people need to remind the government who is in charge. No, I am not advocating violence.
Power, and politics, grow from the barrel of a gun. Now PC liberal types will get all offended at this, but it does not change the fact that it's an absolute truth. Of course a whole bunch of hippy types will point to Ghandi and his "non violent" ways. Remind me what happened to Ghandi again? And his wife. And his son? So in the end, who won? Violence is the ONLY way to change things. It's nature's way. You don't let the other alpha male on your territory, you drive him off through force, or you kill him.
If people were smarter then you could convince them. But if people were smarter they wouldn't need politicians in the first place. Leaders are for herd-beasts, and herd beasts need violence to drive them to change direction, or in some cases even to start moving. Go write an essay to convince a bunch of cows on how necessary it is to move to the other field. What do you think will happen? Now get a stick and go hit a few and see how quick you'll convince them.
I don't consider myself a violent person, nor do I condone unnecessary violence. I am, however, a realist. And I've reached an age where I understand that there is such a thing as necessary violence. Ask Feinstein. I'm sure she would have no problem having her goons commit violent acts towards you to get you out of her way. What do you think "law enforcement" IS?
Oh I've no objection to this - more power to him. A fool and his money are soon parted, after all. But I won't hold my breath for any earth-shattering discovery.
Magic. When the comets are in the right position, magic happens. Mumble mumble something about hydrogen and spectral lines. But the real truth is: I want a free telescope.
As a doctor I could suggest washing your hands with soap and water instead of virus and water. The former is the approved method whereas the latter is a little to new and usually frowned upon.
Well that's one of the problems with neutrality, isn't it? Of course it's becoming more and more clear what Sweden means by "neutral". We want NATO protection, but don't want to pay to support it or commit anything to it... I never realized that nations could go on welfare too.
a new clause has reportedly been added to require the companies to say how much money they make in so-called "tax havens."
Proving once again that politicians have zero understanding about how a "tax haven" actually works. I can't really declare income on money that doesn't belong to me anymore...
Yup, harvesting data is what it's all about. I'm sure the "website" you'll be redirected to will be about as useless and generic as they are today: Your computer just crashed with code 0x000c84a - you need to reboot your machine. But thanks for giving us your cell phone info!
Free product. No advertising. Where are they getting their money? Sorry but I don't believe that whatsapp operates out of the kindness of Zuckerberg's heart. I'm willing to believe someone is lying. After all how liable can he be for a "product" you paid nothing for and clicked through a EULA for.
"more secure" than what? I'm glad people will feel better with end-to-end encryption. Of course the "end" of the encryption is the whats-app server, not the other party. That's a different "end-to-end". Otherwise how is Facebook/Whatsapp supposed to mine your data?
Minor assumption here, we have to know where the aliens are. Lasers are kind of directional and you also need to know when the Earth will transit in front of the sun relative to their perspective. If we knew so much about the aliens it's likely they would also know about us. Still, I trust to the vast interstellar distances to keep us "safe". FTL travel belongs in sci fi.

"Authorized" operation. Authorized.

It's called Netflix.

An alternate name for the bill could be the Burr-Fenstein Fucking Waste of Public Time And Money act.
According to Dodd, the box office would be more healthy to the tune of $1.5 billion if piracy could be brought under control.
And if Hollywood hired ME to make movies instead of this DiCaprio fellow, I'd be richer by quite a few million too.
If you run fast enough you might still catch the point, it's way over there somewhere ----> .
They are not, but whom else could they turn to?

Since when is Sweden a member of NATO?

But this one is straight from med school. From Dr. O., may you rest in peace. When anyone shows "initiative":
"There's nothing worse than a fool with initiative"
Everyone hated rotating with him. I actually had a nice time :)

I believe I said that 15 years ago, those very words. My copyright attorney will be in touch.
Let the US shoot itself in the foot. The rest of the world will encrypt.
Funny, I haven't been billed yet.

Yeah but sometimes the pet's physical characteristics are pretty awesome too.

I'm pretty sure someone breaking the law is not an excuse for you to also break the law.

After all, the BBC ought to know all about spreading lies and disinformation.
