"...Aim at something that's worth aiming at. And how do you determine what's worth aiming at?
Well you think: Okay, here I have my miserable, wretched life. Under what conditions would it justify itself, as far as I'm concerned, personally?
So you think. What sort of future would I have to have so that I could say 'This is worth it.'?
And that's what you aim for.

You're a fool if you think Slashdot has any "reach" and thus would be worth it to spend money on paid shills. Those days have come and gone. Remember when the Slashdot Effect could crush websites? Today articles barely get 100 comments each.
Why bother to pay down the debt when the Dems are just going to run it up again the next time they get in office? Worse, they'll use the money to buy votes or to prosecute yet more foreign wars. How many did Obama start, 7 in 8 years? He killed more children than all other Nobel Peace Prize winners put together.
Pfff. Oh, yeah? When's the last time the people of Europe stood up and said, "We like you, America! Thanks for all the free security you provide because we are too weak and useless to provide it ourselves!" Yeah, never. When's the last time the people of Europe stood up and angrily demanded Americans get the fuck out and called them baby-murdering warmongers for actually building an army? Last week? Every US mililtary base in Europe is spraypainted with "AMI GO HOME" and European attitudes towards America are hugely negative. You don't view your friends as your greatest threat.
Americans are tired of wasting money on the likes of NATO, bases in Germany, etc. A complete waste of money that we canâ(TM)t afford, and which serves no purpose. If Russia wants to annex the Ukraine I donâ(TM)t care at all, not even a tiny bit.
The EU also has massive, massive problems, unelected, unresponsive bureaucrats who view their jobs as an all expense paid vacation, flooding the continent with third world migrants, etc.
European welfare state model is also probably unsustainable, particularly w/o the hapless US taxpayers funding their defense.
Negative. Fusion GPS was contacted by a GOP member for Opp research. The Steele Dossier was separate. The media / DNC are pushing that narrative, but itâ(TM)s flat out wrong. The GOP didnâ(TM)t ask for the Steele Dossier, they asked for separate Opposition Research. The DNC / HRC campaign started the Steele Dossier.
The greater than symbol screwed up one of the paragraphs.
Composite scores of perceived hostile climate for conservatives (a =.85) were significantly correlated with political orientation, r(263) =.28, p (greater than).0001: The more liberal respondents were, the less they believed that conservatives faced a hostile climate. This correlation was driven entirely by more conservative respondents' greater personal experience of a hostile climate: Controlling for personal experience, the relationship disappeared (r = -.01), suggesting that the hostile climate reported by conservatives is invisible to those who do not experience it themselves.
A lack of political diversity in psychology is said to lead to a number of pernicious outcomes, including biased research and active discrimination against conservatives. The authors of this study surveyed a large number (combined N = 800) of social and personality psychologists and discovered several interesting facts. First, although only 6% described themselves as conservative "overall," there was more diversity of political opinion on economic issues and foreign policy. Second, respondents significantly underestimated the proportion of conservatives among their colleagues. Third, conservatives fear negative consequences of revealing their political beliefs to their colleagues. Finally, they are right to do so: In decisions ranging from paper reviews to hiring, many social and personality psychologists said that they would discriminate against openly conservative colleagues. The more liberal respondents were, the more they said they would discriminate.
Composite scores of perceived hostile climate for conservatives (a =.85) were significantly correlated with political orientation, r(263) =.28, p the hostile climate reported by conservatives is invisible to those who do not experience it themselves.
At the end of our surveys, we gave room for comments. Many respondents wrote that they could not believe that anyone in the field would ever deliberately discriminate against conservatives. Yet at the same time we found clear examples of discrimination. One participant described how a colleague was denied tenure because of his political beliefs. Another wrote that if the department "could figure out who was a conservative they would be sure not to hire them."
-- Yoel Inbar and Joris Lammers, "Political Diversity in Social and Personality Psychology"
The surest sign that a community suffers from a deïcit of viewpoint diversity is the presence of orthodoxy, most readily apparent when members fear shame, ostracism, or any other form of social retaliation for questioning or challenging a commonly held idea.In these contexts, it is likely that the dominant idea is not entirely correct because it is protected from challenge and change. If, however, the response to dissent is civil discussion and evidence-based argument, then the community does not suffer from
orthodoxy.
The question, then, is whether colleges and universities welcome and celebrate viewpoint diversity. While some individual institutions do (see our Guide to Colleges), many American universities are typiïed by an ideological monoculture.
For example, as the graph shows, in the 15 years between 1995 and 2010, the American academy went from leaning left to being almost entirely on the left. Similar trends and problems are occurring in the UK and Canada, and to a lesser extent in Australia.
A lack of viewpoint diversity on campus undermines the academyâ(TM)s ability to realize the goals of scholarly inquiry and education. Instead, research and learning spaces become self-afïrming echo chambers in which ideological validation displaces critical inquiry.
Your Euro-worshipping America-bashing is noted. Not that the point needed to be made, it gets pointed out to us on a daily basis by Europeans that America sucks and is an uncivilized shithole.
Your link states that this is a maternity leave type thing that they can only do for 2 years, and they take a pay cut to do it. You're trying to insinuate that it's instead of the 40 hour week. Yah fake news.
C is the correct choice if your goal is to implement an operating system. That's what C is FOR. That's why it was invented, a bunch of hackers needed to implement the UNIX operating system and created a language to do it.
Fortunately, that's not what the Chinese use. Officials rise on good performances. Compare this to the US system where officials either rise on advertising spending (elected government) or having went to an Ivy League school (unelected government).
Are you kidding! Our elites will never allow this system to survive them. They're getting their asses kicked right now from leaked emails and documents, and you'll be damn sure this kind of crap doesn't happen again.
Once again the fearful USA is left behind by the boldness of China in adopting and utilizing advanced technology. Under globalism, those who do not keep up are destined to be left behind in the dust. There is also a significant first-mover advantage as whoever adopts these technologies first realizes a distinct advantage over the timid ones who wait too long. The American response has been one of avoidance and evasion. Why? Because Americans seem to fear that if they stare at reality squarely, they will find reality staring back in a most discomforting way.
A lot of smart people are starting to argue in favor of the China Model. It avoids the pitfalls of American dumbocracy, of which the hazards are only too clear after the results 2016 election. Political meritocracy has a lot of upside, in fact a better word for it might be "vertical democratic meritocracy". Democracy works well at the lower levels of government. But, in a huge country, as you go up the political chain of command, the issues become more complex and mistakes become more costly. Thereâ(TM)s a need to institutionalize a system to select and promote leaders with superior qualities. China has it, and America is trying with all its might to pretend globalism doesn't exist and it can still get by with its antiquated system. Democracy on the bottom, experimentation in the middle, and meritocracy on top is a good way of thinking about how to govern a large country.
LOL! I don't remember that at all. Yeah, you must have said something really vile and hateful for me to use the system for the one and only time. Geez, I have a ton of fans! I never knew...
Bahaha! Nope, that's not true in the slightest. Europeans hate the USA and are not shy about saying it. You know who Europe regards as their greatest threat? Russia? Laughable. Not even in the top ten. Europe's greatest threat is America. And this was during the reign of Saint Obama the Scandal-Free, things are only worse now.
Europeans are not our friends, and it's high time we pulled our troops out and went home. Armies are expensive, but luckily they can afford it because they are rich developed nations. The US fought the Cold War to keep the Russians off Western European soil, and mitigated ethnic tensions in the region, and all we got in return was European propaganda about how imperialistic and colonial the US is from the very guys who fucked the world up in the first place. It's a total farce and it's high time it came to a screeching halt.

Think of this victory as a victory of some little people. You like supporting the little guy, don't you? You like supporting people who are powerless, don't you? The people who won have little power. They have little voice in anything. They are mostly invisible. When you lose, we have to hear all about your hurt feelings, but when we lose, we are ignored.

If I had to define "tolerance" it would be something like "respect and kindness toward members of an outgroup".
The Emperor summons before him Bodhidharma and asks: "Master, I have been tolerant of innumerable gays, lesbians, bisexuals, asexuals, blacks, Hispanics, Asians, transgender people, and Jews. How many Virtue Points have I earned for my meritorious deeds?"
Bodhidharma answers: "None at all".
The Emperor, somewhat put out, demands to know why.
Bodhidharma asks: "Well, what do you think of gay people?"
The Emperor answers: "What do you think I am, some kind of homophobic bigot? Of course I have nothing against gay people!"
And Bodhidharma answers: "Thus do you gain no merit by tolerating them!"

For simple problems or fully resolved technical matters there is little need for viewpoint diversity. Sometimes there is just one answer, or just one way to approach a problem. But for âoewicked problemsâ â" those that can be framed in multiple ways and that may trigger passions or partisan motivationsâ"viewpoint diversity is essential.
The surest sign that a community suffers from a deïcit of viewpoint diversity is the presence of orthodoxy, most readily apparent when members fear shame, ostracism, or any other form of social retaliation for questioning or challenging a commonly held idea.In these contexts, it is likely that the dominant idea is not entirely correct because it is protected from challenge and change.

I can't help notice the very popular "so you're saying" followed by a hallucination of what the other person didn't say. It was used to great effect during the BBC interview with Jordan Peterson when the interviewer repeatedly restated his views to him, wrongly. She did it again and again, and you're doing it now.
