Re: Spazturtle

He's (allegedly) stolen proprietery data owned by Google to sell to a competitor for profit.

No one in the right mind would risk hiring someone who sees nothing wrong with stealing. Trust is an actual thing

Re: Spazturtle

False comparison. This isn't like a restaurant banning former staff from ever cooking again. More like McDonalds stopping ex employees from calling their food Mcburgers of some kind (Which i'm sure even you'll agree is fair).

Re: Dabbb

From one side there's not many reasons to trust government, on the other side it does not try take over all aspects of life, censor everything it does not like and sell your information to the anyone ready to pay

You don't think the Government tries to take over all aspects of life and censor things they don't like? Have you just been awoken from your cryogenic sleep?

Re: I'm shocked...

Sarkeesian has been discredited more times than i care to remember. She is a professional victim and makes money promoting her hateful ideology. "Everything is racist, everything is sexist, everything is homophobic". This kind of mentality does nothing but promote hatred and divide society based on whoever has the most victim points being the winner.

RE: Domquark

Labour have announced they would accept any deal and wouldn't walk away from talks, that they want more than Theresa May is asking, and have frustrated the entire process over the last few years. To spell it out for anyone who can't see through that - Labour would accept a deal worse than Theresa May, or would crash out with No deal, since the EU won't give them their negotiating goals.

Re: Regarding Hamilton...

"Donald Trump is not an actor, he is a reality person, the difference being he can't act, as his appearances in films reveal"

Terrible example. His film appearances have all been as Donald Trump. Therefore since he is Donald Trump he has nailed all his film/television roles. Technically he may be the best actor in the world by that logic.

If i suddenly need to know the time in the kitchen there's a clock on the kitchen wall, a watch on my arm, a clock in the microwave...I don't need that many clocks in one room.

"We learn that "consumers may have had to open up six or seven apps to get the help they need cooking, including nutrition information, recipes, shopping lists, how-to videos, and remote control apps for various devices"

And i thought two apps was a little excessive (a timer and Youtube).

I'm confident saying that no one uses more than 4 apps while cooking and that marketer is lying...

Re: Galileo blocking BeiDou

"Can you highlight the constitutional provisions that would allow the UK government to order the 'independent' governments of these overseas territories to do something like sabotage Galileo"

Wouldn't be necessary since we still cover defence spending of a lot of these overseas territories. They could be convinced to pull the plug quite easily. Then there's always financial incentives...

We had no choice. In exchange for American help during WW2 we had to sign over large swathes of advanced technology for free. They profited heavily from the war while we were left in debt for decades.

"The "International Definition of Antisemitism" makes speaking out against the state of Israel an anti-semitic act"

Erm...No it doesn't. Try reading it. Here's the exact wording since you'll argue i'm lying if i don't provide it for you: "10: Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis."

Criticism is fine. Calling them Nazis or comparing them to Nazis - you know, the group that tried to exterminate them, is surprisingly very offensive to them. I know! Shocker!
