  1. Are you kidding me? The millenials are so full of themselves that they take selfies ten times a day and post them to social media. Now that's the me generation.

    Boomers: fucked over the millennials by massively overspending and burdening the younger generations with huge debt, impoossibly high housing prices and vast retirement programs to find.

    Millenneals: take selfies

    Conclusion: fucking millennials are the "me" generation.

    You blame ALL the boomers for the few uber-wealthy cutting taxes for themselves? Stupid.

  2. Boomers should be lauded for one thing only, they are selfish pricks, aptly named the "me generation". Thanks to the rise of the more populous and much more selfless generation of millenials we'll hopefully stop and reverse the damage the Boomers have done to this country.

    Interestingly enough, when we had the derecho event on the east coast a few years ago, the power was out for a week at my WV place. The phone worked - but only for local calls. They had the backup batteries. No long distance or cell service worked.

    No, both are equally crazy/stupid, but I'm willing to take anybody's money who wants to pay me to "research" the idea.

    What's up with this "freedom" propaganda in the US? In most of the freedom indices, the US is unremarkable compared to other western countries. It is not bad, but among these countries, only the US seem to brag about it so much. I suppose it is some kind of political strategy to justify anything.

    Just like in any other country, there are fools who believe the propaganda the government pushes.

  8. If she'd been smart she would have gotten a formal copy right on the video, AND...copyright/trademark on the phrase she used "You're Filming? Bravo".....and made a fortune off this attempt to get back at someone that backfired.

    There's always a silver lining somewhere if you just will look for it, and not take yourself out of the gene pool prematurely.

    I'm pretty sure she didn't expect the video to go viral, and certainly didn't expect her spontaneous comment to become a meme.

  12. This is just a temporary measure until they come up with a better solution.

    Sorry, I don't buy that. If the problem is that some people are over-using the systems preventing others from using them, then completely disabling them for everybody while you look for a better solution is worse than doing nothing. You've turned unavailable for some people in some places at some times to unavailable for all people every place all the time.

    No, they're not. You can still use the other functions - wifi services, free calls, and maps - as the poster you responded to points out! You can't do any of those things while someone is hogging the booth with porn (or anything else).

    Well somewhere there will be a database that ties the number plate to your name and address. Actually probably several databases not all subject to the same degree of security. Then the absence of the vehicle outside said address would be a good indicator of the premises being empty.

    There are different kinds of courage. Not all are of the "risking your life" variety. I'd say that risking your job on a decision requires courage. No, you're probably not going to die, but those who made the decision (including Tim Cook) could lose their jobs if Apple loses enough money over the decision.

    I am not liable for fraudulent charges.

    Sometimes you are. I was fraudulently charged $19/month for several months by Travelocity. I disputed the charges through Bank of America, and BOA told me that Travelocity was their "marketing partner" so the fraudulent transactions could not be reversed. I cancelled the credit card, closed all my BOA accounts, and switched to Wells Fargo (the only other bank within bicycle distance of my house). I also never again used Travelocity for anything. I periodically go into the local BOA branch and steal their ink pens.

    Stealing their pens is a great form of retribution! I need to do that to the BofA that stole some of my money. If this was a credit card, I hope you never paid the fraudulent charges. Fuckwads!

    Do you have any actual evidence of Clinton's dishonesty? I keep hearing bad things about her, but when I try to check them out I don't see the support. She's one of the most honest in this campaign according to Politifact. (I don't trust their methodology enough to pick out the difference between, say, Clinton and Kasich.) However, you insist that she's less honest than Trump, a fact that apparently came out of someone's ass.

    Don't bother asking for facts. The right wingers have successfully created the "crooked Hillary" meme despite 30 years of nonstop investigations and she's never been charged with any crime.

    Actually, black people will mostly benefit from trump if he delivers the jobs he promising to give. This is why there is actually quite a lot of black trump supporters. I think they prefer to get a job from a racist than a pat on the head and a kick to the butt from a corporate terminator.

    Except for the fact that he has no plan to generate all these jobs out of thin air, except the usual trickle-down lies of tax breaks for the uber-wealthy.

  24. Because if you look at who the emails are from, according to TFS, none are from Hillary. The headline is clickbait.
