Makes me glad I always use Lyft instead.

I was thinking of the Andromeda Strain myself...

Clearly we have different tastes; Impossible comes the closest, but even it just isn't as good as the real thing. Beyond is a distant third - to my taste buds.

"compounded by the fact that in the post-DVD digital age, viewers may never be able to access the shows again." ...people torrent shows. Plus, local media players generally work better than streaming controls.

Fuck you. I'm not the guy who you responded too but I agree with them. Gamergate was a recruitment campaign for neo-nazis and plenty of alt right fuckwits like Steve Bannon have admitted that in print. https://www.usatoday.com/story...

Good deeds make people feel good because evolution rewards winning strategies with pleasure. Doing good deeds, acting in a prosocial manner, improves your chances for survival and procreation. There is literally no other reason that doing them would feel good.

We don't define things as selfish just because they make you feel good. We define them as selfish if they only benefit the self, and no other. What you are doing is trying to justify real, actual selfishness, which only benefits the individual, by claiming anything that makes you feel good is selfish.

That is a very selfish take on selfishness. It belittles true acts of selflessness and raises selfishness up to be an immutable truth of human nature. In short, it is an excuse be selfish and anti-social, dressed up in dime store philosophy and grade school level sociology.

Came here for the clippy joke, was not disappointed.

Yes, fanatics of all stripes are problematic. It's really not unique to cannabis.

Real account is ArchieBunker, not ArchieBumker. This motherfucker is OMBad, who thinks it is the height of cleverness to impersonate other Slashdot users.

1) "They make money selling new stuff, but not new stuff that is to replace old, broke stuff, just new stuff! And so they are doing repairs for their reputation." This is fucking nonsensical, can you even explain it yourself?

2) Wait, I thought Apple made it's money selling shiny new stuff? So why would they care if people repair things with a third party? Oh, they want to sell you more new stuff while they inconvenience you by requiring you to go to one of their stores. And this point is posited as a benign thing?

3) Come on. You can't possibly buy this. Every other laptop company can make thin, lightweight laptops where you can replace a battery in five minutes. The idea that you have to design in such a repair unfriendly way in order to make things lightweight is just fucking dumb.

Only an Apple fanboy could have come up with an argument that dumb, and only an Apple fanboy would think it's a good argument.

Yes. The headline is intentionally racist to generate interest. As a person with an identifiably generic American accent, I've translated between English speakers who had vastly different accents. American English is the international high standard. Queen's English is losing out, because non-rhotic accents can be ambiguous and confusing. So a real-time accent translator would be a great help to many who have trouble with the various international accents. Translating Cockney to American isn't "racist".

Can you get that tongue any further up Apple's asshole? I think you missed a spot.

I'm sorry but that brain damaged benzo addict and his grifter daughter only prove that following the bible leads to misery.

Oh don't worry, there's no way a brain-eating amoeba could possibly hurt you.

Nah man, you set up a custom modifier. For the rest of us, funny is +1.
