It was written in 1972. I mean, Christ, if he was getting on his soapbox and still talking this stuff, you’d have a point, but people are allowed to get wiser from the ages of 31 to 73, right? I’m sure you’ve written and said some pretty stupid shit, too, even if it was well-intentioned.

“Of course rights need to be recognized and codified to be enforced. That does not mean they didn’t exist.”

It means exactly that. This isn’t a chicken-egg issue. Rights are not formulated until they are codified. It’s really that simple. The only other contravening argument you could use is that rights are natural,…

I wish we had NASA engineers on Youtube explaining this shit when I was taking HS Physics.

I don’t really care if you can or can’t buy the argument, because it’s true nonetheless. Rights have to be socially recognizes and codified. They are not natural things springing from the Magical Rights Well. There is a material basis for them, and it begins with their formalization.

“Would you believe that was already up there when we came in?”

I think Jared is my favorite character on the show, next to Gilfoyle. Jared is really sincere about everything and makes it all the funnier.

“Now I’m going to find some girls whom I can prioritize behind you guys.”

“Did you just say ‘bros before hoes?’”

“It’s sexist, but it’s about friendship.”

Still cracks me the fuck up.

I fucking love this show so much. Mike Judge is a goddamned genius.

Yeah, I’m going to stay out of this. I don’t really have any social media accounts and am out of touch with 99% of what’s going on in youth culture nowadays. I found out about “on fleek” through a middle-aged dude who was trying to figure out what it meant. I googled it and still don’t get it.

IOW; you kids that are my…

I’m incredibly out of the loop with my generation. I barely get the point of taking a selfie, and I don’t get this “selfie stick” thing at all.

Yup. I take my time to do shit right the first time.

“So I should trust you with a million dollar project because you don’t exist? It just part of due diligence on the part of the company.”

There’s something fundamentally wrong with treating someone like they “don’t exist” because they don’t have a social media presence.

I’m guessing the folks who are in industries that “require” a social media presence are people who already utilize social media for various things. But I know that if I were to get a research job in meteorology (the field I’m going into), it wouldn’t hinge on how nicely kept up my facebook page is, or even if I have…

This is incredibly Orwellian.

No no no no no no no no no. No it’s not. People going “fast” as opposed to slowing the fuck down and realizing what they’re doing/creating is probably the source of many problems in the world today. We don’t need to be running on all cylinders at once.

No, it saves money in the long run and is better for the environment. That’s the entire point of this fucking article. Come on.

I’ve got 8gb of ram on an old ass Dell running Ubuntu 14.04. Chrome hasn’t ever really crashed on me. Know what does? Motherfucking Firefox. All the time. I just recently messed around with the configuration to let me open more than 2 tabs at once, but anymore than that, then Firefox instantly meltsdown.

Someone was reading Blood Meridian.

Automation will always kill jobs, so this is kind of a pointless article. I’d, rather, like to see an article about how we need to overthrow an economic system that puts workers in harms way every time the means of production is developed or revolutionized. Seems like that would have more substance and conversation…

That’s not what I meant by “ubiquitous.” Their marketing presence was, sure, but it wasn’t a concern for anyone who wasn’t already using the Internet. Remember, this was still before every little bit of our lives was digitized and put online. We got tons of those floppies, and then the CD-ROMS. People usually threw…

Okay, but AOL wasn’t ubiquitous even in 1995.
