Doing that for eternity is probably what hell is really about. Heaven has to be even better.
Except you're the Supreme Being, so you can fix all the bugs in MGSV and Arkham Knight and pwn all the noobs (though I understand Michael the Archangel is internationally ranked on Splatoon).
And, you can change it up any time you want. Have the hot chicks with snacks come at 10am and answer prayers in the evening if you want. Play Xbox One instead of Playstation. Have spicy wings instead of pizza. Do whatever you want because you're the Supreme Being, dammit.
I still don't see what God would have to be so pissed about that He feels the need to send disease and pestilence to humans who didn't ask to be created, after all.
If two homosexuals were in an exclusive, monogomous relationship, they wouldn't have to worry about HIV in the first place.
It makes you wonder why anyone would oppose gay marriage, doesn't it? Like that goofball from Kentucky, says God doesn't want her to do her job and fill out the form in the county clerk's office so gay people can get married, and it turns out she's been divorced three times. Fucking hell. You have to wonder about people who read about Christ in the gospels and come away thinking, "I'm gonna go fuck over some people." I don't know what goddamn gospels they've read, but the only people that Jesus was pissed off at were capitalists who were doing business at the temple and he laid some whupass on them. Other than that, Jesus was pretty chill.
Not sure why people think that a supreme being should be warm-and-fuzzy. If you were a supreme being, would you be warm and fuzzy? Not that we should make any god in our image...
On the other hand, if 9/10 [gallup.com] people believed in something (like global warming) and you didn't want to believe in it because it didn't make you feel warm and fuzzy, would you be a denier? Just food for thought, OK?
First, we were supposedly made in God's image and fuck yeah I'd be warm and fuzzy. Why would I be pissed off if I'm the supreme being? What would possibly be worth getting pissed about?
I'd answer prayers from 10-11am every day, have some lunch and then play Playstation 4 for the rest of the day until beer-thirty and then maybe call up some hot chicks and tell them to bring snacks. Why wouldn't I be warm and fuzzy?
The fundamentalist Christian view is that disease, all disease, exists because of man's rebellion from God. This is alleged to be not so much revenge on God's part because you can't blame a fire for not keeping you warm if you don't stay near it in the first place.
I don't mean any disrespect, but God sounds like kind of a prick, you know? Creates humans in His image, gives them free will, and then punish the fuck out of them for using it. What an asshole. He's basically saying, "Stop hitting yourself" while beating your ass.
Catholics are very pro-sex. They want you to have lots of kids.
They just don't want you to enjoy it, you know? Sex is just for reproduction. All that unnecessary wiggling and grunting was making the priests uncomfortable.
Why is it so hard for people to understand that a consumer economy is funded by the consumers? That the labor and productivity and earnings of people pay all the bills? Is this some artifact left over from the supply-side economics of the '80s?
This is so completely wrong. The customers paid for a drug. They got the drug, and now the money they paid for it isn't theirs. Big bad pharma then took the money that belonged to them and paid for the research.
Let me know when the day comes that a pharmaceutical company chooses to spend money on research and not recoup it from consumers, plus profit.
It's always consumers that pay, in front or at the end, it's always consumers.
I think a big part of it is because the guys who flew RC aircraft over the years have been serious hobbyists and not "I bought this on Amazon" goofballs.
I walk my 15 year old dog near a park where a lot of these guys fly their rigs. I've never met one who wasn't thoughtful about what he was doing and respectful of others' safety. They don't fly over the kid's playground, they don't fly over the traffic on the surrounding streets. They're human beings. A lot of them bring their kids and teach them the same appropriate behavior, while getting the kids interested in a cool hobby.
Who would have predicted that a Slashdot story that mentions a woman from the 19th century would inevitably whining comments about feminism and dicksucking jokes?
Zero. It was 100% funded by big bad Pharma that you guys all claim to hate.
Wrong. It was funded by the customers of big bad Pharma.
Remember, all corporate research is ultimately funded by customers. Before you go giving them some humanitarian award. don't forget it's always the customers that pay the bill.
Reputation management also involves correcting widely-held beliefs about a company/organisation which are flat-out wrong. This happens more than you'd imagine, and work like urban legends - statements of dubious factual content passed around as gospel truth.
Then that's what you spend your marketing budget on. It does NOT mean you should hire an army of minimum wage sockpuppets to post phony reviews or pay media strategies companies to edit your Wiki page.
If you can't repair your image honestly, you're either not trying or you don't deserve the image you want. Social media did NOT change the rules. In fact, it may have made them more important than ever.
How often have you seen a Slashdot post condemn a company for something it hasn't done, only for that post to be modded +5 and accepted as an honest appraisal of said company?
In middle school, there was a guy who called me a bad name in front of a bunch of people. Everybody laughed, and it was the equivalent of a +5 mod. Through my behavior and speech, people soon realized it wasn't true. I did not hire 20 strangers to give testimony or to scream in the guy's face.
The last thing you want to do when a damaging falsehood about your company is spreading like wildfire across the internet is to sit there and do nothing, as that only guarantees it will continue unabated.
To paraphrase a famous politician, business ain't twiddlywinks. Bad PR is not an excuse for corporate dishonesty. I'm sorry, it's just not.
Apparently this dummy, Olga Khazan (if that is indeed her real name) doesn't realize that there's a difference between "hating math" and not knowing any math beyond that taught in the 4th grade. Shit, I hated math, but I went through Calculus and Real Analysis. Then I married a mathematician so that I could get my partial differential equations solved via the bonds of matrimony. You know, whenever the need arises.
If you don't know basic algebra, you're not going to code for shit. It's like that Republican legislator from Arizona, Al Melvin, who believes that doing math with letters instead of numbers is a liberal conspiracy.

I agree. It is merely a mechanism of siphoning money from those who work to those who own.
Except you're the Supreme Being, so you can fix all the bugs in MGSV and Arkham Knight and pwn all the noobs (though I understand Michael the Archangel is internationally ranked on Splatoon).

Seriously God, why all the anger?

You might want to mention that to Bristol Palin.
And if it don't move, they give it a shove and then they fuck it.
They just don't want you to enjoy it, you know? Sex is just for reproduction. All that unnecessary wiggling and grunting was making the priests uncomfortable.
Another "autonomous car" press release? Has it been two hours already?
No, they spent it themselves.
Why is it so hard for people to understand that a consumer economy is funded by the consumers? That the labor and productivity and earnings of people pay all the bills? Is this some artifact left over from the supply-side economics of the '80s?
No exceptions.

It's always consumers that pay, in front or at the end, it's always consumers.
It's not their "baby", but it's their money.

Also "autonomous" vehicles (which aren't really autonomous, after all).

You guys are just the best.
Wrong. It was funded by the customers of big bad Pharma.

Do you get all your climate science from a blogger with a bachelor's degree in geology?
Lovely.

We have found a consensus!
Is this another article about Metal Gear Solid V?
For the record, here was the entirety of my post:
"Stories about women in tech always bring out the best in Slashdot readers."
And the AC takes this as "being told how horrible we all are by you authoritarian thugs". You just can't be nice to some people, I guess.
