  1. Apparently you have much more civil and/or smarter liberal acquaintances than me (I'm pretty much a centrist in case you're wondering). In my circle of friends...usually acquaintances of actual friends now that I think about it...it's someone smugly waiving hands and pointing fingers, shouting "RACIST," etc. while trying really hard not to furiously masturbate because they got to lay some social justice on one of them evil non-progressive types. It's pretty sickening actually.

  2. Re: Is this news? on Amazon Scraps Secret AI Recruiting Tool That Showed Bias Against Women (reuters.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    No reason is sensible to you because you have already prejudged all reasons to be non sensible.

    Empirical data isn't racist or sexist...unless you're a liberal. Then if you think the data might hurt someone's feelings or make someone feel less special it's clearly [insert -ist/-phobe buzzword of the moment] and so is the person that brought up the imperical data.

    I'll probably get downvoted for this, but you all know that it happens ALL THE TIME.

  3. With everyone and their mother now tracking their vitals on something worn around their wrists, I'm kind of surprised it's not north of 30% already.

  4. Nanomaterial wafers...

  5. Maybe Equifax will make a smart speaker/camera next!

    Now all the rest of the states need to follow suit, but with different net neutrality laws for each state.

    Wake me when you guys stop whining and start doing. We're most of North America's economy.

    Wake me when you West-coasters get your heads out of your arses and stop being so incredibly self-important and arrogant.

  8. I said SASSY words that end "ist" and "phobe."

    Reading comprehension > you.

    Oooh, what an amazingly insightful, thought-provoking response. You must be one of those "tolerant liberals" I keep hearing so much about but have yet to actually meet. It looks like the only dick here is you.

  10. But they didn't that, did they. All they did was spout platitudes designed to placate the SJW crowd.

    In the current uber-politically-correct world, placating the SJW crowd is pretty much the only thing that matters anymore. Don't do that and you are automatically a racist, sexist, xenophobe, and other sassy words that end in "ist" and "phobe."

    What the hell does this have to do with Trump or his supporters? Did you just see the word "voting" and your little knee-jerk brain immediately starting vomiting "TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP" over and over again? You're clearly a complete idiot, have Trump derangement syndrome (which, as time passes, I'm starting to believe might actually be a real thing) or were trying to be a d-bag troll and forgot to check the anonymous button. Either way you suck...go away.

  12. We're sorry we got caught on Google Promises Chrome Changes After Privacy Complaints (cnet.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Google: "We're sorry we got caught doing something evil (yet again). We'll be more careful not to get caught next time."

  13. The fear of liberal gun control is a trick the NRA plays on people like the GP.

    Um no. Your are very much the exception. Nearly all of my liberal friends are rabidly anti-gun, as are most liberal lawmakers.

    Sorry, meant to say UK, not EU. Don't want to get the Brexit-ers in a kerfuffle.

    Have the EU decree that Equifax can't do business in the EU anymore. Then they might actually realize just how insanely inexcusable their actions were.

    95% of the hardware features on ALL smartphones over $200 are basically the same now. At this point it's really just a matter of what type/quality camera(s) you want that makes them different.

    Unless we return to an single homogeneous ethnostate, yes, it is going to infect everything because it is everything. PC culture is just what people call it when those who they view as not knowing their place try to have the same consideration as their betters. If you 'stop' it, all you do is assert another PC culture in its place catering to other demographic groups.

    This is the dumbest thing I've heard this week. Go away, you SJW troll.

    No need to wonder. The U.S has already proven this is how it goes, and the E.U. is WAY more "progressive" than the United States.
