    Fatties for the fashion industry, sure, they want a living mannequin. For straight males' tastes, they would be considered a bit on the chubby side today but not "fatties." It's not a radically different body shape, it's understandable that males' tastes could change that much to suit the environment (a little extra weight was good for surviving famines, these days it's anything but a survival aid).

    If these devastating market crashes and massive wealth disparities are what capitalism does when it's working, then can we try turning it off?

    Wow, I've seen a few people with those "3rd position" signatures but never clicked on it. I would have guessed they were something libertarian-ish because they tend to like the "3rd position" label.

    But all you have to do is click on their "mission statement" page to see what they're about:

    The American Third Position is a patriotic, democratic alternative to the two parties that have wrecked our great nation. The U.S. political system has been shaped by the corrupt, entrenched, nearly identical Democrat and Republican machines. They are united in their ruthless suppression of all “third” parties.

    Parts of our beautiful country now resemble Third World communities in Latin America, Africa and Asia. White people are already a minority in many cities and counties, along with several states, both large and small. Without constructive political action, within a few decades we will become a minority across the entire country. Enough is enough!

    The American Third Position Party believes that government policy in the United States discriminates against white Americans, the majority population, and that white Americans need their own political party to fight this discrimination. Our government no longer represents us.

    The American Third Position Party believes that we should put America first!

    You don't even have to smudge the surface, the coat of "independent" paint is so thin that you can still see the swastikas underneath, and it only gets worse from there. I'll be sure to tell these bigots to fuck off if they continue to post with links to a hate site in their sigs.

  10. Re:Ho ho ho, that's rich. on Kaspersky Says Lack of Digital Voting Will Be Democracy's Downfall · · Score: 1

    I find it hilarious that his argument is that young people can't be assed to vote if they can't do it on their phones. Sounds like something ridiculous some very old person would say based on their impression of the youth they got from the late night news. Even if he were correct, it would mean that democracy's death is inevitable, if people can't go through as much trouble to vote as they would to get a beer from a busy convenience store.

    Also, even if there was a very good and secure digital voting system to replace today's paper voting, it would do precisely dick for democracy around the world. The systems controlled by those votes are what needs to change.
