It sounds like your disgusting Islamophobia is causing you to say hateful things about a revered prophet of Islam. Fuck you and fuck the horse you rode in on. "Abrahamic" is capitalized, you piece of shit racist Islamophobe.
It's astounding to hear educated people try to excuse Hillary like this. If it were a Republican candidate that pulled the same shit, you'd be all over it like stink on shit. And then pull Trump into it and make a false equivalence, a well-known logical fallacy.
Nobody "chose" Crooked Hillary for the Democratic nomination. She stole it with fraud. Didn't you read the emails? Let me guess: no. Because they'd shatter your precious worldview and we can't have that.
Isn't it hilarious that a far leftist like Assurange was laid low by his own buddies, the Swedish radical feminists? I laughed for days. Moreover, a man who spent his entire life fantasizing about being a personal enemy of the USA and he finally gets his wish. What does he immediately do? He falls for the oldest trick in the book: the honey trap. LOL.
No, this was before mass sequelitis infected the movie industry and ruined it. Sequels were something special, hadn't been overused to death yet, and it was doubtful there'd be another Trek. Leonard Nimoy HATED playing Mr. Spock and wanted to be done with it, forever. Kill off the character, finished!
Of course, it's easy to say something like that TODAY, what with tvtropes and such. But let's not use today's eyes to look at what people expected in the past.
Gosh, could it be that we want to take advantage of our good mood and get some shit done while it lasts? What is with this complete lack of self-awareness here? Humans are constant pleasure-seekers? Wow, that's news to the billions of humans worldwide whose horizons don't include lush grants to produce studies. "We sabotage our own high spirits"? Again, a big WTF here. Who feels bad after cleaning the house? Put this in the bin with the rest of debunked, discredited social science. I bet the results are irreproducible and thus not science at all.
Responding to a complaint about a strawman agrument by constructing yet ANOTHER argument out of straw? "having an open mind and a balanced view is a crime"? WTF? Who said this? [citation needed]
Affirmative action isn't about helping black people. It's about making white leftists feel better about themselves and superior to everyone else. School districts already receive record amounts of money, far more than anywhere else in the world, and continue failing. "Significant societal assistance" has been going on for a long, long time and it isn't working. It IS working to transfer society's wealth to white leftists and their NGOs though. Who would want the patient to get better? If things got better, they'd be out of a job!
It doesn't happen too often, but I sometimes need to search my old emails for keywords. This is gold, I can find information that I needed from five, six years ago. One search and kablammo, there it is, dated, timestamped, with the recipient's information right there. Moreover armed with this new information I can go up the chain of emails and see what was happening before then. I tell you it is gold and has saved my ass more than once.
Moreover this summary rings all the warning bells of "hipster douchebag who is infatuated with novelty and wants to discard useful tools in favor of NEW NEW NEW for no damned good reason." Barcelona-based filmmaker, are you kidding me? SO TRENDY. "Nomadic" team? The whole digital nomad thing is SO TRENDY. "they manage to find a stable wifi connection"? Seriously? Even the worst third world crap countries have 3G that works perfectly well for compressed voice messages. Sending and receiving. But the really damning one is the last: "You can hear in someone's voice how they're feeling." This is a sad, desperate cry from someone who is isolated and craves human contact. I think she just needs some real human friends from her own neighborhood.
In fact if you read again, it's not about if email is the right tool for the job. The whole thing is a whimpering paean to human connections. You need voice contact, just make a phone call. BUT apparently that's too much connection, it's scary and confrontational. These poor people...I really pity them. You might think I'm being sarcastic (projection!) but I'm not. They have the same social needs as every human, ever, but their culture tells them that this is a creepy thing and is wrong.
Boy, I can't wait for the next AAA title that requires me to log in to Facebook and that won't give me more playing time unless I post begging for others to start play. "Extraordinary moves in gaming", yes I sadly believe this. Our grandchildren are going to be baffled by games that you could just play on a single computer by yourself without social media intruding. "But Grandpa, how did you play games back then without becoming an unpaid marketing agent for the company that made the game? That's just weird!"
You know, dismissing the intelligence of people who disagree with you is one of the main reasons you leftists are so hated. Feels good though, doesn't it? This feeling is exactly what racists feel about black people.
Anyone who talks to the Japanese will find out they were Japanese first and citizens of wherever second. The Japanese in Hawaii were expected - by the Japanese Army! - to rise up and attack the US Army when the Japanese invaded. This never happened due to Midway, but it was in the plan. The US Army was expecting it too, because duh. When the Germans attacked Poland and France, German people rose up and aided the invaders. I notice you didn't say a word about the treatment of Allied civilians by Japan, because it doesn't agree with your narrative. Oops! It's always the inconvenient truths that ruin things!
This is Microsoft we're talking about here. Obviously, they mean to do harm with this action. What is it? They have a long track record of actions that *seem* great but turn out to have a harmful outcome (harmful to us, beneficial to themselves) years later. Does the hivemind see what this angle is? I'm not seeing it, but you KNOW it's there. This is a company that does NOT do altruism. Anything smacking of doing good for outsiders with no shareholder return would get vetoed immediately by the MBAs in management.
The Chinese were paid for their labor and then went home afterwards. The only reason they were even imported in the first place is the blueblood assholes who owned the railroads didn't want to pay market rate for Americans. They were the H1Bs of their time.
What happened to Allied civilians who were in Japan when they sneak attacked Pearl Harbor? Oops, they went into internment camps too...BZZT BZZT INCONVENIENT TRUTH, DOES NOT COMPUTE, DOES NOT COMPUTE...
Tell you what, bub. Why don't you make your own European Slashdot? Then, you can not only have metric units, but social justice in every story. It'll be bliss! The best part is you get to give the old-fashioned Slashdot.org the finger and do your own thing. It will be a loss accepting your departure, but we'll just have to muddle along without you. Good luck in your new venture!
Unless this is all a lie and you just enjoy flaming Americans for being what they are, Americans. What are "sick measurment units" anyway? On your new site you can abolish English and use proper languages. Off you go!
Tillotson's Friend:
[leans over from another table]
Excuse me for intruding. But what you're saying is that we should be rid of the last vestiges of Goldsteinism when the language has been cleaned. I couldn't be more in agreement with you, brother.
Seriously, nobody likes Asians. They did everything wrong when they got to America. What's SUPPOSED to happen is that they're supposed to be oppressed victims, racism, blah blah. What happened instead is they put their heads down, worked hard, kept strong family structures, and succeeded against all odds.
This is NOT the left-wing immigrant narrative. For this crime, they get the same manner of discrimination that guilty racist whites get. Doesn't that suck? I really feel for them. They got none of the benefits, and yet are discriminated against and it is 100% legal. Damn, man. All because they dared to succeed.
You laugh, but damn that is shockingly accurate. "Change your behavior so the software works right" used to be absurd, but today it is apparently the default response from support. Remember Apple's "you're holding it wrong" debacle?
If nothing is said about it, assume it's about America. That'll make it easier for you next time.
The author appears to be unaware that laws are not the same in all countries.
No, the author assumes that everyone knows the widely known fact that Slashdot is a US-centric site and we don't need to state obvious facts as they waste valuable front page space.
Why don't you start a European competitor to Slashdot and tell the Americans to fuck off? People will flock to it to get away from US oppression.
14,000 new votes for Trump. Because why should you support the candidate that wants to expand joblessness and is the choice of heartless globalists? We're going to smooth out the poverty in the world until everyone has a standard of living that a Pakistani manual laborer would consider acceptable. We're with her!
I thought IQ tests didn't work and only produced invalid results? Besides, if intelligent people are so intelligent, why don't they just sandbag the test so the results come back at average?
Intelligent people do poorly at tasks requiring a lot of repetition and lack of novel stimulus. Average intelligence people can work on an assembly line doing the same task for twelve hours a day without batting an eye. The same job would drive a high intelligence person batty with the lack of novelty.
It's used there because that's where most of the crime is. Where else would they use it? Allocating scarce resources to areas where crimes aren't happening is a waste of taxpayer money. Would the city put homeless shelters where there aren't many homeless people? Would they put needle exchange programs where there aren't any drug addicts? Same thing.
Yeah, that sounds great and I'm sure it's what you would do. But criminals...aren't so smart. If they were smart they wouldn't be criminals as the pay isn't very good and the risk of prison is high. Of course, when you get to the top like Hillary, things are different, but for the rank and file crime doesn't pay.
Seriously, you have NO idea what Marxist China did to its own people. Not even the worst. Imagine an untrained doctor, injecting people with dirty needles, forever.

How about letting actual Slashdot commentErs make the comments instead of building a ridiculous strawman? +4 Insightful, really?

Winston Smith: How's the Newspeak Committee?
Syme: Working overtime. Plusbig waste is in adjectives. Plusbig waste is timing the language to scientific advance.
Winston Smith: ...yes.
Syme: It's a beautiful thing, the destruction of words. You wouldn't have seen the Dictionary 10th edition, would you Smith? It's that thick.
[illustrates thickness with fingers]
Syme: The 11th Edition will be that
[narrows fingers]
Syme: thick.
Winston Smith: So, The Revolution will be complete when the language is perfect?
Syme: The secret is to move from translation, to direct thought, to automatic response. No need for self-discipline. Language coming from here

Syme: , not from here

It's very disturbing you went right for a word loaded with historical baggage like "purge". That sort of thing has a very dark history and suggesting the same tactics be used on people you don't like is worrisome indeed.
