Depends on what is being called a crime. In this case, they use the term "crime" as one would expect from some two-bit fascist commissar in a half-assed Junta. That is, the term "crime" is more easily translatable to "something that embarrassed the shit out of me, uncovered some bad doings, probably hampered my plans, and will require a lot of work on my part to get the sheep to ignore it."
This is what happens when politics and religion ride in the same cart. The dictator gets to set what is morally "right and wrong", and declare every violation of the law as a "sin".
There is quite a difference between science that is not fully understood and things that are just completely made up like astrology.
However you manage to refute yourself by admitting that astrology is essentially random. I feel I have nothing else to contribute to this conversation.
As far as finding a random viewpoint a useful is concerned. I have little knowledge of psychology, so I cannot comment on this. But it seems that there are better ways of going about this then looking up at the stars and making guesses.
The effect of the precession of the equinoxes is well known by astrologers. Mr. Nye shows his complete ignorance of astrology by thinking that this is news to any of us. Another example of a biased point of view completely lacking in understanding of the subject.
The tropical zodiac is based not on the constellations themselves but on the signs that surround the Earth, 360 degrees subdivided 30 degrees per sign, starting at 0 degrees at the Spring Equinox. In Babylonian times that happened to coincide with the constellation of Aries. For the sake of consistency we have kept the same sign names, but no astrologer thinks that signs and constellations are the same thing.
Perhaps Mr. Nye should consider reading the first chapter of a good astrology book before he pretends to know what he's talking about.
Lol. Again, reality on our side here. How does the position of Earth's rotation have any affect on my personality? I will concede that a person that strongly believe's astrology and has it hammered into their head enough might start to act like their profile, but come on, in what world does any of this make sense? Fantasy magical prediction land sounds great, but seriously, you seem like a fairly intelligent person, listen to what you are saying.
Look ye to the east tomorrow in the morning, for I predict, with my mighty powers, that the Sun will appear to rise!
Seriously, you're as bad as the creationists, thinking that if you can't understand possible correspondences they must be magic.
The sun rising in the east is a scientific fact. Claiming to know what personality someone is based on their astrological sign is a claim of magic, and a lousy one at that. Don't tell me "just because you don't understand it... blah blah", because that is absolute bullshit. Give me one possible theory of how that could ever make sense.
Only spending negative 12 hours a week not working would be a problem.
FTFY
Math fail on my part. Subtracted the smaller number from the bigger one without checking which was which. Perhaps the negative value causes some wraparound bug in reality that allows him to be able to survive without rest.
The corporation has no loyalty to its employees. You can all be replaced. What YOU need to start doing, is to think of the corporation as being replaceable. Shop around, find a better deal, and take it for a couple years, then shop around again, find a better deal, and take it. You owe them nothing, they need you, not the other way around.
The way I say it, be loyal to people, not to corporations. The corporation will fire you in an instant, but people are real.
I've stuck around at companies longer than I needed to, just so my coworkers wouldn't have so much trouble picking up after me. I don't regret it.
You don't owe your boss anything if you work for an abusive company. If he claims he is powerless to keep the company from overworking you, then he is at worst lying and at best useless as a boss.
No, you are just a liar and a charlatan. If you are using your "magic powers" to bilk money out of clueless people, eventually you will get thrown in jail with Rose Marks.
With current technology, it would probably be fairly trivial to fire a laser back at any painters in order to blind them and get them to give up. I could see this defensive measure being installed on commercial airliners as a way to stop them.
Not sure that is the best example. Where I grew (in USA) up one could legally drive by age 14 – car or tractor – on road or off – and those things are more dangerous than lasers.
Not to an airplane.
I mean, I suppose they could drive it on to a runway...

I'm British.
The border staff are a national embarrassment, and are wildly, wildly incompetent.
Welcome to the rest of the world. I suspect this is true everywhere.
1. Crimes are not harmless.

We don't need to be neutral. We have reality on our side.
Also, how do your respond to this?
How could he claim to be able to predict the future and not be claiming to have magic powers?

Or you are poor in America, working 3 part-time minimum jobs 60+h a week just to pay for food and housing with nothing left over at end of the week.

Sounds like the EU parliament is in fact in a state of superposition and their cats are better than your cats.
Sounds like a job for the cat hacker.
death threat-making? It's a threat making death?
No, it is death making a threat against someone.
Presumably it is a rather serious threat, I would not ignore him.
Remember, pillage before you burn. Unless you are in a hurry.
I hope Jackie Chan was involved.
Japan is in the Far East. Just like Guam and all those other islands. Did you even high school?
Sure, but if you are standing in Hawaii and getting attacked by Japan, it is probably coming from the west.
or they think "axe" is an awesome body spray.
Either way, they are wrong
Depending on the time of the month some young Americans were just confused :D
i will assume you mean during a full moon...
Majority of Young American Adults Think a Comma is Nike's "Swoosh" Symbol.
To keep it on topic... "Majority of Young American Adults Think a Comet is the thing you use instead of a period."
1) Own a Cessna.
2) Aim a laser at it in the safety of your hangar.
3) ???
4) Profit!!!
And then be arrested for doing something that should be legal, but isn't.
It should be legal to fire lasers at planes and endanger the people aboard? Or did you mean at your own plane while it is on the ground?
With current technology, it would probably be fairly trivial to fire a laser back at any painters in order to blind them and get them to give up. I could see this defensive measure being installed on commercial airliners as a way to stop them.
This people are stupid enough to believe in chemtrail conspiricy theories; and, yes, some of them are stupid enough to shoot lasers at them.
Not sure that is the best example. Where I grew (in USA) up one could legally drive by age 14 – car or tractor – on road or off – and those things are more dangerous than lasers.

What do you mean? We TOTALLY FOILED Germany's surprise attack on Pearl Harbor.
Unfortunately, we were looking West for the next attack, when we should have had at least a ship or two with radar pointed eastward.
Japan is to the west of Hawaii.
reddit.... intelligence...
I see the problem with this logic.
