    Eh?

    Why does that not make me feel even slightly safe?

    Because you were brought up by an ignorant and largely anti science society and media and were taught this from a young age. It's not your fault.

    It is his fault, wilful ignorance is always your own damn fault.

  3. Re:Trump HATES science! on A Federal Ban On Making Lethal Viruses Is Lifted (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Whatever this is must be bad because OMG TRUMP won't let anybody do any science anymore. That's a settled fact because Slashdot comments said so (oh and he's a RUSSIAN SPY TOO!)

    So obviously this isn't science, it's uh.. capitalism... and is therefore not science.

    Sounds like you're claiming someone has this opinion. Go ahead and give the link. Otherwise... stop playing with dolls, presumably you're a grown-up?

    Chernobyl could not explode because it was constructed with heavy lids on top of the reactors, which would be strong enough to contain any explosion if any should ever occur.

    Jesus. Stop it, it's embarrassing. You have no fucking clue.

    I think I saw a tweet once to the effect of "If Trump cured cancer, Trump Haters would back cancer".

    And you believed it, because you're an intellectual coward who refuses to face actual arguments and would rather tackle pathetic strawmen.

    I'm talking about behavior patterns of intelligent and successful individuals, and adopting a dead platform is not one of those patterns.

    lol. What a pile of bollocks to come out with.

    A battery that slows your phone down as it ages. Nice.

  10. Never saw someone use the term 'space nutter' who wasn't a complete twat. I imagine you're no exception.

  11. The edgy neckbeard manchildren like it, so it'll stay.

    You're wasting your time. You have to let the moron witness the consequences, after which they will claim to never have held this opinion at all.

    If you supported a level playing field, then facebook and twitter would also get classified as monopolies/utilities

    Uh, no.

    Why the fuck, pray tell, would that be?

  14. Yep. They're seeking to reduce those costs, and now a court has slapped them down because they're a taxi company whether they fucking like it or not. The world keeps turning and Uber can suck it the fuck up.

  15. Re:Strange ideas on EU's Top Court Rules That Uber Is a Transportation Company (axios.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    This notion that government is always bad is in stark denial of reality.

    When all you have is a libertarian hammer, every problem looks like a government nail.

    Now we see why Britain is pulling out of the EU.

    A bunch of dickheads were convinced it would make all the brown people go away?

    This is EU government against a US company. Jingoism and xenophobia are just popping up, coupled with a dash of revenge because VW got caught. Nothing more than that. If Uber were a French or German company, they would have had carte blanche to do what they felt like.

    lol. You should have just said "I know absolutely fuck all about how the world works". At least that would have been accurate.

    Yeah. All this evil government regulation is why you can choose from a dozen or more ISPs almost everywhere in Europe. You get to choose... the only one that operates in your fucking town. Well done you.

    The same evil government regulation has made calling between nations in Europe cost next to fuck all whereas it used to cost a small fortune. Boo, government.

    Libertarians. Boring one-note fuckers.

    Agree. Limited panspermia e.g. Earth exchanging rocks with Mars, sure. I bet some Earth biota made it to Mars. Might even still be there.

    But interstellar/intergalactic panspermia? Doubt it very much. And doubt very much that it's required as an explanation for life's origin.

    The rule of thumb on slashdot appears to be:

    Do I like this?

    If the answer is yes, it is true. It's real.

    If the answer is no, then it is false. It isn't real.

    So the christian ones. Plenty of them. They don't like evolution, so it isn't real. Libertarian types who don't like feeling guilty about flying or running AC all summer - they don't like the idea of climate change. So that's bullshit too.
