    Most county health departments provide free vaccines, mine does, and the previous counties I've lived in have as well. It might not be convenient, but it's an option.

    "pure as the driven snow", when have we had a leader like that? Even Washington was a pretty terrible person. Everyone who makes it high enough is awful, but I'm not going to pound broken glass up my ass just because my only other choice is sitting naked on a cactus.

  4. As Mike Pence quoted, "Our society will be judged by how we treat the most vulnerable..."
    Too bad he has his "Christian" blinders on and thinks our responsibility ends at birth.

  5. Do you have any idea how difficult it is to be the outlier, to keep your children's head above that water? It sounds like you do not, and have little empathy or curiosity about the way others live.

  6. Your wrong, none of this is new. Check out, The Big Change, pop down to chapter 16.
    If you read this whole book, you will really be surprised at how similar things are to the things happening in our lifetime. I was.

  7. It's because we don't live in a capitalist society, we live in a managementist society. For a variety of reasons (risk, diversification, buying power), people have been convinced to chop up their "capital" into tiny bits so they really have any say in how it's used by the people who use it.

    Look at who actually calls the shots at companies. Google has different classes of stock to "protect" the voting rights of a select few, while harvesting money from the un-anointed.

    The ACLU disagrees, with the NRA, on how the 2nd amendment is meant to be read. Many American's do, with many laws. That's why we have courts.

    Why should the ACLU waste their resources on the 2nd amendment. There are plenty of other organizations.

  11. A sword is clearly offensive, a sword breaker would be a more defensive tool.

  12. A sword is offensive, security is defensive. It does not cut, it prevents you from being cut.

  13. That's a shitty analogy, that's like saying fences are a double edged sword. Don't try to defend it.

    I feel you, I worked my way up from help desk and making that transition from help desk to anything else is pretty difficult. I know I could have performed any of my first jobs without the ITT education, but I'll never know if I would have had the chance without it on my resume.

    In hindsight I should have dropped out as soon as I got my foot in the IT door, since I got my first helpdesk job when I was barely into the first semester.

    Not to mention the scheduling issues you run into at any CC. Required courses that fill up a semester or two before you need them, other courses that are only available at times you usually work. Bosses of white collar workers can be assholes, but it's nothing like the kind of bosses you can find in low level retail or food service work.

    Walk a mile in my shoes.

    I attended ITT tech, my education did little but provide a degree. I learned on the job and at home, I've been fairly successful despite ITT. There are a couple benefits to a place like ITT that I don't see anyone talking about.

    I was married with a child on the way, doing temp office work and warehouse work, usually 2 jobs. I had been attending a traditional University's local campus, but working full time and taking classes is difficult and takes more then 4 years. In hindsight, I probably should have tried for an Associates through the regular University, but it's difficult to find those sorts of opportunities. Everything is geared towards a Bachelor's degree. Required classes are usually offered at very specific times and may not have enough sessions. You can easily burn a semester or two waiting on a class opening.

    In comparison, a place like ITT tech has every class you take offered at the same time, same day of the week. It's an easy progression without breaks or scheduling problems. To someone working a full time job, this is very tempting. Too bad it's literally too good to be true. I graduated in 2001 and still have about $40k in student loans...

    I'm dumping my moderation to reply to this stupidity.

    Unless your proposing some sort of Genocide or preemptive "cleansing" it won't be "target practice" Nobody is holding still and waiting to be shot. They're shooting back, their hiding; your basically accepting a guerrilla movement by the poor and disenfranchised. Even if you, assuming you are one of the economically gifted, survive and put down the poor; society will be forever changed. It won't change for the better either, and you will certainly lose people you care about.

  24. It's an issue now... err.. known issue... It's probably been an issue all along.

    I have a toggle on my main screen, it's very simple. I also disallow the google location services, which make very good "guesses" about your location based on cell towers and nearby wifi. I'm not sure how this helps me in any way, I know how it helps Google. If I wan the phone to know where I am, I toggle on GPS, if I don't, I leave it off. Most apps that want to know have an option for zip code, which is what they get.
