Leaving aside the completely ridiculous assertion that a system composed of people can be debugged in the same manner as code simply because it happens to be called a "code" of law, the author seems to be unaware that just about every problem with the democratic process has a solution which some part of history has already provided. We simply aren't using them because one of the many safeguards of the system is making the important parts (which are unfortunately the ones troubling us) difficult to change. We are in a degenerate case of democracy; the players who historically won the game have absolutely no interest in changing the rules to make them more fair. It really cannot be fixed without war.
Are you ever going to stop criticizing other developers for having character design that is in fact less "hypersexualized" and "misogynistic" than yours is?
I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure what makes recycling expensive is that when we don't sort or wash things, the recyclers have to do it.
Why do either of us need to do it by hand, though? Sorting metals and glass from paper and plastic shouldn't be that hard to do mechanically. They have different densities, for one thing. There has to be a way to use that. Or perhaps a machine that puts all the junk through a narrow passage that opens somewhere else whenever it detects a "clink." Then there's at least a great deal less stuff to handsort. If it works well enough without the handsorting, you could just push all the glass and metals apart with the lenz effect. That's two categories done.
Separating paper from plastic is a bit trickier if you want to actually keep using the paper, but why? Paper is easily the least necessary thing to recycle. We plant more trees to specifically to become paper than we cut down to make it. Soak all the paper and plastic garbage together. Anything that becomes a bunch of disgusting mush is paper, with mostly food waste stuck to it. Fish the plastic out of the slurry, let the evil papier mache dry, chop it up and do basically whatever you want with it, up to and including throwing it out the window. It's biodegradable. It's not good mulch, but it can be part of mulch. Or fuel. Or some kind packing or building material, if you vacuum seal it or something. I don't know. Nobody should care. It's paper.
The point is, after you do all that, you have the plastic, or at least you have stuff that is mostly the lion's share of the plastic from what you collected. And that's the problem material. It's the crap you need to do something with that is very hard to make money off of. Why are we handwashing it? Slice all the containers to bits, then boil the shit out of them. Done. Now you have a whole bunch of plastic that the Chinese can melt down and... do whatever it is they do with it.
By the time this could be anything like a problem, if 3D printing isn't in everyone's house like it was supposed to be five years ago, we should just nuke ourselves.
I'm still paying my loans. I'm more than halfway there. I live on $750 a month. What the hell is your excuse, fuckstick?
There are legitimate problems with the value of a college education, on both sides of the equation. If this is how you choose to deal with it, you're a deadbeat asshole.
Every time you make a bullshit start-scam, it has to have a countdown. You can't expect to get any investors if you don't build up at least a week of hype without giving any information other than "we will make an announcement."
I'd bet my last dollar letting Cortana open programs will open a security hole you could drive a bus through. MS needs to stop listening to users, they're dumb.

It's still going to be a shitsucking 5400 RPM laptop drive, so loading times will just be even worse.
Well, it's not a fucking requirement then, is it? A standard needs to specify a MINIMUM.

I don't think that's even actually legal.
It's not easy street. My life is a mess. I'm still paying my loans off. How the hell did you get roped into paying $600 a month? Goddamn.

Killing things and making enemies is not among our brightest accomplishments.

Let's just make opiates the opiate of the masses. They're way more effective than what we've been using instead.
My gut reaction is that our civil rights are going real cheap these days.
On the other hand, I could really use $20k. I need a new car by next month or I'm fucked.

No, listening to focus groups is how we get shit like that.
Really, they should just listen to as few people as possible.

Do we seriously expect a guy to spend several hours doing nothing but watching a computer do its job without jacking off at least once?
