as the car is driving down route 101, do you honestly expect the computer onboard to STOP the car, right there? in many cases, there is not even a pullover (lay-by) lane.
Where does 101 not have a pullover lane? I'm trying to remember the entire length, and I thought there were at least bike lanes the whole way.
The ones who have earned money give it to those who haven't, in exchange for--what, not killing them?
You don't think that's a good deal? Your life isn't worth the little bit of taxes you pay?
I'd say you're getting off cheap.
See, here's the thing: There are a hell of a lot more people who are poor than those who are rich. In fact, our very economic system depends on there being a lot more poor people than rich people. It's by design. If there were no poor people, then how would rich people know they were rich?
When economic inequality and systemic inequity reach a certain boundary condition, there is most certainly a danger to those at the very top. For centuries, the threat alone was enough to get the elite to periodically behave a little better and make things a little more equitable. The New Deal was the last time that happened. But now, the mechanisms of control are much more powerful and by dividing poor people by race, ethnicity, etc, the elite have been able to avoid danger.
So history tells us it's now time to make our elite afraid again. That doesn't mean mass executions, but general strikes, worker organization, and social gospel did the job last time. A few well-placed high-profile executions could also do the trick, but it's worth trying the peaceful approach first.
I share your criticism of Facebook employees, but at what point do they cry about being special and unique, warranting a "snowflake" insult?
For a certain subset of jackoffs, "snowflake" is the go-to insult, no matter the context. "This is someone that I dislike and am unable to express why, so this person must be a snowflake" is how their reasoning goes.
The extreme warming predictions have proven wrong. We are heading into a solar grand minimum. The only people who need to worry about global warming are the alarmists who have staked their careers on it.
and the only warning labels they have are the ones that say "hippies will be shot on sight".
That is extremely inaccurate and shows ignorance of Texas history. Did you know that Texas was the US hotbed for psychedelic music? And not just the 13th Floor Elevators and Roky Erikson, either. The hippie and psychedelic scenes in Dallas and Houston rivaled those on the West Coast. You should visit Texas some time. The people, culture and food are fantastic. It's a rather extraordinary place, and once they get rid of gerrymandering, it might actually be state the rest of the US can be proud of.
You don't seriously think it's because of all the warning labels, do you?
That would be impossible to prove one way or the other.
The link you gave indicated it's likely the lower rates of obesity and smoking in California
And cigarettes have warning labels. And food has nutritional labels. So what's your point?
California, which is kind of known for being a more health-conscious state in general.
Yes, and that's what this article is about. California is a healthy state. I've lived here nine months and I still haven't seen a cigarette butt on the ground. It's one reason the other 49 states all seem completely obsessed with California.
There is ample evidence showing that coffee is surprisingly good for you. Saying it has to be labelled a "carcinogen" is doing nothing to help anybody's health, but is contributing to people ignoring warning labels, which is not a good thing.
Nobody wants to label coffee a carcinogen. Yes, it's good for you. This particular court wants to label the acrylamide in coffee a carcinogen. Which it is. Coffee can be roasted to contain much less acrylamide, and it's not even hard. The longer you roast coffee, the less acrylamide it contains. Espresso contains much less acrylamide than automatic drip.
California's laws are stupid and counterproductive.
California has some of the lowest cancer rates in the country, so maybe not so stupid and counterproductive.
The end result of what you want is a bunch of black people banned from the service.
I didn't say anything about "banned". I wasn't talking about official policies or any particular social media.
I was talking about living in society. If you are not sure if you should say a particular racial slur, you should not say it. How is that in any way controversial to anyone but Anonymous Cowards on Slashdot?
Computers are not able to figure out which instances of NlGGER are "okay
You shouldn't need a computer to tell you not to use that word. Your parents should have done it when you were growing up. Like, last year.
But as a public service, I'll give you an easy way to remember it: If you're not able to figure out which instances of a racial slur are OK, you just should never use it. There, see how simple that is?
And, if you're obsessing over whether or not you are "allowed" to use a racial slur, you are probably a racist piece of shit.
They best not try to bury the great Chuck Tingle, author of such books as, Space Raptor Butt Invasion, which is book one of the Space Raptor Butt Trilogy. His earlier work, such as Pounded In The Butt By My Own Butt are already classics. However, his newer work, such as the speculative Slammed In The Butthole By My Concept Of Linear Time is not quite as good as his earlier work.
Even more short, you are a complete fucking idiot and following the rest of your links would be more useless than following the pool of hobo urine on an SF sidewalk as it drains into the gutter.
Gosh, so hostile. And I thought we had a rapport.
But seriously, if you look at the other links, you will learn that Apple is indeed profiting off your data. But maybe now would not be the best time for you to read those links. Wait until you simmer down.
I went to a sock-hop at Lane Tech and Styx was the band. I didn't go there, but I dated a girl who went to Immaculata and she liked Styx, so she insisted. This is when Styx was still just a local Chicago band. I wouldn't have gone, but she was a freak.
Instead of puking all over a solution because Apple, you should be treasuring a company that actually values security and takes the effort to make it all fairly secure.
Security is not the same as privacy. Apple shares your data with its "strategic partners". And more.
If he has no means to communicate with the outside world or to travel freely...that's the definition of incarceration.
Well, the Ecuadorians warned him, if he didn't pick up his room they were going to cut off his internet. I mean, he's been in there for six years now and it must be getting a little ripe.
Assange doesn't strike me as the type that would make personal cleanliness a priority. In fact, I bet there are gym socks on the floor of his room right now.

I knew it!

They are shocked—shocked—to find that surveillance is going on in here!
Honestly, is shooting someone "on sight" your idea of a joke?
In the spirit of Good Friday, I'm not going to call you a dumb sonofabitch.

You said this:
And I'm telling you that Texas loves hippies. There are tons of hippies in all parts of Texas, from the Piney woods in the East to the panhandle.
No, Texas has higher cancer rates than California. However, Texans also have a significantly lower life expectancy than Californians

If your concept of "thought" involves Instagram and animated gifs, then there's a much bigger problem.
One can be a "tosser", "wanker" and conspiracy theory believing idiot and still be an inspiration to millions.
