This shit makes you feel like you're losing your fucking mind. Full on psychosis and dementia type symptoms. It's not worth the 1,400$ clams. I think I'll have these headaches for the rest of my life, I never had headaches before the study.

You would have never noticed had they not told you.

This is your new president.

Mod up? I don't even know how to do this it's been so long.

When did /. become the PR front for the US government?

Isn't this how zombie movies start?

LOL Right?

Why hasn't this been voted up, I just don't get it, He's is absolutely correct.

Ain't you never heard the saying fake it till you make it? Yah dang gone turn coat!

If they're willing to let Pearl Harbor happen, as well as 9/11 to get a desired outcome. What's next if you take away their bill ensuring they win? I fear a nuclear detonation will be the end result, quickly followed by a knee jerk reaction from the public.

Mod up for awesome display of profanity.

MOD UP!

The truth hurts, but at times it's exactially what we need to hear. I applaud your bravery, and I for one agree with you. Even after reading this article and being guilty of bias myself.

You're right! And you deserve to be recognised for it.

The impact of social media on our everyday lives is incredible, you'd say to yourself after reading what I wrote. Nah, not me. There's no way, but go without it for a year. See what changes... Or better yet, what changes you notice about yourself. It's actually quite revealing, take it from an ex-meathead womaniser that would once kill for his favourite football team. I really noticed it on my deployment, how out of tune I had become. It's as if every conversation with a human being in the conceptual 'normal world' somehow ends up being a ego battle of neo-pop culture trivia. If you aren't in the know, you're not cool. Knowing key references to certain movies, songs, and popular advertisements are a kin to being accepted into a peer group. Without these commonalities, you're a foreigner. Hey don't take my word for it, give it a shot. As a matter of fact, I challenge you. To turn off that TV, unplug for a bit. It did me wonders, I went from lifting weights and calling people fags all the time to learning about DRM, installing linux, reading slashdot. I ended up taking several political science classes and becoming interested in government. Though, I partially attribute the military to my interest in poly-sci. Any who, it's everywhere. Advertisements, speech, social reassurance, and now a machine? Why not, weather you like it or not it will be in every convenient store in America. But the real question is; what the hell are you willing to do about it? Ask yourself that, rather than posting on some website where people do nothing more than drone on and complain. Some complain much more eloquently than others might I add... There's a quote by George Bernard Shaw, it goes something like; Americans would rather invade foreign country than walk across the street to vote. I know that's not the quote, but it goes something like that. So if you know it please post it, but, is it not true? We're apart of a system that knows exactly how we'll react before we do, and you'd best be damn assured social media is the tool that will help us act and react accordingly.

LOL China!

To bad you were to much of a bitch to post this with your username in front of it. Because, I approve your message.
