  1. I will never belong to a union on Does Silicon Valley Need More Labor Unions? (salon.com) · · Score: 0, Troll

    Making the same as everyone else and keeping bad employees does not appeal to me. There is a reason why the labor movement was communist.

  2. Put Heather Bresch(Manchin) in prison on Price-gouging Maker of EpiPen Literally Said That Critics Can Go Fuck Themselves (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    Take away all of Mylan's patents and place them in the public domain. Their trademarks too...

  3. Like Uber, Facebook won't follow law on How Facebook Flouts Holocaust Denial Laws Except Where It Fears Being Sued (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    facebook apparently puts its liberal anti semetic beliefs above all else.

  4. Like everything Uber does on Pittsburgh Is Falling Out of Love With Uber's Self-Driving Cars (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    It's a damn scam! Is there anything this company does that is actually legal and legit? It wouldnt surprise me if the wrecks weren't into Lyft vehicles and deliberate.

  5. Science is already too PC on 'Science Must Clean Up Its Act' (scientificamerican.com) · · Score: 1

    Science should be about reproduceable results. Not the agenda of the "scientists".

    They are an enemy of the United States. Arrest them and take their computers.

    That would be a good start wouldn't you think?

  8. Uber should be shut down on Justice Department Opens Criminal Probe Into Uber (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    They've already commited enough shenanigans to warrant the corporate death penalty.

  9. I love snipers... on Court Rules In 'Sextortion' Case That Phone PINs Are Not Protected By Fifth Amendment (cnn.com) · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    There have been many times in history where millions of lives could have been saved by one well aimed sniper round. This judge should be reminded of that.

  10. his videos should rank #1.

    I have no facebook account. I've also never consumed a Starbucks product.

  11. Facebook would sell their grandmother for a buck. on Facebook Lets Advertisers Target Insecure Teens, Says Report (cnet.com) · · Score: 2

    Which is all you need to know to know that your children should not be anywhere near it!

  12. Mylan: Corporate Death Penalty on Mylan's Epic EpiPen Price Hike Wasn't About Greed -- It's Worse, Lawsuit Claims (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Their behavior deserves it. Their corporation is dissolved, all their executives (including Mizz Bresch) are banned from working in similar positions for life, and all their intellectual property is public domain.

  14. Quit making crappy movies. on Hollywood Producer Blames Rotten Tomatoes For Convincing People Not To See His Movie (vanityfair.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It's very simple. Stop remaking the same movies over and over. Come up with something NEW for once.

  15. Universities should have no patents on Maryland Legislator Wants To Keep State University Patents Away From Trolls (eff.org) · · Score: 1

    Because anything they produce is a WORK FORE HIRE paid for by the TAXPAYERS.

  16. This "temporary" tax will never go away on Massachusetts Will Tax Ride-Sharing Companies To Subsidize Taxis (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    No temporary tax or fee EVER goes away.

  17. I don't want an EV.
    I'm not going to BUY an EV.

    A vehicle that doesn't run on fuel has limited range and utility. I don't want a car that is on a leash.

    And if Obama or anyone in DC thinks they can force me into an EV, they can SUCK IT.

  18. Re:My civil disobedience on Facebook Will Force Advertising On Ad-Blocking Users (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    Indian Outsources call us all the time. They get quite angry when they find out they are talking to the people they want to replace.

    Lately they fake their phone numbers on the caller ID to force me to answer their SPAM calls by pretending to be a 304-xxx-xxxx number (West Virginia).

    In India the Caste System still rules (despite being illegal) and they don't think much of West Virginia.

    They get quite insulted and curse in Hinglish when you ask them what part of West Virginia they are calling from.

  19. Re:Bankruptcy will be thrown out on Gawker Files For Bankruptcy After Hulk Hogan Lawsuit (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    Because this plan will allow Gawker to continue, perhaps even under the same management. Thiel won't want that.

  20. Bankruptcy will be thrown out on Gawker Files For Bankruptcy After Hulk Hogan Lawsuit (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    I am not a lawyer, clearly, but it seems to me that Gawker isn't entitled to bankruptcy protection in this case just to dodge the court judgement since the court judgement is the ONLY REASON THAT THEY ARE INSOLVENT as a company.

    Thiel and Hogan's legal team will have a filing before the bankruptcy court on Monday to throw out Gawker's petition and to stop the sale.

    The appropriate filing would be for Chapter 7 Liquidation and a court appointed Receiver put in charge of Gawker (thus firing the management) for the purpose of preserving assets needed to pay the judgement.

  21. Cut the cord on Price Dispute Means 800k Customers Lose TV Channels In Sweden (telecompaper.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    People are sick of these perpetual price increases. Cable is the only product I can think of that is constantly decreasing in value yet always increasing in price, well above the rate of inflation.

    Enough is enough.

    I cut the cord back in July, and I've not missed it. And better yet, my dollars are no longer fund channels like MSLSD or CNN.

  22. Re:Isn't this a no brainer? on German Publisher Axel Springer Bans Adblocking Users From Bild Website (axelspringer.de) · · Score: 3, Informative

    Most people wouldn't use ad blocking if the advertisers didn't allow malware laden ads be served to their PC's turning them into mindless drones for a botnet. They could fix that problem easily by turning around and vetting ads. Or if the ads weren't so obtrusive and annoying either. Bet we'll see within 3 months that they're reversing this stance, or within a year it shuts down.

    Remember when the New York Times decided to put themselves behind a Paywall? That didn't last a year. I suspect the same thing will happen here. People don't like ads. The answer isn't to block adblockers, the answer is to stop annoying the shit out of your visitors that they would WANT an ad blocker!

    Why can't they be sued by the victim? I guarantee over a billion a year is spent on malware removal!

  24. When do ad networks get sued for spreading malware on German Publisher Axel Springer Bans Adblocking Users From Bild Website (axelspringer.de) · · Score: 3, Informative

    Nope. If you want to block my adblocker, fine, I won't go there.

    I find NO ad acceptable, but if web ads acted like newspaper ads and sat there, didn't try to distract me from reading, didn't take over my screen, didn't make noise, flash, throb, etc, I'd TOLERATE it.

    These days, ad networks are so laden with malware and viruses (when is Google or another ad network going to get sued for not vetting content?) that an ad blocker is antivirus for your web browser!

    Yep. Reddit isn't serious about anything until she's gone.

    Anyone who ever subscribed to Star Wars Galaxies experienced this exact kind of management. SOE endlessly would apologize for their "lack of communication" then proceed to continue on their destructive changes no one liked not altering their course one degree.
