I think this may contribute to an already existing problem with the high cancer rate: high detection. How many people who are diagnosed with cancer would have lived just fine and ended up dying from something else? We do find cancer in autopsies where the person didn't know they had cancer. Is the current trend of high cancer rates partly due to better means of detection, and it's just that lots of people have had asymptomatic cancer all this time? Does every form of cancer require massive amounts of chemo? My wife passed away from stage 4 colon cancer last year. It had spread to her lungs, adrenal gland, and liver. She had surgery for the original tumor, and underwent 3 years of aggressive chemo to remove the very tiny filaments elsewhere in her body. I can only wonder if, without the chemo, she would have had the same fate. There are people who forego chemo and survive. And obviously chemo is necessary for many people to beat cancer. But I have to wonder if getting better at detecting cancer will bring more good than harm.
She told people to eat things instead of getting proper treatment for cancer. If a relative of mine died from cancer after following her advice, I'd file a class action lawsuit. I hope someone does.
But the blood in your brain will keep you alive another 5-7 seconds of agonizing pain as you watch your headless body slump to the floor. Not exactly humane.
WTF are you talking about? It's not a court, it's part of a hiring procedure. And what does freedom of speech have to do with trying to make sure an intelligence agency isn't hiring double agents?
The evidence of man's mass extinction is so vast and well-documented, that I'm going to go ahead and say you haven't done a lick of research. Saying there's no evidence for the Holocene Extinction is tantamount to saying we aren't changing the climate or evolution is not happening. You're either lying or illiterate. Or both.
What source of information is flawless and can be believed without question? Why do people exhibit good critical thinking skills when it comes to Wikipedia, but swallow wholesale what they get from Encyclopedia Britannica, CNN, Fox News, the Bible, etc?
It was a dark and stormy night; the lead sulfide rain fell in torrents — except at occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent gust of ammonium wind which swept up the streets (for it is on Omicron Theta 1 that our story lies). In other words, a typical day on the dark side of a tidally locked planet.
Not the complete picture. In Norway, soil is replaced very quickly so their farming technique of clearing trees and planting what they wanted worked fine. In Greenland, soil is replaced from volcanic activity, so extremely slowly. When they cleared the trees for planting, the soil washed away down to the rock. They overfarmed the limited soil, and quickly starved.
There have been many many collapses of civilizations since man started making them. Egypt, Rome, Easter Island, Greenland, Incas, Anasazi, Khmer, etc. In fact, most large civilizations have collapsed, and for very similar reasons: over consumption of resources. We're doing the same thing, but on a global scale and consuming food, wood, land, oil, etc at ever increasing rates. A global collapse of civilization seems quite likely to me, and it won't be pretty.

So you suffered through Unity, but systemd is what turns you away? Huh.

Realer is a perfectly cromulent word.

Both the major parties are as dumb as each other.
I disagree. Only one of them is as dumb as the other.

Then it takes very dark pictures.
I guess you remembered your Charlemagne: "Let my armies be the rocks and the trees and the birds in the sky..."
It was JUNE!
And I've never been groped. Guess I'm not attractive enough. :-(
How is excluding someone from a job based solely on gender not sexism?
The real problem is the byzantine UIs of these monstrous "Enterprise Medical Record" systems, if you get my pun
No, but I'm sure it's terrible.
No, this is the sci-fi version:

Apparently he used a shell company.
So, just like Robert A. Heinlein then?
Probably the latter. The selection bias here is huge. The really smart criminals aren't caught.

but dont blame Snowden
Agreed. But what about Assange?

YEEEAAAAAHHHH!
Do you find it equally upsetting when someone hyphenates "anal retentive"?
But does it run linux?
