  1. Re:Gots to find more ways to avoid taxes on Rand Paul and Silicon Valley's Shifting Political Climate · · Score: 1

    Welfare hasn't existed since the mid 90s. Bill Clinton signed the law that abolished it. Secondly, unemployment doesn't last forever. So even if people were doing that, which no one has proved more than a small minority is doing, it's not like they could live on it for more than a year or so.

    Amazing to see that people are still falling for Reagan's "welfare queen" fantasy.

    You don't read much of Stan Lee's works then I presume? His works have always been about political and social issues.

    You are using archaic myths to justify misogyny.

    Right, because slapping big tits on a female character to appeal to creepy nerds is the height of enlightenment and anti-misogyny.

    Taking a historic Superhero character and making it a woman is a good thing. The industry needs fewer people like you, and more young girls.

    Sure, it would be if she wasn't made to have the same ridiculous and unrealistic body proportions that no woman can live up to. Same with not having your female characters just be simply riding the coattails of a popular male character. If they really believed the nonsense they are spewing they would have created an original character without ridiculous things like the huge tits. As it is, this is just comics sexism disguised as "empowerment".

    The USA is risking to loose one of the few remaining friends it has in the world.

    Sure, if you're naive enough to think the government outrage is real and not just a show for the plebes. In the real world, the German government will continue to share information and use the NSA as an information source. They'll just try to continue to work towards making sure they are not being spied from now on.

    Why do you lump Klipsch in with Monster Cables? The founder of Klipsch is renown for debunking many crap claims made by many speaker makers similar to the nonsense claims that Monster makes. Perhaps you mean "No highs. No lows. It's Bose"? K-horns, for example, have always been solid speakers.

    I'm sure the German population is pissed by it. But the outrage I'm talking about is the phony scapegoating coming from the government who is conveniently only upset when it wasn't just the plebes being spied on. They were perfectly fine with that.

    They want to join the 5 Eyes so that they can continue to receive NSA intelligence that they use against their citizens but the government officials won't be spied on.

    And yet their own intelligence agencies have no issue with sharing and working with the NSA.

    Germany's government was perfectly fine with the NSA's surveillance until they found out they were being spied on too. It's faux outrage meant to deflect people's attention from them being in bed with the NSA for years.

    I laughed even more at a comment he made near the bottom:

    Yes programming is far worse than any field of engineering. I think we can quantify this, though I haven’t actually done the experiment yet. Stack up all the textbooks and reference manuals that a proficient web programmer needs to know. Include estimates for things like Rails that don’t even bother to have docs anymore. Compare the height to that for engineers in other fields like electrical or mechanical engineering. I believe our stack will be 10 times as high.

    What a fucking joke!
