I think we should agree to disagree on that one. If we dive into it we'll be opening a whole new subject and a very complicated one at that, cause yes these animals are grown by humans to be slaughtered and eaten, but they also only exist on this world because of humans. It's a weird topic whether it's better to have been born only to be killed or to have never been born at all. I do agree however that humans are capable of unimaginable atrocities which you won't see in the animal kingdom but we're also capable of the most selfless acts of love and loyalty too. The perks and drawbacks of having sentient minds.

These are normal food chain relations. We breed cattle so we have meat to serve on the table. There's nothing about respect here. Beef is a good nutritious meat nothing personal or ideological has any place in this whole deal.

When you go out in the wild and get eaten by a pack of hungry wolves it's only your fault. They didn't disrespect you, they were just hungry and ate you, no need to complicate things.

I hold some $10-$50 worth of most cheap alts that are available on poloniex. It's my ticket to becoming a millionaire. Right now the biggest asset I won is 300 000 siacoin. BTC and ETH is a good way to win +50% or even double your money, but that won't change my life, so I go for the gamble with alts.

Weak year so far. Surprisingly Alien Covenant would be my pick if I had to name the best I've seen. Tells you how bad the year is to this point...

Like Winston Churchill(whom I dislike) said "Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others" meaning that while it's flawed and shitty there aren't any better alternatives available at the moment. So we'll probably keep raping democracy in the foreseeable future and without realizing turn it into some distorted marxist-liberal version of itself, where we you're excluded from society if you're not transgendered.

Do you mean this US company from Colorado https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crocs

they seem to be making shoes, flipflops and the like.

I think he just says that cause he felt like it. No specific reason or event that made him come to this thought. He does that sometimes. I kinda agree since I find all these spy games pretty dirty especially between countries that are not direct competitors for anything. What he says does sound a bit too extreme for my taste though.

When I worked an office job I used to hate Mondays, just like everyone else. It's normal to not enjoy going back to your workplace after the weekend, especially if you're working for someone else and you don't care much for your work.

Nowadays I work nights, so Mondays are no longer a problem for me, cause all nights are roughly the same. Well not exactly, Friday and Saturday nights can get weird since people go to clubs, get drunk and I sometimes have "guests" at the parking lot

I think that tinfoil hat theory is pretty far fetched. If anything governments usually try to cover up acts of terrorism as unfortunate accidents, not the other way around. Why would they cover up the mistake of some pyrotechnics company if that was the cause?

Yes, but you won't see other religions blowing themselves up around the world on a daily basis. Christianity is one of the most berated religions and you can clearly see it even here on the forums, and for some reason atheist fanatics usually go after Christianity, not after Islam, yet there's little to none Christian fundamentalism.

I'll be hard pressed to remember the times Christianity has been used as a motivation to bring down two skyscrapers and kill thousands of people at least in the last 20 years. Christians get offended too when people speak crap about Jesus, but they don't go on murderous rampages.

Means Hold On for Dear Life, or if you want to see it this way a distorted way of saying HOLD. I'm sure you would have guessed by the way people use it, but it refers to a person holding onto his coins no matter what, believing they'll bring him profit eventually.

Do you really think that humans will always look like they do today? Evolution takes a long time, millions of years. It would be ill advised to have it as a center of any ideology, since it's something bigger than us and almost completely out of our conscious control.

Yes, Hitler made efforts to selectively breed a new German race of blue eyed, blonde haired supermen two meters tall each. However I think this was actually going against evolution as he was interfering with it's natural flow. There's a reason why normally people like this are rare to find for example they'll  have a hard time thriving in miserable conditions like in the far north.

Maybe a botmine of cheap computers with some script for simple actions in the game will do the trick. Although it may cost cheaper to simply hire several thousand Chinese to actually play the game, like they used to do with the WoW gold and silver farms.

Hello! I've had such transactions in the past which take many days and have been worried just like you. If you're scared you won't receive your coins don't be, the transactions will either pull through eventually or return to the sender and you can request them again. I avoid using BTC when possible for reasons like this.

They're going greater and greater lengths to separate their national identity from Russia. Sooner or later they risk alienating their own people from their cause with such measures. Blocking access to social medias is not something a country which wants to join the family of western democracies should be doing. It sounds more like something Redzep Tayyip Erdogan would do.

Here's an article in English http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-39934666

There are already some ways of producing artificial fossil fuels. There was this very promising method that involved special enzymes, which were found in the amazonian jungles and were responsible for decomposing the huge amounts of leaf mass that fall down from the trees. These enzymes could in theory be used to create artificial fossil fuel by sped up rotting of bio masses and such, and it was later even proven practically that this works. They were looking into ways of incorporating it into the industry, but I guess there's not much demand yet.

Still every such project progresses with baby steps, and the big governments at their best aren't too helpful.

It's easy to see that the SONM team is open and mindful to the concerns and advises of the potential investors. This project will go a long way if they keep this up! Good luck, and I'm waiting for ICO.

Musk was the golden boy of the Obama administration. Their role model for the world on how we should all go green or feel ashamed if we don't own an ultra expensive Tesla car. All of this while behind the curtains nothing was being done to combat the growing global warming or the inevitable energy crisis, that awaits us after the petrol runs out.

So all in all this is quite typical. They give people a "discount" on their taxes, Musk does plenty of business, and the only loser is the budget. Meaning all of us.

Watched Primer two times. Still uncertain what exactly happened. There are about a billion timelines all affecting each other and I'm not sure whether the movie is badly made, or it's my fault I don't get it completely.

Just another suggestion if you're in such an adventurous mood. I think they are still doing those tours of Pripyat city and the Lenin NPP in Chernobyl. I don't think it will be too expensive either
