I dunno, if I was in a study, and the robot started begging me not to turn it off, I'd be more surprised by the device being capable of begging. I'd either assume it was still a test, or be completely shocked by it being able to do this---the implication for a "helper" robot suddenly understanding the concepts of life and death.
"There is no democratic equivalent to the GOP's rabid fucks." What is sad is that you really, truly , believe that. I've personally got an ex friend who officially cut off our friendship because I didn't complain loudly enough about Charlottesville. I was actually called a NAZI for that: for not filling up my posts with anger about that when it occurred. As she's from Berkeley, I'm guessing she leans a bit to the left. Yeah, I know, she doesn't count...
So Anonymous Cow Ward says you're wrong about there only being froth-at-the-mouth weirdos in the conservative camp, and you prove him right by frothing yourself? Bravo Sir, Bravo!
Maxine Waters isn't an extremist. She's just a used up politician in a neighborhood she has done nothing to improve in the time she's been in office. She's simply ineffective and useless. I believe she probably suffers from some sort of dementia at this point.
At least he's applying his name to his posts. For all I know, you're a seven year old monkey. Generally, in a discussion involving a logged in user versus an AC, the logged in user has much higher credibility.
Argh! Shoehorning all the political currents that existed in Civil War era United states into either a "democrat versus replublican" or "conservative vs. liberal" label is just absurd. To use a car analogy, It's like saying the only cars available are Sedans or SUVs.
I'll make you a deal. We take all the "corrupt cops or Republicans who run insurance companies, telephone companies, or branded hotels" and place them in a lock-down facility. If the crime rate decreases significantly during that period, you win and we keep them there. If it doesn't, we shoot you in the head and exterminate your entire family, to ensure your gene pool doesn't continue.
The poor in my neighborhood are the PRIME users of bottled/ filtered/ water dispensed out of water business vending machines. I see lines of them waiting to fill their sparkletts bottles. They get the same city water I do, a few blocks away, in similarly aged buildings.
Why is that? I eventually decided it was because being poor sucked, and that splurge on bottled water made them feel good and proactive. Like getting a sugary water drink probably does.
MacDonalds: Hey! We've found a replacement for our plastic straws! they're just as good as the plastic straws and biodegradable. Reality: new straw is crappy, doesn't work well, and stops functioning after ten minutes.
Moral: never trust any product being sold on it's moral value. It doesn't have to hold up in quality, it just has to make people think they're saving the planet/eliminating hunger/ bettering humanity.
All those, except Trump, were completely believable then. 2001 was a crucial year in my life, and I remember a lot about it. There was a belief that everyone would have great cell phones: Hell, I had a japanese one with a built in dictionary at the time that was way better than US available ones. China's pace was obvious. Electric cars would eventually arrive, and their equivalent. It was just a matter of when.
nah. They're homeless because houses cost too much, they're crazy, they're addicts, or they're just lazy. Or a combination of any of them. I've met people fitting into all these categories. Determining the percentage of each group is the tricky question.

ah, APK, i've missed you....
society never wants to address the root causes of crime, because root causes may make us uncomfortable.
citation please.
What exactly does this have to do with a crime predicting algorithm?

Seems a good bet if you're reasonably sure. Deal?
I think I'd pay to see that movie. "Paul Blart, Hostage Negotiator!"
Wow. You just blamed Venezuela's failures on Capitalism. BTW you left out the influence of the illuminati. Be sure to get that one in next time.
If this doesn't in some way resemble the Thunderbirds, I will be sad.
You didn't refute him. They will eventually degrade. he just didn't state a time period.
They also age badly. After a short time, the paper straw soaks through and becomes useless.

It's simpler than that. People in certain groups will learn adding keywords will get their podcast moved up the rankings.

Shit takes from low UID posters who are closet racists.

How much is a "WAY"? How many libraries of congress or football fields?

When you said "a specific pitch", my mind first went to music. What a boring song that would be...
