Hello? This sort of thing completely invalidates your argument. It's like when you find out the church lady that calls for morality actually commits immoral acts herself. It wipes out anything she ever said. This view is long-standing and predates the current election. Misogyny and rapey behavior results in public shunning and unemployability. It's like accepting a kiss from the Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan: "Can't shake the devil's hand and say you were only kidding."
Fake news? Which self-brainwashing news outlets have you been listening to? The ones that tell you not to listen to the other ones? LOL. Let that sink in for a moment.
You know that actor that got up and lectured Pence? He's a misogynist. Right there in his own words: calling women "ho's". He has also made very rapey comments about taking advantage of drunk women. Where have you been getting your news? If your news hasn't been mentioning these very pertinent FACTS, then you might be listening to fake news. And if your fake news has been telling you to listen to them exclusively and not listen to alternatives, then you've really got a problem with self-brainwashing.
Google gets its fraud detection software up and running, and assumes everyone it finds is a fraudster. Hooray! Of course you don't give fraudsters any information about how you detected them, they'll use it against you in the future! Just a blank wall...let them eat THAT! So satisfying for the millennial developers at Google.
The idea that false positives might occur...well maybe, but it's not a problem. Locking people out of their accounts? Someone else at Google will resolve it. Google offers these accounts for free and you want quality! How about we give you a full refund instead? Cue scornful laughter. Screw anyone who sets off the detector, it's their fault for having a non-standard life.
Well, the hobby of the entire nation of Denmark is watching what the Americans are doing that day and then recoiling in horror. Seriously, what did you people do before us?
The reasons are familiar: as the business of news has grown tougher, many outlets have been stripped of the resources they need for journalists to do their jobs correctly. "When you're on your fifth story of the day and there's no editor because the editor's been fired and there's no fact checker so you have to Google it yourself and you don't have access to any academic journals or anything like that, you will screw stories up," she says.
So, this is it. Journalism is too tough because the business of news is too tough. Seriously? Soul-searching and THIS is the best they could come up with? I thought after the shock election result, the Left was supposed to wander in the desert and seek answers? They STILL don't get it?
An explanation that does not include the fact that the media dropped its last pretense at truth-telling and wholeheartedly backed the worst political candidate since Edwin Edwards is NOT truth-telling! Jesus Christ! The first step in fixing a problem is admitting that there is a problem! Even the New York Times came out and said that after the election they had to rededicate themselves to journalism. Why would they need to do that unless they lost their dedication in the first place?
The Emperor has no clothes. The whole world saw it. Yeah, if you don't read international news from non-European sources, it was obvious to everyone worldwide that the US media were totally supporting Hillary. They're used to detecting this kind of bullshit after all, but they're just not allowed to report it when it concerns their own corrupt elites. The US media are bankrupt, deplorable, and irredeemably biased. Cancel your paying subscription today and help them into the grave. Cancel your ad buys. Tell the reporters you don't trust them when they want to cover your daughter's softball championship win. It's the only way we can progress as a society.
It is rightfully the parent's decision, not the child's. Minors don't make decisions like this, it's why they're called minors. Parents make life-changing decisions for their children all the time: how to raise them, whether to uproot the child from everything he's ever known to move five states over, to have life-threatening surgery or not, to rip the child away from his father. I think ya need to learn what laws are and how they apply to people...
Joke's on her, then. Freezing a dead body bursts every cell wall as the water expands into ice. If a future tech can repair THAT kind of damage, then they will certainly by godly by our standards today. Of course, left unsaid will be WHY any godly future society would want to wake up some violent barbarian spawn from the early 21st century. So she can screw up their carefully manicured DNA profiles with her wild genes carrying all sorts of horrible diseases and mutations?
So it seems nobody has questioned the premise: an office should be completely paperless. WTF? Paper has its uses. The right tool for the right job. This strikes me like some trendy UX designer trying to eliminate every useful option in a program in favor of three baffling buttons.
It really pisses me off when I see people failing to question their flawed premises. If paper gets the job done then it's the correct solution.
Huh? "Sojurner" means "traveler" or "temporary visitor". It in no way means "immigrant". Sheesh. The ancient laws about hospitality to guests were extremely important. You couldn't just stop off at a roadside diner or grab a microwave burrito from 7-11 when you were traveling. You depended on the hospitality of the local residents. This is one of the reasons explorers always made such a big deal about hostile natives, they were violating one of the oldest compacts of humanity.
That's one of the things that this election really drove home - the misappropriation of taxonomy. To liberals, there really is no difference between "legal immigrant", someone who waited in line and did everything right, and "illegal immigrant", someone who didn't bother to obtain consent and barged right in uninvited. Canada and Mexico both don't allow illegal immigration, neither does any other country on the planet, why is America so exceptional here? Oh, and we're not mass murderers although I suppose it is highly satisfying to say so.
"In a rational world it would be obvious that Trump supporters include lots of brilliant and well-informed people. That fact - as obvious as it would seem - is invisible to the folks who can't even imagine a world in which their powers of perception could be so wrong. To reconcile their world, they have to imagine all Trump supporters as defective in some moral or cognitive way, or both."
"SF film"? Since when is Star Wars science fiction? Where's the science?
It's straight up fantasy, just like Lord of the Rings. A magic energy field, an old master, an evil dark lord, jeez all you need is to drop a photon torpedo into the evil fortress instead of a ring and it's the same story.
I loved all these great films. Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back, Indiana Jones, etc. But I guess I'm the only person who really doesn't give a shit about the actors and actresses who played the characters. Who cares? They were just pretending to be them. The cocky bastard Han Solo was who I liked, not Harrison Ford the actor, who from what I understand is an easily-led airhead. Princess Leia had it going as the arrogant space princess who was nonetheless a brave resistance leader, but Carrie Fisher? She had a great role in The Blues Brothers but that was it.
My theory is "fandom". There's just not enough crap out there to be a fan of. I mean, there are only three Indiana Jones movies to watch in the whole canon, (not counting the Young Indiana Jones which are actually pretty damn good but don't have much to do with the original movies) but if you want to talk about Harrison Ford then there is so much more. I think this constant culture of "fandom" just requires more material, more cutting room floor footage that was left there for a reason, more retrospective books about the filming of the movie, what stormtrooper TK-421 was eating that day at the commissary when he spoke his lines, on and on and on. Because, let's be honest, how many times can you watch the movies? After a while they just get stale and you might as well shout the lines with them ala the Rocky Horror Picture Show. The fans want more, more, more. Look at the Phantom Menace to see how well that worked out.
I remember a story by someone who was just super excited that they got to have lunch with the guy who wore the Boba Fett mask. Like, big deal? He's just an actor, it could have been anyone.
Wildly over spends? It's to keep the peace and make potential rivals give up before they ever get started. Sure, defense contractors are rapacious sociopaths but damn, if the USA relaxed and slashed defense, other countries would get the idea that they might be actually able to win. Germany started the Great War because they thought they would win. How'd that work out for everyone?
You think peace is expensive, that's nothing on war. A proper war, not the kind of war where you fire a million dollar cruise missile to hit a camel in the butt.
The "melting pot" concept is a discredited, racist idea left over from the 1970s, Grandpa. The new idea is "multiculturalism", which you might have heard of. Fuck off, racist, and take your dinosaur ideas with you.
the term "signals a Euro-White Colonial standard, point blank, period."
Brekka told Campus Reform that she doesn't want students to use the phrase "melting pot" because it is not an accurate description of diversity in the United States, asserting that "the reason we put less emphasis on the way cultural groups are alike is because of the historical disadvantages minorities have had compared to the white majority."
She believes diversity in America can more accurately be described with a salad metaphor.
"It's the difference between a soup and a salad...in the salad, the flavors remain distinct," she explained. "Your romaine lettuce retains its flavor, the tomatoes retain their flavor, and so on. They are all living happily in one bowl."
"In a rational world it would be obvious that Trump supporters include lots of brilliant and well-informed people. That fact - as obvious as it would seem - is invisible to the folks who can't even imagine a world in which their powers of perception could be so wrong. To reconcile their world, they have to imagine all Trump supporters as defective in some moral or cognitive way, or both."
It's more like we don't want to compete with the entire world for high paying jobs. So Silicon Valley posts record profits? Who does that benefit? CEOs who are already rich. Spread the wealth, let our own people do the work. If they're not up to it then let the CEOs provide the necessary training.
It's also imperialist to selfishly keep the world's best students in America. These people should be in their home countries improving things for their own people. If they just get educated and never return, how are things ever going to get better?
Yeah, I pretty clearly see that Amazon is headed down the dark road where Alibaba's always been. Amazon *used to* be a platform you could trust, at least most of the time. But now? With all these direct-from-China sellers on it? These people are sharks and they know every trick in the book.
A lot of them really don't know how to make money other than shenanigans. The idea that they should offer an honest product and run a good business, get a reputation, etc.? Foreign ideas. The counterfeiter idea is that the only way to win is to rip people off, and when they get burned and don't buy from you again, well don't worry there are billions more people out here and you don't need repeat business. A lot of these scammers operate on razor thin or zero margins, and they go bankrupt all the time. I really don't think it was a good idea for Amazon to open up to them.
What Amazon should do is go to Alibaba and hire away some of their anti-fraud department. Start playing whack-a-mole. It's just not going to get better any time soon. The winners are going to be the counterfeiters, and the losers are going to be Amazon honest sellers. It's a real tragedy.
If you want to know how we ended up like this, please watch this video: "President Trump: How & Why...". It is a must-view for people exactly like you for how the level of political discourse got so low. It's by a leftist, so you know he's telling the truth and has been fact-checked. It's really sad what he's saying and it is all 100% true.

It wasn't Republicans that elected Trump. The Republicans hated his guts as much as the Democrats did. You might say they aren't even two different parties, just a uni-party ruling class with superficial differences. It was the AMERICAN PEOPLE who elected Trump. We defied everyone and gave the biggest middle finger in history.
But by all means, please continue with the UR A BIGOT talk. You'll keep losing elections from now until the end of the century. The world changed last week, didn't you get the memo? That name-calling shit doesn't work any more. Here is an important video that you need to watch. It's by a fellow leftist, so it's safe. Please watch it and come around to a better, more inclusive point of view that accommodates diversity.

Only heard of the three films. That last one must have been a timeline distortion, maybe your timeline didn't join with ours.
To reside temporarily: "His family had sojourned in New Jersey for one year only, and had then gone back to Michigan" (Jane Smiley).
n. A temporary stay; a brief period of residence.
