Though I'm sure the majority of people on here (and gizmodo) will believe that stupid excuse anyway. When has FB ever given a crap about 'conservative backlash' or conservatives in general? Zuckerberg is another slimy liberal anti-capitalist billionaire (money he acquired via the capitalism he hates) that wants to blame conservatives for everything he doesn't agree with. Now that the US has seen through the liberal bullshit and voted that corruptocrat Clinton out of politics, Zuck's got his panties in a twist and is throwing a tantrum.
What are FACTS for some people (ie Democrats and Liberals) are utter bullshit for others. Like Slick Willie said 'it depends on what your definition of is is'.
Besides, if you build that in, you remove one more way for people to use their little gray cells and generate proper critical thinking skills. Then again, after what's up here in America with a blatant corrupt criminal possibly elected president, it's obvious critical thinking no longer exists.
that said Florida would be under water by now? That we'd have no snow by 2015. That hurricanes would increase in intensity AND NUMBER?
Yeah, I believe them this time.
Look, speaking as someone who managed petabytes of data for NOAA and the NWS, the climatologists there all said basically the same thing. We have 160 years or so of weather data and even less of climate data. The planet is 4 BILLION years old. We don't have enough data to make any real judgments.
I'm not a climate change denier, but I'm also not listening to this 'sky is falling' bullshit either. Democrats have admitted this is just a money making scheme. The fear mongering isn't helping at all. Is it possible man is affecting the climate? Sure. But as the above predictions have shown, none of these extrapolations are useful. I'm all for doing what we can to limit our impact on the environment, but this type of bullshit reporting has to stop.
Quite possibly the most ridiculous group of people on the planet. Celebrate free speech only if it's what they agree with. Want 'open' markets except when it fosters competition. Hates the Death Penalty, is pro-choice. Amazingly idiotic ideology to go with amazingly idiotic people. And you WONDER why America is such a joke now. Democrats will turn the US into a national Detroit. Or Chicago. Or Baltimore.
Are you people SERIOUS? Well, if you needed proof that liberalism is a mental illness, here you go.
I swear, these liberal twats are TOO funny. They can't help themselves be anything but OUTRAGED about everything that they disagree with. So, now conservatism itself is a 'hate group'? Why? Because we respect the law (and law enforcement)? Expect people to get off their asses and work for their next meal? Respect other people's opinion whether we disagree with it or not? Expect to not be taxed to death to prop up people too lazy to work their asses off like the rest of us? I mean, my god that's just a HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE ideology, is it not?
I am bloody disgusted with whiny asses that feign outrage when someone disagrees with them. Liberals spend their lives finding shit to be offended over, and when they DO find something they brand supporters of that as some sort of -ist (racist, sexist, fascist, whatever). As if name calling will make it all better.
Liberals want everyone to think and act like them and if not you're reviled, outcast, made out to be the next Hitler (re: Trump). Who else could be called a racist for wanting to ENFORCE FEDERAL IMMIGRATION LAW? (And by, Mexican/Hispanic/Latino IS NOT A RACE you ignoramuses.) Who else could be called a sexist/misogynist for comments made over a decade ago by liberals, but who also defend an ACTUAL sexual assaulter in Bill Clinton?
Who else wants sodas banned because kids are fat, but also ban freeze tag, et. al. because kids might get hurt? Who else calls spanking child abuse, then berates the teacher when their little cretins assault them? Who else says Capital Punishment is inhumane, but supports abortion?
This list goes on and on. But let's not let Pepe the frog become a hate symbol.
You all want to know why we're fucked eight ways from Sunday in this country? Because fucking liberals are doing their god-damnedest to destroy it. The American flag is a hate symbol to them. The Republicans as well. Whites and their privilege. Words are the worst of all.
You want to know why we're where we are now? One word. Liberals. Not conservatives. Period.
You continue to vote for these same liberal twatwaffles, you get precisely what you deserve. If you cretins don't get the fact that the Democrats only give a flying fuck about themselves by now, you never will.
These idiots in Congress just don't get it. ESPECIALLY the damn Democrats. Most idiotic political party on earth just keeps proving it with shit like this. It's a damn shame most of America just blindly vote these assclowns in time after time.
I mean, Microsoft has released nothing but utter shit in the last decade (Windows 7 notwithstanding). But, just like Ford to keep beating that dead horse all the while touting SYNC as the greatest thing since sliced bread.
Personally, I won't buy anything but Subarus now anyway.
Look, I'm in IT. I work with computing systems and stare at screens all day. I read a lot of stuff online. But, I also have over 5K books in my personal library. For me, it's not so much the feel of having a book in my hand as it is the smell of books. There's just something about that that you don't get staring at a display. I'm also one of those people who can't see paying $7 for something I can't hold. It's sort of like blowing cash on Candy Crush Saga. What are you really getting when you buy an ebook? Yes, the author's hard work, but it's the tangibility thing.
Not to mention, who's gonna spend millions on a first edition Ebook?:)
A SILICON VALLEY jury. Keep that in mind when reading this. The original $450m award that is being retried was also awarded by a Silicon Valley jury, IIRC. But, don't expect Samsung to get any help from that moron in the White House, He's allowed Apple to lobby him for blocking the sale/import of Samsung products and didn't (and won't) enforce the same conditions on Apple.
Geez, I wonder what that makes me. When I saw that the Apple II DOS source was available my first thought was 'There was a Denial of Service attack for the Apple II?'.
Then I thought, 'You moron, it's Disk Operating System'.
Seriously? You really think 4 deaths because of the WH not doing it's job is a 'conspiracy theory'? You think if it was YOUR family murdered by Islamic terrorists that you'd call it a conspiracy theory? You, my friend, are the reason why this country is so screwed. You think the important things are trivial while you rant and rave about how 'outrageous' it is that the Redskins name is still being used.
Get your priorities straight before you start frothing at the mouth about conspiracy theories. Moron.
CA being hardcore liberal Democrat would do its damnedest to point out the evil conservatives 'dark money' network, while saying JACK SQUAT about the Democrats and their behind the scenes money making. This is what is killing America, the bias of 'journalists' and the political machinery in government that is determined to stay in power at all costs.
It's funny and frightening how the America is paralleling the Late Roman Empire in it's political maneuvering, graft, corruption and spin doctoring. I am amazed at how idiotically short sighted we are here in America. The old 'it can't happen to us' mindset is a true killer.
Nothing worse than poor statistics to make people think whatever it is the government wants us to think. Heart attacks are not the #1 killer in the US. Come on people, DEATH is the #1 killer in the US.
Is Obama really THAT stupid? I mean seriously. He's continued to prove that he's clueless about virtually everything (except maybe golf). He only became president to en joy the perks of the job without the actual work involved. And you wonder why we're screwed eight ways from Sunday.
...I mean why bother with actually providing consequences for bad behaviour in real life? Let's forgo any effort to discipline people in the real world and teach them proper responsibility in a virtual one. What idiocy. I swear, I'm sick and tired of morons doing everything they can to properly avoid parenting. And that's really what this is about. It's that pathetic liberal attempt to parent kids in lieu of the actual parents being made to do so. And we all know it.
They weren't overloaded, as is typical with ANY government project, it was half-baked, over-budget (with most going to incompetent pockets), and downright poorly implemented. My dead grandmother can do better than this government can at implementing a decent solution.
Not to mention the regs are, what, 20K pages long? Who the hell can properly implement that? Bloody idiots.
This is just more proof that America has lost its collective mind. When did personal RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY become anathema? Seriously, this is just a bloody joke. Why not just say the person texting and driving was a victim not only of the TEXTER but also the Telecom who passed the text along. Shouldn't they also be liable in this case on this basis? Everyone in America is a victim nowadays.
I've had 6 surgeries due to RA in the last 4 years. I should probably sue my parents for passing on bad genes. When will this stupidity end?
Are we still on this ridiculous crap? Has anyone EVER heard of an interglacial? That's what we're in. We have more long term data to support the increase in temperatures due to the fact we're smack dab in the middle of ice ages that coincides with increased solar activity than 'climate change' due to man's stupidity. Don't get me wrong, I'm a firm believer in mankind being as completely stupid as self-aware beings can be (I mean Obama's dumb ass got voted back in), but I'm a bigger believer in the planet being way more resilient in change than for it to succumb to a couple centuries of us screwing with it.
Has no one here read Peter F. Hamilton? Personally, the Night's Dawn Trilogy is a pretty good indicator of space combat. (Maybe minus the voidhawks.) Fusion powered nuclear missles with multiple warheads along with electronic warfare pods fired over a broad area to disrupt space as much as possible. Although a direct hit would be nice, it's virtually a total defensive fight. Each one trying not to get hit by flooding the area with junk to hide from the guidance systems. The combat would be over in minutes, it wouldn't be one prolonged battle.
(And I would REALLY love to have a Blackhawk, but that's just me.)
Our fearless leader appoints an utterly incompetent and corrupt person to lead the most critical part of our infrastructure in this country. Geez. I've never been more ashamed not only to be an American, but also to be in IT. I can't wait for Obama's one term to be up, he's himself very much correct when he said in 2005 that he wasn't capable of doing the job.
Do ANY of you really believe that? $18 BILLION? I would trust what ATT says any farther than I can throw them. Their network is crap. Their customer service is crap. I'd be willing to bet even without all the damned iPhones their network would still suck. Wanna know why? Because THEY CAN. They (and every other American carrier) can and will spend as little as possible to make our experiences better because we here in America LET THEM. We don't shove the bastards in Washington out of office who ATT have bought. We don't rise up and smite the sons of bitches every time they jack up our rates and we get nothing in return.
Sadly, we deserve every bit of the shitty service and crappy experiences we get. Obviously not enough of us in America give a big enough crap to change it. So why bother crying about it you lazy bastards?

I can't wait.
And that's why I haven't enabled fingerprint unlocking. If I can only use my passcode, they can go fuck themselves.
She ran Reddit into the ground by making it a hotbed of liberal idiocy and now she's trying to fuck up Silicon Valley.
This country is a joke.
