  1. Untrue. Use incognito mode properly and you can cut back on 75% of the tracking. Use a VPN provider and you can cut back on 95% of the tracking, and use Tor in addition and cut back on 99.9% of the tracking. They can still find you if you seriously break the law and they put a lot of effort into it, but I'm cool with that.

    Oooh, you're such a misanthrope! What a no-nonsense kind of guy you are! PS: I'm mocking you, you little shit. Your bitterness is amusing to me.

  4. No. You should move to Somalia.

    This is called the Somalian Gambit. Anyone who wages any sort of argument against sending as much money as you can to the tax man will be scoffed at and told by some big government stooge that if they hate government so much they should move to Somalia.

    OMG, can you believe I pay a total stock load of 52% between all taxation! Wow. They should try to cut it back to like 40%.

    Pfft. You libertarians, if you don't want any government whatsoever you should just move to Somalia, I mean they don't have a government I'm sure you'd just love it there [snickers over shoulder to buddies listening in]

    Two things. First, the expected rate of return is higher. But more importantly for me it helps me limit when I buy tickets since it's essentially burning money for entertainment purposes. I only buy if it's above a few hundred million, and even then only once in a while if I think of it.

    People and groups who would tell you that pressure cookers are 'weapons of mass destruction',

    God, you're a fucking dunce. The US code definition of "weapon of mass destruction" is different from the international meaning, you god damn smug idiot.

    Then we have this gem.

    sure there is an argument that the Boston marathon bombing was terrorism

    What the fuck are you talking about? What's the argument that it wasn't, Captain Weasel Words?

    From reading your limp-wristed "analysis" I'm now convinced you are a shit-cocked little runt.

    I mock the idiocy of you thinking "hypocrite" means something in terms of international relations. What are you, 8?

    We do what is in our best interests and try to use our influence or force to get other countries to do what is in our best interests. Just like EVERY OTHER FUCKING COUNTRY.

    We will not be giving up nuclear weapons, it would be rank idiocy to even suggest it. What we should do is downsize and modernize.

  15. Re:Is there a single field that doesn't? on Science Has a Sexual Assault Problem · · Score: -1

    That's because people are dumb and we live in an era where everyone is baselessly afraid of the social network zeitgeist. It's fucking pathetic, really.

    Ray Rice's crime was between him and his wife and especially the cops. To the extent that he is s representative of the NFL a punishment is appropriate, 2 games was fine, 6 games would have been fine too.

    What's not fine is a bunch of pathetic busybodies making it out like he murdered someone and stuffed her in his trunk. I get it, people are against domestic violence - do you want a fucking cookie? He should pay for his crime but "making an example" is rarely sound policy, and "listening to the rabble" is an even less sound policy.

    I also like how the actual victim in this, his wife, is over it and married him afterwards but to "protect" her people want her husband to lose his source of income forever. Pretty sweet fucking logic, right there.

    If you don't want to use your personal phone for work, don't. Easy peasy. You could even tell a white lie and say you don't have one.

    I think the solution here is for companies to provide ca. 1995 brick cell phones to employees. "Oh, you want reimbursed? Turns out we'll provide you a phone, here you go big guy" (proceeds to hand employee a 9 oz phone with no screen). They could even not go that crazy and give out the lamest feature phones they can find. I guarantee you the whiners will be all "Oh, uhh, nevermind."

    Most humorous to me is that you think you could possibly trust someone else anyway. It would be security theater. Your data is going over the Internet and to someone else's server, then over the Internet to someone _else's_ computer. It's going to backups, possibly at both ends.

    You are a fool if you think it can be secured, and an even bigger fool if you think you can trust companies or employees not to search or read it regardless of the law.
