How did it feel to be played by Brendan Fraser in the documentary "Encino Man"? How long were you asleep for? Cause that shit has been happening for YEARS.
I didn't say computationally complex. Degrees are conceptually complex--their relation to other concepts is non-intuitive. Radians by comparision are conceptually simple. 1 radian is the angle that subtends an arc length equal to the radius. Radians are directly connected to the other properties of a circle in a conceptual manner. Degrees are not.
This is why no one likes you. You sound like a sixteen year-old who has been rejected by one girl and decided that everyone in the world is out to get him. Every sentence you write is dripping with fundamental attribution error borne of immaturity. Here's a clue: none of the people who you think are persecuting you care enough to bother. You are literally not important enough to them (no one is, really). Anything cruel they do to you is the product of indifference, not malice. That's all in your head.
Worse, you've come into a public space and opened up with these embarrassing little rants that just make you look like, well, an incredibly immature sixteen year-old. This has nothing to do with being male. It has everything to do with the fact that you think and talk like a child.
Radians are more intuitive with respect to some things, but degrees are better for discussing angles. 37 degrees is easier than its equivalent in radians,
That's just a familiarity bias. There is nothing easier about 37 degrees than 646 milliradians. They're both just numbers.
My guy? Who said Obama is my guy? I am only pointing out that people who are up in arms about what he is doing were, for the most part, completely silent when Bush did it.
Do you have source for that? Oh, no? You're just making shit up so you can unproductively slander people who actually give a shit about the problem and then justify your not giving a shit?
Fuck you. No really, just fuck you. Take your bullshit somewhere else.
The people complaining about Obama were complaining about Bush too. If you think we weren't, well, go fuck yourself.
To be fair, the parent is probably some furriner who watched all of the Great John Wayne's movies. He should be praised for this and the ignorance he has acquired should be rewarded. It's the American way.
Necessity would not work. A necessity defense pretty much always requires prevention of immediate harm. Documenting a conspiracy to commit harm does not pass muster.
It seems that a reasonable change to the law would be to allow surreptitious recording when there is probable cause to believe that a crime is going to be committed.
While the surveillance state will love this (No need for a warrant, we just need probable cause to BELIEVE), it is a terrible idea. These laws exist for a reason. Weakening the criteria is not the solution. Something along the lines of making it a civil offense might work, but the cut-off should not be changed.
You are the worst expository write I have ever seen, and I teach writing to high school kids with 3rd grade reading levels.
How about instead of making meaningless references to 60 minutes stories none of us have watched, you just tell us what the hell you are talking about.
What is in the report? What "1 bleeding to death sign"? What did the report released by the cops explain? You've answered nothing in your post.
Given how wrong you are, your sig is quite apropos.
Several of these programs date to after 2008. The rest Obama would have definitely been briefed on. Congress may not have known, but if you think he didn't you are pulling the wool over your own eyes. Just because you were in the dark doesn't mean he was. Notice how he has never claimed to not have known about what the NSA was doing? He knew because he authorized it. All of it.
These are his programs. Believing anything else is willful self-deception. It might help your cognitive dissonance, but it is ruining the country.
No, you're just easily duped. Obama is, like Bush, a statist who supports the government's "right" to imprison, torture, and kill whoever they want for whatever reason they decide.
You jest, but, incidentally, in New Mexico a large portion of the poor who would have otherwise received the peanut butter would likely be Native Americans.
No, that was not the idea of the invisible hand. It's a nice straw man but it has nothing to do with what Adam Smith wrote.
The invisible hand is just a facile metaphor for how prices are set by supply and demand. Nothing more. It has nothing to do with regulated vs. unregulated markets. Moreover, nowhere in The Wealth of Nations does Smith ever say that the invisible hand will make everything work out for the best.
Just read Winthrop's own history of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. He was pretty clear about it. The Puritans wanted religious freedom for the Puritans and none for anyone else.

Where's the -1 Petulant Millenial moderation option?
Fair point.
You need professional help. I hope you get it.

Or you could do an about-face and skip the numbers in idioms altogether.
Complaining that old idioms won't work anymore is a stupid reason to keep unnecessarily complex conceptual constructs in use.
You're mad as a hatter.
The point is radioactive != dangerous. Just as projectile != lethal weapon.
Do not mistake ignorance and intellectual incompetence for laziness. They're hard at work screwing up.
No one in my life could ever read me.
Nauseatingly arrogant? Check.
Self-righteous persecution complex? Check.
Projection of aggression onto others? Check.

Bar hoppers? What's wrong with those of us who like to drink at many watering holes?

How do those culpable enough to consummate such a transaction afford it after giving all that money to the Nigerian Prince?
If ever there was a moment to say, "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it does," this was it.

Out of curiosity, how many government watch lists do you think you're on now?
