"The liar's punishment is not in the least that he is not believed but that he cannot believe anyone else."
-- George Bernard Shaw
When you're a liar yourself, you immediately suspect everyone else of lying and cannot understand how anyone could represent their own cause otherwise.
"Your garage"?!? WTF? What garage? I live in an apartment, I park in a parking lot. I park in whatever spot is available.
It's this sort of blinkered ignorance that harms your own cause. You don't even realize you're taking your own situation and assuming that everyone in the world is like you. It's not about the EVULLL fossil car industries. Seriously, "fossil car industries"?
Who are these people who are banging on about corruption in some third world country? Can I get a citation, please? We've got plenty of corruption in the Democratic Party, and every time it gets brought up the topic is changed to the Russians.
You could have just said that height doesn't matter. But you had to make it the entire theme of your post. As if Baker didn't get enough grief in his life for being short.
You don't have the history of racism that the USA does. Voter ID programs are racist, period. We're all glad you have an Orwellian system where everyone requires an ID card from birth.
Isn't it interesting how this PoC stopped being a PoC and has now become an Evil Male Oppressor[tm]? In just about every other context in the world, he would be the protected one due to his race, but apparently now he's just a generic male and can be treated as our society treats such. Police oppressing a PoC, hello? Where's the outrage about the police mistreating him? The evidence was ruled inadmissible. Judging by all the other recent incidents, there should be parties in the street that the charges have been dropped. The prosecutorial overreach still nailed him with two charges and now he's headed into the overcrowded prison system where he will learn nothing but better ways of being a criminal.
In Silicon Valley, critics have argued
After being trained by Wikipedia, a [who?] automatically appears whenever I hear this kind of "critics say" nonsense. Who are these critics, what did they say, and I'd like a link to their comments. It's just goddamn common courtesy.
The Zero fighter was quickly countered by the Thach Weave. They had submarine carriers because the all of the real carriers had been sunk.
You know why the USA doesn't have the DF-21D missile? Because there aren't any enemy carriers to use it on. Seriously, do you even think before you write this stuff? How's the US going to use a carrier-killer missile? If the US did develop one you'd be front and center screaming about the waste and lack of a mission for this highly wasteful project.
Funny how the investigative journalist has all but disappeared in the Age of Obama. But now that credible opposition has appeared, investigative journalists suddenly reappear out of nowhere. It's as if Passenger Pigeons began assembling in their flocks and darkening the skies again.
Applause for changing the subject away from the very damaging contents of these emails. There are persuasion courses that charge top dollar to teach these things. The Democratic Party in America is not what everyone thought it was. They are racist, elitist, election-fixing, democracy-shitting-on assholes. People all over the world have been shocked by just how evil they were revealed to be. But on stories like this, change the subject as often as possible, that's a solid move. Get people talking about ANYTHING other than what we all saw the Democratic Party really means.
So, what happens afterwards when the investigation of the shooter's computer reveals he was radicalized by Islamic State propaganda originating from Twitter? Did you even think that far, or just start flaming with the most obvious conclusion you could jump to?
Maybe Musk should have called "autopilot" something different. People are going to die so that he could have his spiffy marketing term. Give you a hint: how many of us have even been in airplane cockpits? Join the plebians and stop attending so many DNC fundraisers with the elites. Your stern refusal to understand a severe problem of taxonomy is a perfect illustration of the problem elites face.
It's called "autopilot". An autopilot flies the plane by itself and can even land the plane automatically. Musk is doing a fine job pointing out "but the fine print in our contract doesn't say that" and disclaiming all responsibility. Look at the word - Auto...pilot - it literally means it steers itself. That's what the word means. If Musk wants to redefine a word to serve his own purposes then that is some serious 1984-level shit right there.
Yeah, but the railroad company didn't pick and choose which luggage it took and which it didn't. Twitter is brazenly open about banning accounts whose politics it disagrees with. It's not some kind of common carrier situation. Islamic State DOES use Twitter as a recruiting tool and people really do die afterwards.
Yeah, I can't wait for the real story of the Vietnam War to come out. Did you know the Tet Offensive, widely hailed as a defeat, was actually a huge setback for the Viet Cong? They were basically destroyed afterwards. Moreover they committed atrocities in the places they briefly took over, which were ignored by the US media as it didn't serve their interests. After peace with honor in 1972, US forces left. In 1975, the North Vietnamese stormed across the border in a style reminiscent of Germany vs. Poland 1939. The period between 72 and 75 is hardly ever referenced, and we have forgotten about it today.
Ah, yes, good old Utopia. Where we turn control of our lives over to the US federal government, which has such a good track record of not screwing up. If you like the service at the Post Office, you're going to love your new life under the highly intelligent people who will make choices for you.
What I'm baffled by is how the Left thinks that despair and chaos would be a BAD thing for America. You don't get a revolution in a country full of happy, fulfilled people. You get a revolution in a country whose people are angry and divided. Improve things? Why? So a bunch of white supremacists can relax in $1000 chairs and watch Netflix on a 50" screen in air-conditioned comfort?
I'd worry more about how to save games between sessions. How can they do that? Without leaving a browser window open forever? These Amiga games...there are a few shoot-em-up arcade style games, but most of them are in-depth experiences that take weeks or months to finish. You need to save your game and come back later.
I think they don't/won't/can't implement this functionality and thus this playable Amiga archive is worthless. BUT someone got to spend months accomplishing something with all the grant money they got, which is the real reason IMO.
It's cultural. People want something that is JAPANESE! OMG! Plus you feel cool (LOL) for paying the outrageous markup on imported foods. Pocky is just dry breadsticks with hardened cake icing on them. You can buy them without any coating and they are like the crackers you crumble into seafood soup. I'm not saying they don't deserve a place on the candy shelf, but it is odd to have such an obsession with a second or third-tier candy, it would be like if Zagnut or Necco wafers had a fanatic following.
I have to say, though, it is oddly satisfying to crunch them down to stubs, one after another.
I thought Pulitzer Prizes were only awarded as political statements? They mean "we agree with your political stances", just like the Nobel Prizes. How is this topic political?
Ah, I see. Having read the article, it actually isn't about leaving kids in hot cars to die. It's actually about the evil, evil prosecutors who charge people with crimes after the deed. That's why it got the Pulitzer.
You know, these sorts of men (and they are always men) are young nerdy men who have been totally fucked over by society. With every breath, with every word, including your comment, society rejects them harshly. And they know it. Boy, do they get the message loud and clear. It's blatantly clear that they are worthless and might as well commit suicide.
Ya think that might have something to do with the way they turned out? If society hates you, you might as well hate back, right? I mean, it's the argument you're using and you're taking the moral high ground. And you openly wish for them to be raped. That's horrible, but sadly common.
Read your comment again and tell me about sociopathy?
"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."
Yeah, the IOC aren't "fascist capitalists", whatever that means. They are an international NGO and have far more in common with far-left movements like BLM and SJW than they do any dirty capitalism. You remember how we all found out that the Democratic Party was not what it seemed? Turns out, it's a bunch of racist assholes who bused violent staffers into opposition rallies to fuck their shit up? Yeah, the IOC is the same way. Supposedly on our side, trusted with running the Olympics, and it turns out they're a bunch of corrupt NGO assholes who only care about themselves.
Fascist? Even today's Neo-Nazis aren't fascists. You need to stop using that word.
So, the money from selling your data, both today and in the future, has already been booked and spent. So, from Comcast's point of view, they're losing money. From our point of view, Comcast can fuck right off with their selling us bullshit, but since they've already spent the money, they think of it as a loss. Assholes.
