Same is true of communists. Antifa, named and modeled after Antifaschistische Aktion of the '30s,have never once been involved in a peaceful rally, it always turns violent when they're involved. Always. All groups concerned at the rally deserved each other, I've no love for any of them; though it's horrible that someone actually died from getting hit by a loon in a car.
It's not marked troll anymore, but here on/., self-driving car tech has practically founded it's own religion, and you don't want to anger the priests by saying anything negative or pessimistic about the insidiously complex logistics or ramifications of the technology.
So what, exactly, was so unethical about DaMores memo that it justifies his firing? His point was that pushing women, or restricting men, into STEM fields as a form of affirmative action just because there aren't as many women as men in the fields -which incidentally doesn't automatically mean there's an bias or sexism at work either- is not a good policy. Most women, as general rule of thumb, don't care for those fields with the same fervor that men in general do. There are differences, overall. How many women as compared to men get all excited about turbocharging their hemi, for example? Of course exceptions exist but that doesn't negate the rule. Science has shown that male and female brains have somewhat different wiring, and that's perfectly logical - else why would two different sexes evolve, unless they had different functions and strengths? Some women do go into stem fields passionately, and are quite successful. But artificially forcing the issue is unethical, as are attempts to shut down any debate about it. If all people are completely equal in all talents and regards (and not just as their general value as a human being) then there's really no such thing as diversity, by definition.
"White guys like you"?? Excuse me? How is that fucking relevant? Okay, now everyone can see where you're coming from, and it's probably BLM SJW headquarters.
I guess none of these experts mean anything to you either, because they're white. Even though one is a woman. http://quillette.com/2017/08/0...
I'd have modded this up but curiously, lately I just don't get mod points anymore. Anyway, I think your post nailed it. It's easier to coral 50 steers to the ranch than 1,000.
Would it be better to just let them stay in China then,and remove those potential manufacturing jobs from the US? Isn't that what democrats complained about whenever the 2nd Bush administration cited growing jobs, that none of them were in manufacturing?
That would explain my poor event memory, my drive to work isn't horrible by a lot of people's standards but I spend about an hour and a half every day driving to and from work (combined); and I've only ever played FPSes - Doom, Quake, Half-Life, FarCry, Skyrim, Deus Ex, Rage, Wolfenstein, etc. My wife remembers all kinds of things and details and I just barely remember being there.:-(
And the fact that they're owned by the Miami Herald, which in turn is owned by the Poynter Institute for Journalism, which is openly left wing. I trust Snopes over Politifact. Politifact may bring objective facts to the table, but in the end, their final judgments are still subjective in terms of what constitutes a "mostly false vs. half true" type rating or similar, and it's in those judgments that their bias, however subtle, is often evident.
Case in point, Michelle Obama's statement that the White House was "built by slaves"; Politifact rated this "Mostly True" despite their own article citing that slaves worked in the quarry cutting and supplying raw stone for the masons to refine and lay; as well as did some of the whitewashing (painting) on the finished building. No actual mention of them doing any of the actual masonry, carpentry, woodworking, metalworking, tiling, or plasterwork, and certainly none of the architecture/design. No actual building, as the word is understood. Most or all of this was done by local and European contractors (electricity and plumbing came later, I believe).
That should reasonably earn her statement a "mostly false", or "half true" at best, as slaves were forced to work primarily in the capacity of suppliers, not builders. Her statement also entirely discounts the work of the non-slaves involved and overall gives a very incorrect impression; in addition, FWIW, the slaves were paid for their work as well, though they were not given a choice in the matter of doing the work. Somehow, they saw fit to give this a "Mostly True".
He's not accusing them of "wrongthink"; he's accusing them of, "no think", "blindly follow crowd", and refusal (not inability) to debate or listen. There's a significant difference, but you just wanted to counterattack with a variant of the ever mature, "I'm rubber and you're glue, what you say bounces off me and sticks to you".
More like the luxury SUVs, actually. I have a 2011 Grand Cherokee, it handles speed bumps and intersections where you're crossing over a road with a very pronounced crown just fine. Actually, there's more of the latter in my neighborhood but they have the same effect as speed bumps. OTOH, I see guys flying across them in their Honda civics and scraping their frame all the time. Human nature in a nutshell; the people who need to drive more slowly don't, and those who don't, do.;-)
Really? Because I see an awful lot of people driving their big SUVs with + 12" clearance in my neighborhood at 2 mph, tenderly crawling over speed bumps as if they were driving a 2015 Corvette. It's kinda funny.
Because of the more dense population of the coastal cities, which tend to be democrat, and California, in general. But none of the choices were remotely ideal.
Pretty much. Well, that, and the leaked Podesta emails. Minor stuff, really, which leaves you shaking your head at all the media hysteria. (It's mostly "payback" for the Benghazi hearings). Meanwhile, no mention of "Pissgate" fake news which targeted trump.
Even with a pseudonym, insults are usually taken personally, any day here at/. is evidence enough of that (though some even post a valid email address with their account).:-) But the key thing you point out is, easily accessible interaction between utter strangers is now a very common daily thing now, where those people have no proximity to each other, haven't even any common friends, and will likely never meet in the future. That's a large change from the era of the telephone or walkie-talkie. Probably the closest thing from the past is the CB radio or Ham radio, but those users constituted a much smaller, specialized, and older base. The article points the finger at the smartphone though, when really the medium that allows this is the Internet itself, whether smartphones or desktops, it really makes no difference.
My first concern was that it'll actually do what they say, not keep logs, etc. What's in it for Mozilla? Corporate altruism is extremely rare, or even logical from a business standpoint. Maybe it's providing more PR visibility for Firefox since it uses that domain name? That seems weak though.
I get very good photos on my iPhone6, and even the video is not bad at all for something that just slips in your pocket and you have on your person all the time. Obviously it's not as good in low light situations as an SLR, but what can you expect from a phone? In most situations, it takes very nice shots. Also, regards post shot, it immediately creates a thumbnail in the bottom left hand of the screen of the picture you just took, a quick tap brings it up full screen. I found going back and forth on my (work) Galaxy4 a lot more troublesome than that, and I might add the camera on that thing absolutely sucks ass. Maybe not a fair comparison though, it's an older phone.
Trump impeaches Trump, then has him removed from the Presidency.
But seriously, this admin has higher turnover than a freakin' MacDonalds. Though in the particular case of Scaramucci, I fully support this move. Hey, fugettaboutit.
Your very mention of snowflakes and SJWs, and Hillary's emails in this context count as 2 "whataboutisms" here (2 shots) in addition to the mentions themselves, which adds 2 and 3 shots respectively. You're due for 7 shots, ya alky.
If you can afford a $50,000 car, you are rich. If you can afford a 2000+ sqft home, you are rich.
That's not "rich", that's "upper middle class" in my area (I'm more middle-middle class). And there are plenty of drug dealers living in the hood who drive around in more expensive cars than that, yet their homes are hovels.. are they "rich"?
The simple truth is there are two Americas. There is the one you live in, and the one they live in.
And this is precisely where the argument breaks down and reveals it's class warfare aspirations. This genuinely is a case where American financial status is not "binary" but a spectrum of wealth or income. And while the middle class is shrinking, it still exists. . And to some degree in the middle, rich or poor are arbitrary and subjective definitions anyway.

They don't have a real argument unless they create one, thus the strawman approach.
