    5 years ago this story wouldn't even have been submitted to Firehose

    Right. But in 2001, that fucktard Bin Laden went and crashed 4 planes into the US. And then that fucktard George W Bush went and overreacted to it.

    And here we are, still dealing with terrorist bullshit and western democracy pants-wetting. I don't like it any better than you do, but it is the world we live in.

    The simple fact is GamerGate is a backlash against the idea that being a normal American is evil

    Where the fuck did you pull that horseshit from?. Gamergate has always been about Ethics in game journalism. Get with the program, asshole.

    Language is a tool. Just because you're not versed in its intricacies doesn't mean that someone who is is inferior to you.

  6. Re:Wrong End on Will Advanced AI Spell the End of Lawyers? · · Score: 1

    Sadly, the one industry that actually understands the need for jurors can't encourage/recompense their workers towards jury duty. Forget any conflicts of interest, no lawyer worth his degree wants a juror with any experience in the legal field to sit on a trial.

    Trusted? I still want to know why they exist in the first place. Last I checked, most banks weren't in the business of giving away billions in added service fees to a third party.

    They act like a vagina is some sort of magic wand that can only do good things.

    That's a function of all straight males, not just SJWs, and of course they're entirely correct.

    That would be a great theory if, post-1999, Yahoo actually had the ability to threaten Google in any way.

    LOL. All of capitalism, from Adam Smith's original formula, to the craptastic pro-corporate tumour we have today, has tons of political constructs embedded in it.

    Nice fanboy wank, though.

    You know they don't have to make that 4B back this christmas, right?

    I mean, they'd like to, sure, but Disney knows how to play the long game.

    Longtime 360 owner here, and it has spent long portions offline with no problems.

    Not to say it won't try to connect and pop up the occasional warning, but turning it on and just playing games will work fine.

    The Heterophobic Generation

    I was going to give you shit for being hyperbolic but then I realized I would very much like the future to be that way. OK, maybe heterophobic is still a little strong, but a world where the human race has way more choice in sexual partners, and indeed regards those wedded to bedding only the opposite sex as fuddy-duddies would be a lot more chilled out and interesting.

    The economic benefit to those who the government picks as winners.

    Good thing you live in a democracy, eh? I mean, if you're Syrian, I'm so sorry, but this trend of westerners 'othering' their governments when they're part of it fucking baffles me.

    Most of your figures are spot on for right now in quite a few major metropolitan areas.

    That's not the bad news either. The bad news is we didn't even get a revolution out of it.

    Informing the Detroit city government what the problems are has never been the problem. Getting them to do something about it is the problem.

    Which would be a fine argument if there were not literally millions of people around the world who do amazing things daily without resorting to appalling behaviour.

    Also, the "we're better off for his existence" argument only works if you can show all the shitty alternate timelines where he doesn't manage the kernel and it sucks. Along those lines I could claim we'll never know how good the kernel could be since a giant douchebag is sucking all the air out of the room.
