Back then, kids had paper routes, nowadays adult drive them in cars. McDonald's jobs were not a job for full-fledged adults, kids worked at them and similarly worked mall jobs until they could find something solid or finished college. Real adults worked in manufacturing, higher ticket sales, engineering, etc. Nowadays real adults with real kids and real responsibilities are working the shit jobs so they don't have a lot of ability to help their offspring. Junior now might have to help the family make ends meet so that income is not as disposable as it once was. So they prioritize, movies just don't make the cut in a shitty world created for the benefit of the wealthy.
Yeah, instead of cake trump is going to let the American working class eat shit so his billionaire and multimillionaire heroes can get yuuugge! tax breaks.
As usual, lgw, you're trying to overcome your cognitive dissonance with arguments that can't stand up to the most cursory examination. All the evidence makes it clear that tRumpf is working hard for the interests of the wealthy while paying much lip service (and literally nothing else) to the working classes: middle, lower, and way lower.
This was about as blatant a press release as I've ever seen. I guess slashdot has to whore itself out somehow to pay the bills. Aren't sponsored links supposed to be a different color so we know to avoid them?
There is no question at all that nothing should be private. Corporations should function for the common good, just like government should. The privatization of the commons is what started the mess in the first place. Commoners used to be able to farm and hunt on common land, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... ruined what was a relatively egalitarian way to live for "normal" people. With Enclosure, the poor began to be driven from their self-sustaining lifestyles into becoming dependent, diseased, crammed, dirty, filthy, disease-ridden city dwellers. Ultimately this led people to spread their diseases to what became the America's, causing the widespread death (mostly by disease) of the native populations. So, all bad things began with the very elite stealing from the poor and weak.
I am not a booster of the Military so I would definitely like to see that abolished or greatly reduced, lets resolve our national conflicts with champions fighting on a UFC style arena. Try having civilization without a government, it can't happen on a large scale. Imagine the US without a transcontinental railroad, without a national and intra-state highway system. Try building your business on dirty muddy roads where corporations decide where and what bridges should be built. Have you and your neighbors volunteer to pave your local road by hand (or not). Face it roman_mir you're arguing a perspective that is manifestly indefensible.
So I guess you don't enjoy traveling on roads, government controlled power companies, public education, fire department, etc. It must be nice living on your 10 self-defended and manned acres with absolutely no imports. You go girl!
Windbourne, you seem like a reasonably intelligent guy so I don't dislike you. I'll assume we're not talking hollow-points, in which case... Of course I'll take the 10 bullets over 100, lots of people survive being shot 10 times, not all but some. I've never heard of anyone surviving being shot 100 times, usually 100 bullets are administered by a bunch of pussy-ass cops more afraid for their lives than protecting people other than themselves. So, I'd much rather face a gangbanger or two than a squad of the jackbooted thugs known as cops.
Some regs are overdeveloped and focus on the wrong targets, in other areas the regs have no teeth and have been written at the bidding and to the design of industry. Thus they provide nothing more than a cover for disastrous damage to be inflicted on the environment and health of people and other animals.
Trump is definitely a disaster, another one was Bush W., there was the Alzheimer's patient: Reagan, we may never get past their fuck-ups, the damage they did to the nation was secular.
Berkeley isn't exactly a panhandler university. It is the premier institution in the most well regarded public university in one of the wealthiest states in the US. You're welcome poor states for all the money we feed in to the Federal government coffers from which you all suckle. And fuck you all next time you think about putting down the Glorious People's Republic of California.
It has an endowment of 4.04 Billion US dollars. So, do the math yourself and tell me how much of a burden this would be for them.
Way to make up your own horror narrative christian soldier. It really sounds like you live in a very black and white world where nuance doesn't exist. At what point did I state that I was for the right to cause harm to others? To drive in an impaired condition? Doing drugs does not imply directly or indirectly that manslaughter of any sort will occur. In fact if you count the societal and monetary costs from having criminalized hobbies such as toying with one's mental state you'd realize that the cost far outweighs the benefit. It is puritans like you who from your arrival on the continent have made it a fucked up place to live.
Get with the program fool, we don't believe in what you believe in. We also don't believe in forcing our social mores on the general public. For freedom!
Actually, you are somewhat right about microbes, however, the main action in the development of milk products is caused by bacteria inherently present and the feedstock (milk sugars, protein, fats). We don't live on a farm though, yo! We live in the city and so are city folk who buy extremely expensive raw milk. We can do this because the government of California did something good and allows the sale of raw milk, though with absurdly punitive regulation. The regulation they've established is suitable for the toxic waste dumps that are conventional milk factories, on a clean, organic farm where cows live on green grass and are milked on a mobile platform, the required inspections are overbearing and heavy-handed, not to mention patently unnecessary.
I don't feel that the 99.99% of the population should have to suffer just so the 0.01% can safely drink putrid milk products. If they know or feel they are vulnerable, they should drink water, or chicken broth, or whatever else they feel comfortable with. They or their guardians should care enough to research and make the right choices in their extremely rare and specialized circumstances. Let me live and make my own dietary and recreational choices. Don't come between me and my farmer's eggs with a little bit of chicken shit on them, let my vegetables be ugly and carrying some insects, that is natural!
hahahahahahahahahahahaha I drink week old raw milk, so do my kids who are 8 and 10. They've been drinking it almost since birth. Two week old raw milk becomes curds and whey. Let it get older and you have cheese of some sort. Old raw cream becomes sour cream. Add some kefir grains to raw milk, let it sit out for a day or two and you have kefir. Let raw milk sit out for a day or two on the counter and you again have curds and whey, yeah like "Little Miss Muffett" ate.
Try any of the above (other than with kefir grains) with non-raw milk and you end up with a rotted product. This is because in pasteurized and ultra-pasteurized milk all of the good bacteria that cause those fantastic results have been destroyed. Pasteurization is a scam which is promulgated so you can buy the puss-filled garbage that is produced in the sadly conventional filthy factories that produce it.
I absolutely meant what I said, of course I was in a hurry because, whatevs. Nice way to cherry pick some regulation you don't like and clearly not the kind I was referring to. However, even in that type of regulation, there are probably corner cases where it makes sense to protect land because not all land should be developed. Like the land the asshole guitarist(?) from U2 went and finally crammed his permits down our throats to build on the Malibu Hills on land that was previously protected. Just because he was a rich fuck and was willing to fight and sue and lobby, and generally spend the (local) government into submission. But I was talking about things like blatant release of toxins into rivers, mining effluents, liquid chemicals, air pollution. That kind of shit, that is allowed under EPA "guidelines". Fuck all of that is what I am saying, shut down the polluters, absolutely allow no toxification of our enviroment as that is a cost that is borne by future generations for all time.
90% of new medications cost is the bullshit testing they do as they throw away null and negative results until they can skew and bend their test results to show some marginal improvement over a placebo. Much of the R&D is given to them by the US government for fundamental, basic research carried out in universities and is then given (for-free!) to these rent-seeking, gouging, immoral for-profit corporations to essentially merely commercialize. These medical companies are already running roughshod over the inept government bureaucracy that is meant to regulate them (FDA). The tests are carried out with no supervision by the FDA, no records of failed and negative testing trials are required to be submitted, negative results (and adverse reactions) are hidden and obfuscated. How else do you think we end up with drugs being recalled after having been released into the "consumer" market. And that is the problem there, we are consumers and not citizens anymore. If you prefer well-tested medication, find yourself another planet because it isn't available here.
I also definitely agree with the AC who calls you for your "Horse shit".
Transcripts should be fairly cheap to generate and someone else mentioned that youtube's time-marking software for transcripts is pretty good and accurate. I would imagine that a transcript should have scratched their itch. Shouldn't it be a small leap from an accurate, properly time-stamped transcript to putting it in as sub-titles?
Yeah, so I read in some other comments, because of course I didn't RTFA what with this being/. and all. I also suggested that Berkeley itself could sic its CS department on it and solve the problem in a CS way that would perhaps advance the science, technique and arts. Sadly, they'd probably patent their damned work in a non-free way.
They're finally getting a taste of what their regulations tend to do to the rest of Americans, especially the ones who try to engage in productive business. These regulations act as barriers more than they provide helpful benefits.
Isn't your reaction a little over-the-top? I think what is killing us is an exaggerated outrage over minor slights while very significant wrongs are put aside. For example dRump's attempt to defund CPB, and NPR, the reduction of the EPA by 30%. A medical plan that favors the rich with tax breaks and shafts the poor, sick, and elderly. And here you are whining about lectures you never watched nor would ever watch because you have other interests.
They couldn't have utilized automatic text-to-speech software? I imagine a University like Berkeley could have set its CS department on the problem and in the process brought in all kinds of funding.
It is a logical fallacy to generalize from this isolated case and imply that all regulations are bad. Regulations that protect the environment are provably good and are a cost to a corporation, tough shit for the corporation. The other option is that the corporation gets to destroy the environment freely by "externalizing" the costs which really means destroying the health of millions. It is clear that many more benefit than pay by protecting the environment preferentially. The main problem with environmental regulations is that there aren't enough of them and not aggressively enough enforced.
I do think there is some Fed overreach in controlling for example "illicit" drugs, who the fuck is the Federal Gov't to tell me what I can and can't put in my body. Same argument regarding raw milk, vaccines, etc. The Gov't has no business interfering in what I do with my body.
If you want to argue health care, lets have single payer universal health care with aggressively negotiated pricing on medications and drugs. Or, lets get rid of all monopolies on medication; no drug patents, no medical licensing, no restrictions on trade. In other words, lets have us a free market.
You would know about sucking wouldn't you "fisted"? Always consider this and really believe it "They might be right". I do, sincerely. Best regards! Good luck in your endeavors. Go out! Win Awards! Spread your fantastikisms!
Are you the star of goatse? You're famous! I'd ask for an autographed picture but I'd probably throw up or pass out. I'm not judging, if you are into your lifestyle, that is totally cool with me, I believe in freedom.
I refuse to be labeled by you or anyone. I seek truth. Continue to be happy in your echo chamber. Do you really think that because stuff gets repeated over and over that makes it truth? They still teach our kids in school that Pilgrims came here because they wanted religious freedom, the truth is they wanted the freedom to impose their religious mores/ beliefs and restrictions on everyone. The English Government told them to suck lemons (or whatever you prefer fisted) so the Pilgrims took off hoping for a land where they could freely oppress others. Part of this is the reason why the colony of Maryland was founded, they were Catholics trying to get freedom from the fucking pilgrims, quakers, etc.
