Sigh. How do you people still not get it?
Musk, West, Trump. They're all conmen. They're all businessmen. Every single move they make is calculated to make them as much money as possible.
Any publicity is good publicity. They are all brands. They know that if they say something controversial, we're going to be talking about it. This alone furthers their brand recognition and gives them more money.
That's it. That's the only point of comments like theirs.
I agree with both of you.
China's human rights abuses should never go unmentioned.
That said, they've also been investing in developing countries more than Western nations have. While Westerners focus on cannibalizing their own populations, China sees the value in spreading out and building up where there's more room for growth.
Americans have nobody but themselves to blame for their increasing irrelevance on the world stage.
Not really. I'm glad they removed the button.
It's clear for anyone who wasn't born yesterday that the "issues" the bottles team seem to have all revolve around maintaining their control over what should be free software. The "we can't keep up with bug reports" is a talking point for those who don't know any better. It's a distraction.
They don't want people repackaging their software because their donation buttons might get removed, for example.
Well, I hope you're rational enough to understand that you can't predict the future and you may actually be wrong about how bad you think things will be. What you're doing right now is 'speculating.' It's important to acknowledge that your predictions are just that, predictions. They have not come to pass yet and you shouldn't pretend that your predictions have already been proven true.
A lot of you people seem to argue as though your predictions are fact, and then get mad at anyone who says otherwise.
Was the first trump presidency better, worse, or about the same as you expected it to be leading up to inauguration?
You're part of the problem.
For future reference, when people stop answering this question it's because they see it for the distraction that it is.
When that day comes, hopefully you can realize how far behind you are and work extra hard to catch up!
Voting should also be easier.
We should be able to vote with our phones.
You got a lot of people from the 'pro-tip' crowd glad to say "I make more with tips!" whenever someone suggest replacing tips with fair wages.
If they make more with tips, then they also have to deal with not getting tipped from people like me.
I agree. It's great to have machines do the work we don't want to do so we can do other things with our lives.
We just need to get over this mentality that those who have more deserve more and those who have less deserve less.
it must be wrong about fluoride?
This is where your confusion comes from. I never said it's wrong about fluoride.
My point is that unless you understand the science yourself, you have faith in other people who do. Scientific consensus has been wrong in the past, and it will be wrong again in the future.
Everyone saying with such certainty that fluoride is good or bad without understanding the science themselves just highlights how most people treat science like a religion.
Err... yes they do.
The threat of punishment deters people from committing crimes.
