You don't really like the flavor of the real thing (coffee/beer) so you try and drink something that doesn't taste like it, you're just drinking it to fit in with some preconceived notion of what your should be.
I don't understand why people who don't seem to like coffee disguise the hell out of it instead of just drinking something else. On Friday, one of my co-workers came in early and brewed a carafe of some gourmet fudge-pinon stuff. Damnet, if I wanted hot chocolate, I'd fucking MAKE hot chocolate.
I can't look right now (I'm at work), but last time I checked the bookies DJT was odds-on being out before 4 years. $10 would win you $21 if he went the whole 4 years, but $10 would only win you $16 if he left office due to resignation or was impeachment.
I don't recall seeing odds on going 8, but I'm sure they were there.
Agreed. These are empty fantasy claims being made to solicit funding. You'll see a quicker return on investment betting on fusion reactors. FTS:
If I threw [you] into an M.R.I. machine right now... I can tell you what words you're about to say, what images are in your head. I can tell you what music you're thinking of.
I gotta call bullshit. I just straight up don't believe that. You might be able to tell me that I'm thinking about music, but I'd be blown away if you could tell me it's Vera Lynn. I think this ability is being exaggerated at least.
Until losers of athletic events are euthanized, there will be no valid comparison.
Hillary was euthanized? I thought she was just sent off into the woods to sulk for a while. The "fewer yards but more points" analogy seems appropriate to me.
And CNN's bias here is? A bias against somebody making videos of DJT attacking a CNN stand-in? You were expecting support? Not even Fox is applauding this.
How many lives a day would self-driving cars have to save before there's a "hurry"? Even if self-driving cars can only decrease fatal accidents by 10% compared to meaty drivers, that equates to actual lives lost/saved. Of course if self-driving cars increase the number of fatal accidents then we've gone and killed people, but I don't think that will be the case.
But I'd rather my epitaph not be delivered by some software engineer: "Oops! I guess we have a bug."
As opposed to, "Oops! I guess that text could have waited." Self-driving cars don't have to be 100% safe; they just have to out-perform the alternative.
Demand goes infinite as the price approaches $0, and disappears as the price goes too high.
Demand will never exceed the number of machines infected - Not infinite. Lower, in fact, because a lot of victims don't have and will not create a bitcoin wallet even for a $1 ransom.
No but the customer service you receive from the people restocking the shelves, cleaning up, etc is 0.
You've never asked an employee stocking shelves where to find something? I have. Does cleaning up a spill so that I don't slip not count as customer service?
Amazon already has my name and address. I don't care if they find out that I occasionally buy toothpaste.
They care very much about you buying toothpaste. They also care about the brand, where you get it, what you pay, what else you buy at the same time... Your shopping habits are made of gold.
You would also disprove about 90% of Earths religions...
Established religions won't tolerate being disproved. The best you could hope for is encouraging them to re-interpret their holy writings to fit the new reality.
...0% of our elected officials are non-religious...
I think that a lot of them are less religious than they let on. That's not to say that their religious facade won't impact their actions.
I'm not sure what you're talking about, but one of Goop's products is indeed vaginal. Colbert was talking about it Wednesday night. It's a small, strategically shaped stone that's used for exercises and claims to "improve vaginal muscle tone." It probably works better than balancing your body's energy frequencies with a sticker. Everyone knows that your can't balance your body's energy frequencies without magnets.
...there would be a compounding series of variable scenes, which could dramatically affect later story arcs.
In many children's shows and quite a few adult shows, there's a hard rule that everything resolves itself at the end leaving it in the same state as the start, no matter what happens in the middle.
If I'm watching TV it's because I *don't* want to interact.
Me either, but I'm guessing we're both adults. From my in-depth examination of the summary, I don't think this is aimed at adults. Children have different motivations watching TV. I would have loved to make a couple of choices for the Thundercats or show Big Bird that I was paying attention.
Last week we heard how the DPRK was responsible for Wannacry. Today it's back to the NSA. Can we at least keep our talking points consistent?
The NSA was responsible for leaking the exploit that was used for WannaCry. DPRK may have been the ones to weaponize it. I don't understand the confusion.

I put more faith in a bookie making money than DJT following through on his 4-year commitment. I predict we'll see him declare victory and resign.

Waiting for the "WAR" headline as I check the news each morning
If the U.S. declares war, it'll be announced first on Twitter.

...we need to scrutinize it in ways we would never do with other people...
The level of scrutiny is directly proportional to the propensity for conveying inaccurate information.
We shouldn't have secrets that dangerous.
Are you suggesting that those secrets be made public or that we eliminate everything dangerous?
I'm not sure there's a huge hurry here.

What if you want to launch a missile strike from your phone? I saw Arnold do it in a commercial. Think about these questions before you ask them.
"Of course we serve vegetarians. What do you think cows are?"
...And that was using what was arguably actual Meat. People were revolting...
I've never tried eating people, but it sounds revolting.

"I Am A Lawyer" doesn't mean shit. It will take all of 10 minutes to find another lawyer who will say exactly the opposite.
Exactly. Any lawyer with half a brain will say IANAL if he's posting to /. .
We know there aren't aliens because Donald Trump would have blabbed about it by now if there were.
I'd like to believe that our government keeps some secrets from DJT. I don't know that's the case, but believing it helps me sleep at night.

Granted, there are vast areas of Russia & Africa that are uninhabitable...
Uninhabitable compared to Mars?
