A great example of “why the hell would you do this” with the answer of “because you can” and the penultimate result of “and it’s awesome!”

Uhg - this argument is driving me crazy! I totally agree with Diviance here. It seems to me that 1) Apple has the ability to unlock this phone, and 2) Apple has the ability to unlock this phone without handing a perpetual backdoor solution to the FBI. The underlying issue here - I think - is “I don’t trust the FBI to…

Well then verify them.

No, Apple fears damage to their image. They don’t have a care in the world for their customers or their privacy.

Citations needed and I have zero interest in a “this could totally maybe kinda sorta possibly theoretically happen!” fantasy scenario.

LOTR’s music is very weak and not very memorable

Chill dude, it’s just a blog. It’s not like professional college graduates are paid to write for this place.

You would, for sure, have a LOT of rupees.

“Well, I murdered 20 innocent people last night, but the T.V. said it was legal, so my hands and my conscience are completely clean.”

TRUMP: “The Purge is great. Just really great. It’s a yuge opportunity for winners to show they’re winners by making the losers lose with guns for America, by America and near America.”

I don’t get the idea behind the Purge movies. So according to these movies, the only reason why people aren’t murdering each other every minute of every day is simply fear of legal repercussions? Not anything like personal morals or a sense of right and wrong? Do the people in these movies get up the next day and say…

-sigh-

Can we make a cure for cancer or for any other diseases that plagued humanity and kills thousands of people each year? No.

Can we make a governmental system that isn’t corrupted and actually does good for both the poor, middle class, and rich so that no person is being screwed over and the country thrives? No.

Can…

“This weighs 4 stone, 15 rocks, 32 pebbles and 4 pocketfuls of gravel. How much is that in real weight?”

“2 pounds.”

I remember seeing signs for km on street signs here in California 20 years ago, and then they were replaced maybe 3-4 years ago with miles instead.

Uh, Fahrenheit was a German physicist’s creation... and it is based on physical observations (freezing point of a brine solution being one)... albeit silly ones. I’m not defending the US’s inability to change... just pointing out the origin of F.

Nice try but you are factually wrong. Imperial units are horribly inaccurate because there is no standard yard or foot. What will surprise most Americans is that you converted to the Metric system in 1934. As a result the US inch is defined as 25.4mm. The Metric unit is definitive not the inch. If you hadn’t, then…

This works just as well.

The fact that the German Chancellor has a physics PhD, and Donald Trump is a legitimate US Presidential candidate says everything you need to know about the differences in our political culture.

As a Brazilian, I say to all tourists who are planning on coming here for the Olympics: be worried.

the Gods of Life and Destruction I can understand a little, as at least Team Flare didn't actually get to do anything other than awaken them. But Hoenn's legendaries are caught in order to stop them from bringing on a biblio flood or world-ending drought (or in the case of Emerald a cataclysmic clash of the elements),…
