    Are you in HR? Abusive employers are the unprofessional ones. It is a public service to expose them. Power and money grubbing scum are not deserving of your imagined "professionalism", you have Stockholm syndrome.

    Wrong-headed thinking there, corporate sheeple. Abusive employers need to be outed in all possible venues, maps are an excellent place to warn interviewees.

    Femtosecond synchronization between remote clocks is even possible, the scale where gradient of gravitational potential becomes significant to frequency difference between two clocks according to General Relativity, to the tune of 10E-16 variation in frequency per effective meter of elevation. There is discussion of defining a "chronometric geoid", a mathematical surface around the earth upon which atomic clocks can run at the same rate.

    False, not in widespread use at all, compared to say dollars or euros, too illiquid. waiting days for a transaction cripples it.

    no, most plastic can't be recycled at all outside of tabletop laboratory experiment, contrary to popular belief. look it up.

    No Bitcoin is a failure, with a bottlenecked architecture that prevents liquidity, high transaction fees far in excess of bank wiring fee, high percentage of use for black market begging for government intervention, and extreme volatility making it useless as store of value

    Hitler not abnormal compared to other monarchs/dictators, where do you get that historically inaccurate idea?

    "sub-standard human trash" classification exists in our society, and we enslave/maim/kill/steal from those for power and profit. we support governments that do such too.

    Hitler was a corporate fascist. Our government system is corporate fascism. He had millions of innocents killed, our government's body count per decade might be only in the hundreds of thousands but it's the same shit only difference is height of the body pile.
