"on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability or disease"
I don't see "political views" listed there. Also,
Lol, so naive.
Don't you know that saying "I like Donald Trump" these days is the equivalent of saying "I hate all Muslims" and is therefore a hate crime? Or that going to a feminist rally and holding up a sign that says "I disagree with feminism" creates a hostile environment for women and is therefore not only a hate crime, but also a form gender discrimination and also rape?
I wish I were joking. That's how far the left that I was once proud to be a part of has sunk in recent years.
For anyone who thinks that the parent is exaggerating and who hasn't been following just how far down the rabbit-hole things have gone on the far-left (the ideology that dominates Silicon Valley these days, sadly), you should probably read up on topics like "Stare Rape" (and how it's not only hate speech, but also rape):
Seems odd you can’t voice a dissenting opinion without what amounts to threatening violence to express your political opinion.
This rule won't be used to ban users who threaten violence. It will be used to ban those all who disagree with the orthodox radical-leftist ideology of Silicon Valley SJW's. "Hate speech" has long-ago been broadened on the radical left to not only include speech which ACTUALLY threatens violence, but all speech which the hearer BELIEVES to be threatening, or intimidating, or to create a "hostile environment," or to be even remotely critical of them, etc, etc.
In other words, it won't be used against posts saying "I'm going to kill you" (which are already illegal). It's going to be used against any post that disagrees with a very specific radical ideology.
Everybody wants the cool job of being one of the original coders. Nobody wants the not-so-cool job of actually maintaining it over the long-term, writing documentation for it, supporting it, etc. That's what often separates the OSS stuff from the commercial stuff, especially over the long-haul (and why companies are willing to spend extra money on commercial, proprietary software even when an OSS alternative exists).
From what I understand, one of the problems that game companies face in these situations is that they're often not the only party involved. Many games have assets that require royalties be paid to third parties (music compositions, voice performances, etc.). So even if they want to "look the other way" and tolerate these remakes, they face legal action and sanctions from third-parties (like SAG-AFTRA and other representatives) if artists get wind that the publisher is allowing the unauthorized distribution of their game without proper royalty payments.
Hey, if you believe in a major project enough to work on it, knowing that at any time it could be quashed and never see the light of day--then I salute your passion.
In the U.S. we already have entire cities that are below sea level. Fortunately, we have these things called dikes, levees, and cofferdams that we can build when we need to to protect them from actually being underwater (as long as they're properly built and maintained). So even if sea levels do rise as predicted, these plants aren't going to be flooded unless for some bizarre reason we allow them to be flooded.
With all their efforts concentrated on their original series, it seems like their movie and TV offerings already shrink every month already, without any compression.
Apparently Steam has a trading feature, which exists for some reason. You can't use it for selling used games. It's only for "gifting" games and digital items.
Nope, no one could have foreseen that a system like that would be catnip for hackers and scammers.
And they wonder why I won't give them my credit card number.
I would download something from the Pirate Bay any day over a site like CNET's download.com. At least with Pirate Bay, there is a CHANCE a program doesn't come with malware.
Trust us to not misuse the data. Trust us to act according to the Constitution, even though there is absolutely no oversight to make us. Trust us to secure the data so it can't be hacked. Trust us to never use any of it as evidence against you, since it was obtained without a warrant. Trust us to never use it to blackmail you.
He's just saying whatever it takes to get the nomination in an increasingly radical party environment.
All he's REALLY interested in in getting big tax breaks for himself and his business/rich buddies. If he can do that by winning the Presidency, fine. If (more likely), he's just putting himself into a nice bargaining position to demand support of those cuts from whoever wants his endorsement later, that's fine too.
I actually did take the time to look at it, and nope, no nuclear. Just a bunch of vague pie-in-the-sky bullshit. No real practical solutions, just repeating that man-made climate is bad and we must do something about it (the "something" being unspecified). Just some meaningless bullshit for countries that will affirm it wholeheartedly, but actually *do* fuck all.
Be it resolved that bad things are bad and good things are good.
I'm too lazy to read it, but does it even MENTION nuclear power? Because any climate change plan that doesn't include nuclear as a major component of a carbon-neutral energy policy isn't worth using as toilet paper.
The environmentalists are going to complain it doesn't go far enough and the politicians in all of the countries that matter are just going to ignore it or cheat it.

Yeah, we all hate it when other people disagree with us. So to be safe, maybe we should just ban all speech, period.
Better yet, just shut down Twitter altogether. Only way to be sure.
So may I presume that all SJW's who try to silence all dissenting opinions to their ideology will be banned?

Says the AC.
Thus, Russia will have a very expensive space program for the next decade, but the money spent will not accomplish much of anything new.
So, just like the U.S. then?

Is that a real journal? Because it sounds like something that would give me +5% radiation resistance perk in Fallout 4.

But hey, alarmism sells.
Great. Now we just need to find some not-crooked people to run.
WeMedia is...
A less uriney version of WeeMedia?

I was contemplating upgrading recently. And I don't see any reason NOT to. System requirements are the same as 7 and 8.1.
Any reason I should stop MS from upgrading me?

Nothing to see here. Move along.
"Shilling nuclear"?!?
Were you born a fucking an obtuse moron, or did you parents have to teach you?
