  1. Ms Delarco (my 8th grade English Teacher) stop stalking me. I passed your class you can't tell me what to do anymore.

  2. Dear media please die already. on Facebook VP Says Company Won't Use Experts To Fix Fake News Because It is Worried About Criticism (theoutline.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    They are smart not to outsource their issue. Those so called "experts" out there all end up just peddling a different form of fake news. Facebook is already in enough hot water, bringing those dumbasses in would have just made things worse. In the end they are still destined for Myspace glory because they cant leave well enough alone.

    Just give me a way to block annoying sources of content, whether they be a person (the crazy Aunt) or a bunch of asshats trolling clickbait. I don't need you telling me what to think,

    What capitalism?

    Can I buy any kind of car I want. No I can't

    Can manufacturers build a car that doesn't comply with 10,000 pages of environmental and safety regulations. No they can't.

    So no capitalism to be found. That is what is known as crony capitalism (AKA socialism)

    Yeah...no it won't. No car I own will ever send me adds.

    When are fuckers going to figure out that I haven't paid attention to advertisement after say the age of 10 or so. I can't think of one time as an adult that I have bought anything based on an add.

    ....but the FDA evaluated these procedures and said they were effective and safe. No way that couldn't be the case. The government NEVER fucks anything up

  8. Maybe they shouldn't have created an excessive pension system in the first place.

    They were forcing them to fund it at 75% which is not even 100% to keep them from trying to default and dump the bill on the taxpayers.

  9. At any given time in a large company 10-20% either don't have a job, or are underperformers. Companies that do not regularly purge this dead weight will basically turn into a typical government agency (30-40% dead weight) and go bankrupt shortly there after.

    To act like this is some evil activity to fuck over the little guy is a level of stupid only found in academia (60-75% dead weight)

    You are mostly full of shit. The deal with Hillary was kept on the down low and were against the bylaws of the DNC. The rank and file were kept in the dark. If they had made the deal public the DNC would have lost most of its support, followed up by a lot of lawsuits and demands for their funds back.

    I give two shits about the RNC requesting opposition research. Much of the RNC needs to flushed down the same toilet as the DNC.

    The difference is how the DNC went about getting it and who they paid for it. Turns out again not of the sunny side of the legal line.

  15. Sounds like a good idea, but from what I've read they control the amount of currency in the system which will just lead to a future even to cause them to start printing more currency. All the currencies suffer from this problem. Who pays the bills to keep the software up to date, or or good old fashion greed when it gets capitlized to the point that a few strokes of the keyboard could add millions of dollars to their pocket.

    The only way to get IOTAs is to trade with other currencies. Sounds like they are just trying to cash out and then sell it off to a government, banking system, or large tech company such as Amazon that could use such a system internally.

    It is just a lighter version of the currencies we have now, and just like them cannot surivive out in the wild on its own.

    At this point I hardly believe anything they say.

    There is the simple fact that even if the DNC and Hillary were hacked by the Russians, which evidence shows that it was mostly leaked data by their own people, they were acting in a criminal manner to rig the nomination process and to burn Trump with made with a made up dossier .

    I for one do not care how the information came out. The fact that it came out was good enough for me. I actually hope hackers all over the world do this every election. Break in to both sides as show where all the bodies are buried. Maybe then we can end some of the corruption that plagues governments.

    Falcon 9 can take 50,000lbs to LEO. That would be 5,000 bombs per trip. Getting hit by a 10lb object that is moving 20+mach pretty much means a bad day for who ever is on the receiving end.

    Larger ones would be needed for bunker busting, but 10lbs weapons would be more than enough to take out anything else on the surface.

    Sounds good. Cut military ten percent and you get $60 Billion dollars.

    Let's also cut social program/welfare spending 10% at the Federal level and we can add another $230 Billion dollars to that pile.

    Round up NASA to a nice even $100 Billion and pocket the rest as savings.

    I have always argued we could do away with most of the military and replace it with an orbital bombardment system that is funded out of well funded a space program. A few thousand GPS guided kinetic weapons (think something the size of a bowling ball in space) and you no longer have to scramble jets or deploy troops. They could hit anywhere on Earth in under 50 minutes and there would be little to no defense against them.

    I always love the guilt trip argument. They are just kindly old people you heartless bastard!!

    Look around you. All those average fucktards you encounter day to day that make life just a little more miserable. Those same people will be old people one day and you will have to pay for them. That being said grandma and grandpa were those same people 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 years ago. Except they have you tricked in thinking that you owe them something.

    Maybe they should have had kids to take care of them in their old age. Maybe they should have been nice to their kids so they would want to take care of them. Maybe they should have put some money away to last them through their golden years.

    It doesn't matter that they are not living "high on the hog". The fact that there are 76 million of them (Baby Boomers) and each wants a retirement check and free health care out of you. At $50,000 per baby boomer for retirement and Medicare (that is probably too low of a number) that is $3.8 Trillion dollars per year. Our current Federal budget is $3.8 Trillion.

    The reality is we cannot afford it even if we wanted to.

    Most of NASAs is eaten up by paychecks. Cut the number of admin people by 2/3rd and voila you have a enough budget surplus for all manner of space missions.

    Better yet. Cut welfare/social spending at the Federal level by 1% and you can add another $23Billion dollars to NASA's anemic $17B budget.
