  1. Re:This is good news. on Japan's Population Falls At Fastest Rate Since 1968 · · Score: 1

    Actually the population of Tokyo(as well as surrounding prefectures such as Kanagawa and Chiba) is actually increasing, but that won't last forever, the countryside is running out of young people to send to Tokyo. Now why the Japanese government doesn't give 2 fucks about how bad the economy is outside of Tokyo is beyond me

  2. Except its not that simple, fat is not an inert tissue(which is why people who lose weight can never return to their old eating habits, even if they were at equilibrium before trying to lose weight). So every pound of fat will consume a certain # of calories every day for upkeep(the younger and well maler you are the more that number goes up). So while you will consume 17500 or so more calories, you won't actually gain 5 lbs of weight, you will gain something less, but thats much harder to accurately quantify.

    I mean, I know you are a Republican and thus dimwitted and gullible, but even a Trumpanzee can at least use a keyboard. Maybe next time think before opening your mouth(other than perhaps to stuff opioids in it)

    Yeah, because as we all know Obama inherited a great economy and Trump a crappy one...oh wait thats right, reality is Republicans greatest enemy. There is a huge difference between policies enacted by a president and the fallout from that vs the conditions of the country when said person became president. If there were massive #s of terrorists from these countries in the US currently then yes you could blame Obama. But us grown ups like to live in what is called the "evidence based world". You should join, then you can see what a insecure clown Trump really is. I mean ALL HAIL THE GREAT AND GIGANTIC PENISED TRUMP!

    Yeah...you do realize that most sex workers who are doing so voluntarily don't have a pimp, they have the internet. Safer and cheaper

  7. That's actually what motivates a lot of western terrorists. Look at most of them(Al-waki, the Nice terrorist, the Charlie Hebdo guys, the Orlando shooter, the list goes on) and you will find that most of them lead very "sinful" lives before "finding" religion and then committing terrorist acts

    The religious leaders convince them that they aren't at fault for "succumbing" to sin, its the fault of society for allowing them to fail in the first place, thus the "logical" conclusion for them is to attempt to change the society so it won't allow such sin in the future by installing Sharia law. First step in doing so is obviously killing as many infidels as possible....

    Taxation for one(theoretically they could adjust the price accordingly, but there is only so much a person is able and willing to pay for sex). That's why most sex worker advocates are for decriminalization not legalization. Legalization means they would have to pay taxes.

    Apparently the recall isn't worldwide. Samsung Japan for instance still has the Galaxy Note 7 on its front page and nary a mention of a recall. Not sure if thats because the phones shipped to Japan don't have the defective batteries or if they aren't pulling anything until forced to.

    Yes, I am on occasion forced to use MS garbage and I just laugh my ass off every time I do. It's so insanely primitive compared to it's competitors, and buggy as hell to boot. The sheer # of bugs I uncover after just 5 minutes of Windows use is fucking hilarious. Don't even get me started on the shitfest that is Azure, Amazon doesn't even give 2 shits about Azure because it is such a buggy, unreliable mess. Randomly rebooting my web service? Pure brilliance MS, how did you know I wanted that "feature".

    C# is also a muddled mess of a programming language, grow up and use a real language that is supported by open standards and doesn't constantly contradict itself.

  15. So MS is basically bailing on the phone business? on Microsoft To Lay Off Another 2,850 People In the Next 12 Months (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    What a shock, MS is bailing on the phone business, i.e. an industry where their bully monopolistic practices were useless and they had to rely on their shitty, shitty code, interface, and business practices to compete with competitors who actually know how to make software that isn't a steaming pile of shit. Shocking! But of course, MS won't reverse course on developing shitty bug-ridden software, they have trademarks to protect after all.

    I'm always amazed by the consumer who thinks that he can demand production and enjoy the benefits of other people's capital.

    I'm always amazed that people think their "capital" has any sort of meaning unless the mass of society can benefit from it. Guess what, the only thing preventing the masses from stringing you up and taking your capital is the basic social contract that allows you to get rich as long as standards for the masses don't fall too far. You violate that social contract no amount of funny money or gold bars or factories is going to save your head from getting blown off as the police officers and military you depend on to live find it expedient to slay you.

    I must be missing something. Iraq got invaded for far less, and it was later shown they didn't actually have shit.

    That's precisely the reason they are developing weapons. Dubya's "War to Avenge Daddy" showed dictators that if they cooperate and disarm, then they are going to end up like Saddam did, dead. Of the "axis of evil" countries, Iraq had by far the weakest military and the fewest weapons, and guess which one got invaded? The man child has fucked up the world for generations to come, and any dipshit who voted for him and supported his attempts to play army man have to take responsibility for the current situation in the middle east and North Korea.
