  1. Do you get extra unemployment benefits with that? on Yahoo Called Its Layoffs a "Remix." Don't Do That. · · Score: 1

    You get an extra 10%/month if you've been remixed instead of merely laid off! Yahoo!!

  2. Elon Musk is NOT your boyfriend, Slashdotters on Cheap Gas Fuels Switch From Electric Cars To SUVs · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    You know, I used to think the unabashed Steve Jobs worship around Slashdot was embarassing. But compared to the number of Slashdotters walking around today with Elon Musk's spooge in their mouths, Jobs was positively REVILED around here.

    P.S. We secretly own Whole Foods. You dumb fucks have been giving your money to us all along.

    Deregulation already worked so well for their housing market back in the 90's.

    If you didn't like what a political candidate was saying would you send them death threats

    No, because that would be illegal.

    or perhaps start to scream abuse at them whenever they appear in public?

    Their definition of "abuse" or mine?

  7. Re:Welcome to corporate future on Twitter Rolls Out New Anti-Abuse Tools · · Score: 1

    Hate speech can be any form of expression regarded as offensive to racial, ethnic and religious groups

    So depictions of Mohammad and bad-mouthing Jesus are indeed defined as hate speech then.

    Okay, just checking.

    Can I be the one who decides who is undesirable and gets silenced?

  9. Re:Welcome to corporate future on Twitter Rolls Out New Anti-Abuse Tools · · Score: 1

    Everyone knows what is and is not hate speech

    Who is this "Everyone"? Don't think I've ever met that bloke. But I do remember an "Everyone" in the middle east who said that eating pork was bad. I guess he speaks for all of us, then.

  10. Re:Welcome to corporate future on Twitter Rolls Out New Anti-Abuse Tools · · Score: 1

    I'd say 99% of people I've met in my life can tell what hate speech is when they read it.

    And 99% of Muslims believe that showing a depiction of Mohammad is hate speech.
    And 99% of Christians believe that openly mocking or attacking Jesus is hate speech.

    So may I presume that both of those will be banned as clear cases of hate speech?

  11. Re:Wonderful. on Twitter Rolls Out New Anti-Abuse Tools · · Score: 2

    Rape and death threats were already banned (and are, in fact, illegal). This sounds way broader than that.

    If you can't make a point without using hate speech then remain quiet.

    Who get's to define "hate speech"? Is it *me*? Oh, pleeaaasse let it be me!

  13. What a bizarre statement on Twitter Rolls Out New Anti-Abuse Tools · · Score: 5, Insightful

    "Freedom of expression means little as our underlying philosophy if we continue to allow voices to be silenced because they are afraid to speak up."

    So to protect against silencing, you're going to silence?

  14. Holy shit on Baltimore Police Used Stingrays For Phone Tracking Over 25,000 Times · · Score: 0

    There are only about 50,000 TOTAL ARRESTS a year in Baltimore. So for every 16 arrests, there is one Stingray use?? They must be regularly tapping the phone of everyone even suspected of being a felon in the fucking city.

    noone will be able to buy the stuff made in the robot factories if we're all unemployed or minimum wage serfs.

    We'll just export it all to the counties where the unions and government actually protect their workers and put the long-term common good of the people ahead of powerful corporations' profits for the next quarter.

  17. Re:Well done! on George Lucas Building Low-Income Housing Next Door To Millionaires · · Score: 5, Insightful

    That's a nice idea, but the reality is usually that the rich people just move away when the poor people come in (especially the ones with families). No way are rich daddy and trophy wife letting their little girl go to school with that rabble!

    if you have the money, and you can help other people, specially poor people, just do it!

    Not to be cynical, but it sounds more like a bargaining ploy to me. I suspect he's more interested in having the city back down in fear and let him build a studio than actually helping the poor.

    It's the implication that they will be using taxpyer dollars for a school that provides STEM specialized education to girls ONLY.

  24. Can we get some all-white/all-black schools too? on LAUSD OKs Girls-Only STEM School, Plans Boys-Only English Language Arts School · · Score: 5, Funny

    First of all, I would just like to say that I applaud this move on the part of the L.A. school district. In the spirit of these groundbreaking projects, I would like to propose a similar measure here in Alabama that would help advance learning among our students as well. My new initiative would launch a series of White-only and Black-only schools that would better serve to the individual needs of students and help them to feel more comfortable in schools where they can feel free to speak freely and learn in a less hostile environment.
