Oh, I agree they are the most important, but they're the "standard liberal demands" that don't ever seem to get anywhere. I thought it made the list a bit broad and diluted the whole thing.
"I owe $70K in tuition fees to a high end college. My parents are ultra liberals with six figure salaries apiece. I'm in the 99% boo hoo." Well, I guess that (being not in the 1%) is probably true from a strictly technical standpoint, but I have a hard time FEELING SORRY FOR YOU.
Where ever did you get such a broad brush? I must purchase one!
1) End the Collusion Between Government and Large Corporations/Banks, So That Our Elected Leaders Are Actually Representing the Interests of the People (the 99%) and Not Just Their Rich Donors (the 1%).
2) Investigate Wall Street and Hold Senior Executives Accountable for the Destruction in Wealth that has Devastated Millions of People.
3) Return the Power of Coining Money to the U.S. Treasury and Return to Sound Money
4) Limit the Size, Scope and Power of Banks so that None are Ever Again âoeToo Big to Failâ and in Need to Taxpayer Bailouts
5) Eliminate âoePersonhoodâ Legal Status for Corporations
6) Repeal the Patriot Act, End the War on Drugs and Protect Civil Liberties
7) End All Imperial Wars of Aggression, Bring the Troops Home from All Countries, Cut the Military Budget and Limit The Military Role to Protection of the Homeland
Not sure where this came from, but it was making the rounds on Facebook. Numbers 6 and 7 seem rather "wishlist"-y, but other than that this looks roughly accurate.
I just can't see how they *wouldn't* expect a negative reaction from customers when you tell them "Now you'll have to visit two different sites, with different queues, different passwords, etc."
Well, the reaction Netflix was hoping for was for their customers to drop Qwikster and just go 100% streaming. Bonus points if they made the Qwikster website buggy and terrible in hopes of dissuading people from using it. Then Qwikster goes out of business (on purpose) and the Netflix brand is still strong.
It's obvious Netflix wants to get out of the DVD-mailing business and go streaming-only.

This is not correct when you sign up for an IPASS account, you give the toll authority your license plate numbers. If your vehicle goes through a toll and the IPASS unit doesn't work correctly, when the toll authority goes through the photos of supposed violators' plate numbers, yours will be cleared as a registered plate and they just deduct the toll as per usual. It shows up on your IPASS transaction list/invoice as a "Virtual Toll". I had a bunch of those on my statement from when I took the unit off of one car and put it on another for a week, and they didn't seem to care at all. Same regular toll price.
The summary links for a forum post that says
"Worse, the way they're sorting out motorcycles from cars is by doctoring the plate number in the system, so when they go to check your plate number, it won't come up even if it's linked to the account, and they assume that you're not an I-Pass customer even if you are."
So that's some issue with motorcycles and the way their goofy system works, and this was in 2005.
Now, since they can read your plate and determine if you're an IPASS user, and there is no penalty for not having an IPASS unit in your car if you're a registered user...why have IPASS units at all? I guess for when it's raining or the plate is obscured and they can't collect a toll by OCRing the plate?
Ostensibly, these are to be used by people with special windshields that block the IPASS signal (no idea what causes that, but maybe some self-defrosting windshields have metallic stuff in them?), but they'll let anyone who wants to order one. The reason I got them is that I like my windshield clean, TYVM.
Of course, they could get stolen off your license plate with a screwdriver, but I haven't had that problem.
Anyway, this takes care of the "camera in my car" issue.
Poor woman has kid, we pay her more, she has more kids in order to get more.
Oh bullshit. Show me one iota of proof that people deliberately have more babies to get more assistance. Do you think that assistance comes close to covering the cost of raising a child, even raising the child poorly?
Yeah, people just looooove being on welfare. It's such a glamorous lifestyle! Reagan's "welfare queen" was proven to not exist and be complete and total bullshit, as is your argument.
When its universally presented as a theory (ya know because we have no proof of a species turning into another over long periods of time)?
We have the fossil record, which makes is blatantly fucking obvious that evolution is real.
And a theory doesn't require proof, it simply requires passing test after test after test after test and still not being proven wrong. If you can come up with data that falsifies evolution (and evolution is certainly falsifiable, just show me a Precambrian rabbit fossil), please speak up.
Gone way up in a desperate attempt to avert total destruction of the country?
It's the same thing that happens to your credit card when you're involved in a massive accident (recession), have no savings or insurance (bubble will last forever! weeee!), and don't want to die.
Realize that pretty much ANYBODY can eventually be tied to something that has to do with terrorism somehow, after all the 6 degrees of separation separate you from Kevin Bacon as much as they separate you from anybody, including various terrorists.
The simple solution is to declare Kevin Bacon a terrorist; that would give the USA free reign to kill anyone on Earth!
Lots of mob bosses and leaders were executed in a manner similar to this, right inside America. Even today, snipers are used in raids on organized crime locations. This is not unacceptable : it's merely the least bad option.

Really? You're telling me that the domestic police are given shoot-to-kill orders in non-life-threatening situations? When the guy hasn't been arrested or charged with any crime?

You are the most prolific strawman-builder I've ever seen.

And, for the record, I fucking HATE troll lore. Lamest race in the game by a looong stretch. And yes, I am including Goblins in that analysis.
Pallywood anyone?
What's good for the goose...
I'm so glad I have two small children now. /s
My life is well and truly fucked.

Well, heat is essentially infrared radiation, which is "light", so to speak, so I think it would work.

I live in IL and have an IPASS on two of my vehicles (got the units about 6 months ago).
In addition to the ugly little units that you have to attach to the inside of your windshield with adhesive/plastic velcro-like stuff (UGLY), they offer "external" IPASS devices that attach to your front license plate with screws. Called a "License Plate Tag": http://www.illinoistollway.com/portal/page?_pageid=133,1392898&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL#mount_transponder

Can they make it like Cafe Macs in Cupertino? When I went there for training, it was hand-down the best cafeteria I've ever ever ever seen.
My right eye is still extremely nearsighted, though (only had one implant, the cataract was caused by prescription eyedrops).
Yikes, what kind of eyedrops? I've got glaucoma so I've bounced between Betamol and Travatan-Z a few times...hopefully those aren't what caused it?
The President won't order my death because I'm not a Jihadist. One thing is not like the other.
Yeah, says YOU. What if the President says "Nuh uh, you are too a Jihadist!"? Then what? Who's going to listen to your side of the story?
but it is capable of and fully intends to do us warfare-scale levels of harm.

Really? Retrofitting old munitions into bombs to blow up US soldiers occupying their country is "warfare-scale levels of harm"?
Let me know when AQ has killed 100K Americans (military or otherwise), then we can talk.
