Racism is a two way street that is perpetuated on all sides think they are better than all others. Fighting fire with fire is a good way to burn everything faster. The U.S. government even supports classifying people as separate peoples in order to stop people from classifying people. Hypocrisy is the name of the game…

Compatibility is a big factor. Back when hollywood forced all theatres to go digital, my town’s theatre got some Sony 4k’s. As they are still relatively new (design) the personal devices are prohibitively expensive. Based on the usage of the old devices it would take 10-20 years to pay for just 4. I don’t know about…

Not to mention the equipment is expensive. Where I live and work the return just isn’t there. It would take an average of 10-20 years to even make a profit on the things. I’m sorry they are unable to fully enjoy a movie, but it just isn’t right to make some one else pay for your entertainment (it’s not a right, unlike…

Trying to debate the issue online just leads to a breaking down of conversation until one gives in or everyone just “walks” away. Women have a right to their body. Babies have a right to their bo...ok maybe just life at this point. Most women make the conscious decision to take a risk of getting pregnant (a lot of…

“But, to your first point that there should be a “teaching moment”, I just happen to think that at some point you’re not going to “teach” these people, no matter how well intentioned, and giving them the platform to even debate their ideas or the benefit of the doubt that they “can” be taught plays right into their…

It’s about making money. They make money on repairs and so it would stand to reason they would like to keep making money.

The ACA’s marketplace is a scam to any one that is married. You get billed based on you and your spouses income, for both of you. That is double dipping right there. It also charges you based on expected income instead of known rates. My bill for a really crappy plan would have been over $200 a month, the lowest it…

...It’s not the “problem.” It is the entire point of insurance. It is designed to be a wide cast communal net to catch you if you fall. What’s better as a trapeze artist: a safety net where you can still get hurt or die, or landing on that cold hard ground. The problem is that it is a for profit business.

Based on these snippets, I would say that the air bag saved the kid’s life.

Ya, little too late to stop the flow. This is trump and everything I see is just trump’s personality. Some people acknowledge service, and some try to provide assurance that a life wasn’t lost in vain. Some see an orange monkey touting about his brilliance and others see a man in a position to provide the afore…

Counting Cars had an episode where they made a custom bike where the handicapped owner could drive the bike from the sidecar.

This article reminds me of a specific Irish satire to end hunger there. It’s funny because it was just so specifically horrifying to think about.

The problem with the whole nuclear war scenario is that trump is a businessman. Nuclear war is bad for business and trump knows this. He may be ignorant and willfully extremely eccentric, but he is not an idiot. Just because he would not score too high on a traditional IQ test does not mean that the societal bias…

Its so sad that back button controllers aren’t more mainstream already. I used a 3rd party controller for the original xbox and you couldn’t get me to use anything else because it was so intuitive. All my friends loved it it too because of the freedom it gives you.

You mentioned one part of the equation, distribution, but forgot the important one. Supply and demand drives nearly everything economically and will not be stopped by equalifying wealth. The whole point of good business is balancing S n’ D with maximum profits. The consequece of that is basic needs of some fall to the…

Shock and awe has its uses, except when talking about cancer. Doctors don’t run around screaming their patients are going to die horrible deaths after a long, progressively painful trial of treatments. People want to hear how to fix it directly and the options available. Too bad being somber, truthful, and direct…

Wait, you mean the primaries aren’t rigged so the parties have the controlling majority? News outlets didn’t lie about democratic super delegates having already voted just a couple months into the race for nomination? The DNC chairwoman didn’t resign over leaked emails that showed clinton buying them out? The only…

Look at OpenMorrowind:

Except the players have a right to play the game in what what ever form as long as it was legally obtained. You are correct however that if the servers actually actively filtered people that didn’t have subscriptions Blizzard wouldn’t have a leg to stand on. They could start mass banning accounts but then would have…

You can blame mickey mouse which becomes public domain I think in 2021. Might not be the major cause but is a huge contributor.
