Yeah because time management is the only metric for measuring personal responsibility, right? Or because you're an exceptional specimen and always leave on time and are never in a hurry. I mean EVER. You're that good.

Have ... have you ever driven on a road before or been in traffic? As the parent comment was pointing out, there are plenty of bad drivers for various reason (I know this probably comes at a shock, but just like personal responsibility, there's not one metric for determining if somebody is a "bad" driver) which include not using turn signals, not knowing how to use a left lane to pass, drinking while intoxicated, blocking intersections because they can't predict where a car might end up (or in the intersection because the guy in front of him leaves space for 2 whole cars for some reason), pulling into traffic, when waiting 5 seconds would have been safer, etc. I'd argue most of those are more relevant to preventing accidents than some number that could be shifted up / down by ~5mph

Mostly a grievance against people who barely passed their driving exam and can't adjust their driving to the flow and location of traffic. But yeah, some speed limits are dumb. Sucks when I get out of Texas and the highway speed limit just drops 10 mph because Arkansas hasn't figured out that speeding isn't what's causing most of their accidents, but their terrible pothole-infested highways. Once again, you swing to an extreme here and just assume he hates all speeding laws instead of assuming there's some sort of scale. You think he doesn't wanna slow down in a school zone to protect kids? Well, if you do I'd say that's mostly projection on your part

I think you've made it clear this app is for people who who like to exercise power and want to punish people. It wouldn't surprise me to find out you probably support an app to get a snapshot of people smoking a joint if you smell a little weed. You know, gotta punish those LAW BREAKERS. Laws are perfect and should never be challenged, eh?

Yeah, because if there's one thing you can unilaterally trust, it's WORDS POSTED ONLINE. Are you serious? Is that your burden for proof?!

I'm no fan of Biden, but you're the one sucking on the conspiracy dick here buddy. Let's say all the bullshit you said is true. I mean, you didn't provide links and I'm not going to do your research, BUT LET'S JUST SAY IT'S TRUE. What then? How does this come back to Biden and if it does, does he lose his presidency? How is the Biden nepotism with somebody who's not involved in politics worse than say, Ivanka or Jared, who were actively involved in Trump's presidency?

It's kind of easy to tell what a person's brain is like just by virtue of them mentioning Hunter Biden. It's somebody who can be gaslit and with the smallest spark, yet they burn the brightest because they just feel like they're right, and that gives them all the energy they need. It's the kind of person who will shout that "masks are communism, you can't control me" while simultaneously advocating for the war on drugs and controlling a woman's right to choose. It's the kind of person who will talk about their freedom to worship and then turn around and tell you how to worship or that you can't be an atheist or Muslim. It's the kind of person who will tell you Trump is a "man of god" while ignoring that he broke one of the 10 commandments, "Thou shalt not commit adultery". It's the kind of person who will tell you how terrible China is, yet bend over backwards for the corporations making hand-over-fist by sending production to China.

But hey, it's hard to blame the poor fool who gets swept up by the rhetoric of con men. Personally, I blame the poor education system. It's not your fault you lack critical thinking skills and latch onto anything you've been trained to. I just hope that in the future, when somebody shouts "squirrel", instead of chasing it right away, maybe check to make sure it's actually a squirrel?

You're right, there isn't just ONE PLACE, there are many. It's almost like being globally connected has improved our access to resources. Why do you need to bring in exotic plants? You can get all your essential aminos by eating a variety of readily-available veggies. Do you know people that eat like ... one vegetable on a salad and call it done? No, they eat a handful of different vegetables offering various aminos and micro nutrients. Why do you need a viable source of creatine when your body can just make it? Are you a world-class athlete that needs an extra 5g of creatine before a workout or has nature seen fit to give you the ability to create something it gave all the other animals the ability to create?

Well it's not enough, but assuming it WAS, you don't need some miracle for easy synthesis of stuff like this. Ever tried to buy creatine monohydrate from a GNC? it's like one of the cheapest supplements around you can get.

Also being relatively new to "veganism", what are the ideological grounds to oppose supplements? Creatine for instance is made by combining sarcosine and cyanamide in a reactor. Are vegans against science and somebody just forgot to tell me?!?!

Too bad I can't read the investigation in the article because the link is broken. Do scientific publications change URLs often? Anyways, I was trying to get at the source of the study because a lot of studies that support meat are paid for by people who would profit off said research. I haven't ever seen a commercial along the lines of "Broccoli, it's what's for dinner."

This is a dumb fucking argument on so many levels. First lemme make the same dumb argument but about something else.

IMO, every techno-file should try living in rural Africa for a few years, without bringing any first world resources or money in, and then after that tell everyone just how awesome technology really is.

It's like when the government says a program isn't going to work, and then does everything they can to undermine it only to say "See?! It was doomed to fail from the start!"

Like the fact that eating red meat daily triples heart disease-related chemicals? Or how about the fact that meat and processed food has an inflammatory effect on endothelial function? Maybe it's all those other omnivores our dental makeup takes after (outside of pigs, rhinos and other primates, I don't see a lot of commonality)? Could it be the fact that the diet of our nearest ancestors in the animal kingdom consist mainly of a balanced diet and not mostly plants or anything?

Humans are adaptable animals, there is no doubt. Given human history, it made/makes sense to eat what you can when you can find it. What you seem to fail to realize is that we've gotten to the point where we can rise ABOVE it. Look, everything about our physiology says we weren't designed to wear pants, but we've managed to rise above that so we don't have our dicks waving in the wind.

OK Timmy, point out where the vegan touched you ...

Look, it sounds like you just have a huge bias towards vegans based off this last line. FORCED? Seriously?!?! I want people to eat healthy and do what makes sense for their bodies, but nobody is forcing veganism like you seem to allude to. You think that as a vegan, if somebody needed to subsist on chicken liver for the rest of their life just to survive I'd try to force them off it or chastise them for their "heretical" lifestyle? That's some malarkey, sir. You must be confusing veganism with asshole-ism. While not mutually exclusive, they are definitely not correlated.

It may not be a majority, but to think they don't represent some of this percentage is willful ignorance. You seem to asserting that the decisions of Trump supporters are derived from a place of logic and not from a place of emotions.

Conventional wisdom also says you probably shouldn't trust a candidate for president who isn't willing to show their tax returns when everybody else has for the last 40-or-so years or who can't string words together without sounding like a drunken homeless guy with more than a few loose marbles, but look where that got us. There are plenty of poor white racist Trump supporters out there who can blame the colored guy for doing EXACTLY WHAT THEY THEMSELVES DO, but don't see the hypocrisy.

You can't possibly be asserting that southern states like MS, NM and AL who rely heavily on financial aid and tend to always vote Republican don't have ANY Trump supporters hurting their own interests, can you? Maybe even a not-so-insignificant portion?! Oh well though ... it's 2018. Words don't mean much anymore. Just keep on believing whatever I guess.

By that logic, you could argue that even if we only had one ISP in the whole USA, it would still be competitive based on comparative rates with international ISPs, right? Also have you ever lived in rural Indiana? I'm from there and I can tell you that service in those areas is nowhere near as good as the larger cities. To be competitive you have to have comparable services. Quality rural service is an afterthought to these companies because they know there are no other options.

Also, if they cared about competition, they wouldn't lobby against municipal ISPs with such vigor. They don't WANT to be competitive. When used by telecomms companies, words like "competitive" and "unlimited" are just buzz words.

You read the CNN article though before posting it, right? Which means you probably saw the line that says "The move got Trump some laughs, and a smile from Abe, who actually appeared to dump out his box of food ahead of Trump."

There's a difference between spin and falsehoods. Spin has always been a thing, but as long as they aren't lying, I would argue they can be trusted for the most part. That doesn't mean don't be skeptical of your news, but it also means you shouldn't completely dismiss the truths within because the title has a little spin. Nothing about that title is false as he did "wind up pouring his entire box of food into koi pond".

If you're going to come out swinging, at least pick a better story and Snopes article to support your beliefs.

Yeah they were so sure of their statement they posted as AC, just like you.

Look nobody can smell what you don't have you eunuch. If you had balls you wouldn't hide behind AC and talk from high upon your pedestal. The fact that your retort talks about another man sniffing your balls says far more about you than him. How much experience do you you have with crotch sniffing? WHY WOULD YOU EVEN SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT YOU ANONYMOUS BASTARD?!?!

And yet, the US still has a higher incident of rape per person. It's OK to leave your house once in awhile to make sure the world is still in one piece, despite whatever Fox might claim.

You know he has a lot of his own factories outside of the USA right? Guess it's a "Do what I say and not what I do" situation here.

Also what about the times where he threw American intelligence under the bus in favor of appeasing Putin? Guess it's a "good guys on both sides" situation here.

Globalists to F the USA? Alex Jones, is that you?! Yo whatup dawg. I'm right down the street from you!

So much money that they are still working on his tax return.

LOL unless you're Amazon, Harley or somebody who gets on his bad side. Let me guess, he isn't going to start with his companies though.

If there is anybody who knows about mob mentality, it's Trump who employed Roy Cohn who ACTUALLY represented mafia members.

What I find "funny" about this last statement is how when poor Mexicans seeking asylum are crossing the border, they're enemy #1 and separating families is "just part of doing business" because they "broke the law". When Google breaks the law, you make up excuses instead of using previous rhetoric about "breaking the law". If that's not hypocrisy, I don't know what is. Turns out, if you break the law, you get punished.

You know, as a person who pays into health insurance for others "unhealthy lifestyles" without ever taking out, I'm one of the dumbasses who wants to keep it that way. Insurance, by it's very own nature, is going to have people people who take more and those who give more. There is no way around that.

But you know, if we decided we wanted to care about other people and not just ourselves, universal healthcare would also bring about broader policies to help people get into and maintain "healthy lifestyles". With privatized healthcare, that's just not the case. No health care company is going to get you in the door preemptively to help fight against diabetes before it happens. They're more happy to let it happen and and then charge you out the ass for it because they're in the MONEY business and not the HEALTH business. It's the whole reason why we pay more per person than other nations for our precious privatized health care.

So, why did I put "healthy lifestyle" in quotes? Who's going to determine what is healthy? Certainly not you. I don't need my premiums raised if I'm a non-smoker and non-drinker just because I might be into rock climbing. Should my premiums go up because a healthy activity I find enjoyable could cost an insurance company more money? No. Fuck that noise.

If you want to stick it to the unhealthy, why not just tax the things that make an unhealthy lifestyle? Is it because you don't agree with the regulation or is it because you yourself engage in said unhealthy lifestyle from time-to-time?

What is the correlation between being poor and being unhealthy? Does it make sense that the people with the highest premiums should also be the poorest? I think not. How is a person supposed to pull themselves out of the healthcare-poverty loop? Do you just expect a large swath of the population to just get rich?

Either way, I don't think you really thought this through. I sincerely hope you get financially fucked and get into some shit situation because it seems like that's what it takes these days for people to feel empathy. Maybe you'll get a couple fingers chopped off and then you can decide which one is more important (and cheaper) so they can reattach it. Not like those chumps in Canada who would get ALL of their fingers back just for showing up. Don't they get a choice? Where is THEIR freedom? Who would assume I want all of my fingers back?! That's absurd!

Please don't use 'social "justice" idiots' anymore. You sound like my geriatric relatives who spend 83.7% of their day shouting at the TV. Regardless of what good points you've made, they get watered down by unnecessary bias tacked on at the end.

False. Bernie Sanders was telling them what they NEEDED to hear. The truth. Is it any surprise the elites want to bury annoying facts? No. Can't have some guy who is talking about sensical things to become a candidate!

Telling people what they want to hear is "I'll fix everything because I'm the best and I know all the best people." Don't even try to paint Bernie and Trump with the same brush. One of em has a color palette that is red, white and blue. The other one has one that is green, brown and orange. I'll let you figure out which palette the giant orange man who loves money and covers everything in shit uses.

Wouldn't think it would make much difference. Lobbying drives a lot of policy anyways and said corporations are still going to lobby to 3 smaller states just as they would to a single state.

It's always the overly emotional people who post anonymously, isn't it?

Where do YOU live that people are so perfect? Every day on my way home there are handfuls of assholes who can't be bothered to do the most simple things we learned in drivers education like using turn signals, looking before merging, using the left for passing, turning headlights on at night, etc. That's not including those who are preoccupied by using their cellphones, talking on the phone, watching something, focusing on a podcast or whatever else they might be doing. What makes you think a human driver wouldn't be trying to send a quick text while they think there are no traffic issues to worry about?

Fact of the matter is, in all my years of biking on the road and crossing streets illegally (whose got time for sidewalks on campus?), I haven't been hit once. I take it upon myself to ensure my own safety by not making assumptions and using the senses I was born with to accumulate data about the world going on around me. I look 2-3 times (both ways), listen to sounds, judge the relative speed and how long it would take me to cross comfortably or whether I would need to hurry it up to avoid a close call, account for visibility and night-time conditions, installing lights on not only the front and the back of the bike, but also on the spokes so you can see me from the side, I wear light-colored clothing at night, I have lights on the back of my helmet, blah blah blah.

Not only did she not have the right of way, she didn't even make any attempts to be a "good" biker or pedestrian. If she was in all black but had lights, then at least I could give her some benefit of the doubt. If an adult jumps over the fence into the den of bears at a zoo and gets eaten, do you blame the zoo for not building a fence high enough or the guy who put himself into a bad situation that could have been avoided?

I hate Uber too, but pretending this woman doesn't deserve some sort of Darwin Award is absurd.
