  1. Re: The Republicans want to make everyone work on The Case Against a Universal Basic Income (vox.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    In business and pretty much everything in life, the only true failure is to stop trying.

  2. Re:She seem like a commie... on Theresa May Reshuffles Cabinet, Warns Amazon and Google of Power Shift (arstechnica.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Meanwhile, democratic government comes under regular scrutiny - if you're not efficient, you're voted out.

    Not sure if you truly believe this or you are trolling...

    But, the psychologists have nipples

  4. So no first person shooters, how does it do with other game genres?

  5. You can't get any financial aid for those classes when English is your primary language for some reason.

  6. Re:Authoritarians will always rule. on Free State Project Reaches Goal of 20,000 Signups (freestateproject.org) · · Score: 1

    The left only says that when they don't disagree with you.

    Would you argue that if a man decides he doesn't want to pay for a child he helped conceive he shouldn't be forced to? This is why it isn't a simple question. If it is ok to absolve the woman involved of all responsibility then it follows that it must also be ok to absolve the man as well.

  8. Re: This is why we need givernment-controlled.,, on Six Missing HDDs Contain Health Information of Nearly a Million Patients (corporate-ir.net) · · Score: 1

    The difference between a company losing your information and the government losing it is very simple. You can sue the company and the government will enforce the ruling should you win. If you attempt to sue the government not only can it decline to accept the suit in the first place but it can also choose how or even if it will enforce the ruling should you win.

  9. Re:This model excludes tacit conspiracies on Math Says Conspiracies Are Prone To Unravel (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Actually if a pharm company had come up with a cure then changed the numbers on the trials to show it was an expensive failure not many other researchers would attempt that particular cure.

  10. Re: I have a simpler method ... on Math Says Conspiracies Are Prone To Unravel (bbc.com) · · Score: 2

    You realize that Israel annexed those lands from countries that attacked them? So yes at its root it is as simple as Israel defending itself.

  11. Re:Yeah, I got one on Why Do Americans Work So Much? · · Score: 2

    Nah, it would all be "its".

  12. Re:Anything Is Possible . . . on Spotting And Culling Terrorist Groups On Social Media: Pipe Dream, or Possibility? (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Caitlyn is that you?

  13. Re:De Beers is going to be pissed on A New Technique For Creating Diamonds Discovered · · Score: 2

    Quit being so PC, they're blood diamonds. They are great because even though you can't see the blood spilled you can easily imagine it, thereby giving the diamond a rosy glint in your mind's eye. And as we all know red roses means love so, voila! Blood diamonds are the most romantic.

  14. Re:Gets worse near the end of the article on The Story of the CEO Paying Everyone $70k Gets Complicated · · Score: 1

    It was 1997, more than likely 30 people ran scripts to sign themselves up 300 times each. Not much else to do on the web back then. Other than wait for pics to download.

  15. Re:India vs. the Marshall Islands on Arkansas Has a Growing Population of "Climate Change Refugees" · · Score: 1

    Old age.

  16. So are you ok with putting someone in jail or forcing them to pay for not filling out a census form? Of course it would be abused to pay for it, however jailing or fining people for not filling it out is a far worse thing for the government to do. Personally I would prefer it not being mandatory.

  17. Pay for it. Seems far more fair than possibly jailing or fining someone for not filling it out.

  18. Re:Unconvincing about qualitative differences on Emerging Technologies and the Future of Humanity (sagepub.com) · · Score: 1

    Something as simple as inexpensive interplanetary transportation that is practical would be a major game changer. No need to wait for FTL for that.

  19. Re:High correlation between nerotypical and slacke on Huge Survey Shows Correlation Between Autistic Traits and STEM Jobs (cam.ac.uk) · · Score: 1

    Another way of looking at it is "anecdotal evidence" is something that looks like evidence but may or may not be actual evidence.

  20. Re:drones on How the FBI Can Detain, Render and Threaten Without Risk (nytimes.com) · · Score: 0

    Well you got that partially correct, he does dictate. He rarely negotiates with Republicans who on several occasions made attempts to negotiate with him.

  21. Re:OMG, if we let people say whatever they want on National Coalition Calls for Campus Censorship of "Offensive" Speech (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    Most universities are government entities. So while they are not expected to be as free to use as a public street they can NOT refuse to allow a speaker because they don't like what that speaker will say.

  22. You and I as individuals have the right to not respect each other. If I should choose to call you names I am not denying your rights as you have the right to ignore me. What no one has the right to do is to use the power of the government to silence someone for being offensive.

  23. The Nazi's were left wing, they used social justice issues to gain and hold power. What you and many others do not understand is this: Left and Right are on a circle not a line. That means if you go far enough Left or Right you will meet, usually around totalitarianism or something similar. It may even be more accurate to use a sphere rather than a circle as there tends to be different values for Left and Right, however we will use circle since that is easier for most people to understand.

  24. Hm, drugs, cigarettes, and glue, sounds like a party. I could use the cell phone to invite people and if you don't know what the hacksaw blades are for you might want to decline the invitation.

  25. A truck driver is not a miner, they are a truck driver regardless of where they drive that truck. A miner is someone who uses tools to mine ore. This really isn't that difficult.
