Industries are disrupted and replaced all the time in capitalism. When it happens in a way that creates a Rockefeller or a Bezos its called progress and no one focuses on the failed industries left behind. 

I mean, you said it right there: “an industry based on profiting from the suffering of others.” If we can change that, I would think we have a moral imperative to do so.

Another question would be — prior to legalization, would these same events have led to a trip to the ER? Given that it wasn’t legal prior to the study, my guess is that it was previously under-reported since people wouldn’t want to get in trouble for drug use.  I would assume that only the most severe instances would…

Staring at that animated M logo that then stalls, only to have to wait for 30 seconds before doing anything gets me infuriated everytime. Oh, and don’t even think about deleting a few emails with the mouse over trash icon. They stay there - until they don’t - and then you just trashed a good email because it jumped…

*scrolls down and random video from io9 starts playing for no fucking reason*

Not to mention how much data bandwidth is being wasted.

Even muted autoplay is annoying to me. It’s adding unnecessary movement to the screen, using processor power, and some play indefinitely for hours. By the time I see it it has scrolled through 5 videos and is on something completely unrelated to the article. I especially hate them on the mobile optimized versions of…

“Pendejo, maybe you Gringos stop snorting Yayo up ta nariz.”

Season 6 should start with Claire saying Francis is dead.
