Keep fucking that chicken, APK. It's all you have left. No one likes you, deal with it. Keep posting anonymous messages in support of yourself while claiming everyone else is failing. You're a joke.
I do 2 things here: I post comments, and I email the management about ways to filter out your spam. That's it. I hardly ever mod any more, my points usually just expire. I'm not delusional about my role here, I know exactly what it is.
You, on the other hand, you post as a third party assuming that no one can tell that you're doing all of the posting. That's what you do here, that's your role. Your role is to amuse other people who can't believe that a 50+ year old man actually acts like a 12 year old on a regular basis. You accuse me of talking for everyone while saying things like "it makes us all laugh" (literally speaking for a group of people, while at the same time impersonating a third party other than yourself). And I truly believe that you do all of that genuinely without detecting even a hint of irony. It is equally funny and sad. You are a Shakespearean comedy, APK. The only thing that makes you so funny is your complete lack of self-awareness, and it imparts a genuine feeling of pity in people like me who read your posts. I pity you APK, I do. You're sitting there alone making posts, acting like you're someone you're not, trying to pretend like you are someone who supports yourself or thinks well of yourself, and you do that because no one else will and you have an apparently insatiable desire to be liked or respected. Your ego couldn't take it if you really knew that no one liked you or wanted to be with or around you. It is a pathetic comedy. You've made yourself into a parody, some sort of pathetic satire, and you do it all absolutely willingly, with excitement even, and along the way you continue to claim victory. Just like a child. Or, like a pigeon shitting all over a chess board and then strutting around like it's won. That's you, APK. You need to grow up. You need to move on. You need to figure out what truly makes you happy and pursue that instead of writing anonymous posts in support of yourself. Because, at the end of day, you still don't have any supporters. It's still only you writing those posts.
Go ahead, call me a jerk again. Act like it's not you making these posts. Tell me how much I fail. I'm sitting here as a CTO with a 6-figure salary and a girlfriend waiting for me at home, and you're making anonymous comments in support of yourself talking about how great you are. Which one of us is failing, APK?
But I prefer my way : "Why save an animal why you could save a child instead?"
Because we locked the animal up, it's suffering because of us. It is immoral to leave them in that condition. The presence or lack of human suffering has no bearing on the morality of keeping animals captive in bad conditions.
Moreover, ending all human suffering is not a reasonable goal. It will never be achieved. There is no reason to extend unnecessary animal suffering indefinitely just because we can't end all human suffering. We should do good wherever we can, not hold out for 100% achievement of any particular goal before starting on the next goal. It might take a tremendous amount of resources to go from 90% to 100%, for example, where those same resources on another goal could take that other goal from 0% to 50%. That's a more efficient use of resources.
If you really want to end child suffering then the best way to do that is to start mass sterilization of people so that they stop having more children than they can care for. Is that what you want to happen? Should we go around sterilizing people in the most crowded and poor places so that they stop creating more children than they are able to feed?
I have no technical ability to stop you from posting at all, APK. All I can do is email the management to suggest new filters. ACs are protected here, allowing anonymous posts is a useful thing and you're not going to be the reason it stops, it provides too much value even for you to shut it down. You're going to continue strutting around and shitting all over the place, everyone knows that, even though you said you were going to stop. We know you lie, we know your word has no value, we know you're going to continue to attempt to shit as much as possible here, and we know you're going to keep fucking that chicken.
There most definitely has been a noticeable decrease in your spam though, so in that sense we have been successful. That was my goal all along - to stop the incessant shit flood of your advertisements. That goal has been accomplished, I haven't seen you spreading your shit 30+ times in a single thread any more. If and when you do, it's just more filters that get added to identify your unique posts and block them, and more emails to Steve letting him know that you're now posting spam that links directly to his site against the wishes of the management of this site, and against the wishes of the community. And, again, you trotting out your 8 quotes does not in any way prove anything I've said to be wrong. You continue to show how pitiful your case is every time you link to that post. It's all you have.
I understand what average life expectancy means, thank you. Here's my point: if we have a breeding program which causes extremely high infant mortality rates, but the survivors still live about as long as wild animals, is it really fair to ignore that infant mortality rate and just claim that they have the same life expectancy?
So tell me Einstein, how many animal live worth a human life in your eye?
That's exactly the point. Is an animal life worth any less than a human life? You clearly believe so. Many people believe so. But is it actually true? Does a sheep, cow, or orca really have any less of a right to a happy and healthy life than you or I? That's a good article, written by a man farming animals, and it touches on the struggle that we have with this idea. I highly recommend reading it. If you think it's a "save the animals" fluff piece, it's not.
As to whether or not we should help animals or people first, consider this point: the reason that the animals are suffering is because of us. Shouldn't we end their suffering and let them live the happy lives that they deserve, don't we have a moral obligation to do that based on the fact that we are causing them to suffer in the first place? In many cases the reason why people are suffering is also because of us. Since humans are the cause of so much suffering, that is one reason why there are so many people who want to help the innocent animals instead of the sadistic humans. We are the #1 threat for every animal living on the planet, including ourselves. A lot of people notice that fact and think that they want to help the innocent victims of humans instead of trying to help the humans.
OK. So, until we end child starvation and things like that, we should keep animals captive in horrible conditions. Because that's moral. That's what you're saying?
I mean, how about we stop keeping animals captive, AND ALSO try and help suffering people? Why do you want to insist on being assholes to animals until every human is fed?
You are still posting to impersonate other people claiming to support yourself. That's not a victory in any game that I'm aware of. And you know I'm right also, you know for a fact that you do impersonate third parties. Like I've said before, that is fundamentally dishonest. You know for a fact that you are a dishonest person. In other words, you lie.
From my point of view, a cattle will "amuse" a few thousand person's mouth with his meat. On the other hand, the orca from TFA amuse a few million person each fucking years. So, again from my point of view, using orca is a over 1000x time more "morally right" that using cattle for meat.
How about just not having the orcas in captivity? If you want to eat meat, fine, go eat meat, but is it really a vital necessity to keep orcas in tanks? Why do you have to choose between one or the other, which one is "more right"? How about just not fucking putting the whale in a tank by itself for 30 years? Why is not doing that not an option?
That's a nice word, "roughly". We've seen 100 year old wild orcas. The orca that has currently been alive the longest in captivity is a 51 year old female, Corky.
Corky is a 51-year-old female orca at Sea World San Diego. She is the longest-held captive orca in the world and is the largest female orca in captivity. She is now the only survivor from the Northern Resident captures. Around the age of four, Corky was captured in Pender Harbor off the coast of British Columbia on December 11, 1969. From there, she went to Marineland of the Pacific and lived with three other orcas. However, the two orcas who she was captured with died after three years and she spent most of her time at Marineland with an orca bull named Orky. Corky has been pregnant seven times, resulting in four live births from 1977 to 1985 (with two failures in 1986 and 1987), none of which survived the first two months of life.
I don't know about you, but a 100% infant mortality rate sounds "roughly" higher than what you would expect in the wild. Let's go over some others who have died in captivity. "Baby Shamu II" lived for 12 days. Bingo was 31 when he died of a respiratory illness. Freya was 35 when she died of an unknown illness. During her time in captivity she had 4 stillborn calves and 1 that survived.
Gudrun was captured near Iceland in 1976 and moved to Florida in 1987. Gudrun gave birth to Taima in 1989 (Taima's father died the next year at age 20). In 1993 Gudrun gave birth again, to Nyar. Nyar was often mentally and physically ill, and Gudrun tried to drown her several times. In February of 1996 Gudrun tried to deliver another calf, but after 20 hours of labor it was dead and had to be removed with a crane, which caused bleeding in Gudrun and her dorsal fin collapsed. She swam to a gate to try to make amends with her abused daughter Nyar, and died 4 days later. Nyar died several weeks later in April at the age of 2. Her oldest daughter Taima tried to drown several of her own calves after watching her mother do that to Nyar. Taima died in 2010 following complications after another stillborn birth.
Here, you can read some more about them if you'd like. I'll be the first one to admit that I'm not a marine biologist, but in the wild when orcas are traveling in family pods I'm pretty sure that they don't have these kinds of problems on this scale. If an animal as large as an orca with such a long gestational period had a birth survivability rate of around 90% I don't think they would last too long. And a new mother isn't going to try to drown her calves because the entire pod takes responsibility for raising the calves. Wiki reports the wild mortality rate for the first 7 months as between 35% and 50%, not 90%. Wiki also says "Captive killer whale lifespans are typically significantly shorter, usually less than 25 years; however, numerous individuals are alive in their 30s, and a few have reached their 40s." The citations are on the article. But, there's one of those words again, "typically". Just like "roughly".
What we know is this: a life in captivity is no way for an orca to live. They belong in the ocean, not in a tank. They aren't pets, they're whales. They aren't here for our amusement.
APK, the only person you're fooling is yourself. You have no anonymous supporters here, it's only you. It's always ever been only you. Everyone knows this.
Right, the FBI just needs to install a compromised app on the phone, which will then allow them to use that app to download another app to get into the inner workings of the phone so that they can get the pass code necessary to unlock the phone in the first place.
You seriously need to grow up APK. Your word means shit, maybe try to live up to what you say. How is the campaign to stop you going? Well, you're still posting as third parties hiding your true identity, so apparently you're feeling it. You're not wanted here. And, no, sorry, referencing 8 posts out of 4.5 million+ users and 50 million+ comments is not proof that people here like you. In fact, it's sad that you can only point to a handful of posts, and you still trot that out like a first place trophy when it only shows how little support you have.
You haven't answered my question, still. If the management requests that you stop posting, will you stop?
You already claimed you were leaving but you're still here like herpes, so I know that your personal word doesn't stand for anything. You're a sad man, APK. You're reduced to fighting against a tide of people and rules who don't like you or don't want you, and you think you're doing something clever by sticking around where you're not wanted. It's sad and pathetic. Your immaturity continues to show, you need to spend more effort trying to grow up.
There's no reason to believe any of APK's claims, he's a proven liar. Here he is claiming that he's not going to post on Slashdot any more. His word doesn't mean anything, and anyone who deals with spammers knows that the first rule when dealing with spammers is that they lie. Even though he looks for posts mentioning ad blocking or the like where he posts his spam, and therefore try and claim the high ground of being on-topic, if he wasn't a spammer then he wouldn't re-post the same thing when it gets modded down. He's not on topic, he's just spamming. If his word doesn't mean anything, if honesty and integrity don't mean anything to him, and if he voluntarily chooses to advertise his software via spamming, why would anyone knowingly download and run his code?
Are there actually THAT many people that HAVE to see it on release day.....and can't wait for a later, more convenient day, or maybe just do like I do...and wait for it to come out on BLuRay...rent and watch in the comfort of their own home...?
Are there that many people who have different priorities than you do? Yeah, I guess there are, weird how that works. Go ask the UFC how much their fights make on pay per view sales, and also feel free to get their opinion on whether or not they care how you choose to spend your time.
I like how you mention "the comfort of their own home", as if this isn't exactly what is being sold. I've only watched one or two UFC fights in public, and you have to either reserve space or get there hours early for a decent spot. Everything else has been at my house or a friend's place where we order or make food, people chip in on the cost, etc. It's really not a big deal. The recent Star Wars made almost $248 million in the opening weekend, so get out your calculator and figure out how many tickets they sold to that. There are actually THAT many people who WANT to see it on release day, and instead of standing in line with hundreds of other idiots they can get their group of friends together and watch it, in the comfort of their own home.
Who cares? RealClearPolitics also predicted Clinton with a 20+ point lead in Michigan, and you can see how that turned out. If polls this election season are proving anything, it is that the people who participate in polls and the people who actually vote are 2 different groups.
Even so, who cares about Clinton? According to that site, the only people she beats are Trump and Carson (who dropped out). Sanders beats any Republican opponent. If the Democrats wanted to ensure that the Republicans lose then they would nominate Bernie.
