More like "But I invested money and got the shaft". But yeah, when you're investing, you're definitely taking on risk.

I don't even know what you mean. Reality doesn't have morals, and the feds, at least to the extent they're involved, haven't been at all friendly to the notion of employers doing this.

Yeah, but it seems like the point was "Does Google have good ideas anymore?" not "Can I stick with my status quo come hell or highwater?"

I think I specifically have a point that they're not a substitute for emergency calls.

Have you ever actually called those?

They say "If this is an emergency, please hang up and dial 911".

No my central point was clearly that you were making a false equivalence. The end. You can live in an imaginary land where I said something different, but you have to know that's bullshit.

Oh, look, you responded to the side points of my post with mindless detail quibbling on points I acknowledged as valid, which is fucking petty

And then you responded to the central argument of my post with brainless hostility.

You. Are. Stupid.

"better sourced"

lol. I forgot that academic journals were less credible than youtube videos. I double lose.

Or...

Get this....

It's one of the many douchebags who always share your views also happening to share your views in this particular context who submitted the article, and no reflection of general attitudes on slashdot.

You care because that's how roblimo feeds his family. Video ads of products.

Ah, you're conflating the notion that some people in a similar position to you do create that environment with the notion that you specifically do.

Also, I think my "preferred group" would nominally be middle class straight white males, since that's what'd benefit me personally the most.

I forgot that the point of links was to have a certain number, and not to support a point you're making. That retroactively means I lose all debates.

Darn.

Your technicality is acknowledged and discarded on the grounds that your love of the status quo is arbitrary.

And besides, don't you want your home country to win more gold medals.

And here's your "It's not sexism because [pile of blantantly and boringly sexist beliefs]" post that you can't seem to avoid in these discussions. That it's in direct contradiction to much more scientific observations about how society and sexual roles interact that I posted is just icing.

It could be that it was a contextless copy-past spam post that doesn't even begin to address what I actually said.

I mean, maybe redundant would've been a better mod, but your agenda doesn't justify crappy posts.
