When I told you once, I told you a thousand times, and run Google translation by hand twice, and then run the grammar checker word.
If you copy a word for word, and then caught.

I have a friend who got back from a trip to India. She was traveling in a group with some other women and one man. The taxi drivers would grab the women by the arms and force them in the car like luggage, and then talk with the man about where he would like to go (with his women). My friend had bruises on her arms from repeated grabs.
I'm having a bit of trouble feeling sorry for the 'victims' who chose to sell out here. If they are taking hush money, then they are complicit here.
I have higher expectations from proto-humans than some zigzag lines scratched into a shell. Come on, you really expect me to accept that as art?
Not (just) a perfectly logical person, but a perfectly logical selfish person. Altruism perplexed game theorists for years.
Capitalism is about owning and trading things, not about making things. Certainly making things is a big part of owning them, and is a big drive of the capitalist model, but it is not a defining feature, as all societies make things. A defining feature is owning and trading things that are not (human) made, such as land, water rights, and the electromagnetic spectrum.
As far as hitting wandering creatures goes, there is no real-world difference (in either chance or damages caused) between driving 60mph and 85mph
That statement goes against common sense and needs to be backed up with something.
Perhaps the solution isn't to pay workers more, but to pay CEOs less.
There are two types of mass: inertial mass and gravitational mass. As far as we know, these two are equivalent.
Inertial mass is the resistance to motion (change in velocity). In Newtonian terms, F = ma. In special relativity, F = dp/dt = d(gamma*m*v)/dt
So, you can define mass as long as you can define a velocity and acceleration.
Gravitational mass is associated with gravity. In Newtonian physics, F = -G*m1*m2/r^2. In general relativity, gravitational mass is equivalent to rest energy. Gravity is given by Einstein's field equations which depend on the stress-energy tensor, which is a 4x4 matrix. The [0,0] element of the matrix is the rest energy density, which is the gravitational mass density/c^2.
Unfortunately, the term matter isn't universally agreed upon. Let's look at the definitions in wikipedia:
1. Does it have mass and volume (occupies space)? A phonon has mass, and maybe has volume, but doesn't 'occupy space' because it is a boson.
2. relativity, has rest mass? Phonons don't fit the equation E^2 = m^2 c^4 + p^2 c^2, because they have nonlinear dispersion equations, so it doesn't really make too much sense to talk about them at rest. They aren't Lorentz invariant, since they depend on the velocity of the material they are traveling through.
3. Is it made of atoms. Phonons are not made of atoms.
4. Is it made of electrons and baryons. no.
5. Is it made of quarks and leptons? No
The term mass, without additional qualifications, means rest mass. Unusual definitions of mass ought to be clearly labeled, such as relativistic mass.
Matter has mass, but not all that has mass is matter. There are several types of polaritons, and some of them are clearly not matter, even though they have mass. Phonon-electromagnetic wave quanta are clearly not matter. Moreover, you state that light has no mass, which normally I wouldn't disagree with, but in the context of polaritons, what about light propagating through nonlinear media? I think it's totally appropriate to say it is massive.
Can't be done in a month before release.
Am I wrong to think that plumbing, as a profession, will outlive every job in the tech sector?
With your bare hands?!?
