And people judge us accordingly - we're are judged as being "better" for having those things. Even when you know the person leased or is up to his ass in debt for that luxury car, our primitive brains still consider him "better". And you do too. It's subconscious and there's not a damn thing we can do about it other than do our best to override such nonsense feeling with rational thoughts.
No one of substance considers you better for having those things.
Sure, if everything else is equal, and I can comfortably write a check for a newer, more reliable vehicle, I would do so....
but if I would not penalize my future self with a car payment I could not justify so people would like me.
This morning, under the influence of the House of Maxwell, I had the the most rewarding experience, courtesy of your post.
The fun began with the heuristics of judgement as suggested by your charity link...next thing you know I am researching dry-nose vs. wet-nose primates.
Watch out! The SJWs will be along in a minute to mod you down!
Is it even as much as mildly insulting when a coward gets modded down? I have a frame of reference...
One time, when I was a bit younger, I took all the candy off a tray of Halloween goodies. I presume the next few kids might have said, "WTF? What sorry motherfocker was here right before me?"
And yet, full-bellied, I slept the untroubled sleep of the anonymous coward.
This discovery should certainly be taken into account when attempting to solve the puzzle of human evolution.
Archaeology, like almost no other earth science study, has a tendency to flip convention on its head with a single discovery.
To be fair, millions of year-old corroboration is difficult to obtain, but let's keep it in perspective. It seems likely there were multiple dead ends during the evolutionary pressures selecting derivatives of early humanoids.
The USA has constitutional prohibitions against this kind of activity. So the NSA and friends have to make a show about complying with the law. British prohibitions against this are much weaker. So the government just comes clean about it.
I'm not certain which society is easier to live with. One that lies to you and the judiciary branch or one that just does as it pleases but admits it.
Fair enough, but candidly, I just assume any searches I perform without cloaking are accessible to any number of interested parties.
Another fine piece of legislation co-authored by Dianne Feinstein. What the hell is wrong with California that they have kept this cunt in office for over 20 years?
You do realize your less than clever use of cunt undermines your otherwise stellar argument, don't you faggot??
A phone is probably at least as secure as the average person's desktop. All three major phone operating systems offer a walled garden and by default run apps in a heavily restricted sandbox. Most users never break out of that. We don't see vast phone based botnets, suggesting that those operating systems compare quite well to the most common desktop OS, Windows.
I've read the arguments for and against. I think the phone is still uniquely a security issue because of the ability it provides interested parties to track your location.
Also: We are probably not too many years away from widespread use of Stingray-like devices outside of law enforcement.
She said to cut back on the internet-sourced advice, and advised keeping the healthy skepticism that everything is safe... especially in the face of contrarian evidence.
Sounds like a money grab. It seems unlikely the Russians would risk peacetime exposure of such an act of sabotage, only to risk the full measure of the American retaliation process, unless the two nations were at war.
Scouting mission? Sure. Possibly.
But Putin's grandstanding is likely more about restoring key pieces of the old Soviet Empire and regaining a foothold in the Middle East, not in confronting the Americans head on.
The tanks are holding 3 days worth of US oil consumption at their peak storage value of 60 million barrels, so no, the amount there is not a a large part of the oil that is produced by the process.
Fracking may or may not be of negative environmental consequence, but it is the reinjection of production water into formations through SWD (salt water disposal) wells that is being blamed for the uptick in small earthquakes.
The floating top tanks are surrounded by earthen dams and the pipelines can be shut down almost instantly, so a disaster from earthquakes is pretty much FUD> don't panic.
They've been saying that since the first news reports. Then it hit 33 degree celsius el Nino year coastal water temps and bam...Patricia was a big old five.
My hat is off to modern day weather forecasting.
I can view Doppler from the pocket cellie in a field far enough from town they can't hear you scream, but even now, predicting the path of a hurricane is still probabilistic.

It was clearly not a long-contemplated ethical conundrum for the bigger share of them.
In other news, if your retirement portfolio still contains Volkswagen stock, you might be a slow learner.
tldr: It appears the 2005 explanation for the formation of our little solar system isn't completely dead;
it merely requires an additional gas giant or some other tweaking to explain the existence of the four inner rocky worlds, including earth.
It's still fascinating how advanced we are as a life form to begin to question the origin of everything.

Evidently, those two or three cheating software designers had a buddy over at the Porsche complex.

It's why I love the site.

In the US, aircraft begin with an N, while other nations also have unique letter identifiers.
It has been suggested that adding letter combinations will be necessary to keep up with the demand.
I'm not finding a ton of solace in the literary inaccuracy immanent in Hollywood script crafting.
Nice. How novel is that? As ugly as a cold sore is, how preferential it might be to eminent death...
The right to free speech is universal, and especially the most offensive of it must be protected if it is to survive at all.
Ideas and opinions are not your enemy, even, and especially, if you disagree with them.
At times like this, I am always reminded of the Sardaukar.
Their great strength grew from the adverse conditions from which their DNA was culled.

well, there was really no point in the government continuing to pretend it wasn't happening.
This legislation just codifies it.

Thank you caring, though.
This requires me to go see my doctor every so often, because she isn't keen to give prescriptions without checkups.
Hell, no... neither will mine. That office visit fee is seemingly habit-forming.
Physicians, by and large, would be for more drugs regulated by prescription.
Yes, the phone in your pocket is also a computer. No, it is not as secure as your desktop or laptop.
Never trade security for convenience.
Scouting mission? Sure. Possibly.
But Putin's grandstanding is likely more about restoring key pieces of the old Soviet Empire and regaining a foothold in the Middle East, not in confronting the Americans head on.
Maybe the US and Europe should look into developing a program like that.
