The only shortcoming is the user. Only install ad ons that you know and understand. And only from the official project source. Or you can (correctly) assume users are a danger to themselves and coddle them. The Google Chrome/Apple/

Typing forces people to think before they act. It is marvelous. Synchronous communication is overrated. A well written message of a few sentences can replace an hour of talking.

Natural disasters that cut off power for more than a few hours are unlikely in Northern Europe. Cell towers have their own emergency power supply to deal with the once in a decade brown out. If the power is off for days it means the Apocaly

Want to reach me? WhatsApp or a good old fashioned email. Your call be unanswered and I haven't listened to voicemail in years. Life is too short for inane babbling. I can read faster than the average person can talk.

This may be extremely shocking for Americans but most international companies do not in any way, shape or form want to be associated with guns. No IKEA doesn't want to put an ad under your video of your daughter's first AR-15.

No its not. Companies care about their brand and have always wanted some assurance that their ads don't show up in something controversial. There is actually a really simple solution here that nobody wants to talk about. DO NOT MONETIZ

Excellent point. Saying vagina in the Netherlands isn't a big deal, in the US the FCC would be calling your boss.

More emphasis on video. Which I hate. But that's not even an internet problem. People can't read or concentrate. Apart from that god save the BBC. One of the few news outlets that try not to cater to a bubble.

Its not a Jewish conspiracy. People take drugs because they are unhappy. Show me a drug addict and I'll show you someone with a mental illness, trauma or severe life problems. Apparently in the US right now there are lots of people who

My country had a heroine epidemic in the 80s and early 90s. One of the root causes was a shitty economy and chronic unemployment. All you can do in the end is try to keep things contained. They opened special places were junkies could use t

The internet was supposed to be decentralized, no? Now everyone relies on a few big parties. Luckily Google is too big to fail now so it'll be rescued by taxpayers should the shit hit the fan.

I live in a country that is rapidly becoming cashless. This was not a government program. It happened naturally and was deemed to be in the best interest of all. At every purchase people can freely choose to use cash or a card/phone. A

Fuck retail. For decades they have been fleecing customers. Now I'm no longer forced by stores to buy what they happen to have in their inventory. Want that obscure JPN VN? Done, delivered next day. I do feel bad about people losing th

Its typical human hypocrisy and stupidity. Capitalism is great, government is evil blah blah. But everyone loves those subsidised government programs.

Even if it does why use American coal? That's why coal mines closed in Europe: cheap imports from South America and Australia.

Clinton was going to be worse. But keep in mind that a weak and divided America is the first goal. Keeping Washington dysfunctional.

Sophistication? I'm of decidedly average intelligence and I laugh at these ads. Probably not the target demo though.

Actually if they are smart the NFL capitalises on the current political climate. Think about it: an NFL team sponsored by the alt right vs. one funded by Ben&Jerry's. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nika_riots

I know that smart TVs and the now defunct Kinect have the ability to monitor conversations. Hell I remember when I first used Soundhound! I was flabbergasted, what will they think of next. But I also know corporations are usually scrupulous
