Well, strangely the author of TFA actually says "It can be said that being labeled a toy is necessary, but not sufficient, to become the next big thing."
Just like nuclear power and weapons were considered toys before they became big.
The trouble is, clickbait headlines always increase readership at first, until their credibility is lost. It is a very easy trap to fall into, as readership is the primary stat media is concerned with and has continuous statistics on, while reputation statistics are very infrequent.
Cancer is simply some cells growing too much. However your body can handle that, except when it's overwhelmed or doesn't have the resources to deal with it.
No, your body can't "handle" cancer. There's just a lot of failsafes, such as cell duplication limits, cell overcrouding regulation. If you're unlucky, you get a mutation that breaks these failsafes, yet doesn't kill the cell nor alter the cell's exterior proteins to the point the immune system could recognize them as foreign. Of course, lots of things can contribute to this, including stress.
So by NOT charging people for what can be a sizable amount of data usage, we're harming poor people?
Think carefully... what phone company offers a Netflix-sized data plan for $8/month? Or do you think Netflix pays them more than $8/month for you to get "free" Netflix?
But odds are, encouraging socialization (such as by giving them free phone service), especially with non-prisoners, and their family and friends, would decrease recidivism. In which case free phone service for prisoners would pay for itself a thousand-fold.
The law says that drivers yield to pedestrians, even jaywalkers. doesn't matter if they're distracted or not. In a pedestrian accident, the driver is at fault.
Easy solution. Cite the pedestrian for jaywalking. Cite the driver for failing to yield. Have them both go to court and determine who's actions were most responsible for the accident, and have that person pay the damages/suffer the penalties. If they were exceedingly reckless, or made the accident unavoidable, cancel the other's citation (eg, car-on-sidewalk, pedestrian jumping from behind parked cars).
In my state you don't have to scratch anything off to see if it's a winner. The clerk can just scan the back and tell if it's a winner.
So how do they keep people from cheating? When you buy a scratch ticket the clerk rips it off the roll in front of you.
So what is to stop the clerk from scanning the tickets ahead of time, and looting any time there is a winner at the end of the roll? (Obvious countermeasure: check for double-scanning. Obvious counter-countermeasure: keep a local cache of scanned tickets, which is checked first.)
You would notice and hear the beep if the clerk scanned it to see if it was a winner. Also I hear if you scan too many losers the machine stops working or you get a visit from someone.
Not if they disable the beeper, or put a switch on it.
Seriously, this sounds terrible from a security standpoint.
They could always have hired the company to "accidentally" destroy the phone's data, proving that encryption is evil and the only solution is to give the government every power it asks for.

Now we need to punch anyone who blinks a lot? Stupid glassholes.

In unrelated news, police agencies buy more and more drones. Not to worry though -- they assure us our privacy will be respected.
Side effects of this suit: pain, discomfort, blurred vision, depression, suicidal thoughts...

800 numbers didn't kill the "neutrality" of phone calling,
800 numbers don't substitute for talking to your friends and relatives.

People are willing to vote for Bernie or Trump because they hope this time there will be change.
The Secret Service is not going to allow guns that close to the Republican nominee for president.
Why not? They can afford to buy some bulletproof glass.
Voters, however, can (occasionally) observe hypocrisy in a candidate.
If anything would horrify our founding fathers, it would be our large standing Army and the general lack of self-reliance.
I don't know, I suspect for many of the founding fathers, it would be that we've allowed women and blacks to vote.
I think they'd be more shocked by who we vote for (we including white male landowners).

Agreed. This should be resolved via natural selection.

Heavy Social Media Users
I'm not fat! I'm just big-boned. And I hardly ever use social media anyways.
To be fair, they're talking about a bomb-related bumper sticker by an organization that opposes the US military. Food for thought, not logic bombs.
He lies 93% of the time when checked-- when questioned about a lie, he doubles down with an even bigger lie.
Yes, I do seem to recall politifact saying Trump only told the truth that one time.
