How so? Obama came into office on "hope" & "change", and he just helped consolidate the police state Bush kicked off even more. Oh, and he went from torture to "kill lists", and he payed banks for being too greedy for their own good. He didn't change a fucking thing, he just lubed it up for you, all nice and sophisticated and bullshit-y.
No, all he (well, his handlers) did was pulling one on you, and you just sit there and celebrate it with empty phrases like "he facilitated thinking". For fucks sake? What does that even mean? Your BRAIN would facilitate thinking, IF you had one.
I'm pretty sure they simply implemented the same policies that are chugging along all the time, anyway, and this time with the diction of Tuvok instead of dumb smirks.
Is it like regular warfare, where two sides armed with arsenals of deadly weapons open fire on each other and hope for total destruction?
Not even regular is like that. Regular was is two or several sides having people who are armed and those who get to pay and suffer.
Let's say for example, China and America had an all out war: in that case the common American citizen and the common Chinese citizen have a LOT more in common than the common American or Chinese citizen have in common with their leaders.
The whole thing of equating the policy of war profiteers with the people in a country is fascist bullshit. It's usually, and certainly often when America is involved, not "country A fighting country B", it's "group X (elites in countries A and B) fighting group Y (the people in countries A and B)".
That guy just got naturally selected over the people he shot. In other words, the old fashioned way is extremely cruel and dumb, and not really what you want.
IMHO what we need instead are actively good things, like love and whatnot. I don't care if it sounds cheesy, "love" is a shorthand for a lot of things. You could also call it self-respect and sanity, whatever.
One thing is sure, punishment alone won't work. It just creates people and industries who have a roof over their head because criminals exist, and ultimately a stake in their continued existence. As much as I kinda wish this guy gets the chair, or just "accidentally" rolled over on the way to the prison, we seriously need to look further and deeper than just playing whack-a-mole with symptoms...:/
I kind of stopped wanting Microsoft to die. We need something new that DOESN'T suck (not just one, make that 2-3). Death of MS would accomplish nothing but more consolidation for the other poopyheads.
All fans are kind of fucked in the head. Or let me be more fair: we all fucking suck whenever we are infected with and acting as an agent of fandom. There's appreciating something, even deeply so; and then there's "identifying with an idea" and other such crap. It's a sickness.
I guess the banal truth is that people not only pay a heavy markup on the hardware, but also on the design (design costs + markup = price) of the fucking handbags or whatever that crap comes in. So they have to keep them, since selling stuff on Ebay in the original package is worth more, if ever so slightly, than selling the exact same functional items in a cardboard box.
Since that is so terribly sad and lame, it gets plastered over with euphemisms like "out-of-box experience". It kinda, uhm, figures. (get it? haha)
uhm sorry, should have previewed.. "It's the failure to appreciate the work that goes into making something simple that is shallow." was supposed to be a quote, too.
Life is the ultimate aim of moral design, which it must protect, advance, ennoble and enrich. Immoral design, which is also bad design, is the opposite. It takes life by stealing time; it impoverishes by pretending to be more than it is; it does not last; it deceives, harms, enrages and degrades. The difference between the two lies at the origin of the work, when the designer first establishes their true goals and decides whether it is to satisfy their destructively selfish aims, or it is to be something higher, something that respects and elevates peopleâ(TM)s lives, something that they are not ashamed to put out into this world because they know that their heart lies in the right place; and if they fail to achieve what they set out to do, it will be but an error of affection, not ill work laden with guilt.
By that standard, Apple suddenly doesn't look sexy at all. Nor do other corps.
out-of-box experience
not shallow but deep
` Bullshit. That's as shallow as you can get.
It's the failure to appreciate the work that goes into making something simple that is shallow.
Something can be a lot of work and still be shallow, nobody is claiming the don't waste a lot of time and money and resources on their packaging, so that's both a strawman and a false dichotomy.
There's your gun. Yes, there wasn't acually a gun there, but consider what would happen if you were faced with a 6 foot tall drunk guy who, with a gun pointed at his head, started giggling and reached for "something". The fact that he wasn't shot dead right there on the spot is amazing. I would not have been so generous.
Oh get off it and over yourself. You said there was a gun that wasn't visible on the security camera, now you're going to just bait and switch? Fuck that.
Feel free to share whatever it is you got, or to retract.
Retract what? Pointing out the fact you made shit up, which you did, and then just repeated?
You really think some "I know you're wrong, but what am I?" bullshit is going to do it?
what has making up that he was an armed robber has to do with "not playing the race card"?
And why do you think I care what some random, anonymous fuck has sympathy for? Prove you're not a sociopathic shit first, please. Like, do a little dance or something, anything.
It still wouldn't have happened if he had been moderately wealthy, I'd bet my life on that right here.
And cops get much more rarely shot for fun than they shoot for fun, heh.
The police never know if they're dealing with one of those looney toons or a law abiding citizen.
It doesn't fucking matter. Yes, disabling someone who resists isn't pretty and they're kind of asking for pain. But there's a difference between that and a "lengthy beating".
Plenty of cops ARE looney toons. And they don't know that either -- who's going to deal with them? The people who pay them mostly make excuses for them it seems.
How does seeming like a racist make you a racist? I'm pretty sure it just makes you seem like a racist.
But you're right, make that "asshole". Why? A bunch of white cops brutalize a black dude, poster says "he had a gun on him" -- implying it was neither police brutality nor racism.
How would someone get this wrong via a honest mistake? Where would one get the idea from that Rodney King had a gun? They kinda have to be either into authority or against blacks, and cut their thought and evidence collection process short to accomodate that, hence "asshole".
When groups with power attack individuals without, you simply don't get to excuse the perps by being sloppy and repeating hearsay some asshole told you. In this case, it's so easy to find out I really have to wonder, and ask again, HOW could one get this wrong? I honestly wonder.
Feel free to share whatever it is you got, or to retract. In the latter case you might also want to kick whoever told you that in the nuts, for making you seem like a racist to complete strangers:P

It's a pity though! You know, some of the shittiest, as well as some of the greatest people I "know" are Americans. Americans didn't cause the problem, they're being deceived and used a great deal. I love to bash the country, but even though I'll never set foot there until a lot of things changes, I'm also grateful towards it, that is, towards a lot of people in it. I'm just thinking when America goes tits up, and I mean compared to even today, it will get a whole lot darker everywhere else, too. This isn't local, and there is no place to be safe from it. The only way out is through.
My source says that English quotes are okay in informal situations like email.
Of course they are ^^ I'm German, and this is the first time I heard of all this haha. I'm pretty sure you'd could find them in books, too, if you looked long enough.. and surely in advertising, because they do whatever they want anyway.
this shows that the editor found it okay to use English quotation marks in the absence of proper keyboard input support.
I know, everybody does that. Typing alt codes that break everything just isn't feasible.. but still, technically, it seems to be, let's say, "imperfect":P

Seriously, pay some fucking attention already.
I don't see how one or two dead TSA types would be able to stop, much less kill, a gunman?
Visitors go through the checkpoint. The gunman doesn't, if he can avoid it, that's kind of the point of running amok.

No, it's just that you don't understand it.
