What I'm SAYING is that I've had enough of it and I'm not prepared to countenance any more. And using previous administrations misconduct as an excuse for more misconduct is unacceptable.
PERIOD. Anything beyond that is something you are reading into it.
I'd have to see how that poll was formulated. Because my first reaction to that is "bullshit!"
Exactly. Anything you don't like or doesn't fit your narrative: BULLSHIT.
Trump HIMSELF was quoted as saying that the US should consider abolishing term limits (like China): http://www.businessinsider.com...
It's a quote dude. He said it. There's no dispute on that.
No. I said my first reaction was "bullshit".
But, as I said, I'd like to see how the poll was formulated.
There's a difference between dismissing it and wanting to know more.
Enough laws were already violated by previous administrations who shall remain nameless.
That's called "whataboutism". You dismiss things like suggesting the constitution should be changed to allow Trump to be king with "well, OBAMA DID OTHER STUFF!!!". Seriously, how about just judging each situation on it's merits? I learned when I was 4 that two wrongs don't make a right. If you think Obama committed some terrible crimes, GO GET HIM. What's stopping the Republican house, senate, and presidency from opening an investigation into Obama? Aren't you upset with your R elected officials that they are letting Obama off the hook after he committed all those crimes? Why are you voting for people that let criminals like Obama go free?
Oh for fuck's sake.
My POINT is that violating laws simply because OTHERS have violated laws IS NOT OKAY!
Seriously, you're going to let something as temporal as the POTUS drive you THIS fucking bug-nuts?
Do you ENJOY flagellating yourself this much?
You don't like him, you don't like his supporters. FINE. He's gone in 4 years IF YOU ACT LIKE SANE PEOPLE. He's gone in 8 if you continue acting this way (and then gets replaced by someone just like him).
Don't you see how this sort of crazed, bitchy, vindictive behavior is simply pushing people in the near left and center ever further right, even as you and your compatriots dash ever further left?
The new iMac Pro is, apparently, almost completely unsupported by Apple (very few to no technicians trained to service them). Worse, they're badly engineered as well. The stand/VESA mount issue is beyond the point of farce.
They're willing to fuck over major reviewers with huge reach on repairs for these expensive devices. So. How's Apple going to treat YOU with YOUR significantly less expensive device?
Okay, so they're creating a tax, but doing nothing to actually offset. And don't BS me about "clean power". Because all it is, at that point, is an endless money grab. I'd rather see the money go into bringing carbon sequestration tech to scale.
What? People are unsatisfied because they're being asked obviate the need for their skillset by being made to train some pennies-on-the-dollar cubicle farmer to do everything they're paid a fair wage to do, then getting laid off?
Hell, if I knew my employer were trying to do that, *I* would be unsatisfied with my pay too. Since my pay is balanced against where I live and how I live. And the fact that I'm going to have to make savings stretch when they, inevitably, let me go.
The problem is that TFA, RO and TLJ DID. And that turned people off.
TFA was basically ANH reworked, and the primary character was an glaringly obvious Mary Sue.
RO was a better story, better directed and generally better overall. The primary was still a Mary Sue, just not so terribly overpowered.
And TLJ. If movies were drag queens, TLJ was like trotting out Divine.
The storytelling was nearly non-existent. The entire plot thread for Kelly Marie Tran was infantile and ridiculously forced. The Laura Dern character was every stupid, obstructionist, bad boss cliche EVER. And the Luke Skywalker plotline and completion was a giant "fuck you" both to the actor and fans. It's like the Resistance decided to stop passing around the idiot ball and just raided an idiot ball factory so everybody could have one.
In short, TFA kinda started to turn them off to the new Star Wars. Rogue One was working to bring them back. Then TLJ basically drove them all off again. So when Solo came out, they were like "Fool me once..."
Funny, up until a few years ago, there was no mention of Nazism being "conservative" or "right-leaning" in the definition. Maye compared to Joe Stalin, sure. But isn't that EVERYONE?
I have numerous dictionary and encyclopedia entries to pull from.
So, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the modern redefinition of nazi has been done with a distinct political bias.
In a way that won't be abused to further OTHER forms of oppression, or isn't easily circumvented through legal or linquistic trickery.
Sure, everyone knows what harm FEELS like, but actually defining it for a legal framework is dangerous in the extreme. Mainly due to all the special interests and the various axes they have to grind...
Nazism is the nationalization of businesses via nationalization of the owners. And if they can't nationalize the owner, they divest the owner and put a crony in charge.
That's redistribution of wealth. A hallmark of Leftist ideology.
It kinda sounded like "You don't want to buy our stuff. You want to buy stuff from someone who isn't going to place limits on you doing what you want with your own device."
Slashdot Mirror
Name me ONE government out there that qualifies as "healthy" these days...
7 million dollars.
Wow.
Apple spends more than that on TOILET PAPER!
Their annual revenues are north of 200 BILLION and have been since 2015.
This isn't even a slap on the wrist.
This is more of a smiling "tsk tsk tsk" while shaking a "naughty naughty" finger at them.

Violating more laws just to get at them isn't an answer.
Maybe it'll bite them in the ass.
However, there comes a point when some people just have nothing to lose.
So, if they're screwed no matter what, they're going to get a "fuck you" in on their way out.
And I'm sorry, but I SERIOUSLY disagree that putting Clinton in the Oval Office was "in the best interests of this country".
She's an influence peddler, a kleptocrat and has botched every job she's been given.
Democrats are mostly just keeping quiet at the moment
OH REALLY?
So we've been IMAGINING them falling all over themselves for the last 18 months to potshot the administration?
Tell us how you REALLY feel.
Seriously, you're going to let something as temporal as the POTUS drive you THIS fucking bug-nuts?
Do you ENJOY flagellating yourself this much?
You don't like him, you don't like his supporters.
FINE.

Social justice.
It basically encourages lack of actual critical thought. Rots your brain.
The city's so far in debt that they're staving off a Detroit incident by a degree measured in angstroms.
And they're going to spend out for this? What IS it about the problems of public transit that politicians just don't understand?
The new iMac Pro is, apparently, almost completely unsupported by Apple (very few to no technicians trained to service them).
Worse, they're badly engineered as well. The stand/VESA mount issue is beyond the point of farce.
They're willing to fuck over major reviewers with huge reach on repairs for these expensive devices.
So. How's Apple going to treat YOU with YOUR significantly less expensive device?
And very VERY few of them actually survive.
Okay, so they're creating a tax, but doing nothing to actually offset.
And don't BS me about "clean power".

Is AMD REALLY causing you to fill your drawers that badly?

Exactly, compared to the Gross World Product (GWP), $100-200 a ton is a BARGAIN.
And it's not like we have to pull it all out in one giant "go".
You set up modest operations worldwide, while still working to reduce emissions.
Also, since we're dealing with essentially free-capture of air, building in things like particulate capture could be straightforward and economical.

Again, the businesses were nominally private, but the owners themselves were "nationalized".

And throw away the room.
Sorry, but these things are tantamout to volunteering to be spied upon 24x7.
I'm sure they're cool and entertaining and may have some actual utility.
But I wouldn't be caught dead with one of the fucking things.
What'd they expect?
Apple's basically going to make them fight this one all the way up the chain.
