    Methinks you don't understand how 'magic' works.

    You think wrong.

    Since it is inside the file, it is far harder to change than a simple rename operation.

    ...and is completely hidden to the user, who then executes dancingbunny.jpg because he thinks its an image.

    Luckily it doesnt work the way *you* think it should. Wrong thinking seems to be a pattern with you, tho.

    UNIX systems have used "magic" for decades, and try to identify based on the actual file contents instead of its name.

    That sounds terrible.

    And then Microsoft came along, decided the extension was magic and reliable

    Better to use the file extension than it is to load and execute dancingbunny.png.

    As a member of a union, I can attest to this. Unions exist to protect the most senior, and its not just during layoffs. Everything goes by seniority once you unionize.

    People keep saying that unions were demonized by republicans or whatever... wrong. They are demonized by themselves.

    You know, like how boys are blue, girls are pink.

    Is it men, or women, that are perpetuating this?

    Or boys play with action figures of soldiers and astronauts and whatnot, while girls play with barbies and miniature houses.

    This has of course been studied more than once on children before they could have been coerced by social stereotypes. You do know what the results of these studies were, right?

    Girls ARE actively discouraged from pursuing careers in science and technology as they're more "masculine" occupations and steered towards more "feminine" occupations like teacher and nurse.

    Who is doing the "active" discouraging?

    I have an idea. You raise your kids, and I'll raise mine. If you fuck your kids up thats your business. If I fuck my kids up thats my business. If you ever try to tell me how to raise my kids I'll tell you to STFU, and if you ever try to force it through government coercion (violence) then I'll fucking kill you. If your kids try the same I'll kill them too. You do not get to fuck up my kids. Period.

    Democrats are Opposite People. Whatever they are saying is always the opposite of what they actually do in practice.

Then look at who they blame for what they did to health insurance and how the House and Senate votes actually went. 100% opposite.

They are the party that focuses on skin color while calling the other party racists. They are the party of womanizers complaining that the other party is sexist. They are the party of tax cheats complaining that the other party dodges taxes.

    I've linked to the "Basic" explanation, but there Intermediate and Advanced explanations that go into more detail.

    ..and nothing about your link refutes what the GP said.

    In fact, your link exactly echoes what he said:

    Basic: "The "decline" refers to a decline in northern tree-rings..."

    What the GP brought up is that these tree rings are trusted as proxies for measuring historic temperature, but for a fact (a fact so strong that it must be 'hidden') modern tree ring growth does not correlate with modern temperature measurements..

    This undermines almost all the AGW climate science because all the AGW climate science requires those tree rings to show how much cooler it was in the past.

    ..and to really fuck over your rationalization:

    Advanced: "It actually refers to a decline in tree growth at certain high-latitude locations. This decline began in the 1960s when tree-ring proxies diverged from the temperature record."

    They claim that this decline began in the 1960s, and its just coincidental that the timing correlates to when we started getting good first-hand temperature data of the entire planet via satellites.

    What a bunch of shit. All you armchair economists focus on the currency and because of that you come up with insane conclusions.

    The facts are that an average person will always be able to trade a day of their labor for a day of another average persons labor.

    Economics is not about money. Economics is about the allocation of resources.

    You probably measure wealth in money too. Sorry pal. The measure of a mans wealth is the measure of the goods as services the man enjoys, not the enumeration of his money.

    Pro-tip: If your argument about economics relies on there being "money" then its a flawed argument. The degree to which it is flawed depends on the degree to which you must depart from what money represents in order to make the argument.

    Your argument required the largest possible departure from what money represents. Your argument is therefore flawed to the largest possible extent.
