needs to find for the photographer. As a future deterrent, he should be granted the deed to the actual hotel itself, half the assets of the hotels owners, and get jus primae noctis in regards to the hotel employee's daughters of whomever was involved in this scandal.
Thus the quotes. It's not the general populace, but specific elected officials who advocate for war. Peter King, John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, W. Bush, Rumsfeld, etc...the war hawks advocating for bigger bombing campaigns, direct troop involvement, larger Pentagon budgets, etc. If these people don't actually reflect conservatives, then perhaps conservatives should stop electing them? "Bomb Iran", "desert into glass", I'm sure you know the phrases better than me. And I agree, this is NOT a representation of the ideas of the actual Conservative platform; increased foreign military involvement against non-immediate threats are quite the opposite of a smaller government. I think if the actual conservatives made a list of the various voting records of the elected officials that claim to be conservative, it become quickly apparent that few actually are. IMHO, the only "true" conservative that was a POTUS contender was Rand Paul, but he's gone now.
But this also brings up the issue of absolute polarities: we shouldn't be 100% conservative OR liberal. Neither path, carried out to it's finality, is really viable. Shrink the government too much and it collapses into anarchy; grow it too much and it expands into a nanny state. We should follow the advice of President Dwight D. Eisenhower: "In all those things which deal with people, be liberal, be human. In all those things which deal with people's money, or their economy, or their form of government, be conservative."
Humans are "on top" because we cooperate better than all other species. If we all became 100% "individualists" to each other, our society would collapse; the very definition of a society is "people living together" and implies a level of empathy and cooperation. The true battle is to find a workable middle ground; but I feel that the US's "majority/minority" system is becoming too polarized for this to be accomplished.
On a personal note; I actually identify with the Republican Progressive ideals mostly, but I don't think we need the over-arching religious aspects as the bedrock of human equality.
To many conservatives, the "optimal government size" is one that operates solely in their benefit and is basically a "middle man contract placement system" to private entities that do all the real work. They want everything to be privatized; because they believe they would be the ones who own those corps. A computer system that matched up governmental tasks to private corporate bidders would probably be enough. No "social services" because if your "wealthy" then you don't need them and screw everyone else. I would say that humans are the dominate species BECAUSE of our cooperation, sharing resources, and empathy...but many conservatives don't believe in evolution and think we humans sprung fully-formed, talking and writing, from dust and a rib-bone...and that human activity can't ever have any lasting effects on the planet because God gave us dominion over the Earth so it's ours to do whatever we want to with.
it was fun. But what was even more fun was trolling Clear Channel, when we went into their local corporate HQ to talk about marketing...and I brought up their repeated helping the FCC in busting "pirate radio" stations. Just do a search of "clear channel busting pirate radio" and you'll find scores of stories. Once they even set up a media server to capture a signal and sent the link to the FCC along with the complaint. NPR is also an opponent of low-power FM. But, be warned, Clear Channel will aggressively pursue any signals they can find and have a very cozy relationship with the FCC enforcement arm.
that's why I have the ' "post-war reconstruction" paradign' part; the US had a baby boom but Europe sure didn't. An airborne HIV would be too indiscriminate and might accidentally infect the people behind the plot lol
Unless it's ditch weed, pot isn't super-cheap anyway. "Grow your own" still requires specific infrastructure. If your not in specific states, your still spending $300+ for an oz. Reading around, most "serious smokers" can go through 2 oz in a month...probably more if your just sitting around all day . So I really doubt that this "basic income" will be enough to pay for anyone's "24/7/365" habits at $300-$600 or up per month.
As a thought experiment, lets accept that their NOT just ignorant as an established fact. So, the next question is...why? If they know the potential ramifications, are hearing the various experts going against them, why are they doing this? What's their actual goal, and who's pushing them for this from "behind the curtain"? Is it just the FBI pushing her on this? Who will make $$$ if this passes?
Is another big, yet limited war. I feel that many "conservatives" would rather have a non-nuclear WWIII that whittles down the population, destroys manufacturing plants, and forces us all to "rebuild" (and thus raise employment) than ever give anything like a universal income. To the neocons and their ilk, this is a far more preferable and "natural" way of human society than raising taxes and providing UI. Plus, this would give the surviving 1% a chance to swoop in and buy up half-destroyed factories, valuable properties, and implement whatever "post-war reconstruction" paradign they have currently sitting in the wings.
And yet they probably would have also complained if their MB has to be a bit thicker/wider to have multiple USB ports. Mac fanboies ALWAYS complain about something, it's just part of their DNA.
In my car it's even worse, since my phone also does two "beeps" when it connects...so I've got the volume up for the music, connect / diconnect..."BEEP BEEP" at volume 15 lol
Your #1 is quite annoying and too true. My last three cell phones function just fine, EXCEPT that the USB port on them eventually breaks and they start having issues charging. This is something we DON'T need, to have to use this port even more. And there is many times I've plugged it in to charge AND plugged a speaker in to play music, is Intel going to suggest multiple USB-C ports on cell phones, or force phone manufacturers to recognize a USB-C hub?
I was thinking the same thing; I've had several sets of "USB headphones" already over the years...not sure how, other than being a "new type of plug" and having a bit more processing capabilities, this is "big news" from Intel. As opposed to I7 still, after almost a decade, still being their "top" CPU. Sure, it's shrunk quite a bit, but still an I7 since 2008.
ever believed Cruz's "H1-B visa stance". It's all just propaganda. Before he started running he was advocating for a 500% increase in H1-B visas in 2013.
I would actually suggest either Bronze or Copper...probably a Copper Dragon, since they like deserts and dry, rocky mountains. Their Chaotic Good, which is better as a pioneering adventurer than Lawful Good.
"pharmaceuticals which are monopoly products with set prices" it's not just the pharmacorps, even the DEA is part of this when they set various quotas on scheduled drugs that have little to no reflection to the actual amount of doctor-made prescriptions.
The current incarnation of the "Free Market" leads to mountain-top removal, poisoned ecosystems, acid rain, etc. The idea of a transactional agreement between buyer and seller doesn't take into account anything outside this transaction. It's not in the buyer's or the sellers short-term profit interest to impose any type of penalty or addition "fee" to mitigate the destruction wrought. All we've done now is shift this from the US to Asia...our air has gotten cleaner at the cost of perpetual smog in Beijing. There's been talk of "free market environmentalism" for decades but nothing real ever comes of it; it's all just PR.

Yeah, reading around it seems the only time the FCC gets like this is when specifically prodded by an outside party like Clear Channel.
There's been more than one World War. Europe didn't have a baby boom after WWI, aka "The Lost Generation".

Great fun, until the FCC shows up and seizes every piece of electronics in your house, AND hits you with a 4-5 figure fine payable in 30 days.

your looking for the "If Then, f&ck that" protocol that drops all "suspicious packets".

Like now being able to actually having the headphones themselves catch fire while your wearing them!
And yet they probably would have also complained if their MB has to be a bit thicker/wider to have multiple USB ports. Mac fanboies ALWAYS complain about something, it's just part of their DNA.
Then use this bluetooth to FM transmitter
My old Jeep doesn't have an aux jack, but the bluetooth-to-FM transmitter works great.
In my car it's even worse, since my phone also does two "beeps" when it connects...so I've got the volume up for the music, connect / diconnect..."BEEP BEEP" at volume 15 lol
