There are two problems with this notion.

The distinction needs to exist between ‘content’ that sites push to users without prompting and with prompting. With prompting, users have gone looking for that kind of content specifically (so they’re going to find it regardless). But content that sites push to the users without prompting is the *SITE* deciding what…

No. She’s proving that they target minorities, which they do and she is, and that they freely and repeatedly weaponize their power against people they don’t like, which they are.

Yes...we should have officers throughout the law enforcement ‘industry’ train themselves in ways to better weaponize technology against people who offend their delicate sensibilities by wanting transparency, accountability, and consequences (or by simply existing).

Capitalism is really little more than a paper-thin facade barely hiding the feudalism beneath it. The same wealthy, powerful people own and control everything...and if you’re a good little bitch and make them lots of money, they might promote you from being a vassal, serf, or peasant. But if you cross them, they will…

A free, ad-supported streaming service. Isn’t that just, you know, YouTube??

Connect was...very short-lived anyway. Most developers didn’t support it, and for those that did, only a handful of titles were ever supported by Connect, and even when they were made available on Connect, it was only for a brief period of time and never again. If you missed the window of opportunity to add one of…

“Because money.” — the true reason corporations (and people) do every shitty thing they’ve ever done, since forever. But their sycophants and apologists would STILL have everyone believe that “Greed is good.”

They leak when they’re not even turned on. They leak even *MORE* when they are. There’s no ‘safe’ usage of gas stoves. They’re poisoning every breath anyone takes in any room shared with one or adjacent to one. And ‘properly’ maintained just reduces said leakage by an amount that is irrelevant — they’re still toxic to…

Nope. Wrong. They leak like a sieve, they just leak a *LITTLE* less if they’re properly maintained. There’s no ‘safe’ way to live with gas stoves. Same with natural gas pipelines. Even properly maintained, they still leak.

Imagine Washington DC without any of its good parts — that’s a Conservative Think Tank. So, no, DC is pleasant and quaint by comparison.

The whole concept of capitalism is fundamentally incompatible with an automated society. So it’s not just a UBI discussion that needs to be had. It goes a whole lot further than that. It’s the entire global economy that needs a rethink and rewrite.

No, because it only applied to *BROADCAST* news. It never applied to *CABLE* news. Which isn’t to say you’re wrong in regards to the FCC needing to take action on this issue, but it would be a whole new ball of wax, requiring entirely new regulatory frameworks, oversight, and most importantly, strong controls to…

Of all the ideas on the list, the ‘growable’ buildings materials is the most interesting, not simply for the ‘intended’ usage but for the possibility of extending its practical applications to right here on Earth, so we can move away from our reliance on lumber and all the problems that comes with it.

...a conservative think tank...

“Christians” are just fine with it. Anti-vaxxers, too. As far as either group are concerned, the more the merrier. And children are fair game. Whatever it requires to take and keep power, forever, they’ll do it.

Unsurprisingly, the natural gas industry has been fighting these developments tooth and nail.

The reality is that most legal proceedings and laws are almost expressly designed to disadvantage regular people for the purpose of artificially creating the demand for lawyers and legal council. Like a lots of things that have origins rooted in centuries of traditions and dogma, they’ve become systems unto…

If her stint in Black Widow is anything to go by, Rachel Weisz — who somehow does not appear to have aged a day since The Mummy — is still fully capable of stepping back into the role of Evelyn, and doing a smashing job at it. So the two of them getting back together to do some more monster-movie madness? I’m totally…

Oh, I’m aware. And it would honestly be better for the country if the nobody assumes the speakership role for the next two years until the next election. Because the alternative is seeing just how much damage Republicans can cause with their control of the House. And if four years of Trump is any indication, the…
