  1. Brit Bongs are funny on Will A No-Deal Brexit Void 340,000 British-Owned .EU Domains? (theguardian.com) · · Score: 0

    These Brixiteers really are ridiculous people.
    The UK in particular has spent the last 20 years sending literally their shittiest asshole politicians who were either too incompetent or corrupt for meaningful work to the EU for representation.
    They have, at every single turn, sought to disrupt the EU for doing much of anything.
    They spent 20 years doing this shit.
    Now, after all this time of trying to fuck everything up, they bitch that things are fucked up in the EU. Of course they are you idiots! You spent the least 20 years doing your best to fuck it up.
    Then, the assholes vote to leave. On top of that, they cry like little bitches that the EU is not bending over backwards and giving them whatever they want.
    The UK seems to believe they are still a global power. News flash. Your not.
    Nearly all your exports are to the EU, as are much of your imports. You are completely fucked and you deserve to be fucked.
    I hope it's a no deal and we get to watch you tear yourselves apart. But hey... don't worry, I am sure that "extremely fast deal with America" will be forthcoming.

    Hey.. remember how you said you would spend all that EU money on health care, but actually you didnt spend any of it on health care? Because you are lying fucks who only want to break shit.

  2. It's just a freakin laptop on Prioritizing the MacBook Hierarchy of Needs (sixcolors.com) · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Seriously, how hard must their lives be that they are dedicating such an absurd amount of time making a dream list for a crappy laptop and then publishing this list for other fanbois to pine over.
    Why don't you just do what normal people do? If the product is crap, buy a different one rather than writing love letters about it.

    Apple fanbois really are a different sort of person.

  3. I would rather connect to a new Web on OneWeb Wants To Rebuild the Internet in Space, Connecting Billions Not on the Web (cityam.com) · · Score: 1

    A new Web would be a better idea. One that the government has not broken. It would be only a matter of time before they got their greedy little hands on a new Web too, but at least for a while, the internet would be the internet again and not just a government run collection racket for music and movie industry.

  4. death throws of a once great nation on Intel Kills 5G Deal With China's Unigroup Over US Security Concerns (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Seriously, the US has offered zero proof regarding allegations of Chinese spying on the US, or indeed anyone else via cellular network equipment. None.
    Even the UK, which has been walking the line as the US's little lap-dog bitch has said.. yeah, there is no proof that Huawei is doing anything wrong.

    And, likely they are not. This is simply the US trying to prevent China from becoming a technological competitor. They are simply trying to use force to ensure they stay at the top of the dog pile.
    The US has already promised countries they can expect huge economic losses should they use Chinese products. Basically telling them that they will be blocked from the US market. Possibly additional tariffs.
    What we are seeing are the death throws of a once great nation. Sad.

  5. Republicans don't seem to care at all about this, since the russians helped their team win.
    I thought they were the "our guns protect your freedom" patriots who love 'murica so much?
    Small minded Republicans, ask yourselves, why would Putin want Trump to win? Is it because he loves you and loves 'Murica?
    Maybe, just maybe there is a different reason. Maybe he knows something you don't.
    Of course, should the democrats win in the next election, I am pretty sure the world will hear you screaming your disingenuous little hearts out about how the Russians hacked the elections and how the results are not valid and blah blah blah. Why? Because you are pieces of shit who don't care about the US, or the world at large. You only care that your teams wins, regardless of what it costs every other person on the planet.

  6. Don't worry about on Africa's Black Panthers Emerge From a Century in the Shadows (nytimes.com) · · Score: 0

    The poachers in Africa will kill it soon enough.

  7. Meh, big deal... on China and India Lead the Way in Greening (nasa.gov) · · Score: 5, Funny

    USA leads in climate change denial. Take that, nature!

  8. Jailing doctors and big pharma on Alphabet's 'Verily' Plans to Use Tech To Fight The Opioid Crisis (cnbc.com) · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Seriously, how are these doctors and phama guys not in jail?
    Why are they prescribing opioids for everything in the US? I friend of mine got her wisdom teeth out and she was prescribed 50 opioid pills?
    When I got mine out in Europe, I was given ibuprofen.

    It seems clear that your doctors are given kickbacks from big pharma in order to get as many people addicted as possible. The doctors, in this case, are government sanctioned drug dealers and pharma is Columbia.
    How is this accepted by you guys? Why is it OK? Something, something freedom?

  9. Nothing at all to do with money on Attacking a Pay Wall That Hides Public Court Filings (nytimes.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    They don't care about the costs... at all.
    They do care about controlling access to information. Every authoritative government knows that the rule number 1 is to limit the knowledge and information your subjects can access. They should only have access to government approved messages.

  10. Why does it need to be for profit? on Is California's PG&E The First Climate Change Bankruptcy? (marketscreener.com) · · Score: 1

    Why can't it be a public service?
    Why do private companies need to make huge profits? They are using public resources to do it. Public lands. Our rivers and our lakes.
    Why does someone need to profit?
    You can see the outcome. When a company is only profit driven, they will do everything they can to lower costs. That means, layoffs, lack of maintenance, substandard components and all the rest of it.
    In the end, we, as the consumer still pay out the ass for the power they generate, much of which is subsidized by the government anyhow.
    So, why not just have the state take it over?
    Then there is no "coal industry" to own local politicians and change laws to allow the maximum pollution possible. There would be no incentive to pollute since the state would just have to pay to clean it up anyhow.

  11. .."even if Beijing requested it".
    So far as I know... they do not "request" anything. They tell you to do it, and you do it. Unless you are keen to see family members vanish.

  12. Re:Why buy one? on AMD Announces Radeon VII, Its Next-Generation $699 Graphics Card (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Why? What is so bad about them relative to say, Intel?

    It would be hard to argue their cards are crap, considering it's not possible to buy something faster.

  13. I mean, if it is supposedly "competitive" with the Nvidia RTX 2080, which means.. almost as fast and the same price as the Nvidia RTX 2080, why would you not buy the Nvidia RTX 2080?

  14. What, again? on LG Introduces Rollable OLED TV (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

    They showed the same thing last year. They also said it will be released in 2019. So, why is it really "news"?

  15. Re:Western problems on 'Amazon Prime is Getting Worse' (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 1

    I normally try to buy local. When the price is reasonably close, I will, but when the net is 30% less, then I do buy online. Very often I find the Amazon price to be much higher than in other online shops or even my local stores.

  16. Re:Professional unemployed class on The First Basic Income Experiment in Germany Will Start in 2019 (basicincome.org) · · Score: 2

    Why? They literally are parasites.
    That is what they do. They get a rental contract with the help of the H4 office with zero intention of ever paying a cent. They know all the tricks.
    A friend of mine took 1 year to get rid of a renter. She had not worked in 6 years. Every time her H4 was about to end, she would get pregnant again.
    She would never clean, she would neglect the babies. She was and likely still is a parasite. Living off others work while she does nothing to survive.
    There are many, many such people in the social system.
    This is because they are allowed to collect money without any behind it. There are many tasks which can be done. Cleaning parks, caring for the elderly and these kinds of things which are paid for with tax money.
    Why should people who are able to work not be given these tasks in exchange for money?

  17. Professional unemployed class on The First Basic Income Experiment in Germany Will Start in 2019 (basicincome.org) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Germany already has a professional unemployed class who collect "hartz 4".
    These people already know all the tricks to keep getting their benefits and to rarely pay rent and not get kicked out.
    If you are a property owner in Germany, the first rule is NEVER rent to a person on H4. While they are on H4, you are paid by the unemployment center. If the people get a low paying job or a part time job, then they have to pay you and not the H4 office. Which means you will likely never see a cent.
    Then, since they are on H4, it is almost impossible to get them out of your building.
    Even if they are literally destroying your building, you still need to start a long and costly legal battle which can take months to finally get them removed.
    Then, the parasites move to the next victim.
    Are there people who need a helping hand? Of course. Should we, as a society help them? Of course.
    But we also need a common sense way of doing it. Why are people allowed to just keep popping out more and more babies so they never have to work?
    I know many people who took a chance on H4 people and nearly every single one of them got totally screwed over for trying to help them out.

    The only thing more money in their pockets will do is let them buy more stuff. Which I guess is great for the local liquor markets.

    Seriously, if lab grown "meat" is able to replace the majority of animal meat in terms of safety, taste and nutritional needs, then what's the fucking issue?
    No...we better keep cutting huge swaths of forest to graze cattle so I feel a little better about what I'm eating. Better to keep risking those Chicken and Pork viruses which pass to humans because Jesus told you in the bible that you cannot eat lab grown meat... Hint, it doesn't say that.

    I seem to recall, quite recently in your past in fact, y'all committing crimes against humanity. Japanese prison camps anyone?
    Torture at GitMo anyone? Starting the conflict in Syria then acting like you're good guys? Iraq? Iran? Afghanistan? You just love to stir shit up break things and then tell everyone else how shitty they are.

    BTW, I am not sure if you know this, but Germany often bans games containing Nazis. Shall we "build a wall" around them?
    You trumpkins and your fucking walls.

    Since you're 'Murican and lack critical thinking skills, consider that is known by everyone else... closing off exposure to western culture is actually NOT the way to influence change within a tightly controlled regime.

  22. When will they learn? They keep trying to make these Windows lite OS versions. What happens? It confuses the hell out of everyone because they think they are buying Windows and can run their Windows programs, but instead its some crap version which cannot do anything.
    At that point, why in the hell would anyone buy it? Why not get an iPad or Android device where one can actually buy apps?
    But yet, they just keep trying and trying.
    Stick to "real" Windows MS.
