That term just hits my funny bone for some odd reason. That'd be an awesome name for a monster from a sci-fi horror movie, sounds a little better than just, "The Thing" I suppose.
Says the AC pussy. The fact that you actually think I'm a russian troll only proves what a moron you are, and reinforces the fact that nothing you say matters. Perhaps you're a chinese troll, for that matter.
Where's your evidence that Russian "funded" any of these right wing groups? If anyone wants to weaken the West, it's not the right wing groups. Left wing are far more likely to be anti-military, to have a "live and let live" attitude that ensures Russia (and others) can do whatever they want around the world, to allow larges swaths of the country to lower it's quality of life and increase government dependency, open it's borders, abolish ICE, and engage in divisive identity politics and foment guilt and anger.
First, you're wrong about the coining of the term. So, fake news right off the bat. Typical.
Second, it's ironic that a heavily biased, factually anorexic screaming liberal rag like Salon should complain about a fake news. Snopes has lost some credibility as well. They research what they want to, and ignore what they really don't want to touch; tilting the whole playing field; and like any fact-checking site that provides some kind of summary judgment, the final word is still vulnerable to subjectivity and abuse, as is their choice as what to actually cover in the first place. Democrats generate more fake news by far, via the mainstream media, with it's now open embrace of the democrat party (we all stop pretending now), is full of rotten "facts". How many times have they gotten it wrong in just the past year? Covington, Smollet, collusion, Kavanaugh.. and long before that, the NBC editing of the Trevon Martin 911 tape, or perpetuating the Mike Brown "hands up don't shoot lie" that even Obama's DoJ said the forensic evidence disproved. CNN wrongly tying Anthony Scaramucci to a Russian investment fund. NYT linking political incitement and the 2011 shooting of Giffords. (No link was ever established. ) That's not even the tip of the iceberg. The Russian Collusion tinfoil hat conspiracy to try to de-legitimatize the presidency is the biggest fraud of all. But they say, an offense is the best defense, so the Clinton and DNC cronies have gone on the attack to keep Trump and the DoJ busy so as to avoid prosecution themselves. The whole FISA warrant and fake dossier paid by FusionGPS should be enough to see serious charges brought up. That should be our new Watergate, but it's not.
You can all downvote me to hell but the truth remains unchanged.
Sleep is underrated. Those who say, "Eh, I'll sleep when I'm dead" may find themselves sleeping sooner than they thought they would. The brain, heart, and body need downtime, or at least low power mode, regularly. That doesn't mean someone needs to sleep 10 hours a day though either.
The given example was poor: there was a huge cost in lives sacrificed willingly.
That's true. I can't fathom how anyone would see that as "no cost".
If instead, a similar amount of money were invested in helping countries instead of threatening them, we would be loved and wouldn't need a military.
You can't be that naive. It reminds me of the couple that insisted hate was a false construct and then proceeded to get themselves killed by ISIS. Humans will always have motivations to covet, attack, and take from other humans, whether you're nice to them or not. We wouldn't be "loved", we'd just as likely be "used". Every country needs a military. Being nice to people does not stop them from wanting your resources and taking them by force.
You beat me to it, I was going to mention Niven. I think it was part of his Gil Hamilton series, the guy with the psychokinetic arm. It's super creepy that this has essentially become a real thing, but sanctioned and committed by a huge government rather than a black market gang.
Huh.. I might've been trying to create an alias of some sort in my account, I don't quite remember because that was around 12 years ago.. but your example works out fine, I gave it a shot and was successful in seeing the + bit in the "To" field. Which is all it needs, really.
Then you're missing the number of ACs (and named accounts but mostly ACs) also posting extreme left wing rhetoric. It's gone way up on both counts. I've been here about 18 years, and while I agree slashdot was usually left leaning, I think the way the left is now tilting extremely to the left (AOC, Ilhan Omar, open borders, abolish the electoral college, 90% taxes, everything is racist and sexist, etc.) has gotten more people to move more center or even right.
It's not a "quirk", it's the way the system works. We're a constitutional republic, not a democracy. If you go by state vote/electoral votes, which is how the country was wisely designed, than Hillary got squashed.
Each individual state maintains a degree of sovereignty, thus we don't go by general population, we're too large a country for that to work in the best interests of everyone.
Well, this could be met with an outcry of "sexism".. but probably not, since there doesn't really seem to be any way to twist this into a form of feminine victimhood to exploit. But I've read no shortage of liberals and feminists claiming there is no intrinsic difference between male and female brains, only hormones. So are hormones supposed to solely responsible? The FA seems to suggest it's more than that.
Sounds like you need to take your own advice. But maybe first you should realize much is out there to read is just propaganda, approved by your masters.
If the Iranians were cruising around in the Atlantic in neutral waters, we'd have no right to actually attack and take them hostage. We might not like it, we might launch ships to keep an eye on them, but attacking, boarding, and taking hostages is an act of war. We have long had a presence in the mid-east and that's not going to change. We were begged by Kuwait and Saudi Arabia to be there in the early 90s. Making excuses for a terrorist-through-proxy supporting, theocratic nation like Iran tells me everything I need to know about you and your viewpoint.
And, we had just as narcissistic a president the last time. He never took blame or responsibility for anything, and took credit for everything. Didn't really do much. Every other sentence he uttered began with "I". The difference was, muh racism, he was venerated no matter what he did or didn't do; won the Nobel Prize for no reason other than being elected as a minority.
Trump is a bit of a nuisance, no doubt about that. Most people would be happy not to hear any further news about him and most leaders of the rest of the free world avoid him, because he cannot be taken seriously, and instead have resorted to administrative-level diplomacy
The question is: Why? Why would anyone except a few billionaires continue to support him? The damage this presidency causes to your country will take decades to repair, if it can be repaired at all, and the international balance of power has already shifted away from the US to China, Russia, and the EU. On top of that, the US/UK alliance is broken and the UK is leaving the EU. I just can't figure out what would motivate anyone to support any of this, this amount of self-destruction make no sense. Let me be clear: I perfectly understand why people voted for Trump in the first place, what I don't get is how anyone could support such an obviously retarded, illiterate narcissist moron now after all the damage he's done and all that idiocy from him. It makes no sense.
Define "damage". Making European nations finally pay into NATO what they were obligated to pay?? How terrible. He, like many other americans, are sick of the US constantly being belittled by Europe, as they have been for the past 19 years, yet paying more than our fair share for *their* protection.
How much credibility and respect did we have in the world during Obama, when Russian planes buzzed our ships and Iranian fast boats harassed our navy every 3 weeks, and even took hostages, which Obama rewarded them for like an idiot. Notice how that shit has pretty much stopped. Obviously you're anti-Brexit, pro Eu/pro Globalist, so you're going to push that narrative.
Prime is also good if you like documentaries. There are a lot on England, Scotland, Medieval times, that sort of thing, which I like. There's certainly no shortage of "C" rated stuff, but all in all it's worth it. All of modern Dr Who is available, and for the wife, Downington Abbey. I use Netflix too, never tried Hulu though.
Hopefully you're just being facetious for a laugh, but it's hard to tell this day and age.
But to answer anyway: as far as I can tell, he wasn't shaking, crying, screaming at the sky, or seeking literal counseling. He simply stated the modern day situation as he sees it and pointed out some hypocrisies. When 'progressives' seriously attempt to equate the two enormously different reactions to 'throw it back in their face' it's just beyond absurd, it's kind of the equivalent to "I'm rubber and you're glue" in maturity as well as effectiveness.
She wasn't willing to negotiate one iota, and this is just an opinion piece you've cited. Might as well be the Huff Post editorial board. Oh wait, they'e gone!
Slashdot Mirror
Did everyone miss the sarcasm here? I believe he was backhandedly referring to the Stuxnet affair, not that I'm sympathetic.

Hey there Mr. 666, as an aside, did you know there was a Son of Satan comic? Marvel ran it in the mid-seventies.
You beat me to it, I was going to mention Niven. I think it was part of his Gil Hamilton series, the guy with the psychokinetic arm.
