I forgot about this thread. Where was I? OK Steele said he'd stay quiet and not talk to the media. Then he talked to the media. Then the FBI fired him. After that, the FBI used his dossier to justify a FISA warrant. Anyway, that's all been out for a while. The new news is that the big indictment didn't find any collusion between the Russians and Trump. Nope. No Russians were indicted for acquiring the DNC emails for WikiLeaks - The original accusation of Russian interference.
Which one fed more misleading propaganda to voters in the 2016 Presidential election? Russian spies? Or the US mainstream media?
The Russians weren't trying to drive us apart then. They are now. When you repeat these things, you're helping the Russians accomplish their goals. It's not treasonous like you say it is, but it is definitely giving aid and comfort to the enemy. You need to stop doing it, otherwise you're nothing but Putin's unpaid tool.
We pour billions into these countries and we can't buy a few pallets of textbooks? Those are cheap. What's wrong with our NGOs? Too busy fucking little kids - their real goal for signing up for the job.
If women walk around with their heads uncovered, it's an invitation to rape them. Remember the Arab Spring and Tarhir Square in Egypt? On the night that Hosni Mubarak stepped down, CBS Reporter Lara Logan was gang-raped by men who were too turned on by her bare head.She wasn't wearing a headscarf, so she was asking for it. Do we not remember this? It was huge, huge news.
Logan said her clothes were torn off and her muscles were agonizingly stretched as she was separated from her crew and swallowed into the 200-to-300-strong mob. She recalled the flashes of cell phone cameras taking pictures of her naked body as her merciless attackers raped her with their hands.
Logan said she hoped her screams would stop her assailants, but they only provoked them.
"Because the more I screamed, it turned them into a frenzy," she said.
Outrage as Iraqi migrant who raped boy, 10, in 'sexual emergency' at swimming pool has conviction overturned because court couldnâ(TM)t prove the child said 'no'. The child was attacked at an Austrian swimming pool last December. The boy was a refugee from Serbia. And afterwards, what did he do? He went for a swim like nothing had happened. I mean, the natural reaction would be to run far away, but it was no biggie. I mean, the little kid was too attractive, he had a sudden sexual emergency, he satisfied himself, problem solved right? Because in his own country, it would be nothing. The boy would be stoned for making an accusation. They are taught this way of life from birth, for thousands of years. Why would we expect they change just because they come to our countries?
This case was hardly covered in Austria, for obvious reasons.
The Republican one was obviously fair, otherwise they wouldn't have had Trump. They should have rigged the primary like the Democrats did. Then they would have gotten an acceptable Establishment candidate, and no matter who won, the Establishment's needs would be first with our own a distant priority. "The election of Donald Trump was an assault on the federal bureaucracy" Oh boo hoo those pricks finally get a taste of what it's like for the rest of us.
Quite obviously, no multibillion dollar company is going to hire an unqualified person for that position
BAHAHAHAHAHAHA OMG YOU SAID THAT WITH A STRAIGHT FACE (deep breath) BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
The frightening part is, judging from your username, you're an educated person and yet you somehow still stumbled on this pollyanna belief. Allow me to inform you that you are 100% mistaken. Honestly America would be a better place with a licensing test for CEOs. Not an MBA. One that includes a field trip to federal prisons where they have meetings with convicted CEOs.
It's because they're not in control of their own lives, but they *are* in control when they're logged into Wikipedia. They find this feeling exhilarating. Their lives are shit and provide little positive emotion. But erasing someone else's additions to "your" page? A flood of positive brain chemicals and wonderful feedback.
Yeah, as it turns out, one of the primary motivations for working at a non-profit is to divert as much money as possible to phoney baloney jobs for your cronies (harrumph harrumph) while dragging out the project as long as possible.
That being said, I think Wikipedia as text and pictures is great. Your link has a lot of mistaken assumptions: "Reading information is not as fun as interacting with it." Where the hell is it written that Wikipedia's job is to be fun? "Learning from Wikipedia should be as addictive and engaging as following friends on a social network." No, no, no. Wikipedia is a goddamn encyclopedia, not a goddamn social network. Those networks are harmful to children, this lady is insane. You notice all her "ideas" boil down to animated.GIFs? Anyone seriously want those all over Wikipedia because they're "fun"?
Assange has just told Swedish authorities that he's an Islamic refugee. So naturally they dropped rape charges. We might be on to something here for a way to fight these copyright infringement trolls. .
Telling a fat woman to do some squats is fat shaming, and anyone who fat shames will be fired from his job. Calling overweight men "neck beard virgins" is funny, however, and all women should mock men for being unattractive.
It's not an acronym. Microsoft would never be that clever. It was named after a strip club in a TV show that Microsoft executives liked. That's more Microsoft's style.
I get the feeling that you're taking potshots at strawmen that are not present in this conversation. Let me try something: Real quick now, what's your ideas about social justice?
Pointing out the US government's bloody history isn't foreign meddling. Heck, our "friends" in Europe do it all the time. Among those wars are Afghanistan and Iraq, the longest in our history; Libya, which was left without a stable government; Syriaâ(TM)s civil war, a six-year human rights disaster we helped kick off by arming rebels to overthrow Bashar Assad; and Yemen, where a U.S.-backed Saudi bombing campaign and starvation blockade is causing a humanitarian catastrophe.
You're kidding yourself if you think Slashdot has any "reach" and is thus worth any effort. Nobody reads the site any more. It's the same 50 people commenting on every article. In the old days Slashdot could bring a website down just by linking to it. But today? Laughable.
It's like the old Red Scare: confirmation bias causes people to see Russians under the bed. Russians did everything. They made me lose my shoe, they spoiled the milk, they made Hollywood make a movie that pointed out the shortcomings of our oh-so-angelic-and-not-racist-at-all American culture.
What is with the bizarre derailment into man-shaming? Boy, that really came out of left field.
The men I know who are below average know quite well that they are below average. They're not hitting on the pretty girls. In fact, due to constant negative reinforcement, they're not hitting on anyone at all. They stay at home with computer games and porn and sex dolls and cry themselves to sleep at night. But go ahead and speak truth to the powerless, my socially just friend. Comfort the comfortable, afflict the afflicted.
Strong, confident men don't take rejection personally. If the man is not strong and confident, then what is he doing? A good man can get 50 rejections and still know he's good. A shit man? If he feels like shit after getting rejected, whose fault is it?
"many of these ads did not violate our content policies. That means that for most of them, if they had been run by authentic individuals, anywhere, they could have remained on the platform."
"Shouldn't you stop foreigners from meddling in US social issues?
The right to speak out on global issues that cross borders is an important principle. Organizations such as UNICEF, Oxfam or religious organizations depend on the ability to communicate â" and advertise â" their views in a wide range of countries. While we may not always agree with the positions of those who would speak on issues here, we believe in their right to do so â" just as we believe in the right of Americans to express opinions on issues in other countries."
Then he gets wrongfully accused and his rantings stop. There's no great loss to civilization. It's not worth it to let 100 guilty men go free than accuse a single innocent. Those are Enlightenment values - the same ones that created racism and justified slavery. They're as yesterday's news as your uncle.
Men should be strong enough to handle the emotional toll rejection. If you're not good enough to deal with it, maybe that's life trying to teach you a lesson. Don't try to fob this heartbreak off onto women, they have enough problems already.
"No one believes more firmly than Comrade Napoleon that all animals are equal. He would be only too happy to let you make your decisions for yourselves. But sometimes you might make the wrong decisions, comrades, and then where should we be?"
You're right, but for the wrong reason. The gay population of males is tiny, but the unfit male population is huge, far more than 50%. Remember, half of all men are below average, which pretty much gets them out of the dating pool. The Silicon Valley women are accomplished, so they are only interested in a small percentage of top-tier men. These men who do qualify...what would they want with a driven, programmer wife? Thus do both sides claim there isn't anyone available.
why do you assume the repeated attacks are not also a reaction?
there's a reason people started berating straight white males. they've been the ones deciding things and benefiting for centuries already. now people aren't kissing white ass anymore and you're all butthurt. white people are not fucking victims because minorities finally decided to stand up for themselves. gay people got tired of having to hide their sexuality. black people got tired of being called n*ggers and treated as property. hispanic people got tired of being told that they're all fucking criminals. women got tired of men telling them what they cant do with their bodies. minorities are tired of white people's bullshit.
white people got tired of...? what, exactly? being told that they shouldn't be fucking assholes? for not even a decade? poor you.

Windows upgrades to 10 without the user's consent or interaction. I had to download a little utility that still sits in my taskbar today that specifically prevented automatic upgrades.

We have not reached true gender equality until it's socially acceptable for a man to reject a woman because she's too poor.
"Trump is not my president" is literally Russian propaganda. They're trying to discredit our democracy and our way of life, and you're on their side.
