  1. This is excellent word for summing up the social justice warrior movement.

    It's more virulent behavior than just SJWs, who tend to be unwitting victims to it more than anything. "Post-truth" sums up what we've become after abandoning classical education and logic.

    What a bunch of crap, and disrespectful to the large number of US volunteers actively fighting in Europe and Asia before Dec 7 1941. "Hey, you're awfully late to the fight I started but am now losing!" Followed by decades of "Those yanks always sticking their noses in everyone's business!" any time our foreign policy doesn't explicitly benefit the British.

    Wanker.

    The cure for road rage is to remove such morons' control of their vehicles and give them pacifiers/electronics to distract during their commute.

    6.5 trillion in adjustments during FY2015, which had a total federal budget of 3.9 trillion. Some critical bit of information must be missing. I guess I'll just read it as 6.5 ka-jillion, it makes as much sense.

    She'll probably have 4 years, I'll give you that. But 8 years is a stretch. Depends on whether her doctor can keep her sufficiently doped and rested while Huma runs the country in all but name. One ill-timed seizure during a State of the Union Address and her second term will never materialize.

    False. China and India just have a more readily exploited slave class. It is a mighty competitive advantage that won't soon be sorted out.

  21. Re: Good! on Millennials Set To Earn Less Than Generation X (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Your solution to income inequality is to stunt success by refusing opportunities to earn more, as if that makes anything better for anyone. So someone else will come along and profit from those opportunities, likely a person less qualified if those options genuinely would have gone to you. This means less quality/productivity in general.

    Further, how does stunting your own success do anything at all for the lower end of "income inequality"? Are you just gambling that a left-handed lesbian eskimo woman will end up making the money you are passing up instead of a hard-working, privilege-ridden honky? Or, if it's pay increases you are not pursuing, you are only enriching your employer in the name of social justice. Obviously you may be working for one of the few worthwhile non-profits or have some other unusual situation happening, but without that info yes, your OP comes off as SJW nonsense.

  22. The unwanted upgrades aren't related to the unlimited storage issue.

    The FTC probably hasn't received complaints about the unlimited storage issue.

    I think a lot of people would agree with your take on it, but I won't hold it against someone when something with reasonable intent becomes an onerous, unreasonable burden. Any rational person *knows* there is a point where "taking advantage of this generous offer" becomes "being a pain in the ass that breaks it for everyone" because they ruin the product's sustainability. It's just a debate about where the point lies.
