Climate change disproportionately affects liberals. If you're a corn farmer in fly-over country you have the luxury of being a climate skeptic. Condo owners in Miami on the other hand are shitting their pants right now.
It would be perceived as more homophobic. Imagine a scale starting with Anderson Cooper saying it as a 1 and with Mike Pence saying it as a 10. Colbert is around a 3 and Limbaugh is maybe a 7 or 8.
Also, there was a time not too long ago when Trump supporters could watch Jimmy Fallon, but even he goes after POTUS too much lately. Lean times indeed. Thank God for Duck Dynasty reruns.
Right, Fox viewers wanted to get back at the left for getting O'Reilly fired and saw this as an opportunity. I feel for them though, they don't have anybody to watch on late night anymore. I mean, Tucker Carlson? That is just bleak.
Any time someone uses the word "devolution" you know instantly that they don't get it. And yes I'm looking at you, that Star Trek TNG episode where the crew turns into spiders and cavemen.
Anyone who thinks the most incriminating stuff is out there isn't paying attention. He didn't fire Comey because everything was already on the table. He didn't clamp down on white house visitor logs or continue to obscure his tax filings because he has nothing more to hide. There's another shoe that's going to drop.
Trump's combination of paranoia, criminal involvement, and complete inability to keep his mouth shut is fucking amazing. There's no way this administration doesn't go down in flames. Whether it takes the GOP with it for the foreseeable future is another story, we'll just have to wait and see.
The con argument goes something like "it will make it harder for small ISPs to enter the market because they need to comply with the regulations."
But I'm not even sure small ISPs *can* enter the market anymore anyway, and if they can, how hard is it to make a provision for them in the regulations?
What does it change though? He's already showed that he will fire whoever he wants for whatever made-up reason strikes his fancy. It sounds like he's saying that agency heads will automatically be fired when the department screws up, but why would he do that when he insists on appointing screw-ups?
Was nobody held accountable before when a network got hacked?
Does it mean we're saying goodbye to Ajit Pai for the recent FCC DDoS?
Can one get Betsy DeVos sacked by hacking the Board of Education website?
I have so many questions.
It's impossible to say what it's going to take to make a Google-killer, it's obviously going to involve huge resources and AI. The barrier to entry and uneven access to the tech make it impossible for a start-up in my opinion. Maybe China will make one. Or maybe you're right and a couple of harvard kids will, but I doubt it.
It was much easier to build a better Myspace than to build a better Google. Facebook did it on a shoestring budget. A Google competitor will need big funding just to get the hardware necessary to show a POC, and nobody will fund it without seeing a POC.
Not really. At the time there were a lot of players with small marketshare operating in a contestable market (much lower entry barrier than they would face today). That project was destined to be funded. Today, a startup looking to compete with Google on search is doomed, even if they have a brilliant idea.

Name these people, please.
Flynn, for starters.
Those sound like facts. You're going to have to do better than that here,
Where bad mormons go when they die.

China also has a very male-heavy youth population. All those smart young boys with no girls around to distract them. I'm betting on them.
I just hope you feel the same way when it's your water at stake.
Let's say that all of that were true, what's your argument? That they don't deserve clean water because they litter? Help me understand that position.
They left their tents and gear behind (and yes some trash) because they were arrested. That doesn't make them bad hippies.
No maple syrup for a month?
Right, it's called investment. A solar panel lasts for 30+ years. A lump of coal lasts about 5 minutes.

I don't appreciate the obvious attempt to open a Hellmouth, just to distract us from the Russian collusion.

Most Americans pay less for electricity than anywhere else in the world and are wasteful of it as a result.

On the other hand, that's like 12 9/11's.
We are still a democracy, the problem is that half of us are idiots.

Well the prayers can't actually work of course, if it did we'd see prayer sweat shops in India.
