As near as I can tell, hashtag activism occurs in cyberspace. REAL activism occurs in meatspace. My advice to millennial "activists"? Step away from the internet and do something real.

But your lawn is so much... safer... than those sandier "lawns"...
One has got to imagine though, between these practices, H1Bs, 80 hour work weeks, and other wage-lowering standards in the tech field, how many Billions these corps have saved, reinvested, and reaped as untold wealth, while only having their feet held to the fire for about 100m each in this case. They are sure to invent some fascinating practices to hold wages down further in the coming years.
Enjoy your hot soup. cause that's all they serve. on the soup line.
You've just discovered the appeal of Trump.
Even Ted Cruz, formerly thought of as the immigration hawk before Trump showed up, thinks that we need more H1Bs. Lots of 'em.
Sure, Trump may well turn out to be full of it. But we know all the rest of them are. May as well roll the dice on the "clown", since all the rest are in red wigs and baggy pants themselves.
You don't need intelligence to follow procedure, you need to follow procedure to follow procedure. That's why there's a procedure to follow.
Procedures alone don't cut it. You have to understand the procedure, understand when the situation doesn't fit the procedure, etc.
That's why the Navy's nuclear program, for example - definitely no stranger to procedure - also recruits smart people, and trains the heck out of them, not just in procedure but in theory.
It's expensive, highly selective, and therefore deeply unpopular in today's world - yet absolutely necessary if you are dealing with dangerous stuff.
So "tech giants" are interested in burnishing their "diversity" image, and maybe even increasing the domestic labor supply a tad.
I guess that means there's a "shortage" and they won't be doing any more layoffs.
if you (not you, justanotheroldguy, anyone reading) agitate for legal marijuana, gays getting married, women controlling their own bodies, etc.: i consider you a libertarian, and i respect you
Does cutting through the face to get a salable brain = "women controlling their own bodies"?
Is fining somebody hundreds of thousands of dollars for declining to bake a cake "libertarian"?
You are a leftist, not a libertarian. Why not own it? Is there something wrong with it, that you want to hide it or relabel it?
... it is definitely not what our culture says though. So let's ignore it.
Anger is like steam, and must be "vented". You can see how well that has worked; how calm and peaceful we've become since the 60s when we discovered the steam like properties of anger.
From experience, silicone rubber tends to pick up a lot of gunk really quickly - body hair, dead skin cells, dust, that kind of thing. This seems like something the manufacturer intends for people to use on a daily basis the way you might use a pair of earbuds, taking them off and putting them on several times a day. I'd be interested to see how they intend to combat the gunk buildup, as well as how they expect it to stick in the middle of summer or at the gym when sweat becomes an issue.
Exactly, bleah.
This might be good for my son, who doesn't have hands, but "wearables" do not appeal to me at all.
nobody should be “selling” tissue. That’s just not the goal here.
Now, about your claim that Planned Parenthood is selling body parts: You're full of shit. Just like most conservatives.
You either didn't see the videos, or you've actually gone a bit psychotic, breaking from reality.
They haggled over price. They use a "less crunchy technique" to preserve more salable parts. The one woman wants a Lamborghini.
it is hard to face; it's one of those decision points where you either have to realize you've been backing monsters, or else you have to double down, and insist that you don't know what you know.
For example, there's been the long-running practice of reenlistment bonuses. Different jobs get much higher bonuses for reenlisting.
The base pay may be the same, but the difference between, say, a low-ranking cook and a low-ranking nuclear weapons technician is pretty startling when that bonus is calculated. As in "tens of thousands of dollars."
Exactly right.
A nuke can get 1. an enlistment bonus, 2. starts as E3 instead of E1, 3. auto promotion to E4 after boot camp, 4. specialty pay, 5. re-enlistment bonuses.
Oh yeah, the teachers at navy nuke power school? "Direct input" officers, officers so they can be paid more.
because the creation of child porn victimizes actual children,
And the creation of adult porn victimizes actual adults. The "performers" are way more likely than average to be mentally ill, drug addicted, and the victims of childhood abuse.
It's not so sexy once you realize you are watching damaged people be exploited.

* How would unilateral nuclear reductions enhance our security? It would ensure that these dangerous weapons are not used on humans.
So... can we do those or are you going to just bitch about other Millenials on the internet?
Um ... you did see the "unilateral" part, right?
So let me get this straight, this kid is being arrested and Trump is leading the polls?
Yes, because not everybody finds ratios as difficult as you do.
That's lovely how it fits the approved narrative.
I'm sure the occasional beefy guy named Guido in Chicago actually played violin too. That means the Mob was just a myth.
I that run by the same government that wants to collect all our private data for security reasons?
Yes, that's right, by Obama's government. He's been the chief executive since 2009.
That's what people wanted right, "progressive"-ly more Orwellian?

I guess I'm supposed to be shocked by the headline? Oh noos.
If you'd prefer he get an @ss-whupping or psychiatric treatment instead, OK, I guess that would work.
Mind you the two of them can have sex without legal issue throw snapchat into the mix and now it's a serious crime?
Maybe it's that that's the problem? Kind of defines deviancy down, doesn't it?
How is this legal? Tricking people into paying for accounts by convincing them that someone is trying to message them would be fraud, wouldn't it?
I for one am outraged that people who facilitate adultery are anything but honest and above board!
with renewables, wind and nuclear (as well as energy efficiency) the main beneficiaries.
.... right, because everyone knows that leftists will just up and embrace nuclear, any day now.
That combination isn't on the table.

I've seen so many two-minutes hates in the last few years that I don't know who to believe.
... and along with Opera, I can have three versions of Chrome running!
You mean that a Democrat governor was turning the dogs on him, like, yesterday?!?
.. would be to sell them to "wealthy" countries too.
They could still sell the more expensive lines (proof: Apple exists).

Watch the video.
Here is what that Planned Parenthood doctor actually said:
nobody should be “selling” tissue. That’s just not the goal here.
Now, about your claim that Planned Parenthood is selling body parts: You're full of shit. Just like most conservatives.

it is hard to face; it's one of those decision points where you either have to realize you've been backing monsters, or else you have to double down, and insist that you don't know what you know.
If you make a claim, you need to back it up. This isn't a political convention.
Citation please.
The videos themselves. Those are actual PP people, saying those things. They haven't even denied it.
Wow, you really believe that?
You think it is a "hoax" that actual Planned Parenthood officials said what they said, on tape? Really?
Were they actors? Were their words dubbed? Were those fake baby parts? What part exactly was a "hoax"?
I guess your brain just can't face the truth. It's amazing the contortions you will go through though.
...except that's not actually true.
