I'm tired of being told both that women are 'equals' while also being told that I'm responsible for their emotional well being. Either women are adults or they are children. They need to decide which way they want to be treated.
Yes. Lets ask children if they want to be treated like adults, and trust them to act like adults if they answer in the affirmative.
Or, maybe that's a cop out, and we should start acting like men.
In Islamic countries, it's illegal to earn money off debt, and their civilization is growing. It's a perfectly functional way to operate. I went looking for an Islamic bank myself, but there weren't any close enough for me to do business with them.
Just as an aside, I've yet to wear a tie and I've had plenty of "real jobs." If wearing a tie is the requirement, I'll pass. Fuck, I don't even think I *own* a tie, much less a suit.
You should get one. I haven't been able to wear my suits to work much because I look silly sitting next to all the other long haired unshowered developers with ripped jeans and body odor loodking classy. So, I just wear it around town when I want to drink whiskey, smoke cubans and pull women. Kinda like Barney Stinson.
I wish someone had told me in high school how much easier your life becomes if you invest a bit of time and money into decent clothes. My life would have been so much more enjoyable.
But, I'm sure, like I was, you're "too intelligent for that crap". Your loss.
A woman choosing to be a homemaker is quite different than telling someone that they should be a homemaker just because they're a woman.
Yeah, it's like telling a 6'10" black dude that he ought to go out for basketball. What a horrible piece of advice to give. She should totally become an entertainer and dance for me. Like a monkey. Dance, monkey, dance! Show us your tits! You wanna pay the rent right?
Speaking personally, I have immense respect for a homemaker, raising the next generation of children who will care for me in my old age and be fit peers for my progeny. I have the same respect for a loyal husband and father. Not a whole lot of respect for anything else though. Wow, you work at a bank/a lab/dance and sing on stage... like I give a sweet flying fuck.
I don't owe anyone my respect, no matter how much I'm browbeaten. I have far more respect for the woman who makes me coffee, works two jobs and still cares for her husband and children than I do for the likes of Ada Lovelace and Steve Jobs.
I'm not sure that the blatant misogyny in the joke here is worthy of anything higher than a -1: Flaimbait, but really: if you can completely automate production of every single thing that people depend on for their day-to-day lives: food, drinking water, medicine, and shelter: what's left?
Sure. Sure. Art, science, human progress. We're never going to give those up. Taking care of your own home and family would be the one obligation that would remain as a personal duty(yes, regardless of gender).
It's not yet, but at some point we're going to have to assess our work-ethic culture with the inevitable collision with technological progress.
You consider suggesting she learn to be a homemaker to be misogynist?
It's an important and fulfilling role, more important than ever in a world full of fucked up little bastards, deserving of your respect. It's you that is the misogynist for suggesting that only a persecuted woman would choose such a task. Just because a homemaker isn't producing something for you personally in exchange for your money doesn't mean what she does isn't of vital importance to us all.
You suggest she'd be most useful as a modern jester for your amusement. That's a pretty horrible thing to say. You're a real piece of work.
I hope this makes people think twice before filing a forget-me request. It ensures they'll be remembered.
Perhaps you'll be the victim of slander and lose your career over a lie that is interesting enough to go viral where your vindication isn't and doesn't.
Am I the only one who thinks this is cool as hell, and wants this made open access for all?
Why is it ALWAYS with the fear mongering about the privacy you already don't have, and no one ever talks about the better decisions we could be making if everyone knew what the elite already know?
Sensor networks are interesting for their potential to tell us things we'd never think to ask. About ourselves.
Quit trying to hide like cowards and chase the power to watch the watchers, you mis'rble bastards!
They want to allow people to be reassured that they have "enough" privacy by giving them tools that will protect them from other end users learning their secrets, whatever they've decided those secrets should be.
Their saleable advantage is that they can let people manipulate you. They've been using mass analysis of mail as a way to better do that since their mail services were invite only.
They want you to be satisfied with them not just invading your privacy, not just manipulating you with what they learn, but manipulating you for anyone who wants to pay.
Saving money for a rainy day is hard. Giving everything you have and will have to your kids is easy. Wasteful greed is an immature trait that is not lost at 5, 16, 25 or 60. It's lost after you become a parent. People who don't have children ARE NOT ADULTS, ever. Irresponsible to count their vote as though they were.
You missed the important part, about only utilizing doctors as a tool in a critical situation, as opposed to trusting them to dictate what is wise, you ignorant, overeducated, overspecialized, codependent urban freak.
I don't trust the medical industry. They sell things that are harmful. They promote things that are non optimal because the optimal choice is generic. They publish non replicable research most of the time to promote their careers. They hide mistakes with out of court settlements and non disclosure agreements. They cut corners to drive up profits. They serve money, which means serving the interests of the aging boomer population, whose interests conflict with mine. And, they are wrong all the fucking time.
I trust them to treat a critical situation when they're the best available option at that time, using tried and true methods. I don't trust them to inject drugs containing heavy metals and viruses into the whole population for x dollars a pop.
Some guy was ranting about getting a pound of flesh from people who don't vaccine. The problem is attributable to excessive population density, allowing the diseases to spread more rapidly than they sicken, and preventing people from avoiding the ill. Wanna keep concentrating in cities, using industrial farming and wasting ridiculous amounts of energy, despite all the warnings? That's OK. There's a disease for that.
I believe it because I had it, loved it, had it taken from me, long for it, hate the person I become without it, and wish I could wreck terrible vengeance on everyone who participates in the vile social system that thought it acceptable to take it from me.
Is that going to continue to work if they are disabling the installed extensions retroactively? If it's not part of the update process now, it could be down the road.
I didn't express an opinion. I acknowledged that human capabilities extend far beyond the norm, and that neither of us knows, something you're unprepared to do. This isn't a thesis defense, or a court room. Being pedantic and engaging in sophistry isn't going to achieve some sort of victory of debate that erases the fact that you're a prick.
Wrong. Quality people that put quality time into quality work need to get paid.
Yes there are mass market producers that produce large amounts of drek. But that's what some people want to buy.
Don't try to destroy the market simply because you're full of misguided hate... its ugly and pathetic.
How the hell am I "trying to destroy the market"? I won't miss it when it's gone, and you clearly will, but that's no excuse for attacking my character.
And, tetrachromats are the daughter of a man who is an anomalous trichromats and a woman with normal vision. One of the man's cone types has a mutation that makes it a little off.
In a normal woman, she'll have two x chromosomes, each having functionally identical coding for red, green and blue cones. She doesn't need both, so one of the x chromosomes will be switched off.
In a tetrachromat, she'll have two x chromosomes, but only two of the three types of cones are functionally identical, and the third color of cone is functionally different.
So, she might have R0, G0, B0 on one and R0, G1, B0 on the other.
When the x chromosomes are switched off, it's not always the same one. Sometimes it's the one from mom, sometimes the one from dad. So, her eyes will have R0, G0, G1 and B0.
This is what gives her superior color vision.
It also gives her a higher probability of having colorblind male children.
Rude lies like that are why someone modded you troll. Nowhere did I say that if I can't do it you can't do it. Nowhere did I say anything like what you claim I said. You lied about what I said, in a rude manner. Why? Obviously to pick a fight. Some call that trolling.
If you don't like it, stop trolling.
If you want to address what I said, rather than making fun of me for you thinking I share a different opinion, feel free to try again. You do the worst of what you accuse me of.
You implied in a sarcastic tone that all the people who claim to be able to tell the difference between a tube amp and a solid state amp are lying about it. This implies that you cannot. You don't know the audiophiles in question that you are implying are liars, and you can't provide any evidence whatsoever that they lied, but you implied it anyway.
Should not the analogy continue a bit further with: and when there are no more Charlie Stross novels, the customers can not buy them, making Amazon's incomes diminish. At which time they have to pay more to the Charlie Strosses out there.
Is this not just precise how capitalism is supposed to work?

I won't be looking at an Islamic country as an example of a "perfectly functional way to operate." I like my freedom, thanks.
Whatever you say, debt slave.

Make debt the responsibility of the lender.

I'd assume everyone knows something about a few specific things. If not partner with an SME who does.
You, me, ass...

You don't fix bad data with software. You just express how you're going to make due with what you have.
You carry personal computers everywhere you go. It's not a matter of capacity, but collective will.
The planet where the elite want you to talk about chasing the wrong dream, and I'm fighting against that influence in every debate on this subject.
Am I the only one who thinks this is cool as hell, and wants this made open access for all?

Don't forget the fishing net
Let me be the first.

Hear, hear
I believe it because I had it, loved it, had it taken from me, long for it, hate the person I become without it, and wish I could wreck terrible vengeance on everyone who participates in the vile social system that thought it acceptable to take it from me.
