I hate to be a stickler here, but I gotta take issue with the characterization of baseball being a dead sport by Sisko’s time. A brother of Kasidy Yates (Sisko’s wife) played for a team on Cestus III, suggesting reports of its demise were premature. http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Kasidy_Yates-Sisko

holy crap they really are adding this one:

why some people, whether they’re educated enough to know the risks or not, would continue to smoke.

the difference here is that cigarettes are also killing people who morally choose not to smoke it as well as littering the planet

You know what else is a stress reliever, russian roulette. Hearing that click and not being shot in the head really makes all the troubles melt away. Safer than smoking too!

How much you’re messing with others? Second Hand smoking can be up to four times more toxic than main smoking.

64 MPH not fast enough?!? IT HAS A FVCKING ARMORED TURRET ON TOP. Rollover accidents kill enough service members every year and you want them to go faster? Think man, think.

Holy hell thats quite a lot louder. I made a comment way about that the Vermont ANG flies F-16s out of BTV already so what’s the big deal? Apparently 20+db is the big deal. Thats pretty significant!

Some quick research showed that the F-35 is much louder than the F-16.

Ben Cohen has a long history of political activism, and I don’t think it is fair to describe him as a NIMBY.

I’m 25 miles away from Nellis AFB but under their typical flight path out of Vegas and the noise pollution is still pretty bad.

Yeah, they should take their crap somewhere else.

Cosmetic-only lootboxes are still lootboxes.

I wasn’t going to put in those words but won’t the Tesla be alternatively cooked and frozen to a few Kelvins for a minimum of two millenia before it hits anything? If nothing else those bacteria deserve a planet if they can hack it through millenia of cold and hot radiation.

Tesla is being sued because some guy’s kid died after ignoring all warning signs not to 100% trust autopilot, and that he should still be paying attention to the road in case the car doesn’t detect something. Goodyear is being sued because RV manufacturers used tires designed for low-speed delivery vehicles, and then…

So one of the claims is the sweeper was visible for 20 seconds and the vehicle took no action to avoid it. If only there was a way the car could have been manually manipulated to change course away from a stationary object by some sentient being responsible for operating the vehicle.

Why was it Google’s responsibility to do anything? Getty Images should be denying direct linking to their images like angelfire did back in the day and keep search engines from indexing your pages. Secure your own damn product! Also Bing images still has view image. Is Getty gonna sue Microsoft next? Are they going to…

It’s not video games and politics. It’s gambling and politics. And don’t be dramatic, it’s asking an organization to focus on a particular area of their existing scope, not storming the halls of Capital Hill.

I agree with you, but I think we have the political bandwidth to do both
