To be fair it probably always has been the leading cause. Especially if you include things like yelling at your kids to stop messing with each other, day dreaming, etc. The issue i…

Off the top of my head... Distracted driving is a crime in many states now (where distracted has been interpreted more or less broadly to include electronic devices or even eating …

Just no. All investments are not owned on the back of consumption foregone in the past. Unless you believe that someone with 100 million dollars is "foregoing consumption" when the…

EAT: The blood of my enemies. Small amounts of leafy greens. Lots of nuts. MEAT. NOT EAT: Fluffy puppies Anything with High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) More than one drink that cont…

Damn them LIBRULS! Never mind that actual healthcare costs are more expensive than in other countries on a pill by pill and procedure by procedure basis. Healthcare cost in the Uni…

This is awesome! I'm trying to dig out early 90s warez/gamez nfo files to run through this thing!

Your first paragraph sounds like it contains all the markings of a successful psyops campaign to be totally honest. Whisper campaign to erode public trust and increase partisan div…

He lied in his confirmation hearing after being pressed on an issue. Then admitted he was not truthful after it was publicized. Lots of people (especially in Gov) get away with tha…

The connection is pretty obvious. But I'll spell it out. Comcast appears to be using patent troll level fuckery in an attempt to further their goal of stopping net neutrality. A go…

1) Russia is not a "European" country. Though it does exert influence in that sphere and has a 'European Russia'. Anecdotally most Russians I've met would bristle at Russia being c…

Why is net neutrality important again? Is anyone ready to respond with a defense of Comcast's monopoly on high speed ISP service? (edit: in many cities and locations) /snark

This is untrue. Are you seriously attempting to use a colloquial joke as some sort of evidence? While Germans are a bit more conscious of driving in the left lane when not passing,…

Sources on any of this conjecture? What large donations from Russia did Clinton receive? Were they comparable to Trump's MANY funding streams from Russian banks? Or multiple of his…

Thanks for the reply! The European 1 often looks like an upward facing triangle without a bottom line. Surprisingly frequently it has caused European's in the US to have issues wit…

This looks cool but I wish it showed examples of different kinds of handwriting being detected. Cursive? European numbers vs American numbers (the 1 especially)? Doctor (or other b…

Your post quoted: "So it's better to hide the truth from voters if that means voters knowing the truth is in Russia's interest? How is being more informed a bad thing?" Where did y…

This stance MIGHT make sense if the hacked RNC documents were also leaked. Surprisingly (or not) those files were not leaked out.[1] Sure looks like "truth" was not the element tha…

I'd wager that in the abstract the answer is "NO!" But then again IOKIYAR probably takes precedence here... And the Republicans are in charge of all the checks/balances at the mome…

Driving faster on the autobahn (or any freeway/highway) will not get you to your destination much faster. The total transit time is impacted the most by city/local traffic and such…

Why isn't a working method of disabling these sorts of sorting 'features' ever provided? Seems like they could please the "I want to see relevant" and the "I want to see most recen…

He is talking about tooth alignment (braces) not decay as in cavities. Incorrect tooth alignment can have many health risks regardless of it being a class/beauty standard. The bact…

Even if it was permanent (it isnt). Why would painting dirty/rusty/messed up stuff with a coat of black ink be "defacing our landscape"? If anything the black ink would cover up th…
