Great! Now that we know your opinion is coming from an honest source, lets just move your online musings over to the facts column! Thanks for your small part in clarifying everybody's world view.
To this generation, anything vaguely hinting of duty and authority is immediately branded fascist.
Hey look! This guy is from the establishment and trying to control us with regulations and take our guns! Since he wants such a strong government he must be a Democrat!
Holy shit, you'll never believe this but your post changed my mind. Democrats looked at what they did and changed for the better! Thanks for making me re-evaluate my post, because looking at how a group behaved matters a lot today! An organization realized it made mistakes in the past, changed to correct them and has bettered themselves. The problem is it doesn't work in reverse: "Lincoln (R) freed the slaves so now (R) can do whatever the fuck we want" isn't doing anyone any good. In other words, (R) peaked in high school.
Good point, why even set goals at all? We landed people on the moon because all those scientists and engineers were afraid of getting thrown in jail if we didn't, right?
Holy shit! There were emails found on a computer?! Fuckin-A, every single one is undoubtedly a bombshell proving your conspiracy hyperbole and will finally be the irrefutable piece of evidence that sways everyone to your opinion....but the establishment won't show us cause its rigged and everyone who's ever had a stray negative thought about the Clintons has been caught by the thought police and beheaded which is why all of our rivers are running red with blood! Thank Jeebus for patriots like yourself who who love 'murica so much you want to destroy it and risked their life to remind a message board about more emails because the mainstream media makes you go to their websites to find out about it and they might have flash or an ad.
Seriously though, $100 to whoever can successfully distract me from any talk about emails for the next 2 weeks. Sorry AC, you're out of the running.
I'm an anarchist, a pacifist, I don't believe in Democracy, I don't vote, I want states to be allowed to secede (but I don't necessarily want to secede - I just want it to be allowed), and I want the same for counties, cities, and households.
Good for you. Isn't it great that you live in a nation that allows you to think and say all those things where the only consequence is a record (that you surely benefit from as much or more than google...think a couple bucks of ad targeting vs hiring a personal assistant) is kept on a system that you consciously and freely choose to continue using?
the Republican leadership failure, which began in 1981 with Reagan's takeover of the Conservative movement,
wtf!? When was this talking point memo - that invalidates every other talking point from the past 3 decades - circulated for dissemination on rightwing talk shows?
Geologic time scales? Pisshhh. If you weren't such a poser you'd go straight to universal time scales, where the earth averages out to a cloud of dust. So whats the big deal if a supervillian builds a planet vaporizing death ray? The atoms were there before, they'll be there after.
Hey thanks finally for pointing out the conspiracy theory in this story. I've already scrolled down 3/4 of the page and haven't seen any others yet! Come on/., we need to remind casual readers that the establishment is plotting to steal our precious bodily fluids!
What is new however, is that 25% of my keyboard interactions now involve autocomplete popping up and me selecting something with a mouse. Better hurry up and exploit this while you can...
Back in the day a story like this would spawn a few threads detailing various minutia of some bizzare chemical reaction or how the atmospheric density results in a superfluid on the surface (and all the cool stuff that superfluids do). There is a little of that here but this story is now a rare bird on/. - news for flamewars, stuff that incites.
If anyone is still out there that remembers the nerdy old days, is there any forum left on the internet to discuss this sort of stuff? Or have trolling and flamewars swallowed the entire internet?
Yeah, perpetuating mail voter fraud is so easy I just have to go around to a million mailboxes, stealing the ballots and replacing them with fakes (specific to that person because thats how mail ballots work, you don't just get a blank sheet of paper) so no one notices and then mail my stolen ballots in such a way as to not arouse suspicion, such as putting the million stolen real ballots back in the mailbox I stole them from in a timely manner with no mistakes or leaks from my hordes of voter fraud henchmen.
This. EVERYBODY knows that to tamper in an election all you have to do is find a million people that will sell their vote for $100 or so...oh and hide a $100M paper trail...oh and the big one, keep a million people quiet who's loyalty is for sale. But if my tin pot candidate loses its gonna be rigged I tell ya! But not if tin pot candidate wins of course...then it wasn't going to be rigged. Keep them armchair conspiracies coming.
Sidenote: I can't find the "news for nerds, stuff that matters" anymore on the site. For transparency/. should put something like "flamebait for flamers, stuff that incites" in it's place.
This is always my first thought whenever I hear "biggest fine ever". A common reaction is jail time for those involved but I think a better deterrent would just be to make the fine something like 50x the profits generated. That way we don't have to pay for an expensive trial (and it will be much more expensive than the fine if an executive is involved) or whatever jail time. Instead, regulatory agencies will finally have sufficient funding to enforce existing rules, victims get a nice payout and those responsible will immediately be fired and toxic in their line of work so they'll never be able to do it again.
On the contrary, we now know...it really was aliens!!! Surely you can see this also proves all the other off-the-cuff conspiracy theories made up in the past decade. Say goodbye to your precious bodily fluids!
Slashdot Mirror
And I say this as a Trump supporter

I am 100% convinced that Hillary wanted Donald as the (R) candidate, and the media set him up to win.
To prove it I following evidence: it fits the narrative of my preconceived bias.
Wait, what was this story about again?

As opposed to nihilistic, racist, slave holders known as Democrats?
Yeah, they're all dead though so how much does that really matter today?

The names are easy to fabricate and have no ancestral source. We see them all the time in the South.
Should that be a problem?
Nobody has tested 'LaTrina' vs. 'Harley', just 'LaTrina' vs 'Richard'. Because they know the answers they are looking for.
The problem isn't that they are looking for it, its that they find it.

Is he wrong?

Day traders? Or are they diversifying and this is their new division to provide content to click bait sites such as ./ ?
"bring together private companies and the government to deal with the larger issues"
On second thought, maybe uber is laying the groundwork to run for office in 2020.
I wish people would revolt.
Sounds like your 3rd party is Homer Simpson for garbage commissioner...."Can't somebody else do it?"

Ok, but in the mean time how about you learn the concepts of "averaging" and "scale".

You mean Trump likes the ladies? Is that forbidden now?
It* sure as fuck is if they don't like him
*it being the groping and peeping obviously
Trump has said a lot of stupid shit, but I've not heard him yet say he was against racial or gender equality.
Actions speak louder than words...
