  1. Just another chapter or banter in this game on Russian Submarines are 'Prowling Around' Undersea Internet Cables (thehill.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    towards well, your guess as good as mine..

    Fact is that nervousness is increasing with all the little acts some "not so smart" people are undertaking.

    How did wars start? Some event, be it a shot or some other rocket started, when the exciting level is pushed up and the spark ignites.
    Are people learning from the past, looking at the current actors, definitely no. All feeding their own insanity and the millions either seduced by emotional excitement or staying remote in disgust are suffering from those the games those jerks play.

    Truly amazing that this nonsense still happens.

    System failure, reset & reboot, but on what hardware???

  2. If one of those trading accounts gets heisted....

  3. It could become true - will it?

    - the US political system seems to be financed by contributions to the candidates or incumbents to get elected or reelected or - the candidates or incumbents (let's call them "seats" from now on) are independently rich - multi-billionaires - to pull it through on their own.

    I financier of a "seat" has a certain interest in a "seat" to get his/her ideas promoted and implemented. A "seat" then is in a bind to go by that line of the financier, or s/he will need to look for other financiers next time and considered "unreliable". Can't imagine the Koch's sponsoring someone promoting workers right, unions etc. It's called bribery in other places outside the US.

    Self-financed "seats" are independent in their actions and can actually do what they want if they get elected, but what frame of mind do they have as multi-billionaires? One needs to justify inwardly to be "rich" and many others visible everywhere are not - can happen in multiple ways - nevertheless creates a certain mind set, often detrimental to the "underlings"... One example of idiocy mind-set: Everyone can make it, if someone doesn't s/he is doing something wrong and needs to learn to do better, just look at the examples A, B, C where it worked .... bullshit!

    The political system needs to become independent from outside influences, like a government financed budget to "seats" with a certain vote count.

    Will that ever happen - NO because all those string-pullers, who are doing so well how it works right now, just look at the latest tax system getting implemented, will no longer be able to play their games.

    Now, looking at the 2-Party system - all hope is that the Democrats, once again in power will make it all right - wanna bet on it?

    Why are there no more political parties in the government? String pullers again at work....

      Good luck hoping, there is no hope.....

  4. Positive effect: on Power Outage Strands Thousands at US Airport. 600 Flights Cancelled (cnn.com) · · Score: 0

    Sure stops air pollution - those airplanes do pump out a lot of garbage into the air.
    Check out how many tons of fuel a Trans- Atlantic takes with a passenger plane.

  5. until it is implemented in "other countries" - like the USA - just for your security. Running around with a face mask will make you even more suspect.
    Looks like a high %ige of current population will support it as well - fear for crack-pots blowing up surroundings etc. and the bad people (rapists, criminals, gang members) coming into this country...

    It all works out just fine.

  6. mental jackpot achieved by your beloved POTUS.

  7. hates it!

  8. A very common appearance as it seems... on Exhausted Amazon Drivers Are Working 11-Hour Shifts For Less Than Minimum Wage (mirror.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    What is the underlying reason for this happening?
    Or - is it required to obtain certain goals and what would they be?

    Who benefits from it and why are other's paying with their health and well-being?

    Reminds me of certain animal species where dominant males kill offspring fathered by other males....

    Maybe there is or has been an advantage in evolution for that, but what is the advantage now.

    Nothing exists in human behavior without advantage, being it real or imaginary fantasy - i. e. mindfuck.

  9. all the way to the US Supreme Court and then see, what this whole system is worth...

  10. Re:I love that: on The Firestorm This Time: Why Los Angeles Is Burning (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    If you bothered to at least google the matter instead of just making a cynical comment, you'd learn that you can actually find something like this in the soil.

    What do you base your doubt on? Gut feeling or something substantial?

    What? I need to "google" - for what is "normal" here? Just MF look around!

    There is absolutely no condition in the past except magnitudes of extinction which is comparable to this situation right now and to call anything "normal" because there was something minor in the past is baloney, just a maybe unintentional attempt to console. It's on the same level as some new guy in some office claiming there is no global warming - or climate change is a hoax.

    There is one species on this globe with some larger brain and creating with it this havoc comparable only with a few events in the past of this planet.

    Yeah, google that:

    If humans coming out of this environment and are somewhat handicapped, they may be less critical, having to deal with their own issues.
    And - does anyone think about fixing it - just look at the current power structure and what the priorities there are.. In particular, a retard on top...

  16. Why is there a problem? on 375 Million Jobs May Be Automated By 2030, Study Suggests (cnn.com) · · Score: 0

    If somebody does not do well with what will be coming with this job replacement, he or she is making a mistake, needs to be punished for the mistake to learn from it to do better.

    - haven't looked at the study though, no time..

  18. all the effort he put in @ HBO was for the birds, as it seems.

  19. jail time for somebody for illegally snooping without consent. Oh, we are in the USA, sorry for bringing that up.

  20. Your cut is the content on the website where the ads are running. When you buy groceries do you pay your money and then ask for your cut of what you just paid? I mean if it wasn't for you and people like you showing up to buy food there they would be out of business. They should really pay you for that.

    I have not heard such hypnotized BS in a long time. FYI, there are web sites without ads, I have one as a matter of principle and the original internet had no ads either.

    So what is happening over time, the original idea got lost more and more. Now we are at endangering net neutrality, link tax and manipulating votes.

    I go on a web site because of content there and not having ads which have no value whatsoever for me, popups in the middle of my face asking this and that want to get my email - please sign up for xyz for totally unrelated and useless stuff, I have no need, small movies running all over, have my movements tracked and evaluated somewhere else etc. etc.

    This is all optical abuse to the highest degree - you love it, swallow it and be happy! What it does to your subconscious perception and lack of defense to nonsense may be a good question to ask.

    Ad blockers, privoxy and if a web site objects, great - not for me. Some websites are impossible to go to without help of blocker since they are so overloaded that one needs a magnifying glass to find relevant content inmidst moving objects ....

  21. I don't get paid enough for my share to contribute to this industry by having to watch those ads, so no TV.

    Still working on popups and other nuisances on the web - HEY, where is my cut on this?
