I honestly can't understand how people spout some of this crap. I've also grown up in a region where education was overlooked, and living with complete fucking morons is not fun. Especially when these morons themselves think that

Workers move where there are jobs. I haven't seen anything else, anywhere. Factories were built where it was cheap or where the founders decided, but to be fair, as close to people as possible.

It's not only the US, risk aversion has increased all over Europe, as well. Drink bottled water, travel to safe destinations, god forbid you find an insect or even hair in your food, don't let the kids outside by themselves, don&#

Why intriguing? That's the only way I see it going, as well. The Internet is already an extended memory. Other people's minds are an extended processing power, as well. It can only get closer and more tightly integrated to our bra

It's the animal side vs you , the consciousness. The animal side is happy with eating, shitting, sleeping, fucking, pointing and laughing at funny stuff, punching other people and things. You, on the other hand, are trapped inside thi

That would actually work just as well as full legalization. Except some people would still take too much of that substance and die, and then the banheads will be at it again.

More importantly, it's a bit stupid/outdated to stockpile dangerous stuff when you have the facilities to produce it if/when it is actually needed.

When I did SEO, it was extremely easy to drop a page or entire website off the first page by buying a ton of trash links to them. Even disavowing links in Google's Webmaster tools (a feature they introduced to combat that) did little t

Well, they should do something besides sinking money into iterations of the Wii U, which had the same "has potential" reviews when it came out, then faded into obscurity.

Yes to all. Nintendo should probably switch (heh) to only releasing games for Android and iOS.

Something about people not getting addicted and ruining their lives. But then you see alcoholics, smokers with cancer, morbidly obese from food, stabbings... basically, follow the money to see why anything is banned, ever.

Yeah, from my experience the tests were as "random" as picking the black guy out of 20 white people. BUT they didn't target the people who did use weed or drank a lot, they tested the ones who were clean. So the company looks

And they should be free to do so. Fewer dumb people in the world. You want to pop your heroin, you're free to listen to the pros. Others think cannabis works better for them? Let them have it.

Yes, I like voice search. I still won't use "OK Google", because it's the new Bluetooth headset, only douchebags use it in public. Come on Google, how much do you lose by allowing custom phrases?

IMO it's a very good law for the population/nation/citizens. Ignoring that it will help small businesses, being able to do what you want with the things you bought should be a right, not a privilege. The government exists for

The whole planned obsolescence and recently "repairs/modifications only by authorized companies" is utter bullshit. At least it's easier to stop buying Crapple than John Deere.
