In souther Africa there are very large areas where you can literally walk around for a few minutes and find 10 or 15 diamonds that are larger than what is in most jewelry. These areas are where the term blood diamonds come from. De Beers hires local authorities to murder anyone who tries to take advantage of the abundant diamonds in these areas because if they did not do so the price of a diamond would drop to almost nothing from the massive supply. De Beers also pays Russia massive amounts of money to keep their diamonds out of circulation to keep the price from dropping to almost worthless.
Personally, if someone accuses me of a microaggression I will not be satisfied until they have received at minimum a full five aggressions from me. If they are a vegan or feminist, which is almost a certainty, they may receive a decaaggresion instead.
I'm pretty sure that Windows 10 uses bitTorrent for their updates. If it isn't actually bitTorrent then it is likely indistinguishable from it. So I think it may have recently gone a bit more mainstream and legitimate than the fucktards at RIAA think it has.
It's still poor people food. The rich still don't eat it, but we were tricked by a massive PR campaign into paying a lot of money for it. Mostly by making us believe it wasn't poor people food, but rich people food. It happened a lot like the De Beers diamond monopoly. A filthy rich family found a rock that was pretty, but very common and nearly worthless. They bought all of them they could find, all the places they could be easily found, and all the places they could be found that weren't easy. They then payed royalty and popular actors to wear jewelry with these nearly worthless stones on them and started a massive advertisement campaign to convince people that they were rare and worth a very large amount of money. It worked, and now diamonds are still a very common stone, but they are hoarded by De Beers and Russia, and they bring an extreme amount of money.
First off, cows would go extinct since they rely on humans to keep them alive hopefully taking Texas along with them(just joking Texas). Chickens would become wild and live on just fine without our husbandry, and so would pigs, but they would soon start to revert to be more like wild boars. The chickens and pigs would soon become an ecological problem causing the extinction, or near extinction of several other species.
Interesting. I was about a decade behind you in school and didn't see anything like that happening, nor hear about it from others. I have no doubt that your story is true, but attitudes change faster than people think. It certainly was an issue in the 80's, but that has changed and not in the last few years. It changed early in the 90's, shortly after more women had to enter the workforce due to the lowering of real wages. I do not doubt that there are still small pockets where this still exists, that happens with every social change, but they are very few, and the media pretends that those few are the norm to whip people into frenzy for profit. It is also being used for control. If you make all the men feel guilty about being men then they are easier to control, see Catholicism if you want another example of this tactic.
You imply here that women don't work hard to get those safe, high-paying, jobs and that they're forcing men in to dangerous low-paying jobs. This tells me a couple things: First, you don't think women are as capable or hard-working as men. Second, you're afraid that you can't compete in a job market that doesn't marginalize women.
No, I do not imply such. I imply that is what the SJW's, such as feminists, want.
I do not think that women are less capable or hard working in the tech industry, they are just far less inclined to want to enter it.
I have no issue at all with competing with anyone as long as the playing field is kept even. Incentives for hiring a woman or a minority (lets not confuse women with minorities like you dumb fucks always do) do not allow for an even playing field.
The facts are that women face artificial barriers not faced by men, meaning they need to work harder than men to reach those safe, high-paying, positions. Attitudes like yours, such as believing women to be less capable, contribute to those barriers. The glass-ceiling is so named because it's an invisible barrier, imposed by regressive attitudes, not written rules, that keep women from reaching the same heights.
No, they don't face artificial barriers not faced by men. They once did, but they haven't for well over a decade, especially in the tech sector. In fact, a woman applying for a tech job is far more likely to to be hired than a equally qualified man, and will have a higher salary than the man would have.
If there is any remnant of a "glass ceiling" it is due to differing priorities and behavior between men and women. Men and women play politics very differently and that could be an advantage or disadvantage to them based on who is their boss.
Let's try an example: We have two candidates for promotion, Alice and Bob. Alice is the obvious choice, having both seniority and better numbers than Bob. Bob's no slouch, being a hard-worker with decent numbers. Alice and Bob both have families. People wonder why Alice even wants the promotion as she has kids at home. At the same time, they hope Bob gets the promotion as he's a good family man who could use the pay raise. These regressive attitudes regarding traditional gender roles give Bob an edge over Alice -- even without the blatant misogynistic attitudes you express.
I see you have to imagine your misogyny. I can't say that I'm surprised.
You're right, it isn't that complicated. You are just incapable of seeing through the veil that has been pulled over your eyes, and our extremely powerful instinct to always protect women and children isn't helping you much with that. In order to see reality you have to be able to step back and question your beliefs, even your instincts.
Yes, it is truly sad that these corporations are too ignorant to know that Linux works just fine with Active Directory, Exchange is a terrible bastardization of an email client, and Sharepoint is one of the worst versioning systems ever conceived. I will give them a little on Excell, but the rest of Microsoft Office is garbage.
I'll accept that they are genuine when they start advocating for gender equality in other male dominated industries like deep sea fishing and garbage collection. Until then it is an obvious grab for power at the expense of others. In other words "give me your safe, high paying job that you worked hard to get and you go work the dangerous, low paying job that I don't want, because glass ceiling!"
If you are interested in it enough then you are going to pursue it. You have made me curious though. Who and what discouraged you? How did you overcome your discouragement?
If you had said thousand instead of million I might have believed you, but thinking the government values a human life at greater than a few thousand dollars is nothing more than wishful thinking from the ignorant.
I eventually found a way around this. I just started not giving a fuck what others thought about me. It may or may not work for others, but I found that the less I cared about the opinions of others the happier I am, and the more real friends I had.
I'm running it in a virtual machine with only 4GB of ram right now, and it is responding very fast. Faster than firefox is outside of the VM.
I actually just dropped it down to 2GB and it is still running beautifully. I admit it is running on Linux, but still 2GB isn't much these days.
Just an FYI, it supports all chrome extensions. Until this release it had a few bugs in that, but I'm currently testing it and everything works without issue so far. I really hope that it turns out to be completely compatible, and so far it looks like it is. Also, I'm surprised with how fast it runs.

Throw in some corned beef and you are set!

It's spelled Micro$oft!
Doesn't anyone here know how to spell?

Yes it is manufactured. It is a product of the CIA and Israeli intelligence agencies.

At the router level. Windows does not listen to its firewall when it comes to their spying.
Or which person helps maintain the diversity tax breaks.

You mean the CIA and Assad?
No, sadly they are the majority.
If you had said thousand instead of million I might have believed you, but thinking the government values a human life at greater than a few thousand dollars is nothing more than wishful thinking from the ignorant.
It most likely did. Well, at least before life on this planet. Not necessarily before life in general.

That is in the options.

Then I suppose the irony that it was made by a group of defectors from Opera browser missed you.
