Creativity is illegal in Australia, just as being intelligent. Australian laws must take precedence over the laws of mathematics, as their highfalutin' bewigged politicians say.

Weapons - especially firearms - tend to settle pretty much any argument very quickly.

It's either friend, vassal, or a shithole country sanctioned into the ground, when not simply a smoking crater.

Wait until they realize that self-driving cars will never get a speed ticket. Ever. All the juicy lovely income from tickets will go away. Shithorities will shoot themselves in the head with flamethrowers and it won't be a second too soon.

Why are you interested in the temperatures in my home, hunh? Are you a voyeur? A thermophile? Do you get an erotic kick ogling at heat dispersion data from random abodes? Do you furiously masturbate to detailed datasheets of temperature dispersion? You pervert. You thermonanist. You should have a restraining order filed against you to prevent your perverted person to come within 300 feet of a functioning thermometer. Go take readings away from honest people. I hope someone beats you to death with a granite tablet edition of the laws of thermodynamics.

Bigwigs who have long been out of school and are completely out of touch with the needs of the population get to push another inane decision of theirs upon the suffering proles.

In case they have not been paying attention - and they have not because they do not need to - the average student today already has a lot to cram in. It's a complicated world and it's not getting any simpler. School as an institution is still teaching kids how to function in a world that has not existed now decades. In my time it was already the case, they were teaching us how to live in the world our parents had lived in, but now they're preparing students to live and work in their grand-grandparents era.

Cursive had its utility when pen and paper were the main - and often the only - way to take notes and draft documents. The time is long past. The claim that it helps in memorization is just this, a claim. I can understand that some people can't let the past go and they can fart in cursive if they want to, but imposing their quaint outdated moldy crap on kids is just despicable.

You're not going through them anyway. It's too late to make any impact now. Demographics have been in decline for decades, and it's only getting worse because the buying power of the average euro citizen is getting lower and lower. Having kids is a luxury most people cannot afford. Some decades ago, people would delay and delay the conception of the first child in order to enjoy life more. Then it became almost mandatory (especially for women) because of work pressure: you becoming a mother would mean at one time no more career option, then immediate layoff. It got so bad in many countries that one living wage was simpy not enough to pay the bills, so married couple waited and waited until it was too late. At this point in european history, having kids is unaffordable.

Now it gets worse: retirement is based on what is basically a pyramid scheme. When it was thought up it was wildly believed that each next generation would be as numerous or more than the preceding one, and it would earn more. The opposite happened. Now it's a nightmare scenario, with the boomers retiring and not enough money to pay their pensions. Add to this that automation has taken away most entry-level and low-skill jobs, even while euro governments thought they could make up the population deficit through immigration.

Well, it turns out most of the immigrants can't take those jobs or won't take them. We have now generations of radicalized folks who can't wait to jihad on your face, and they will. At this moment, the only countries in the EU that have retained some sanity are the former east bloc ones, but one wonders if it will be enough once the former west falls.

Your head is wrong, so wrong it should be removed and replaced with a cabbage. It's a movie. A movie. Fiction. Nothing else. There is no need to rationalize a choice dictated by then current technology. If anything, flat screens would be easier to replace: less bulky, you can stock more into a spare parts container. Use less power. But they didn't have them in 1979 (though Kubrick did have flat screens in "2001"). Why spend brain processing power pulling out excuses for design choices that do not need any, when you clearly have so little to spare?

Apples to oranges. Artists are intelligent, genial, interesting people. Coders are mediocre lowlifes with questionable skills.

Why are you so interested in my dust and stuff, hunh? Are you fetishists? Do you get a hard-on when looking at garbage bags? Are you aroused by the thoughts of dirt, loose hairs and crumbs? Can't get it up with your favourite mentally impaired intersex prostitute of questionable age without thinking other people's dirty floors? I'm not judging you, I'm merely curious. Do you fantasize about being a mite?

It means you can be unemployed with an attitude.

Did your parents had any offspring that lived?

Why "someone" should spend time and effort on this? If you believe it's really important, do it yourself or hire and pay someone to do it, then market the product. Or are you suggesting someone should spend their own without compensation so you can simply use the result of their effort for free, hunh? Is that the reason, you fidelcastroated madurosturbator commie tick?

Nerds aren't being bullied. In fact, nerds are some of the worst bullies ever: they usually pick on smaller kids - often preying on primary school age children - because against any larger opponent they would be torn to pieces. No wonder nerds grow up to be child molesters. What we do to bullies is called a social hygiene operation: we exclude them from society and beat them up in order to enforce their emargination. We don't want those sickos among us. So, we're not bullying them, we're pushing them to the side and away from the Beautiful People.

You misunderstand: you were not shunned and hated because you were an assburger. You were shunned and hated because you were a piece of shit.
