This is more your inexperience talking. You can do everything possible to instil a sense of civility in your children and still have little monsters.
The problem here is you think parenting is an easy job. Newsflash: everyone who doesn't have kids thinks parenting is an easy job. Once you have your own your opinions will not be anything like they are now.
"An all girls environment is reasonably necessary for the school to improve the self-confidence of girls in their academic abilities"
No it most certainly is fucking not. By depriving either sex of opposite sex interaction you are just disadvantaging them for when it comes time to work in the real world where you won't be gender segregated. Bullshit like this really makes me think these people are idiots.
Most modern vehicles record telemetry already. That black box data can be used to help determine what the cause of an accident was. This is just an evolutionary step in that technology.
You could see it as bad, but you could also see it as making it easier to prove you weren't at fault when an accident occurs. I personally wouldn't want it, but it's the sort of thing one should examine from all sides before making a snap judgement. I'd find it particularly interesting to install in police cars. Oh, you were doing 90kph in a 50 zone with your police cruiser with your lights off? The system has just issued you a speeding ticket.
I've had a rift DK2 for nearly a year now, and this has been around for quite a while. Text is a bit more readable than it typically is in most VR games because the windows are mapped on to a curved surface. Ultimately it's still too awkward and low resolution (due to the DK2 splitting a 1080 display to show an image for each eye) for serious use. it remains a neat novelty that will make your friends go "wow".
That makes no sense at all. If I can't negotiate my own salary as part of the hiring process I don't want to work for you. Plain and simple. This crap isn't about leveling the playing field between men and women. It's about a company saying "this is what we'll pay, and it's non-negotiable".
Hopefully Reddit fires Ellen soon. This woman is delusional.
I see no evidence so far that this is guaranteed to happen. I don't see any evidence that we've even started to move forward again. What Governments are showing right now is that they can do whatever they want, whenever they want, and when exposed there are no consequences. It's really only a matter of time until they stop trying to hide it and just do it out in the open, since society as a whole doesn't seem to give much of a shit, or if they do, they're backed in to such a corner that nothing can be done at a meaningful level.
You are right that society will economically collapse again. Probably repeatedly. However this will not impact the rich, because a collapse just makes the rich slightly less rich. It impacts Joe sixpack a ton more. This is not moving forward, it's getting stuck in a loop.
For as much as we've gained, we're beginning to move backwards. Greater resistance to totalitarianism has changed to greater sneakiness in circumventing democracy. Longer lifespans and greater health, but longer work hours, fewer holidays, and lower wages.
I get what you're saying, that we can consider some of the things we've gained to be wins. However if you look at the overarching picture you'll see that developed nations actually have fewer freedoms than they did even 10 years ago.
Bleak, but not far from the truth. It has been proven time and again that humanity to not capable of its own checks and balances. If you take humanity in the context of its entire existence, it's hard to be an optimist.
If it ever goes to trial it won't matter how much money people throw at Snowden's lawyer(s). He will lose. If there was any chance of a fair trial, Snowden probably would have come back to the US by now.
All that has changed is the $60,000 electric cars are better to the point of acceptability. The $20,000 electric cars that most people could afford are still garbage.
Let's not forget that the majority of people don't buy new cars either. They buy used cars.
...and why exactly do you think people are offloading them? Because they're shitty cars that don't cover a lot of edge cases. Part of the reason people buy electrics is because of the low maintenance and high longevity. The fact that there's a large number of people trying to get rid of them doesn't speak favorably in that regard.
No, it's dead simple to wrap your brain around it. However, it just doesn't make sense to buy two cars when one car can do the job of both. This is why most people don't bother with electric. The Electric car has to be able to completely replace the gas car and in its present format (at least, for the affordable cars) it's not possible to do that.

"raising boys and girls in a home environment that teaches them to interact with each other in a civil manner"
You've obviously never had kids. The more you have, the more chaotic and uncivil it gets.
Sometimes it's not a woman either. Except now we've got quotas to maintain.

Except they're all questionable. Every last one.
Wait, WHAT? They most certainly fucking well are. Do you think these giant churches and cathedrals just build themselves?
Yes. It most definitely is still sexism. The goal should be to create equal opportunity, not elevate one over the other.
The most common problem here is that men open with the wrong question.
"Would you like some Aspirin, dear?"
"No, I don't have a headache"
"Eeeexcellent"
"Loosers"
Speaking of people that didn't get much out of education...

Holy shit, someone had an outbreak of common sense. What's the containment protocol for this? Do we nuke the site from orbit?

Feel free to keep telling yourself that.

Sure there are people driving them. They just happen to represent the vast minority, and there are reasons for that.
I'd like to see electric cars succeed, but they won't as they are now.
In 5 years I've seen a total of one leaf on the road. See? My anecdotal evidence is just as good as your anecdotal evidence.
From my repeated comments I don't like the current state of electric cars. They're either over-priced, or under-performing.
Following a highway is not a thing to brag about. Cars you can buy right now are already capable of doing this.
All that has changed is the $60,000 electric cars are better to the point of acceptability. The $20,000 electric cars that most people could afford are still garbage.
Let's not forget that the majority of people don't buy new cars either. They buy used cars.
Wow. Just, wow. Aside from the fact that these people are getting subsidised out the ass, you really present yourself as a completely clueless asshat.
10,000 people buying an electric is not making a significant difference in the face of the millions of gas powered cars out there.
