  1. Re:Of course it does on What Spotlighting Harassment In Astronomy Means · · Score: 1

    I tell a woman I like her new haircut? Nope - that can be taken as a sexual advance - lawsuit time.

    Yeah, but if you don't talk to her, then you're excluding her--which is also harassment.

    Yes, for the the snowflakes who consider the sentence "I disagree with you" to be hate speech, I must be a monster.

  4. Re:Of course it does on What Spotlighting Harassment In Astronomy Means · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    From one of the articles cited:

    "harassment, defined as unwelcome conduct that is based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability or genetic information."

    That's not how most sane, non-SJW's define it. "Unwelcome conduct" can be literally ANY conduct, is purely subjective, and is completely out of the control of the "perpetrator."

    Was this summary written in some sort of SJW distortion field?

  6. Re: How very Republucan... on Netflix Decides To Crack Down On VPN Users (netflix.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It's a side effect of media companies still clinging desperately to 20th century business models, with a hopelessly complex web of international agreements and licensing rights that are becoming increasingly archaic in a world with media streaming on one unified internet.

    Except most Chinatowns in the U.S. are where non-Chinese people go to eat exotic food, not a separate city-within-a-city where any non-Chinese who enter will be beaten (or worse).

    "We've decided that the only logical recourse is to hand him over to a neutral third-party for questioning," said Ecuador and Sweden.

    "Ooh, ooh, me, me! Right here!" responded the U.S.

    Couldn't they sell it instead of dumping it?

    They would probably make a lot more selling all the bullshit in that "We're just looking for grease dumpers" story as fertilizer.

  12. We must close the loudspeaker gap! on North Korea Expands Retaliatory Loudspeaker Propaganda (yonhapnews.co.kr) · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Lockheed Martin has already won the contract to build a much larger, louder loudspeaker. It will cost $40 billion, with construction spread across every Congressional district, and take an estimated 10 years to complete--but it will be worth it in the end to show the Red Menace that Uncle Sam means BUSINESS!

  13. MS, innovating new ways to piss off our customers on 'Get Windows 10' Turns Itself On and Nags Win 7 and 8.1 Users Twice a Day (infoworld.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I used to be a big fan of the Xbox. But then MS spent several years making one amazingly awful choice after another. They continued for years to insist that users have Xbox Gold to even watch Netflix (long after every other platform allowed it for free). They debuted the Xbox One with the promise that it wouldn't be about gaming but would instead be focused instead on a really kludgy TV overlay that no one gave a flying fuck about. They tried to force everyone buy a kinect with its creepy always-on mic. They tried to kill off used games sales. It's like they wanted to do everything they possibly could to turn every hardcore Xbox fanboy into a PS4 owner.

    Sometimes I think the leadership at MS just sits around all day thinking of new ways to fuck themselves. And not "fuck themselves" in a "Maybe I can wrap a belt around my neck and choke myself when I cum!" good kind of way. It's more of a "How can we personally insult and spit on every single customer we have?" kind of way.

    That chart is not showing what I'm asking for. It shows "Global Departure of Temperature from Average."

    I just need a simple list of average temps from each year, so I can do a top ten list of hottest and coldest. Not a chart, not using "departure from average" or whatever the fuck. Just just a simple list of average worldwide temps for each year going back as far as possible.

    When I would ask my grandfather what the difference was between the U.S. and Europe, he used to tell me that America was made up of the descendants of the European people who were willing to work hard and take the risk of a better life in the New World.
