  1. Re:the ultimate code language on Emoji Are Showing Up in Court Cases Exponentially, and Courts Aren't Prepared (theverge.com) · · Score: 2

    I can't wait for the supreme court case over whether it's obscene to put a ":P" emoji next to a poop emoji.

    Can't wait to see "Two Girls, One Emoji".

  2. When I was a kid learning to read (and perhaps needing glasses), I used to read that as "MORNING TRAFFIC". I observed a while and couldn't see any point to it and finally asked an adult.

  3. could it be?? Is the world slowly returning to hieroglyphs??

    Ha! My first thought.

    Lots of statements that someone "on the continent" wouldn't care for.

    Hah! Best retort today.

  8. "I’ve tried to watch them with her, but 90% of those story lines are, again, about broken serial relationships and people who can’t manage to stay happy"

    Yeah. Action soaps. Meh.

  9. Re:That's the future of humanity in space on NASA's Mars Rover Opportunity Concludes a 15-Year Mission (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    If you mean chasing down a walking alien, okay, you won.

    That's why I keep coming back to /. Everyone is so gracious in defeat :)

    Yeah, the 737 has all the comfort and amenities of an shuttle bus.

  11. Re:Not a monopole on Scientists Discover a New Kind of Magnet (ieee.org) · · Score: 1

    Ditto. I was hoping they were going to be able to shoehorn "singlet-based magnet" into a monopole. Oh, well, back to the ring.

    Because all that'll happen is a repeat of the current issues here.

    Food for thought: What brought us to our current issues has resulted in us exploring and/or living in almost every ecological niche on the planet. What if "solving the issues" destroys the emotional motivations that entice humans to explore?

    Yeah, right. I knew you were a coder.

    Well he is wrong about one thing, you are not a idiot. You are a god damn moron.

    No, you're snark is in the wrong direction. It's moron, then imbecile, then the lowest is idiot. Cretin.

    +1 funny from Rudy Giuliani:

    @RudyGiuliani

    Twitter allowed someone to invade my text with a disgusting anti-President message. The same thing-period no space-occurred later and it didn’t happen. Don’t tell me they are not committed cardcarrying anti-Trumpers. Time Magazine also may fit that description. FAIRNESS PLEASE

    Nice.

  17. ...a semi-obscure British band from the 60s...

    Oh come on now, The Beatles weren't *that* obscure. Had a few hits.

  18. We need funny robots. Interest in space exploration would sky-rocket!

  19. Yeah, great sight picture, I too had thought of a Rickles type or other insult comics.

    "That's not a hockey puck, you shmuck! That's your dinner, you hockey puck!"

  20. Thank you for pointing out that it was a joke. It appeared to be lame so it was easier for the casual browser to think it was another repetitive racist rant. It would be better if the guideline provided by the AC above were followed: "not being a racist and being actually funny would be better?" Or even being a racist might be fine: funny is funny, and all should be able to take a joke every now and again.

    Any good cracker jokes out there?

  21. ...Comedians are frustrated idealists, and in that capacity are the most depressing people that you will ever meet.

    +1 insightful. I like many comedians, but have often thought "damn, this person would be hard to live with".

  22. +1 :)

    There is a cheaper, healthier and easier answer to this question but fat ass Americans won't hear it: Vegetarianism...Even more reason to push for vegetarianism over renewable energy sources.

    Agreed. A properly marinated and roasted vegetarian is cheaper and better for the environment.

    Damn. I've been expecting this kind of thing. One thing experience shows is that once a political strategy or tactic is found to be successful, it *will* be used by the opposition.

    Rule by Emotion vs. Rule by Logic. I have a gut feeling that somewhere in the middle is the proper mix.
