It's not a pre-existing condition which makes it dangerous. It's that a young healthy person's immune system is strong enough that when it kicks in to fight the flu, the immune system itself does them in.
If you're unemployed/low-income or a kid that pirates just because they like to sample anything and everything under the sun, I don't have a problem with that. I was a game-collecting-maniac kid, right up into my 20s. And as soon as I had steady paying work it stopped being the rare exceptional game that got my money and started being all of them. Even now I'm unemployed, broke, and still not pirating because I just don't need anything that badly or have the urge to. Modern Warfare 2 can wait until I have a few bucks.
A few thousand people pirated our game after it was released. Did we lose any money? No. It pissed me off, but I didn't really lose anything because the people who rush out and pirate your game the second the crack is available are not the type of people who buy your game. There's the odd few that will pay for a game after they've pirated it (I used to do that when I was a kid), so they're not a loss either.
The app store price point is low enough that the people who would have bought the app/game otherwise... actually DO buy the game. We're not dealing in 70 dollar console/PC games.
If it's another user waving the false flag of DMCA for one of their own YouTube submissions, can't they just be told to bugger off using the following section from the terms of service?: You also hereby waive any moral rights you may have in your User Submissions and grant each user of the YouTube Website a non-exclusive license to access your User Submissions through the Website, and to use, reproduce, distribute, display and perform such User Submissions as permitted through the functionality of the Website and under these Terms of Service.
Between that and fair use for critique/parody, you'd think that the DMCA could only be justified when the user has uploaded copyrighted content that didn't belong to the complainant in the first place.
You might have faith you're going to pass your next exam. Other people study, and have confidence based on their evaluation of the knowledge they have gained vs. the knowledge they need to have acquired.
The Wright brothers applied observation and experimentation to flight. No faith required.

Ran? I don't see mention of the specifics on the UK news site in the GP, but the last time I read about the case at the time it happened, the eyewitnesses were making statements that indicated he had not been running, and was shot twice in the back of the head by men by men who did not announce themselves, before falling to the ground and being shot in the head again repeatedly - contrary to what the police claimed at the time.
"where another researcher concludes that only "boys" are stupid enough to go into a field that's globally-fungible, where entry-level salaries are declining, and it's common to think that staying up all night for a company-paid pizza is a good deal.'"
Does the job pay your bills at an acceptable standard of living? Are you doing what you are good at? Are you having fun?
If the answers above are all yes, then who gives a fuck what some researcher thinks.
I never even played 40k. I just bought it because the original manuals had amazing art and a detailed story of the 40k universe that brought the concept to life. Of course the original hardcover manual also had a binding that fell apart in the time that it took to read it from cover to cover. (As anyone who owned it can testify) And the option was either to replace it or throw it in a binder until the softcover edition with all the interesting stuff gutted from it came out a few years later.
John Safran's Race Relations (2nd episode) had him not only in blackface but completely masquerading as a black person. People noticed he looked different, but everyone seemed to accept it because of what he was saying - transferring his outlook as a young jewish man and hip hop musician to the "black experience".
It was both humorous and insightful, and done with no malice whatsoever.
But, clearly, not reprehensible in the United States of America to campaign on a platform of your ethnicity as was evidenced in the last major presidential election?
No more than campaigning on a platform of religious belief.
The only reason war is acceptable is because we've put rules and laws in place that make the wholesale slaughter of "them" justifiable because it was done "humanely". Leaders want these rules because it allows them to expend citizens at no cost to themselves. Disregard the rules completely, and you have a war that no one wants.
I find it quite sad that addressing the ridiculous nature of religion is "trolling", but addressing the ridiculous nature of the 2012 apocalypse is not.
If they have faith in the capitalized God, the word subverted to mean the Christian god then of course they are open to ridicule.
If you want to be an agnostic deist, go right ahead. But if you have faith in the vile fabrication that the Christians, Jews, and Muslims worship as a god, then expect to be attacked. If your "faith" means supporting a religious construct that endorses genocide, rape, and slavery, but you "only pick out the parts of the bible we agree with" then what good IS that faith?
What vile level? They were using his own underhanded commentary style to show how reprehensible his actions are.
If Michelle Obama were going on TV every day and insinuating people were terrorists, liars, and rapists, using his type of commentary there'd probably have been a site for her as well.
Oh, I wasn't saying there was a motivation of atheism. Indications were that kids were taunted/shot based on what they were identified as...
Jocky guy, christian girl, nerdy guy... Exactly the same stereotypes everybody fits everybody else into. The shooters were just angry kids expressing their hate with no outward religious/atheist motivation.
OSX comes with those handy little Apple stickers in the package. Slap one on the target computer, and you've got yourself an "Apple branded computer". Boo-fucking-hoo Apple.
They assumed we would have the technology to date the pigments accurately by this time, but they didn't factor in religion holding us back technologically. Those cave men were so optimistic.

Er, wait. Were you talking about pre-existings causing a reaction to the vaccine, or complications from the flu itself?
It's not a pre-existing condition which makes it dangerous. It's that a young healthy person's immune system is strong enough that when it kicks in to fight the flu, the immune system itself does them in.

Now users can band together and sell off their "quota credits" to each other the way corporations do with carbon credits.
Lucifer is also known as the "Father of Lies".
Oddly enough, Genesis 2:17 has "God" telling the first lie.
Imagine a whole religion dedicated to worshiping the wrong deity because someone buggered the paperwork.

They're very crafty.

Headshot!

Oh, not that Epic. I feel so embarrassed. Does anyone else know how to get blood out of your Facebook profile?

The "laws of war".

Shouldn't that be the point?
I find it quite sad that addressing the ridiculous nature of religion is "trolling", but addressing the ridiculous nature of the 2012 apocalypse is not.
So is an entire country going to war, or letting the PATRIOT Act pass.

It's nothing more than fire insurance.
