Does your book require you to invite 5 friends to buy a copy before you can read the next chapter? Near the end, do your friends have to accept your invitation before you can read the climax?
Not only do you get a social circle within the game, but if you're not careful, they also start pulling you away from your real-life social circle.
Sounds just like methamphetamine. Or Scientology.
Hmmm.
I don't know about MMOs, but "cult" describes facebook games almost. To gain rigidly defined levels and learn new secrets, you must invite (and get) others to join. Alternating "You Fail It!" and "love bomb" messages enhance the feeling of belonging (and are addictive). The only thing lacking is the alienation of outside relationships.
If the force were applied to the front, no. What if the force were applied to the side, or to the side/top to create a twisting motion? If the force were applied to destroy the tracks?
The obvious next logical step would be to put physicians in charge of the body scanners. If I'm going to get a prostate exam every time I get into a plane, train or bus, at least I want to know that it's going to be someone actually qualified. And that they can ensure I'm going to remain healthy. What about they add AIDS testing, cancer testing for general audience, and perhaps mammograms and echographies for women.
And people actually complains about paying for health care!
Drink a radioisotope before coming to the airport. Come six hours early. Get a routine FMRI to check for cancer, heart disease, neurological disorders, C4, ceramic knives embedded in the forearms...
Between 9/11/2001 and 10/11/2001, as many Americans died in traffic as died in the terrorist attacks. Why was there no War on Traffic Deaths and invasion of Detroit following?
Intent. If it's tangible enough to be a requirement for a murder conviction, then there's something about intentions that humans find important. Despite the adage of the road to hell being paved with good intentions, we believe that intent plays a major role in assigning blame. If someone could prove that there was an evil mastermind who said to himself "I want to kill 4000 people between 2001/09/11 and 2001/10/11, but I'll do it one car crash at a time", they'd be paralyzed with fear, and demand the government do something. If the twin towers would have just collapsed on their own (or a plane accidentally rammed into a tower [as I thought for a minute early on 9/11]), then people would have been shaken, but no fear would have resulted (except maybe of building skyscrapers too high). It's all about intent; the desires of others.
I'd say "A society in extreme environmental conditions is a polite society." Inuit in the extreme north, Berber and Arabic people in deserts; they usually have rigid customs about providing care and water/food to guests or wandering strangers. When things are plentiful, there comes a mindset of "Just go get your own, it's right over there" which can morph into "I can take this from you, and no one will care because you can always get another, right over there" or "I can take your life because I don't need you to survive. This climate isn't harsh, and I can get all I need on my own"
Actually, facebook is a real word. Not created at all. It's like a college yearbook, but created and distributed with contact info, allowing people to contact each other in college and potentially after they've graduated. "Facebook (R)" is just a facebook on the web (which morphed into a social network, and added people who aren't in college).
Even nine years after the 9/11 attacks, the U.S. government denies that on flight 93, a faint "COBRA!" can be heard after the passengers attempt to storm the cockpit.
as long as the "crater" didn't cover Arizona, California, Utah and Nevada. We don't actually have a plan for dealing with that.
Some backup requirements are silly. requiring backups to exist offsite more than 100 miles away... If whatever the disaster is is *that* bad, then the company is probably gone. Those backups wouldn't do anyone any good.
You know, I remember having conversations exactly like this in sixth grade. "Anything can be a weapon! Heck, my pencil could be a weapon!"
I'm assuming the teacher overheard such a conversation, and decided to react in the classic way that only a buffoon can.
My friends and I had that exact same conversation when schools started the no-tolerance deal with knives. I carried a swiss all through middle and high school. A couple friends had pen knives. No one thought anything of it.
Apparently this guy doesn't watch Outsourced. In "Home for the Diwalidays", Rajiv directs a group of employees to hang a swastika up high, as he raises his hand, arm fully extended at 45 degrees, and shouts "Higher! Higher!" Of course Todd, the American boss, is immediately scared and says it's offensive and orders it to be taken down. Everyone is shocked, and Rajiv compliments Todd on his Americanizing, and renames an employee with an American name.
Later on, test the myth of the DINOSAURS. did the scaly monsters really exist at all ??
No no, they'll test the myth that they died out via impact. Of course you know their rule: always try to replicate the results of the myth, no matter how much explosives are required.
Cats are known to operate door handles too. And my cat would jump into a windowsill to get our attention if she wanted in. If we were oblivious, she would bang her forehead into the window.
Apparently you've never played fetch with a cat. They don't like balls; try plastic milk jug rings or fuzzy toys. And cats are easily trained. Mine was an outside cat and she came in from the woods when I whistled... If she wanted to. Cats aren't eager to please (social hierarchy) like dogs. Train them something that's in their interest (or let them solve a puzzle like opening doors or using the toilet) and they shine.
All the insurance companies have to do is pay for ads to be displayed for target conditions. If searches for "diabetes" show ads that people click, then the insurance companies have IP addresses. If the users don't click, the insurance companies still have a number totaling how many times their ad was displayed, and in what general populations.
The Google-provided WiFi data is to be deleted, and trilateration by cell tower signal is nowhere near as accurate as many folks make out.
I wouldn't trust cell tower signal to guide me to a street in London, for instance, and that's exactly the kind of information a 911 responder would need.
That's surprising to me. I live in the U.S. in a city smaller than London, but my original iPhone (no real GPS) could pinpoint me within large buildings, and was never off more than 20 meters unless I was in rural areas (with fewer cell towers). Maybe the signals used in London don't penetrate walls as well?

Unless you've been living behind Jupiter,
What, Uranus is not funny anymore?
Professor Farnsworth already explained that. Watch more Futurama.
due process works like this:
Big Government takes whatever it says it's due. Unless you're another sovereign country, don't even try to stop the process.
Dell tried that

Make no mistake; it's been infected, but they sponge off of someone else.
Okay, that's still better than what I originally thought of, which is too creepy to mention on Thanksgiving (but not Halloween).

When I was a kid, my wardrobe was largely salvage from Great Northern derailments.
I hope you mean that it was clothing that was cargo being shipped, but sold at discount because it "fell off the train".
A couple of bombs would not even make a dent.

Said coyote was barely recognizable as a coyote, out in broad daylight, and Not Acting Right.
Probably mange. But putting it out of its misery wouldn't hurt.

You feed the stray cats? Your local bird and squirrel population thanks you.
We don't feed strays around here. We shoot them. It's fun target practice and better for the native animal populations that stray cats decimate.
Gp probably lives in a rural area where feral cats are a boon.
