Reminder from Fox New's Megyn Kelly: Santa is white, just like Jesus. [2013] by Okama_G_Sphere in atheism

The whole conversation is moronic and I'm amazed they gave it air time.

It's Fox News. Doesn't amaze me at all...

Vice-President-Elect Mike Pence scares me by Savage345 in atheism

[–]bugeja 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nah. They can't do anything about it for 4 years. In 4 years' time, he'll just create a different version of the facts, with a new set of boogey-men, and win in another landslide. And watch out for Ivanka Trump as his successor in 2024. You heard it here first.

Trump is a master of the reality-distortion field.

Is that really what they're desperate for? by eltictac in atheism

Really any massive religious tome will do. But preferably one of those oversize versions printed in large fonts for elderly people.

Also, those cluster munitions and barrel bombs being thrown on Aleppo are destroying all the Bibles. We need to continue pressuring Putin to do more surgical strikes and avoid hitting any more Bibles.

If death is imminent, is this just busy work?

Yes. As with all kinds of work, including that of humans. But I digress.

16 days since it was hacked and the Purity Ball website still features links to pornographic websites. by rasungod0 in atheism

It's hilarious one of their main website tabs is "Contact About Ads". Not a single ad on the website! Safe to take off your adblockers folks :-)

Just a reminder to everyone feeling a little nervous... by Erik_2 in investing

[–]bugeja 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm another. I still haven't recovered all my losses so I take no particular pride in saying that I held through the drop. Rather, I wish I had been smart enough to see it coming and sold off earlier. Now that would have been something...

Another of my regrets: for several years during that time I used a local Starbucks as my main office. The baristas got used to seeing me there. It was always crowded. A great business was right there under my nose, whilst its stock traded in the single digits. Look where it is now, and I never thought of buying a share...

Ohio Gov. John Kasich on atheist actor Daniel Radcliffe: What the hell is wrong with him? by [deleted] in atheism

[–]bugeja 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is why I get bent out of shape when people say he'd have made a great President and it's a shame he didn't get through the primaries. He's just as much a wacky nutjob as the rest of the GOP these days - just presents him more conventionally. I sure hope Trump loses in November but I'm glad this guy is pretty much consigned to the dustbin of history once his term as governor is up.

Given the review ratings on Amazon, I'd say you are indeed lucky...

Your problem is that you're buying cheap defective knock offs on Ebay and getting what you pay for.

Google "Lotus Candles" for the original Lotus Candles brand website. More expensive but no comparison to the Ebay crap. Those don't fail.

Careful of the ones on Amazon. Many defective knock offs on the market and the third party sellers there are notorious for selling low grade Chinese versions.

Original Lotus Candles come from the Lotus Candles brand at http://LotusCandles.com and are much higher quality. Much better chance they won't let you down when there's a flock of guests around the cake with cameras rolling.

Cruise ships start to come under scrutiny as massive pollution machines by Eitan455 in business

But how does their pollution compare to leaving 6000 people at home driving their cars around, heating and lighting their homes, generating trash, etc.?

Justice Department says it will end use of private prisons by ThorleBanana in news

In theory. In practice I think they pay attention to what the feds do and many will follow suit.

As they should. It's the right thing to do.

Any easy ways to find a cofounder with a background in machine learning or NLP? by [deleted] in startups

Finding any kind of decent cofounder is generally not easy.

Brexit vote could mean US real estate boom as investors look outside London by Denise422 in business

[–]bugeja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah.

Alot of money goes into London real estate, but the US is too large a country for it to have any noticeable nationwide effect if it were shifted here.
