I don't remember anyone really talking about video game addiction until Everquest.
I remember talk about video game addiction back in the 80's when you had to go to an arcade. There was even a short about it on HBO about a guy whose wife and kids left him, but he didn't care because all he needed was another round of Galaga.
You are the piece of shit, scum like you deserves to have their family marched to the gas chamber. State worshipping pig fucker scum!
Butcher all right wingers. We need a civil war. Murder all families of right-wing voters.
What about all the family members who can't stand the right-wing nut in their family? You know, the nut who won't ever shut up about politics. The nut to whom you never speak because he thinks he knows everything and tries to prove you wrong about everything. The nut who actively tries to start arguments. The nut who disowns his own children because they don't share his right-wing politics or follow his psychotic Southern Baptist religion.
Yes, yes. Just like how Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld were all frog-marched out of the White House in handcuffs. Face it. Those in power rarely, if ever, have to suffer for their misdeeds. When they do, the misdeed is only the publicly stated reason. The actual reasons for it has nothing to do with the misdeed.
We need an addon that replaces the following six words after a Trump mention with "Trump".
Ex: Person accuses Trump of pandering to racists, general intolerance, and fascism
Becomes: Person accuses Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump, Trump Trump, and fascism
Well, how about eggs, sausage and Trump? That hasn't got too much Trump in it.
Yes, agencies warn tourist not to drive through small towns in the US, because cops often take your money as you go through their towns using 'asset forfeiture' as an excuse.
Odd, I thought that was something you only had to worry about when visiting some corrupt, third-world shithole. Oh, wait...
even though actual scientists like Carl Sagan are rolling their eyes
considering the man died almost 20 years ago, that would be an interesting scientific phenomenon indeed.
Sorry, I should have said "were" not "are". I was talking about the 1970s, after all. You can look, for example, at an episode of Cosmos where he discusses horoscopes and the state of science journalism. His criticism is actually rather understated and polite give how bad science journalism was then.
...is that journalists generally don't know what they are talking about when it comes to science. They live in a world of politics and history, and they often even screw those up. It is generally accepted that, as a journalist, you don't really need to know the details of something, since an expert can explain it to you.
That said, science journalism, as bad as it is now, is still a lot better than in the 1970s. Then, they really didn't know anything. That's why you get stupid articles in Time and Newsweek about "global cooling" and the "coming ice age", even though actual scientists like Carl Sagan are rolling their eyes at the stupidity of journalists.
in point of fact in 1980 when trade started with China there was massive unemployment and inflation in the USA. You could say we were on the path to poverty. Your turn, moron
The unemployment rate was 7.1% in 1980, which then rose and fell in waves. Unemployment is actually worse today than then, due to the way the government now skews its numbers. And, despite the inflation of the 1970s, salaries and wages did reasonably keep pace. Not like today where wages and salaries are pretty much flat. Try using actual facts instead of right-wing talking points. Also, kindly go fuck yourself in the ass with a rusty hand blender until you bleed to death. The world will be better without you in it.
How many times does the word "contribution" appear in the document?
It's a shakedown. That's a huge issue with the UN's "one nation, one vote". Smaller nations will vote to take from larger nations.
How many times have the larger nations taken from the smaller nations? How much shit are they having to put up with now because of the larger nations' pollution? Or, should they have to foot the bill to clean up a mess they didn't make, just because it wafted into their borders?
So past behavior is justification for taking what you can from someone who has something you want? Because that's what you're advocating.
Or maybe the First World could leave Africa to its Mugabes. Like that better?
So, what we are doing right now polluting is the past? I'm not simply talking about 19th century colonialism, or even our support of brutal dictators in the mid- to late-20th century just so we could get what we want. I'm talking about stuff going on right now. How about we actually help clean up the shit we've dumped everywhere? But, I'm sure you'll disagree with that, too. It's clear that you are firmly in the "I've got mine, so fuck everyone else!" camp.

If you like "red alerts", get ready for the "the threat level is orange; the threat level has always been and will always be orange" 3.0: DHS just announced a new threat level alert system.
It's a total madhouse here! We're on red alert because of the smog. A klaxon keeps blaring, while red lights keep flashing at every street corner. In Tianamen Square, the large portrait of Mao Tse Tung, which has a speaker set behind the mouth for such occasions, keeps shouting out (translated from the Mandarin): "This is a red alert! This is a red alert! Stay in your homes! Stay in your homes! Long live the Glorious Revolution!"
blah blah blah, you'd put over half the U.S. population into poverty since they wouldn't be able to buy things to meet their basic needs, as they are made in China. You point of view is not actionable, it is stupid
Yeah, because over half the population of the U.S. was in poverty before we started importing cheap goods from overseas. Idiot.

Clearly there could be the rise of a charismatic egomaniac who preys on the fears and hatred of the conservatives, making groups out to be the scapegoats (Muslims, gays, immigrants... at least it's not Jews this time around). Everything Trump says about these groups are the same things that Goebbels and Hitler were saying about Jews. We are witnessing the rise of the radical fascists Europe had to deal with 80 years ago. How in the hell are people so damn fucking stupid not to learn from history?
Simple. Americans don't learn history anymore. Especially Republicans. They call history "revisionism" and, if you are well-versed in history, you are called an "elitist".

Newspeak
This "article" is not even news . . . it's a rant in a blog.
A new low point for Slashdot.
You must be new here.
I suppose to Kim Jong Il that's an obviously-true statement. Well, when one can't just shoot the source of the offensive speech, anyway.
Wait, Kim Jong-Il rose from the dead? Man, no wonder those North Koreans think he's a god!
Hillary the soon to be indicted felon?

It's such a third rate article. Why is this even on Slashdot?
Odd, I thought the question was supposed to come before the answer.

Karoke is a serious crime, and must be stopped by any means.
Although, it could have been worse. They could have been a gang of mimes.
And it is also not life.
Says you, ugly bag of mostly water!
That's old news from a long time ago.
And who wants to meet Jar Jar anyway?
Probably Yo-Yo Ma or Boutros-Boutros Ghali. They'll all have some Mahi-Mahi.

"there is no doubt that the Muslim religion uses violence as a core competency"
None of the Muslims in my office have ever tried to kill me. Are they just slackers?
Well, if they are like you, then they are posting to slashdot instead of waging jihad. So, yeah, they are jihad slackers.
It's awful what hate and fanaticism drive people to do.

No, that would be for people still using VI.
