Couldn't agree more. We need to put the "social" back into social media.

"Opening an investigation" means nothing before a conclusion is reached. The accusations could be valid or totally baseless, investigations are opened regardless and specifically t…

Please specify some of these important things that you clearly feel would be okay having stolen from you personally. Or did you mean it's okay to steal as long it's from other peop…

This is very outdated. "Nuclear fuel reprocessing is performed routinely in Europe, Russia and Japan" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_reprocessing

yes, nuclear reprocessing is actually a fairly old technology and it closes the nuclear fuel cycle, leaving only short lived byproducts. It is currently illegal in America because …

If by covid you mean general national health concerns including polio, smallpox, measles, rubella, salmonella, E. coli, cholera and ebola, then yes. That's exactly the argument beh…

I can't believe you seriously just suggested Google is going to abandon Chrome. Next up, Microsoft is going to abandon Word. Also, Facebook is going to abandon Facebook. This is wh…

A model 3 MSRP is $45k. A used one can be found for even less than that. Check your local car prices, b/c that is not really that expensive and certainly nowhere close to "rich" te…

Their cell phones didn't use cell phone technology? What on earth are you talking about?

Ha, I mean, that's not weird at all. Texans say that all the time. Six flags theme parks are quite literally named after the six different flags that have flown over Texas as a nod…

No one treats it that way. A reasonable person should understand it not as requesting to make subjective personal judgments but rather as what it clearly was meant as: "Don't be Mi…

Swift was, and that's on GitHub :)

What market though? There is no search market. It is a service given away for free. There is no such thing as a monopoly on something that does not cost anything.

That sounds extremely accurate, and not for the extremes either. Newt Gingrich & Rush Limbaugh began the mantra of refusing to compromise on any position. They are anything but ext…

You have your terms backwards. Fusion is what they are doing here. Fission we have already figured out and have been generating power from for decades. Fusion does not have the run…

That's silly, you don't. An oculus is not a monitor, it's an entire game console that includes a screen. Are you this incredulous about having to log in to an iPad or a Switch?

That's not true at all. Dividends are taxed as regular income, unless they're qualified dividends then they have their own rate.

I think you're still describing a cultural cause here. Responding to perceived aggression with your own aggression is not a given. It's a culturally decided response, not an instin…

look at japan. Salarymen get shitfaced on the regular, but you don't hear about drunken street fights in Tokyo do you?

So, you might be making good points, but honestly you come off sounding just cynical, vindictive and shitty.

Hard disagree. A senior leadership team without a key decision maker is fundamentally lost and seeks only self preservation through short term goals. Here's another example: every …

This is not a loophole. Collateralizing a loan against assets does not produce income. It produces cash and an even larger liability. That loan still has to be paid off with separa…

Then you have very different priorities than an airplane owner. You pay for plenty of things that are extremely expensive, you just choose different things.

Wrong airplane. Jets use JET-A (no lead) not AVGAS

Wait, are you trying to say it's not wrong? It was specifically paid for and used to cast widespread doubt on smoking leading to lung cancer. It tried to convince people that "the …
