Attacking the movie studios and the record labels is barking up the wrong tree. That’s just playing into their hands. The real target is the politicians. Once they get that message that interfering with the Internet will get them fired, the battle is won. by electronics-engineerin technology

Follow the money.

More importantly, we need to severely limit the ability of lobbyists in Washington to buy politicians, and reverse Citizens United while we're at it.

I think the reason it's so laughable is because the wishes of the people go in so many disparate directions. It's hard to imagine a single party that could accomodate a large group of people. In fact I'd say the party system in the US is pretty much counting on this chaos.

Good point, but you probably lost votes because you used "your" instead of "you're".

I use these in an audio shop for stranded wire all the time, no problems. Just don't cut completely down to the wire.

If they do it anyway, make sure they let you work with headphones. Big, comfortable ones.

They're downvoting it because it is likely a troll.

This would work well in a standup routine, but if I ever hear it I'm now going to assume it's stolen.

When comedian Kathleen Madigan did a show for troops in Afghanistan, she was given an "intense military briefing" from the officer in charge. by STUN_Runnerin progressive

[–]realgenius 3 points4 points ago

I prefer to think she actually said it, but was treated by the officer as a dumb entertainer, instead of a person with insight.

Turn your newspaper pages by sipping coffee... by rssfrrstin videos

[–]realgenius 38 points39 points ago

You're right. There has to be an absurdly impractical and irreproducible aspect to the process for it to be a true Goldberg device. All due respect to OK Go, the so-called "amazing" devices are considerably less badass when they have to be filmed 40 times to get them right. Breaking nice objects and using live animals in a low-budget setting is more authentic, and much more amusing, IMHO.

Although "killing the meme" seems to be a meme itself, I hope this is the beginning of the end.
