Big Corps have no problem destroying the environment or exploiting children in Bangladesh to increase profits, yet you believe they would stop at "patriarchal prejudices"? Give me a break.
If hiring women meant same work for less pay, men would be massively unemployed.
I'll make sure to ask the staff to use blood from a 'known and tested source' if I ever get in a car accident and lose enough blood to need a transfusion. Never mind the fact that I'll be unconscious and that a few minutes of delay means I'll die.
Not sure where you get the idea that Quebec is anything like France. In France, workers are entitled to 5 weeks of vacations per year. In Quebec it's 2. Stores in Quebec also typically close at 9pm on weekdays.
San Francisco is a bad example. The municipality constantly denies new housing permits. The only reason your logic works is because in this case the number of available housing stays the same, when it shouldn't.
This is only if you're coming from one of the seven banned countries.
This is false, several Canadians were refused at the border, despite giving them their smartphones and passwords. Source in french: La Presse (Yes she was born in Morocco, but she is a Canadian citizen, traveling with a Canadian Passport, and has been living in Quebec for 20 years.
You're confusing family poverty to kids having no money. Coming from a poor family means more unwanted pregnancies etc; we know that [citation needed].
The OP is talking about young people with middle class parents but no way to leave home until their 30s.
Oh please. We've had this discussion everytime a new high end phone comes out since the iPhone 3G. Phones aren't just phones anymore. They're really small computers that fit into your pocket, and for most people, do more than a 5000$ PC did 15 years ago.
The only reason I have a Pebble Time Round is to be able to quickly glance at my wrist to know if it's worth it to take out my phone.
It may seem like a useless luxury but on busy 15+ hours work days where I have to use walkie-talkie and receive emails, sms, and calls practically every 4-5 minutes while trying to decrypt people's complaints in the walkie, it does make my job slightly easier.
I understand that few people have a need for it. It's basically just a 'phone notifications on your wrist' device.
They're a scummy company to say the least. They routinely call my company about our 'expiring SSL certificates', trying to make us renew with them, while pretending they issued our current certificates (which they obviously haven't).
They basically crawl the whole web looking for expiring certificates and call everyone, pretending to be the issuer.
Telling them to fuck off doesn't do anythying; they're still calling every time we have a certificate due to expire within a few months.
Oh and they're the only ones willing to provide a cert for TPB.
Wow, those things about bodybuilders... they're all wrong. Really wish I had mod points.
It's basically the exact opposite: used all the time, cheap, easy to acquire.
Two hyphens mean the start of a comment. That way the rest of the SQL syntax is basically ignored, so your DROP TABLE Students; is actually applied without errors.
Saying having a high IQ makes you smart is like saying being strong or fast automatically makes you good in sports.
It obviously helps but it is one factor amongst many.
The real reason is probably because they are cheaper, and because with a lot of providers you pretty much don't have a choice.
My girlfriend needed a new phone. Her choices were either an iPhone (most expensive), several different android devices (from free with a contract to almost as expensive as an iPhone), or a blackberry. She didn't need a smartphone but ended up with an android (still stuck on 2.3).
I never said it was a mature thing to do ; I'm saying it isn't sexist. I can't be bothered to quote wikipedia or a dictionary for a definition of the word 'sexist'.

I agree but need to point out that 'identical twins' do not have identical genes.
So there are differences between twins and clones.

No, the distinction is important, as having HIV does NOT mean you have AIDS. And no one who has AIDS has ever been cured, unlike HIV.
If you start in 1973, the same age as your house, you will note the massive success called the Drug Enforcement Administration.
And now we now for sure you're a full of shit boomer. The DEA is overall a massive failure. The war on drugs is a massive failure.
That they are opportunities to learn and grow. Children certainly do not grow as individuals when they have every problem in life solved for them.
Ah yes, those infants with bone cancer surely are learning a lot about life before they die at the ripe age of 2. (But obviously they never grow.)

You can bet it would be deemed 'misogynist' if it would have been about Hillary Clinton.

And how they deliver data to your screen for free is their business.
Should they then be liable when their ads serve malware/viruses?
The Samsung Paper Bag will be more paper, and water proof.
See this, kids? That's why we need Sex Ed, or you will end up believing total bullshit about birth control.

FTA: "These users are using data amounts well in excess of our largest plan size (100GB)."
Well duh, isn't that the whole point of getting an unlimited data plan? Using more data than the capped ones?
Getting offtopic but citation needed. Amazon has been operating without profit for 22 years? Really?

There's really no reason ever to use C over C++ if you have a C++ compiler available.
Hehehe. Tell that to Linus. ;)
