If Microsoft had any ethical standards they wouldn’t be American.

The best kind of death in cases like this is self inflicted.

You need to call your bank and the media. Word has to get out.

Now it’s an international matter of national security. Let’s go world, time to de-americanize your tech.

Which is really weird. The world desperately needs desalination for freshwater but we say we can’t do it because the water is too expensive due to energy costs, yet here is another case where we piss away heat. Free market fundamentalism will be the death of us all. No civilization this reckless was meant to survive.

Surely the pussy grabbing president would never grab me by the pussy, again.

You misspelled holodomor.

Just tell all the other computer related businesses they’re aren’t going to have any new customers.

Ameritech is being weaponized. Get out while you still can. Degoogle. Demicrosoft. Deapple, Deandroid etc…

And nothing of value was lost that day…

Tomorrow’s future, today!

NYT is the apologist PR arm of this enterprise. They didn’t just wake up. They are hoping the public won’t put 2 and 2 together for as long as possible.

I still can’t believe prediction markets exist. Every bet requires a counterparty and information asymetry means its not a market, its a killing field going up against rigged bets just like this.

Billie, you’re a genius

Enough to be a fool

A fool to gamble everything

And never know the rules

Some of us can only live

In songs of love and trouble

Some of us can only live in bubbles

You can’t solve scalping when its a core function of LiveNation’s ecosystem. Scalping is the business model.

I disagree and I don’t think you got it, but I updoot for good faith, some fair points, wit and humour. I’ll always drink to that. ;)

Hmmm. Upvote or downvote? You make solid points. You are defending a position in good faith. Yet “mental disorder”?

Your mentality and eagerness to stake a position and defend the bastion hurts as much as helps.

catholic sins were only defined later

You are making an artificial distinction. Catholicism can be, but shouldn’t be viewed as a thing with a start. It’s part of a continuum. Judaism>Christianity>Islam. Catholic sins weren’t defined later. Like all culture, they evolved from earlier sins. Even calling them Abrahamic Religions as we do is making the same error. The tradition didn’t just emerge, it evolved from predecessors and it has descendants.

natural law is the law of nature, that exists and has nothing to do with religious nonsense but instinct, which originated from evolution.

Aside from the above linking culture, specifically religion to evolution in a real tangible way, please consider that natural selection over time takes random mutations and selects for reproductive fitness. It doesn’t care about what is “good” it only cares about what is most advantageous until new offspring can extend the continuity. We tend to think of this in terms of physiological of biochemical traits, but that’s a narrow view too. Our minds are a product of evolution. Our thinking is a product of our minds.

“Sin” is just part of a evolutionary cultural continuum that started somewhere in the roots of cognition where “actions>consequences” evolved and branched into “sin” and “karma”.

Creatures with evolved complex cognition need their complex social constructs to evolve to survive as well. They become condensed, efficient, easily axiomized artifacts like “the golden rule”, “religion”, philosophy, ethics, morality. All part of a continuum where divergence, convergence and speciation occur.

Religious and atheists are seperate cognitive sub-species who can choose to compete, fall into a predator-prey relationship (e.g. inquisition or communist religious purge) or we can coexist in our respective niches or, like all the best stuff in nature, become symbiotic and make the system better for all.

In short, not Religion vs Evolution. Religion as evolution. 😉👉

Be grateful they are incompetent.
