    Everyone claimed we invaded Iraq back in the early 2000s to take their oil, but the US spent a whole bunch of money on the military operations, and opened up oil and gas to basical…

    Normal Venezuelans saw absolutely zero benefit from whatever oil revenue there was, so even in the worst case scenario, which is not a given, their lives would not be different.

    Venezuelans for the past 5+ years have been the most or almost the most numerous asylum seekers in the US. And "poor economic conditions" or general poverty is not a valid reason t…

    Can anyone provide any attempt at rationalizing their decision? Could your computer overheat and explode if you do this? Could hackers take over your computer and play a flashing l…

    Okay, but it doesn't mean they're regular people. Owning a single one of those plots out them in the 1% of household net worth, even if they had 0 other assets.

    He purchased each plot for between $5 and $15M. The article describes the residents as "Doctors, lawyers, business executives and Stanford University professors". I would not call …

    iToilet, an app which directs you to the nearest decent toilet any where in the world, was also how Costanza made his millions(before losing it to madoff) in the seinfeld reboot th…

    I'm pretty sure everyone gets to choose what makes them happy. Sorry, I guess, if criticizing the life choices of a dead person are what makes you happy.

    Does it lead to obviously better results in quality of life compared to people who don't riot quite so frequently? Is the average londoner worse off than the average Parisian? What…

    I think you need to make the judgement if a long video is long because it's worth it and needs to be that long, or because it's padded for some reason. When I come across a padded …

    I'm also curious who the market is for a thinner phone. I imagine pockets on some clothes women commonly wear might work better with a thinner phone, but those pockets are almost a…

    Their app being top of the line, because they coded their app in their app, would certainly be a nice natural endorsement of the product.

    Wow, your edit of your post is completely different from your original message - "You asked why it spams wait over and over. But it doesn't. That's the incorrect claim." Why did yo…

    I don't, so I guess I'm good by that heuristic. Now, I'm curious why you responded to me, but you didn't bother responding to OP who seemed to think that the only definition of hac…

    Who explained why a thing was a certain way, but then the thing was not that actually way? Sorry, I have a pet peeve about poor reading comprehension.

    You apparently don't understand that "hacker" has multiple definitions. Sorry to hear that. The guy who named this site wrote extensively on "hackers", which you're free to read. T…

    Why are you calling me out for asking why it does a thing that OP claimed it did? (You don't need to answer, I know exactly why - because you agree with OPs viewpoint and disagree …
