  1. ...whether there is, in fact, a dead hooker in the trunk.

    He doesn't have to kill them when he owns the brothel

  2. We have a way to deal with them. Send offshore oil drillers into space and break up the rock in dramatic fashion with explosives. Saw a documentary about it once.

    Tell your friend to stop being a leech and relying on ads for revenue. Get a real job that doesnt rely on polluting the web. and annoying users. Hes a parasite if he cant live without ads, we dont need his work if they are the only way to do it.

    Does his friend run slashdot? Because you sound like you're talking about slashdot

    Or force them to ditch annoying auto-playing audio/video ads and pop-ups/pop-unders, etc.

    But they're not ditching it, they're being forced to use google ads or their ads are not seen. Google is basically saying "use google ads for advertising because our popular browser will block every ad that is not google ads." This is why the company selling the ads should not be the same company offering the ad blocker

  5. Re:What about the other 6? on Messenger Kids Advocates Were Facebook-Funded (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 1

    Even if over 50% had financial ties, if the rest didn't (6 out of 13), then I don't see an issue here as they participated willingly with no financial skin in the outcome.

    Having said that, I still think Messenger Kids is a bad idea for kids in general.

    Does that mean if over half a jury is bribed by the defendant that's ok?

  6. Re:I mean... on Messenger Kids Advocates Were Facebook-Funded (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 1

    No, I help my kids for free, and make choices that are hopefully the best for them. I would never recommend anyone get on Facebook, let alone a child. Facebook really needs to die off or something better replace it because it's been so manipulated with fake information and controlled by what they want you to see (fake news) instead of what you really want to see (baby pictures) that Facebook isn't worth using anymore

  7. But we are suppose to be underwater now if you believed what we were told in 2000. You can only cry "the sky is falling!" so many times until people stop believing you. Besides, even if this is 100% true, high polluting countries like China with 1/5th of the world's population are the countries that need to do something about it. US makes up 4% of the world's population, even if those 4% made drastic changes to save the environment it would not help if the other 96% does nothing.

  8. Re:Day Light Savings no Longer meets todays needs on Daylight Saving Time Isn't Worth It, European Parliament Members Say (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    > being robbed of 2 hours of potential daylight after work and school. What the fuck are you talking about? DST moves the clock forward by 1 hour. That means it stays light longer. The exact opposite of what you are saying.

    Right, which makes sense. What doesn't make sense is deciding the shortest days of the year should be made even shorter by falling back an hour during the winter, so instead of sunset at 6pm it's now sunset at 5.

  9. Time zone change: uniform change for all of society

    versus

    Individually changing all bus schedules, plane schedules, work schedules, child care schedules, school schedules, TV and radio programs, and so forth.

    You don't see any difference?

    What time zone change? Article is about changing daylight savings time, not time zones

  10. Has it even been proven that "fake news" is really an issue?

    Did anyone else notice that the article never mentions fake news at all? It's ethical dilemmas like autonomous weapons, not fake news, which would make adding "fake news" to the title fake news itself.

  11. Re:It's more or less still all that on YouTube Will Remove Ads, Downgrade Discoverability of Channels Posting Offensive Videos (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    but these edgy videos is what made youtube what it is today. Removing, filtering or demonetizing that content is not right.

    someone needs to make a good youtube alternative that allows all content, from adult videos to suicide and everything in between and get some of the bigger youtube people sharing content on it and promoting it on their youtube channel. I've seen women with innocent youtube channels tell viewers to visit their adult content on other sites so I know it's possible and works.

    The internet was never suppose to be owned by a few major players like it is now with Google/Youtube, Facebook and Twitter deciding 99% of what every internet viewer sees. That's why I love /. and reddit and even 4chan, some of the last outlets not owned by the major players where you can get real content from.

    How long until we can download Switch roms? Sounds like you could even have your own switch store with free roms to download straight to the device

  13. Re:Anything can be sexualized on Twitch To Ban Users For 'Hate' on Other Platforms (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Some people would be more turned on by seeing a bare foot than a full nude wearing socks.

    How is this even a thing? How do these "want to have sex with a foot" genes get passed on?

    Probably same way as the "want to have sex with same sex" or "I want my sexual organs cut off" gene

    Sexual content is whatever they say it is. Muslim thinks any woman showing more than eyes is displaying sexual content. This TOS is just an excuse to ban anyone or anything and have something to point to when they're sued.

  16. So you don't want money? on Nvidia Will Focus on Gaming Because Cryptocurrencies Are 'Volatile' (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    41% increase, and they're telling them no, keep your money? Seems like a bad idea. If I was a nvidia investor I would want to hear nvidia kissing miner butt for making nvidia so rich because surprise, mining isn't disappearing overnight. It might decrease, but cryptocurrancy is here to stay.

  17. There will always be advertisers that will support even the sickest and most depraved content. How do you think playboy got started or CNN stays on the air?

  18. Look friend, I know you like to tell your mom and dad you work in IT, but cleaning out toilet bowls in an office building does not make you work "in IT".

    Sure it is, he works IT by working In Toilets

  19. Vince Foster comes to mind.

    He was a murder victim, not suicide

  20. Re: Another douche bites the dust. on YouTube Suspends Ads on Logan Paul's Channels After 'Recent Pattern' of Behavior in Videos (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    But YouTube is not the Internet, and Google should be free to enforce whatever standards they wish on their platform, same as Netflix or Funny or Die or ABC or whoever.

    Except YouTube/Google and Facebook are the internet. They pretty much decide what everyone in the US sees and hears. If google/YouTube and Facebook remove everything you ever post you pretty much do not exist because it is hard to exist outside of those platforms.

    Aliens were never a realistic thing to be afraid of for multiple logical reasons and AI will probably never exist, so that is also an unrealistic fear.

    Zombies have a greater chance of destroying the world, but they just aren't that scary.

    Artificial intelligence already exists so how can you say it probably will never exist? You can buy artificial intelligence today for less than $50. https://www.popsci.com/amazon-...

    As if I would trust the HVAC in my home to an Internet homed device. LOL, enjoy your frozen house when you come home, courtesy of Joe Hacker, or pets killed when they overheated your house during summer.

    Exactly. And when security flaws are found do you think google will push free updates for years? Of course not. You're getting ready for New Years party and notice it's awfully cold. Check the Nest and it's set to max AC. App and Nest isn't responding, and now you're scrambling to fix it when you need to leave in 5 minutes because you're already fashionably late. I just don't trust handing everything in our lives to corporate overlords. Even when they screw up horribly lawsuits don't phase them and they never serve jail time. They could kill thousands and blame a bug or user error and walk away paying one hour of profit to the class action lawsuit

  24. Then how do you buy music? on Are Music CDs Dying? Best Buy Stops Selling CDs (complex.com) · · Score: 1

    Without a cd and CD player, you can't walk in a store, buy music, and walk out of the store with music to listen to. If they had some sort of kiosks where you could login or create an account and download music to a device that would be fine but they don't. We take for granted that everyone is suppose to have a smartphone with high speed cellular data service in their pocket and credit card linked to it so music can be bought and downloaded on the device, but not everyone has those things.

  25. Yet android users freely give google all of their text, emails, contacts, photos, videos, and location at all times. Apple isn't much better, telling users the apps they paid for and have been using for years will no longer work on iOS 11 because they have not been updated to work with the new os.
