  1. Re: Of course on Jack In the Box CEO Says 'It Just Makes Sense' To Replace Workers With Robots (grubstreet.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Inheriting millions is NOT "earning" anything... shuffling stocks to make more money is not "working" or "earning" anything.

    Tax wealth (not just income) at 90% above 5 Million....

  2. "...sensors are indicating bullshit levels completely off the scale..."

    Hehehe, did you see the tax bill the nazipublicans just passed? I doubt the whole "basic income" will happen in ours or our children's lifetimes

    No kidding, people are NOT thinking this stuff through.

    People without jobs have no money to spend...

    That is...ridiculous

    What the F are they smoking?

    There is no right to have people buy your products...

    So glad my daughter doesn't really care that much for Disney movies and shows

  9. Or they'll just D/L it. Garage sales can be great for DVDs too, especially from families where the kids have all grown up and moved away :)

    Harder to find valuable collectibles there anymore, but sometimes you get lucky. AMazing how much you can turn around an old box of Pokemon Cards if the "right ones" are in there....

  10. Hopefully vandals will destroy/damage these bots relentlessly

  11. Re:Boycott Disney on Disney Makes Deal for 21st Century Fox, Reshaping Entertainment Landscape (nytimes.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Used DVDs/Blu-rays are a good deal and the media corps get NOTHING from the resales...

  12. Re:But if the box says "no transfers"... on Disney Sues Redbox, Hoping To Block Digital Movie Sales (marketwatch.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    " purchase is a contract, mind you."

    So if you steal/shoplift the disk, there is no "agreement".... ;)

    Makes me glad my daughter doesn't care for most Disney stuff....

  14. "this is not an amount that would make much of an impact on Google's coffers."

    Which is why jail time for the board and the CEO and CIO is better than fines. Fines only hurt the people who actually work for a living, the board and the shareholders who make these decisions don't pay those costs... they just lay off more employees and/or cut more benefits. Time to stop letting incorporation shield these greedmongers from the consequences of their actions or in-actions...

    What the hell are they doing on my roof?

  17. Agreed. But we have a country where hard work has nothing to do with wealth and health care is viewed as a privilege rather than a right.

    Frankly, America is doomed

    Roofs of buildings, have the pokes appear just past the edge of the building over an alley. Handles Darwinism and keeps them away from normal people....

  19. Exactly. What people do to themselves I don't care about, it's when they start affecting the rest of us that it becomes a problem.

    America especially is an insanely "addictive" culture, but the afflicted need to recognize their problem and seek help

    Good point, those were the first two that came to mind, swap out humor with "flavor" ;)

    I'd laugh at a sale phenomenon called "9-11", wouldn't take part, just like I don't with Black Friday.

    Huge crowds of greedy consumers without dignity or senses of common sense or courtesy, all trying to grab the same "Only 10 per store!" so-called-"super-buy!" where people will gladly trample their fellow human beings to death for a "sale"? No thank you

    ... the letter "u" is sad that it will be used so much less now that it can properly be removed from words such as labor and humor among many others....

  24. Sorry, I'll take the line of faith on the reviewer until proven otherwise, especially since another user found what may be the review in question and it's incredibly mild by miles

  25. They're suing over THAT?

    Good god, imagine what they'd do if someone told a "You mama so..."-joke aimed at them...
