... That describes every job... ever. Unless you are the one stealing the resources directly from the land... in which case: Fat salaries on other peoples' property. But hey, hate on the academics, they are the WORST! right?

Music theory and the humanities in general are concerned with the creation of culture itself. It is just as important as a 'practical application'. (IMO)

Which discipline are you speaking of? That kind of money I've only heard of in finance land (for academics)... and that kind of dried up after 2008.

No, I sited the fact all these wearable apps have heaps of usage. But yes, comments on the internet are "one person think". Good luck with the self-rationalisation you got going there.

"Many think" differently to what you said, as I illustrated. Which therefore actually defines wearables in "fitness" as a huge success, which is the exact opposite of the point you were making. You have a whole industry

I run 60km+ per week, I use wearables to track performance and do accurate heart rate training. I compete with my friends for distances, speeds, segments, Nike fuel any other metric we think is fun. I don't lack will power (when my wea

funny that your response was exactly what i cautioned against. Japan actually invaded half the world, they have nuclear technology and capability to produce weapons. Same as Germany, Russia, and of course the US. You have countries like Pak

Would potholes still exist? Water can't penetrate plastic and soften it's structure, and tires can't grip onto plastic and rip it up... so it seems like there wouldn't be that problem.

Traction and plastics... Get 3M on the case!

Why down vote? It fits the EXACT criteria outlined by the GP? I'd be interested to hear a rational argument for why it's okay for Israel to pursue nuclear weapons but not a neighbouring county? (Please don't resort to some qu

Ketosis is a pretty weird state brought on by lack of carbohydrates. The liver starts producing ketones, ketones rapidly breakdown fat cells to boost blood sugar. It is mostly unrelated to diabetes as that relates to insulin response.

Dismissing opposing view points as koolaid is a bit weak. Just accept people don't agree with you. It's okay. We can both be right and wrong here. I see it as a comedy, not a statement on modern day gender roles. People relate t

But doesn't this miss the fact that "humanity" is emotionally driven and making decisions based on pure logic is un-human? We also have a brain with multiple subsystems that can override each other, and we see this behaviour

I don't think this is a new thing. As I said, Disney are in the business of Princesses. Cinderella - The prince was an idiot, he couldn't even recognise a woman he danced with all night. Beauty and the Beast - All the male charac

As I kind of indicated in my first comment... the world is a well and truly sexist place. I kind of think outrage at disney movies is misplaced. How about outrage at governments? or companies?

by 1stop 11y ago
I thought in ketosis it wasn't energy expenditure, the liver causes fat to break down and pass through your bladder? ... maybe I have that all back to front though :\ Maybe ketones pass through your bladder and they also break down fat

What about Toy Story, Incredibles, Cars, Up... Oh wait they completely invalidate your point, I get why you left them out. Or are you saying the sexism bias came in after the acquisition? So it's a Disney thing? Ignoring the fact that

Firstly, provide a citation for the White-on-Black vs Black-on-white violence stats. Also indicating level of violence (i.e assaults, robberies, murders, etc). Your definition of an immigrant is interesting, and seems to suggest an assimil

Given capitalism gives us the profit motive. The profit motive inevitably leads to a company prioritising dollars over people (whether that is a consumer/supplier/employee/etc). Lets also agree that prioritisation is generall

Agree. My point was changing driver/cyclist behaviour is not victim blaming, but a valid approach to solving the problem. Road Design, car design, culture, etc are all valid factors as well.

... Wait, Uber is evil, because a guy you know bought a car he couldn't afford and Uber didn't pay him enough to pay it off? So if I bought a ferrari, and I can't really afford to pay it off... the company I work for is evil.

by 1stop 11y ago
Lets unpack this myth of pure evil argument you've got going. Uber is an evil company because they do some evil things? Are they then not a good company because they do some good things? Or are you saying ALL their actions are evil, an

I know, the audacity. Soon they'll suggest drivers wear seat belts, and drive at a set speed limit! It's not the drivers fault! It's the tree/cliff/road design's. Anything else is victim blaming!

You would make the unpleasant-ness a metric you measure.

No it won't... It will at most trigger the AGPL for the integration off that system... which is it's proprietary no one will ever want... hence no one will ever sue you to release it. Are Tinfoil hats on sale or something?

That's a specific (but common) use of the loss-leader strategy, but not the definition. The strategy itself is to sell something at a loss, to get a lead/marketshare/conversion.

So Apple run a loss-leader... where they don't incur the loss, and just get the lead. Scum.
