That would seem like the opposite of corporate logic given that corporations have been bowing to small, but wildly vocal groups, that don’t even buy their products, for years.

“Same goes for losing memories. It happened to people all the time. Do you think everyone who experienced short time memory loss is now a different person? How long the memory loss would have to be to be a different person? Minutes? Hours? Days? Years?”

Except betrayal in the Prisoner’s Dilemma isn’t any more likely to come from smart people or stupid people. It comes from selfishness. It is only cunning if you know what the other person has already said. Since you don’t know whether or not the other person has said anything, betrayal isn’t even the smart move.

Except it has been thriving for 20+ years. I am not exactly sure how a single case is indicative of it not thriving.

You don’t think you have a gang culture in your prisons? LMFAO. The British prison system is where quite a bit of your homegrown extremists are radicalized. They’ve only recently realized this which is why they built segregated units for extremists like Anjem Choudary.

Yeah, it is so easy that whenever we get a new computer at work, they give us an ethernet cord and a FAQ and 95% of the company is able to do it themselves without issue.

That actually isn’t true though. Intelligence and morality don’t correlate, but intelligence and earned wealth correlate pretty heavily. You are better off in most parts of the world being born 2 standard deviations in intelligence above the population than being born with 2 standard deviations of wealth (this…

Yeah. I can completely understand that someone doesn’t want strangers destroying their limestone ledge they put around their flower planter.

And when police don’t catch people damaging property, you are left with damaged property and no recourse. If you build a rail so someone won’t grind on it, you avert the possibility of intentional damage in the first place.

Google Al Jazeera and Qatari funding. It isn’t even a secret. AJ+ and Newsbroke are both part of Al Jazeera. There are various videos of Cenk, the founder of TYT talking about them partnering with AJ+.

Let’s be real, you are judging him for not getting a Jeep.

Do TV license fees count as government funding? I don’t actually know the answer.

That guy has been “vetted” whatever that means. He obviously won’t just pay kids pennies on the dollar to bring him cobalt.

I think artisanal miner is code for a guy (who doesn’t own the land) who goes to a place where cobalt exists, without any safety regs or inspections, starts digging, and extracts cobalt. Like all those guys who were doing artisanal diamond mining in Blood Diamond. Kinja isn’t letting me upload pictures, but these guys…

1) No

They aren’t very good at it. AJ+, Newsbroke, and TYT don’t seem to have any markings about their Qatari Government funding sources.

The first dozen or so times, probably.

Oh man. Completely disagree. If I didn’t start it, I’d take that beating sober and collect all their money.

Maybe Barry is in some sort of injury pool or something and bet the kid’s college fund. That’s the only way this could look “scary.”

Somebody call 911. There has been a murder.
