither belief is true.
