    And yet despite having more or less the same relative amounts of mothers, pregnant women, children and elderly, no-one else in the world buys SUVs and crossovers in the same relative amounts as Americans.

    The facts strongly suggest it is not utility that is the selling point...

    You answered to a post mentioning Marissa.

    Really, is this all the deflection skills you can muster? You're pathetic.

    I don't. You're the one studiously avoiding to shore up your claim that the 'feminist media' is hailing Carly and Marissa as great examples. Without, I note, submitting any proof when asked nicely.

    You're a disingenuous twat.

    Or, maybe, just let the corps negotiate for that data themselves for their counterstudies?

    What, exactly, is stopping these corps to cough up the dough themselves for this data and do their replication? Oh yes. Fucking greed.

    Producing word salad is easy. Actually doing some research as to what feminism actually is and how much actual feminists support Carly Fiorina (here's a hint: aside from some old Second Wave feminists, not a whole lot) is a lot harder. And obviously above your brain power.

    I don't have to refute anything. You brought it up, yours is the burden of proof. Simply parroting what you hear in your alt-deluded bubble does not constitute proof. So here's a cracker, Polly. You're a good bird. With quite a good brain...for a bird.

    "You just don't want to see!" is the battle cry of the bigoted ignoramuses projecting their own shortcomings. I see no apologia, merely a simple observation that the mere say so of one party not makes it truth. You are the one with a reading problem, apparently.

    No, I am merely saying that withoutproof I am not going to just take a declaration of "they are up to no good" for truth. It's called 'being rational', you should try it sometime.

    No. I asked for examples. This is not an example. In fact, the majority of the links on that page contradict your thesis.

    Do you even understand what feminism is?

    Don't bother answering, that question is rhetorical. You've already proven that you are just another stupid parrot.

    In 2009 they failed in the launch of the Kwangmyngsng-2 satellite, were denounced in turn by the UN as that launch being cover for a missile test, and subsequently restarted their nuclear program

    So, they failed in a non-nuclear test of a missile and get accused of it being a hidden nuclear program. And you wonder why they think they should not be beholden to an agreement if the other side is blatantly abusing their trust?

    And before you start sputtering: let's just take them at their word. We know that the U.N. is more than willing to believe fabricated evidence by the U.S. We have the sordid history of Iraq's "Weapons of Mass Destruction" as an example.

    That's not a function of the vinyl. With the same master a CD would have better sound quality.

    Do not confuse cause and effect.

    While the sound quality of vinyl over digital formats is debatable

    No it is not.

    There is something to be said about sitting down and listening to a record rather than pressing play on a digital device.

    Oh, right. You believe in fairy dust.

  16. I was not clear you were referring to things like SSO backend modules. No, uMatrix will not block those.

  17. I can delete all of my cookies right now. I can opt not to even allow them to work on my computer. I cannot do the same with Facebook plugins that have invaded the internet.

    Yes, you can.

    uMatrix is wonderful. Slightly steep learning curve, the first two weeks all your favourites will break as you adjust your whitelist, but it stops third-party tracking dead.

  18. I confess I did feel like trolling a little.

  19. Thank goodness that shit is going to be illegal in the EU soon.

  20. How your fact-free, unsupported opinion on this topic achieved plus ANYTHING "Informative" is beyond me ...

    Because it is the kind of fact-free libertard ranting "Tuh Govemment is bad!1!!1!" that appeals to the basement dwelling nerds that resent living under their parents' authority but are too much of a failure to make it out on their own.

    And lots of these losers read Slashdot and ipso facto have mod points.

    No, what happened in the UK is a rapacious Tory party waging a merciless class war on anyone below middle class level.

  22. Oh gods, a tu quoque fallacy. And not even an original one, but a parroted talking point.

    Is huffing paint until your brain dies a right-wing initiation ritual or something?

  23. As I said, grow the fuck up. You are acting as if a billion-dollar company, complicit in rightwing election tampering, is some sort of 'liberal' hate machine.

    Go take your projection, and shove it up your arse.

  24. The major scandal that broke is that Facebook (willingly) supported a rightwing data mining company, and yet all the conservative snowflakes can whine about is how oppressed they are.

    Grow the fuck up.

    So slow the fuck down!
