...when you are feeling this anger at people who advocate healthy food, you are really just trying to avoid feeling the shame at failing...
I just feel anger at people who advocate. Period. I don't care if it's your god (or lack thereof), your eating habits, your exercise routine, or any other aspect of your lifestyle. If it works for you...great. Glad to hear it. The instant you become preachy and say that everyone should be living that way...now we have a problem; and I don't care if I agree with your message (in your case, I agree with most of it... but seriously. Shut the fuck up.). If you're preaching to me, you have made a judgement on me that I don't believe in your "flavor of the month" and feel that I must be set on the straight and narrow to your way of doing things. At that moment I'll make my own judgement and regardless of the merit of your argument, I will declare you a douchebag. Actually, with that last line in your post... I'll go so far as call you a condescending douchebag.
I normally don't have time for your type... but there may be some slight hope that you would examine what you're posting and come to the realisation that you're not doing anyone a service and alienating the ears that would listen... and maybe I won't come across another condescending post from you in the future. Then again...if I do, no skin off my back because I don't have to live with you.
I get the Wal-Mart brand of Claritin or Zyrtec. No Prescription needed even for 6+ month supplies. I find I have to alternate between the two every few months. There's something in the Georgia grass that my skin just doesn't like being around...and my body tries to kill me if I go out and mow, no matter what med I take.
I get where your confusion is coming from. Your parent was talking about applying prioritizing 95% of the traffic in response to an AC that was questioning the logic of de-prioritizing encrypted traffic. Let me change the logic to something that will make a bit more sense by using the same argument from the OP of the thread to provide a bit more consistency.
If 95% of clients are getting de-prioritized based on the traffic being encrypted, that means that 5% of clients are being prioritized to allow the maximum bandwidth allotted to them and giving them full benefit of their link. The other 95% are truly neutral on the link now, because the ISP can't use Deep Packet Inspection to identify the type of traffic to prioritize. So when the majority of users are using encryption for everything it becomes a matter of hide your usage and have an experience much like most of the rest of the people on that network, or bare your ass to the world about what you're doing and experience the fast lane while doing it.
Personally, as someone who grew up in the days of dialup... I wouldn't care if images take 3 minutes to load like they used to, I'm not decrypting my traffic for anything. If there are more people that feel as I do than are there are who are willing to sacrifice their information to the world for some faster downloads, then my speed won't suffer all that much.
As I noted with the AC above: What I presume makes the most sense in this context is tender = money. Using this context I think that "Locked out of tenders" could be better represented by saying "having their financial accounts frozen."
The best guess I can think of that makes sense amounts to "locked out of financial accounts." This is assuming that "tenders" here is synonymous with "monies."
4th Amendment about "Unreasonable search and seizure." I don't know about you, but I think irradiating the general populace in the course of executing a search without a warrant from behind the veil of an unmarked van is unreasonable on multiple levels.
Sure... problem is that the biggest complainers against ad-blocking are the ones that have "In yo face shouting autoplaying video ads and ad images as far as your mouse can scroll on every page touting out 'This one neat trick...', 'The new rule in your state that insurance companies don't want you to know...', flash here, flash there, more flash than can be found in a comic book store... buy buy buy click click click $$$$$ $$$ $$ $ $... 4,000 pop-up windows ready to go with every click of the close button!!!!" and the actual content amounts to about ten lines per page...spread out over 20 pages of "In yo face shouting autoplaying video ads and ad images as far as your mouse can scroll on every page touting out 'This one neat trick...', 'The new rule in your state that insurance companies don't want you to know...', flash here, flash there, more flash than can be found in a comic book store... buy buy buy click click click $$$$$ $$$ $$ $ $...4,000 pop-up windows ready to go with every click of the close button!!!!" This is what takes whatever abated disgust from a site with well balanced content to ad ratio and makes it rage back with a vengeance to find the best Ad-Blocker to get that crap off their connection.
And if you don't like the format of my post and find it difficult to read, Dave...GOOD! This is what badly designed sites that give more credence to ads than content feel like. This is what makes people want to hit the nuke button on terrible ads. This is why many of us are beginning to say "see no ads and get very little content? What a refreshing thought! Still better than getting bombarded with ads and wondering where the real content was supposed to be."
Being able to take the recoil without knocking yourself in the head with the gun or throwing out/dislocating your shoulder. Even a weak recoil from a.22 can give you a black eye if you don't know what in the hell you're doing. Also, aiming a real gun and shooting a target accurately isn't the same as aiming what amounts to an oversized plastic flashlight at a screen; or even lamer, moving your hand/thumb to place a cursor over some avatar's eyeball and clicking a button.
Kinda gives a new meaning to "Come to the Dark Side, we have cookies."...or maybe it doesn't. Might be what they meant all along, and us being all innocent thought of the tasty kind instead of the tracking kind.
You know...the more I think about it, the more it looks like the Dark Side are supposed to be bad guys...
Wait...it's not enough to just RTFH, and a real pain in the ass to RTFS, but now we're expected to hover over links to see where they're hosted too? I think you ask far too much of us./sarcasm>
Seriously, who else did he have to program that huge Mainframe/Supercomputer he keeps in his basement? With all his trust issues, I highly doubt he'd be using any Kernel that he didn't develop himself from scratch. Also, he's gotta have some kind of mad hacking/networking skills to be able to pull data off of GCPD and Fed DB's without ever getting detected. All the infrastructure was in place long before anyone else joined the team, save Alfred. Maybe some help from Lucius, but I still wouldn't that much trust in anyone else if I were in his shoes and just as paranoid about my identity.
I say hold off on the box. If we get another post that mentions either of the two who already bailed with some relevant update to say that the ship jumpers past, current, and future are joining forces on this fork... then you'll probably want to grab the box. Hell, I might even chip in then and just watch the fun.
Oooh! If a couple more join the fray I might even print up some "Butthurt Bingo" cards to pass around...
I confirmed AvitarX's statement a few months back with some spare mod points.

You missed the point. This isn't about IT jobs. That's been a known sticking point of H1-B's already. This is new. This is taking general office positions...an entire administrative office (accountants, purchasers, middle managers, etc...), hiring H1-B's to observe how these people do their job to the finest detail, then firing the entire office and shipping all its operations over to India.
This is trashing the rest of the middle class jobs that thought they were safe from being outsourced because "you can't outsource core clerical business like you can IT." We've told them it's only a matter of time before companies found a way. Well, they found a way, and now the rest of the middle class is going to be gutted like a fish...just like we warned. It's not just an IT problem anymore. It's a core middle class office problem. How long before the executives get outsourced? Probably the next economic crash when India takes over American companies from the Top all the way down.
My preference for president: Sanders > Trump > anyone else. In the Democratic primary I'm going for Sanders. In my precinct, I'm probably going to be out voted in favor of H. Clinton (for her 3rd term as President). On the Republican side, I can't affect the primary, but I'm hoping Trump gets it (so far it looks like he might). In next year's election for the office, if he's on the ballot I'm going with Sanders. Being in a very much Red state, I'm most likely going to be drowned out. If he's not on the ticket, but Trump is, Trump gets my vote. If neither of them are on the ticket, I'm writing in Sanders...and then writing off the rest of America as nothing but idiots who deserve what they get while lamenting the fact that I have to be drug into that hell with them. Same answer for if either one of them wind up in the final election against any other member of their respective opposing party and loses.
No, it's not cost prohibitive to go with 5 year old tech that costs more a brand new modest PC. It's just a better value for a developer just starting out to go with Android over any other platform. The barrier to entry for developing on Android is considerably cheaper than trying to build for WinPhone or iOS. Hell, if I was strapped for cash but really wanted to develop a mobile app (basic logic and sanity questions notwithstanding) I could easily go down to Goodwill and pick up a Tower ($35), Keyboard ($3-4), Mouse ($2) and Monitor ($15-30) for less than $75 all together.
I personally don't have anything against using a Mac. There are times that I work with the Mac at work, enjoy the way it does certain things and get to thinking about buying one for home. Then I see the price they cost for the specs they offer and it always makes me sick to my stomach. The few kludges that I have to work around in a CentOS 6.7 Linux desktop to do my Open Source/Android dev-work is well worth the extra money I would have had to spend to get the "just works" system with not quite near the system specs I have (most certainly won't have a built in CUDA).
That's why you're supposed to jump out of the way when the giant monkey looks like he's gonna rush you. The only thing that'll happen then is he'll just get distracted and throw the chair out the window.
