In Canada, there's no law on the books governing abortions at all; it's a decision between a woman and her doctor.
That, alone, makes me wonder if I'd be happier living in Canada. If it wasn't for my liking warm days and sunshine in the spring and summer and mild weather in the fall and winter I'd be all over it.
This has got to be the most pants-on-head retarded nonsense I've heard yet. Is Australia vying for the title of 'most fucked up' with Florida or something?
It's because Jeff Bezos is richer and more successful overall than Trump knows he is, and he can't handle that fact. So he lashes out like a spoiled 5-year-old and throws temper tantrums. Not very 'Presidential' behaviour, wouldn't you agree?
Donald Trump is not a very intelligent man, not at all. He's got an average IQ at best. He (attempts to) make up for that by talking louder and being an accomplished bully, throwing his considerable weight around. People are modding you as 'funny', but the fact of the matter may well be that Trump really does think that somehow Amazon is not paying the USPS for shipping, instead of the reality: they're absorbing the cost themselves as an incentive to their customer base, which in the long run nets them more profit overall. Obviously it's an effective business strategy because look how successful they are. Also as several others have pointed out, Bezos owns the Washington Post, which truthfully criticizes Trump regularly, and we all know quite well that Trump throws a tantrum when anyone criticizes him.
The US Postal Service is mandated by the US Constitution. They provide a valuable and efficient service to *all* Americans in the US. Not just the profitable locations.
Great point, really. Otherwise we end up with the 'gentrification' of the mail service. Imagine this: neighborhoods full of poor minorities suddenly don't get mail service anymore because it's 'unprofitable', being forced to drive to some far-away facility to pick up what was mail service to their door (assuming they can even get there at all). Or worse, they have to pay some sort of 'delivery surcharge' because they're not on 'normal routes', putting more financial stress on people already living paycheck to paycheck. Is this really the America we want to create?
Or pull out your phone and take a picture of your screen. Stick a post-it note with date and time handwritten on the screen, if you really need proof of when it was taken.
Besides which all this doesn't federal law mandate that ISPs have to retain copies of all email sent and received for, what 18 months or something like that? If someone really had a legal reason to see it, they could get a court order demanding it anyway?
If there's something you don't want other people seeing, maybe you shouldn't use email of any kind for it.
Donald Trump acts like a spoiled-rotten narcissistic 5-year-old most of the time already, but you confront him with someone who is clearly and objectively richer, more successful, and a better overall businessman? He loses his shit and lashes out in a childlike temper-tantrum like this, which is going to cost you, the U.S. taxpayer, as a totally unnecessary 'audit' of the USPS is conducted. Meanwhile there are matters vitally important to the Nation as a whole that are being ignored in favor of Trumps' ego and vanity. Isn't enough enough already? Trump voters: what were you thinking!?
Do you think money appears out of thin air to pay for those exhorbitantly expensive hotel-casinos? Do you think someone donates billions of dollars out of the goodness of their hearts because they think that hotel-casinos do so much good for mankind? LOL no. The house always wins in the end. That's where their money comes from. For every one of these people you claim are 'professional gamblers' there are thousands, if not tens of thousands of idiots who are gambling away their rent money, retirement money, or their kids' college funds, absolutely sure that 'their luck is bound to turn around soon'. It's idiotic. Your defense of it starts to sound like a drug addict or a steroid abuser defending their addiction. Maybe you should go get some professional help.
Instead of finding ways to use the waste products of power plants that create harmful waste products, we should be finding ways to get rid of power plants of this type and replace them with power generation that doesn't create harmful waste products. Creating incentives and investing money in making these kinds of power generation facilities more relevant instead of less relevant is going in the wrong direction.
I don't have or want a smartphone, and I don't go home at night and stare at a computer screen until I go to bed like I imagine you do. Shove it up your ass.
Okay, I'll bite: Why would any intelligent person go to a casino, even if they're a billionaire and have money to burn? You know you eventually lose and that it's all a scam. The only people who 'win' at a casino are the ones who go there for the buffet, which is usually pretty much top-notch. Everyone else is a sucker, a fool who will soon be parted from their money. You MIGHT be able to make an argument for the ambiance of a casino setting, but if you're going to replace everything with machines, then where's the ambiance anymore? You may as well just stay home.
But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao You ain't gonna make it with anyone anyhow
Yes, yes, let the racists shoot their mouths off in public forums! "Call it evolution in action", I said; you really think mouth-breathers like them are going to get a chance to reproduce? LOL, no.
Then we know who they are, so we can watch them carefully, make sure all they're doing is talking. Then when they do something actionable, we'll be right there to get them arrested, tried, convicted, and jailed. "Call it evolution in action".
I think worrying about what they're talking about this week that will kill you will probably kill you faster than not even taking that click-bait, and just living as pleasant a life as you can.GO OUTSIDE. That'll probably mitigate all this bullshit they keep trotting out in any event.
Yes, unplug your computer. Then leave it that way, and instead of wasting your time, sitting on your ass staring at Facebook, or Instagram, or Twitter, or any of the other time-wasting garbage on the gods-be-damned Internet, go ride a bike, or take a walk, or do something outside instead. If everybody did that, we likely wouldn't have an obesity problem, a diabetes problem, lower rates of heart disease, and (hopefully) a higher overall IQ and fewer social problems.
Aside from sounding utterly and completely boring and pedestrian, it sounds like a complete waste of time for anyone who wanted to go to a casino in the first place. I mean, gambling is a waste of money to start with and you've got to be dumb or sick in the head to do it in the first place, but at least if you go to a casino there's the ambiance of the place, right? I obviously don't gamble but I'd think if it was reduced to just more or less a video arcade where you shovel money into a slot and push buttons, where's the fun in that? At that rate you may as well stay home and sit in front of your computer in your underwear and gamble away your retirement money on the internet instead, at least the liquor would be cheaper that way. Seriously, aside from roulette, craps is one of the easiest casino games to lose money at, and they won't even let you handle the dice with your own hands? What's the point of it? Guess I'll just call this 'evolution in action'; if casinos want to create their own extinction-level event for their own industry then I guess that's probably best for everyone else anyway.
I don't and won't agree. In the last 10 years I've gotten rid of 'services' that you have to pay for in perpetuity because they never pay for themselves. Owning your own stuff is always better and I'm not drinking their Kool-aid -- and I'm far from alone in feeling this way about this subject. You're being taken for fools.
*sigh* it's another case of Media Hype being taken as Fact by people who don't know what the fuck they're talking about, that's what this is. We do not have 'AI', we have 'pseudo-intelligence' at best, and it's not very good in any case. All this talk about this-or-that job being replaced in X-number of years is just a bunch of hot air and baseless opinions.
Yah? I think that's dumb. BUY the music you want, play it as many times as you like, never pay again, don't use up your data cap on a mobile device, don't need Internet. Go right ahead and keep buying in to the business model of "you own nothing, everything is a rental".

I was implying that, but yes; the disenfranchisement of minorities in America. Fuck that shit.
Well, they can get fucked, then. Not on our watch.
..says the person who would be determined to be 'poor' and tossed into the woodchipper.

WAAAH! Jeff Bezos is richer and a more successful businessman than I am, WAAAH!

Casino dealers and fishermen are both likely to be replaced by machines in coming years.
That's just someone's opinion. Nothing to see here..

Yah? I think that's dumb. BUY the music you want, play it as many times as you like, never pay again, don't use up your data cap on a mobile device, don't need Internet. Go right ahead and keep buying in to the business model of "you own nothing, everything is a rental".
