    Maybe if you had proper capitalization and spelling I would be more inclined to listen to you, but you just sound like a raving idiot.

    Has anyone else noticed how trolls, conspiracy theorists, and otherwise mentally unstable people have a tendency to use the ampersand in place of the word 'and'? Is it because the ampersand appears to be important since it's a symbol specifically made to replace an entire word?

    I picked my nose. Pretty sure that's better.

    Do you want 'a car' or a very specific car when you need a new vehicle?

  5. Forget forms, how are you supposed to keep track of all of that unless you have a disproportionate number of others in your social circle? I'm having trouble enough keeping track of the differences between bisexual, pansexual and omnisexual. Why can't people just say they enjoy sex and don't care that much about the physical gender of their partner?

  6. If your sex defines your status then we don't have the equality we keep saying we have. Shouldn't we work more towards getting THAT in order and leave gender as simply a physical trait similar to 'has two arms'?

  7. On the other hand the lawyers can't bring the cases all on their own without an injured party, so if the civilians don't see any benefit to going through the hassle of a trial (because let's face it, most of us don't have the time or resources for that just to make sure bad things don't happen to OTHER people) then we'll lose that avenue of regulation anyway.

  8. Just stopping a company from doing it AGAIN doesn't mean you get compensation for when it was done to YOU, which is what a class-action lawsuit should usually be about.

  9. Re:Utilities should not be private on The Battle for Solar Energy in the Country's Sunniest State (newyorker.com) · · Score: 1

    Why not both? Solar sources will power more than just your car, so there's already a market for that, and the electric cars are being developed right now anyway.

    This isn't a chicken or egg scenario.

    We can't get autonomous cars to 100% never crash into big red firetrucks yet, and you want us to do a refuel mission that due to the distance HAS to be fully autonomous and have millimeter precision.

    Knock-on effect as hybrids and pure electric cars phase into the overall carpool and are powered with electricity originating from solar plants.

    254 miles is NOT higher than 100,000,000 miles.

    How would you plan to refuel something that is ~150 million kilometers, roughly 100 million miles, away from your planet?

    It can also be taken to mean they won't fire anything at it to push it away from Earth because it's ALREADY pushed away from Earth.

    That's like saying a gaming console is 'unfinished technology' until the last game for it has been released.

    How is your sole-source electricity and water doing, or your sole-source school system and road infrastructure?

    Which again doesn't matter much if they're not the games you WANT to play until several years later when no one else is playing them anymore and they don't provide something to talk about with your friends.

    Just because you have access to an endless supply of French art noir movies doesn't mean you have a lot of movies to watch on Friday night.

    And at the same time we keep being told that private companies (eg. game companies and their forums for their games) aren't affected by the first amendment, and they can censor anything they want because it's on their property.

    But it's the STATE owned internet connection that is a threat to free speech, not the company owned one ... Huh.

  23. Did you seriously just say that it's better for innocent people to lose their jobs and be ostracized from society than for society to pay for a fair trial?

  24. This protest is quite literally because they don't feel Google punished him enough by not breaking the law to do so.

  25. Do their skills matter if they never have time to do their jobs because they have to wave a flag every waking moment of every day?
