It is absolutely evil, and I am typically one to defend google. Lowering peoples wages on purpose, making their lives harder, and concentrating money at the top of the company and the top of society is a load of bullshit and is terrible for society. Headhunting increases the amount companies need to pay their employees to get them to stay, and to make sure rival offers don't steal employees. It is exactly what needs to be happening all the time in every industry to stop this 2/3 jobs and still poor bullshit happening around the country, and the whole 60% of the wealth to 5% of the people. It is why college students like me are going to be debt slaves until we are fucking 40, if we live that long killing ourselves with 80-100 hour weeks until hell freezes over. What a dumb anonymous bitch.
Yes, they do work. I don't deny that. But they get paid disproportionately much for what they do compared to those that do the real work. If anything they are nothing more than low level service workers untangling beaurocratic knots for the real workers, but they get paid like mother fucking kings while game programs make bullshit ass tiny fucking paychecks in comparison. Its like saying "pay the janitor millions because without clean floors our operation would fail"
Or do you just like being self righteous on the web? The amount of money the publishing houses make is disproportionately enormous compared to the amount of money they should be making on this stuff. Sure then contribute money and dig into risk in the beginning, but good risk management and an initial investment isn't going to kill them, when a good part of the time they make a shit ton of money off the game that you will never see. They make far more than they put into it, and you get moderate returns at best. It is not creative work, it is simply abusing the use of capital funds to enslave those who don't have the raw cash to bankroll their own profit streams.
Perhaps I should have specified *Affordable* tablet that can run windows 7. It kinda doesn't do me much good if I can't afford it as a ridiculously poor college kid. I mean, if it was only 300-500 bucks, I could make some cuts and bullshit around, ask relatives for money to get one. But at the current prices I would have to rob a bank. Or any of the local loan sharks. Or...
Someday I will hire a programmer to make a serious of Mac virii, and release them all at once, just so that I don't have to listen to that shit anymore. To be honest, you would probably deny their vulnerability still anyways.
Also, I am running a win7 x64 system that is enormously powerful, and a simply low resource firewall has protected me just fine for ages with no virii or spyware problems at all. But no, it is ok, keep sticking with that antiquated perception that windows has virii and nothing else does. Common. Apple products are far to constricting and limited in their functionality for me, especially for tablet purposes.
If you are fine with the limitations, good for you. But I am not.
My point was that Law doesn't equal moral imperative, and that supporting sharecropping and giving anon donations is better than giving money to the bastards living in luxury off of the work of others.
Law doesn't imply immorality. For example, breaking the speed limit on a long, flat, strait, empty road is not going to kill anyone, or even damage anything. The only problem with it is that it violates the law.
Taking those who do all the real work, making them work for shit wages and then making billions off of their work while you do virtually as little as possible is by no means moral, despite its legality. Pirating these things is immoral. But is it still immoral if you donate your estimated worth of the product anonymously to the developers? Of course not. Is paying for a game practically immoral? Almost, as you are supporting sharecropping. Most people are moral, but few people can follow the law perfectly, as it is ridiculous.
Very illegal, but who gives a shit when they pretty much own the legal system. What ya gonna do, sue them? Good luck getting past a wall of lawyers bigger than the wall of china.
If my logic had a tiny hole, yours is a supermassive black hole.
How can the government brainwash a large number of people? They don't, Fox news does, and then takes over the government. To be fair they weren't the government when they brainwashed people by somehow convincing them that all of the false shit they say (literally, take notes for fox for 5 minutes, then fact check what they say. It is all bullshit pretty much, I do this when I want to get angry and pumped). Also, I believe public education needs massive reforms, such that a high school degree is at least as good as an associates now, or putting someone on their way to a bachelors. Also, historical facts, documents, statistics, are not 'brainwashing' but telling people that trust you totally false information (fox) is. Just saying.
Are you seriously so stupid to compare the US from then to know? Know if we want to be even slightly competitive in the world we need to educate our children. In the 19th century you didn't need an education, pulling a fucking lever didn't require a degree. And for the most part poverty was covered sufficiently by private sources, and people generally lived in much worse situations than they do today.
Also, I believe we need massive health care reform still, as it will bankrupt us if we don't fix it.
And I hate the federal reserve, wish our money was actually fucking based on something so that we may still have the buying power we did in the 50s, instead of this bullshit fiat currency that only took 50 years to lower so far in value that it went from a 1 income family supporting 10 people with ease and having nice things and houses without much debt at all, to 2-3 income homes supporting 2-3 people, and them struggling like hell just to stay in their home and buy food.
It is funny how terrible of a try that was though, I debate asshats like you every day, and never are any of you able to come up with meaningful analogies, actual facts, decent points, or anything. Just the same load of comically absurd points. Although you can reply if you want, it will be funny too see how identical all of you are, and how pathetic.
Not quite, they are in favor of restoring the rights they like from the constitution, and then removing the first, 14th, and any other ammendments they don't like, and placing a wonderful totalitarian theocracy on top of it, rewriting our history, fucking all of the poor people until they live in tent cities or just flat out die, eliminating our education system and making church mandatory, and eliminating all non-christian thinking, as according to them it is a lie from the pit of hell.
Also, they plan to do so by demonizing anything and everything that isn't so conservative it makes you want to kill yourself for supporting such bastards, and their sick cruel ways.
If you don't believe me just watch 15 minutes of Glenn Beck, right down everything he says and fact check it. If he gets even 1 point correct, I would be extremely surprised. The bastard gets off on telling blatant lies and fabricating elaborately false analogies to convince people that the otherwise ridiculous is not just plausible but if you deny it then you should be stoned to death.
I don't buy prostitutes. But I most certainly wouldn't buy a cheap one. Cause then you are the one getting fucked, as the doctor visit to fix that burning sensation will cost you, and the STI test they do is extremely painful, even if you are clean. Any decent prostitute makes a lot mroe than that. Although that is still a pretty nice salary. at 350 bucks a week I could still pay all of my bills and make a spare 150 bucks a week in spending money. That is pretty comfortable if you ask me, for not having to work at all.
Also you forget, street prostitutes are the lowest grade of prostitute. A high quality call girl might make 500 bucks for one hour of sex and personal encounter. If she worked 10 hours a week, well, she is certainly making a nice living without doing a whole lot of work for it. And with that much spending money she could retire at 30 if she saved up right, or worked an extra few hours a week.
Now step it up to the highest quality prostitutes, those senators buy, who might make 5000 dollars a visit. They aren't exactly poor and being taken advantage of, they are living a life most people would kill for, and could retire just about whenever they want and live off savings, go to college, get a real job, raise a family. Anything.
Come with issues when illegal. If prostitution was legalized and regulated, eliminating pimps abusive practices, then women could get the full profit from their work. And to be honest, sucking a dick for 20 minutes to get a few hundred bucks would sure as hell beat working at an office for 8 hours a day an making half the money. hell, I would do that to get by if it meant not having to work, and I am repulsed by the testicals of others, and incredibly strait. But money man, it rocks.
So jealousy is a reason for hating an entire practice? because sometimes people need sex and have trouble forming stable relationships, or women just aren't willing to put out? Like seriously? Are we going to outlaw having nice things too, and having good relationships, and anything else that one can be jealous of? There is nothing wrong with prostitution except for the fact that it is illegal and unregulated. And the spread of STIs, but we should be investing a hellalot of money into curing those anyways, because they are not unique to prostitutes. And to be honest it doesn't eat away from their bottom line at all. Relationships are totally separate from prostitution, and if somebody is just looking for cheap sex they aren't exactly looking for a relationship anyways. There is a false sense of competition and an unfounded hate. What a load of total bullshit. Although I would never use a prostitute unless I was seriously desperate to get laid, my nuts turning blue.
what they really seem to be saying is "He, I represent the modern day share-croppers. We steal shit tons of money from those who rightfully earned it while we did nothing but con them, we would like everyone in the world to pay us every time they think about anything we own, and we would then like to control the world and have so much wealth that nobody else on earth can live, they all die, and they we will be even more richer, and we want to blow up the universe, all while doing as little work as is humanly possible and spending virtually no money, while making a lot. Also, we refuse to make new and good things, we will just blame others when our businesses shit the bed, and new technology is the devil, only old technology can be used or else there is a chance people will find ways to think about our content without it. Mandatory brain implants for everyone, that charge them 50 bucks every time they remember something we stole from an artist via. legaleze bullshit." Or something incredibly similar.
Maybe use the waste materials in compost. Add some extra insulation to the walls. Maybe a better window or two. Perhaps even thing gauge steel framing. Maybe add a solar panel or two. Maybe even a small little wind turbine. Or you know, WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THE MORON THAT WROTE THIS RIDICULOUS ARTICLE!?!?!?!?! So is this the part where jump to ridiculous conclusions about everything? Like should I start screaming about how the world will end because a magical fairy in the sky did something quier? Like seriously, calm the fuck down and use some damn sense, at least a tiny bit.
Actually embryonic stem cells are losing ground to adult stem cells, because adult stem cells have almost no chance at all of rejection, being the persons own genetic material. Also, the aborted fetuses are destroyed anyways, it would simply be putting the literally garbage (it is thrown out otherwise) to good use, and possibly saving lives. But I guess some people don't care about saving lives.
Even though adult stem cells will be more useful, embrionic stem cells are more useful for the beginning stages of research, as we begin to get a clue as to how they work. And hundreds of embryos are made for some proceedures, to make sure at least one will take, many of them end up garbage, and that is simply a ball of cells, barely even at the point of specialization yet. And if that is a full human being, than so is a large percentage of all life on this planet, including monkeys.
Because you're not using methane, you are using a combination of different gaseous organic compounds. Methane is the most simple of them, consisting of a single carbon and 4 hydrogen. Other natural gasses, including propane, octane, heptane, among others are also present in the mix, kind of like crude oil containing many different organic carbon chains. Pure methane has the lowest temperature for combustion that is below room temperature, in a mix where it is the minority it will not explode. Just ask any chemist, they will tell you the same.
Also, I am sure everyone would prefer it that if you are going to ask a stupid question you at least try to find the answer to it first, as me and the other millions of people that actually have a clue would rather waste less of our time explaining simple things that idiots feel should be explained to them because they don't have a clue. The same applies to religion, evolution and a million other important topics.
Large quantities of nearly pure methane drifting over villiages that aren't exactly high tech. I wouldn't doubt that someone has a fire going. Plus, methane spontaneously combusts in the presence of oxygen, as the heat needed is lower than room temp. Especially lower than African regular temp.
Yea, because the CO2 is just a white cloud that kills everyone, but Methane is explosive. The lake would literally explode in a fireball. Kinda makes you realize where some ancient myths came from. Reality is always more fucking awesome than the shit people make up.
