Sounds like a free market problem to me. As in, if no one is willing to carry the bullshit you're peddling, perhaps you should modify your message a bit. Because Alex Jones is a bullshit peddler extraordinaire, and the market is rejecting him. Too bad for Alex.
And now Trump is mad because the BS peddlers that support him are dwindling as troll farm, fake news, and political conspiracy theory filters become more effective. Let me grab a box of industrial strength tissues for this sob story.
Ignoring my personal biases, if the federal government feels compelled to push back on misinformation, it should re-enact the Fairness Doctrine.
Yet another reason to avoid their crappy XFinity wi-fi routing features. Mine are turned off so I can use my own router, which gives me full control and allows me to lock things down. Convincing Comcast to bridge the router was a real pain, but keeping their techs tied up for three days convinced them I wasn't going to give up, and they finally relented.
I'm self-employed, and after hours, unless I'm expecting a call, if I'm in the middle of something, chances are very good I'll let the call go to voicemail. Part of the reason I'm self-employed was to wrest control of my professional and personal life from employers that would take advantage of me at any opportunity.
I've been that guy on-call, and that's a different story. You know what you're signing on for when you take on that responsibility. I'm talking about situations where I'm expected to answer the call for "all hands on deck" without any additional compensation or consideration. Now, if I spend time on your system, you get billed, as it should be.
Judging from what I saw at NRF in New York City earlier this week the answer is a definite no. Not only did the systems I saw fail to guess my facial emotion but they also decided that I was female. I'm a 53 your old man with short hair and a goatee. It kind of makes you wonder what kind of faces they used to program in what a female face would look like...
I don't think that we are far off but that conference tends to have some pretty decent cutting-edge systems to show off and we are clearly not there yet.
I've been using Delphi since its inception, and its predecessors going all the way back to Turbo Pascal 3.01. It's a fantastic environment, the language is easy to use, and I can get a project done in half the time it takes to put the same thing together in C#. The Delphi hate seems to mostly come from.NET programmers that bought into the M$ propaganda.
I think what Jhon is trying to say is, "Make a mistake, pay for it for the rest of your scumbag little life, you loser. And your loser little kids, too." Because nothing says America like magnifying the sins of the parents so they affect the kids as much as possible.
Sure, the "stay in school and don't get pregnant" advice is great for kids coming up, but there's no need to assume they deserve abject poverty if they don't follow it perfectly. That's just being a dick.
Get down with your bad self. Some people don't need a college education to be successful and happy in life. But for those that seek that education, there should be no barriers, including and not limited to financial barriers.
Hope you plan on doing a little reading up in your spare time on history and science, y'know, so you can keep up with the rest of us educated folks. Because pretending that critical thinking skills and information are the same as socialist indoctrination is not just sad, it's going to grow the portion of the population that is ignorant and easily mislead by GOP propaganda.
It's a far leap between thinking that banking and investment firms have a detrimental effect on the country when poorly regulated, to thinking that banks and investment firms need to be dissolved. Your entire argument rests on an implied slippery slope argument and is therefore moot.
I can't imagine why this has a score of zero. AC is absolutely correct. Flag burning is a red herring, and Trump supporters are either rich and know exactly what they are getting or, more commonly, pathetically stupid.
Hey, it's kind of chilly in here.... I better put another flag on the fire...
I have three kids in college right now and one that's graduated already.
Yes, I regularly hyperventilate about how much it costs. I hyperventilate more about the weddings they describe and think I'm going to pay for (three girls).
And none of them knows what the hell you're talking about. They don't typically hear left leaning ideology. They hear lectures on the course topics. And of those professors that do bring up politics in the classroom, and they are apparently a small percentage, it seems balanced between left wing and right wing.
Don't let Fox "News" and Breitbart convince you that higher education is bad. Growing the uneducated portion of the population serves the GOP's need for an ignorant and fearful power base.
I grew up being taught about the Bible as well, but then I grew up, learned critical thinking skills, and realized there is no proof for any god. Since man is the only animal smart enough to understand that it will die someday, the fear of death is a convenient tool by which to control people and gain power. And while people do some really good things to impress their gods, kids also do some really good things to impress Santa, but they grow out of that one day and do those good things, hopefully, just because they are good people. I regularly do good things just because I'm a good person, not because I feel the need to impress a mythical figure.
As such, my life is now ruled by logic, not by the moral standards of people who lived in very different times and who turned to dust thousands of years ago. Since science is built on logic, I trust science, my knowledge of history, and my own moral compass as my guides.
The Republican Party's power is based largely on the manufactured consensus of the fearful, ignorant, and with the addition of the religious right, the superstitious, so it's plain to see why colleges and universities pose a huge threat to their power base, and it clearly explains the impetus for Fox "News" and other right wing propaganda sites to tear at the foundation of our educational institutions by describing them as generating "lefties", "communists", "Marxists", and other buzz words that gin up conservative hatred and fear.
The USPS could build out the necessary infrastructure and at a lower cost than Fedex and UPS, if the GOP would just stop trying to kill them off. And let's be honest, it's Fedex and UPS lobbyists providing the incentive to pass crap legislation like this. Their entire drive is to hamstring the USPS, because they can't compete long term against a non-profit government agency like that unless they can buy legislation forces the USPS prices up and limits the services that can be provided.
I despise self-checkout. Amazon basically ensured I'll be avoiding Whole Foods from now on. That, and the cheapening of the inventory is creating a business opportunity for the kind of company that Whole Foods used to be, correcting the mistakes that Whole Foods made along the way.

Oh, haven't you heard? We're going to harvest the methane coming from Citrus Caligula's mouth...
Yes, but do they have the balls?
^^^ This. Amen.
Just don't expect a troll to respect facts.
Great idea.
You first.
And with that out of the way, here's the solution:
Close the income inequality gap.
There. All fixed. You're welcome.

Right back atcha. Wow.
You need an absurd number of carbon-capture-factories built in a couple decades. That's not cheap.
I've got a bag of seeds that says you're wrong.
You're trying to use logic with a resident of BullShit Mountain. Good luck with that.
