I'd root for you in this hypothetical situation. Their aim isn't good enough to one tap, that's why their protocol for dealing with anything remotely scary is to have 10 of them mag dump onto one target.

I'm around the same age and I'm pretty sure we had Google on our phones by the time we could drink. That was the in between time where they still had buttons, but they had browsers and colorful screens. First iPhone released in 07. We were pretty much the first ones to have 'smartish' phones, though, so some people definitely still had snake bricks.

I think most people also still weren't used to having the world's knowledge in their pockets and would forget that Google was even there, too. It's crazy how easily urban legends and false rumors spread around back then, before everybody knew how to fact check. I remember some particularly interesting ones about Marilyn Manson and Lil Bow Wow.

A rare whoosh has been spotted.

Yes. China has a huge hacking problem. Anytime there is a ban wave of hackers in just about any competitive online multiplayer game that Chinese players have access to, the vast majority of the IPs banned are Chinese. The gaming cafes over there even advertise hacks.

It has to do with their culture. Chinese culture is very cutthroat and survival of the fittest. It makes people have the mindset of doing anything they can to win or be successful, even if it means cheating. It's not just video games. They have a huge problem with it in their education system, as well. It's also why there is so many cheap copies and counterfeits of different products made in China.

I have seen bears run away from the sound of a rifle being fired, in person. They weren't Grizzlies or anything, just brown bears. Still, I think the sound alone is enough of a deterrent for most bears unless they are desperately hungry or cornered.

Also, they would say that the second amendment very obviously covers killer robots. The founding fathers definitely foresaw the AI revolution, and wanted to give every man and woman the right to bear killer robots.

Your comment got me curious about what would be the easiest way to make a homemade emp. Business Insider of all things has got us all covered, even if that business may be antithetical to business insiders pro capitalistic agenda.

With federal prison they send them to whichever has the least overcrowding/most staff on hand. They also take into account a bunch of other things, like how much of a risk the prisoner is for committing violence, mental or physical health requirements, etc, and send them to whichever one is best equipped to deal with the specific needs.

I don't think any sane person really wants to just kill all of the rich people. It's more about wanting their wealth to be redistributed fairly. I don't think that most of these kind of revolutions start with violent ambitions. They start with demanding the wealthy to give up their excess wealth. The problem is that some people will defend their money to the death, and respond with violence when their wealth is threatened. So they do tend to turn messy pretty quick just thanks to greed, mostly. Some people would literally rather die than have to live like everyone else.

Anybody who thinks that every rich person should be murdered is definitely unhinged and on the extremist side. I think those kinds of people are few and far between for the most part.

Rich people are not a race. So "genocide" doesn't really make sense there. "Eat the rich" does not mean "kill the rich", necessarily, either. A lot of people just use it as a metaphor for ending the massive wealth inequality through economic reform.

I have seen this in Louisiana, too. They will use helicopters(I even saw one mounted with a light machine gun) and gun down hundreds at a time. It still isn't enough, and they have a lot of Bubbas down there hunting them in one way or another.

In right wing American press, liberal means left. In left wing American press liberal means centrist.

The problem is that the right wing press has a monopoly in the states, and that's most of what you see here.

I mean the criticism seemed pretty valid to me. The commentor was criticizing the writers and editors involved in writing the story, and the article's claims are somewhat misleading. Checks out for me.

They weren't criticizing you for posting it, though, so I don't know why you seem to be taking it so personally.

I think it depends on the job, and if the substance problem is actually affecting their behavior and work performance. I think the focus should solely be on those 2 things, and not on whether the person uses drugs or not. Most people with serious alcohol and drug problems will have poor work performance, and that should be the thing they are judged for in that scenario.

There should probably be limits to professions like doctors, pilots, and drivers, in my opinion. The thing is that some drugs(in the right amounts) make people perform better at these jobs. Our pilots in the US military still carry meth pills with them for long missions. If I was on a long flight, I would definitely want the pilot to remain awake and aware the whole time. If a stimulant helps them with that, then I don't mind.

As for law enforcement, I think they should be required to get high and relax, at least on their off time. Most of our killology trained cops seem to be in constant fight or flight mode with the public. They seriously need something to calm their nerves and ground them in between shifts, and right now, their go to is alcohol, which is worse than other drugs they could partake in.

If other lives depend on said job, then yea they should probably be tested. The vast majority of jobs are just meaningless drivel, though, and whether the employee does drugs or not shouldn't matter.

That is completely field dependent. I worked many years of retail and a bit of construction before eventually becoming a software engineer. In my experience, both retail and construction can easily have 9 hours of work in a 10 hour workday. Now that I'm a software engineer, your comment is more akin to my experience with the amount of actual work getting done, while the rest of the work week is filled with time wasting things, like meetings and such.

Also, sick days and vacations are frowned upon, especially in retail, because these kind of places are always trying to get away with the least amount of staff that they can. It's like the lower paid, 'unskilled'(no such thing), workers work harder and for less benefits than everybody else. They know they can get away with it, because these people are living paycheck to paycheck, and can't afford to protest anyways.

A high person isn't anymore dangerous than a sleep deprived person. Should they also be able to deny workman's comp to someone for not getting enough sleep?

I agree that people shouldn't go to work high or drunk, for the most part(honestly dont really care, I would judge my hypothetical workers solely on their work performance and behavior), but these tests catch substances used in the person's freetime. An employer shouldn't get to decide that just because someone got high in the safety of their home two weeks before being hurt on the job that they aren't eligible for assistance. It's pretty messed up.

I guess if they could somehow make a drug test that could test someone's intoxication levels and tolerance at the exact time of the incident, then maybe it would be fair. Even then, they were hurt while attempting to make you money. I think it's just the right thing to do, morally, regardless of the employee's idiocy.

And yea I know, the right thinks any sort of empathetic idea is extreme.

The worker's comp drug tests are such a disgusting example of late stage capitalism.

Imagine that you made a lot of money and lived comfortably off of the hard work of others. Then when one of those others got hurt while making money for you, you go out of your way to make sure you don't have to help them cover the medical costs. Also, you take their only source of income away from them so they couldn't even cover it themselves if they wanted to.

I can't imagine being that heartless, and its literally just standard pretty much everywhere in the US. It is very saddening.

Do kids even still do TV? I figured they'd all be on YouTube or something by this point.

Sometimes good parents have terrible kids, too. Sociopaths are just born sometimes and not made.

I mean there is a chance you can do everything well and still end up with a shitstain of a human when having kids. Sociopaths and Narcissists sometimes just happen.
