What people should go back to doing is actually connecting with people directly, and in person as much as possible, rather than the fake, sterile experience of using the Internet, which it seems to me more often than not is used to avoid actually being social. It's also screwing up the socialization of kids, especially teeangers, who are socially awkward more often than not to start with, and who need more practice socializing, not excuses to be socially avoidant.
Hey Google why don't you just start packet-sniffing everything like the CIA/NSA/FBI/whoever does and cut out all this shit in the middle? It's clear you want ALL THE DATA, so just save yourself the trouble and cut to the chase.
"Nothing went wrong this time so nothing can go wrong"
This so-called 'engineer' is a danger to himself and others and having admitted what he's done they should find something to prosecute him for.
Yes, friend, she did. But understand this: The ENTIRE COUNTRY got ass-raped in 2016, not just Democrats. Russia? Know what they say? They say " " (mission accomplished) and break out the good vodka. They helped turn this country upside down. It'll be DECADES before we fix all the damage that orange haired sonofabitch has done -- and THEY HELPED regardless of being asked to or not.
Not even your own party will re-elect the son of a bitch now, he stands for nothing and no one except himself, and Russia or no Russia, that's clear and obvious to all but the most myopic. He's made a mockery of the Office of the President, and a mockery of the entire United States with regard to every other nation on the planet, including especially our allies. Everyone in the world is just shining him on and humoring him until 2020, when we'll have a real POTUS again. You bet on the wrong horse (as if there was a right horse; EVERYONE got fucked in 2016, not just Democrats), just admit it, learn from your goddamned mistake, and MOVE ON yourself. The rest of us have. We just want to put the goddamned country back together and fix all the damage he's done.
Eventually it might. Stupid people, of which currently there are way too many for my liking, latch onto that and use it as an excuse to ignore the problem entirely, continue being wasteful, and even so far as to be MORE wasteful, polluting, selfish, and so on. There is literally no reason to continue using fossil fuels, and seek out cleaner, more efficient replacement technologies, but stupid, wasteful, selfish people, again of which there are way too many, just can't be bothered.
I've had it up to HERE with people's stupidity, and I'm sick and bloody well tired of trying to reason with them when they clearly aren't capable of being reasoned with. So the kid gloves come off and they can get punched in the mouth every time they say something stupid. I recommend everyone else take a hard line on this subject. It's not something 'optional' that you can just write off to people's personal preferences anymore.
Doesn't mean we just stick our fingers in our ears going LALALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU! when the subject comes up and ignore the whole thing. Or if it does then I have to conclude that our entire species doesn't deserve to survive anyway and should just do it right and launch all the missiles now and end it.
Oh well I can certainly see how such a trivial issue as the Earth, being the only planet we can currently live on for the foreseeable future, continuing to be habitable wouldn't interest anyone. What's that compared to talking about yet more toys, playing with computers, screwing around with video games, and some science fantasy movie or other? We should just forget all about this silly survival-as-a-species nonsense, that's for the next generation to worry about, who cares if they survive so long as we can play all the time until we drop dead? Live for today! You're more important than everyone else on the planet, past present or future! Some girl might actually let your touch her boobies, what's more important than that! #MAGA!:-(
Those are your opinions, not facts, and as such I'm ignoring them. You're just a Trump supporter, nothing more, so facts bounce off you like rubber balls. Bye-bye.
Donald Trump has been attacking the Constitution he's supposed to protect and defend since before he even got into office, specifically the 1st and 14th Amendments. How can you defend someone who refuses to perform Job One for a POTUS, which is defend the Constitution? Face it, friend, he's an embarassment. I didn't want him or Hillary but in retrospect I'd rather have had her than him by a longshot, and I don't give a damn what you or anyone thinks about that.
I get your sarcasm, and that's fine, so long as you're not one of those sit-on-your-hands types that have given up on voting and system in general; if you are, then please renounce your citizenship and go live somewhere else, the last thing we need right now is deadweight.
Eat shit and die with your tired-out bullshit 'she lost' line, asshole. Voted 3rd party because I couldn't stand either of them, does that make you angry?
Meanwhile Orange Julius Caesar continually embarasses, discredits, and disgraces himself and the Office of the President, and the entire United States, and will not get re-elected; even your own party has had enough of his shenanigans, so how about YOU get over it, YOU FUCKED UP. BLUE 2020.
Now fuck off and go fix your own shit, you got plenty of it to attend to.
Oh, they got rid of the 'swamp'. They just built a cesspool in it's place, and called it an 'upgrade'.
Look at who's been appointed to important government posts, and how either underqualified they are, or how corrupt they are, or how much of a personal agenda they have, or all the above, and you'll see what I mean.
Try actually lifting your head and looking around you instead of staring at the ground all the time and shuffling your feet, muttering to yourself under your breath, and maybe you'll see what's actually going on around you.
That's more conservatism in action than it is a long, hard R&D cycle. They already had lanterns, why do they need this newfangled 'electricity' thing for?
In his apparent mad rush to drag the U.S. back to the 1940's technologically, socialogically, and politically, the gods-be-damned Trump administration will likely defund, kill off, and bury any and all research into practical fusion reactor technology, and instead insist on building more coal-fired power plants. Give 'em enough rope, and he'll probably try to outlaw solar power and wind power, too. Never mind what that'll do even in the short term to nationwide air quality and people's respiratory health, his science adviser assures him there's no connection between asthma, and other respiratory diseases, and air pollution.
Meanwhile countries like China will forge ahead and likely master fusion technology ahead of the U.S., and rub our faces in it in front of the rest of the world, making the U.S. look like even a bigger laughingstock than it already has been made to look like in the last 2 years, if you can believe that's even possible. If Trump, somehow, against all odds and against all common sense, manages to get re-elected in 2020, all I can tell you is: better start learning to speak Mandarin and Russian.
I can't wait for the day history does come around again and bite them in the ass.
Every time that happens there's open war with lots of blood and beheadings, so I'd rather not see it in my lifetime.
Sure. I'm with you there, AC. But I'd also hope enough people in positions to do something about it are informed enough and thoughtful enough to really comprehend what's happening here, and put a stop to it before it's set in stone and our species has to go through yet another iteration of this stupid loop. We, as a species, keep taking two steps forward and one step back -- and occasionally one step forward and two steps back; for once it would be nice if we'd just keep taking nice steady steps forward and skip the whole backtracking thing.

Your opinion. Be sure to put that disclaimer on all such comments.
Lock up Zuckerberg, burn Facebook to the ground.

There is no "popular vote" for the US President.
Go obfuscate yourself with extreme prejudice, jackass.

Doesn't know the difference between 'hyperbole' and 'extreme sarcasm'
Please just go away.
Yeah sure and you need to bugger off.
Yeah sure ignoring the problem completely will just make it evaporate. Bug off.

Short-sightedness never accomplished anything.

As opposed to doing what, precisely?
