Netflix gives me a huge catalog of movies and TV shows
It's not really a huge catalog. All the back-catalog stuff is gone. Now, it's a few dozen Netflix originals, some TV shows that were cancelled after a few seasons, horrible standup comedy, and a handful of terrible 90s movies.
I've been a Netflix subscriber since the days when they'd send you DVDs in the mail. The selection was bigger back then, and more varied.
Youtube is free, and is the closest to a Netflix of Education.
Ask Youtube how to do anything. There is probably a video.
And hundreds of people who are there to tell you,
A) You're doing it wrong B) You don't need to learn this, because the Earth is flat and Jews control everything C) You're a fag for wanting to learn this. And probably a Jew.
On a very serious note for CNN, having information and/or doxxing a troll is not illegal.
I'll save CNN the trouble. I am HansAssholio. I'm the guy who gave the Donald Trump giving a weak stunner to a wrestler with a CNN sign on his head meme. There. Done.
Blackmailing the troll under threat of doxxing most certainly is.
Girl, you better look up the legal definition of "blackmail".
Does CNN not realize that there is a Constitutional right to troll without facing any consequences? It's right there in Article XII of the Constitution.
Not censored, but not taught in taxpayer-funded schools. If you want to teach your kids that the Easter Bunny created the world fifty years ago, then do it on your own goddamn dime.
The US Constitution prevents anyone from succeeding at that, so that's an entirely phony concern.
Texas public schools are proof that phony religionists with a political agenda can convert public schools (and public school curriculum) into their own publicly funded religious institutions.
It's happened in other states, of course, but I'm most familiar with Texas.
Over the years I've tried Tylenol for physical bumps and bruises and it has never seemed to work. Does it work for anyone? Aspirin and Ibuprofen both seem pretty effective, but Tylenol is like taking a sugar pill.
I don't know about evil, maybe you're right. But I certainly would like to be able to choose whether or not to spend my money on a patented genetically-engineered product.
Modern GE techniques are just a more efficient method of altering the genetic makeup of organisms but fundamentally no different than what Gregor Mendel did hundreds of years ago.
My objection is mainly to the patenting of genetically modified organisms. Intellectual property rights should not extend to basic foodstuffs.
I would think that this objection would be understood by Slashdot readers who champion open source software.
If you label GE crops, but fail to give proper context, giving only enough information of misconceptions to spread, that is deceptive.
And this is where this discussion always turns Orwellian: "We can't tell people that their food is a GE crop, because they might not like it."
A label with a true fact is not deception, friend. If your product can only succeed only as long as consumers don't know where it comes from, then your problem is marketing and not labeling. If the GE corporations spent a fraction of the money they spend fighting labeling laws by marketing their items to consumers then there wouldn't be a problem.
It amazes me that people who would otherwise be free-market absolutists will suddenly decide that when it comes to food, there is some information that consumers just shouldn't have. For their own good.
Products which are GE-free are already labeled as such
No, they aren't. I mean, they can be (although in some cases, chemical conglomerates will actually sue companies to PREVENT them from labeling non-GE products as non-GE), but they are not by default.
The companies that produce GE foods want to convince the world that their products are superior, will cost less and be of great benefit to humanity. They already put labels on them. I just want three things added to those labels: 1) that the product is, or is made from GE, 2) if the company is declaring intellectual property protections on the item, and 3)which company is the holder of the patents.
Simple, right? They can shrink the picture of Tony the Tiger or whichever anthropomorphic cartoon animal they are using to sell the shit to kids just a tiny bit to make room for the new information. Or, shrink the words, "An important part of this complete breakfast" or "New and Improved!"

I just wish there was an Amazon Prime app for my android phone, like Netflix has.

In Soviet Russia, irony laughs at you.
I'm not talking about the comments. I'm talking about the videos.

Afghanistan is not on the list of Trump's immigration control thingy for some reason. And the girls from Syria and Somalia got visas, no problem.

True, but "Hold my cup of Russian hooker piss" doesn't have the same ring to it.
Trump: "Hold my beer."
Why does the fact that she's Afghani matter? Why does the fact that she's a roboticist matter?
Do any of you know if the Alexa AI has yet reached the equivalent mental age of a 16 year old? Asking for a friend.
I bet they're not True Scotsmen, either.
Oh, you're one of those jackoffs. You should have just come out with it at the beginning so I wouldn't have wasted my time.
Gee, I wonder why they don't teach critical thinking?

Yep.

Oh yeah. There are pockets of civilization along the coast and at the Southern tip, but most of the state is American Taliban.

Wait, there's a real place called "Abu Dhabi"? Who knew?
