Google wants you to constantly update your pages. Static pages that are finished, that sit around unchanged for years, are not attractive to Google. They want churn, they want you doing the latest greatest, they want you spending money. Because that's good for them.
Yes, but it's so emotionally satisfying to look down at poor people and insult them for being racist. It makes us look good by contrast: us tolerant people on one side, and the deplorable morons on the other. It turns out that punching down on powerless people feels awesome. No wonder it was banned.
Why would we want to be global leader any more? The world made it quite clear that they hate our guts. They did not ask, they demanded that we stop oppressing them. Why can't China have its time in the sun? America needs to attend to America right now, we're hurting bad and we don't have time for this world leader shit any more. We suck at it too, all we did was start war after war. I look forward to a time when the world likes us again.
This is why you don't get a bad reputation. Microsoft knew what they were doing and didn't care. A lot of people in tech, including me, suffered under their reign. If the stench of their foul deeds follows them for decades, well, that's their own fault. Following that strategy made them into the megabillion dollar success that they are today. And here they are following the same strategy again. Have they apologized? Showed remorse? Paid reparations? If not why should anyone believe that the tiger changed its stripes?

We have seen this so many times from Microsoft. This strategy made them a successful megabillion dollar company, so it's completely understandable why they keep using it.
Journalists, with their usual fact-checking rigor, use "bitcoin" as a word for any digital currency. Even when capitalizing it as a proper noun. If they get things like this wrong, just imagine what they get wrong when they write about the government.
We live in a progressive society where just because things are better than yesterday is meaningless. We don't measure ourselves by how far we've come, we measure ourselves by how far we have to go. And we've got a long, long way to go before we can consider ourselves a just, fair society. Much more criticism is necessary before we can get there, and none of us reading this will ever see the day arrive. You're not going to get away with pulling this "we're better than Somalia" crap.
Look, this ridiculous Russophibia has got to go. Blaming TEH ROOSHINS for every thing bad that happens in the world has got to come to a stop. It's not healthy. I understand that the media has been running a campaign to whip up hysteria against Russia, and I'm not surprised it's having an effect. But it's just ridiculous to blame the scary foreigners for everything. It's amazing such an old trick is still working, but that's humans for you. Be sure to check under your bed for TEH ROOSHINS before you go to sleep tonight.
But saving the planet is far more important than any temporary trade problem. Obama is willing to sacrifice our children's future for a fleeting advantage for US manufacturing? It sounds like something Trump would do.
And that "different from everything they've been experiencing" for white babies is black people. Is it any wonder we have the systemic structural racism problem we do? It perpetuates itself automatically in families where white babies are raised by white adults.
"it is safer to stick with what you know is OK than to risk something that you don't have experience with." Dude, why are you making excuses for racists? We don't need to be making their lives easier. We need to be driving them out. The whole idea of diversity is to make people comfortable with things they don't have experience with. Please stop repeating these outdated shibboleths.
I'm afraid that's not true. These ideas are sticky in a lot of people's minds, especially the uneducated, auto-didacts, and the not fully educated. We let them see these ideas, they're going to believe them despite the ridiculous conclusions to which they lead, and before we know it the trains are running on time to the camps.
The best thing we can do is attempt to inoculate people beforehand by crapping all over the ideas before anyone sees them, and the next best thing is to eliminate them from the public square. It really helps to see advocates of these vile ideas unable to speak without hired thugs to protect them.
Negative, studies have shown that white babies as young as six months cry when shown black faces, and smile when shown white faces. It's inborn and unmodifiable.
OK, nobody is saying to trust the media without independently researching their claims. We all know to think critically. I challenge you to do your own independent research about Giovanni Gentile, where he came from intellectually, and what he thought. This article would be a good start.
Stories are better, books are better, and movies are better if they cocked you off your axis and you were completely disoriented and you'd really have to rethink everything. You're about to embark on an educational odyssey that's going to challenge you deeply and make you question everything you ever learned. Good luck! It's not as common as it should be that independent thinkers are really challenged and forced outside their comfort zone.
So, you're expected to pay the real costs of your pollution instead of externalizing them, and you're complaining? You should be proud to do so, and tell the world about it. You get to practice what you preach, which is a satisfaction that money can't buy.
Does Canada not have H1Bs? Does Canada not have sanctuary cities? Does Canada not have a welcoming policy for refugees from the entire world? Why aren't people flocking to staff these industries? Someone explain, I don't get it. #welcomerefugees
That sounds great, but the reality is that developers will always eat performance increases so that they can deploy ever-shittier code. Thus you need the cutting-edge processor just to keep up. You think they're going to optimize? 12 weeks in code bootcamp doesn't give you any kind of foundation to do anything other than create barely-working garbage code. Leaving aside that developers don't develop on phones, they develop on PC-based emulators.
So, you're a Bernie Bro, but you think that both sides are the problem? Leftists despise the entire idea of "America" and wish they could get rid of it. The rest of us think that "America" is a great idea and want to continue. You think maybe the fact that you support a socialist might be the problem? Phrases like "start thinking with that unused gray blob between your ears" are a dead giveaway. Because obviously if people thought, they would think like you! And we would finally have true socialism in America, with free healthcare for all and re-education camps for those who disagree. We all saw your true nature when Google fired that guy for speaking out. Your idea of the future sucks, and nobody wants any part of it.
It matters. People are doing research right now and what they're finding is astounding. We've been the victims of a 70 year old lie. I grew up thinking fascism was a right-wing ideology, but it turns out it was left-wing all along. No wonder the Left didn't want it on their side. It would pretty much permanently discredit anything they said, since what the fascists of the 1920s and 30s said sounds very much like what the Progressives of the 2010s say.
Given what most people today think they know about Fascism, this bare recital of facts is a mystery story. How can a movement which epitomizes the extreme right be so strongly rooted in the extreme left? What was going on in the minds of dedicated socialist militants to turn them into equally dedicated Fascist militants?
So, honest question: what does your independent research into Giovanni Gentile reveal? I'd really like to know. You didn't attack any substance, just a "kill the messenger" fallacy.
CNN is fake news but publishes many true articles every day. Due to the constant "you're a fascist!" accusations from the Left every day, baffled conservatives are doing research into what the hell fascism is in the first place, since they are constantly unjustly accused of being it. Turns out, it wasn't right-wing at all. Mussolini started his career penniless with nothing but a cheap medallion of Karl Marx in his pocket. The truth is starting to come out.
One of the groups that most strongly supported fascism in Italy was the self-designated futurists. Led by Filippo Marinetti, the futurists championed fast cars and new technologies and viewed themselves as on the cutting edge both of the sciences and of art. This was the group that encouraged fascism and Nazism to use new advances in technology and up-to-date techniques of media and propaganda. Historian Zeev Sternhell concludes that far from being reactionary, "The conceptual framework of fascism
was nonconformist, avant-garde, and revolutionary in character."
The fascists and the Nazis sought to create a new man and new utopia freed from the shackles of the old religion and old allegiances. The whole mood of fascism and Nazism was beautifully captured in the Nazi youth depicted in the movie Cabaret, who sings not about a lost past but rather that "tomorrow belongs to me." Fascism's appeal was, as both its critics and enthusiasts recognized at the time, more progressive and forward-looking than it was backward and reactionary.
Yes, because what I want from a currency is wild swings and the ability to speculate instead of hold value long-term. Honestly that sounds like a commodity, not a currency.

So what you're saying is "America First"? Do you people even listen to yourselves? Fuck America. America is not the solution, America is the problem.

If oligarchs had fixed our election properly then Hillary would be president today. Mercantilism is the opposite of free trade and globalism.

So what you're saying is that you agree with Nazis. My work is done here.

Negative. Christian bakers refused to bake a cake for a gay wedding because it's against their religion: fined $130,000.
Muslim truck driver refused to deliver alcohol because it's against his religion: awarded $240,000.
The word "nazi" today more often indicates the presence of a radical leftist (or left-wing propagandist) than it does actual nazis.
