OP gave multiple, well-documented cases, of which I was so nice to actually put a name to two, but anyone who followed the news the past 5 years recognised them.
Of course, like a typical troll with no argument you just shout "t'ain't so!" and run away, while projecting your own moral bankruptcy on the other. I had expected nothing better after asking you to back up your position.
And where does that refute his point? Despite the fact that society pats women on the head by passing them a largely useless piece of paper (it's still mostly your social network that determines advancement, not your degree), we still get politicians like Akin, and the Hobby Lobby decision.
Quite frankly, GP is right, and the Troll mod is probably the work of yet another pimply MRA type.
Marvel takes a gazillion liberties with the source material anyway, so why is this one specific liberty one step too far?
(Aside from the fact that this change is in fact closer to the original sources anyway. Then again, this kind of reflexive misogyny is not a sign of clear thinking anyway)
Option 6: Submitted papers really aren't that good.
Especially in subjects with a lot of politicisation in the popular press, it is a common tactic for third-rate or worse researchers to go crying about the establishment suppressing their papers; a closer look often turns out that these papers are in fact very shoddy work.
younger people are (generally) better at thinking up new ideas/paradigms and novel ways to do things
As a guy with some experience, all I hear is "younger people blindly follow the newest fads". As it turns out, there have been very little new ideas in IT, and most of the New! Improved! ways promoted these days are merely restatements of old ideas, or old ideas that got discarded for being unpractical.
But in an industry with an institutional memory of barely a decade, that sounds like innovation. And it's self-reinforcing due to the fact that not a lot of employers appear to be interested in hiring experience, instead being dazzled by the Cult of Youth.
In other words, it's effectively practising a religion.
Not a popular thing to say around here, but that's what this speculation about alien life comes down to for those on the side of 'it exists': it's a religion, with SETI as its High Mosque, and the Drake Equation its shahada
. Those who come down on the side of 'it might be possible' are the equivalent of the Christmas-only Christians.
Oh, Asterix (bugger, stupid keyboard doesn't do accents, can't be bothered to fix right now) has always had absolutely brilliant translations. I grew up on the Dutch ones, and they're quite as good as the original French.
I just pointed out I have them in French these days to ensure no misunderstandings: I'm quite at home in European comics. I am thankful for the suggestion, but it's superfluous in my case. And bonus: I get to enjoy brilliant if occasionally silly wordplay in multiple languages.
I like the campy fun of the Silver Age, and the Bronze age has its highlights (isn't Spider-Man more or less the #1 Bronze Age Superhero?); it's the needless 'Darker and Edgier' hype of the later ages that put me off comics for a long time, they were nothing like I remembered from the few volumes I read as a child.
Now I'm getting into it a bit more, I just want to round out my experience with a genre that feels closer to my tastes, hence the question.
The GF is mostly a late Silver Age Marvel fan, so willing to help she may bey, she knows just as much as I do of this particular period. From what I've seen so far it would be closer to my tastes; I read her comics and enjoy them, but the enjoyment is just a bit off.
It's fairly obvious that any real geeks have long gone from Slashdot, and the site has been taken over by 13-year old Rand-worshipping basement dwellers.
I had hopes some of the old spirit was left to give an answer to my question, but I now have come to regret this.
Tariffs are passed straight through to the buyers of the products.
No. If importers could pass on the cost of the tariffs with impunity, then they could have sold at higher prices already and pocketed the difference as profit. Since they do not do so now, there is a strong indication that their competitive position means they can't.
Slashdot Mirror
Concluding with observable facts that the well has already been poisoned is not a fallacy.
OP gave multiple, well-documented cases, of which I was so nice to actually put a name to two, but anyone who followed the news the past 5 years recognised them.
Of course, like a typical troll with no argument you just shout "t'ain't so!" and run away, while projecting your own moral bankruptcy on the other. I had expected nothing better after asking you to back up your position.
And yet people keep voting for governments promising more austerity. The facts do not bear out your hypothesis.
Again I ask, what does that single stat do to refute the multiple points brought up by its parent post?
And where does that refute his point? Despite the fact that society pats women on the head by passing them a largely useless piece of paper (it's still mostly your social network that determines advancement, not your degree), we still get politicians like Akin, and the Hobby Lobby decision.
Quite frankly, GP is right, and the Troll mod is probably the work of yet another pimply MRA type.
Or we could just ignore the butthurt complaints of little basement dwellers like you and tmosley below.
Since this particular form has been taken over and is now a shibboleth for weaseling, a smart person would avoid it at all costs.
Marvel takes a gazillion liberties with the source material anyway, so why is this one specific liberty one step too far?

Anytime I hear someone say "A but B" I know they mean B but are just too cowardly to say so outright.
Right. So an alien being posing as an Asgardian God? No problem.
The power of said alien being manifesting in ordinary mortals? No problem.
Said being a member of a team with among others a Forties soldier who survived decades of being frozen and a man turning into a monster? No problem.
Incarnating as a woman? HERESY!

I'm sorry? Have you ever seen the huge amounts of boilerplate Java requires?

Yes, God forbid someone should have a pride being competent at something. The horror. Think of the self-esteem damage to the incompetent.

Thanks, that was a useful answer!
I am Dutch, and as it happens I have these, in the original French no less.

Because, as it so happens, Golden Age is not to her taste. Now, did you have anything useful to add? No? Then kindly STFU.
As it so happens, the partner in question is a woman. But thank you for your completely pointless misogynie.
No. If importers could pass on the cost of the tariffs with impunity, then they could have sold at higher prices already and pocketed the difference as profit. Since they do not do so now, there is a strong indication that their competitive position means they can't.
They are willing to pay others to do parts; Amazon is trying to drive those others out of business. That was the whole point of the rant.
