Pro tip: The Russians have been trying to influence elections since 1918 and even before. I'd love to see everyone gets this upset over illegal aliens voting ("THERE'S NO EVIDENCE OF THAT, YOU RIGHT-WING TRUMPIST TROLL!" Touche', There's no evidence Russia had a meaningful effect on the elections either). It all depends on whose side you're on
... And the only solution is for Americans to freeze to death in the dark on public transit on their way to the tax offices to hand over their wealth for redistribution!
I get so sick of hearing everyone complain about teachers being underpaid and mistreated. The problem lies with topheavy administration. I also work for a major computer manufacturer traveling around the state and I see from the inside the amount of money wasted on equipment.
My cousin is a teacher and my daughter used to be one. I'm sympathetic to the problems they face. But the average teacher makes a hell of a lot more than I do. If we as a state want to pay them more, then there's plenty of fat to trim at the school district offices (I had a supposed IT admin at one ask me what a RAM module was-- a sweet, very attractive woman, but not suited to her position). You don't need to raise my taxes to do it.
Before you get all up in arms, if you're a teacher, I can pretty much guarantee you have you own stories about clueless administrators.
Count me as one of the people who *like* IBM. I was on board the OS/2 train for years until the company so badly mismanaged & mishandled it that they effectively surrendered to Microsoft. The software engineers at the company are top notch. I can only hope that upper management has learned a few lessons in the past twenty years.
He was told multiple times to put his hands above his head. If he'd simply done that that he wouldn't've been killed. Instead, he reached for his waist. You, Mr Cute Little Consescending Non-American Foreign Person, need to put yourself in the shoes of the officers who had to make a decision in a fraction of a second: Be shot, or shoot first? There wasn't *time* to think.
I *live* in Wichita. I love and respect the police, who often have an impossible job
If the social media networks were really worried about foreign meddling, they'd be more concerned about illegal aliens voting, not this nonexistent Russia crap
Luke was completely out of character; even Mark Hamill has said so. Rey is the biggest Mary Sue since the term was invented. Because, *diversity*, or something. Go woke, go broke. At least I pirated it, and didn't pay to see it
Few people know about it, but the best Star Trek since Star Trek is ST:Continues. It perfectly captures the look and feel of TOS & is a damn sight better than just about anything I've ever seen. The first episode "Pilgrim of Eternity" especially is a proverbial home run out of the park.
Yeah, but Roddenberry wouldn't even recognize liberalism today. Re-segregation, white male hatred/discrimination, a culture of victimhood, the demonization of masculinity, etc.
And me with no mod points. Liberalism in Roddenberry's time was *reasonable* instead of radical. The worst mistake Star Trek ever made was to start thinking it was Star Trek. Also, it hasn't been science fiction since then either. I'm sorry but after being disappointed time after time, I will be very surprised if Discovery turns out to be any good.
It's funny to see people here reminiscing about the 90s. I reminisce about that decade too, but the fondest memories I have are of my Sinclair ZX-81, and CoCo 2, and TRS-80 Model III, back in the 80s.

The demand for racism far exceeds the supply. It's made-up clickbait
Mod +1 Inishgtful
Made in 1993. Dirty, but still works great, and useful for stopping bullets or clubbing an intruder over the head
Like ads in theatres. This is why I already have every note by every artist I ever wanted to listen to stored locally on my own hard drives

...full of incorrect information and constantly asking for money.
What he said. The site is good for hard science & factual stuff, but very poor in other areas
That's some strange reasoning, when makeup and beauty products themselves are an attempt to deceive...
No. A lack of common sense is. Eventually you run out of other peoples' money
I live in Kansas.

Pile of shit. FTFY
This is so hilarious
So, women.... Is it Grrrrl Power or victimhood? Pick one; you can't have both. Choose carefully

+1. When the focus becomes preaching an agenda, instead of telling good stories, then it'll fail.
How about starting to fight back in a serious way? They are at war with us. It's time we realized that

Don't take the pictures, and stop sending them to every man. FTFY
Is not entirely hinged
ST Continues was very well made, and most importantly, well-acted. It's now dead because of this crap
