Reddit,Facebook,Snapchat
That's all I have. I feel like I would hate any other social networks, only because Facebook and Reddit are so simple, yet they are intuitive in their own right.

To be honest, I would tell her that I don't want to continue the relationship. She shouldn't be having a relationship with you if she is pining for someone else.
Tell her that if ever she gets over him, to give you a call, and you will think about it - if you haven't moved on yourself, that is.

I am surprized that nobody mentions this but in islam (using sharia jurisdiction, as Iran claims to be) it is not possible to get a death sentence because of fraud, highest punishment for this would be cutting his "stealing" hand. Killing someone because he stole something / or fraud was never the case in islamic jurisprudence.
In a scale such as this, it can be considered as treason... Treason is punishable by death according to Islamic jurisprudence.

1348  Other / Off-topic / Re: Do you listen to the radio? on: May 26, 2014, 02:48:16 PM
I listen in the car. I get incredibly annoyed by the obnoxious commercials, though, and often just switch to a CD or MP3. The local "rock alternative" is especially bad. It seems like every other commercial is for laser hair removal or a strip club. I love NPR, but the local station doesn't have all the shows I like, so I don't listen much anymore.

Good to see that the EU economy is doing so very well. Makes you wonder what all that fuss was about last year.

i don't know if i quite believe in capital punishment, but it's at least nice to for once see a wealthy person live by the same rule of law as the commonfolk.


This is a very severe punishment for fraud. Normally only the worst gays and apostates would be given such a harsh punishment!

Then we have the question again if every planet has "their" Jesus, the one and only Son of God.

This is a serious discussion and I think it was Teilhard de Chardin who would say yes. He tried to combine theology and rational science and thus worked out that a "Son of God" manifestation would be a necessary evolutionary step in the development of every intelligent species.

If there is intelligent life they would view us as nothing but primitive monkeys, let alone take our advice/opinions  Cheesy
If i told you that there was a species of monkey that would one day be more inteligient and aggresive, and will try to take over the human race. what do you think you would do to that now primitive monkey? same with aliens perhaps extinguish now before we come unhandleable in the distent future.

This is the original news article which triggered this thread.

Russia will not import GMO products - PM Medvedev

http://rt.com/news/russia-import-gmo-products-621/

The Americans interpreted Medvedev's statement as a boycott against the American food industry.
If Russia is serious about going organic, then i applaud this move. I would also like to see the deeds being done - i.e. reversing the legislation to ban gmo's, first and foremost and not reporting to the  gmo register. The world stands behind this move.

The problem is: we somehow know where the coins have gone, and it doesn't look like they are being withdrawn the way described in the OP at all.
And it still doesn't explain how can Gox draining their cold wallets empty without even paying attention, if they ever use one.

some ppl say with the whole electricity bill of the whole miners you could end the world hunger.

/discus
While bitcoins bring something new towards our currency system, it is also beneficial to the protection and conservation of trees and forests. Having trees and a sustained environment can aid end world hunger. Online website such as Fast-growing-trees.com gives numerous options for the tree of your choice. Fast growing trees and plants such as Apple trees among others, could eventually serve its multiple purposes for animals and humans alike, even going as far as helping reduce global warming.

China is making the maximum use out of the opportunities.

China ready to replace EU investors in Russia if more sanctions follow

http://rt.com/news/161104-sanction-eu-russia-china/
China will eat up Russia just like a cancer the same as they are doing in Africa and some South American companies.
"the yellow race will rule the world" as all the religion books say. Russians tough and brutal, Chinese silent assassin
1358  Other / Off-topic / Re: Dealing with idiots. on: May 24, 2014, 04:32:17 PM
My definition of idiots are quite broad.  Grin

But in generally it covers people who are difficult for no apparent reason, unfriendly, and difficult to handle.

Here are my favourite way of dealing with idiots.

- If I don't have to answer to them or deal with them on a daily basis and I'm not dependent on them: Ignore the hell out of them. Don't even talk to them.
- If I work with them and its completely unbearable, either push that person away so he needs to find himself a new job, can be a lenghty process and might not work, or just quit myself.
- Just endure the presence of the idiot until I no longer have to deal with that person, be it a flight, a meeting or a project job.

- If forced to deal with an idiot, and I've either somehow managed to become 'enemies' with that person previously, or my efforts to actually have things done and to demand actions are perceived as hostile, and the other person is just being a no-go, then I try to be polite and factual in all communications, and if it just doesn't help, I put in a wrench to gain leverage, be it contacting a supervisor, an overseeing authority or anyone else that has some power over this person, also peer pressure, letting others know what this person is doing might help. That could backfire as well as it could be considered me being a rat. But if the communication consistently is bad and in bad faith, I document everything, so I can prove what's going on if I have to complain to someone. But if I can and the issue at hand is not worth fighting for, I dismiss the entire situation, and rather spend my time productively on something else. Sometimes fighting for something is not worth it, as the payout cannot justify the effort.

Usually I just like logic and saying things straightforward, but add a dash of social IQ to it, but many people have a big problem dealing with honest criticism and things that are in general not good, and if you attack such people in any way, they're usually quick to go into defense mode, and then the case is most often completely dead.

I've also noticed that being angry or attacking is seldom solving a case at all, even though many people, esp. those employed somewhere, are supposed to be professional and handle criticism in a professional manner. Nothing is more annoying than knowing you're right, and then speaking to some drone that claims something else, or just makes up things of thin air.

But in general I think it's wise not to take things personal, as it will wreck your mood pretty much, but it can be difficult at times, esp. when there are things you're trying to solve, and you're dependent on other people to have it solved, and they're just not helping to make it happen. And some of those people, if you complain about their conduct, they just start stonewalling you and nothing happens, even if its against the service statement where they're employed. The end result is that you waste a lot of time and energy trying to solve a simple issue, but it becomes overly complicated because of people - I guess you call that bureaucracy.

A good way to handle idiots on call centers is btw to just hang up and call again, repeat until you have someone on the line that actually acts like a human. Those acting in bad faith, will only unwillingly help, and in the process they will cause a lot of mayhem.

One thing that works with officials however is the law. If you can point to a certain piece of law, they're bound by that - and need to act, or else they're violating their job description, and will rightfully be reprimanded by a superior, but they will very seldom be sacked, so after a little while its business as usual again..

So... what's your favourite way of dealing with idiots?
Take a deep breath, shake your head and laugh to yourself. I have to deal with stupid people all day long and if you don't find humor in them, you will give yourself an ulcer. Either that or your head will explode. Life it too short to let them get to you.

Having played it, it's a copy of Bejeweled except that Bejeweled is a lot more fun to play and doesn't lock you out if you don't win a game in a certain number of moves. Don't know why people play it really.
1360  Other / Off-topic / Re: In what sports do men and women compete at the closest to the same level? on: May 24, 2014, 03:40:18 PM
Pretty much any sport where strength, speed or size are not the primary determination of winner.
Archery, shooting, curling, race car driving, equestrian etc.
You forgot to mention spatial awareness, which men are better at. That would include anything that involves manipulating anything in 3D space, so shooting, driving, throwing, etc.
And no. I'm not trolling. It's been proven that women are worse at spatial relationships between objects in 3D space.
I realize modern society doesn't want to admit it, but men and women are different not just physically but mentally as well. Men are better are certain things, while women are better at others. One gender is not better or worse than the other overall, but we are different. That's not a bad thing.
