Comment Re:All or Nothing? (Score 1) 268

It's like saying, "Guns aren't a problem because bullets can be dodged. Sure we don't dodge all bullets but we got to start somewhere." The trouble is that plastic is never recycled, you heard me never. The molecules are damaged during the "recycling" process, so you never end up with virgin plastic. So all plastic minus a rounding error goes to the landfill because it costs a lot to "recycle" plastic into a cheaper inferior product.

While there's some value in recycling plastic, the recycling programs main purpose is to get people to forget the most important part of "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle in that order"

Also, these dummies seem to forget that every single virus uses hundreds of different mRNA, so if you're scared of one doctor-approved mRNA you should be 100x more scared of the common cold. Also we know for a fact there are serious long term effects from coronavirus (long covid).

I have yet to hear a Jew or Muslim or Hindu business person claim the same.

Well today is your lucky day. Look up Jews and Palestinians, Muslims and gays, Hindus and Pakistanis. Turns out every religion humans follow, some humans are dicks to other humans in the name of their religion. Doesn't really matter if their religion says to do the opposite, and it's not limited to religion either.

Yup, Congress has no authority to pass laws for "securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries" unless those laws are "to promote the progress of science and useful arts". There's no reason to follow fantasy made-up rules, unless you have a gun to your head.

I don't think it's hypocrisy.

1) Goliath made the rules.
2) We don't like the rules.
3) The rules usually favor Goliath but this time they favor David.
4) Yay David fuck Goliath real good, using the rules we don't like, so that Goliath might have reason to change the rules.

It's all perfectly consistent with "these rules suck".

Comment Drones will be used against you. (Score 3, Interesting) 102

Drones are no longer so expensive as to only be available to the military, now they're cheap enough to be used in bulk on citizens. And just because the government doesn't know even how many laws there are, doesn't mean you don't have to follow each and every one of them, especially if you have annoyed anyone in authority.

> "Renting is terrible. Owning is worse. A third option is necessary," argues a recent article in the Atlantic, "a way to rent without making someone else rich."

Lol how about buying it and then rent it to yourself, to make yourself rich? Oh wait you said that was worse.

Or maybe we could stop using zoning laws to forbid people from building affordable houses because that would stop houses from appreciating in value (also known as becoming increasingly unaffordable).
