  1. Re:I'm confused on Trump: I'll Ditch TPP Trade Deal on Day One of My Presidency (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    These trade agreements aren't 'free trade capitalism', that's what bi-lateral agreements are.

    What you're confused about is the meaning of 'right' and 'left', and thinking everybody on one side or the other is a damn hive mind.

  2. Re: 75% of california's poeple are brain dead on One Third of California's Trees Are Dead (sfgate.com) · · Score: 2

    Pretty certain most of the issues surrounding Nuclear Power in CA have to do with, you know, fault lines. Not 'hippies'.

    I know that's now what you read about in the 'news', because rational thinkers hardly ever make it there.

  3. Re:I"m a liberal socialist on Steve Bannon Suggests Having Too Many Asian Tech CEOs Undermines 'Civic Society' (theverge.com) · · Score: 2

    So anybody 'foreign born' is now 'on an H-1B visa'.

    How about this, blow your racist bullshit out of your own ass all day long, it doesn't make you smart.

    "70-80% of tech workers here on H1-B visas"

    What actual fucking reality are you from with bullshit numbers like that?

  5. The thing you've missing is no where, in any of the definitions you've brought up, does race have anything at all to do with 'civic society'.

    You can have a 'civic society' with 99.99% of all CEO's of every company being Asian. It's totally fine, and doesn't destroy 'civic society' in any way.

  6. You mean like all the migrant labor we have already in this country? Even if you get rid of the 'illegals' (which good luck) there's still plenty here legally that do this kind of work.

  7. I'm not entirely sure you fully understand supply and demand.

    Nobody is going to pay 2x the price for an iPhone, so now the competitors get a chance to take a whack at the 'big dog' exploiting low cost labor.

  8. I'm pretty sure we figured out how to grow Cotton here in the US at some point in our history.

  9. Re:That's the funniest thing so far ..... on Facebook on its Fake News Problem: 'There's So Much More We Need To Do' (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    That's Ohio and the midwest son. Your problem is the other border.

  10. I'm not sure if you understand the difference between "false" and "boring".

    Wait, there's stories on slashdot saying Trump 'bought' the election? Did I miss something, or did you just post false tin foil hat bullshit in an article about false fucking news stories.

  13. Re:That's the funniest thing so far ..... on Facebook on its Fake News Problem: 'There's So Much More We Need To Do' (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Are we seriously using FaceBook feeds to generalize entire populations now? Is that where we're at?

    Because I'm pretty certain there was a large segment of people who were utterly convinced after Obama won that we'd be a Socialist workers paradise by now and nobody would ever be able to buy a Gun ever again.

  14. Re: Trump vote = fuck you to dismissing whites. on Russia Says it Was in Touch With Trump Campaign During Election (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    I mean, if we're calling people skilled (and holding degree's) in tech 'coal miners' there's something definitely odd going on here.

  15. Violent rhetoric leads to violent responses. That doesn't take somebody with a degree to figure out.

    Spend less time worrying about who you vote for and your skin color and write a better resume.

    Um, do you not understand just about everything Trump did was equally staged? He knows how Television works.

    I don't think anybody actually knows what happens if those are dissolved. Plenty of people will tell you they do, but I'm pretty sure they're full of shit.

  19. Re:Whoa on Russia Says it Was in Touch With Trump Campaign During Election (cnbc.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    There's poor uneducated people on both the left and right, and ignoring the violence by members of the KKK (and their ilk) over the recent years is kind of insane. In my area most people are conservative trump supporters, so most crime is done by, *gasp* conservative trump supporters.

    It's been reported on, maybe you just put on the blinders.

    The fact that this is 'insightful' is also kind of insane.

  20. Re:How many times does someone have to lie? on Russia Says it Was in Touch With Trump Campaign During Election (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Yeah but we didn't elect that one, so it doesn't really reinforce the point that we're generally fine with liars.

    Don't get all butthurt for no reason. It might even be against the law soon!

    We just elected a pathological liar supported by people spreading completely made up news through social media. So, yeah?

  22. Re:A leader who defuses the situation? on Russia Says it Was in Touch With Trump Campaign During Election (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    You do of course recognize that Russia isn't some rational diplomatic actor at the moment right?

    Annexing neighbors and posturing militarily has to have some sort of a reaction other than "let's talk it out".

    I mean, to be fair here. He's done nothing short of put all of those features on full display. You can say "hey I voted on policy" but you also own that shit too.

    Just like I own the fact Clinton would make a garbage sysadmin and all the insider BS.

  24. Re: And to think the DNC wanted to face Trump... on Donald Trump Wins US Presidency (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    I voted for Clinton.

    You don't need a 'safe space' to hide in and twitter to whine, you literally need to get on the fucking streets and make sure you're heard.

  25. Re:NYC protest is pretty big on Silicon Valley Investors Call For California To Secede From the US After Trump Win (theguardian.com) · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    If you supported Trump kindly go fuck yourself, and I'll take the moderation results of this post. If not then I apologize to you, but not the man who decided to run a campaign based on sowing as much hatred as absolutely possible.

    This is what happens when you run that kind of campaign.
