No. Going to a movie theater is an experience thing as much as it is seeing the latest movie. I couldn't care less if I wait a month - or a year - to see a title I'm only moderately interested in. If I'm dying to see it, or I want an experience other than sitting on the living room couch, I go to the theater. I would rather that NOT change, and it wouldn't change for me regardless of when the movie is available.
If you're an American tech worker, your assets are your creativity and ability to think outside the box; to offer solutions nobody thought of, or be flexible while navigating difficult waters.
This statement: "In fact, the question is whether someone who promotes opposition to gender and racial equality should be allowed to serve as a steward for a company whose stated mission is to connect the world."
Complete crap and hyperbole. The person who did this write up "thinks" that Trump promotes those things. That doesn't mean he actually DOES support those things.
Way to go Zuckerberg - I was beginning to think reasonable people didn't exist on the left anymore.
You're absolutely right. The Establishment isn't working and hasn't worked for a while (except for themselves). Time to move away from it in any way possible.
Indeed... Russia pulls off the hack of the century by USING THEIR OWN SERVERS (INFINITE LOL). Yeah, they didn't have the foresight to spoof it or use VPNs, LOL.
The obvious appeal to women, feminists and the faint-of-heart is rather laughable. If an 11-year-old snippet of a guy bragging about conquests with women is her best attack, she has a LOOONG road ahead of her. It did absolutely nothing to phase me or the peeps I know. (Don't get me wrong, I think he said and did some dumb things, but so have I in my lifetime. In context to Hillary's mistakes, what is worse?)
The issue is she side-stepped the question by trying to divert attention to Russia (which, by the way, those accusations have no factual backing yet).
The real issue is she is exactly what you expect from an entrenched politician - someone who says what people want to hear and does whatever she wants when she thinks nobody is listening, and panders to those who can offer her the most.
I can only see this being useful if watching tutorials, documentaries or other "learning" videos where the point is gathering information, not enjoyment.
As others have stated, if I watch something on TV, I want to relax and enjoy it, and increasing the tax on my brain has the opposite effect.
I also make it a point to not watch so much TV/video that this makes much of a difference (in time spent/saved). Perhaps some people watch that much video - in that case I would suggest some life-balance and perspective.
That makes sense. If photons, from the big bang, are continually moving outward, they are bombarding things and basically pushing them along the way, at a continually accelerating rate (the speed of light, at which most photons are moving). No need for dark energy there.
What we have here is a new version of the solar sail! Hear me out.
The device bounces photons back and forth within the cone, effectively either a) "slowing" their speed (the speed of light), or b) at a minimum, altering their direction. Surrounding environmental photons, however, continue to travel in the direction they already were. The cone shape provides a larger area, or "net", at one end to catch more photons moving in that direction, which then push the device in the direction they are traveling as they collide with the slowed/altered photons.
If this is correct, theoretically this device could reach the speed of light!
I might be way off, but I hope someone much smarter than me, with many more resources, looks into this further.
Also, just so you know, the CO has always been here (on Earth). We are just releasing it from it's "grave." Bringing ourselves back to an earlier point in Earth's history.
^ Yes, these idiotic suggestions. We need real solutions that work for the US, not solutions that work for Europe (MUCH different geography, composition, etc.).
I specifically say we should take care of the environment. My point is, focus on what's actually wrong and/or important, not STUPID political agenda items like Global Warming.
I can't stand this anymore. Global warming, blah blah blah.
Do we impact our environment? Sure do! Should we take care of the Earth? Absolutely!
Do Solar Cycles impact climate change more than humans? DEFINITELY (thousands of times more)! Does natural ecosystem participants (algae, rot and decay, animals, etc.) impact climate more than humans? You bet they do!
We think we are SOOOO important. The Earth is a lot tougher than we are - it will be here long after we are gone. While I think its a good idea to take care of it, I do not think that we are the major players in climate change. Not even close.
Don't even worry about global warming. The real issue is the Ozone. We lose that, we are SCREWED!! Earth = Mars

This echos what I've been told.

You get very little, if any, of that over seas.

Brexit was the best thing to happen to Europe in the last two decades.
They predicated "total and immediate economic collapse." Still hasn't happened.
Yes, extremist views were involved. But it would be naive to think there aren't extremist views on the other side as well.
Well said.
"It's reality tv masquerading as politics"
This has already been happening for years, decades even.

"he continues behaving erratically, obnoxiously, and ultimately in a self-defeating"
If those are his worst offenses, sign me up! I've known many good leaders who were rather erratic and obnoxious.

I guess everyone is different. If I'm really into the movie I almost always think it was too short.

Where have we sustained the largest amount of life lost? To accidents or to "dastardly deeds" (evil)?

Hooray for cycles!

Since when is this not EXACTLY how the scientific process should work?
I'll verify a hundred times before blind acceptance any day.
That's actually a complete lie. Do some research on how Humanity was pulled out of the Dark Ages - the answer might surprise you.
Nonetheless, many people on this planet miss those dreadful times.
You mean the planet is still warming up (recovering) from an ice age? Inconceivable!
Fear not gentle denizens, another ice age is coming! Then the faithful climateers will rejoice!
We are all going to die from Global Warming!!
Oh and I missed that you're an expert in Solar Cycles! Good thing they are so easy to predict!! (HAHA)
Wow, ignorant and upset?

MORON. (See I can do that too :)
