    This is why I fucking hate economists. PROTIP: Just because something is economically justified doesn't make it the right thing to do. Further, we only have the one planet and just because you'd be happy to live on a brown, smoggy barren dirtball where everyone dies of cancer at 50 doesn't mean everyone else wants to.

    Even arguing from a strictly utilitarian point of view (IE yeah they'll live in a polluted shit-hole but atleast they'll be clawing their way up the economic ladder and so should experience a net gain in their standard of living) that argument completely ignores the possibility of developing clean, efficient alternatives and imposing much stricter standards wrt waste disposal where no such alternatives exist and using that clean industry to haul people out of poverty without fucking over the planet in the process.

    "This is the main advantage of ether: it makes you behave like the village drunkard in some early Irish novel...total loss of all basic motor skills: Blurred vision, no balance, numb tongue-severance of all connection between the body and the brain. Which is interesting, because the brain continues to function more or less normally...you can actually watch yourself behaving in the terrible way, but you can't control it."

    How the hell is that a troll you retarded fucking mods? Watch some Monty Python you uncultured twit. I don't want to talk to you no more, you empty headed animal food trough wiper. I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!

    Confirmation bias. You only notice the bicyclists that piss you off so you associate that obnoxiousness with all cyclists.

    Here's an experiment, next time you take out your 2 ton penis compensation mobile try actually paying some fucking attention make a conscious effort to disregard your biases and see if you can't spot the vast majority of cyclists that follow the rules of the road (at least as much as anyone else does in this country, but that's a whole 'nother kettle of fish there...). You might just be surprised...

    Hell, I don't think it's even in Apple's interest to be the only game in town for tablets, really. Competition drives innovation, pressure keeps you sharp...

  13. Re:towelie says... on Happy Towel Day · · Score: 1

    I enjoyed a few simpsons episodes as a kid, but god they're up to like 30 seasons or something ridiculous now and have been tired and sad for a long time. I'll admit I did watch family guy for a while but stopped well before it got canceled and I've seen maybe one episode of it since it got renewed.

    Honestly my TV watching is pretty limited these days and mostly consists of Top Gear, Mythbusters, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report and the occasional episode of House.

    PS Southpark sucks donkey dick

    Fuck southpark their 'humor' is puerile and barely funny at best, their constant ham-handed Aesops are a paean to the golden-mean fallacy and the show lost what little originality it had years ago.

    Because he was asking for info on getting into a warez site in a public space so he's either a moron or an RIAA trap. Also, how in hell do you get through life without music? I know that not everyone listens to music more or less constantly like I do (some people get distracted and can't get work done and a lot of people can't sleep with music going) but god, life without music sounds so dull...

    You don't know what you're missing. There are so many songs that just work better in context, both thematically and musically, and so many good concept albums out there that you're totally missing out on...

    No it's just a hellish mix of excess verbiage, inane detail and Latin (often bastardized to various degrees). Add in the fact that a lot of things fall on precedent rather than explicit law and you get a crap-ton of cases to memorize for any given field in any given country...
