In other words you almost never meet them because you are so insular - I know your type; you are the type I would not tell I am a Tea Party member because you would automatically turn against me without thought, and you'd never suspect me of belonging because my views don't match up with your bigoted notions of Tea Party members.
Oh no, I wouldn't. Honest. If you launch into an unsolicited 45 minute long lecture about ``Fucking Obama is trampling my rights again!'' when you get a parking ticket, then I'm not going to want to be around you. Otherwise, we'd be cool. But as of yet, I've never met any self-identifying TP member who didn't do that.
It's a shame that there are even some people I consider good friends who I cannot admit to being fiscally conservative, because I see how unhinged you become at the thought of any kind of conservative in your ranks...
Christ, you act as if you're about to admit that your gay to a bunch of Muslims or something. Get over the persecution complex.
Something to chew on is that Tea Party members are WAY more tolerant of alternative viewpoints than you are; we have to be.
Hmmm..... Let's look at the behavior and voting records of the members of Congress that are part of the Tea Party....
The Social Conservatives are just the people more used to being loathed by people like you so they don't mind telling you what they are.
And they deserve it, mostly for not being honest with themselves about what their vision for the future really is.
Funny, I've never met a single one who wasn't (and I've met a lot of them; not quite a million, but still a lot). The first type I've met is just as concerned about enforcing `family values' as taxes, and likely to believe shit like this. The other type is basically cold fjord but with even less understanding of economics.
This is only surprising if your idea of who supports the Tea Party segment of the Republican Party comes from MSNBC
LOL I don't even watch TV, like, ever. I'm surrounded by these people. Drenched in their stupidity because no one wants to arguing with them when they start shouting about secession (yes, this is Texas, how did you guess). Trust me, I know tea-baggers and they don't give two shits about whatever supposed economic principles the Tea Party originally stood for.
Then he needs to buy a new computer. It is not Microsoft's responsibility to maintain an entire OS for his archaic piece of shit just because he's too fucking cheap to upgrade. Even 2GB of RAM only cost like $30. Or he could take a pick of the millions of Linux distros out there, but that would take more effort than whining about how Microsoft is fucking him I guess.
Ohmahgawd, the CPU cycles! If I turn Aero on my 8 core, 3.5 GHz processor will over heat and might even use a few percent of my 16 GBs of RAM! It disgust me that they would use a whole ONE HUNDRED MEGABYTES of my 4TB hard drive to even hold this crap. I swear, if you want to save your system resources from M$ shit then you have to practically physically remove them. And that's exactly what I did: I have two $500 graphics card sitting in my desk right now because Windows wouldn't stop using it unnecessarily. Talk about fucking bloatware! Too bad they don't make drivers for DOS anymore, otherwise I could be enjoying the refreshingly minimalistic interface that doesn't waste time idling the CPU or on kernel scheduling crap.
This does not count for shit, until a politician ACTS to right a wrongdoing. If a politician does something wrong, then admits it to be "wrong" but makes no effort to fix it, that hardly changes the outcome.
So what's he have to do? Get elected president and oppose the debt ceiling or something?
It was their fault. They tried to kill Obamacare (since the first fifty times they tried failed) and wanted to risk burning the entire country to do it.
Now they have lost half their supporters, probably half their donors, and have nothing to show for it except a pathetic deal to make congress, a collection of millionaires, pay for their own insurance. Yeah, that'll buy back a few hundred people that they alienated.
But they have you to give them head when their feeling sad and defend them on the internet. And that's something, I guess.
Oh shit, they make marginally faster processors for a US company; something that is totally indispensable and could never be done anywhere else in the world. Better sign that vassage agreement pronto!
Ally, huh? Remind me, what exactly does the US get out of this relationship? A couple of Nobel prize winners per year? Is it really worth it, I wonder, I wonder....
Because they are civilization, and not barbarians intent on world domination? Because they are surrounded by barbarians?
And we should care about this why? Why should we be the police in this context but not the others? Is Israel incapable of solving their own problems?
Obamacare will have a bigger effect on freedom than the Patriot Act.
No. The two aren't even in the same league. I'm not even going to bother refuting you. If you won't stop ruining America, then just kill yourself, you worthless fascist. Being forced to buy insurance (though not good) is no where near being spied on or being sent to prison for saying something the government thinks is scary. The oppressive techniques of the socialism you so thoroughly fear was not done by drowning people in paperwork, it was implemented with soldiers on the ground, shooting ``subversives'' in the back of the head for counterrevolutionary ideas. Does it take a brain disorder to believe the shit you spew? Do you just take whatever pathetic idea that pops into your head, shit it out into the textbox, and believe it? What the fuck is wrong with you?
I was thinking in a modern context, not something that happened 70 years ago. Continuing on that article....
Methamphetamine and amphetamine were given to Allied bomber pilots during World War II to sustain them by fighting off fatigue and enhancing focus during long flights. The experiment failed because soldiers became agitated, could not channel their aggression and showed impaired judgment.[18] Rather, dextroamphetamine (Dexedrine) became the drug of choice for American bomber pilots, being used on a voluntary basis by roughly half of the U.S. Air Force pilots during the Persian Gulf War, a practice which came under some media scrutiny in 2003 after a mistaken attack on Canadian troops.[31]
I've found that things that are prepared in bathtubs to rarely have very much medicinal value. And with the exception of child soldiers, I've yet to see a regular military that has it's soldiers use crank in battle. Have you ever seen a tweaker? Not someone you want to give a gun. Or that's my experience at least. Maybe it was better for you when you tried meth.
Oh yeah you're just a shitty troll.
You know, people do make these things called `jokes' some times. I thought it was kinda funny. But it's okay if you want to karma whore too I guess.
Sometimes I wonder if we really are "smarter" then they are.
They might be smarter than you, but of course, that's just because you're an idiot. Run along now and burrow a hole, be one with the earth, noble savage! I shall remain here confident in my ability to outsmart a dog on anything other than identification by urine scent.
No, that happened two days ago, but/. never picked it up. 'Tor Stinks'
Top-secret presentation says 'We will never be able to de-anonymize all Tor users all the time' but 'with manual analysis we can de-anonymize a very small fraction of Tor users'
Yeah... because we've never had problems with adding a crapton of floating point and extra decimal places to math with computers before. (rolls eyes)
Congratulations on another wonderful display of ignorance! A Grade-A+++ girlintraining post! This isn't a weather simulator where the numbers are going to be raised to the hundredth power, it's basic, linear algebra here.
Some of the greatest financial scams of our time were based on rounding and floating point errors.
Really? Name one that didn't just collect tiny pieces at a time but actually used floating point errors. Besides that, since the ledger is public and the protocol (and Bitcoin is technically a protocol, not a piece of software, if you even know what that means) standardized, then it would be handled uniformly and that won't be an issue.
The idea that the currency can be "infinitely divisible" is not a selling point, it's a structural weakness.
Explain. And don't just shit out a wall of text that evades the subject like you usually do.
That's what they claim the reason is, but it's funny that if you use Facebook or one of the other ``social'' logins with, say, Chinese characters, you get an Internal Server Error. I submit that the backend is garbage and they don't know how to fix it.
Also, those are dumb reasons anyway. If you're so scared of that, blacklist the directional formatting codepages and let the lameness filter block anything that isn't mostly text. It isn't as if spammers can't spam purely ASCII garbage that makes the page look hideous as it is (for example, look at what a certain HOSTS file fanatic does all the time).
People who steal food aren't viewed so terribly. Most can kinda empathize with that, if not condone it. If that guy had stolen a CD or something, I bet it wouldn't he would have been punished much more harshly.
If I can reference fiction: Even Jean Valjean was sent to prison because he broke the window, not for stealing the bread.
So Facebook dipshits boycotting spagetti and forcing a noodle maker to retract his statement is pushing social change more than, say, a Montgomery bus boycott might for civil rights did? Delusional. Go read a fucking history book and realize that this pathetic `action' will never be more than a footnote, at best, in it. This is not reshaping society any more than the invention of the wheel on the mouse did.
Scheme is also Lisp, even though it isn't called Lisp and is very different from Common Lisp. There is no standard Lisp, and if you mind your parentheses, you too can make your own Lisp dialect and it would be no more or less valid than any other Lisp, Emacs Lisp included.
See, it's that sort of waste-of-time nonsense that ensures that no one will ever take you seriously. You might as well be discussing how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. Strong AI is decades off and by the very definition the singularity is something that you can't see past because the rules break down. As for a robot apocalypse because some AI gets it's feelings hurt, recognize that real life is not a movie. There is no computer system that can set off the entire nuclear arsenal all on it's own. Grow up. Why would an AI care at all? Do you seriously think that anyone would have any use for a machine with emotions? The worst thing they could possibly do is get us all hooked on fuckbots so that no one bothered to reproduce.
Western society is a bit of a mess. The legal and financial systems are actually unlawful. If you search 'meet your strawman', there's a website that descibes just how bad it is. People can 'legally' get away with violating common law(unconstitutional).
Oh fuck, people don't take common law marriages seriously any more: men and women are living together without being married! We have people using roads without getting easements! Women get to own property!WHAT A FUCKING DISASTER! If we don't remedy this quick, ALPHAOMEGABOT-666FBX will surely smite us all.

Not meth (admittedly, on a technicality).

Oh, it's just attempted murder then. Well since he failed, he shouldn't be punished.
How about N. Korea style law enforcement tactics? That'll probably do some damage.

More like "Don't post your crap in mostly-unrelated places that I'm interested in."
