I've never figured out why people think technological growth would be exponential indefinitely.

Theories don't all implicate the US government. There are notions of Russian/Cuban involvement, for example.

I used to live in Las Vegas, and before that SF. Downtown Las Vegas (not the strip) looks a lot like SF's bar rows. Once it became a tiny tech hub the usual culture was imported, grafted onto the surrounding Las Vegas milieu.

It can't take pictures in Jupiter's atmosphere?

Does this delete private messages? Or can recipients still see your messages and name.

Sometimes a bad location really can sink you. A new restaurant with great food at reasonable prices also may not catch on soon enough for a number of reasons and get dealt a kill date.

My mother told me this when I was a kid.

I apologize for being semantic, but I think that would answer the 'how' rather than the 'why.' I understand what you're saying though. As for the religious, well... I believe they will absolutely find a way for there not to be any major implications. New findings will be absorbed into the obfuscatory practice of apologetics.

What do you mean by this?

Why would Bezos care either way? Seems like he has more to win by not being seen as a tyrant and letting his paper publish whatever he wants about him. It's not like a critical article about Amazon is going to sink or have any effect on that Titanic.
2845197541 | 8 years ago | on: Why I deleted my Facebook account
I deleted my Facebook, created a new one with 0 friends and now only use the messenger as a second email to communicate with my actual friends if I have a message that's too long for text. And I'm so glad to not care anymore what ____ who I met at a St. Patrick's day party five years ago is doing on vacation in ____. I also enjoy not seeing my good friends falsely display their lives. There's been so many times where I was with _____ for some outing and the next day saw a different, composed representation on Facebook. Facebook is an extension of the obscurantism of photo albums of the past. It used to be that photo albums were these things that you looked into and got a sort of false narrative where in every picture everyone is smiling and you can't see the metastasizing cancer in grandpa's lungs as he stands next to Niagara falls in 1978 months shy of his divorce from grandma. Now you're not looking at a photo album's exclusion of life's complexities once in a blue moon when someone's grandmother pulls it out you're looking at it every day, several times a day, in 2d, 3d, 4d, 5d, with footnotes and notifications in an endless feed. Not to mention it's created a culture of poisoned narcissists.

"He also held a dogged belief in personal freedom, including the freedom to pollute the atmosphere with fossil fuels."
Didn't see that coming.

The girl is dumb for playing loose with American legislation for fucking chocolates.
2845197541 | 8 years ago | on: Why Not Have a Randomly Selected Congress?
I'd say them not being aware makes them dumb. Like how can you not have a clue in that position and chase chocolates. You're mid-twenties, fully grown, and dumb.
2845197541 | 8 years ago | on: Why Not Have a Randomly Selected Congress?
I didn't say all girls in their mid 20's are dumb. It's been suggested in the post above that scheduling is where the power lies.
2845197541 | 8 years ago | on: Why Not Have a Randomly Selected Congress?
Why would a representative leave so much influence in the hands of a girl in her middle twenties who's dumb enough to doll out influence to bringers of chocolate?
