    I personally doubt they are any better for you

    What gave it away? Was it the antifreeze?

  3. Oops, replied to the wrong post.

  4. I fucking hate disposable plastic products... but how much of Hawaii's plastic trash ends up in the ocean?? My guess is that's Asia's trash washing ashore.

  5. It is also very much NOT designed with the modern internet in mind

    I assure you that none of the advanced sketch is over the head of any STEM PhD who has managed to look up from a self-imposed exile amid a daunting tower of books and pre-prints for more than five minutes at any time over the past six months.

    Be sure to take a breath every now and then...

    Ars Technica is great.

    Sure, now we just need to redefine "great"

    It's written by people who largely did not read for pleasure during their childhoods and thus should've chosen different careers. I usually can't finish one of their articles without ending up utterly disgusted with their amateurish "literary" skills.

    Keep business out of education

    This was true when Carnegie/Rockefeller and the like were trying to sabotage education and it's true now.

    A nation of idiots is far less of a threat to the ruling classes.

    Resorting to insults weakens your argument,

    Indeed it does and I'd foolishly failed to consider that, in addition to the hordes of paid shills known to 'ply' this subject, there are literally tens of millions of reasonably-intelligent and well-intended people who have no reason to doubt the current narrative and my choice of words didn't do anything for the 'efficiency or effectiveness' of my attempts to communicate.

    That's all we're trying to do here, right?

    In general we have removed the positive effects of natural selection from our society, which is leading us to a rather bleak future (just watch the semi-fictional film "idiocracy" for a good extrapolation).

    No. The reason we have an "idiot problem" is certainly not because society restrains itself from euthanizing them; it's because society makes a special effort to produce them.

    When idiots and people with bad intent are given as loud a voice as people with expertise and good intention, the result is anarchy,

    No; no it fucking isn't: the result is reality. Proof: you're clearly an idiot with a loud enough voice that I'm responding to you right now... and there's no anarchy here, just baseless leaps of idiocy.

    There are quite a few studies that show there's no link between mercury compounds in vaccines and autism.

    And only a drooling pro-establishment mouthbreather would expect those studies to show anything else.

    This is easy. Are they delivering food?? Yes, you tip. Are they delivering packages? No, you don't tip... unless it's Christmas - especially Christmas Day.

    Ever driven a Saab 900? Notice how, when you pulled up to a stoplight, you couldn't see the fucking thing if it was close because the roof-line extends too far forward? Your Neanderthal girl wouldn't see the ball coming; her giant unibrow would get in the way.

  22. Any sort of Green, and any sort of _real_ conservative, is hard against nuclear power.

    Nuke done right is society's only long-term hope. Is there such a thing?? Don't know... and from the kneejerk conclusion above, neither do you.
