You mean Obama the Butcher of Libya? The guy who ordered 10x as many drone strikes as Geedub Boosh? The guy who expanded Boosh's torture program?
Apparently the main reason you like Obama is his skin color. The rest of us don't care if he's black, white, or plaid. But we do care that he was a shitty president.
The United States had never had a theocratic government, for sure. However for a conception of "nation" that is broader than "government" - yes America was long a Christian nation.
One could argue that even today, excluding a few coastal bourgeoisie, we are still a Christian people.
Fun fact: there is a strong positive correlation between cities with draconian gun ownership restrictions, and cities with heavily fortified public buildings. Almost like they are both caused by cultural antipathy to freedom...
Absolutely! We should install dozens of these fine devices in every school.
Right after we finish installing a moat, ramparts, pillboxes, a tiger trap, barbed wire, electric fences, an artillery battery, a minefield, anti-aircraft missiles, and a billboard-sized sign reading "authorized personnel only - all others will be shot on sight".
Yup. FB likes to send lots of completely fake "you have new messages!" emails. FB's shameless duplicity makes it pretty useless as a real communications tool.
I never "deleted" my account, because I know FB won't really delete the data anyways. I just don't use it. Don't ever login unless I have some very specific reason. (I really wish the local standup comedy group would stop posting their show announcements exclusively on Facebook.)
C'mon man, these cyclists are your neighbors. The road does bring to them, just as much as it belongs to motorists. And given the typical demographics of road cyclists, they probably pay rather more in taxes than the average driver.
It's unclear to me whether the road you describe has a lot of bicycles or just a few. If there are a lot - well then clearly many people disagree about the distances being too great. If there are only a few cyclists - well what's the problem then?
I agree with you, most roads are not well designed for shared bicycle and car traffic. That's why I proposed upgrading road to accommodate bikes in separated lanes. That's a problem if the road is already packed with cars well over design capacity. Whether bikes could realistically help reduce auto traffic depends on climate and geography.
You may have noticed that cyclists are quite unapologetic when confronting road-hog motorists. That's because cycling is superior to driving in several important ways:
- clean. No air pollution from car exhaust (or power stations for EV). Manufacturing a bike creates far less pollution than manufacturing a car. Bikes do not contain toxic fluids that requires elaborate disposal protocols.
- healthy. Cycling to work every day is a great way to get in shape. Driving a lot is a great way to do the opposite.
- safe. Because they have much lower mass and travel at slower speeds, bicycles are far less dangerous to others in a crash. I myself have been run over by a bicycle - got a nasty bruise and walked away. Cars are vastly more dangerous to pedestrians and property.
- national security. No need to import billions of dollars worth of oil from the Middle East. No need for the extravagant military spending that makes said importation possible.
Please reconsider your position. Share the road. It's better for everyone.
Bike trails are for weekend recreational cyclists. Nothing wrong with that.
Riding on the street and battling traffic is for daily bike commuters. Also nothing wrong with that. And a whole lot right with it.
If your giant 4 lane suburban road is unable to safely accommodate clean, efficient, healthy bicycle commuting - then perhaps the road should be reduced to 3 lanes for car traffic, and appropriate safe separated bike lanes provided.
It's good that people are seeing Surveillance Valley's real attitude toward free speech. Doesn't matter if you are "right" or "left". If you say something that offends the oligarchy, VC-controlled companies will censor you.
It would be a very small database. Antifa is 99% astroturf.
Even among impressionable young students, few indeed want to join a gang of brown shirt thugs that attacks anyone critical of bourgeois cultural imperialism.
GitHub's decline started long before the Microsoft acquisition. When they forced out the founder and declared meritocracy, and by extension merit, unwelcome.
Venture capital turns everything it touches into evil shit. Not just evil, not just shitty - evil & shitty.
Here's something fun to try: Do a Google search for "Google censorship". Then do a Yandex search for the same phrase. Compare the results, and draw your own conclusions.
"accidental infringement"? Good grief. These intellectual monopolists really need to be stomped by the state. Damaging public culture and making the whole world stupider - just so a bunch of dirtbag lawyers and a handful of washed up popstars can maintain their coke habits. Social leaches.
Are you troubled by delusions of National Socialism? Do you see Nazis everywhere? Is there a Nazi under your bed right now? You may be suffering from Nazis Are Everywhere Syndrome (NAES).
At last there is help! Try new Nazinol - scientifically proven to treat NAES. In some cases Nazinol treatment may even restore a patient's ability to see more than one side of political issues.
Caution: Nazinol may cause drowsiness, flatulence, red eyes, bayarrhea, increased appetite, anorexia, hot flashes, cold sweats, and projectile vomitting. Use of Nazinol while posting on Reddit is illegal in several states and the District of Columbia. Do not use Nazinol while driving.

Nah. Most of them are straight up astroturfers and disinformation operators.

UBS estimates the total cost to sell a Chevy Bolt is $44,200. That includes direct and indirect costs as well as dealer margin.

It's not a walled garden. It's a prison state.
So they're being railroaded with vague catch-all charges, as a smokescreen to shield the murderous law enforcers from public scrutiny. Nice!
I'd send a policeman. Not a paramilitary death squad.
Huh?
Almost as dangerous as overnight 7/11 clerk.
The police should be demilitarized. The idea that paramilitary death squads somehow make the public safer is a little silly, to say the least.
Random internet yahoos are random. One doesn't know what to expect. Whereas with law enforcers, one expects duplicity.
If they have nothing to hide, they ought have nothing to fear. Right?
Law enforcers lie all day every day. It's their culture, and the kangaroo courts encourage it.
OF COURSE I would believe a random Joe before I believe a law enforcer. Who wouldn't?
