Comment What year us this again? (Score 1) 101

Still living in the 1990s I see. Hey France, this has been tried multiple times and always fails.

Grow the fuck up, You show tits and ass on normal television programming. Sure, it isn't hard-core porn, but it is still the naked human form. With simulated and/or implied sex in a lot of cases.

Going to require age verification to watch TV as well?

Comment Whiskey Tango Foxtrot? (Score 0) 385

This is nothing more than a large load of bullshit. There is nothing racist in D&D -- not even the Drow. I, nor any of my many friends who play, have ever thought that any race in the game was racist, no monsters, no nothing. If you're seeing racism in D&D then you went looking for it and didn't quit until you found it... the same way you went looking for a snowflake in the middle of an empty wheat field in the southern United States during summer and saw your own dandruff and went "See! Snowflake."

Give me a break and give this SJW virtue signalling revisionist claptrap a fucking rest already.

Comment Deregulate (Score 1) 227

And the company wants to bank the credits for future years when emissions rules get tougher -- especially if a Democrat beats President Donald Trump in 2020

Perhaps the reason we have a regulation-busting president is *because* the people are tired of having the government meddling in the fuel efficiency of automobiles (and everything else). "Government is not the answer to our problems; government *is* the problem."

Just let the industry work it out for itself. Regulations only make the problems worse. If they keep insisting on government meddling, the citizens will respond by continuing to elect regulation-busting leaders.

Butthurt much, libtard? The only reason there was an investigation is because Obama and Hillary were trying to overturn the results of an election. Combine that with the dozens of scandals Obama had during his administration and it's clear that Trump has single-handedly saved the United States from certain destruction.

If that bothers you, move to Venezuela. After starving for a while you'll be begging for Trump's America.

Your post demonstrates exactly what is wrong with the voting public. You've been brainwashed by the liberal media to think that conservatism only survives because of Christianity and racism (and some of you don't even think there's a difference). Conservatism is about individual liberty, free market capitalism, and a government that doesn't regulate how many tissues you can use when you blow your nose. But you're still trapped in your own little safe space where identity politics are the only thing that matters. Turn off CNN and learn how the world works. The people of West Virginia seem to still get it.

Comment Just remove the IFE entirely. (Score 1) 182

Now that airplanes have wifi, and EVERYONE brings their own screens with them, the seat back IFE is obsolete. They should just remove them entirely. Just give me a damn charger port, and if you want to sling some crappy entertainment my way, that's fine too, but the screen in the seat back just isn't needed anymore.

If they want to make the screen actually useful, maybe put Android Auto and Apple CarPlay into it, and let it be a second screen for my phone while it charges.

Comment IFE's are obsolete (Score 1) 113

With in-flight wifi on its way to becoming ubiquitous, and everyone already has a screen with them at all times, the airlines should just remove IFE's completely. There is no reason for them to exist anymore. Give us good wifi and a charger port at every seat, and we're good to go. All of us.

But if there is going to be an IFE, at least outfit it with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, so we can use it as a heads-up screen while we charge our phones.
