I'm a fiscally conservative, social moderate who hates Obama, has multiple openly gay friends, and generally votes libertarian when possible. Good luck categorizing that! Maybe that's why I usually just see ads for "Women get it free" on the rare occasion that I'm on the site.
Why does Apple constantly feel the need to make their customer cater to their silly money-grabbing whims? If Apple didn't have so many hipster fanboys buying every single stupid product they make, they would have been out of business 10 years ago. My brand new PA speakers don't have bluetooth. My relatively new home theater receiver doesn't have bluetooth. Any sound-outputting product that doesn't have a headphone jack is a sound-outputting product I won't be buying. Period.
Who cares about race or gender? Hire the best. If only 3% are black, should they hire someone less qualified just to meet a quota? That's bullshit. Try being the best instead.

Reality has a liberal bias, so the conservatives fled Facebook because they are unhappy with reality.
I know I shouldn't feed the trolls, but this has to be the single most arrogant thing I've heard in many months. Go back to playing with yourself while reading Vox articles on gun control and leave the rest of the thinking population alone.
...was when they first started SUPPORTING emojis in the OS and made a big deal about it as a "new feature" worth upgrading for...
Exactly. First they shove emoji's down our throats, now they're trying to make social/political statements with them by choosing which one's they'll support. For this and so many other things, my hatred for Apple burns with the rage of a thousand suns.
And just when I thought it was impossible for me to hate Apple any more than I already do...they exceed my expectations and manage to make me hate them even more.
I'd say about 40% of Millenials value their phones over their own family. I'd bet 20% would give up solid foods for a year vs. giving up social media for a year. The fact that many Millenials would choose speed over security shouldn't surprise anyone.
To mod otherwise because the mod dislikes something, or finds it "offensive", is a form of self-delusion, an effort to censor with the approval of his or her own conscience.
Although it's sad that some people would rather try to censor my 1st amendment rights than come up with a useful alternative, I'm not even slightly surprised. I've had this same debate with friends who are rabidly anti-gun and the answer is always the same - blame the tool, not the user. It's really sad, if we could just get the mentally ill the help they need and stop treating mental illness like something that shouldn't be talked about there would be so many people that could benefit. Not just people who are looking to commit violent acts, but millions of others who's quality of life has been ruined by a mental illness and are too afraid to get the help they need because of the ridiculous stigma attached to it.
Says the anonymous coward. This is the very definition of trolling. It's unfortunate that people who don't have an account on this site are able to post inflammatory bullshit like this.
Oh good, my post got labeled as a troll. How the FUCK is anything that I said in my original post trolling? A gun can't do a fucking thing without the user. I am NOT a gun nut and I hate gun violence, but I also have a functioning brain and therefore understand that putting silly new feel-good laws in place like banning magazines that hold more than 10 rounds won't do a god-damned thing because, guess what, there are MILLIONS of these in the U.S. already. Anybody who thinks my post is trolling is truly a fucking dumbass in denial about why mass shootings really happen. The stupid assholes who don't like my post because it doesn't fit nicely into their worldview just proves my original point. Fucking morons, you're part of the problem, not the solution. Seriously, take your heads out of your asses and wake the fuck up.
And now Obama will go up to his podium and act sad and say things like "we must do something," "guns are bad," etc., etc. But nothing will be done (as usual) because everyone refuses to address the real problem here - the mental health status of the individual pulling the trigger. The cat's out of the bag people. People are gonna get guns if they want them bad enough regardless of what feel good regulations we pass. The real issue at hand is helping the mentally ill so they don't get to the point where they want to pull the trigger.
This is junk science that makes a lot of assumptions on how the brain is supposed to be, then uses it's pointless conclusion to try to create social change. Sounds more like propaganda than science to me.
And this is what prevents serious gun legislation in the US: Too many people talking about something they know nothing about.
Exactly, and that is also why so many gun folks are so completely opposed to any new gun laws - most of the people making those laws couldn't tell the difference between a Ruger 10/22 that is painted black and a fully automatic M16. Ironically these are the same people who scream and shout about men making laws about abortion.
How cute. You must be very lucky and/or wealthy to be able to just up-and-quit your job for five years and assume that something similar will be available to you when you get back. Here's yet another thought. Don't judge people you don't know.
So I can ask if they spied on me and then almost certainly be put on a government list somewhere of people who have something to hide and/or are doing illegal things. Super.

Running a full linux distro on 64MB of RAM? That's gonna be one lean distro!
Actually it's all the d-bags posting inflammatory things like the above without having the balls to log in. Down with anonymous cowards!

Being willing-but-not-able and able-but-not-willing are two very different things.
Go away, troll.
False. I feel like I just got click-baited.
Is this a story from Futurama?

Anyone who is capably of shooting another innocent human being, other than self-defense or war, is mentally ill in some way.

This will force them to dump all the pointless channels that nobody watches and give us cheaper packages with content that the users actually want.
