Summary:A) Trump the person could very well be the biggest, most narcissistic douche on the planet (I wouldn't know, I've never met the guy... though apparently all the rest of you have, because I sure as fuck hear an awful lot of conviction in said claims about the guy.
B) Trump the showman clearly makes every effort to seem like the biggest, most narcissistic douche on the planet. Regardless of the reason (whether it's because he's Evil Incarnate or a drooling moron... or because he's got everyone fooled and is actually Mother Theresa with a sex change and a sneaky plan to save us all from ourselves), it's still a fucking show.
C) his record on 'coal and climate' is indeed nightmarish.
D) His two most controversial actions, however (stemming illegal and legal immigration; igniting a proper trade war)... shouldn't be.
Business as usual, if for no other reason than we've been reading about blatantly-and-suspiciously-insecure voting machines here on/. for twenty years. However, far too many "idealistic progressives" (I'm one myself, albeit of the "minimal gov't" school) live in a cushy reality bubble where "government is quite benign and effective, as long as it's flying the right flag) and "good intentions naturally translate to good deeds..." as long as there's a committee that's "diverse enough."
And as for compatibility between different cultures... well, as just one example, exactly what does happen when you throw sexually-unrepressed and open-minded Danish cultural 'into the blender' with, say, Bedouin culture and its notions??
Then there's this whole nonsensical reaction to America finally doing something about our monstrous (and growing) trade multi-decade trade imbalance - i.e. simply doing what every other nation does. Here's a hint: the issue of America needing to protect her [few remaining industries] isn't a political or idealogical one; it's basic arithmetic.
There was an urban legend back in the 80's of somebody who supposedly thought that "cruise control" meant he or she could completely step sway from the wheel of their motorhome while rolling down the highway.
I dispute the likelihood of this story being accurate... for the simple reason that we didn't have Millenials back then.
"Lunar Village" will be where you'll find most of the Japanese tourists (they'll eventually fire the particular "Engrish speaking" Nihonjin who came up with "Moon Village" when they realize how "baca" it actually sounded).
However, "Moon Town" will be where you'll find the triple-breasted whores. And the rest of the Japanese tourists.
I may be wrong but I always thought that cargo spaces, even on commercial airlines, were not pressurised.
Perhaps that would be why you always see fligh tattendants in the movies put on pressurized gear before entering the airlock that leads downstairs (it also might be why all those dogs and cats down below in their pet crates never seem to make it to the destination alive...).;)
It's just as likely that there are so many Uber drivers now that they're crowding each other out and nobody can make a living.
This is in fact exactly what's happened: an oversupply of drivers has greatly reduced the profitability and drivers thus aren't as motivated to put in as many hours.
Strat, you're usually spot-on but in this case, we're looking at the result of Uber and Lyft's massive 'recruiting war' that they've been engaged in the past few years. The numbers have likely plateaued but there are now far too many drivers. Of course, the companies - and the customers - aren't likely to mind this one bit.
Airborne prey requires an airborne predator. When the morons finally admit that "GMO'ing away" the problem only risks fucking shit up even worse, we'll see postage-stamp-sized drones that burn off mosquitoes' wings with a laser...
You're getting "they" deliberately confused with "they" in an attempt to provide a successful response... to a rhetorical and self-evident point. Quit while you're ahead...?
News at 11: People who lack the ability to interact naturally with their fellow humans... might not be aware of the general need for - and/or the usefulness of - said ability.
So in other words... it's a lot easier to lump all those [wildly-varying] cultures together with overly simplistic generalizations when you've never actually visited them.
Asswipe, if everybody here had guns, there'd have been fewer casualties. Now go turn in anything you might conceivably defend yourself with... not to make a [likely much-needed] point... but because your implied claim that your fellow humans can't be trusted to defend themselves... reveals far more about you... than you're remotely sane or intelligent enough to realize.

You can be a millenial at any age...
Obviously.
Text simply lacks the "tone" needed for 'proper comedic delivery" (in person, my humor comes across as a bit more playful and a bit less biting...). ;)

"Most of the other half" does *not* run on COBOL or this debate simply wouldn't be taking place.
There are hardcore gamers and then there are marketing scum. Not a lot of overlap, rest assured.

Fine but when some guy bangs your daughter with a 3D-printed penis, you'll be... quite upset.
You've got to admit that Bin Laden's "burial at sea" was pretty amusing.
Mod up!
What we really need is a "-10: Scumbag Establishment Shill" mod.
We probably shouldn't be surprised that anti-firearm types keep insisting on bringing knives (dull knives at that) to this particular debate. :)
Statistics show that owning a gun makes you a much higher risk at being a victim of gun crime.
Except, of course, when some random moron's supposed "statistics" are clearly contradicted by common fucking sense. ;)
I'm going to write code for nine hours straight without talking to another human being (besides occasionally looking at /. )
We thank you in advance for not posting anything.

making sure dumbfucks don't come to the party
Well put... though dumbfucks might take issue with your phrasing... ;)

Bullshit; IP Laws and regulatory capture lead to monopolies.
