  2. "I'm not much of a conspiracy theorist" on Why Google Wants Your Kid's SSN · · Score: 0

    I'm not much of a conspiracy theorist by disposition, but doesn't "these last 4 digits were not entered into our records and will be safely discarded," sound like a contradiction? (How can they delete something that is not in their records?)
    I'm glad you asked Bob, and the answer is quite simple through this demonstration.
    What we have here Bob, is an Parental Consent form. As you can see it does indeed
    contain the 4 SSN digits. What we are going to do next is pivotal.
    What we are going to do next is shoving the form, made from paper, into your big mouth.
    And after we managed to shove it down your gullet, your stomach acids will render the data useless.
    That's right Bob, paper forms need to be entered into systems. They do not enter themselves.

    ...in his Facebook profile, my client clearly states that his shlong is 20 inch long and always ready for action. This would make it impossible to be the person seen, and I quote: "running away from the heist carrying the stolen device". His anatomy would not allow rapid locomotion as witnessed, your Honour.

  7. Re:Damn academics on Scientists Work To Grow Meat In a Lab · · Score: 1

    You seem to ignore my jabs at the ecological impact of the meat industry as well as the financial and political ones.
    I wonder why.
    Although I must agree that the emotional (oh poor Bessie21 is slaughtered) argument is easily discarded, which might offer the sense of a quick victory.
    That is, if you ignore the other arguments.
    The 'shoehorning the brushed heifer' was a mere cosmetic additive to add some color to the whole argument and I feel that the argument can still stand without it.

    The negative impact the meat industry has on the environment goes beyond just the product itself (something I was hoping to relay but failed with you).
    Labmeat might offer a way to shrink the sphere of influence the meat industry holds, the moral involved is just a nice additive.

    But perhaps you don't care, like 90% of the world, in which case you don't have to counter ANY of my arguments.

    You said it!
    There is so much more money to be made growing the soybeans for the livestock.
    Just a little investment paying corrupt foreign governments to chop down some rain forests to grow acres of the stuff adds so many more opportunities to make a nice profit.
    And the livestock itself? Just claim it's all stalled in green free pastures and is costly, while in fact we have to shoehorn them out of their boxes for slaughter.
    You point me one meat eater who can taste the bruises and I'll show you a lair!

    Labmeat.. pfff. You can't make a profit with that stuff. It's too clean. No room to swindle a profit out of it.
    No need for expensive pastures, chemicals instead of food. That shit fits inside a skyscraper!

    But don't you worry Sir, the meat industry has deep, DEEP pockets. We will make sure you'll never have to see lab-meat as long as you live.
