What? That's.. a weird interpretation. If anything, it is a headline that fluffs him for doing away with regulations that exemplify government bloat.
It's not though. If you choose to read it as fluff you can, if you choose to read it as a stab, you can. You can't argue that it doesn't work both ways.
Oh. Heh. You believe that everyone is so anti-trump that they'll abandon all reason and criticize him, regardless of what's happening. It makes it easier for you to dismiss their arguments that way. You've probably seen so much of it lately that you see everyone through that lens.
That's not your point, but that's what matters.
Yes I do believe that. I never dismissed any good arguments though, though prove me wrong, I will be happy to admit I was when you do, as we're all human and do things out of our norms sometimes. I can't agree that it is what matters because it is simply not true.
Actually, I don't think my use of literally was wrong, but I don't log on the internet to argue that kind of stuff. That you care that much makes me not want to keep discussing, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and keep reading I guess...
Ok so, I read it, and the two of us are clearly geographically separated by a very large distance, hence our different interpretation.
Dunno, all I did was point out the headline was essentially written to provoke (as are all BeauHD headlines), and talk about how good it was that we would be getting rid of useless process. Never mentioned any snowflakes or self offense. I can see how a Trump supporter would take offense to it though, no problem.
I find it funny when people who decry "snowflakes" take such offense at clearly neutral phrases.
You're welcome, I'm glad I put a smile on your seemingly grumpy face. Oh, you didn't mean that kind of funny? Now do you understand? Not everyone interprets things the same.
Who started it is the most childish fucking question in the world. It doesn't fucking matter. What matters is that adults in positions of power stop acting like goddamned children before they get us all killed.
This lingering concept of "I want to rule the world." stopped applying when we could press a button and shield ourselves from the sun for thousands of years (Not that it matters because >half the population of the planet will be dead at that point).
We'll go back to exploration and conquest when shit hits the fan from climate change or something and we get thrown back into the dark ages. For now, lets just all get along before too many innocent folks die for nothing.
That I would believe for a moment that we would ever change from our ways as a species would be quite something.
I was simply touching on the fact that the headline was a baseless stab at someone everyone hates, which at this point is only causing violence, as you've probably seen in the news. What they did is still a good thing, and I stand by my remark, no matter the actual difference in efficiency.
Those who were fucking the dog before are still going to be fucking the dog after this change is made.
I'll probably be modded down almost instantly for daring to point this out.
I've done this myself but, I don't understand why. Why should there be some kind of need to point out that we expect to be down-modded/flamed/trolled/etc ?
It reminds me of "You won't believe XYZ!" headlines for some reason.
The headline is literally a stab at Trump to make him look like an idiot for touching on something that's 17 years gone, but the fact that worthless required documentation is being removed from government should be celebrated as a move towards efficiency. A government that is willing to admit stuff is useless and scrap it is a lot more useful than a government that bloats itself with process.
I'm waiting for everyone to come in and tell me everything Trump has done wrong now, but that's not my point whatsoever, so enjoy. (I probably will!)
It's actually not that much if you consider their choice of game format. Consider a game of Bullet Chess, where both players have 1 minute total on their blitz timer and no extra time is added on a move; for example.
Although I agree anyone making a snarky comment that this should have been obvious is just an asshole and probably wouldn't be very fun to work with.
Hah it's funny cause I was thinking to actually log on last night to reply to my comment, bashing myself about how cynical that was towards a group of people who, in general, definitely don't get cocky, and for sure don't exercise their "I don't care" muscles very often either. Apologies, I've been on rant mode as of late.
I have HEARD of the "IoT security clusterfuck in progress". I think anyone who has access to the internet would have. Knowledge of what IoT even is or not. My stance? I don't honestly care. Would rather go out and live in the woods. Thanks for taking time from your day to make me look like an asshole on the internet though!
At the time, the engineers were cocky and thought nobody would be able to fuck with it. Maybe at the time they were correct. Current engineers see the problem, but the solution costs too much so everyone just wishes it would go away and don't talk about it too much. I've never had much fun trying to explain something super technical (but super important) to someone who was stressed out and knew fuck all of what I was talking about (but occupied a role of higher power, yeah I'm talking about managers, OK?).
Fortunately, we've all been able to sit back and enjoy corporations falling prey to this kind of thought process, but someday, they'll hit just the right target where it'll cause real damage. I'm not talking the kind of damage where some exec. can't refurbish his yacht, and formulates some kind of propaganda with his friends to make it so he can. I'm talking the kind of damage where civilization grinds to a halt, and mass panic ensues.
Maybe I'm being too critical of everything these days but I find it surprising that these sort of things are even news. Shouldn't it be expected even before its inception that people are going to try and fuck with important things if they can? ESPECIALLY when they can do it anonymously?
I think I need to escape to the woods, and fucking soon, for a long time.
Then again the average human seems more worried about what Trump tweeted last night than the fact their spouses came in the door visually exhausted and down.
What we need is to address ours and our fellow human's emotions, not work ourselves to death while absorbing as much entertainment and drugs during our down time with the money we've made.
In fact we are quite lucky to even be having this conversation, you and I, Anonymous Coward. Astronomically so. I am however, far from wrong. These "statistics" are hogwash. Place them back in your ass where they came from.
As in like, why do we do this to ourselves? From TFA, it reads like this accord is nothing more than a friendship contract. Aren't we all fucking grownups here?
How much money is wasted through PAYING people to make shit like this even happen? Christ.
As someone who's been down that road (but never gone through with an attempt), I automatically hate this invention. When depressed to that point, emotions tend to swing so hard and so fast that any mention of predictions during this state of mind is utmost bullshit.
The very slightest of triggers can either send you overboard or keep you in one piece depending on how your inner conversation is going with yourself. This can be anything... a faint sound, perhaps a song that reminds you of good/shitty times, from a car passing by not too far away.
I consider myself lucky to be both scared of the afterlife enough to have thoughts force second-guessings into me (although the older I grow the less I care), and have enough positive triggers to bring myself back. Nobody, not even myself, could predict if these will always work for me as well as they have however.
Suicidal/depressive folks definitely need help, but not from the machines of this day and age. A positive trigger could well be overridden by a "fuck it", and it only takes a split second to follow through the act. You can't predict that kind of stuff with a high degree of accuracy, at least not yet.
Disclaimer : I did not RTFA. I find stuff like this appalling as it hits me right in the feels and I would be deeply insulted if a machine tried to guess whether I was going to kill myself or not. There's much more to it than some algorithms a team engineers wrote.

Yes, but this is paperwork.
Did you read how many man-hours they were spending? On paperwork for something that happened 17 years ago?
Fucking insanity.

An excellent solution to your situation would be for your entire family to use no spaces.
You all get to spend time closer together as a result!
It's actually not that much if you consider their choice of game format.

Although I agree anyone making a snarky comment that this should have been obvious is just an asshole and probably wouldn't be very fun to work with.
That you would need a bill to allow anyone to challenge science is fucking ridiculous.
I think you completely missed my point. That's OK though.
Hah it's funny cause I was thinking to actually log on last night to reply to my comment, bashing myself about how cynical that was towards a group of people who, in general, definitely don't get cocky, and for sure don't exercise their "I don't care" muscles very often either.

My musings on it:

Than the average human, yes.
Then again the average human seems more worried about what Trump tweeted last night than the fact their spouses came in the door visually exhausted and down.
What we need is to address ours and our fellow human's emotions, not work ourselves to death while absorbing as much entertainment and drugs during our down time with the money we've made.
Dude, this.
This, so fucking much.
Nobody is special.
In fact we are quite lucky to even be having this conversation, you and I, Anonymous Coward. Astronomically so.
I am however, far from wrong. These "statistics" are hogwash. Place them back in your ass where they came from.
Python has completely stepped on it's own dick
Yes but, with a dick that big, it would be hard not to step on it at some point.

Probably swords yeah.
I mean what else are we going to fight off the terrorists with?
Dude, no gay, but I love you.
You seem to express your anger in a very similar way as I.
So we'll take those away, and so on, and eventually we'll all be flying naked and the terrorists will surgically implant bombs inside their bodies.
Then they'll ban anyone with incisions from boarding planes! Brilliant!
You just sound like the worst kind of person.
