  1. Re:Tradeoffs on 'No Turning Back' on Brexit as Article 50 Triggered (bbc.com) · · Score: 1
    With "defending" you mean like Wellington vs Napoleon ?

    We in the low countries didn't really benefit a lot from all that "defending". It was just another set of imperialist assholes screwing us over.

  2. Re:Several languages! on Ivanka Trump To Take Coding Class With 5-Year-Old Daughter (hollywoodlife.com) · · Score: 1

    (Just yesterday I was nearly thrown over the bridge by a C# programmer)

    Let me guess, hetried to throw you, but you were caught?

    I take exception to that.

    At least it wasn't fatal

    No that's because he finally let him return

    Yeah that rollout.io thing looks like it's designed to circumvent the apple app store rules. Very robust business plan.

    Right, and the iron curtain outside the city was something that you could just stroll through.

  8. Re:Sure, if they are H-1B.... on Microsoft Seeks Trump Order Exemption for Workers With Visas (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    As long as you like snow in winter and skating on your lake. To me that's an undesirable lifestyle. One of the things that's an order of magnitude better in CA than in Minnesota is the weather. It's one of the other reasons people want to live and work there and that drives the prices up.

  11. However, one could argue that the very act of voting a racist into power is an act of racism.

  12. Re:Waaah! on IBM Employees Protest Cooperation With Donald Trump (theintercept.com) · · Score: 2
    That dictator started out as a painter. I am sure no one wanted to compare him with Attilla the Hun in 1910.

    Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it

  13. That's why everyone will need (Trump) towers ! It's all part of a plan.

  23. Leftist in US terms means centrist in the rest of the world. There is no real left in the US. Travel a bit and you'll get it. So from the outside it looks like US media are centrist. Apart from Fox.

    Ah, the power of the false equivalency !
