If they'd legalize drugs the bottom would fall out of the market and all the drug-funded gangs and their wars would fade away. (Or look for something else illegal to sell.)
Tax dope as high as you can without creating a black market, and use the revenue for prevention and rehab programs. And use all the money that's currently going to the DEA and prison-industrial complex for something useful.
I haven't had that problem, with youtube or a great number of other sites, for quite a while. For two reasons:
1) disallow scripting by default, stops a lot of autoplay.
2) sometime in the last couple of years Firefox quit trying to load every tab when you reload a saved session. For each window, it only loads the "active" tab, and leaves the other tabbed pages blank unless/until you select their tab.
The second also stopped the internet choke you used to get when you restarted a session and it tried to load several hundred pages at the same time. Hurray for progress!
Plus, 'Sea World' is pretty much a life term in Supermax, except with more gawkers, for something of the size (not well proportioned to live in a swimming pool) and intelligence (relatively high) of a killer whale.
And the gawkers have less intelligence than their usual diet...
Nobody cares enough about Africa to listen in on them.
Even if you're right, it could be part of a longer-term strategy to insinuate themselves everywhere they can, with the prospect of future spread once established.
Also... surely you're not suggesting that the NSF isn't listening in on Africa.
I'd say the USA is the greatest enemy of the USA. If the madness don't stop soon, the 1% will have sucked the 99% so dry the USA will be a dessicated husk.
Maybe China is planning ahead for when that 1% discard that husk and move on to Africa.
No, it did not say that other species practiced infanticide. It said that infanticide was much more detrimental to us (and what had evolved into us) due to the extended period of helplessness during infancy. Infanticide was much too expensive for us than it is for lions and such.
The more demanding infant seems like all the more reason for an interloping male to kill it. The argument does not seem convincing, to me.
What is says is that monogamy hasn't evolved in other species because they don't practice infanticide.
What I was thinking when I posted was of all the nature documentaries where a male adopts a new female into his "harem" and promptly kills her young. A few weeks ago I saw a somewhat unnerving film of a zebra doing that, picking up the foal by the neck with his teeth, and bashing him down onto the ground. I believe lots of other species do it too, and I've seen films of several.
A centrally planned economy? I'm surprised the libertardians didn't climb all over you.
Notice that I said "If we want". I know there is strong disagreement about such things on Slashdot, and I didn't want that issue to distract from the points I was trying to make.

Looks like I left a 'not' out of that sentence.
Is Hockeimer Jr implying that he's OK with gaming the system if it's a national security case?

Sounds like a way of having to get one of those bothersome warrants.

Or "Sea Orks".

Orca are carnivores, their natural prey includes seals - which are of comparable size and, for all I know, tastiness to a human.
No, seals definitely taste better.
Goldman Sachs didn't charge him with anything the state charged him.
The state is merely an instrument of our financial-pharmaceutical-defense-burgerflippial complex.
How long before some geeky boffin demonstrates that you can use this for computations?
and this type of communication using fungus throught the soil has been known for years.
But it's really slow.
I hope they don't get it! All the facts I need to know is in the BIBLE!
Driven by the tectonic collision of Europe with Africa, the high alpine bedrock is rising about one millimeter each year.
And now they're over six meters high!
Lots of genies coming out of that bottle. And we probably still don't know 1% of it.

...China taking away jobs from the US.
Dammit, spying on the world is OUR job! They took uuur juuuuubs!
Not really, 'cause we were going to outsource them anyway.

You go ahead and pray. I'll fap. I'm sure my efforts will be just as effective.
But if you survive you'll want a nap, and others will get a head start on the looting.
What's with the scare quotes?
Because its a euphemism for "put your head between your knees and kiss your ass goodbye".
If you want to make a great sculpture, all you have to do is find a rock and carve away everything that isn't part of the sculpture.
Surely if you're going to steal something, you'd do it on company time.
so long as we aren't responsible for it?

why it hasn't evolved in lots of other species.
