  1. Re:You can Trust the Heritage Foundation on Google Cancels AI Ethics Board In Response To Outcry (vox.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    You didn't actually refute the study. Do you have a citation handy? All you did was a very clumsy attempt at the "guilt by association" fallacy. And you began with an "ad hominem" fallacy. It's shameful this passes as argument and gets modded up. It's rank tribalism, "my side is right". Believe all women, except when they accuse Democrats.

  2. Re:Ridiculous childish trade war on MIT Cuts Funding Ties With Huawei, ZTE Citing US National Security Concerns (scmp.com) · · Score: 0

    An end to American bullying is precisely what the EU has been demanding for a *long* time. The rest of the world, too. I'm confused by the gist of this comment.

  3. Uh, she got into Harvard just when they were desperate for minority applicants. It takes a special kind of naivete to think that was a coincidence. This is Harvard, the university that readily and openly discriminates on race.

  4. Whataboutism ? That's your only reply? Warren didn't just lie, she falsely claimed to have Indian heritage when she did not. That's a HUGE crime by leftist standards. And yet she's in your tribe, and these things aren't wrong when you do them.

    Americans calling Indians shit for brains. Such racist, how Trump. No wonder for a country that puts Fox News in number one and MSNBC in last.

    India has no meaningful stake in it. Tip: whenever you see "international" in any name, it's probably American bullying in disguise.

  7. Re:If they really feel that strongly about it... on Google Will Require Temp Workers Receive $15 Minimum Wage, Parental Leave (theverge.com) · · Score: 2

    It's a culture fit. Being a Google employee carries with it a fair bit of status. Googlers don't like being on the same level as ordinary workers or cafeteria cooks. It's galling to think that the uneducated get the same benefits as you. It causes mental distress and we know Googlers are highly sensitive to that sort of thing (it's called "neuroticism" and got James Damore in a lot of trouble).

  8. Re:Since when our government cares about antitrust on Justice Department Warns Academy About Changing Oscar Rules To Exclude Streaming (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    Anti-government rhetoric like that places you firmly in the far right politically. Careful friend, mark what you say in public. Timothy McVeigh thought just like you.

    India sent a message loud and clear: we will do this, and we don't care if it causes space junk. I hope everyone got the message. The US State Department is very big on "sending messages" with its actions. Let's see how they like being on the receiving end for once. I think it'll be very educational for them to attend another country's lesson instead of being the one dishing it out.

    Failure to denounce discrimination is not hate, but you are adjacent to hate. If you got a table with a Nazi and ten people talking to him, you got a table with eleven Nazis.

    When did we suddenly start sympathizing with the American working class? They're a pack of deplorable racists, remember? Why would anyone but the alt-right want to care for them? You a fascist or just adjacent to fascists?

    That's the "absurd absolute" argument, when you restate your opponent's argument as something absurd and absolute.

    Check out this Louis Rossman video. Apple flat-out lies about being able to salvage data off of damaged phones. Independent repair shop cites a 95% success rate in doing so, while Apple's only response is "all your photos are gone forever. Buy a new phone."

    When she tried to help grieving people on the Apple forums, they banned her. She can find nothing in the TOS that disallows what she said.

  15. More warmongering Americans. Just assuming the world wants your help. Have you even ASKED the Taiwanese if they want reunification? No, of course you didn't. You love using your military, so naturally you assume everyone else is just as evil as you are.

    Nobody talking about Trump, but you just have to bring him up. We were having a nice chat before you showed up. What's it like, being consumed with Trump hate so badly you vomit on random forums? The rest of us have lives outside politicians. We aren't thinking about it every waking moment. I'm sorry your life is like this. I hope you get better.

  19. Re:Is this even a serious question? on Does India's Anti-Satellite Missile Test Mean The Weaponization of Space? (reuters.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Of course it's a question. The militarization of space has been possible for a long time, but the world's space-faring powers signed a treaty outlawing space-based weapons. Maybe update your calendar past 1966 and understand why this is a significant change in the status quo.

    No that was "DOS ain't done till Lotus won't run." Not Windows.

    By the time of Windows, Microsoft's dirty tactics had worked and Lotus was marginalized.

    Remember when Mueller lied us into the Iraq War? Here's video evidence of him lying to Congress.

    He gave the impression that the FBI, the trusted organization that would never lie, approved of the invasion as absolutely necessary. Because Iraq was going to give WMD to Al-Qaeda, despite Saddam utterly hating Islamists and Al-Qaeda utterly hating nationalists like Saddam.

The same people who, when the working class retaliated with "learn to code", considered this a hate crime? We'll get right on voting for people who call us racists, rape apologists and woman haters.
