No, because that's not what irony means.

Fiat has no transparency,  unless you're an unconstitutional rogue government spying agency full of treasonous sons of whores.

Something as yet unimagined.

Outright slavery, human sacrifice, or other barbaric practices are unfathomable to civilized people today. The past is usually bizarre from present perspective, as is the future.  The future will change us even as we cling desperately to the ways of the past. This is inevitable.

The ways of modern people will seem downright barbaric to our ultra-empathic great grandchildren.

No private company has the right to monopolize an industry the way Time Warner, Verizon,  and Comcast have done in the USA. And nothing as important as the internet should be left in the hands of corporations.

Ignoramus.

Holy shit balls that tank selfie is beyond the pale. You just know that man would piss himself with fear if he ever found himself on a real battlefield.

I believe in scientific method. I believe in climatology. I believe in evidence. What do you believe in? Fox fucking news? Sweet mercy of Satan, save me from these people.

To clarify,  I was referring to the handful of scientists who sold their integrity to the fossil fuel industry. Not rando internet dipshits. No one cares what we think.

Note for readers: Arguing with the willfully ignorant is a fruitless exercise. If they wanted to know the truth they need only Google. The evidence paints a very clear picture, human beings are undeniably warming this planet. But these fuckwits are not interested in the truth, just anti-intellectual conspiracies that demonize the scientific community as profit-seekers while worshipping the fossil fuel industry.

The rest of the world is content with the overwhelming consensus of climatologists.

Aww, the internet hurt the little conservatard's feelings so he had to ignore me. What a precious delicate little flower that corporate bootlicker is. The reason I'm a dick to people like that is because there's just no excuse for willful ignorance for anyone with Internet access. We have at our fingertips the greatest compendium of knowledge ever assembled. A thousand thousand library of Alexandrias, and we don't have to sift through the database manually like in the days of yore.

There is no excuse. It's shameful to be ignorant about any topic you're interested in. It's doubly shameful to engage in debate about a topic without first taking five damn minutes to learn the truth of the matter.

Zero tolerance for willful ignorance. Shame the fuckers.

Only halfwit redneck muricans think libertarian means right-wing corporate bootlicker. For the rest of the world, the word refers to folks on the left of the political spectrum. You sad, clueless clown.

It'd be the ISP's you'd have to bribe, not "big gubmint". And the effect would be immediately noticeable,  so you'd end up getting yourself and your ISP in big trouble. Why don't you retreat to your mountain bunker and spare the internet your ignorance. No one likes listening to idiots parroting fox news neo-fascist corporate talking points.

Bandwidth is a zero sum game. You can't give extra to one party without reducing the speed of (an) other party/ies. No government or private organization will have the power to do that for you now. That's the whole point of net neutrality. Fucks sake, you conservatives are thicker than molasses When it comes to the dreaded government bogeyman.

Only change is forever. Everything else blinks into and out of existence in a fraction of a cosmic second. All of human history is a mere heartbeat to the universe. Our rise to dominance on this planet and eventual extinction will go unnoticed as the briefest,  tiniest flicker of light in the vast cosmic darkness.

To say nothing of an already dying, unscientific primate hhierarchy justification system that has only existed for a few hundred years.

In my opinion as an usually smart primate, capitalism has ~20-30 years left.

Step 0: Stop calling women chicks. It's sexist.

Bitcoin doesn't need Paypal.

Paypal needs to adapt and pivot into the bitcoin space of they want to have any hope of being in business ten years from now.

I loathe the phrase "climate change". It's a weak euphemism for climate catastrophe that utterly fails to capture the desperate urgency of changing our toxic, abusive relationship with this planet. If only we could glance the suffering our selfishness will reap upon our grandchildren.

Climate destruction deniers are and aways have been the paid shills of the fossil fuel industry,  and the scientific community is right to shun, mock, and discredit them.

That's correct. Net neutrality is a great thing,  this was a huge victory for the free flow of information,  and a major loss for the greedy Internet Service Parasites that sought to profit from throttling some information while favoring those who bribe tbem.

Wrong. There were no secular authorities back then. Kings ruled by divine right. The comparison to corporations is valid, church-government collusion for profit was the precursor to modern corp-government for profit collusion.

Stopped reading at the word alien. Superstition is the end of reason. Show me some credible evidence or  shut the fuck up.

Way to demonstrate a total lack of understanding of context here. This shit doesn't happen in a vacuum. Ferguson is a poverty stricken mostly black town with an almost all white police force during the worst economy since the great depression. Ferguson is about the effects of concentrated poverty,  and yes there is a race element at play there.

All that said, I'm upset because an over-armed, under-trained, under-disciplined CIVIL SERVANT killed an unarmed HUMAN BEING.

You should be too.

There's almost no limit to what you can accomplish when you're willing and able to throw unthinkable quantities of human suffering at a problem. That's how they built the pyramids when the engineering technology of ancient Egypt would have otherwise made such a feat impossible.

Never said it was illegal, just that civilians dint have these tools. And you'll have a 30 million dollar paper weight with no armaments and very likely no knowledge or training to operate it. There's a word for this: irrelevant.
