The United States has to go to the developing world(*) to find other countries they are similar to on many important progressive issues. It is embarrassing.
ISIS is an organization that has institutionalized the torture and enslavement of girls, the torture and decapitation (sometimes burning alive) of non-Muslims, and systematic genocide of non-Muslim civilians.
To be fair, ISIS has also institutionalized the torture, decapitation, and burning alive of Muslims who are not quite their kind of Muslims. So yeah, ISIS is pretty much the gold standard.
christian neocon is a distinct minority when it comes to discrimination these days.
Look, I know you're a troll, but I'm going to feed you anyway. While most Christian neocons have learned to shut their mouth in public when it comes to racism, check out any conservative blog or Facebook page and you'll see it riddled with hateful anti-Muslim comments, along the lines of saying we should kill them all, or blow them all up, or round them all up and lock them away (ahem, concentration camps).
Seems to me they could simply find and hire the right IT guy.
Hell, for the right amount of money I would do what ever they wanted. Drop me a couple of million and Ill give them a network and services that are close to untraceable and allow for the management of their business with little worry of the DEA figuring it out. I'd even include classes to teach there guys how to maintain security.
Will you throw in grammar classes as a package deal?
My kids have (so far, thankfully) been successful in their college careers, and one key element of their adolescence has been finding their peer group in high school and beyond. Our daughter is/was a performer, so she was a "drama kid". Our son found the ultimate frisbee team, and had a decent group of friends.
Also, be well rounded. If she is a geek girl, she should be sure to be physically active, eat well, and you know, blah blah blah..
Best to you in your future. All is well and will be so forever.
It's hard to convey the inherent creepiness of, for example, FB having an exceptionally accurate and deep digital fingerprint of everything you have done on their platform. FOREVER. All this info is essentially freely available to any FB friend/frenemy unless we go to lengths to avoid it.
So then... in the "future", some government or private entity will gain access to all of this information and use it for any purpose they wish.
People don't get that someday they may have something in their public profile that they don't want to be public anymore, and not just the pr0n they uploaded last week (but oh yeah, that too..).
It's OK. I'm 50 now, so I don't care about what "they" think as much anymore.
I look at my peer group--the kids I would hang out with in high school, and a couple of them have committed suicide. Many of them are still single. As a group, by traditional standards (not that it means anything really), modern life has not treated us all that well. Anyway, we accept the past and move ahead..
This is sad. I hope you found your way into adulthood OK. I was a public school kid, and had a group of friends despite my marginal social skills. The only difference between your experience and public school is that there is a larger group of kids to excommunicate you and the cast of characters changes frequently.
We found through our own kids (trial and lucky error?) that they really have to find their "people", their social clique within and outside of school.
But Dad, I turned 50 last year and I think I can make most of my dietary decisions now. I only fell for that cake trick the first few years anyway, dumbass. Come to think of it, I may consider moving out of the basement soon..
Yeah, about that... I start twitching whenever my boss types: MyFunction (arg1, arg2) and so on. Who puts a space after the function name before the '('? People who must die, of course.
OK, calming down now.. 1.. 2.. 3.. 4.. 5..
No, I'm OK, really.
I had an old boss who was a code style nazi. He was an asshole. And actually, my current boss is very cool, even if he codes like that.

At least that's what the ladies say...
It starts some days, if it feels like it.
The future -- deal with it.
You must admit, my platform is compelling.

Let's see, at $0.0014 per spin, I'm going to say... it's um.. hang on... and carry the 1, and... oh damn. Does anyone have an eraser?
OK, about 40% more than a tenth of a penny! Riches bitchez!!!
Sorry, I got nothin. You?

Better misspelled in this case. Comedic license yo.
Productivity reduced, thanks!
Basically, you're gonna die at some point.
Citation please.
Excuse me good sir, how much for the 10,000 km bear-poking stick?
Ah yes, you must be interested in our Ukraine package!
To be fair, I was studying the effects of a slouching posture on overall productivity and alertness, so... SCIENCE!!!
... but if you want to converse with your housekeeper, Spanish would be a good choice. Just sayin.
