I have never, ever driven drunk. So this technology wouldn't directly impinge upon my personal freedom. Nevertheless I hate the idea. Why? Not because I want to drive drunk, or because I like drunk drivers, but because it places an entirely new control on us. This is the reason I hate CP laws and the banning of child-sized sex dolls despite not being a pedo. It's the reason I hate seat belt laws despite that I would wear one without them. The point isn't that we should have x. The point is that laws banning x always and inevitably expand until there's a broad, active social backlash. Two other examples are book banning in Europe and drug and alcohol laws.
A recently proposed US law against child sized sex dolls would have created a whole new category of physical objects illegal to possess. Seatbelt laws created a new category of things police are expected to look at you doing inside the privacy of your car. CP laws created a new category of data the state may inspect, censor, and punish on every computer in the country. What, you won't let us look at your database? You're not a pedo are you? I digress.
This technology introduces the active inspection of things inside the car and the idea that it's okay for your car not to start without someone else's permission. It's not the first thing, the first thing was anti-theft. This is the second item on the slope. I'm sure the third will be distracted driving. And on until yet another thing is put on your list of things you have to give a fuck about or lose real freedom.
It's not that people should drive drunk, it's that my car belongs to me. And THAT is the real reason car manufacturers like this technology.
Cloud based games would let a million nerds finally drop the last thing that was keeping them on Windows. Sure the hipsters tell you the all modern AAA games are trash but the fact is Wine still isn't fully up to it and those games are the only thing keeping many, many people from switching.
This is pork and garbage. But if such a bill were to be properly implemented with equally considered bids it could greatly improve national defense and reduce corruption in government.
a compact SUV is precisely what Americans want: a driveable vehicle that puts safety first and flash second. Essentially a station wagon, this is exactly what I want. But it still misses the mark. High on my list of priorities is a car that won't track my location via GPS at all times. Until I can have privacy and a Tesla at the same time, I won't be getting the Tesla.
"The patriarchy" as feminists mean it is trivial to prove or disprove. Just do the following: Perform a randomized cross-society poll. Ask these questions:in a random order:
Is it ever acceptable for a man to hit a woman?
Is it ever acceptable for a man to hit a woman?
Would you like to contribute to the Women's March?
Would you like to contribute to the Men's March?
How do you feel about the recent murder of 500 girls in Afghanistan? Is that something Congress should act on immediately?
How do you feel about the recent murder of 500 boys in Afghanistan? Is that something Congress should act on immediately?
If The Patriarchy is real obviously people will choose to help and protect men at the expense of women.
Tell the above to a feminist and she'll start talking about systems of power and oppression, but it's just more bullshit. Pin them down on one definition and the definition will change. Feminism is female supremacy and it needs to die.
They can, but they won't. Apple thinks changing the user interface, making a phone less convenient, using cheaper hardware in ways their target market won't recognize, and faffing about with bezels is invention. If they patent ANYTHING this year that someone else wants to copy for a reason besides marketing I'll eat my shoe.
There's nothing special going on here. This isn't some kind of new economy. Things have been rented for millennia. These aren't shared scooters. They're rental scooters.
Why can't a business publish a whole table of warrant canaries, including each concerned stakeholder? Each customer could have an entry with their name or pseudonym. If a subpoena for Bob were received, the entry reading "We have received no subpoenas regarding Bob" would be removed, but John, Mary, and Mike would still have their entry.
Not that "tech company" is a separate category anymore what with almost every part of industry transforming itself onto a technological base. But every industry from pharma and insuranceto automobilesto appliances is pouring money into politicians with very predictable results. For decades. For centuries. Now I'm supposed to believe the government is actually reigning in capitalism under a Republican president and a heavily Republican-constrained congress? Pull the other one, it squeakes.
I don't know why I bother, since you're clearly determined. Stop pushing political narratives. Hell, this would even be worth discussing if it weren't the thousandth article pushing "Russia hacked the elections". The ironic thing is your side has so thoroughly discredited itself that when you have real news that supports your cause it is going to be ignored. I don't even like Trump!
Professional reviewers are no longer a decent predictor of how well a movie will do. Just having "diversity" is enough to earn 5/10 stars before the real review begins and lack of "diversity" will cost any film 3 stars out of the gate. Audiences, on the other hand, demand an entertaining experience. There are many recent movies that have bombed with high professional critic scores.
You dream a pretty dream, but you should probably wake up and smell the swamp. The plutocracy is only growing more entrenched over time with the wealthiest members of society getting exactly what they want and everyone else getting crumbs. I just hope the rich wake up before their heads are on pikes.
I care about real violations of privacy. Like apps that record my cell phone's audio, government servers photographing and storing pictures of my license plate with location and time, the inability to fly without invasive tracking, credit card companies selling purchase histories, the NSA literally hacking the internet, Intel's Management Engine.. I can go on and on and on. The choices I make in a CYOA provide nothing compared to the Stasi-like surveillance being perpetrated every day on you and me.
I use an acne cream.("acne treatment" from Esse) I didn't get it from a pharmacy, and it's relatively expensive. Despite using the word "herbal" it works wonders compared to other creams I've tried without giving me chemical burns. This data point does away with your claim that no skin cream bought over the counter works.
America, partially due to its puritan heritage and partially due to conservatism tends toward mindless hate of anyone in prison. This hatred is reinforced via astroturf (see many comments ITT) manufactured by the for-profit-prisons/regulatory capture which profits from having more prisoners. It doesn't help that there's a self-perpetuating "hard on crime" (only hard on criminals in reality) political agenda. Politicians who got elected with "hard on crime" can't soften their stance without their opponents calling them hypocrites. Trump's recent prison reform bill is a very small step in the right direction.
A barefoot man in a trenchcoat offering to let me pet his pet rat in the pocket. A used car, cheap! My 10 year old cousin in the server vault. With a pair of pliers and a screwdriver. A woman widowed twenty times. All by tragic accident.
He does this all the time. He says something way out of bounds of reality and in return he gets half of the world's experts writing pages and pages of detailed reports on anything he needs to know. Crowdsourced expert opinion for $0!
Modern "music" tends to involve 40 seconds of original lyrics. 20 seconds are given at the beginning, and 20 are repeated over and over again for 2 minutes. Cut out 30 seconds of this mindless repetition and nothing (more) of value will be lost.
Your stats are bad. 2-10% of rape claims are proven false. This is misleading because of the evil Duluth model-inspired training that tells police to listen and believe, that prejudices most people to do the same, and that removes important aspects of proper treatment of witnesses, presumption of innocence, and proper treatment of evidence in the courts. If those were taken into account the number would be much higher. It takes a tremendous amount of counter evidence before a false accusation even makes it into that 2-10%.
And there it is. Angry male. I'll tall you, mate. I'm an angry male. I'm not ashamed of it. I'm not going to hide or apologize or deny it. Bigotry against my sex and race has been blasted at me for decades and I'm sick of it.
I don't know what your review is and I don't know or care whether this is yet another in a long line of false flags, whether you're lying through your teeth, or whether 4chan took an interest in you.
I'm angry and I'm not alone. Another thing I am not is the out-of-control nutjob you and your ilk want to paint me as. Shove your libel so far up your ass that you taste it. Let me tell you what I'm going to do. I'm going to vote. I'm going to write letters. I'm going to protest. I'm competent, informed, and capable of making a real difference. So keep drumming that narrative. I'm coming for your type and so are other angry white men. We're coming for your biased courts. We're coming for your unjust laws. We're coming for your bigotry and lies. We're not going to stop until every female supremacist is a laughingstock. Now quote-mine this and put it in a journal as a "threat". But that won't stop us or our allies. Nothing will.
Have you seen Running Man? How the authorities lied constantly? That's the world we live in. I know the German authorities want me to help with that MAC. Hell the attempted bombings probably even happened. But that's all I know. There have been too many lies from too many governments for me to take this at face value. Maybe the mac belongs to a spy they're trying to uproot. Maybe this is just a social experiment, or an attempt to get people to "help" so they feel good about helping (like England' calls for people to turn in unused kitchen appliances for melt even though they didn't actually have a shortage of steel) Maybe they're looking for people willing to unethically root through mac logs in violation of customers privacy.so they can ask for other favors later. Whatever this really is, and even if it's real, I want no part of it.
