They kill themselves so frequently. They cannot live with the knowledge that they burned infants to death and shot pregnant girls in the head for nothing at all.
If you want to support the troops? Help them AWOL.
Slashdot was a time. An Era.
There will never be a Pre-AOL Usenet. There will never be a "new Slashdot".
Your brainwashing is complete. You may now return to Central Planning for your re-adaptation to full conformity.
This story can not be true, because the police are our friends and protectors. Even CNN and Fox agree on this point.
Boobs aren't superficial.
Of course not. Boobs are superstructure...
Can someone invest as much into the quality of the content, as they are doing for the format?
By "content", I am not just concerning myself with the visual appeal or other superficial characteristic.
The EPA standards have been updated twice. That car would rate far less than 50 MPG today. Your anecdote is not reproducible, was not performed in a scientific manner, and the "knees-under chin" method of conveyance doesn't really meet with practical standards.
Yes. I'm afraid a mile isn't what it used to be...
Nor are the back-seats of compact sedans, for that matter.
It sounds like you guys had a fun week.
Well, I moved to SF 3 months later... With my whole band.
That was in a Ford pickup. In the back... Sitting on the case for my bass guitar.
It almost makes you wonder if the automakers may have exaggerated the costs of compliance, the way they always do.
I mean really. Was there ever anyone who actually thought that 25mpg was really the best a small sedan could muster?
In 1978, the American roads were filled with a little car, that did 50 EMPG. The Datsun B-210.

In 1984, I rode in the back of one with three other passengers, knees-under chin. We went 425 miles to San Francisco, well under a single-tank. Our actual MPG was better than 55, with all that load.
Because Google's business model is to create a panopticon, and monetise th einformation they collect about their subscribers.
In short, you are inventory, not a customer. This is the Google imperitive. If you wish to paly on their field, you must understand their motivation. It is not to advance humanity, or "be cool", or any other fantasy.
I need some input from the Lawn Crowd, did it feel like this in the Watergate days? I'm getting the horrible feeling that after a nice quiet 90's with nothing but a fun little sex scandal we're seeing a whole different class of nastiness today.
No, it wasn't like this.
Watergate was a relatively singular event, which elicited widescale public outrage. You couldn't go anywhere without it being a topic of convesation and dispute.
This is one of ten-thousand such outrages, perpetrated over the past decade. Like most of them, people don't know of it happening, or why it might even be wrong.
Sleep tight, America.
