I am against the government getting involved in most aspects of our lives, but this is flat out a case where government intervention is needed,
Hahahahahahaha. I shot some water out of my nose after reading this. You want the government to get involved because you can't install the software you want on your toy? Are you being serious?
You have a wonderful life, if not having a straw is something to "worry" about. Restaurants can use paper straws. Problem solved. Go worry about something useful.
What you're describing doesn't make any sense. You're suggesting that problems shouldn't be tackled unless they're solved in only the most efficient way possible, and if they're not, then they shouldn't be solved at all. That's kinda' nutty.
Do you have any evidence of this? We've been using Microsoft enterprise-class software (not just Office) for years, and we've never been threatened with an audit.
I also use android pay for 99% of my store transactions
So, not only do you give 3% of your money to Visa/MC, but you ALSO give Google all of your purchase information? You're a good little drone, aren't you? VISA/MC/Google love people like you!
Finally, these volunteers are doing exactly the best possible thing- capturing and neutering them all and trying to home those cats they can. The problems will quickly diminish over just one generation.
That's not true. The un-fixed cats will continue to breed. The correct thing to do is to trap, spay/neuter, and release. Cats are territorial, and if there are fixed cats in a particular territory, the un-fixed cats won't live and breed there. People who specialize in fighting pet overpopulation have been doing this method for a long time now, and it works.
The root of all of these problems is that bribery is legal in the US. I would imagine that we have probably the most corrupt government in the modern world. Make bribery illegal again, and most of these problems would (eventually) go away, because we'd have a government that represented the citizens again.
"Convenient"? In what way are these "convenient"? They save you the two seconds it takes to get your fat ass up out of the chair and turn a dial somewhere? Jesus Christ. You know what else is convenient? http://www.eatmedaily.com/word...
Eh. A large percentage of the US population doesn't care about school shootings. They just shrug and go back to jerking off with their guns. I fail to see how a game about school shootings is any more offensive than actual school shootings.
In the US, corporations, literally, have more rights than individuals do. That's just the way it is, and that's the way it will be until bribery of our politicians is made illegal. Until that happens, nothing will change.
For security reasons, I always use pre-paid "plans" with my cell phones. They're cheaper, simpler, and there's no personal information stored outside of payment information (which can be made with any kind of card).
Being as you're obviously a well-tended Google product, can you tell us if it correlates music to what kind of porn you're jerking off to, as well? I'm completely serious.
You're talking about Facebook from the point of view of a "user". You're a cow, complaining about the slaughterhouse. Nobody gives a shit. You're not the customer. They'd only be a monopoly is there were nowhere else for me to advertise. As it is, there are still tons of places to advertise.

I think that's a sign of a woefully broken society. People aren't meant to (not) interact like this. This isn't healthy.
Don't buy any brand of smartphone. Problem even more solved.
Very true. Smart phones certainly aren't necessary to most people.
Don't buy that brand of phone. Problem solved.

Who's declaring "problem solved"? That's some bizarre straw man argument you're making up, AC.
What in the fuck does that even mean? You don't think that using less plastic is a good idea if you somehow get emails related to it?

We all hate Microsoft for doing this
Do you have any evidence of this? We've been using Microsoft enterprise-class software (not just Office) for years, and we've never been threatened with an audit.
Google couldn't even handle creating a basic ISP. There's no way they're going to follow through on this.
Removing them from the environment doesn't help. They need to be trapped, fixed, and re-released.

Have some fucking dignity.

... I shrug. Our government allows private and public companies to sell or give away any and all of the information about us they can collect.
Being as you're obviously a well-tended Google product, can you tell us if it correlates music to what kind of porn you're jerking off to, as well? I'm completely serious.
It's not AI. It a fucking database. [type of person] with [interests] and [characteristics] tend to like music by [musician].
Cool! I don't particularly care about the speed increases, but it's cool to know that people are still working on these codecs. I use FLAC every day.
Last I checked, Amazon takes 30% of the selling price + 30% of shipping of everything sold. Of course they love their suckers (sellers).

Facebook pretty much does have a monopoly in that there are no serious competitors for what it does
That's not true. I can advertise in lots of different places. Local media, Google, Microsoft, etc.
