"Loosers"

Speaking of people that didn't get much out of education...

I've had a rift DK2 for nearly a year now, and this has been around for quite a while. Text is a bit more readable than it typically is in most VR games because the windows are mapped on to a curved surface. Ultimately it's still too awkward and low resolution (due to the DK2 splitting a 1080 display to show an image for each eye) for serious use. it remains a neat novelty that will make your friends go "wow".

Holy shit, someone had an outbreak of common sense. What's the containment protocol for this? Do we nuke the site from orbit?

That makes no sense at all. If I can't negotiate my own salary as part of the hiring process I don't want to work for you. Plain and simple. This crap isn't about leveling the playing field between men and women. It's about a company saying "this is what we'll pay, and it's non-negotiable".

Hopefully Reddit fires Ellen soon. This woman is delusional.

Feel free to keep telling yourself that.

I see no evidence so far that this is guaranteed to happen. I don't see any evidence that we've even started to move forward again. What Governments are showing right now is that they can do whatever they want, whenever they want, and when exposed there are no consequences. It's really only a matter of time until they stop trying to hide it and just do it out in the open, since society as a whole doesn't seem to give much of a shit, or if they do, they're backed in to such a corner that nothing can be done at a meaningful level.

You are right that society will economically collapse again. Probably repeatedly. However this will not impact the rich, because a collapse just makes the rich slightly less rich. It impacts Joe sixpack a ton more. This is not moving forward, it's getting stuck in a loop.

For as much as we've gained, we're beginning to move backwards. Greater resistance to totalitarianism has changed to greater sneakiness in circumventing democracy. Longer lifespans and greater health, but longer work hours, fewer holidays, and lower wages.

I get what you're saying, that we can consider some of the things we've gained to be wins. However if you look at the overarching picture you'll see that developed nations actually have fewer freedoms than they did even 10 years ago.

Bleak, but not far from the truth. It has been proven time and again that humanity to not capable of its own checks and balances. If you take humanity in the context of its entire existence, it's hard to be an optimist.

If it ever goes to trial it won't matter how much money people throw at Snowden's lawyer(s). He will lose. If there was any chance of a fair trial, Snowden probably would have come back to the US by now.

Sure there are people driving them. They just happen to represent the vast minority, and there are reasons for that.

I'd like to see electric cars succeed, but they won't as they are now.

In 5 years I've seen a total of one leaf on the road. See? My anecdotal evidence is just as good as your anecdotal evidence.

From my repeated comments I don't like the current state of electric cars. They're either over-priced, or under-performing.

Following a highway is not a thing to brag about. Cars you can buy right now are already capable of doing this.

All that has changed is the $60,000 electric cars are better to the point of acceptability. The $20,000 electric cars that most people could afford are still garbage.

Let's not forget that the majority of people don't buy new cars either. They buy used cars.

Wow. Just, wow. Aside from the fact that these people are getting subsidised out the ass, you really present yourself as a completely clueless asshat.

10,000 people buying an electric is not making a significant difference in the face of the millions of gas powered cars out there.

...and why exactly do you think people are offloading them? Because they're shitty cars that don't cover a lot of edge cases. Part of the reason people buy electrics is because of the low maintenance and high longevity. The fact that there's a large number of people trying to get rid of them doesn't speak favorably in that regard.
