Drunk driving/texting while driving/distracted driving will become ailments of the past. Lose your license? Afraid of going home from happy hour "buzzed"? Just buy an autonomous car. A lot less accidents too -- huge plus for society.
Sadly that's never going to happen, at least not legally. I can't imagine a legislature or insurance company that would allow people to operate an automated vehicle while inebriated or not in full control of their faculties. You're going to need to be able to take over at any time in case of emergencies or software failures, which means you'll have to keep a constant eye on your surroundings as well.
Not to say it won't happen anyway, but it won't be legal.
I have to wonder how people such as yourself manage to paddle coherent sentences past the idot-drool as you hunch over your keyboard.
Women are a gender. Feminism is an ideology. Remember the difference.
One can be completely opposed to the warped ideology of feminism while loving and supporting women, indeed the only way to love and support women is to oppose feminism as it seeks to turn them into perpetual victims and undermines their personal growth.
As for right wing, marxist zealots identify anyone that doesn't agree with their dualistic cult as "right wing", which includes an awful lot of distinctly non conservative groups.
Corporate dystopias are much more fun than real life socialist dystopias which don't have exclusive rights for anyone. Although if Administration steps in, nobody wins.
Do they? I know there's a premium on popup ads and interstitial pages, but I've never met anyone who said "wow, what an amazing ad jumping around and flashing lights at me, let's click on that instead of checking out the content I came for". Maybe some people pay more for them but I wouldn't call it a well advised move.
The most interesting part of the article for me is the idea of real time bidding - maybe web adverts will finally start paying as well as print adverts.
That actually adds to the cool factor, for my money. Speaking of which I keep throwing money at the screen and I still don't have one of those butterflies, more tech details here.
1) If women perceive your "kind and friendly" behavior as "creepy," then you are not behaving "kind and friendly." You are, in fact, behaving like a "creep."
Or she's a neurotic hypersensitive feminist. How's that for equality of outcome.
It's not possible to sexually objectify someone. Even objects intended for sex must be made to look like sexually attractive people/body parts in order to successfully achieve their goal. You can have a very impersonal relationship with someone else but objectification is nonsense.
Yes, I submitted an article about how Wikipedia canned a gaggle of feminist editors from Wikipedia for spewing crap on gender related entries and it never saw the light of day, yet this agitprop makes the grade? Okay, the day will come and indeed is coming when this clear bigotry will reflect very badly indeed on slashdot editors. I know I'd certainly never hire one of them based on their past performance.
Men tend to slip back to pseudo-savagery if women aren't around in a workplace for a while, and when a woman comes in, they tend do remain savage
No, they really don't. They may make jokes and talk frankly about women, but guess what, women do the same thing about men. Are you calling women savages now?
I'd agree with this to a certain extent but I'd be cautious about making everything voluntary, some foundational skills in math, geography, history, language etc should be a requirement. Also life economics like mortgages, pension plans, investments and savings. The entire property bubble was an organised ram raid by the banks on middle class savings, students need to know how that happened so they don't fall for it or any other bubble again. And while we're at it the legal ramifications of things like marriage and parenthood should be dealt with right next to sex ed.
Ah now, how sad would it be if his mum was condemning him too. While arguments can be made for and against unconditional love, more often than not it's helped people get back on their feet after they do really stupid things. It's not as though he's got a shortage of critics.
How did you get the subdomain to point to a home dynamic IP? Mine changes every day or so, do you ping the pi or have the pi ping a webserver and update it or something?
I think that might have been more relevant back in the 17th through 19th centuries, even for most of the 20th, when there were plenty of jobs for low or limited skill workers. Nowadays western countries are having to try very hard to maximize the numbers going into education because without a degree you won't get much work as a result of hugely increased automation that shows no signs of stopping. For better or for worse, that's just how it is.
In this new environment a massive influx of people without much in the way of qualification becomes a burden moreso than a positive addition, even if they're willing to work their asses off, as most of them are. Meanwhile all they're actually doing is competing for the crap jobs with the most disadvantaged in whatever country and driving down salaries for those that need them the most. I may have missed something here, but I don't think so.
If the US really wanted to address this problem it would legalise most drugs besides the nastiest ones (added bonus of prison populations falling through the floor and people not being stigmatised for life, leading to greater earning potential, plus taxes on drugs) and provide incentives for its neighbours to the south to deal with corruption within their own governments. I've become firmly convinced that 90% of the causes for impoverishment on a national level are plain old graft. Wealth isn't being shared as it is in developed countries.
You posit? You're an ignorant embarrassment, and that embarrassment is now indelibly engraved on the internet for all time, connected to your Romancing Alaska... thing... And just think, you were so confident about teh muh soggy knees and how all teh wimminz would be lining up for a taste when you were done beating your chest like a jackass.
My work here is done. Not that I had to do much work, you did all the heavy lifting really.
That looks to be fact and logic free. You've not touched either.
That was a question, as indicated by the question mark. Remarkable how grammar works really. Except of course the actual facts cited were supported by links to research in a subsequent comment you unsalvageable pleb.
Come on, you bitter little misogynist
Yes, facts are misogynistic. Those damn woman hating facts.
I want you to stop, put down the bottle, and take a good hard look at what you're trying to excrete here. Nobody, but nobody denies that men get treated brutally by the family courts, except yourself.

So, tl;dr you're a thundering moron.
I'll take this crap all day every day over one more SJW/feminist public service announcement.

Killing isn't bad when it's mosquitoes. You've supped your last on me you little bloodsucking bastards!
Some nutter uses a syringe (!) to inject your eyeballs with fish guts in his garage.
Awesome if it's got practical uses though.
Oh yes, and as for the feminist conspiracy, it's not as though it's a big secret: https://eyebeam.org/events/art...
That's only one area of many where feminists try to rewrite wikipedia en masse to reflect their ideology.
You mean this submission with the link in the usual place?

Most women get it and ignore the feminists
Exactly, the only way the summary makes any sense to me is if you replace the word "woman" with "feminist".
Men tend to slip back to pseudo-savagery if women aren't around in a workplace for a while, and when a woman comes in, they tend do remain savage
No, they really don't. They may make jokes and talk frankly about women, but guess what, women do the same thing about men. Are you calling women savages now?
VAT in Ireland is 23%, I'm not sure I'd call that low.

Unless we manage to harness the mechanism of spatial expansion (and presumably reduction), that is.

Anyway yeah. My two cents.
It could well have been the FBI or NSA running the black market. Nice little money maker and fines handed out to criminals as a salutory lesson.
Apply the same logic to writing and 90% of the fantasy fiction genre owes Tolkien's estate some big bucks.
