You're right about that, I have no understanding of why a narcissistic, bigoted, women-harassing reality TV star who can't keep his own story straight and questions the "truth" got elected. Strange isn't it?
With that reasoning, it's safe to guess that Obama was elected because racism, in favor of more wars, and illegal non-judicial killings, and running guns used in terrorist attacks. Oh, I'll agree that Trump is narcissistic it's pretty much a requirement to be a CEO, or politician, but you don't seem to have a problem with that in general. Otherwise you wouldn't be making political posts and cheering for a favorite. Bigoted? No, facts don't make you bigoted. It's only in leftwing progressive land, that when you make a statement that's true it's bigoted. Also racist. I'll also bet you'd agree that the WAPO "fact check" on Trump's tweet about South Africa was 100% accurate. Useful tip: It wasn't. Unless of course you're saying that AP, Reuters, BBC, Newsweek, and so on are all suddenly white-supremacist outlets. Women-harassing? You're talking about someone letting you do something because they want something from you. Oh boy. So how's that congressional sexual harassment fund looking these days. You know the one that all democrats voted against opening to the public. Reality TV star sure, you also forgot multi-billionaire with his own international brand. So far Trump's "truth" is far more on key then your last 2 presidents, 3 presidents if you want to really get into it.
So yep, you're either politically isolated, or politically ignorant. Need some more help?
Yeah people have been saying that since the election, "I don't agree with Pence on nearly anything, but he'd be preferable to this reality TV joke"
For a "reality TV joke" he seems to have accomplished more then the previous administration in under 2 years, while not waffling all over the place being led by opinion polls. Call if whatever you want, but there's a reason why he won. It's the same reason why Doug Ford now runs Ontario(Canada), and why Maxime Bernier left the CPC to form his own party.
Pence is the lesser of two evils. Like Dubya, democrats may not like him much but almost anyone is more honest, less narcissistic and less corrupt than Trump.
Really? So you're saying that Trump is surpassing the corruption of the Obama administration. Can you point me to the part where Trump is using letter agencies to spy on reporters, illegally seize their phone, email, and letter mail. And had a direct hand in using the IRS to go after political opponents. Let's be honest here, if you didn't know a damned thing about what I just said you're politically ignorant of what happened prior to Trump and have no understanding of why he was elected.
Well Washington lead a terrorist army against the sovereign nation and then became president of all the land.
Remember the part where they went as far as petitioning the crown, and were rebuffed repeatedly? This was of course proceeded by the crown attempting to disarm everyone, even though having a firearm was one of the few ways to ensure your safety.
You don't have much of a perspective of what would constitute treason in 1770, do you?
Far better then you apparently. After all, we're talking about national security here. That means people who were in charge of information "of the government" and using it for their own personal ends. None of those people you mentioned did that.
So when did those 3 leak items of national security, for the purposes of furthering their own agenda? We've already got a pretty clear case on the people I named. And I didn't even toss in Holder, though I should have. It's amazing how people are so suddenly worried on this, when they ignored more egregious abuses in the past.
So you're okay giving one group of jerks money. But not another? Well whatever. More competition is good isn't it? Especially since amazon holds a dominant marketshare and making it damned hard for even those traditional book retailers to survive. This isn't forgetting the gigantic amount of pricefixing from companies like Apple.
Anyway, if you want another e-reader at a good price, I recommend looking at Kobo. Upside is that many of them can also be reflashed, or you can simply pop out the microSD card, and load up your own preferred version of android without really having to jailbreak them.
Good luck with that. Because when organizations like the SPJ(society for professional journalists) got involved during Gamergate and pointed out these exact issues. The gaming press rallied their wagons around each other and started screeching "we're not journalists, we're bloggers." In many cases, just the week before sites like Kotaku, Polygon, RPS, and other ilk were stating proudly that they were journalists. It of course doesn't help that those same sites and their ilk have pissed off developers by leaking plots, preview only information, games, helped to feed copies to the front-end pirates(i.e. the people who initially crack the games), getting "morally outraged" and then virtue signaling about how xyz thing isn't diverse enough and so on. Simply showing that they don't really care for artistic freedom(remember save the boob plate? where journos and the morally offended got upset because tits), or what the developers, artists even want. Just whatever agenda they can push.
Straight up? If you're a developer your best chance at getting notice is to contact twitch and youtube streamers. Cut the gaming press right out and let them die.
Yeah, it's getting so you can't even call for a simple race war any more! What is the world coming to.
Just think! When you point out that people who believe cutting off the clitoris of little girls and sanction it under islam it's some bad shit. Or try to point out that muslims have argued that because islam accepts rape against non-believers, it's okay to do it too. You're igniting a race war! Boy, those are just the type of comments we need to restrict, that absolutely won't make those "far right crazies look right when we censor this."
Just think even harder, at the delusion that you believe a religion is now a race.
They are now trying to blame the EU (which gave them money for infrastructure sanitation) for the whole ugly mess.
Considering how deeply the EU have had their fingers in Italy and Greece to the point where people nearly revolted, this type of response shouldn't be a surprise. It may even been warranted considering how the previous government acted as lapdogs for the EU and ignored their own citizens.
The stories are here on/. if you really want to read them. There were plenty of them back a few years ago, and I seem to remember them being trendy 2010? 2011? or around there too. Back when governments, and various people believed that facebook and so on would be the wave of the future and everything will be tied to it.
Remember when people, psychologists, media, government bodies, and so on all over the west were saying that if you don't have a "facebook or social media account" you're a psychopath, rapist, murderer in training, terrorist-wannabe and so on? Yeah...not so crazy now for saying fuck you to it.
"My own universities?" There's no German universities in my country.
Made a point, and you fully missed it. Are you saying that German universities aren't a part of Europe?
People may not be apolitical, but institutions can. It's actually codified in our law, at least to the extent that political organizations are banned from universities. That doesn't of course prevent students from organizing outside universities, or participating in politics, but universities pushing for political positions would likely get in deep shit.
Uh-huh. And in Canada, universities are codified by educational charter to be places of higher learning. That of course doesn't make it true.
OK, start digging, then?
By all means, let me know when you find the repeated times that Germaine Greer was deplatformed multiple times, from multiple universities, in multiple european countries.
Well trying to see if $100k works out to $100k wage doesn't really work well in most places. In Canada for instance if you're working for a regular company(i.e. 9-5) you're looking at 43% of that going directly gone in taxes. As a O/O it's around 23% because you can incorporate.
Why still using utorrent? Because I've yet to find a client that easily handle RSS feeds on Windows.
And qbtorrent handles RSS feeds with no problems and just in the same way as utorrent? So, how is it not the better option when it comes in at half the memory usage.
To make you butthurt. I even use the latest version with all the ads.
Wait, it makes me butthurt because you're making a bad decision? Okay. So when you make a smart decision then I guess that means I'm also responsible? Living rent free in your head too, I guess.
Remember the Pinatubo eruption? Wasn't that long ago, back just in the early 90's. I remember it well. Most of the summer was 14-18C(normal highs are 22-31C), and all it did was rain or be overcast. Millions of dollars in crops were destroyed or lost, tens of thousands of farmers went under. That was just in my little neck of the woods in southern ontario. I mean I remember it getting so cold we had to break out comforters at night in July and August, 4-8C at night. Hell there were still parts of the forest near where I lived at the time that still had snow on the ground the first week of august too. Just think how bad people had it with the year without a summer in 1816.
Because UK is a crazyland, just like the US. Fortunately I don't have to suffer living in either, and I was most not certainly having UK in mind when I wrote "in large parts of Europe". Hell, the UK isn't apparently even considered Europe by many Brits.
Do I really need to start pulling articles from german and french dailies to make a point, or do you want to save yourself the trouble and start looking on your own? You can try the "UK isn't part of Europe" all you want, but that's like saying Quebec isn't part of North America.
As I said, luckily we don't have this problem. Hell, your fictional scenarios look ridiculous from where I stand.
Fictional scenarios? You're doing more to prove that you don't understand what's going on in your own backyard, let alone what's going on in your own universities. Pick your poison of speakers: political correctness, Israel, deportation of illegals. Those are all cases from Germany in the last 6 months where speakers have been deplatformed.
Of course, that's a major part of their purpose. Why would I fail to see that?
In the part where you believe that universities are apolitical, they're not.
And around here, they stopped doing that in 1989.
Yes that's right. Because once the media stops reporting on it, it doesn't exist anymore. Never mind that you can find the stories if you dig hard enough.
Schneider is offering 80k flat+mileage in team driving right now, with a 35k signing bonus. Single haul they're offering $68k+mileage with $20k signing, those aren't outside the norms for the biggest hauler out there right now. Those are still with their trucks, and offering more if you're an O/O.
They are offering training, and many of the reputable truck schools in the US and Canada are offering with the insurance companies blessings that 1yr "good driving record" automatically now. Hunt, Landstar, TH, Verspeeten, Overland, Schneider and dozens of others are all offering training on hire, or 100% reimbursement of truck driving school. Meaning you can be hired on, get the loan from a bank for the cost. And once you pass your in-company cert they'll pay you the entire loan amount for driver training.
Both. It fully depends on "how much work" you want to put into it. O/O's are an interesting breed because if you have specific other tags, you can haul more dangerous stuff. But on the other hand, you can take dozens of small jobs a week and live comfortably. You're right that there's costs, but keep in mind that companies are absolutely desperate for drivers. I think it was JB Hunt offering 40% off fuel. Not to be out done, another company was offering "100% mileage + dock time" coverage, that means if your ass is stuck sitting in a dock for 8 hours, they're paying you for it and the miles you would have been rolling. Remember that the clock is always ticking, and depending on the state/province, some only allow a maximum of 12hrs on the road. Those 8 hrs eat into that.
As for how it stacks up? That depends, if you're an O/O you can write off significant amounts of your costs as it counts as a small business.

Yeah people have been saying that since the election, "I don't agree with Pence on nearly anything, but he'd be preferable to this reality TV joke"

Just like Comey, Clapper, Brennen, Hillary too.
Here's also hoping for a pardon for her from the "Orange Orangutan's" successor.
So you're all in for Mike Pence? Good to know. I can already see the memes spreading from this brilliant decision by progressives.
Look pal. Have you gotten permission from CNN to look at the wikileaks on this? After all only journalists are allowed to do that.
So you're okay giving one group of jerks money. But not another? Well whatever. More competition is good isn't it? Especially since amazon holds a dominant marketshare and making it damned hard for even those traditional book retailers to survive. This isn't forgetting the gigantic amount of pricefixing from companies like Apple.
