  1. Re:Online text does what now? on SXSW Reinstates Panels On Harassment, Adds All-Day Harassment Summit (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Oh, really? And where can we view these spooky words with magical powers?

    "Sticks and stones may break my bones but nothing makes me want to lash out like Times New Roman..."

  2. I guess the only thing more obvious than a U.S. politician is a Mexican politician.

    On a related note:

    Q) how can you tell when politicians are telling the truth?

    A) When they're dead. ;)

    TFS must've been written by a Slav: no "a" in any of it... ;)

    Stalin wasn't understood as the monster he truly was

    So did Patton, which was part of the reason the OSS took him out...

  5. Re:Let me save you some trouble... on Chinese Hackers Targeted Insurer To Learn About US Healthcare (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    And what's worse, is that your donor barely gets enough money to buy crappy Apple products.

    I didn't realize that Chinese prisoners were allowed to have electronic devices...

  6. How much do you think global life expectancy would increase if everyone had an AR-15?

    This meme of everything going chaotic [if everyone were armed] is perpetuated by shitheads who assume that just because they have no self control, the rest of us don't either. Personally, I strongly suspect that there'd be an initial period of unrest, while those like yourself naturally get weeded-out by the rest of us. ;)

  7. This is the most Murica sentence in the history of the world.

    To each his own; I was raised in Asia (by progressive intellectuals, no less; no sports or firearms in our home). I'm vegan and Buddhist (of a sort)... and I think this sounds fucking awesome. On a related note, it's a goddamn tragedy for our species that the Global Elite have managed to render most of the planet unable to protect themselves (rest assured us "Muricans" will be next) but if while in the process of being enslaved - financially and otherwise - you've got to drink the Koolaid, I suppose you might as well enjoy the taste.

  8. Hell, why not? on China Ends One-Child Policy · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Now that the Chinese can counterfeit even rice, why the fuck not??

  9. Re:Massive Economic Benefits = Going to Happen Fas on How Tesla's Autopilot and Google's Car Are Entirely Different Animals (robohub.org) · · Score: 1

    capitalism will find a way.

    Maybe but capitalists don't solve technical problems; engineers do.

    As as aside, the writer states that because Tesla's tech is evolutionary in nature, and this "problem" clearly requires a revolutionary approach, that means it's going to happen quickly. To use [what's bound to be a terrible analogy], just because it'd take forever to come up with a neon-green German Shepherd through selective breeding does *not* mean we'll be seeing genetically-engineered custom-colored dogs on the market within the next five years, even if it's currently do-able (and I'm not sure that fully-autonomous cars are currently even do-able, at least not in a fashion that society will be willing to accept) .

  10. Which "unemployment rate?" on Tech Unemployment Rising In Some Categories (dice.com) · · Score: 2

    The technology industry's unemployment rate crept up to 3.0 percent

    So these are the unemployed, or the unemployed still eligible to receive unemployment?

  11. So like Legend but bad (distasteful sores)...

  12. If most people could save $0.50 buying their toilet paper from known child rapists, they would.

    Sociopaths usually assume that most other people are also sociopaths. This says you're wrong.

  13. Re:What an incredibly stupid idea... on Universities, Gov't Testing Magnetic Resonance Charging For EVs In Transit (computerworld.com) · · Score: 0

    This is an idea that was proven stupid 100 years ago.

    Yeah, well, a lot of this research is taking place down South; perhaps they haven't heard about that yet...

    not some imagined Western Illuminati cabal

    Everything you had to say was spot-on until you sabotaged it with the above horseshit. No, of course the Illuminati isn't real, so repeat after me:

    There was no Adam Weishaupt and the organization he was purported to have created certainly doesn't exist.

    Take your Koolaid and feel free to give yourself an enema with it.

  15. The bomber will be capable of carrying nuclear weapons

    You mean like virtually every bomber manufactured after we stopped using wood and cloth for airframes?? You don't say! ;)

    Let me guess: spouse and friends?

    Yeah (*sigh*); they were so taken aback by the improvements to my character that they simply couldn't stand the sight of themselves any longer... :p

  17. LOL on Drone Carrying Drugs, Hacksaw Blades Crashes In Oklahoma Prison (itworld.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    in what the officials said was the first attempt in the state to smuggle material into a prison with an unmanned aerial vehicle.

    Yes, this was surely the first ever attempt in the state; it's perfectly within the limits of Okie "logic" to assume this has never been tried before... :p

  18. A drone carrying... glue

    No doubt the glue was simply for well-intending prisoners to seal their anuses shut, this being Oklahoma and all...

  19. Let's lose the naivete, shall we? on US Senate Passes the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act 74-21 (dailydot.com) · · Score: 1

    because lawmakers - many of whom can barely operate their own email - know hardly anything about the technology that theyâ(TM)re crafting legislation about.

    Rest assured that those they actually work for are well aware of the technology their minions are crafting legislation about.

    I've never seen somebody so triggered by the word "A" before.

    Well, to be fair, it's in "Oklahoma" not once but twice!

  21. Re:Causes cancer on Study: Cutting Sugar From Diet Shows Immediate Health Benefits (wiley.com) · · Score: 1

    Then there's the study that came out recently that says washing your body with soap is actually terrible for you.

    And, genius, there's solid science (mainly to do with our symbiotic relationship with nitrobacter) backing that theory so why don't you do yourself a favor and shut the fuck up; your ignorance reeks profoundly.

  22. Re: Causes cancer on Study: Cutting Sugar From Diet Shows Immediate Health Benefits (wiley.com) · · Score: 1

    I eliminated sugar, wheat, caffeine, and dairy.

    I can attest to this: I eliminated all of the above (plus quite a bit more) several years ago and my moods, focus/clarity, stamina, strength, skin/muscle tone and lots more have improved so much that at [nearly] 43, I look younger than I have in over a decade and feel healthier than I ever have. People laugh at me when I tell them my age and they boggle in disbelief when I show them the D.O.B. on my ID...
