Again, I'm not defending the specific science behind Theranos' idea (which I have zero expertise in) or any of the inflated promises and claims Elizabeth Holmes made about their technology. I'm just saying that the basic concept of making a common (and often life saving) medical procedure cheaper and easier is…

Nobody's saying they don't have a legal right to make this stupid product. But it is a stupid product and it deserves mockery.

At least Theranos had a useful product in theory, even if that product ended up not working in the test phase and being covered up by a mountain of fraud and bullshit. But the basic concept of making blood testing cheaper and more efficient is worth pursuing. Society could actually benefit a lot from something like…

The Juicero isn't an "overpriced juicer" because it isn't even a juicer in the first place. A juicer takes whole, raw fruits and vegetables and mechanically blends them into a semi-liquid puree you can drink. This is actually a legitimate product because it quickly performs a task that is impossible for a person to do…

Jesus Christ. Even food has internet-connected DRM now.

No.

Even by Hatesong standards, the douchey pretentiousness here is off the fucking charts.

"Assad dropped chemical weapons on his own people. Which makes him even worse than Hitler - who really wasn't that bad when you think about it because at least Hitler never dropped chemical weapons on his own people. So he's got that going for him, which is nice."

Like Milton from Office Space, he was fired long ago but no one ever told him about it and because of some glitch in HR, he still gets a paycheck.

It's generally best to just avoid Hitler analogies in the political sphere altogether, especially when there's a camera in front of you. They rarely go well. Even the best-intentioned person inevitably trips over their words and ends up saying something horribly offensive.

Yup. He literally did.

Is this like a Costanza situation where Sean Spicer is actually trying to get fired by saying/doing as much offensive shit as possible?

Last week's Raw opener gave us a glimmer of hope that maaaaaaaaybe WWE finally got the message and would turn Roman heel. Or at the very least make him a Lesnar-esque "speak little, kick ass, give zero fucks" tweener. His segment last week was perfect - he came out, silently absorbed the crowd's hatred with an…

So, WWE is not even bothering to come up with a kayfabe explanation for what "Superstar shakeup" means? It's not a draft, it's not a series of trades, it's not a new-season free agent signing period, people are just showing up on a different show for …… reasons. Some of whom are already starting new feuds on their new…

"Superstar shakeup" is apparently Vince-speak for "SDL is just a development brand and now we're calling some talent up to the A-show"

It's not really him, it's the way he's booked. When he debuted with the Shield he was a quiet, no-nonsense, brooding, almost-heelish heavy hitting badass. And he was over as fuck. But then around late 2014-ish after the Shield broke up, management decided that Roman was going to be the face of the entire company for…

Yeah, I often have to explain to religious people this and they have a hard time understanding it. They assume that I "lost my faith" as a result of some sudden epiphany or traumatic life event. It wasn't like that at all. In fact I didn't even really "lose" my faith - I simply realized over time that I never really…

It always amuses me when I hear Christians cite Jesus' existence as a historical figure as somehow being proof of his divinity and all the other supernatural claims about him, and expect that non-Christians should accept the latter as an extension of the former. They conveniently do not apply this same standard to any…

There is (limited) non-Biblical evidence that a man named Jesus was executed by the Roman authorities in Judea in the 1st century for some kind of heresy crime. That's literally it. There's nothing outside of the Bible to substantiate any other aspect of his life, teachings, supernatural powers, immaculate conception,…

"That Jesus Christ is ONE, SON, OF GOD. I know from experience, dude, if you know what I mean."
