like how assad and the rebels are teaming up against isis... wait, that's not it...
how the US UK and USSR teamed up to fight the nazis. there we go.
sure everyone hated stalin, like everyone HATED stalin. and they were probably pretty sure they'd have a problem with him somewhere down the road... but Hitler, fuck hitler.
interesting, you don't hear about big food poisoning cases because unless it's big it doesn't break the news, and those generally involve contamination in an industrial setting.
and you don't hear about food poisoning cases on the small scale because they're pretty common.
hells no, and i can probably count the number of cab rides i've taken in my life using my hands and feet.
i don't like them flaunting consumer protections, i don't like that whole period they were like, "oh insurance? what's that? and why can't our driver's personal insurance foot the fucking bill?" i don't like how their executives think the idea of mudslinging journalists that criticize them is a fun idea. i don't like how their idea of damage control is to try to bury, bury bury, until someone fucking dies
i don't like how their idea of fair competition is to spam their competitors with fake pickup requests i don't like how their fucking profit margin comes straight out of their contracter's pockets i don't like how their fucking car payment tie-in apparently is financially calamitous to their drivers
so, no, i don't drive a cab, i'm just not enamored of evil.
you're assuming that more people would fly if the scanners weren't there. that is not an assumption i think you should make.
i don't mind the scanners, and i fly just fine. knowing that they have confiscated weapons of all kinds, and the body scanners, and x-ray machines have contributed to that, makes me less worried about flying.
and in an ideal world, it would be
'millions for research not one red cent for defense'
... even the people that are against the damn scanners aren't making the claim that they contribute even minutely to cancer risk; and the tsa agent probably has a bigger gripe then the passengers on that count.
the second intifada, you want to talk about the kind of stuff that goes on when islam gets real crazy on you?
you're talking about people afraid to take a bus or go to market because they don't feel like dying that day. you're talking about a chilling effect. the airlines lost 30% traffic immediately following 9/11.
you extend that to every aspect of the US economy and see what happens. Soccer mom, afraid to shop, soccer mom, afraid to ride the buss, soccer mom afraid to go out to eat, soccer mom afraid to see a movie.
It means something to have an airline industry to come back to. And the downstream effects of lost tourism, business, etc.

america is both too optimistic and too cynical about the nature of the human condition.
We can accept that our politicians are only men, and in embracing this quality we anticipate that they will fail.
first of all, GWB's problem was never that he was an alcoholic. we've had a few good ones, and so have you.
secondly, palin was never close to power. That was a scare tactic by the democrats, and a example of poor decision-making by the mccain campaign that democrats could point to. The VP is a figurehead and a body. and that's it. they have almost as much political power as the queen.
also, trump, meh, there's always going to be a significant part of either party that will vote for anything "non-washington" and this is their time to shine.:) at least we didn't come close to a 200000 vote swing losing a third of our country.
for a bit there, i was seriously concerned you know. I love me a good Laphroaig.
i have more faith in the timidity of the american electorate.
he's the spoiler. also, as people drop out, they're support is going to get divvied up.
2012 perry, cain and gingrich all topped out at 28 percent... like consecutively. the outsider vote as one outsider candidate fell, they all hopped ship to another, and another.
when the realistic candidates, of which there are many, start dropping like flies, you'll see them getting a boost from the people that you know, object to having someone clearly insane with their finger on the button.
i'm foreseeing 1992 again. the fringes aren't electable, and that's what trump and sanders are, no electable.
if it's personal of that nature, you know outside the bounds of journalistic integrity, i think they already had stuff in place to remove their listing of it. They still recommend you contact the actual webmaster for obvious reasons, but they would remove anything that a responsible journalist wouldn't report.
i'd say with the picture thing, if you've waived your rights to the picture, explicitly or implicitly, those rights are no longer your own. Part of that is expedience too, photos taken of a crowd at a public event for example. I think the courts in the US have ruled that https://asmp.org/tutorials/fre... photojournalism is too hard if you have to worry about everybody.
Also, in public places you don't have a reasonable expectation of privacy... which is slightly sticky with upskirt photos, photos at swimming pools etc. still being grappled with by courts of various states.
who owns pictures has always been a sticky subject.
i have no issue if it's your own content you want removed. And you should already have all the tools necessary to do so, and if you don't, going after google to delist isn't the proper venue for that.
some of these are pretty relevant to future hiring/dating
claims that were thrown out of court, ruled fabrications, false rape charges etc. some are more innocuous.
say you wanted to chart the galaxies, with 100billion of those.. you'd still need something like 270000 years to get all of them right? without overlap?
i'm not saying it's not useful, but you've got random sources, firing... like super sporadically.
wouldn't it be like saying,
"yeah, we've got this new method of mapping the earth.
we'll read the geological signals put out by earthquakes to map the shape of the crust-mantle interface."
while interesting, i'd doubt the usefulness of it in getting a complete picture.
:) the issue is that none of it is libelous. And nobody is going after the article directly because they are very aware that there are numerous "freedom of the press" laws that would prevent them from getting anywhere.
so they're saying, we'll let you print it, but we'll let people bury it so far down that nobody will ever find it.
what's to prevent some unscrupulous competitor finding every article that lists a person's name in passing by a newspaper, and paying these random bystanders to have them request that google delist them?
Talk about chilling... "don't use names" because most likely nobody will be able to find your article in 3 years time.
i think part of the danger is that, you know, to get that awesome selfie, you've gotta put your back to the really cool/super dangerous thing.
at least in the wild-predator case, you're going from "creature that is aware that i'm there and may be able to defend itself" to "stalking successful" mode... voluntarily.
The first is a cake in a box. the second is a piece of cake, plated with a fork in it.

can't you download it for free? and just cancel?
upload may suck, but download is pretty fine for even the average citizen.
obviously,
born in a cab, live in a cab, now in a cab, die in a cab,
when i'm dead, i'll have my ashes scattered to the corners of the earth in cabs.
Cabs are love, cabs are life.

hell, even if they did do this, good
fuck uber.
you don't get international competitors to team up against a company unless that company is trying to fuck everyone and everything.
holy hell.
i don't often root for chinese anticompetitive behavior... but fuck uber.
and fuck uber for making me bedfellows with those assholes.
i think it's called having a working pair of eyes... and a rope in other parts of the world.

like, you know improv? the "article" is like the audience's prompt...
it's that impression you piece together from all the comments and what they're discussing.
but no, the "article" is a metaphor... or something.
missed you

no, the level of hatred i felt for you in that moment, was beyond the ken of normal, well-adjusted people.
now we're good, but then...
Sir, i think you've made me a worse person for what i felt toward you in that moment.
go die in a fire.
you deserve worse than anything i can think of.
get eaten alive by rats.
