That's nothing, in my universe the Roman Empire never fell and we had the Internet in 1000AD.
You jokers haven't even made it past the moon, while I'm looking at a sky full of stars so prevalent that we don't even need streetlights.
(yes, I'm being imaginative)
I don't drink, personally, because I'm on medication that sometimes has odd and, though rarely, deadly reactions to alcohol. But from what I've heard, it sounds like Europeans make beer that's fun to drink, while American beer manufacturers have simply created an alcohol delivery system and added marketing to it.
When I say the above, I'm simply regurgitating what my dad has said and what I've read online. Bcause, as i said before, I don't actually drink.
Puns are never funny, I think it's more of the ironic idea of being entertained by thinking,"What moron is entertained by this?"
No one is entertained by puns, but it's entertaining to think some poor sap with a double digit age is entertained by them. That imaginary buffoon is the source of the hilarity.
In my opinion.
They also could've let the employees use their servers to back up important information. An extra perk for working at Sony Films, or whatever it's called.
Or you could have a society that is not dependent upon central banks and the fractional reserve system - one which prints its own currency debt-free and backed by a commodity such as gold or silver.
Maybe I'm wrong, but if it's backed by gold or silver, it's based on gold or silver, which means it isn't currency. If you use paper to track metal so that you don't have to carry it around, than it's no more money than a check is money. Paper money is the problem, since it's simply backed by the bankers reputation.
People like to complain about taxes, but inflation is also a tax of sorts. Inflation is how most modern governments control the citizens, by devaluing their money. But this can only be done with paper money.
Better mining methods aside, an ounce of gold can buy about the same amount of blood, sweat and tears that it could 100 years ago. I believe gold reflects the true value of a currency.
And, not to sound like a Bible thumper, I believe gold is the money God intended. No direct taxation of a citizen and gold as money, that's the way it's supposed to be. The Bible equates a country directly taxing it's own citizens to a form of servitude. Perhaps the people that run the IRS haven't heard that peonage is a version of slavery.
"Sixteen tons and whattaya get? Another day older and deeper in debt."
As long as the liquidated parts are West, Central and East Africa, I think there might actually be rejoicing in the streets if it's done
Focusing on that last part, rather than the racist first part, lack of job doesn't equate to lack of ambition. I have an anxiety disorder which makes it difficult to perform in a normal 40-hour a week job, but I'm certainly not lazy. Jobless, yes, lazy, no.
I'm going to use my free speech to say that anyone who takes the lyrics in rap music seriously is a fucking idiot.
Just go straight to the Ell Donsaii author and ask him how he feels about the technological potential of carbon.
(for the humor impaired, I'm kidding. Ell Donsaii novels are like soap operas for nerds, kind of like "so bad, they're good" movies. I recommend reading the first book to see if you like it, and I believe the first book is free as an e-book on Kindle. It's not until a couple books later that you get into the really scifi stuff.)
Do the pilots fully comprehend the fact that even though there's nobody inside the thing that it's still being controlled. Couldn't this be more about human psychology than actual danger?
If someone is deathly afraid of pit bulls and a totally tame one gets loose and tries to play with them, wouldn't they later talk about how they feared for their life from this beast, even though they were never in danger?
If it's highly radioactive, doesn't that mean it has unspent energy in it? I think anything dangerous for than a certain number of years simply needs to be sent through again. I've heard people say anything that stays dangerous for more than a few hundred years still has unspent energy.
Don't you see? We don't actually WANT a replacement for marijuana. Why can't you just let us smoke our weed in peace?
Full disclosure:I don't smoke or take drugs, but I think cigarettes are WAAAAAAAYYYY more dangerous than weed, considering the normal usage patterns.
Boring.
Yeah, I bet Hitler found his detractors equally boring.
If I may invoke Godwin's Law in a rather unique way, everyone is a potential Hitler if they lack humility. We're ALL limited, and we're ALL flawed.
It's when we deny our limitations that we have the potential to truly fuck things up.
Sorry, ADD and free association made me post that, forgot we were talking about an operating system.
"Minimal abstraction is a goal. Sheep are fools." A very christian concept I'm sure.
I think minimal abstraction is an awesome goal. The US has 10s of thousands of pages of laws and all it does is fuck us up more. I know you might not be an American. But filing a tax return in the US is horrendous, people do their best, but you never know when the IRS is going to pounce on you for some random reason.
Having tons and tons of laws is a recipe for disaster. We need a small amount of laws and just use juries and courts for edge cases. And abolish stupid shit like claiming companies are people.
(He can be aggressive and confrontational, sometimes denouncing critics with profanity and call them "nigger.")
No editors at vice?
They were referring to the word itself, referencing a slur doesn't equate to agreeing with the slurs meaning.
It's a naive, domestic operating system without any breeding, but I think you'll be amused by its presumption.
