Also sad to see that headline. I have read "The Left Hand of Darkness", long ago, and it still is one of my favorite novels. I read a couple of the Earthsea books, but not in order, just as I found them. Great story, and I will have to make it a point to read more of it.
Not the Saturn 4-door I had for a couple years. Hit the accelerator, slowly increase speed. I would need a good head start to keep a gorilla from catching it and pulverizing its delicate body.
On that note, Cali actually passed a law to tax retirement income of people who moved out of state to retire. Since they earned their money in California, certainly it makes sense that their nest egg (IRA or 401k) should be taxed by California.
Or, maybe it's the 10 years of advancing robotics and automation technology that has lowered the pricepoint to one that is acceptable. A decade is a long stretch for tech, and the price per performance is steadily dropping.
what the living fuck is wrong with you people? i LOVE the idea of people living outside of big cities. more small communities would be GREAT. im a democrat. we dont need the tax revenue from living in the city, we need happy, productive citizens living where they want to. stop name calling, you motherfucker. stop it!
I was referring to whether leftists want to allow people to leave the city and live elsewhere. Rural or suburbs don't matter, as long as it is outside the city. But most people would move to a suburb simply because that's where the large number of new and/or available housing is.
There are definitely democrats/leftists that hate the idea that people can move out of the big cities, taking their tax revenue with them. I've talked with them. They don't consider it "fair" that people can move to suburbs and not support the inner city schools anymore.
Regarding line breaks, if I quote you, the preview shows separate lines. I'll see if it stays that way after posting.
"Some companies take advantage of female employees. Have for *decades*. That includes both male and female bosses"
Some do, the vast majority don't. Is that the standard for "institutionalised wage gap" ?
I'm in favour of merit-based hiring, so i simply do not agree with the trend for "diversity and inclusion" as the current bandwagon exists.
Apple fired a 20 year veteran, who was their "diversity chief" for only 6 months, because she would NOT discriminate against white males.
“There can be 12 white, blue-eyed, blonde men in a room and they’re going to be diverse too because they’re going to bring a different life experience and life perspective to the conversation.”
If you segregate people by race, colour, creed, sexuality, disability" and whatever other lines you want to draw, you get nowhere.
You can't campaign for "equality" while simultaneously separating people into increasingly diverse boxes that prove they're "different" and somehow need handicap bonuses like affirmative action.
It's as ridiculous as feminists one moment campaigning for "equality" by claiming they're equally competent as a man and literally "don't need a man", while simultaneously campaigning for lower standards to entry for everything from military, police, firefighter, etc.
If you're equally capable, then you have the obligation to be equally tested. No handicap bonuses.
Nobody is campaigning for "equality" and "equal representation" in the 100 meters Olympics: where the white people at ?
So which is it, are women, blacks, hispanics, etc equal, or need help because they're inferior ?
P.S. WTF, why aren't there any line breaks in my posts ??

It would be more accurate. And amusing.
between first-world and third-world countries,
Russia is not a first-world country. It is, by definition, second-world.
We're not spending billions of dollars keeping young mathmeticians in LEO.
So her idea of 'men talking' was Joey and Chandler on "Friends". Highly amusing, and very sad.

I thought that was NBC.
You just needed "Throws shade" and you'd have the high school trifecta*.
*High schoolers can't count now, either.
No. You're counting from the wrong end.
I'd forgotten about that one. :^)
I should have linked to the earlier story on /. to make it clearer.
What if a gorilla walks across the road in front of you?

Hey! How did you know I picked up milk on the way home last night?
Only the ones made form asbestos.
Aww crap.

Thankfully the courts shut that down.
And tax their citizens 80% of their income to pay for it.

My wife is really confused right now. "What it that?" "I have no idea."

No, he just reposts from Vox. That stuff is what they actually believe.
You think "snowflake" isn't a real word? And you think I am the stupid fuckwit?
Go buy a large tube of Preparation H, your butthurt must be killing you.
And not just million dollar homes, but also vineyards and their buildings. Worth much more than a neighborhood in Kansas destroyed by a tornado.
...in other news,
Edumacation expinses are too high
As are edumacators.
I've seen most of it.
