I can't tell if you are serious. There were no Arabs in Egypt when the pyramids were built. Or maybe you don't know what an Arab is, or what the difference between Arabs and Egyptians is. Do you think Hittites are Arabs too?
Today I was in a meeting were some IT managers were discussing how they have been trying to hire React developers for 6 months unsuccessfully. Basically they've decided that they need to just hire any warm body that has React on their resume. So yeah...
I wonder what it is like when the director of the NSA and the FBI get together. Does the director of the FBI just lay into the director of the NSA for creating this "problem" or does he just give him the evil eye.
Unless you are a teenager, please don't use the slang "throwing shade". It just makes you sound like a old person, desperately trying to appear cool by talking like a teenager.
I don't know what I'd do there, but I'd be all for moving to the moon as long as I can go outside and bounce around on the surface every once in awhile while giving the finger to the Earth.
People don't remember the anti-Trump protests, or even if they remember them, they never think about them or bring the remembrance to the forefront of their brains. People have lives, jobs, kids, hobbies, etc. They were not exceptional enough for anyone to think about even a few days after they occurred. The fact that you think that they were so exceptional that people still remember them says a lot about the bubble you live in.
What is the point of "demonstrat[ing] that the other narrative is false"? Those who believed it was false already believed it before the protests. Those who didn't believe it still didn't believe it after the protests. It had not affect then and still has not affect today. It was a useless gesture that solved nothing and improved nothing.
Just think, if all the people who participated in the protests took the money they would have spent traveling to the protest area, spent on housing, would have earned at a job during that time, etc. And gave it to a non-profit or some other organization opposed to Trump - that would have been huge and made a real lasting impact. Money talks and that would have been far louder than any group of people shouting.
Not only protests. Now when I read something in a forum that is divisive I think, "Russian Troll Farm for sure". How would anyone prove that they really aren't working for a Russian Troll Farm?
I've always wondered what the point of protests are. Unless something dramatic happens (e.g., someone getting killed), no one remembers the protest a week later. Its as if it never happened. If the point of protests is to get people on their side, that often backfires. Where I live there were a lot of protests after Trump was elected. They would block roads and highways at rush hour which made everyone's commutes longer. That didn't exactly engender sympathy towards their cause. If that point is to get the powers that be to change their mind - that is incredibly naive. Only money/lobbyists and possibly a threat to their reelection can do that.
But, now I have my answer! Like so many things in life, the answer is to follow the money. The Russians were funding the protests. It all makes sense now.
When I go to the movie theater, as soon as the movie ends (and sometimes while the movie is playing Grrrrr) people are pulling out their cell phones. I can't wait till the darkened theater starts lighting up with the people's phones lighting up their face so they can log in.
Being Slashdot, I didn't read the article. I go to the movie theater to watch movies so I assume I am a real moviegoer. But, I do care about rotten tomatoes. I see almost every movie that scores above 90 on rotten tomatoes. Any movie that scores below 90 that I'm interested in I watch on my laptop after it's released.
It may be socially acceptable to get a tattoo, watch porn, and smoke weed (at least where I live all of those things are socially acceptable and legal), but that doesn't necessarily mean I want my Mom knowing those things about me.
But legal and socially acceptable is different than, say, Mom acceptable. It may be socially acceptable to get a tattoo, watch porn, and smoke weed (at least where I live all of those things are socially acceptable and legal), but that doesn't necessarily mean I want my Mom knowing those things about me.
"If you can't explain it to a six year old, you don't understand it yourself." - Albert Einstein
I have found this to be true in my life. Sometimes I think I understand something, but when I try to explain it in a way a child (or even teenager) can understand it I find that I really don't understand it as well as I thought I did. If I then go back and study it further and really try to understand it myself I find that eventually I understand it well enough that I am able to explain it in terms that are comprehensible at most age levels. This often means using analogies and simplifying to the level of the listener, but it is doable if I understand the topic well enough. I suspect the problem with wikipedia is that authors of the articles understand the material just enough to write an article, but not well enough to write it so it is accessible by a lay person (say an 8th grade reading level).
But even if prostitution was legal and socially acceptable, don't you still think there would be prostitutes that would want to keep their day job hidden from family members or others?
This reminds me of a sci-fi story where the NSA somehow created a code module sometime in the past that has made its way into every anti-virus software (lot of hand waving here). The idea being that most computers have anti-virus software running and the anti-virus software won't be looking at itself (who is watching the watchers?) This allows the NSA to make every computer a part of a giant botnet, basically a global super-computer using the free CPU cycles of billions of computers. They aren't using the computers to spy on individual computer users as much as using that raw computing power to ask questions and get answers. At some point I think the giant botnet becomes self-aware.

Duh. Of course the pirate TV services are preferred, they don't have commercials.

"Especially since retaliation with nukes essentially destroys both sides."
How many nukes (and missles to carry them) could North Korea have? Surely not enough to destroy (or even decimate) the entire US.
I don't know what I'd do there, but I'd be all for moving to the moon as long as I can go outside and bounce around on the surface every once in awhile while giving the finger to the Earth.
No wonder people keep saying I'm crazy.

molon labe? Did you misspell something? Moron labia? Melon label? Melon lab?

So... it's unlikely that anyone will unseat Amazon.
We could start a gofundme for them!
Just offer the same things as Amazon at the same price with 2 day shipping and not yearly Prime membership.
