    If Ashit Pile ran the FDA, homeopathy would be a mandatory first-line therapy approach.

    It's harmless until someone tries to cure cancer with sugar pills.

    It's sad to watch people die that don't need to because they fell for some bullshit peddlers.

    He singlehandedly made America stupid? That's a feat, all the religions combined couldn't accomplish that, and not for a lack of trying.

  4. There is no reason to assume that it will. You can't prove a negative, that's why it's sensible to start with the assumption that something is not and using evidence to show that it is.

    But that's hard! Doing real stuff is really hard.

    Selling something you get for free to people who then sell the promise of selling more of stuff you don't have to people who don't want it is way easier. Not very useful, I give you that, but where's the profit in that?

  6. Just imagine what kind of people litter antisocial networks, and now we get to hear there's a place where even MORE worthless people hang around!

    I gotta see that!

    We're talking containers and we're saying k8s instead of kubernetes.

    If this isn't telling you that we're talking hipster here, what will? So OF COURSE it's 2Y38.

    Huh? What's Hipster? Well, technically, I think it's leetspeek with a beard.

    I never understood the fascination with math. It's just a few numbers.

    The most cost effective ones are probably the already existing ones. They're free, and in the form of honey bees they also produce additional revenue while performing the desired primary operation.

  11. No. Actually, it could not. At least there is no indicator that would even remotely point in the general direction of that possibility.

    You do know that we're social animals? Acting like a total waste of oxygen might get more socially minded people to waste you for the greater good.

    Umm... no. Considering that West Germany enjoyed pretty much the same (there's even a word for it, "Wirtschaftswunder"), I guess it has not really that much to do with winning the war...

    Really? Care to explain where that would be? What I get to see about heroin users is not exactly on par with the average celebrity bullshit TV show.

  16. Re:Bullshit on Nearly All US Teens Short On Sleep, Exercise (usnews.com) · · Score: 1

    It's realistic and it's healthy. Adults need 7-9 hours of sleep, teens even more and kids even more than that. It's also noteworthy that humans are not fungible and tend to have different needs. Personally, I have no problem working after midnight but considerable problems working before noon. A coworker of mine is the polar opposite of that. We complement each other pretty well.

    I'll stay in my European socialist paradise. I might not make as much money, but at least I can see myself living here in another 50 years.

  20. Good advice.

    Maybe start lobbying to exempt people working in that industry from laws concerning murder. Make it legal to hunt them for fun and profit.

    Yeah, that must be it. We're way too accepting to heroin use. It's practically normal to sit at work and see the coworker push his lunch.

    It was not always that way. Ask your dad whether it was possible to raise a family and build or buy a home at a single worker's wage when he was young.
