Who would have thunk it? Hydrogen, a highly combustible element, and Oxygen, which will itself freely burn, combine to together form WATER...
Not POSSIBLE say physicists!
Hey, look kids, another programmer saying the language he developed is going to solve all the problems of that other bad language. In his language, he's not ever going to let anyone write bad code, because it's HIS language, and HE'S obviously qualified, way more qualified than that Stroustrup guy or whatever his name is, who's been writing and maintaining a language for decades!
That's such a lame argument.
HTML is an open format, but you can't display websites from the 1990s anymore can you?
Anything written for IE in 2004 won't display on a modern browser, so kind of takes the steam out of your argument.
The thing about "open" is, often it leads to proliferation of multiple standards and useless competition which in the ends leads to obsolescence and a thousand dead ends, whereas "closed" often results in stability and maturity of product.
This thing that's pathetic about all of this is that Flash, despite it's flaws, actually worked quite well in a LOT of applications, it's still superior to HTML5 in many ways as regards vector animation and efficiency in video delivery, but no one dares to consider that elephant in the room. I think after Steve Jobs' open letter, everyone who wanted to appear cool and in the know jumped on the "Flash Sucks" bandwagon. So now, Flash is dead, and you're cool. Congrats. Meanwhile HTML5 hasn't really picked up the slack. WebRTC never really went anywhere, and in my opinion, JavaScript still sucks as a programming language (TypeScript makes it at least palatable to a disciplined and experienced programmer), and the proliferation of 1000 JS frameworks doesn't really make my heart sing praises for "freedom of choice" and how wonderful it is. It's actually friggin' chaos.
I totally agree. Waste of resources, waste of sysadmin time, and a bandaid on the problem at best. It's a kind of mass hysteria that's taking hold of people, and this is just one symptom of it. People think they're "not secure" when they see something like that, and it just adds to their sense of insecurity when the real problem isn't with the website, it's with themselves and their own relationships. Laugh at it. Scoff at it. Be "rational." Sure, but it's an irrational response to a problem that's bigger than most want to admit or even have the capacity to understand.
Look in your pants. Is there a penis there? Then you're a man, and if there's no penis, it means you're a woman, and you have naturally inherited biologic tendencies toward certain behavior. Culture molds and shapes itself on many environmental factors, not the least of which is biology. Anyone who can't see that is doomed to disappointment, and the "gender theorists" are basically completely in total rebellion to their own biological reality. They're not that much different to the materialists of the 19th and 20th centuries who thought that it was man's right to completely dominate and control nature, overcome it and subdue it, and destroy it in the process.
These people are in for some serious reality checks. While they may have temporary power in the media right now, it won't last and they're cutting their own throats with all their insane "diversity" agenda.
Women and men are different in their basic reactions to life. Those that think otherwise are really basically in denial of their own nature.
The pill isn't foolproof either, neither are condoms. Basically, don't have sex with the wrong person at the wrong time in the wrong place unless you're ready to raise a child. Pretty simple.
It' s been practiced for thousands of years. I do it. Just press at the base of the perineum just before ejaculation and voila. Orgasm with no ejaculation.
Well, there's known knowns, and known unknowns, and then there's unknown unknowns, and then there known unknown knowns, and then there's unknown knowned knowns which somewhat resemble knowned about to be known unknowedly known quite possibly unknowns. The thing is, they've been doing it for years already.
Jesus Fucking Christ, they're already doing that, just look up in the skies. Notice those "new clouds" they're putting in the text books? They've been geoengineering for over a decade now. Acting like it's some new thing is so people don't realize they're already doing it...
OK, then can someone's brilliant scientific, objective, and ever so rational mind explain just what the fuck people are seeing next to the sun? Google second sun and start reading about it. It can be seen next to the sun at certain times of the year near the horizon. I saw it myself, with my own eyes, about 3 years ago, and it's only gotten bigger since then. The reason this is even in the media right now is because NASA is scared shitless about what's just around the corner, and they're trying to make it look like they don't know, but "they're investigating the matter." Get your shit together, people. This is even in the Bible: "Wormwood." Donald Trump, China, Russia, isn't going to fucking matter soon since this thing is going to be all the planet is worried about in the very near future.
Wikipedia is a joke. So is that idea that any organization can function in a "de-centralized, democratic fashion" without every single member of the "democracy" holding the same standards and values as every other person in the group. It's an ideal, but basically, there will always be people willing to spend more time and energy on a given project than others, and they will always emerge as the "leadership class." The problem there is that if those individuals are assholes. And the problem with this planet is that "the masses are asses." So too is the idea of saying that "anybody can edit Wikipedia." Yeah, as long as your concepts and ideas that you're trying to share are in line with the "democracy," otherwise it's just like any other situation where ideas may have truth to them, but if they're unpopular, they don't get any traction and you're back to square one. Wikipedia is simply the repository for what the mass consciousness deems to be true, but it's relationship to truth varies depending on the level of consciousness of the maintainers of that particular subject.
But what's the point then? I like your backstory, but where's the love, man? So often people think that violence is the only option. Basically that's why higher technology doesn't exist yet on this planet, because the natives are too stupid and backwards to think that if you have something of awesome power, it could be used to bless others with it, rather than exploit and destroy. Not that I'm calling you stupid and backwards, but there's always a better way, and I would venture to guess on planets that have higher technology, war and violence as a means of settling conflict has long since fallen into disrepute.

So, can someone explain how this is different from Flash? I'm genuinely curoius.

Hold it long enough and there's no ejaculate. There's plenty of info out there about how to do it properly.
Meh, it's worked for me for over 8 years, and I have kids.

No joke, like, "Oh, we never really noticed those clouds before..." gimme a friggin break
You're living for someone other than yourself... wow, what a concept.

That's a good point, vicious internal factions. Good reason to kill them all and exploit them, since they're not all so innocent after all.
Umm... Greed is bad...Oh wait, no, "greed is good." Sorry forgot about that one.
