And since when do "normal people" become President? Becoming president requires a rare combination of talents and ambitions that is too exceptional to ever be "normal".
Well, if people on the Left are the ones hearing and complaining about these supposed "dog whistles", and I on the Right don't hear them at all, then what does that tell you? The answer is that people on the Left are making assumptions about what the Right is saying that contradict the actual content, but since the prejudice driving these assumptions is so deeply rooted they can't entertain the possibility that they are wrong, so what the Right is saying must be secret code for what they assume the Right actually thinks.
I've noticed that the only people who seem to hear these supposed "Right Wing Dog Whistles", are on the Left. That's a big problem if these dog whistles are supposed to be secret messages to the Right, because not only are they being intercepted, they aren't recognized by the intended recipients.
This is a rather strong indicator that what the Left calls the Right's "dog whistles", are in fact misrepresentations of statements by GOP politicians. Whether this misrepresentation is the product of blinding prejudice against the Right or intentional deception is not something I know.
How the content is phrased is still content. Twitter says they are looking at account behavior, not tweet content. Thus, "how you say it", must be irrelevant. If not, Twitter is lying about not doing this based on content.
WTF is this: "DHS has been warning utility executives with security clearances about the Russian group's threat to critical infrastructure since 2014."
I don't know how many utility executives have security clearance, or why they would have it given that they don't work for the government, but clearly not all do and thus went for FOUR DAMN YEARS WITHOUT BEING WARNED!
Does that seem wise to anyone? No? I'm not surprised.
I'm not sure I want to do it this way. There seems to be an awful lot of slicing involved, and then there's a ton of heavy metal poisoning on top of it.
I think I might just wait for a less lethal method.
What do you mean by, "you wouldn't use an Encyclopedia to get a general overview of a topic..."? Isn't that what half of encyclopedias are for? One kind of encyclopedia is a detailed compendium of knowledge about one topic, the other is a summary of every topic. The latter, where you find the Britannica and Wikipedia, is exactly what one would use to get general overviews of various topics!
You think that's bad, the Wikipedia page linked at "Also called the Blue Whale Challenge" has this to say:
"In the United States, one site, also called the "Blue Whale Challenge", does not identify as an effort to combat the game, but offers fifty days of challenges that promote mental health and well-being."
One would think that multiplayer games would be in their sights if social-media-induced-suicide had anything to do with their motivation, but single player only games are listed as well. Like The Witcher 3.
Here's the description from the College Board link (biggest bit of BS in bold):
What is the difference between the two computer science courses?
AP CSP is focused on creativity, ideas, and new ways of thinking. AP CSP provides students with the time, space, and technical tools to begin using the principles of computing to explore and create solutions for their needs and interests. Programming and other aspects of computing are taught in the course; however, students don’t need previous coding experience to take AP CSP.
AP CSA introduces students to computer science focusing on problem solving, design strategies, organization of data, approaches to processing data, and the ethical and social implications of computing. The course emphasizes both problem solving and design using Java language.
Well, "Latino" is the short way to say "Latina/Latino", so I guess it's imagined offence. I think they call that sort of imagined offence by-proxy "microaggression", so maybe we call them "microaggressors"? Or , "microbrained" for short.
I'm going to go ahead and call BS on political neologisms. Latino is the correct collective noun. Inventing a new, nigh unpronounceable, word to be politically correct is... No. Just no.
Well, that's better worded than what I was probably going to say, so thank you.
It does seem like it's just the voice input kicking in when you're likely to want it, not a nefarious plot. Besides, the Party probably has better bits of spyware on there already.
Well, one of the things lawyers are for, especially defense and some corporate attorneys. Any time an attorney is present during an interview, they're impeding a government investigation. What's Comey saying?

+1,000,000 points for style.
Yes, but understanding economics doesn't fit with the "everything you do or like is bad" agenda.
Oh, just a motherboard? Is there a good reason for Apple to call it by a different name than everyone else?
I think I might just wait for a less lethal method.
Well, I guess that's to be expected when posting form an abacus. I withdraw my doubts about your sanity.

Then it's a race to the patent office!

So they really blew it with this article.

Because it's over. Castro won when Baptista fled, thus ending the revolution.
The poop emoji that is. I've waited too long for that ability as-is.
They made it the easiest way to get some college credit. Click the NYT link in the article for example exam questions. It's sad.

My favorite is that the word for 'skirt' is masculine. "Der Rock."

Yeah, how long before their Chinese "partner" drops the deal, claims the patents as their own, and sues AMD for infringing?
ATT Watch is part of their cell service, DirecTV Now is the one with a Roku channel. AT&T is so well organized that it's competing against itself.
