I don't have a daughter and my wife is perfectly capable of defending herself. The idea that Trump is bad because we have wives and daughters is insulting to women who aren't related to you. Sexual assault is wrong whether it's against a wife, a daughter, a teacher, a UPS driver, a homeless women, or even an illegal prostitute.
Before anyone brings up Hillary (also a known defender of sexual assault), I'm a freaking Libertarian. Good luck finding something Gary Johnson has said that degrades women.
Meh, I'm only still here because IT hasn't blocked this site yet... Hell they blocked Dilbert.com so I can't even screw around on Scott Adams' blog anymore even though since commenting has been "temporarily" disabled it has been pretty useless anyhow.
I do actually agree with Gary. I also was pretty young back in '92, but I do seem to recall that Bill got elected and worked across the aisle and actually managed to balance a budget, which probably wouldn't have even been discussed in DC had it not been for Perot...
Not only that but the measly 1% he got in 2012 was the best ever voting turnout for the Libertarian Party. Kudos to the Party for not bowing to the crazy pants removers in the party and putting up someone who is extreme and nuts out there and sticking with Gary, who while imperfect, has a good track record on freedom and actual political experience to back it up.
Mod up. If you believe Gary Johnson has no shot, even better to vote for him knowing you won't have to live with him as president. But it will sure send a message to the Republican and Democratic leadership that their shit has gotten to stinky for you to continue to support. Send a message to the major parties that they don't own your vote by default.
Stuff on Trump doesn't need to be sent to Wikileaks. Any news outlet at all will publish anything they receive about Trump. Except for Fox News, which no one will believe, no media will actually release any dirt on any Democratic candidate or organization.
You mean can't name a single (living) leader of another country (that they admire)... For a libertarian living in a world with no libertarian foreign countries, that sounds pretty reasonable to me.
The Libertarian Party is literally running two successful two term governors. Admit it, "electable" means from the two major parties and no qualifications or policies will make you change your mind.
(who wants the over/under on someone replying Somalia?)
Exactly. Where is the option for "I believe in science in regards to knowing the theory behind why the earth is getting warmer but I deny that it is necessarily going to be a catastrophe and that it is the biggest threat facing humanity that needs trillions of dollars spent to reduce carbon emissions for an unknown future potential benefit."?
The depth is also not there. Catching rats and pidgeons (that have a stupidly high flee rate) gets really old and is 80% of the way you level up (lucky egg and cheap evolutions). Gym battles are stupidly biased toward the attacker and the battle system is repetitive and requires no skill or strategy. It also can only occur in limited locations.
I play the game, but I don't really have much incentive to really go out and play much other than to fill the Pokedex with mostly useless creatures. There are really only a dozen or so Pokemon you ever see in gyms.
They are already doing an effective DDOS attack on everyone's phones. I'd guess over 2/3 of people don't even answer the phone unless the number is already in their contact list. They just let it go to voicemail.
Seriously, it's the first thing I noticed after the update. How much time does Google waste with UI people going back and forth between straight lines and curves? I mean, their UI people are just stealing the cues from Microsoft who wasted time taking Windows 7's curves and making Windows 8 and 10 have straight lines again...
I disagree. Biological and chemical warfare is much more efficient at killing with the added bonus of not destroying infrastructure. Biological warfare probably has the highest likelihood of wiping all of humanity out due to a screw up since it is potentially self-replicating and infectious. Basically, we're more prone to go Resident Evil than Fallout.
Yes, but "10% better" English translated into math terms could mean add 0.1 OR multiply by 1.1. A mathematician would interpret it in the latter way, a common person may assume the former.
No, English is imprecise. If the G80 is 80% good and the G90 is 90% good, than the G90 is 10% better than G80 even though G90 isn't 10% better than G80 is.
Communism can only succeed in a world where everyone is selfless and will work for the benefits of others. When people act in their own self interest for their own profit, capitalism is far more efficient and a better system to minimize poverty and suffering.

I would point out that only in select states are write in votes counted. Check your local laws.

Or the OnePlus 4 when it debuts because it will likely have better specs and a lower price than the new Pixel.
Newspaper? You mean the window cleaning paper that gets left at my door at hotels?
Indeed. It's a sad state of the world when Russia is the only country willing to shelter people who expose the lawlessness of the US government.

The consequence certainly is peoples' lives. How many lives are lost due to not being able to afford lifesaving medications and healthcare?

The editors are far less than 21 perfect...

Apparently Google's UI philosophy is "do whatever stupid crap Microsoft is doing."

Slashdot apparently needs a "Holy Fuck, This Shit's Scary and True" mod.

So now I will have to get T-Mobile One Plus on my OnePlus One on T-Mobile? (just kidding, I have Ting who uses T-Mobile's network)
