Without a single doubt. Now that "misogyny" has been clearly defined as "disagreeing with any woman on any topic", there will always be misogyny to feel good about bashing. For example, TFA: men disagree with women on the ratings for a show. Misogyny by definition.
The economy generally does better under a Democratic administration than a Republican administration.
For many decades now, we elect fun Democrats in good times, and stern Republicans to fix things in bad times. Obama's second term was a huge departure from that, so maybe it's no longer predictive.
Nearly eight years of Obama has brought the country out of a very deep hole
Or, "despite Obama's best attempts to destroy the economy, after 7 long years we're finally struggling free". Whichever opinion you have, the president doesn't vote on the budget, and rarely has any real effect on the economy. Presidents sometimes have the influence to change the income tax rules, and sometimes affect trade negotiations, but both of those take years before we see any impact. Mostly it's "sound and fury signifying nothing".
Our problems this century have nothing to do with R or D, but with the fact that everyone in Washington seems to care only about their big donors, and everything else is deception. Clinton will be the queen of "more of the sane", Trump will be a random policy generator. Pick your poison.
I would have thought on this site - people commenting on this particular *website* - would know better than to try and diminish it. The internet is where some of us spend more time than anywhere else, and yes these are a valid way of interacting socially.
Valid? Yes. But if it's harmful, stop. Go outside. Reset your perceptions. Remember the internet is not real life. Decide that it doesn't matter after all. Keep it from harming you.
This must be a cultural thing. Where I grew up, you kept your nose out of your neighbor's business, or you got shot. It's an easy habit to get into: "does this affect me directly? no? STFU!". Makes for far less drama in everyone's life, and better communities in general.
You've mis-understood her complaint. She has a legitimate gripe here: either the DMCA is irredeemably broken, or YouTube's implementation of it is. Their system is: 1. Make baseless DMCA complaint about someone 2. Get all their ad revenue until they successfully fight the complaint - several days at least for high-profile YouTubers, perhaps forever for normal people 3. Keep all that revenue after the complaint is found to be baseless 4. Profit!
There are dozens of videos from movie and game reviewers about this, who are constantly barraged by baseless takedown notices.
I understand that there are sometimes vulnerabilities that allow an OS to break out of the VM.
These are very rare and valuable. Much more so than a run-of-the-mill Linux privilege escalation exploit. You don't need a bank vault door on a house with glass windows.
The normal thing malware does when it detects a VM is immediately stop, or sometimes unhook itself, as a way to foil some malware detection engines and generally make life harder for security researchers.
The difference between a hipster and a hippie is that the hipsters think the hippies aren't really hip, they just been fooled by things that are "widely disrespected as fake and dishonest, sell-out enterprises". No one is suggesting that hipsters shop at Whole Foods - it was specifically created to separate "people who think hippies are cool" from their money. The guy behind Whole Foods is creating a different line of stores to separate hipsters from their money, BTW. That should be entertaining to watch - "Local Indie Foods" maybe? Or different name for each location, and change it every couple of years?
Anyway, my point was that the people who shop at Whole Foods are Middle-Everything: middle-aged, middle-class, middle-of-the-road politically, and so on. The key is they think they're just a little bit smarter, think they've found the occasional bit of hidden knowledge that keeps them one-up on others. From buying organic to avoid chemicals, to occasionally believing the BS about inoculations, this is the crowd that really wants to know that one weird trick discovered by a mom (corporations hate her).
Housing isn't apples-to-apples. When I was a kid, everyone I knew had more people than rooms in their house, or about the same number if they were doing well. Now the expectation is that you have at least as many bedrooms as people who live in a place, plus some common rooms. The housing boom that ended in the mid-2000s bubble was mostly about this transition.
Health care is even more apples and oranges. Health care would be cheap indeed if all we had was 1950s-style care. It's expensive because we have MRIs and CAT scans and miracle wonder drugs.
So middle-aged, middle-class parents who think hippies are cool, and buy organic foods at Whole Foods because they don't have chemicals - these are your definition of "right wingers"? How very strange. Must be a pretty big wing, that right wing.
And so you're taking all this rage out on the poor people
Are you replying to the right post?
. Oh, I guess this is the "entitlement" talking, nobody should be required to give them a job, they should just make one out of thin air on their own, right?
Every job comes from the same place. A human sees something that another human needs, and finds a way to provide it at a profit. Both humans now have more than they used to. You act like these some group of people keeping the Job Fairy in a cage, or building a wall around the Job Tree or something. Someone has to make that job "out of thin air"; there's no other place jobs come from.
Anyhow, manufacturing mostly all robots, only about 10% of people work in it, and at least the US has plenty of it (never researched Canada). Can't get by without food either, but it takes less than 5% of people working in the field.
Just because we need something doesn't mean it takes a lot of people, or a large portion of the economy, to provide it.
Obama could put an end to this anytime he wanted. But he'd rather spend the DoJ's time on letting men into the women's toilets.
I for one applaud Obama's work on behalf of perverts nationwide. Oh, sure, a few transgendered people here and there will benefit, but high school boys everywhere are about to discover they just need to declare "today I'm a woman" and they get into the girls locker room. No more sneaking through the back door to the pool area in hopes of a brief glimpse before the coaches catch you and beat you senseless, like in my day, no! It's a perverts' paradise.
(On a more serious note, repeat sex offenders out on parole will discover they just need to declare "today I'm a woman" and they get legal access to women in a vulnerable position. There are more sex offenders than transgendered, so won't that be fun.)
Well, if Canada was a productive manufacturing country
Manufacturing is about as relevant as farming to wealth in the modern world. Sure, it's a non-trivial part of the economy, just like farming, but it's an odd thing to focus on.
The anti-vaxxers are not anti science. You may be confused about the demographics here. These are middle-aged parents who shop at whole foods and think hippies are cool (but aren't hippies themselves). They may believe that organic foods don't have chemicals, but they're not opposed to science on principle.
No, I never meant to imply that. They tried the normal ways to expand the money supply. There's a difference between a check from the government, and a 0% interest car loan. I'm not sure there's enough of a difference to matter, but of course there's a difference. What I'm saying is that there's no evidence that increasing the money supply this new way will do anything more to stimulate the economy than the other ways of increasing the money supply: very low interest rates, and government spending QE-style.
I'd also like to see "remote robotic mining and production", which we might get use of long before "off-planet habitation" (though maybe it's part of the same bucket). I think we've reached the point where asteroid mining is mostly a robotics challenge, and a fuel station in orbit changes everything.
MakeMKV used to take a long time to catch up after key rotation. Maybe they're doing better now. (BTW, Movie bought retail, Movie from Netflix, and Movie from Redbox all have different keys and different likelihoods of ripping successfully the first week or two).
Wait, you can pay for it now? Wow, that wasn't the case when I bought AnyDVD. I thought they were slipping under the radar thanks to not taking money (unlike AnyDVD and DVDFab, who face serious lawfare opposition).

Misogyny is alive and well on the internet.
Without a single doubt. Now that "misogyny" has been clearly defined as "disagreeing with any woman on any topic", there will always be misogyny to feel good about bashing. For example, TFA: men disagree with women on the ratings for a show. Misogyny by definition.
So, what you're saying is: "Crack team of scientists desciver the surprising truth: online polls are worthless".

Well, at least someone profits.

Sadly, that's not how the laws are being written - Houston's "anyone can use either bathroom, just shut up" law is the pattern.

We the jury would prefer you stop supporting slave labor.
So, wait, paying someone to do a job is slave labor, while not paying someone to do the same job is ... OK?

I've never heard the middle-age parents who shop at Whole Foods described as "Wingers" before. Sort of an odd label.
