Blah, blah, and here we have it: the group who jumps out at every Trump discussion and says he's *obviously* a racist in a runaround attempt to stifle debate. It's not obvious at all - I don't think he's a racist at all. Actually, I would agree he's a racist under the new modern definition of racism whereby anyone who doesn't constantly virtue signal to diversity is a racist. We're all racists, including Trump, under the new definition.
I'm not even sure what you mean by the word anymore.. are you trying to convince me Trump hates black people and would never hire them? Clearly false.
Exactly. If everybody is a racist, then nobody is.
Every Republican candidate since Goldwater at least has been called a racist, loudly. Nobody listens anymore, except the left, who weren't going to vote for him anyway.
It's just irrelevant theater at this point. Even if a real no kidding racist did somehow run for the nomination, nobody would know, because everyone gets called a racist anyway and no Republican believes it anymore. (And who's fault would that be? Not Republicans'. It would be the boys who cried wolf... and cried... and cried... for decades... )
Peter Strozk, the FBI boss in the news for saying he would "stop Trump" from becoming President, was the person who paid Stefan Halper as an FBI informant and placed him inside the Trump campaign.
Stefan Halper then used his influence inside the campaign to recommend and hire Carter Page, who is now accused of being a Russian spy.
So the trail of facts seems to show a very very different story.
1. FBI's boss (Peter Strozk) hires a mole
2. FBI place mole inside Trump campaign (due to fear of russia)
3. FBI Mole recommends and hires a Russian spy (Carter Page)
4. FBI gets warrants to spy on campaign based on Russian spy "infiltrating" the campaign - Peter Strozk (see 1) leads the investigation
5. Opponents claim Trump colluded with Russians and deny FBI bias.
If Occam's razor can provide a better way to interpret these facts, please share.
First of all, that sound you hear is Russia, quaking in it's boots, lol
Secondly, the US government conducted espionage against a U.S. presidential campaign, with the goal of either making it lose, or as a fallback to be an "insurance policy" in case that candidate won. Any charges going to filed in that? Anything? Beuller?
As I told my family members who moved away - I'm not important enough to live near, so you're not important enough to visit. If I show up, I do, but I'm under no obligation.
Wow, you are SUCH a badass. But lets say your kid goes to a university on the other side of the country and is in a nasty accident, and your employer will only let you take three days off next to a weekend. You really gonna tell Junior to go fuck himself & he's on his own, or are you going to put down the big man act for a couple of days and fly Southwest?
I'm not the guy you are taking to task, but... behavior changes on the margins.
TSA excesses (and the lack of redress capability) make flying that much more "expensive".
Sure, if it's worth it, we'll do it. Like any decision, there are multiple factors that we weigh, whether we do it consciously or not.
But the overall effect will be - or should be - less flying.
So when Junior's not in the hospital - which would be, uh, most of the time, for most people - he may have to wait until I can drive it to see me.
I think it's more in use than he thinks, but... taking him at his premise, I'm not sure that "nobody uses it but it's available vestigially most places" is really "winning"...

While on all other stories, it's all about how raaaacist any naysayers must be, etc.
Would the same level of abuse be possible with Apple iOS, or is this intrinsic flaw in open-sourced Android where it is possible to modify OS functionality without it becoming obvious?

It's just that a voice input app will kick in whenever a keyboard is needed - oops.
Actually, It's one mega-corp trying to stop efforts from people who are deliberately misinforming you on their platform. They have no control of information you get elsewhere.
Two platforms so far, owned by the same corp.
Good thing we don't have a few internet mega corps who own multiple platforms. And all lean in the same direction, politically.
MS need not fear accusations of infringement, but for the same reason that The Biggest Pirate Ever doesn't worry about it.

However, Taiwan is a democracy with protection for basic human rights. You can freely fly the Chinese flag and openly advocate Taiwan is a part of China. Try doing the reverse in China will most likely result in imprisonment. That is the biggest difference between Taiwan and China.
Oh', that China vs China argument is a Chinese construct. The Chinese position is, if Taiwan renounces its Chinese territorial claim then that's justification for invasion; if Taiwan continues its Chinese territorial claim, that too is justification for invasion.
Yep.
Hipsters and their love of communism. They'll call their own president a "nazi" - openly, in public, with no repercussions whatsoever, just backslaps from all around - but a real repressive dictatorship (red China), they just can't get enough of loving that.
Let's see... We have a web service that grabs copyrighted material from a third-party website, then distributes a mechanically-derived work of that copyrighted material... Sounds about right.

Is MS on the hook if I paste a Disney character into a Word doc, using their cloud version of Office?
Our last election, and even current reporting, showed that a lot of people do not learn, and even the ones that do end up learning too late.
Are you serious?
You didn't like the results of the last presidential election, so that means that video sites need to festoon any unapproved opinions and information with warnings and links to goodthink?
It's the defining characteristic of government.
Want to know who the government is, in a location? It's whoever can legitimately send armed men against you to enforce their will.
On the other hand, I think that response is a problem in US culture. Everyone has ugly aspects in their personality. Firing should not be a standard response whenever a bit of ugliness rises to the surface. This seems like a bit of Puritan legacy which our European friends don't share.
Well, maybe if we're going to fire people for contributing to unpopular (in some circles) ballot initiatives, for saying unapproved things in an internal forum that pretended to be soliciting open discussion, etc., then perhaps we can fire someone for dumping on even a currently unfavored group.
Maybe what's good for the goose is literally good for the gander.

Yep. Or a Moto E4 for $125. No dual SIM, but international 4G, SD card, and user-replaceable battery.
Yep. Got the E4 for $100 with Amazon apps; deleted them with just adb (no root!)

Well, yeah. The evidence is indisputable.
They aren't "banning protests". You can protest all you want. You just can't illegally interfere with their operations.
You may have to actually, you know, just convince people of what you want to happen. I know that's so old and Europeany and stuff, but hey.
