Your idea of "Free" isn't the same as mine. Freedom was bought by the eternal vigilance against tyranny. Just because it hasn't cost you anything, doesn't mean it was free. Someone paid a heavy price.
It was the "two-for" special in the GP post. Both Racist and Russian Dismissal. The only problem is, he didn't go for the trifecta. Therefore he failed in his mission. But here, I'll help him, by simply assuming his gender.;)
Well, it is easy. If you're a Democrat, anyone who disagrees with you automatically because a "Russian Troll" and you can dismiss them. Probably already on this thread even.
I'm pretty sure a lot of people won't accept my ethical values. They might agree with some, and not others. I can assure you that my ethics and morals are relatively tame, but none the less, I'm pretty sure many wouldn't want me teaching my version of ethics to young adults.
It is much easier to scream about Racism, Sexism, Homophobia, Bigotry than it is to form a coherent code of ethics that has deliberative rational thought behind it (even if you disagree with my rationale).
The issue remains whose ethics are we talking about? I'm sure that plenty of people thought Nazism was ethical, or thinking socialism is ethical today. I happen to despise leftist ethics, because they are almost universally opposed to individual liberty in some degree. Lefitsts think they are ethical as they groupthink their way towards tyranny.
He doesn't realize that the "authoritarian" government he hates (at the moment) is exactly the same as the one he loved just a couple years ago. He is a fan of authoritarian governments, as long as it is his guy, and not the other guy that will be gone in 2 or 6 years from now.
Liberals who's only experience with kids is taking their underage girlfriends to Planned Parenthood aren't familiar with cultural norms of two parent families. So Pence does seem "weird" to them.
Him being fired for not telling management about automating the process sounds like not telling management was the smarter of the options. It is clear he worked for PHB of Dilbert Fame. He was fired after a week of automating the process, which means he wasn't really hiding it either.
Proper management would have called him in, said their peace, and offered to let him automate as much as he could, and to keep management informed. You don't fire people for not telling someone. You fire them for gross misconduct.
If you're in management, your job is to maximize the efficiencies of your workplace. If I were management, I would have looked at that as the gift horse it was. Find good people, and make their work meaningful and reward them for a job well done. This kind of Ticky-Tack bullshit is why most management is set up for failure.
Non-binary people can't fathom a world where the "Us vs Them" extremist thinking is bad. Therefore, if you don't care about PC language, and cowering before the LGBT Crowd's demands, you MUST BE A NAZI!!!!!!!
This isn't about Linus being a Nazi, because I don't even think he is, but when that is HIS fears(being called a Nazi), because he doesn't retreat at being labeled a "white cis male", that is really telling to where we are as a society. And only a few of us find this to be actually frightening?
I don't care what people are, really. I just don't want to be told what I must do, what I must say, especially when it is being backed by the full power of government. This is nothing more than Nazi like bully tactics. People should take a long look at how Nazi's actually worked. The Political Correct Left is more like Nazis than anything.
The only way to maintain privacy is to withdraw to a cave in the middle of nowhere, and hope that nobody finds you. The only thing we can do is manage the illusion of privacy.

Which is exactly what we predicted when congress passed ObamaCare, requiring full time employees be covered. Well, now we have a bunch of professions that no longer work full time, simply because idiots can't figure out how their stupid ideas would be handled by businesses.
And don't go on a rant about how amoral businesses are, unless you're equally ranting about how immoral socialist policies are that cause these problems in the first place. Using government guns to threaten the populace to comply with the desire to take from people for no reason other than "fairness" (subjective) is immoral.
Amoral is still better than immoral, all day long.
We rarely hold people with power accountable. Instead, decisions are made in committee and by a series of processes that obfuscate and remove culpability of decisions from those that are authorizing it.
Lets say to do Action A, it requires approval by several committees or individuals. We'll keep it simple.
Committee 1 votes to do Action A (sounds like a good idea) Person 1 checks to see if Action A(b) violates some metric (it doesn't) Person 2 checks to see if Action A(c) passes certain functional tests. (it does) Person 3 verifies results of tests A(b) and A(c) (it does) Committee 2 finalizes approval of Action A
Action A causes massive death due to Action A doing something nobody checked for. There is no person responsible for this, it was just a bad "accident". However, looking back, Action A was a bad idea from the start, but it passed all the tests. Nobody is responsible.
Hillary can say with clear conscience that her signature on Uranium One deal was only one of 17 required, it isn't her fault. Even though the sale of Uranium to the Russians was stupid idea, no one person can be blamed. No accountability. The buck stops in committee.
People like you aren't a big enough of a market to drive "Flagship" smart phones. You're the bottom trailing edge of people who would do well with a flip phone. There is a relatively large selection on Amazon, for under $100 (US). Most, if not all, have the headset jack, and long battery life. After all, "Its a phone" until you want something more, like a pocket computer with data.
I just don't see the issue. People just want to bitch.
Remember all the people who said they'd only buy a phone with a Physical Keyboard "I want a physical keyboard!" They are still around, but don't use a phone with a Physical Keyboard.
It is like that. People want what they want, but settle for things they'd rather have (battery life, thinner size, bigger screens...)

so, only failed socialists like Bernie can run for office? Wow that is awesome idea.

Freedom was never free. Everything has a price.
The price for liberty is quite messy and often uncontrollable. That is part of what freedom means.
On the other hand, if you like order, then suck up and welcome your new Fascist overlords. But at least the trains run on time huh?
I can't wait till some hacker figures out how weak it actually is, and exploits the shit out of it to download celebrity porn.
Nothing.
Climate change will make it so humans require less clothing.
If the republicans are perpetual victims of such bias from everyone- how do they have the current president and hold both houses?
In spite of it?
It shows how weak the "Racist, Sexist, Bigot, Homophobic ..." chanting actually is.
It shows how lame the Democrats are. Pelosi is their leader? REALLY?
It shows enough people don't believe the crap they are all are spewing.
Could you imagine what the democrat party would be like without their mouthpieces, stand ins, surrogates and lap dogs spewing daily propaganda?
People who have been in IT long enough, don't build a proof of concept without planning on that becoming live.
All of my test systems are built to go live, from the beginning.
Thank you for not being a grammar Nazi. :-)
There can be global rules for ethics, the question is, is mandating them ethical? :-D

Used a burner phone. Catch them if you can.
And how much in financial restitution do you think you're gonna get from someone who lives in their mom's basement and plays Video games for a living?

I use my ID maybe five or six times a year.
Excellent point proving people don't have ID! Nicely Done!

Ever deal with a retard that thinks himself a genius? Sometimes being offensive is the only way to blow past the idiocy efficiently.
