Well you can bet that if Norway was in a perpetual state of war with Russia like S.Korea is with N.Korea they wouldn't allow exceptions either. There's a reason why they don't allow people to opt out for conscription like that there. I get the point you're trying to make, but things are fundamentally different when the nearest country is the one you've been at war with for 50+ years.
Because you can't recharge an electric car? Without defining your argument it's hard to put any stock in your comment. Come back when you put more thought into it.
Sure you can. But there are far fewer spots where you can recharge them, and then there's the cases where assholes just leave their cars for a few hours and clog up the spots for other people. Then there's the lack of places you can charge within the vehicles range, and it kinds goes on from there.
And not the first, or last. The absolute amount of bullshit that's gone on in S.Korea in the last decade should be a warning to people of just how bad things can get. The entire case that triggered this has pretty much everything from bribery to handing off classified information, cronyism at levels that would make the most corrupt politician drool and add in a dose of literally following a cult and implementing those ideas on an unwilling population? Oh yeah, this isn't even close to being over yet. Haven't even touched on the whole "possession of erotica can get you sent to jail" stuff, which was one of those great cultist ideas.
Move to Barrie it's nice here and only a 1 hour commute. Toronto is a shit hole full of cunts anyways.
If I had to work in Toronto like I did nearly a decade ago I would. Last sentence is spot on as well, luckily I only need to drive in once every 3-4 months to see a neurologist for my spine. Gotta love that free healthcare. It's only a 2-hr trip from the southwestern part of the province, so there is that.
So let's get this straight. Your point is true when you lived in an apt, which is specifically built for people who enter the country to work there. It was true at the absolute elite places of education, it was true at those government-sponsored wifi locations which require specific access in rich areas. And it was true in the hotel that's built to cater to outsiders(again the rich elite). All while ignoring or burying your head in the sand that this doesn't apply to any of you, because you're the catered elite within the country. And the article doesn't apply to you, it applies to those who aren't the elite inside the country. Which has very nice, filtered and email which is spied upon by the government.
This is the same reason I can get unfiltered internet at our companies compound in the UAE. But not with a home connection if I lived there and was a citizen. Unless I too was an elite, and could pay for it. Strange how that works isn't it?
So yeah, this isn't a meme. You're part of the elite there, and didn't realize it.
Oh boy. Reminds me of the elitists in Toronto talking about their great apartments that cost $1500/mo and they have 350sqft. What's the difference between one in Toronto and Woodstock? $750/mo and 800sqft. And you still have to commute 2hrs every morning.
Let's see how long it takes for the government to start shutting down access to those that are accessing the "wrong" type of information.
There is mandatory filtering, censorship, snooping, and strict access control to websites already. Outside of N.Korea, it's one of the most censored and controlled systems around far outstripping China.
PC's aren't really flat though. Pre-built sales are flat, but the build-your-own market? Booming, especially in developing markets. And especially for gaming, and that has all to do with the massively underpowered consoles out there that can be beat into the dirt by a competitively priced PC. This last generation of consoles has done more to increase PC gaming penetration since the late 90's boom did for the internet. That in itself is nothing but good in my books. And the reason why pre-built are flat? Well it's been covered enough. Round that out that there really isn't a mhz/ghz race at the moment and ye olde PC's from 2006 are still working perfectly fine for email/web/streaming?
You're spot on though with the mobile stuff. Hell I'm still using a 5 year old android smart phone because does everything I need it to. I'll likely only replace it when one of two things happen: It dies, or it can no longer connect cell sites.
Going by your language it's pretty obvious that you don't live in a country that has both capitalist and socialist structures. If you need to see both, look at Canada. If you simply need to see the former look at the US. If you need to see just the latter, try Sweden.
Trump is just another crony capitalist. He's just screwed enough people over that there is a large opposition to him from various groups
And I'll bet you can name any of these groups. He's such a crony capitalist, that he's lining up to go to Davos right? Just like Justin Trudeau was...until the brewing public backlash at home. Gee...no wait, he's refusing to do anything with the crony capitalist gravy train, but China is sure there.
Yes. Right now the US has a huge crony capitalism problem, that's been built upon by decades of democrats and republicans. And they're fighting tooth and fucking nail to stop Trump anyway they can from breaking their gravy train.
What's that? Oh, you're part of the left/progressive/etc these days. And instead of being introspective and trying to figure out why you're on such a decline. You'd rather resort to name calling, labels, claim everyone is racists/sexists/misogynists/using insults. Keep digging, by all means. Then when you're wondering "gee where the fuck did our power, and base go" you can go back and read this comment.
Reality. What have you been snorting where you don't realize this has been happening? You can be fined for it. That environmentalists push for it. That the favorite blame game is "Monsanto". That the brainchild was the environmentalism of the 70's and 80's, and is such a bad problem that provinces and states now actively encourage planting it. Want to bury your head in the sand? Feel free. The reality is far different, and is probably one of the best examples of environmentalism running amok to the point where it actively damages the environment. Hell if you dig hard through provincial records for example here in Ontario from the 1980's you can find environmental groups actively pushing for the use of broad-spectrum herbicides in order to control particular plant species and stating that the destruction and loss of native species outweighs the bad in controlling others.
Specifically, you will need to show that the bulk of support for such initiatives comes from environmentalists. Good luck!
Sure, let's look at Ontario, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, etc. There's a few hundred pages for you to read through of course. But you'll find plenty of environmentalists pushing for these noxious weed laws, especially in municipal and county minutes. I'm sure someone will throw a hissyfit over the name, unfortunately for them they simply link back to the actual articles. If I remember right it was also environmentalists in New Zealand that pushed their noxious weed act and aggressive control methods. Exactly the same type of garbage that they've pushed here dynamite vs hammer.
It's not Monsanto. But keep believing it is, if it makes you feel better. Up next: DDT is causing the deaths of eagles by egg shell thinning! Wait why did their population increase? No wait, it's killing robins -- oops no supporting theory. Population remained stable or increased. No wait it's pelicans...oh wait...oil spill. It's causing cancer in humans! Wait, no supporting evidence in multiple clinical studies.
This has far more to do with government "environmental" policies which have been pushed by environmentalists and people who want that flawless green lawn then anything else. Things like "noxious weed acts" which destroy plants that support bumblebee populations. Pushed by environmentalists in big cities to get rid of flowering plants which cause allergies. That in turn allowed herbicide spraying to kill or keep them under control. That leads to widespread destruction of flowering areas for the sake of green grass/reduce air allergens. Need another example? Monarch butterflies. Mass population decline, what's the strong correlation? Same noxious weed acts which banned/required destruction of milkweed. Most places have rescinded that. But it wasn't more then a year or two ago in most of north america you could be fined for having it growing on your property because it was considered a weed. Gee what's started to happen? The population has coming back.
If Clinton had won, you would be fighting in Trump's revolutionary army and decrying the continued Democratic tyranny. Which ok, would amount to you trolling on the Internet some more, so no, we would be having this discussion, and you'd be doing the same things as you are now.
Funny. Because that sure didn't happen when Obama won, but the left were right there back when Bush Jr., was elected for a second term screaming that they should violently oppose him. And gee, look again...it's the left doing exactly the same thing. But oh boy, let's look at Obama's decisions shall we? A head of the DoJ that refuses to enforce immigration law, and is now in the running to defend criminal illegals. Very progressive, much law and order!
Couldn't Trump find a non-racist attorney general candidate? Couldn't Trump find a candidate for secretary of state who knew what a war crime was? Couldn't Trump find a way to not create more conflicts of interest?
You mean the joke? Did you actually read/watch what he said. I guess not, that's what happens when you let the media lie to you. Yep, he's so racist he's prosecuted KKK members. Now, let's move on to that "war crime" bit. Smart move. You know why? Because if he didn't answer the way he did, he would have let every nut with an axe to grind go after the government. Starting right at the top with the previous Obama administration which decided drone strikes in sovereign countries that they weren't at war with was a good idea. And let's move onto the "conflicts of interest" you mean like donating all the money he gets from his hotel chain to the US treasury types of conflict of interest?
Maybe you should go listen to buzzfeed a bit more. I hear they might jump on a story after 6mo of it being fished around. I suggest writing about how Obama's wife is really a man and he's the one who takes it up the ass. It was also recorded and the Saudi's have compromising evidence of it.
So brick and mortar stores do this ALL THE TIME.... they never cared. But Amazon does it. BAM!
This is also illegal in Canada and stores get fined for it as well up here. Maybe you're in the US, where consumer protections end where corporate rights start. Doesn't work that way up here though. It's the same reason why when you buy something on Steam in Canada, it's considered an owned product not a license.
I'm surprised they acted as fast as they did. Government bureaucracy isn't known for speed or efficiency.
It's because Obama's term is coming to an end. So that means, loads of bullshit and lots of monkey wrenches thrown into Trumps new selections because Clinton didn't win. People can whine over it all they want, but if Clinton had won we wouldn't even be having this discussion right now. And this entire thing would still be sitting in limbo.
1. But how many fatal car accidents are caused by hardware failure? Surely it's a tiny percentage? Regardless, I don't see any reason to single out cabs for hardware inspections. Either everyone should be forced to get them or no one should.
Dig back through the news, you'll see the stories of "cabs with wood covering holes in floors" or people becoming sick because of fumes in the cab because of exhaust leaks or brake failures. Those cases are the reasons why 6mo safety inspections exist. What would happen is either the person or company would buy absolute rust buckets and use them to ferry people around. Round that out that those vehicles have very high mileage, and get driven very hard. Especially in city environments where poor roads heavily contribute to the degradation of critical vehicle components(tie-rods/ball joints/struts/etc). Trucks depending on where you live require 6mo or 12mo inspections, or inspections on every tire change(unless emergency). Cabs aren't the only ones that require this, so are buses(public and private charter like greyhound), cop cars, fire trucks, ambulances. Private charter vehicles, and so on.
If everyone you know agrees with you, you need to get out more.
That's the very definition of living in a bubble, or being an ivory tower elitist. Take your pick, but people on the left is currently stuck there and are more likely to turn around and socially reject people who are of any other political choice. Hell I'm sure someone will say "look at all that shit you spout on about, blahblahblah." Or something, yet I've got exactly one person on my "foe" list, and they were absolutely batshit insane. Even ol'serviscope or animojo aren't on there, and I argue against them all the time.
There's a reason in most western countries that police officers/constables who work on sex-related crimes especially for those that are under the age of 16 has special guidelines they're required to follow. That includes pre and post-operation psychological testing, and can't work in that division longer then 6mo in a 3-4 year period. And almost all places have mandatory counseling that you're required to take afterwards that in itself is usually 6mo-1yr.

Funny enough if we apply this standard of evidence(that buzzfeed used), Pizzagate goes from the realm of possibility into the realm of probability.
