  1. Re:Enough with Diversity on Ellen Pao Launches Advocacy Group To Improve Diversity In The Tech Industry (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    In the US, there is a push to get men into nursing. Nursing (may) involve(s) a lot of physical labor, and having men that can move 300+ pound patients is an unfortunate necessity.

  2. He didn't assume it. He was asking if the phrase meant the opposite in UK English as it does in US English. If so, he would then have concluded that the author of the summary (or article) was British.

    The plague doesn't avoid doctors, you idiot.

  4. Humanity matters exactly as much as any single human. i.e. not at all.

  5. Re: company serves customers on What Happened to Google Maps? (justinobeirne.com) · · Score: 2

    What kind of idiot uses Google Maps for navigation, when they could be using Waze, by the same company, instead? Waze is designed for navigation, and it does a way better job than GM.

  6. Re:Child abuse on Language Creation Society Says Klingon Language Isn't Covered By Copyright · · Score: 1

    The Bible also never mentions homosexuality, which isn't surprising, as the idea probably didn't exist at the time. What is mentioned is the (homo-)sexual act of 2 men lying together as a man and a women do. This is, in context, taken to mean some kind of penetrative act (anal) by one man with another. It says nothing about the sexual attraction of either participant.

  7. Re:The Downward Spiral: on City Installs Traffic Lights In Sidewalks For Smartphone Users (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If you protect stupid people from themselves, you hurt everyone else.

  8. Re:Hooray for Norway! on Anders Behring Breivik, Norway Murderer, Wins Human Rights Case · · Score: 0

    The most human action in such a scenario is capital punishment. Unfortunately, shits like you have ceased to be "human", and instead take better care of the killers than their victims' surviving family.

  9. Re:Android or iOS on Google's Android N OS Will Support Pressure-Sensitive Screens (theverge.com) · · Score: 0

    It would be a good idea to shove a fork up your nose. Just keep going. Stop when you can't push any further.

  10. Re:Emojis? on Google Releases Android N Developer Preview 2 · · Score: 1

    You really don't get out much, do you?

    Every graphical OS includes system fonts.

  11. Until there is a single EU tax authority, your analogy is nonsensical.

    Best and worst imply a subjective judgement. It is you who is reading a morality-based judgement into it.

  13. Re:ROTFL @ server OS == Windows on UbuntuBSD Is Looking To Become An Official Ubuntu Flavor (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    Windows has had MAC since Windows NT debuted. That no one uses it doesn't change facts.

    Have you ever been to Minnesota? They don't have hot water.

    All those languages have a textual form. "Text" does not mean "Latin Alphabet".

    Stop being an idiot in public.

    He was fucking himself. I'd guess it was for fun.

  17. You seem to have an issue with statistics and English. You probably went to Public School in NC.

  18. Re:Unconstitutional on PayPal Pulls North Carolina Plan After Transgender Bathroom Law (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    That position makes no sense. How can PayPal disregard a law that allows behavior? Refusing to engage in a permissible, but not required, behavior is not a sign of protest. The point of their position is that they are protesting the law by literally taking their business elsewhere.

  19. Re:Good bye Martin Shkreli on Refrigerator-Sized Machine Can Print Pills on Demand (dailymail.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Presumption of innocence, right?

    That concept is applied (in theory), by the legal system, when prosecuting alleged criminals. It is not used by ordinary people deciding whether to chance taking some poison just because they have a tummy ache.

    Your use of the phrase in this discussion informs me that you are a naive idiot or a shill. Either way, please trial every medicine that comes your way.

  20. Re:Not so much about morality on Oklahoma Video Vigilante Uses Drone To Wage War Against Prostitutes and Johns (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    You seem to be making the argument that because bad things happen in relation to X, we must forbid X, even though there's nothing wrong with X itself. People like you should be raped and left to die.

    When the demand is illegal, the supply will be illegal. This is something so obvious that even you should be able to comprehend it.

  22. Re:Not so much about morality on Oklahoma Video Vigilante Uses Drone To Wage War Against Prostitutes and Johns (bbc.com) · · Score: 2

    That's because prostitution is illegal in too many places. This is no different than the violent crime spawned by the War on Drugs. You seem to have cause and effect confused; just as the morality police want you to.

  23. That only works if you're White and your victim is Black.

    You do know that the two planes which crashed into the WTC were within a couple miles of 2 airports, one of which is international, as well as a few dozen miles away from another. Right? A larger no-fly zone would not have been meaningless.
