    Yep. She should take one for the team and say that she'll go to jail as long as Hilary goes first.

  2. "Rep. Elijah Cummings, the ranking Democrat who's in line to become the next chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee next year, promises any potential investigation into Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump's emails won't be like the "spectacle" Republicans led in the Clinton email probe'

    BWAAHHHAAAHHHAHHAAA!!! Yeah right. If there are Vegas odds on this, I bet it's 9:1 that it will be a huge spectacle.

  3. This is starting to sound like the razor wars from a while back. Every year it seemed the major razor companies would release a razor with one more blade than the year before. I think they finally stopped at six, realizing how ridiculous it all was. This is not that far off.

    This thinly veiled advertisement sounds like the beginning of a Black Mirror episode.

  8. I'm amazed this news ever got out on Nigerian Firm Takes Blame For Routing Google Traffic Through China (reuters.com) · · Score: 0

    What with Google being Google and all. I suppose they figured they'd be able to blame it on someone else so this possible security breach info was okay to be let out into the public domain.

  9. You seem to think that hate speech = threats of violence. That may have been the case back in the day, but now that we're living in PC social justice hell, hate speech isn't just threats of violence, it's anything that offends people. If the world is going to censor "offensive stuff" on the internet, then we might as well just shut the whole thing down right now.

  10. "aimed at establishing regulations for the internet, to fight such online threats as cyber attacks, hate speech and online censorship"

    Anybody else see a problem with that statement?

    Nah, for a liberal (regardless of age), the "truth" is anything that gives them the warm fuzzies and/or allows them to virtue signal on social media.

    Wrong. Lived in Cleveland, Buffalo, and New England. I know real winters.

    Oooh, you sound like a real man. Please let me groom your manly beard while I stroke your manhood.

    Where I live we had a 30+" snowstorm just last April. I'm very familiar with winters, you arrogant douche. Unless you have studs on those snow tires (illegal) you aren't stopping your car on a steep hill covered in glare ice. You just aren't. Don't even pretend that you can. Snow tires are great but can only do so much...it's called physics, you should look into it sometime.

    It's not that they don't work (although many don't if you're on a bike or motorcycle), it's that they're timed terribly even if they do work.

    Feh. Idiots who can't drive don't deserve to drive. Can't stop in the middle of a hill in winter? Sheesh. If you have both hills & snow, you use snow tires. Simple as that.

    And idiots who've never seen a REAL winter storm shouldn't make idiotic comments about driving in them. Trying to stop a vehicle going any speed on a steep hill in the middle of an ice storm is impossible regardless of size or type of tires.

    Don't listen to rsilvergun, he's a know-it-all dick. He hangs out at Slashdot for the soul purpose of disagreeing with others, even if he knows the position he's taking is blatantly wrong.

    The sensors work and work well..

    No, they don't. This one has a sensor - one of those cameras that watches everything. The light still turns red as I'm pulling up to it even though there's no cross traffic. Also, this was just an example. The traffic management system, in general, is very much broken.

  17. Terrible Stop Lights on Has the Love Affair With Driving Gotten Stuck in Traffic? (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    It doesn't help that there's now a stop light or roundabout at nearly every intersection that gets more than 20 cars a day. For example, the city I live in put a stop light IN THE MIDDLE OF A STEEP HILL because there's a small factory on the, otherwise completely empty, side street. So even though there's only cross traffic for about an hour each day, the light continues all day. I'm just waiting for this winter when someone goes sliding through the light and T-bones someone. I hope both parties sue the city.

    The Godwin that made the rule you're citing concurs with Ryanrule. We ain't talking about HR's internet policies or non-smoking restaurants here.

    Godwin is a hypocrite. So one crazy person who happens to associate with alt-right goes on a killing spree and suddenly alt-right as a whole are a bunch of murderers? I don't agree with anything those people come up with, but the logical fallacy in this is mind-boggling. By that logic every Democrat is a baseball practice murderer.
