Because we don't like the idea that 30% of Americans are awful, disgusting, horrible idiots
Only 30%?
But I joke. I recognise that people have real issues and don't disparage them without trying to understand those issues and why they'd vote for an obvious braggart in preference to a continuation of everything that they perceive has failed them in the past.
Maybe that's why I didn't call them all deplorable and lose an election.
Anyone who doesnÃ(TM)t see this as a problem is retarded or is a pedo apologist.
I guess that's me, but as I'm not 'retarded' and I don't know what a 'pedo apologist' is I'm not sure where this leaves me. Is that someone that says sorry for standing on your toes? I mean, I do do that.
Meanwhile people posting those comments are making it very easy for the police to track them down and at the same time offering reasonable cause for a search of their homes. Looks like a great way to detect paedophiles breaking the law.
You need to understand that the internet was not designed as a children's playground. There are adults here and advertisers like adults and their money.
Get the fucking children off my fucking internet and everything will be much better. They can have their own walled garden full of Disney and paedophiles and the rest of us can get on with an adult world consisting of things that offend people.
Flat out wrong. Consumers are the people viewing videos on Youtube. They may or may not also be the customer.
This is why consumer protections are important, because they protect you from companies trying to exploit you even if you have no business relationship with them.
I'm worried about the amount of money other people make from my videos, over a thousand of which have been monetised by the music industry against my wishes.
this bizarre idea that something faster is automagically better
Hmm. Gigabit uploads are objectively better than anything I have at present, let alone the 3G connection my current phone is constrained to.
When you capture 170GB of video at an event and people want to watch it the next day on Youtube bandwidth matters.
I need to upgrade because it doesn't support real time ray tracing
You'd best hang on a couple of years then, current graphics card technology is not offering real time raytracing at any sensible resolution and frame rate.
My S7 is fragile looking glass all around and has survived trips to 30 countries on six continents.
It has two chips on opposite edges of the front glass that don't impinge on the screen, as a result of being dropped on a rock in the Sahara Desert. It has a tiny scratch (2mm long) it picked up when I fell in a river in Papua New Guinea.
Aside from that it's in mint condition. It's a bloody good bit of hardware.
I don't need 6 times better. I recognise that there are diminishing returns for increased investment and deem the value for money to still be worth the extra cost.
Mice last for years. Awesomeness every day for years is worth a fuck of a lot if the alternative is 'fucking hell this is shite' every day.
Then of course there's the Captain Samuel Vimes 'Boots' theory of socioeconomic unfairness.
I just attach the USB cable to my G900 when I switch off my PC and it's fully charged for next time I need to use it.
0 seconds interruption during the day and if I do get the 'Battery down to 10%' warning (once every few months) it's a 2 second operation to attach the USB cable and keep going.
I wish they'd make the thing properly removable, with some kind of connector, and then they could make money selling us new cords.
The G900 (and G903) have removeable cords.
They work when the cord is disconnected too, which is my usual form of use. It's only if I've been using the mouse extensively for 20 hours that I need to plug it back in, at which point it keeps working just fine.
Cats are excellent stress relief. Something warm and furry lying asleep on the wrist of your keyboard hand and quivering as she dreams makes all the shit in life so much more manageable.
We'll regain our independence. We'll regain control over things like trade, diplomatic relations and borders.
But I did spell out why I wanted to leave, the simple justification for it, and you still haven't understood, still haven't acknowledged that, still refuse embrace reality.
Ironic that you accuse me of failing to do so, even as you continue to fail miserably at justifying staying in the EU or indeed telling me why I'm wrong instead of just denying that I've said what I've said.
Reply if you want but I'm leaving this conversation. You're not worth listening to.
Rimworld was written by one chap and sold over a million copies. He's now wealthy and has a huge number of global fans.
You may say that's not 'a top selling game' but it isn't exactly a hardship situation.
There's a huge market and plenty of room for plenty of people to offer quality product. They also need to find a way to stand out from the vast volume of utter shit out there.
AAA games don't do this by investing in top end graphics, they do this by investing in expensive marketing.
No deal. I'll take 'no deal'. It's not a disaster, it's a blip.
I have yet to see anything approchaing a choerent argument for leaving the EU.
I don't want my country to be part of a European superstate. I don't want political union with other European countries. Staying in the EU retains the existing political union and effectively guarantees more, so leaving was the only option. Has been since the early 90s.
There, that's choerent. What I'd like is a coherent argument for staying in the EU, because nobody's even fucking considered offering one of those.
Technically suggesting someone's a cocksucker doesn't infer homophobia. Indeed, I suspect most of the world's cocksuckers aren't gay.
It instead suggests that the act of fellating a whole parliament's worth of erect honourable members would be degrading and a source of humiliation for which mockery is appropriate.
Personally I think it's down to individual choice. I certainly wouldn't want to (get sore knees or mock someone deciding that's the right thing for them).
this smacks of another EU-style shakedown, where people take the existing situation at Facebook, Google, etc, and then pass laws against it, then immediately demand them "pay their fair share" for breaking these laws
Oh? I voted to leave the EU but even I don't recognise them as having done that.
Indeed, nothing Facebook or Google have been investigated and fined for in the EU has been due to a law brought in to target either of them. Most of the laws they break are older than they are.
It's the EU. Obey its laws or don't do business there. It's not a terribly difficult concept.
Are you shitting me? Bill bitches, the union complains that the company hasn't trained Steve properly and the managers are bullying him. Mary bitches, the union complains that the Government keep changing education standards.
Meanwhile the school tries to sack that second grade teacher, gets sued for wrongful dismissal, sexism, bullying, creating a hostile workplace and treating staff as a disposable resource.
Which makes this anti-union trope both obnoxious and facile.

Theres people decrying pictures of newborn babies as child porn.
..without stopping to consider that the rest of us don't find it erotic at all.

So fuck them.
all the paid Trump propagandists
It is actually possible for real people to support the current US President. I mean, shit, he did win the election.
Maybe, just possibly, those 'propagandists' happen to be 'people with whom you disagree' and not paid astroturfers at all.
Indeed, it's the most likely explanation.
Seriously, how does a guy with a blog and an Excel spreadsheet "debunk" a months long investigation by an organization dedicated to improving safety?
By diligently understanding the data they looked at and spotting the errors they made while misinterpreting it.
Hopefully they'll learn from the experience.
For the record: The 'Holocaust' is not a lie.
Educate yourself instead of sharing your idiocy on the internet.
17.6%, the rest, are mainly from backwards 3rd-world "cultures"
So much like most of the rest then.
People need to stop mutilating children.

I haven't seen dimensions yet, but just folding along the long edge has probably killed any chance it'll fit into a pocket.
That's all I actually need; a phone that'll fit into a pocket.

Typical remain voter: You can't read properly, don't understand the argument being made and fail to address the legitimate concern highlighted.

Your proposal of five to ten years comes to 45 yo 90 years total for nine charges
Only if you run them consecutively instead of concurrently. What sort of backwards shithole of a nation would impose criminal sentences consecutively?
Are you shitting me?
Bill bitches, the union complains that the company hasn't trained Steve properly and the managers are bullying him.
Mary bitches, the union complains that the Government keep changing education standards.

Unions protect mediocrity. That's not a trope.
