You can try, but I don’t see how they’ve done anything that makes them liable to a lawsuit. I’m just adding them to my list of companies I won’t do business with when they inevitably come back to consumers after the bubble pops.

What I meant is that wielding new science and technology against people is in no way unique to capitalism. Every system we’ve ever tried has done that at one point.

No. That evil has nothing to do with whichever socio-economic system is your particular choice of boogie man.

“Assuming a spherical child and no air resistance, how far will the child travel?”

At this point, I’d even be willing to forgo the punishment, if they’d just stop fucking doing it.

Yes, I understood some of those words.

Is there any other universal icon that is at all related to throwing things away? The recycling icon might just be a win by default.

How it possibly be “bog standard” when it’s the only developed nation on the planet where it’s true?

assuming she has one

Aaaand there’s the rub. Poor and pregnant? You can just go fuck yourself.

Actually, if that makes it onto the enterprise version of Windows, it could be fun. I’d love to pit Microsoft’s dumbass AI against my company’s dumbass IT policies.

What apps do you have in mind? I’ve never come across anything where the video card was the issue (assuming it is already working on the host system).

That’s a new one. Don’t think I’ve ever heard of a narrative where Democrats blamed anything on trans people.

I’m lucky that the type of competitive shooters that all seem to be using kernel level anti-cheat, have never appealed to me. I ditched windows on my home stuff last year and there’s definitely no going back. Now if only industrial software writers would make Linux variants. Not going to hold my breath on that one though.

I have a different hat for when that becomes necessary. Or alternatively, I go outside.

So many Bubba’s to choose from.

I’m going to choose to believe that if it’s not Clinton, it’s Bubba the love sponge.

Doesn’t have to actually be on the island to acquire the pictures.

Your conviction about one possible position being correct has absolutely no bearing on whether or not the conversation should be had. If your position is so concrete, a discussion should be no issue for you, as you can never convince anyone else with a simple “my position is right, everything else is wrong.”

Edit: that part is phrased awkwardly. What I think I’m trying to get at is that no matter how strong your personal conviction, the conversation still needs to be had, since not everyone agrees with you. Of the people who disagree, yes some are essentially lost causes on that topic, but others can still be convinced. You can’t do that convincing if you always try to just shut down all conversation.

You’ve missed my point. I don’t actually care where you stand on when and how it’s decided that a given abortion is allowed; my point was that you can have the discussion without resorting to religioun based arguments.

We have our own population of anti-vax morons.

This one I can see lasting for a while. With abortion, there’s at least a valid discussion about when existing rights begin to apply to a fetus. Even without the religious angle, there’s some discussion to be had (ie at conception vs at viability vs at birth).

With same-sex marriage, they would have to justify taking away a right from adult citizens. That’s going to be damn hard to do without resorting to a purely religious angle. I don’t think they are ready to go full on theocracy yet. Maybe during Trump’s third term.
