What you are seeing is an unintended side effect of people having, for the first time in human history, the ability to instantly communicate with millions of other people
It's more like the ability to find like-minded individuals and groups.
Most people still don't have the ability to instantly communicate with millions of other people because millions of other people don't want to listen to them. Most public posts are seen by just friends, they rarely get wider exposure.
civilized countries being overrun with third world filth
It's the first world filth that are overrunning us.
There are speed bumps near where I work and the delivery drivers don't slow down for them. We get the sudden, loud bangs as their trucks hit a bump at speed and all the stuff they are delivering gets smashed up.
They don't care because the delivery companies want speed above all else. The trucks and vans belong to the companies who must spend a fortune on maintenance.
As the court pointed out it is a balance between the rights of gay people to obtain commercial services without discrimination and religious freedom.
In that case the religious freedom argument was diminished by the fact that no-one could reasonably assume that the message on the cake was an expression of the baker's views. It was clearly the sentiment of the couple being married. Since the burden of squirting out some icing in the shape of some objectionable words is incredibly low compared to the burden of being denied service because of your sexual orientation the rights of the couple prevailed.
In reality most developed countries have never had such high levels of education. It fluctuates a bit due to funding, but unsurprisingly we have got better at teaching, not worse.
Knowledge of fruits may have been replaced by knowledge of information technology. Since we have finally got to a point where our food supplies are pretty secure and there are enough people retaining that knowledge to help us out in an emergency, that seems like a sensible change to make.
Windows 8 is already a second class citizen. A lot of new software and hardware doesn't support it. Take a look at AMD graphics cards, the 400 series was the last to support Windows 8. Now it's just 7 and 10.
I have a couple of machines running Windows 8 and it's fine. Didn't want 10 because of the spyware, 7 doesn't support eDrive, Linux is still Linux... Fuck.
The problem with China is that everyone uses them as an excuse to do less themselves, or to deflect criticism. China is doing a hell of a lot to mitigate what would have been an environmental disaster if they had followed the same path as other developed nations.
Much of Europe is committed, but there are some stragglers like the UK. The US is a mixed bag, some states are trying and others are not. It's hard to know what to do about America, because the usual economic pressure just makes Trump so something even more stupid. I guess waiting a couple of years and hoping is an option.
Does anyone ever fall for your tactic of trying to pretend that BLM are a violent group? Did you try getting some references to that on their Wikipedia page? How did that go?
The actual ruling against them didn't consider them to be being forced to make a statement or support gay marriage, because no one would reasonably think that the cake they made for a wedding was anything but the couple's message.
So it's not a forced speech issue in the eyes of the law, meaning it's much less important and applicable then many here seem to think.

Reddit support groups telling each other to HODL until the values goes back up enough to afford that lambo.
My point is that commercial driving of any kind creates perverse incentives to drive badly. Time pressure is the main factor.

Gender... War?
What?

Bullshit and soy based brain pill peddler. But I repeat myself.
Do you understand that "pushed" means he called for people to do it, not that it actually happened?
Hopefully banning him will prevent someone getting beat/shot up. We don't want another Pizzagate, that could easily have gone south.
I'm not going to defend the violent antifa protesters, but I'm not going to see any moral equivalence with murderers and people who call for genocide.
The bad behaviour of antifa does not in any way excuse or justify the alt-right, or diminish the legitimate criticism of them.
"But antifa" has become as bad as "but her emails".

Anyway you can just google fruit now.
Freesync is better than NVidia's proprietary crap too.
Don't know if it is still true but AMD seemed to be a lot faster for compute tasks a couple of years ago too.
I'm guessing he means spaghetti and meatballs.

Problem with nuclear is that the prerequisites make it unsuitable for a lot of places. Would nuclear be okay in Iran? And who is going to pay for it?
Hydro is good but there isn't enough of it. Wind and solar are both great and have enough capacity for our needs. Batteries sold separately.
Renewables are a viable plan from an engineering stand point, and a political/economic one.

That some fucked up political correctness when you can't call a Nazi a Nazi any more.
Why is Antifa still allowed on these platforms, when they explicitly practice violence
You know most of those "Antifa" accounts are fake, right? Like the infamous Antifa Boston that was calling for violence was just a troll account.
Tell that to ISPs that block port 25 and malware domains.
Wow, a new low for triggered snowflake mods. "California isn't the far left" is apparently trolling their poor little feels now.

I thought data was the plural of "anecdote".
If he were making the rules I have no doubt he would ban "fake news" like CNN.
California is centre-right, it's the rest of US politics that is so heavily skewed to the right it makes them look like an outlier on the spectrum.
Critical to Trump. Twitter in particular is his way of bypassing the media and their scrutiny of what he says.
