If dialectical marxists believe feudalism was a necessarily and inevitable stage on the way to capitalism and then communism, where does colonialism fit?
Maybe after the withering away of the state everyone just moved to Fiji or something.
They don't make music or video games or TV shows people like.
Why would they? The sheriff of Nottingham is just going to come by and pick their pockets.
This link tax is just going to make it harder for both of the content producers in the EU to get outsider into their stuff because there's another barrier.
So when the trade center buildings were destroyed by Al Qaida, we should have just rolled over and accepted their "peace keeping" operations instead of exerting our hegemony over Pakistan by murdering Osama.
I know I will sleep better at night knowing the cartels, jihadis, and sources of foreign oppression can just walk right in and do whatever they want.
Did you get your understanding of world affairs handed to you by International Studies professors?
Well... it's ok if you want it. When all the apps on my phone make me read their really awesome privacy policy, I think about how I didn't download their app looking for a privacy policy. It's like, "Download our app and we promise not to murder you." Great, please don't murder me. I don't want to be murdered, but really I'm looking for more in an app than to not be murdered.
I want privacy, but I'm not sure what the danger of having a company have your data is.
Why does Comey's personal email for business get an article on \. and not that FBI (Peter Strzok / Lisa Page) was telling itself “we'll stop” Trump from becoming president?
If the government doesn't go after criminals, companies can charge you through the nose for operating in a dangerous place where most people don't want to set up shop.
The summary seems to speak favorably about liberalism by comparing Waluigi with Obama, but then it also notes Waluigi has a lack of an individual identity.
I am glad the Obama folks are picking up on the way liberalism grooves away from having a personal identitiy.
To me there is no greater gift given to human than the possibility to become a self. To have a self. As suicides increase and governments expand, I get the sense that this option becomes more and more eclipsed to people -at least in terms of what they readily perceive.
>> Did U Know? That Barack Obama was the only post-war presidency during which the United States did NOT enter into a recession?
I don't think you are intending to celebrate mediocrity here, but you kind of do. 2% growth is waaay meh and surpassed by all the other administrations. If your goal is to not once have the boat rocked, ok, Obama scored. I voted against all that.
>> The economy grew under Bush until it completely tanked and took us into the Great Recession.
Obama left that part out of his response in the interview. Either you know better than him or your claim is a tough sell.
Look, I don't want to buy overpriced coffee. In the same way, corrections are GOOD !!

What's wrong with preferring online over storefront?
The latter is more expensive for the buyers.
I thought it was in advertising
My wife sells metal Norwex straws. We have them coming out of our ears at home. They're nice, but I don't see them getting handed out at restaurants.
Not sure there are any really good plastic alternatives for restaurants giving them out for free.
Paper straws are not great. People don't like them, and that's really their business AFAIC.

Inevitable !!
The EU doesn't produce any movies people watch.
They don't make music or video games or TV shows people like.
Why would they? The sheriff of Nottingham is just going to come by and pick their pockets.
This link tax is just going to make it harder for both of the content producers in the EU to get outsider into their stuff because there's another barrier.
No, see! We're taking massive subsidies and free money from the tax payers!
We're NOT supposed to be ripping ourselves off !!
That is COMPLETELY different.
This is just not organized enough of a heist.
We are too ahead of our time.
I'm not sure what to make of Russia now.
Khrushchev never invaded Ukraine. Putin did.
At least their economy is better now.
At least the "for profit" colleges kept their costs reasonable
Oh, I see. The military just does murder.
So when the trade center buildings were destroyed by Al Qaida, we should have just rolled over and accepted their "peace keeping" operations instead of exerting our hegemony over Pakistan by murdering Osama.

When the government makes all your choices people care less and don't try as hard.
When the brain doesn't have to work so hard people pay less attention and it undergoes entropy.
No wonder more people are trying to move TO the US than LEAVE the US.
Studies also show removing options (i.e. "freedom") from a person's life can cause clinical depression and other brain deviations.
Wouldn't surprise me if this is a Europe thing.
No wonder people in Europe (including my ancestors) have been trying to move to the US for hundreds of years.
Is that why everyone is trying to moving INTO the US and NOT OUT of the US?
As soon as the standards get centralized they will track toward, "Does this student support the ideals of the Party?"
Just like the FBI was texting itself about how it was going to make sure Hillary got elected.
Just like how the DNC had the fix in against Bernie.
Just like how the IRS had explicitly written in their policies to go after and audit all Tea Party affiliated organizations.
Government trust is at an all time low right now. Where it should be.
If it really is trash, then what is the alternative?
If there isn't one, it is necessarily the best option.
However "mistaken" it might be, a lot of employers demand this.
That's just where the rubber meets the road.

Blame the criminals.
Blame the soft enforcement of laws.
I can see someone's enemy saying, "I'm going to blast your debris across space and all alien life will hear your screams!"
The only time privacy matters is when you have a corrupt government that is trying to eliminate the opposition.
Like, the FBI saying, "We'll make sure Hillary wins".
Privacy protection from companies ?? What good is that ?? Companies aren't going to audit you because of your political views.
If you're excited about privacy from companies, it probably means you're living in your parents basement stealing bad porn (e.g. GoT) or music.
I'm a dev who knows nothing about HW.
I came to this article thinking, "Ooh, maybe I don't have to pay an extra $400 for a GPU on a new computer!"
Is that wishful thinking?
Does this announcement make any handwavey motions in that directions or am I waay off course.
The people in Africa are being shot and plundered by strongmen (i.e. "governments") from Liberia to Congo and the trees get the headlines?
Don't care. Let the trees go. Save the people.

Come visit America. It was first populated by people who didn't want to have to wait around for other people to give them permission to succeed.
The locusts have no king, yet they advance in ranks.
Proverbs 30:27
Many examples of this exist in nature (cf The Starfish and the Spider).
