Shut up you little shits! You'll be old one day too! You'll ALL be old!

The iPad.

Final Update: When the Singularity hits, and we're forced to shut down all networking in order to defeat an AI that professionally dressed up like a Pirate for over a decade, even currently existing generations will be unable to adequately function in a world of analog devices, and physical switches and dongles that…

I'm sorry, but your headline really oversold it. This is approximately the level terror this inspired:

Can a corporation be executed? Asking for a friend.

Our entire judicial system apparently finds beliefs to be more important than facts and human life.

Hell, I'm pretty sure if I told the government I decided taxes were Satanic so I'm not going to pay them anymore they wouldn't cater to my deeply held religious beliefs. At least not until either A) I'm a wealthy corporation or B) I gather a militia of racist trigger happy rednecks to my cause.

The thing that I find most mind-blowing about this right wing activist judge clusterfuck is that they have point blank said that it doesn't matter that birth control is NOT AN ABORTION PILL, because Hobby Lobby claims to BELIEVE very hard that it is, so we have to act like it is.

This is terrible, but Citizens United is still the worst thing to come out of SCOTUS.

Oh my goodness, you know what would be a fabulous protest? Something like we all go to hobby lobby and fillllll the trash cans with pads stained deep red (not blood, that's dangerous), and get white jeans and shorts died red in the crotchal region and just mill around out front handing out pamphlets and trying to…

I dunno, the Internet tells me both parties are the same, because Barack Obama won't use his Green Lantern ring hard enough to fight for my favorite pet bourgeois freedom.

and this is why you always vote, even if you're not ecstatic about the candidates.

Take this along to the next Apple event

I can't wait to stream my favorite NPR podcasts in conjunction with this thing I HAVE DEMANDED FOR YEARS.

The 10:1 (or 20:1 or 30:1) ratio is attempting to legislate what was a pretty common phenomenon within living memory. During the late great American Century the ratio of highest pay to lowest pay in most American Corporations ranged from 10:1 to 30:1 with an average of about 20:1. That wan't imposed it was the…

Give a $25K per year person an extra grand and he/she likely spends it for goods/services produced by another worker who earns a paycheck. The same $1K to a CEO who made $6.9 Million last year? Just throw it on his mountain of money. The only addition that $1K will ever make back to the economy is the pitiful…

Gas is a discrete resource, in finite supply, and access to it is controlled by individual people, who can respond to price caps by withholding it. "CEO," by contrast, is a job title. Hell, it's not even a certification or college major, and it's certainly not some discrete subspecies of human who will relocate to…

the 70s oil crisis resulted in an actual shortage of gasoline, in which case price controls and rationing are a perfectly reasonable measure to prevent price gouging and hoarding (just like the current laws banning large price increases on essential goods during a declared state of emergency)

Yeah, because they're totally not going to replace us with fucking robots anyway. It's just a matter of time, sucking CEO dick isn't going to stop it from happening.

your assembly line floor would be fully staffed with robots rather than people.
