You mean when someone shows that your premise is not only wrong but completely wrong? The dividing European political dichotomy(ies) is ridiculous because all the parties are left-wing, differing only in degree. In other words, it depends on perspective. Then there's the issue of what defines right and left being somewhat different in both places.
Accusing Americans of amerocentrism while judging them from eurocentric perspectives and biases is wildly hypocritical to say the least.
While it's true that these companies can set whatever policies they like, it does not mean these they are not doing harm to liberty in the society as a whole. One of the most difficult aspects of liberty is defending it from those who use theirs to attack it.
I agree, pence could've handled that much better. There were plenty of escapes from the fallacies presented by the performers that would've made a solid public statement after the performance. If the performers weren't the snowflakes they were, they would've performed the show and saved the politics for a sane discussion afterward, instead of weaving passive aggression and leers throughout the performance.
Kelloggs could've said "We like people who like kellogg's cornflakes" instead of taking sides, and, iirc, it was a starbucks employee who bitched about writing 'trump' on a cup which set that incident off. Companies really shouldn't be taking sides in identity politics. It just shrinks their maximum potential markets.
None of this compares to the decades of cry-bullying by left wing demagogues, esp on university campuses. These kids aren't learning this behavior in vacuums, and these days, it starts in grade school. These PC wankers are one of the big reasons trump won despite his obvious flaws. Trump supporters have a lot of catching up to do in order to reach equity with this legacy.
Not quite. That's part of it, but they are also using their platform to push an anti-freespeech agenda (which is also their right). Considering the influence they have on online discourse today, their actions are not benign.
All the convoluted modulation required to squeeze all that bw into sane amounts of spectrum multiplied by the number of devices in close proximity will inevitably be less efficient than hardwired equivalents using similar modulation methods.
Even if somehow you managed to squeeze all of this fantasy into a mobile formfactor, someone will want a whole bunch of it crammed into a much bigger box because top performance is more important than portability for the use case.
I know people are obsessed with mobile, but there will always be those who require hardware and software that allows more flexible user-defined workflows. Mobile's locked down software distribution and fisher price interfaces cannot do this.
https://github.com/umlaeute/v4... If kdenlive supports v4l2, this might help. I don't have a dv cam to test this with, but the module builds just fine on my x86_64 kernel 4.8.11 system. All I did was clone with git and type make. Your distro might even have pkgs for it.
Well, then they can quit obfuscating the information that consumers want. It would save them from the researching that requires "A GENERAL PURPOSE COMPUTER" to accomplish efficiently. (good luck with that)
mobile is a compromise platform. These issues cannot be entirely optimized away. When optimal productivity is needed, nothing replaces a good pc with high pixel density monitor.
That's not true. He can write a pardon preemptively if he chose.. The president's power in this regard is limitless, except for impeachment (which makes total sense).
In Biddle v. Perovich 274 U.S. 480 (1927), the Supreme Court reversed the doctrine, ruling that "[a] pardon in our days is not a private act of grace from an individual happening to possess power. It is a part of the Constitutional scheme. When granted it is the determination of the ultimate authority that the public welfare will be better served by inflicting less than what the judgment fixed."[11]
I think this fits snowden's situation quite well. Of course, today's federal government would probably disagree, as they are the criminals here.
How feminism works in practice? Well that's a first. Usually people like you are quoting the dictionary definition to make the requisite argument from authority.
I don't know when you went to school, but public schools are largely run by the left these days.. It's more likely he'd be canned for inciting "hate speech" or "space invalidation" when one of his students picks apart some social justice blabber (also learned in school) with his newfound rationality.
Actually it's both parties.. The right don't want youth thinking through the bullshit of religion, and the left simply bills their own demagoguery as 'critical thought.'
Yes we are. We're no longer 'allowed' to speak out when we're mistreated. We're told, in various ways, to "check our privilege" like that somehow justifies what's happened. It's now perfectly ok to mistreat and discriminate against people as long as they're white|straight|male. It's just not talked about except when it's time to shame those who dare speak about it in the mainstream. It hurts us when HR shuffles resumes to the bottom to meet racial/sexual quotas. Same with college applications. It's ok to have all-girls schools, businesses, clubs. Not so with men. When women do it, they're 'empowered', when men do it, the assumed justification is they're sexist misogynists. Most men have now internalized this, taking feminism on as the new chivalry and shaming other men for non-compliance (a nice counter-example of the 'internalized misogyny' argument feminists love to use against non-compliant women).
Then there's the argument of 'systemic oppression.' Well there it is, codified into the law in the form of 'affirmative action.' Affirmative action law has been around quite some time and has done real damage to our culture, which has accepted the idea that women need help by default, and that men are now 'a problem'. This demonizes men and infantilizes women, eroding natural, healthy relations between them. There is nothing equal, healthy, or viable about this.
That drama queen shit on the net is merely the most outspoken elements of those groups expressing themselves on relatively new fronts of the culture war (eg gamergate), but don't kid yourself. This problem is not 'just a few idiots' online. They have been damaging society for decades now.

using headphones and playing outside are not mutually exclusive.

Your conclusion is illogical.
No, that's not what I said at all.
It's the school system that created all this snowflake syndrome we have now. You think that shit starts in college? I have news for you.
Yeah, but that doesn't justify totalitarian culture policing for the sake of feelings.
Manning the weapons chair at the ancient outpost, duh..
exactly.
Not quite. That's part of it, but they are also using their platform to push an anti-freespeech agenda (which is also their right). Considering the influence they have on online discourse today, their actions are not benign.
Oh yes it does. Being manipulated into something is not the same thing as a conscious choice.
no, the industry is pushing people that way, using appeals of convenience to challenge their better judgements.

I know people are obsessed with mobile, but there will always be those who require hardware and software that allows more flexible user-defined workflows. Mobile's locked down software distribution and fisher price interfaces cannot do this.
Well, if they want full flexibility, yes. Mobile is not going to give them that.

It is his right to criticize abuse of symbols meant to celebrate accomplishment.

So then what? Prime becomes $150/mo? We're back to cable again.. Live sports are expensive. Since I don't watch it I don't want to pay.

The point being made here is the discrepancy between what feminists say they are and what they actually do. Quoting the dictionary is a non sequitur.
