Comment STOP violating the constitution! (Score 1) 110

They need to STOP this nonsense and stop violating our basic rights. Even if the people WERE okay with this crap, it's useless at this time. It's far too late. It would have been effective if we knew the truth about COVID19 at the beginning of the year and who had it then. Far too many people have it now so there is absolutely no need to trace who has come into contact with confirmed positive cases. It's far more widely spread than most people want to admit. Millions of Americans have (or have had) it.

Comment Real dolls too (Score 1) 165

Men have been falling in love with their RealDolls for years already. So, this isn't surprising. Not that I would want to encourage this mental illness, but why hasn't anyone thought to put the two together and give RealDoll speakers and a mic and AI so the person can also talk to it? But this is a sad illness. I wish these people could get proper treatment.

Comment Get over it Byron! (Score 3, Insightful) 52

I cannot get over the frequency (these days) in which non-white individuals or entities PLAY THE FREAKIN' RACE CARD!! They do it so much that it has no meaning anymore. Everything is about "civil rights" to these types of people now, when they don't get their way! Comcast has refused to accept many other networks. Get over it Byron!!

Comment Processing power isn't everything (Score 2) 110

This keeps coming up - how laughable the processing power was on Apollo 11. But when did humans walk on the moon SINCE then? Technology has come a long way but we're not in a space race right now. Processing power of today is obviously not needed to reach the moon and make a return trip. The most important things are rocket technology, trained astronauts and dedication. Computers just make things easier.

Comment Re:Donald Trump WINS in 2020! (Score 1) 690

WOW!! You dems really like to shoot yourselves in the foot, don't you? You people often accuse others of something HORRIBLE and then you go and commit the horrible act yourself! What a hypocrite! So the "TRUMP 2020" poster merely talked about locking a few people up and YOU go and make a death threat to a huge group of people. Now who's the crazy, radical person here? You need to chill out.

Comment False advertising, but not all the time (Score 1) 49

In my experience, it's been a long time since a cable company advertised a lower rate than it actually was. The last company to do that was Comcast more than a decade ago. The service ended up being MUCH higher and installation was supposed to be free, which it wasn't. I immediately canceled and I had to fight for weeks to get them to stop sending me bills. Since then, the biggest problem has been that the rate can nearly DOUBLE after the promo period and cable companies are much, MUCH less likely now to lower your rate much if you call back after the year (or whatever the contract was for). I used to be able to get them to continue the promo rate but now it's hard to get them to lower it even $10 or $15 after the huge hike. It's ridiculous. Cable / Internet prices are not in check with the rate of inflation. It's BS indeed.
