I used to think this was flamebait, but they don't. Even when the doctor tells them "it's a girl/boy" they think "oh well maybe, she/he's not old enough to decide."
It's proof that Jesus has entered our universe and is coming to Earth to rapture his people. Unless you can prove this isn't true, to the same level as say, the fundamental theorem of Calculus, then it has to be true. Hallelujah praise Jesus.
It's funny how these Jesus freaks go from "can't prove a negative" to "my sky father will send you to Hades! Idiot!"
To these people, lack of evidence to the contrary is not only proof that their god exists, but also that he thinks and judges people exactly the same way that they do. But then there isn't enough evidence to support natural selection. This is why Christians are famous for holding double standards, and arguing from positions completely at odds with each-other.
So, because nobody has proven God doesn't exist, they conclude that he hates gays, Muslims, non-believers, wants you to vote Republican, etc etc etc... Perhaps that isn't the mental process of every christian, but judging by the propaganda I see coming from their temples and leaders, many if not most of them. Being based on their actual history and evidence you can actually observe, I doubt they will agree that to be true either.
Two plus two equals four isn't a fact, numbers themselves are defined by theories.
It's funny how believers always take any rational discussion of religion into a game of semantics, an argument about what "reality" is or if what we perceive and observe really is reality. All you can do is kick a rock and say "I refute it thus." Why it's harder to believe "in" a rock right in front of you that you can see feel and touch is than a man walking on water, or resurrecting week-long dead people, or returning to life after being disemboweled, I can't say.
Society should serve law-abiding citizens and mentally fit people. What people like the author here want, is to design a society that caters to psychopaths and the mentally ill. All you end up with is more psychopaths and mentally ill people, since society is designed for them (and not healthy-fit people) they will thrive and their population will grow.
PS: It's not the LULZsec that considers themselves "evil", because yes that would indicate a lack of Nihilism, but they don't identify as evil, we, the non Nihilists with values have dubbed them that. LULZsec does everything they do because they believe nothing matters and they just want to spend their life laughing.
So there is no contradiction because the Slashdot member you're rebutting isn't a nihilist and the people he's judging have absolutely no principals. It's probably even the reason the guy reporting snitched, he didn't have any values a la "honor among thieves".
Philosophically, it doesn't. But the reality of political science (if it's not business, it's politics) isn't rooted in Socratic wisdom or Aristotelian Logic.
A new car built by my company leaves somewhere traveling at 60 mph. The rear differential locks up. The car crashes and burns with everyone trapped inside. Now, should we initiate a recall? Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one.
You obviously live in a homogeneous society, either that or you have your head in the sand.
Here's some "radical thinking" for you. Different people from different parts of the wold have different traditions and cultures. OH MY GOSH!
Cardio is not meant to burn fat, it's meant to improve cardiovascular health. To burn fat you have to pump iron, build muscle. Like you said, cardio just isn't going to do it unless you spend 5 hours a day at it.
Anarobic exercise however will build your muscle mass, which will cause your body to burn more calories even when you're sleeping which can quickly add up. This is also why extreme diets are so horrible and cause people to balloon up after they quit their 2-6 month fast.
The deal was "free for proprietary use commercial users pay." It's really a very common form of licensing.
Anyway, it doesn't really matter what you "think" is a good/proper business plan, you didn't write the license. When you go to get a resource from somebody, a water-well or a web-page, you do so on THEIR terms, hence a license. That's life, sorry Mein Furher but you don't get to dictate your ethics and terms to everyone in the free world. It doesn't matter if the license was somewhat permissive to begin with.
You haven't seen a brick before have you.
If you think it's really that hard to conceal 30lbs of smell? Consider that semis with 1,000s of pounds of pot go through multiple checkpoints every day and more often than not the k9s don't even notice it. Maybe you can explain how human officers have a easier time smelling pot than trained k9s do.
Here's an experiment for you. Go to the grocery store, pick up a PLASTIC can of Folgers, and when you're at the checkout see if you can smell the coffee inside of the plastic "can". Just be sure it's one of those "cans" where the coffee is in a sealed bag, then know that bricks of "Mexican dirt weed" (or w/e) are sealed up much more thoroughly. After all, coffee usually has a stronger smell (although more pleasant imo) than pot does, especially if we're talking about brick weed.
I live 15 miles from the Mexican border, I heard all the Liberal rhetoric when I was in college from my Govt and English professors. But you know what? All I had to do was look around and notice that the MAJORITY of the people here have 12 kids, no job, and do nothing but sit around and watch soap operas (novellas), sell/snort cocaine and benzos (they get them from the state mental health office), have a habit of using homophobic slurs and curses at their husbands/children/public, and blaming all their "problems" (anytime someone refuses a handout) on the "gringo".
It's not any better at the college level as the colleges cater to these degenerate self-inflicted morons. Every time homework was assigned all the women would all at once exclaim "aaaaaaayeee siiiiiiiiir", and the college/professors would cave in because the campus first priority is to collect as much taxpayer money (pell grants) as they possibly can. In short, democrats and their "welfare for votes aka social justice" campaign has ruined every level of our society. Democrats know this, it's no wonder they want to hire H1Bs from a non welfare state (instead of an American Community College aka idiot factory) whenever it comes to a business they themselves are invested in.
Governor makes parodies of you.
And people on Slashdot were just talking about how much more free the US is than Russia. Looks like we can't even criticize our govt anymore.
No such thing as an "anonymous whistle-blower", we know this for the precise reason that Snowden blew the whistle. The only way that even would make sense is if you didn't know about the NSA. You need to pay more attention.
Except the US has done that, is in the process of doing it again,and seeing as how you and most others don't even care to know, will also likely continue to do it even more often in the future.
It very well could. The court decisions in America are just some guy making a decision and then bashing a hammer to make it so. Many asshole judges have made much worse decisions than upholding some bullshit agreement like this. Just like most decisions made by a Judge, the decision as to whether or not the "agreement" will be upheld will be made before the case ever even goes to trial. It seems like you still think there is some such thing as "Justice" in this world, when it really only exists in fairy stories.
I thought conservative libertarians were supposed to support the "free market". The idea that if your employer is ripping you off then "it's a free country" and you can work elsewhere. Then they turn around and support things like non competes which if measured in "freedom units" would be much more tyrannical than a minimum wage or anti discrimination laws.
And spare me the "if you don't like it don't sign the contract" line of bs. If people were able to unionize there might be some way we could fight back against this crap on our own. The fact is a reasonable person has no way of getting assurance from his fellow tradesmen that there will be an organized strike on such agreements, so he signs it knowing that if he doesn't, someone else will.
If you think workers should have to get an different MBA/Doctorate for every job they choose to work I hope you and your entire extended family die in a bus accident.

I'd bet money (if I had money) that the kid was the type to walk around and chat with his hands in his pockets. That would explain a-lot.

Also, man, what about the Nihilists in The Big Lebowski. They were no-good-doers and they were nihilists. So like, that's just your opinion, man.
Two words, "Chaotic Evil".
He wasn't using them as boogeymen, he was just stating the facts outlined in this article, and supplementing them with relevant info.
So you're saying trial lawyers did well in school, or are well connected, the creme de la creme and the summa cum laude-- so what?

The site was heavily ad / adware littered. What do you think all the porno adds and what not were for if not monetising the site?
