Go to bed at 10pm every night? Don't drink? Don't play computer games? Chill your room down to freezing? Grandpa, is that you? 10pm, seriously? I'd die inside.
Central planners are smart people who know what's best for you, and the ordinary folk can fuck right off and get out of the way. How dare the uneducated tell people with PhDs they have interests? Moses will make the decisions for you, and when you disagree it just proves he has the stones to stay steadfast in the face of criticism. Socialism and central planning in a nutshell.
Then maybe the rest of the world will stop getting its talent stolen by Americans. One of the worst things that America does is provide what's called an "attractive nuisance". It advertises this kind of life that is sadly effective in luring away badly needed people from indigenous societies and adding them to its own strength. How are these developing countries supposed to get any better if America keeps ripping off their most talented, creative people? It's like imperialism in reverse.
Trump's chilling effect is a blessing in disguise. People will stay in their own countries and apply their talents to their own people who are suffering, instead of feeding the beast. It's the sort of thing that won't be noticed until 10-20 years down the road but it's coming.
If you had only been so vigilant and curious about Obama...we might have avoided this whole situation in the first place. But no...he was on your side so no investigations needed, and the investigations that did take place were shit on. Learn well the lessons of failing to oppose the President.
You know, of course, that the EPA knocked a hole that caused the spill in the first place, and the fact that you deliberately leave that out makes you less than trustworthy.
Captain America should be all about the positive aspects of America, and how it and its people are a force for good. Instead, the left-wing politics of the author make him despise America and want to harm its heroes. And the author evidently takes great pleasure in shitting in everyone else's punchbowl. Moreover who says left-wing politics have to be broadcast in comic books, of all mediums? This is why we can't have nice things.
Ah, I know this one. In fact, you want the negotiations to be in your native language, and make the other party use their non-native language. This puts you at an advantage.
If they're calling you a dumbfuck to your face, you need to drop them. If you're suspicious, bring in a speaker of their language and tell them he's part of your team. He stays silent the whole time and listens. He'll tell you what they're saying. Again, advantage: yours.
Yaknow, if this is fearing Trump's wrath, then I'm all for it. I'm sick and tired of royal CEOs deciding to screw over Americans and our government not having our backs. Other countries back up their people all the time.
Just 7 short months ago the Chinese snubbed Obama in the tarmac at the G20 summit. Now they're buying American coal and helping tame the North Koreans. What a turnaround. Wrath like this I can get behind.
Well, instead of reposting the same story 8-24 hours later, the story is reposted inside of itself. Saves duplication of effort. Even better that it's done by the guy who said he was going to clean up the site. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
You get 2G in China because China uses a different hardware standard than the rest of the world for 4G. This was done deliberately to avoid being dependent on the West for technology. In fact, there are two incompatible 4G standards, one for China Mobile and the other for China Telecom.
So, despite all the blatantly illegal spying, which is a felony for everyone who participated, where is the evidence? We haven't seen a shred. You seriously think if there was any evidence, it wouldn't have been revealed by now? Where was the hacking? Proof, please. And make it snappy.
As historian W. Jelani Cobb notes, "The freedom to
offend the powerful is not equivalent to the freedom to bully the relatively disempowered. The
enlightenment principles that undergird free speech also prescribed that the natural limits of
one's liberty lie at the precise point at which it begins to impose upon the liberty of another."
There is no doubt that the speakers in question impose on the liberty of students, staff, and
faculty at Wellesley. We are especially concerned with the impact of speakers' presentations on
Wellesley students, who often feel the injury most acutely and invest time and energy in
rebutting the speakers' arguments. Students object in order to affirm their humanity. This work is
not optional; students feel they would be unable to carry out their responsibilities as students
without standing up for themselves. Furthermore, we object to the notion that onlookers who are
part of the faculty or administration are qualified to adjudicate the harm described by students,
especially when so many students have come forward. When dozens of students tell us they are
in distress as a result of a speaker's words, we must take these complaints at face value.
What is especially disturbing about this pattern of harm is that in many cases, the damage could
have been avoided. The speakers who appeared on campus presented ideas that they had
published, and those who hosted the speakers could certainly anticipate that these ideas would be
painful to significant portions of the Wellesley community. Laura Kipnis's recent visit to
Wellesley prompted students to respond to Kipnis's presentation with a video post on Facebook.
Kipnis posted the video on her page, and professor Tom Cushman left a comment that publicly
disparaged the students who produced the video.
BDSM isn't the issue. The issue is misogyny and Social Darwinism. These values are incompatible with the values of Drupal. It's not a free speech issue, it's not a bedroom privacy issue. This is justified social ostracism from a society that rejects his values. No platform.
The Gor subculture's views on feminism are at odds with the Drupal project's values. But don't trust me, let's take a look at Rational Wiki:
Goreans are, all too often, nutters who have taken the works of a science fiction author way too seriously. The term "Gorean" comes from the Chronicles of Gor series of novels by John Norman, set mostly (where else?) on the planet Gor. The society in the novels is a patriarchy in which women are enslaved and bought and sold as property (there are some male slaves as well, though they're rare). In fact, on the planet Gor, gravity itself seems to be sexist. Tarl Cabot, the Earth-born hero of the series, is described as having much greater strength on Gor, as his muscles developed to function under Earth's higher gravity. However, Earth women have no such experience and find themselves physically helpless before Gorean men.
Many Goreans simply use Norman's setting for the purposes of BDSM role-playing. However, vocal proponents of Gorean "philosophy" actually think the series is a good blueprint for society, which has led to the creation of Gorean sex cults. The Goreans justify the subjugation of women using a mixture of recycled eugenics (or dysgenics, to be more technically accurate) and Social Darwinism. In short, back when men were men and women were women, skull-cracking cavemen roamed the Earth who were better adapted for survival because of their superior combat skills and penchant for kidnapping women. This kept the riff-raff from reproducing until the advent of modernity, industrialization, and feminism.
A splinter group from the Goreans called the Kaotians, founded by Lee Thompson, was raided in May 2006. In 2008, Thompson was sentenced to three years in prison for forcing his girlfriend to have sex with a number of other men.
It is recognized that men, on the whole, tend to be the naturally more dominant, logical, larger and physically stronger of the human species and that women generally tend to be more submissive, nurturing, emotional, smaller and physically weaker. With that in mind, gender roles within the Gorean construct are that of men as the leaders and women as the followers, for the most part.
The majority of those who seem to fall outside the natural norms actually do not, but rather, have subscribed too long to societal teachings that encourage the stifling of natural behaviors and thinking in favor of simulated equality and have developed habits and views that suppress and circumvent our true natures.
Just have a look at the Wikipedia page for Goreanism to see the photo of the woman there. No wonder this philosophy is so repellent. Social Darwinism and eugenics are both totally discredited and deserve no platform, anywhere.
I think these signators don't understand what they're protesting. The letter is shot through with social justice language, but Larry Garfield follows a misogynistic creed and there is nothing wrong with ousting him. The Gorean philosophy is based on the principle that women are evolutionarily predisposed to serve men and that the natural order is for men to dominate and lead. This is inconsistent with the goals of project Drupal and is not a free speech issue. This creed is of the kind that no organization, especially at a progressive open source project, should endorse or give a platform to.
That USED TO be true, back before the online poker era. But as it turns out, having a math whiz brain works a lot better than reading people's faces. Instantly calculating odds is far better knowing what their cards were by the way they held their eyes. Add to that hand history, which the computer does much better than any human, and it's not surprising yet another human activity has been surpassed.
So, what you're saying is that Trump isn't Hitler any more? How'd this happen? Were you even around during the travel ban? What about right after the election, when ecstatic Trump supporters beat up Muslims and spraypainted swastikas everywhere? "Make America White Again", they said.
Just look at these images - come on, moving up from Hitler to easily replaced by an AI is a gargantuan upgrade. What's next, "I don't agree with him but he's not that bad"?
The most historical figure most commonly referred to as an analogue to Donald Trump is Adolf Hitler. Instead of dismissing the parallels, isn't it time that we confront them, and consider them seriously?
Or dissembling, or not revealing everything, or employing standard journalistic deception, or lying by omission, or one of them. You can be sure of it. After all, what does Microsoft gain from telling the truth?
"Better controls"? You can bet that disabling the data Microsoft wants will result in important system features not working any more. MS has seen what Google has done and wants their own. It's the future of their company, not selling operating systems but selling the data those operating systems collect.
Seriously, you expect a government entity to engage in software development and end up with a usable product, on schedule? The thing would cost 10x the initial estimate and come in so late that whatever Android/Apple platform was originally targeted would be long obsolete. Please have some realism when talking about such topics in a forum of adults.

"States rights" is a codeword for racism and white supremacy. I'm ashamed to see it used un-ironically and even more ashamed to see it modded up.

Dude that is racist as fuck. Mod it into oblivion, please.
"We're not campaigning any more. The election is over."
-- Barack Hussein Obama
"You are entitled to your opinion, but not your own facts"
-- Barack Hussein Obama
"Elections have consequences, and at the end of the day, I won."
-- Barack Hussein Obama, three days after being inaugurated
Obama brought so much hope back to America that America voted for a Republican outsider to undo everything he did.
