I gave up on it long ago, the Boing Boing Nazis censor the living crap out of anyone who doesn't worship them and agree with everything they say. I'm fairly left leaning, and they make me look like [insert conservative nutjob], people like Xeni Jardin and her pretentious bs make me barf.
Laugh if you will, but it's this kind of shit that makes me still buy music on CD. Then I can rip it wherever, and in whatever format/quality, I want.
I like that Amazon Prime automatically gives me access to mp3s to any CD that I buy. That's the best of both worlds. And even if they change that, or I stop being a Prime member -- I still own/have CD quality music.
How about we do that for ACs who don't have the balls to post their garbage as anything but what they are... anonymous cowards.
It's always how it's been, longevity/immortality won't change that.
Funny, and yet, somewhere out there, there are iFanatics who probably think that's true...
I can't even go near Wired anymore. It's as if Apple is the only tech company on the planet and anything they touch is gold -- no, not just gold, but iGold, it's better than original gold. I literally looked up their parent company because I was sure Apple owned them.
And oh yeah, Apple invents everything according to Wired it seems, they'd never borrow/steal, no never... because no other company could ever innovate or invent.
I don't get why people are basically saying 'fuck you, tough shit'.
These are kids who worked their asses off to get into college and have to OUTPERFORM peers to to get into the same schools. This is not the case of an under qualified or underachieving person getting in simply because of their race (which I never liked), but getting pushed out even though THEY'RE BETTER CANDIDATES because of their race.
How does anyone think this is fair or just? Jesuz fuck people, imagine if that was your kid....

It's not that my tastes calcified, it's that I know music from the 50s-80s wasn't as brutalized and over manipulated by audio engineers, and musicians used to be able to actually sing and play instruments.
Like what exactly? And please, not astrological-like vague crap, I mean actual specifics?

Meanwhile shall we look at all the wars, murder and mayhem conducted in the name of religion/god? Not sure what the character limit is on
The less people believe in their imaginary sky fairies the better... better for science and rational policy making as well.
Plus, I'm kind of pulling for The Flying Spaghetti Monster... cause HE IS the real deal you know...
Yeah -- there are false rape accusations but THE MAJORITY ARE NOT (FBI stats show about 2-8% are false). And then there's the pressure women feel to not report (shame/fear), religious baggage, and then being re-victimized by cops/courts:
" Baltimore’s “unfounded” rate used to be the highest in the nation, at about 30 percent, due partly to questionable and sometimes downright abusive police procedures, such as badgering a woman about why she waited two hours to report a street assault. By 2013, an effort to provide better training and encourage full investigation of all complaints reduced that rate to less than 2 percent."

Some women recant, not because a rape didn't happen, but because of the shit they'll have to face. Only 40% of rapes are even reported because women know they'll deal with all the usual shit (were you drinking, what were you wearing, did you smile at him -- which to people like you seems to mean 'she was asking for it')
You sound like a rape apologist and victim blamer. So why don't YOU 'open your fucking eyes'
... most of the comments here scare the sh-t out of me.
A lot of people whining that the world isn't fair to men, are you fucking kidding me? Who gets raped, men? RARELY. And the whole 'so many women falsely accuse men of rape'. That's total fucking bullshit.
Who has to actually carry a child to term, and possibly raise them alone when the man bails, men? Who still are generally underpaid compared the other sex, men. Who runs the vast majority of the governments and writes the laws, men.
I know lots of young egotistical narcissistic young men who think they're fucking so special that if a women rejects their 'charms', suddenly they're a b-tch or a c-nt. Comments above demonstrate the point perfectly.
C'mon people, I'm not promoting self-flagellation, but seriously do you REALLY think that way?
I was thinking the same thing. Already sounding disgruntled (woe is me...), not a team player, and a selfish little narcissistic who feels he's so special. Given the current market trends, he's lucky to be working at all.
