Chill out dudes. Trump won. Enjoy! Go the beach. Have a few beers. Drive around chanting "TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP!" Just don't forget your "Not a manatee - a Trump supporter making America great again!" laminated poster.
And your MAGA cap. Skin cancer and sun strokes are a REAL thing, whether you believe in science or not. We wouldn't want you to get any of those and be forced to use any of that nasty Obama's care now would we?
I'm looking at that page and thinking "What am I supposed to be looking at here"?
My mistake was clicking the link without reading the full post of that Anonymous Coward. I.e. Without reading the "rather than being irrelevant pro-leftist political submissions. A submission like this shitty one is nowhere to be found." bit.
Apparently the AC above doesn't realize that the "Troll" issue is not just an integral part of Slashdot - it's a fucking moderation category. But I guess when all you have is a hate hard-on for "leftists" to get you through the day, all you see are leftist conspiracies.
Maybe it's was just the case of an unreported gathering of Trump supporters on a beach somewhere? Which then got misidentified as an increase of the manatee population.
I suppose that's why the jets aren't on his back; that's (hopefully) where the parachute will go.
I'm sure it will be great fun watching him trying to pull that cord with malfunctioning engines strapped to his arms. That is, if he's falling down on some other group of people, not the observer's.
Hopefully they will remember to program it so it doesn't bend your joints in ways they aren't naturally designed to...
Hopefully it all just explodes spectacularly without ever rising from the ground, killing the idiot... I mean the inventor. I really don't want idiots who believe that comic books are real to experiment flying above my head just because there are currently no laws or regulations preventing such idiots from doing so and because they posses time, money and mental illnesses which provide them the means for such experimentation.
Except the first logical thing for a signal loss by a drone is to try to autonomously regain the signal by climbing upward while moving backward towards the location of the last known good source of signal. I.e. Moving out of the range of "puppies". Which just happen to be illegal jamming devices.
Puppies keep barking... drone just videos the fucker and contacts the police. Autonomously.
Good thing for "puppy" owners and makers is that I'm fairly certain no one at Amazon thought of that, because I'm a lateral thinking genius kind of which comes along only once in 5 generations.
And still idiots try and try to moderate out the facts. Like I'm about to run out of copy/paste any time soon.
"'Verified' Is Now a Derogatory Term on Twitter... for rightards."
You know... Like liberal, feminist, socialist, immigrant, Muslim, Jew, black, literate, educated... and all other dog whistling insults that rightard cowards are using cause they don't have the balls to say what they really mean. Sad.
In 1981, former Republican Party strategist Lee Atwater, when giving an anonymous interview discussing the GOP's Southern Strategy (see also Lee Atwater on the Southern Strategy), said:[19][20]
You start out in 1954 by saying, "Ni99er, ni99er, ni99er." By 1968, you can't say "ni99er" - that hurts you. Backfires. So you say stuff like forced busing, states' rights and all that stuff. You're getting so abstract now [that] you're talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you're talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is [that] blacks get hurt worse than whites. And subconsciously maybe that is part of it. I'm not saying that. But I'm saying that if it is getting that abstract, and that coded, that we are doing away with the racial problem one way or the other. You follow me - because obviously sitting around saying, "We want to cut this," is much more abstract than even the busing thing, and a hell of a lot more abstract than "Ni99er, ni99er."

By now they should have learned that mod points are a fixed quantity. While I can never run out of copy/paste.
The so-called "regressive left" is excessively, stupidly tolerant - but that's still not regressive.
It's not a logical, rational definition, based on arguments or proofs of "regression". It's a code.
Regressive Left
The term was coined by British politician Maajid Nawaz as a label for those on the left who would jump at the chance to attack an idea or person for expressing an idea. Calling any challenge of Islamic beliefs as "Islamaphobia," in particular, is considered part and parcel with regressive lefties.
Agree with the sentiment or not, Nawaz presented his measured argument for the phrase reasonably and soberly. Naturally, all nuance has since been divorced from the term, and it is now indiscriminately used against any utterance of the left.

If you want insight into that abyss of delusions of grandeur and power built on deep set foundations of inferiority complex... you should listen to this episode of This American Life:
From claims like "We did it. We memed him into the presidency." to the idea of "meme magicians" - it's the crowd who are living the life of cognitive delusion where they are part of both the persecuted, yet jaded, minority and of powerful "king making" elite, doing it for the lulz.
I can see that side of the question, but in the end, if EPA can promulgate regulations without revealing the underlying data, we're accepting the argument, "Trust us, we're your government."
It's about little facts like exposing patient data, various privacy concerns, various patent laws and rules, copyright... In order to "release to the public... data used to support new regulations to protect human health and the environment" EPA would literally have to either be given godlike power to expose anything and anyone, regardless of laws, regulations or any kind of legal or physical protection... OR... much more likely, simply NOT create regulations anymore... regulations "to protect human health and the environment".
Right now they can simply CITE data used in their science, like with any other scientific study. Not release everything cited to public, or even be forced to replicate other people's science. I'm all for replicable science but this is not about science. It's about gagging the mouths and tying the hands of those who rely on science in order to "protect human health and the environment" by people who abhor science.
Never heard of him. Did he also get rich and famous quick with magic and computers? Well... OK... clearly he's not famous... Not like Jobs or Zuckerberg.
Well... that's... arguable. It was pre-Youtube and for all practical purposes even pre-Google. Or if you prefer it that way - pre 9/11.
But the main reason is that I simply never watched it. No Nickelodeon. Back then OR now. Plus... most western animation from that time was rather off-putting to me. AND I was just discovering anime back then.

Do note the complete "divorce" of the origin and actual meaning of the term from how it is used in this very thread.
Neither you nor the OP even mentioned religion.
It's a code now. And it means different, generalized, things to different people.
You know... like "states' rights", "cutting taxes", "busing", "birth certificates"...
There... as good as new.
While a pathetic poor little snowflake troll cries over wasted mod-points in mom's basement somewhere.
Sad.

I can see that side of the question, but in the end, if EPA can promulgate regulations without revealing the underlying data, we're accepting the argument, "Trust us, we're your government."
The issue is not about "Trust us, we're your government." strawman.
Raised by the clown crew of a government, with only 21 executive nominations confirmed (out of 553), multiple ongoing scandals, not the least of which is appointment of an anti-EPA loon as the head of the agency, who then promptly ignores science anyway.
Trust us, WE are your government indeed.
