It costs money to breed chickens. A meat chicken is harvested after 2 months. Breeding can't happen before 6 months. So if you're living month-to-month, where does the extra 4 months of feed plus the lost revenue from the meat come from? Bolivian food-stamps? They don't exist.
That's cute. Look, I'm not saying that freedom of speech isn't a good thing, but when the Supreme Court decides to bundle it with freedom to bribe politicians, and nothing short of a constitutional amendment will change that, then maybe it's time to throw away the baby with the bathwater.
I would actually give up my freedom of speech if it meant the corporations had to as well.
Because my speech isn't doing much to help and theirs is doing plenty to fuck things up.
Well, then you've got the guys like Elon Musk who are so far over that they believe we're living in a simulation, which makes the developers the creator(s). And of course there's the possibility that the creators are themselves living in a simulation. My own pet theory is that our reality is God's polaroid selfie and that the big bang was the slowly developing exposure of just such an event.
People go along to get along. Many people with strong christian values are really atheists, just like many people with strong anti-gay sentiments are closeted homosexuals. They can't admit it because the time just hasn't yet come for that to be socially or politically expedient.
Right, the workaround was that replicators couldn't reproduce "Gold Pressed Latinum" which is a 23rd+ generation currency.
The greater obstacle is that, even before that, humans had to already have eliminated religion, wealth inequality, corruption, nationalism, racism, otherwise even the first step would be impossible, and the real fantasy is that even one of those things is achievable.
Heinlein had a grasp of human nature, Roddenberry not so much.

I always think of the 80's anti-apartheid song where nobody cool wants to play there. I-I-I-I don't want to play SolarCity-ay-ay,
If I can put up banner ads. Seriously I don't see how that thing is worth $20M. And yes I realize we're talking about AUD.
Every last person thinks China can go straight to hell.
They sound like likely Trump voters.
You mean zoos?
Are your facebook contacts 4th+ dimensional beings?
Believe it or not, the meanings of words change with time
Ok, so let's change it back to what it really means. Isn't everyone tired of these decimate discussions?
Trump's about as likely to pardon Snowden as to order a drone strike on him. So yeah, pretty likely.
the midst egregious being Ford pardoning Nixon
Was what Nixon did really so bad by today's standards? The NSA does worse things before breakfast.
From that map it strikes me that it correlates strongly with *naval* piracy as well.
This might be the record but just wait until ipv6

If you ask Bolivians, they'll tell you the first thing they need is transpotation infrastructure...
So what's your plan, give money to the government so 95% of it can be absorbed by corruption? No. Chickens is where it's at.
Thanks for helping me be a better person!
Evolution is a survival challenge. Think of it as "Naked and Afraid" but for genes.
I'm not sure I would want my gay brother to provide my son with "extra nurturing".

Huh? They have more dignity otherwise it wouldn't work. Or maybe it's body shame.
I didn't say all of them, I said many. As in more than 2.

So you lost all your data and didn't have a backup? It's happened to all of us and somehow, life goes on.
At least you didn't spend the past 10 years implementing, maintaining, and testing a foolproof backup system, because that sounds like a real drag.
I believe Putin already does, so maybe the point is moot.

Talk to anyone who has ever tried to do detailed photo manipulation on an iPad or phone.
And then have that person talk to anyone who has tried to use Gimp on Debian.
