.....to produce their eggs they put LOADS of chickens in these crates crowded to hell & it hurts a lot of the birds (sad, but we have to eat)....
Bullshit... There is no goddamn reason to torture animals for food reasons. If you can't grow a free range chicken then you shouldn't be raising chickens. I'm all for eating meat, but it never fails to amaze me how some assholes will justify eating torture meat and then bitch when someone goes out into the woods and shoots a deer.
It's all good. When the economy collapses, and civilization falls shortly thereafter, I'm gonna be hunting healthy vegans.. No GMOs/pesticides for me, just tasty and healthy soylent green made from real vegans.
Hell, I don't even buy tomatoes fresh in the grocery store anymore, they're just flavorless, and often horrible texture.
Probably because most are picked well before they are ripe so they don't spoil on the long hauls they have to travel to get to xyz grocery store in some state 1000 miles away. I buy local produce as much as possible, because you're absolutely correct. Most grocery store produce sucks balls.
While I mostly agree with you, you have made a small error in your logic. It's not your browser. It's a free browser that you downloaded from Google that has been coded to do what they want it to do.
I despise Google (for most things) but there is an element of entitlement in you demanding that software, you paid nothing for, behave in a manner you dictate. If you had paid for the software, then you'd have an argument (of sorts). But, you haven't. You're placing demands on something you have vested no money in. There's an old saying "Beggars can't be choosers".
Get a different browser.. One that conforms to your desire. How many stories, about Google siphoning up huge amounts of personal data and related information, do we have to have before you people ditch Chrome?
You are not Google's customer. You are Google's PRODUCT and you are being sold as such. This isn't news. This has been going on for at least a decade.
No. It's not the same. Your bank is earning interest on the money it loans out.. i.e. there is always some positive cash flow.. Well, assuming it's not 2008 and they aren't loaning gobs of money to assholes with a credit score of 400.
These morons were buying coins with money they did not have. If your bank runs out of cash, they make a phone call and have more delivered via armored truck. Your bank can also sell assets or loans to generate cash. i.e. they can sell real property or debt obligations that are backed by real property.
I feel like I shouldn't have to explain this. Gonna have to assume you're a product of our (USA) public school system and have never been taught financial responsibility and how the banking system actually works. Mostly this, probably, isn't your fault. Well, unless you're an adult.. Then you should have sought out the knowledge.. You can't be expected to be spoon fed every bit of information you need to navigate life.
Fiscal education should be absolutely mandatory.. Knowing how to manage your money and how the whole damn system works is information that is critical to a person's financial well being and stability.
For the 1,000,000th time. It's DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME. You are saving daylight... It's not Savings Time. This isn't a fucking bank account. You aren't storing it for later use..
Don't fuckin say "Don't make a copy Not via DVD, CD, tape, vinyl, wax cylinder, papyrus, stone slab, nor via hard disk, SSD, Ethernet, Fibre Channel,...".
Just fuckin say "Don't make a copy!"
What about the copies that are made into RAM or your HDD/SSD? There's a reason why they get so specific..
$300 million is the price to pay 2100 persons? At $11904 average per month, some of them must be very well paid.
Yeah, you're obviously not / nor have ever been an employer if you think that $11,904 is strictly wages. There's wages, SDI, UI, SS, FICA Medicare and a whole grip of other shit (workplace injury insurance) Realistically, a $10/hour worker costs about $15/hour and a $50/hour worker about $75/hour once you add up all the governmental mandated bullshit. Which I mostly don't have a problem with, but jesus h. christ the paperwork gets old and is complicated.. And if you fuck up....... Penalties and fines up the wazoo
Techniques only get better. Moreover one could flash the firmware enroute to where it's going (intercept the Amazon package).. So there is some small bit of a security issue here.. The NSA was exposed/caught reprogramming routers while they were still on the UPS truck.. Nice little National Security Letter to the driver and no one is the wiser.
Physical access to a device doesn't always mean physical access to the computer/server said device will be installed in.
My first HDD, a 10MB monster for the Apple//e &//c weighed about 40 lbs and came with it's own power supply. You could hear it spin up from across the room and my electrical bill was impacted, noticeably, after I got it.
Nice find... back in 2010, when most people were still using spinning discs with platters.
SSD sales are not expected to surpass HDD sales until 2021. However, 600 million units of HDDs are still forecast to ship that year.. You're jumping the gun a bit.
Well no shit genius. He said a debt, and we're talking about a restaurant which means you get the bill afterwards.
Yeah, what about McDonalds genius? You pay your bill there before or after you eat? How about Panda Express (if you want an example that is a little more "restauranty") ?
You must take cash as an option if you sell something.
While I am in favor of this, at the current time it simply is not so and saying it over and over won't make it true. This policy is only valid in places that have specifically passed laws mandating it.
The US Treasury has said, over and over, that taking cash is not a legal requirement in the United States. Companies are free to set whatever policy they want.
Did Hoover answer to the president? How naive. The FBI views itself as above the elected government.
Hoover died 47 years ago. What happened then is not relevant. The vast majority of people in the FBI, at that time, are long since dead. Do you need to be reminded that both Clinton and Trump have fired an FBI director? Both directors left when fired.. Nobody staged a coup. Your argument holds as much water as a sieve.
Yeah, but he's right.. The airmen in the silos could have launched the missiles all by themselves any time they wanted. The only codes required to physically launch the missiles were 8 zeros. To be fair, however, this system was rectified nearly 30 years ago.
Also, these silos were not connected to the internet. They were/are part of the DSN (Defense Service Network). My experience with them ends 20 years ago, so I haven't the slightest clue how they're operating now. But, as the cold war is over, I suspect that the need to have missiles that can be launched independently has long since passed.
I donated, volunteered, and voted for Trump but I gotta say... fuck his FBI director on this.
I gotta say: fuck you and fuck Trump.
Of course you do.. Your side spazzes out when they hear things they don't like. Even when spoken by a lay person with no political power.. You just can't tolerate the sound waves... or something...
Education I'm going to give a hard no to, I should be able to teach my children as I see fit and public education has been a massive money sink with poor results.
I agree with a lot of what you listed.. But there are limits.. I have a real hard time with the idea that parents should be allowed to totally fuck up their kids. There has to be some sort of baseline... Like, I could care less what the parents do to themselves.. They're adults.. But it seems problematic that we'll allow two adults to do nutso shit to their kids that will last a lifetime..
Along the lines of education, and what parents should be permitted to teach as "fact" (creationism comes to mind), what about Health Care? It boggles my mind that we permit nutjobs, like Christian Scientists, to withhold medical care from their children. The idea that it's permissible that a child should die because his parents won't allow him to have a $2 shot of Penicillin is beyond me. If the parents want to practice their religion, fatally, upon themselves, that's fine.. But to kill a kid? Jeeze.... This religious right, generally supported by the politically conservative, afforded to Christian Scientists seems to be a type of retroactive abortion.. Something conservatives should be totally against.
Yes, you are.. Leftism is a mental disorder, but don't despair, there's hope for you yet.. You just need a good dose of willpower and an understanding that you are, and should be, the master of your own destiny. People don't have a right to your shit and you don't have a right to theirs... Repeat that 5 times a day and in a month you won't be sad.
Tyrannical government would squash you like a bug with all your automatic rifles.
I understand what you're sayin', but I don't think you're necessarily right. You're absolutely right that citizens can't match the firepower of the army.. No argument.. But footage of the government using tanks and rockets to kill citizens armed with deer rifles makes for some pretty emotional stuff. People understand the concept of abuse of might. It's quite possible that 300+ million citizens could simply overwhelm a rogue government.. And I'm not implying a 100% participation rate either.. Hundreds of thousands would be sufficient in most scenarios I can think of. There comes a point when the bodies are just too numerous.. You'd have a real hard time convincing an American army to mow down citizens by the tens of thousands.. Some psychos would go for it, no doubt... But the vast majority? No fucking way..
That's plenty for hunting, farmer use, and self defense.
That'd be fine and dandy if that's what the point of the 2nd was about. But you know damn well that's not what it was about. If you don't know that, then you don't know our history. The whole damn war started when Britain sent soldiers to collect guns. That's the act that started the first firefight..
So don't be trying to snow us with your "hunting" bullshit. The 2nd is about own the guns to keep the government from crawling up your asshole. It's a last ditch safety for when every other option has failed.
Ya know, after the civil war, most of the rebel soldiers were given their guns back. They'd just used them to shoot Americans, and we gave them back.. Because "we in the government don't like citizens having guns" didn't fly back then. The war was over and the rebels were citizens once again.. And they got back all of their rights..

What the hell is up with all of the unnecessary commas? They have a purpose. They aren't glitter that you sprinkle all over the fucking place.
Yeah.. The "authorities" are awesome at regulation... Totally prevented the 2008 banking crisis. Oh wait....
For the 1,000,000th time. It's DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME. You are saving daylight... It's not Savings Time. This isn't a fucking bank account. You aren't storing it for later use..
As gold is heavy and non toxic I wonder how well it would work in bullets and anti-tank shells and the like.
Uh... Not at all? You're aware that gold is super soft right?
Don't fuckin say "Don't make a copy Not via DVD, CD, tape, vinyl, wax cylinder, papyrus, stone slab, nor via hard disk, SSD, Ethernet, Fibre Channel, ...".

If they go to court to try to enforce their terms, they will definitely lose if the defendant's lawyer brings up this news story.
Here we go.. Another asshole who thinks he's a lawyer. You are WRONG WRONG WRONG. Not reading a contract is not a defense.
