    Greece probably can apply for EU green energy loans or something.

  2. I don't care, just hands off my internet on Streaming TV May Never Again Be as Simple, or as Affordable, as It is Now (sfgate.com) · · Score: 1

    Families will have to decide between paying more each month or losing access to some of their favorite dramas, comedies, musicals and action flicks.

    Don't watch and don't care about any of your crappy drama and musicals and action flicks. Don't care about your subscription prices because I aint subscribing to your Netflix or DisneyFlix. Just keep your grubby greedy hands off my internet connection. Don't jack up my internet prices and don't kneecap it with speed restrictions or download limits.

    I am not the world's biggest fan of Elon Musk (to say the least), but I really truly do hope he succeeds spectacularly with his satellite internet project so greedy corrupt piece of shit scum that need to die a slow painful death (telco and cable companies) don't get to keep wielding monopoly powers over my internet connection.

  3. Parts of the world will be excluded from the internet

    That makes it sound like some evil entity is actively denying these people access. But is anyone actually doing that?

    Being too poor to afford something or not being smart enough to do something is not the same thing as being excluded from these activities. I like airplanes and would love to build my own kit plane, but I'm not smart enough or skilled enough to do that. Am I being excluded from aviation by evil priviledged oppressors?

  4. All the vegan men can enjoy their expanding man boobs.

    Only pale face crackas get man boobs from eating soy.

    East Asians (Chinese Japanese etc) have been eating soy for thousands of years, so their bodies have adapted. They can (and do) eat tofu and soy sprouts every single day for decades -- not exaggerating -- and they do just fine. No man boobs and no hormonal suicidal depression or any other problems.

    On the other hand, pale face crackas have only been eating soy since the late 20th century, so their bodies have not adapted and they can get some weird side effects. Kinda like how Native Americans couldn't handle liquor when Columbus first arrived.

  5. why do these even exist? Are there deep mysteries about gender and race that we struggle to understand? Or are we just trying to justify the need for useless paycheck collecting parasites at "academic institutions"?

  12. I'm not against *proper* acronyms. BTW and SJW are properly made. What I'm against are bad acronyms that do not adhere to the rule I explained in my original post.

    it should've been named WOOB from the beginning anyways. It's an acronym, right? Acronyms are supposed to take the first letter of each word in the name. Web Out Of Brower. WOOB.

    WEB-OOB was a stretch and I don't like it when people stretch things to make clever-sounding acronyms. Yeah I will never join the US military, their acronyms will drive me insane. BTW this is not even about SJW, I have no social agenda to justice-ize. I don't care if you have boobs or tits or whatever in your source code.

  15. When things get bad enough, you will see a convergence of leftist and right-wing forces come together. Look at France; the yellow vest protesters burning Paris at this very moment are composed of both far left AND far right. The ruling class has become so hated that the urge to remove them from power and blow them all to hell has become greater than whatever ideological difference exists between the two factions.

  16. "The American multinational companies made millions and millions of dollars from globalization"

    Billions, not millions.

    "Where did it go?

    To officers and shareholders of the corporations, i.e. the "elites".

    Some of it dribbled down to the workers in China and Vietnam in the form of slave wages, but not all that much. None of it went to American workers, because they're not using American workers. But hey no problem, just get 'em on food stamps and tell them to live in section 8 housing. Who needs a middle class lifestyle?

    But it's gonna backfire on them sooner or later. I foresee a socialist revolution in the making, led by the likes of Ocasio-Cortez. Well not by her specifically, I don't think she has the ruthlessness or the balls to become the next Lenin. But someone in her orbit who does have what it takes to be a good dictator and who isn't afraid of executing a few thousand members of the opposition.

    Do I want to see such a thing happen? No, not really. Soviet Union, Cuba, Venezuela etc. weren't exactly pleasant places to live. BUT ON THE OTHER HAND, the current rulers of USA (a.k.a. the Deep State) are such despicable characters, it would feel really good to see their billions wiped out and the high and mighty former CEOs and directors and senators become penniless, and then summarily executed 1918 style.

    Yeah it's funny when Google is messing around with Microsoft and deliberately making Microsoft products run slower. Microsoft is simply getting a taste of its own medicine, as they used to deliberately make things broken in IE6 back when they had the dominant browser.

    Environmentalists already want to humanity to exclusively eat insects and pests

    Yeah it's a stupid idea.

    They also advocate for the reduction of 90%+ of earths population. Think the people that remain will include you?

    In every nation and human culture that has ever existed that I know of, murder is illegal and highly frowned upon. So yeah, I think you (in the generic sense) will remain.

    It's very easy to reduce the population without resorting to murder. Just sterilize newborn babies. Lots of people in developed countries voluntarily undergo sterilization. Often they pay for the procedure out of their own pocket and have it done to themselves. So it's hardly a cruel or unusual practice.

    Now in addition they want to take away the ability to build buildings and roads from concrete

    Another stupid idea. All the "carbon footprint" bullshit in the world is meaningless without population control. You can drive a Prius and eat tofu and insects and live in a mud hut that you built yourself, and all that means absolutely nothing if you pop out a bunch of babies. On the other hand, a guy who drives a 4x4 gas guzzling SUV and lives in a McMansion who decides to have no children will be much better for the environment than the Prius-driving vegan with multiple babies.
