Remember, since we're not perfect, that puts us on *exactly* the same level as people who kill people for being Polish and conduct bayonet practice with POWs.
The fact that you think that Slashdot has any reach these days and thus would be worth the slender resources of foreign intelligence agencies speaks volumes. Podesta's Russian "backstab legend" is serving you poorly by allowing you to tune out dissenting voices by calling them dirty foreigners. Hey, suits me, the 2018 elections are only a year away. Never interrupt your enemy when she is making a mistake.
Which had more influence on American politics: $100k of facebook ads, half of which occurred after Election Day, or Bill Clinton accepting $500k from Russia, which caught the FBI's attention. Clinton gave a 90-minute speech to Renaissance Capital, a Kremlin connected bank that was promoting the Uranium One Deal's stock.
You know who the bagman was who took samples of the uranium to the Russians for inspection? Robert Mueller. Yes, THAT Mueller, the one who's investigating Trump and the one who wrote the memo in 2002 about fake WMD in Iraq, thus justifying the invasion on false pretenses.
Actually, I was surprised by just how not-great nicotine is. I had always heard about how addictive it was, etc. Come to find out, it's not that great of a drug. You get a little hit of pleasure but that's it. And the more you do, the less pleasure you get. I had thought such a formidable drug would be better. And the addiction part isn't really that hard to kick. You just have to want to quit.
One thing I did find, though, is that smoking and drinking go together like peanut butter and jelly. What a good combo. And a smoke after a good meal is sublime. But other than that, it's just not in the same class with pot, much less real drugs.
That sure is a poor metaphor for concepts that have been around forever. You know that idea has only been around for a decade or two, and yet it's some kind of eternal meaning?
My favorite was when they shouted "You can't trust Kapersky! Dirty foreigners!" Yeah, more like they have the US antivirus makers in their pocket and Kapersky isn't under their control. Honestly the three letter agencies are more of a threat to me as a US citizen than any foreign intelligence.
This isn't realistic at all - I didn't see a single duplicate story in there. Obviously the AI is keeping track of what it said before, which as we all know is not how Slashdot operates. The editors don't read their own site. Remember the last time it changed hands and the vow was no more dupes? LOL.
The "melting pot" is a discredited racist concept from the 1970s. It was long ago replaced by multiculturalism. Instead of immigrants losing their unique cultures and becoming generic "American", now we have a vibrant diversity where people keep their cultures after becoming US citizens. It doesn't do you any credit to keep beating dead horses like "melting pot'.
Ah, yes, the good old "measure America against an imaginary Utopia, instead of measuring it against all the other countries that exist in reality." That argument never gets old, because it is literally unachievable and you never get to stop bashing America with it.
Utopia literally means, "no place". It is impossible to get there no matter what.
Oops! Looks like six trillion is such a huge number that nobody even knows how to represent it without scientific notation. THAT'S how much money America could have spent improving itself, but didn't. Instead the money went to harm countries that totally hate us now, so our elites could play world police. It's high time it came to a screeching halt.
Yeah, it's about time we gave that crap up. We did a piss-poor job, and neglected our own people to do it. You'd think spending $6 trillion dollars (that's $6,000,000,000) on international affairs would fix things, but they're as broken as ever. That money is spent, it's never coming back, and we badly need to fix our own country and help our own people. We need to stop meddling abroad and mind our own business. The world hates us for a reason.
Someone brought irrelevant "TRUMP WHAARRRGARBL" nonsense into something this article had nothing to do with and I figured one good turn deserved another.
Proven bullshit? WTF? It was in the New York Times in 2015. She approved the sale and the Russians kindly, for no apparent related reason, donated millions to the Clinton Foundation. Since we know for a fact that Russia likes us it's totally understandable that they'd do that. They even gave Bill Clinton a cool half mil to make a speech in Moscow, which was certainly unrelated.
Towers are last century's tech. You think any of Apple's designers would be caught dead creating something like that? The future is tablets, my friend. You think a designer is going to get her next job with "designed a tower PC" on her resume? She'd be laughed out of Linkedin.
Come on, we are talking about people who called Trump literally Hitler. The American Left keeps dumbing down the definition of "Hitler" just as the American Left dumbs down practically everything else, in its never-ending quest to paint everyone and everything who is not staunchly on the American Left, as the epitome of evil.
Meanwhile, the American Left is still infatuated with the ideas of Karl Marx - whose philosophies quite literally inspired and bred the tyrants of Communism. Remember Communism? The gulags? The Holodomor? Most of the American Left are either deliberately ignorant about, or maliciously obfuscatory of, the grievousness of Communism's record.
An ongoing record, I might add. One which puts Hitler's in perspective - because compared to Lenin, Stalin, or Chairman Mao, Hitler was a piker. Nobody manufactures mass graves like the Marxist folk. And today's American Left is filled with Marxists, either explicitly card-carrying, or implicitly card-carrying.
Doubtless I will be piously rebutted by a Millennial wearing a Che t-shirt.
Well, it's not like we have any more uranium for our clean nuclear energy, as Hillary colluded with Russia so they could take over a strategic NA uranium supplier.
Uranium One's chairman used his family foundation to make four donations totaling $2.35 million. Those contributions were not publicly disclosed by the Clintons, despite an agreement Mrs. Clinton had struck with the Obama White House to publicly identify all donors.
And shortly after the Russians announced their intention to acquire a majority stake in Uranium One, Mr. Clinton received $500,000 for a Moscow speech from a Russian investment bank with links to the Kremlin that was promoting Uranium One stock.
At the time, both Rosatom and the United States government made promises intended to ease concerns about ceding control of the company's assets to the Russians. Those promises have been repeatedly broken, records show.
American political campaigns are barred from accepting foreign donations. But foreigners may give to foundations in the United States.
Why on Earth would we want the Chinese to destroy our solar power industry with their dirty panels? You realize there are no environmental regulations over there? Why should we be assisting in more pollution no matter where it happens on the globe?
Ah yeah, that reminds me of when I got out of Magic: the Gathering. "Ten bucks? For a pack of Legends! You realize the retail price on that pack is $3.95? Count me out! Later, fools!"
Those two-letter abbreviations were created by the Post Office to help them sort mail, and they don't even need them any more because everything is done by ZIP code. Wash, Ala, are fine, they're more human-readable. Quick, what's the difference between ME and MS? Or CT and CO? Yeah, exactly.
In 1960, only a handful of low status people were arguing that âoesodomy lawsâ should be repealed, and they were all insisting that câ(TM)mon, obviously it would never go as far as *gay marriage*, weâ(TM)re just saying you shouldnâ(TM)t be put in jail for it. Meanwhile, fifty years later people are enforcing a rule that if youâ(TM)re not on board with gay marriage, you shouldnâ(TM)t be allowed to hold a high-status job.
It's because those non-popular trenchcoat-wearing kids went and shot up a school full of children. It is impossible to overstate the cultural effect of Columbine. It was HUGE. Wierd kids went from being strange to being outright deadly. The whole 'thing' was they wanted revenge and weren't going to flush people's heads down the toilet, they were going to murder.
The problem was that HUMANITY LANDING A SPACE PROBE ON A COMET was overshadowed by shrill voices that shouted for his head because of his tasteless shirt. I mean, a towering accomplishment like that, and it got pushed off the top news by a fashion story. It created a hostile environment for women in science, it wasn't welcoming to little girls that wanted to be scientists, etc.etc. Your crack about the safe space is likely you smarting from getting criticized for safe spaces and wishing to make others hurt in the same way. It doesn't work, for right-wingers there are no safe spaces, anywhere. Literally not one exists.
Yup, that's the problem, isn't it? They're not making it better for users, they're making it better for Google. Who cares about what the users get, the real point is to make Google employees' life easier.
OK well they've changed it then. During the scandal you couldn't get Google to suggest anything. Obviously they blacklisted the term. Oh wait, I said on Google's homepage, don't know if that's different.

Google maps employs ex-Apple designers, options are bad and need to be removed in favor of a least common denominator, one size fits all solution.
