    The vast majority experienced sexual harassment? Let me tell you something about the fucked-up mental state of the population: half of 'em - men or women - would love nothing more than to be able to draw that kind of attention.

    No, reality doesn't necessarily subscribe to your delusional narrative.

    Don't be a fucking idiot: Uber's core business generates shit-tons of profit; they're just choose to invest it aggressively (something they can presumably choose to stop doing at any point).

    South Korea will build the bomb

    Considering Israel and South Africa jointly developed nukes in the 70's, its a foregone conclusion that South Korea - as well as Taiwan and Japan - have had theirs for at least twenty years now.

    There's usually no way to ascertain damages in a libel case (certainly not quantitatively) so I'm sure you're right about that one. However, I believe the burden of proof for libel in the UK is upon the defendant - they have to prove what they said was true (whereas in the U.S. the plaintiff must prove the defendant's libelous accusations were in fact wrong).

    The problem with an emailed notice is that wiping your ass on it and sending it back becomes a bit of a multi-step process (print email, wipe ass, take pic of ass-wiped notice, etc).

  21. Reviews show Ryzen doing particularly well on high quality settings.

    Those tend to be tests where the GPU - and not the CPU* - are bottlenecked. Did you only look at the graphs and not actually read the reviews?

    *Don't get me wrong; I'd still pick it over anything Intel for all but the priciest builds but I wouldn't mind seeing two more DDR4 channels and more PCI-E lanes added to the processor northbridge (as opposed to the motherboard chipset/southbridge)...

  23. This is a pretty sad 50s idea really.

    Not quite: the 50's were the Sexual Revolution which threatened to bring men and women together; TPTB quickly put a stop to that by astroturfing the movement into FemLib (70's) which, predictably, had the opposite effect.
