    I had a look and it's literally impossible to report problematic hashtags on Instagram. Apparently unless you are major media organization giving them bad press then they don't care.

    Why would they? More people equals more clicks equals more money so unless you are actively harming that why would they stop you? I'd like to talk to anyone who thinks they are doing this for people about this bridge I have for sale.

    It is so weird to worry about this tiny 10,000 per year when the leading cause of death is heart disease and various cancers (100,000+ per year), both caused by metabolic syndrome. You heard me right: you're too fat! Which just reflects the lack of self control in the average US citizen. This lack of self control is a good thing if you're a corporation that profits off of it. Bad if you have any empathy for your neighbors though.

    If only fat people got cancer and had heat attacks then we would have figured it out sooner. It might make some more likely or worse but it's not the cause. The fact is you're going to die of cancer unless something else kills you first, like those clogged arteries.

    So removing something from sale means you can't buy it? Glad we cleared that up.

  15. And the rest of Apple gear is STILL Best In Class.

    What, the two to three year old fixed designs they sell? The same "pro" laptops that are locked down and only have one or two ports? Best in class? Fuck off, just stop. I don't care if you like apple and think they are the best thing to ever happen to computers but they are just not.

  16. I'm sure they would kill for it but that's part of the rampant must have iphoneism that you claim to deny exists. They are made in the same chinese factories by the same chinese workers with the same mass produced parts, they cost about the same to make as any similar featured phones but they put a massive mark up because they can and that the power the apple logo commands these days which has basically nothing to do with the actual quality of their goods. Fair enough from a business perspective but it doesnt mean they are any better. 20 years ago you might have had a point but apple are a shadow of their former selves hiding in bling. Nonexpandable, nonfixable, nonupgradable mass produced crap just like the rest but it pretends to be better.

    It is harder to organize dissent when everything you do is tracked and recorded. Not saying it won't happen, but it's a lot harder to organize a protest now than it was in the 1980's.

    You do realize that this is fake, right? And even if it were real the United States has federal laws against engaging in corruption overseas, even when it's legal in the country where the corruption occurs. It's called the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and it specifically mentions bribing a foreign official among the list of punishable offenses.

    if you're dumb enough to fall for that you almost deserve to be scammed.

    I keep reading sentiments like this (without "almost") on Slashdot and elsewhere. Why do dumb people deserve to suffer? Are less intelligent people fair game for anyone smart enough to trick them? Are the physically weak deserving of being beaten up and robbed? What is the difference?

    Because failure makes us stronger? Overcome adversity and all that. If your hypothetical weak man accepted the offer of a fight from a stronger man (which is essentially what's happening here, people aren't being robbed, they are being asked for money) then yes, he deserves the shit kicked out of him.

  25. If you think Apple hardware and software is better overall, then you just aren't paying attention.

    Apple isn't perfect; they make stuff just as cheaply and cut all the same corners but they spend lots of time and effort on making it pretty so people think it's better and they ramp the price up.

    And younger fandroids have the EXACT same "problem" with "gotta have the new shiny". It is just highlighted and taken to extremes with apple. You don't see midnight release events, days long queues at samsung or lg etc shops even when they try for it. It's just the rampant consumerism that is the hallmark of this vacuous "Me First" generation intersects nicely with the apple fanboy market.
