I guess this new movement, won't be happy till we're all soy boys, and let's all forget about the aggressive behaviors that got us to this point in the world we're at to date.
Nope.....I guess its just time to be open about it and have them mandate estrogen injections to all men, and let's just get rid of us as a species for the most part.
But women that are for this, be careful...there's already lots of women out there that can't find a man to marry that they want to stay with, as that they aren't acting like "men" anymore.
As for that ad..they couldn't pay me to use a fucking gillette product again.
Actually she was offended by that someone wrote #metoo next to "boobies". Personally I think she has a point.
It's a joke.
Get over it.
Geez, everyone is out on a permanent crusade to be perpetually offended.
If you don't like it, sure express your opinion, but you needn't try to shut down a convention, or ruin someone else's day...or even ridicule someone that finds it funny. It's their right to have different opinions and different sense of humor than you.
At some point, the conferences like this need to just figure out, that the SJW's and snowflakes just will never be appeased, and just say fuck it, and go on and not worry about offending a niche interest, and go on with their main goals.
If you're afraid of losing corporate funding and advertisement, then figure a way to privately fund your gathering.
At this point, the mass of perpetually offended starting to go so far as to piss off the majority of people that don't really give a fuck about this whining, and just want to get on with things like we've been able to do in the US till recently just fine.
If you need the folks to kick in a bit more for tickets and donations to fund your gathering/convention, ask them and maybe even go out of your way to say this is to avoid the troubles that the SJW's and current batch of snowflakes try to pose if someone says the wrong thing, or makes a joke that others are offended by.
At some point, people need to have the courage to say "enough"...and basically if you don't like it...go somewhere else.
At some point you have to say "we don't give a fuck" and go about your business.
As long as you aren't breaking a law, they can't stop you.
They can bitch and moan, but you can escort them out and let them protest out in the cold and rain to their hearts delight, but you have to at some point figure there's always going to be a fringe that is loudly vocal and you just have to be willing to ignore them.
No thanks. If you are an asshole I am going to tell you about it. Sorry snowflakes. Time to grow up.
Fine call me an asshole, It really don't bother me, nor should it bother anyone else.
The point is, if what I say offends you, don't get all butt-hurt about it and complain and shut a whole conference down because someone there wrote something you didn't like.
If you don't like someone's sense of humor, don't let it ruin your day, and you needn't ruin someone else day either.
Unless I'm mistaken, that still seems like they can take your phone, run your prints... and I'm sure in a few years they could easily have a device to quickly 3d print the fingerprints onto some form of glove or something.
Well, that still won't do them any good, if you do NOT use a biometric passcode, such as a fingerprint.
They can try your prints all day long if you set a nice, complex passcode you have to type in.
...knowing how to use asynchronous communication mediums like Snapchat, txt messaging and Instagram will become more important than reading body language and listening to tonal changes in someone's voice.
Well, using txt and the like to communicate, anyone can do that, no special skills required, especially with spell check these days.
But you're never really doing to get away from personal interaction, especially when you get higher up and larger deals are made.
Usually for BIG money items, you do it in person and likely most always will.
Are all your interviews now over the phone or something? Nothing in person anymore to get your foot in the door?
Thing is, I don't think a college can even TEACH people skills.
It is something that is part nature (born with)...and part environment, how did you grow up and learn how to interact with people.
I have found that having really good people skills, especially if you can readily persuade people to do what you want, etc...can often be MORE valuable that pure tech knowledge and proficiency.
If you have people skills, and decent tech skills, you can go quite far, often further than those that are only tech, even if brilliant at it.
Sadly today, with the youth having grown up with faces stuck in phones and tablets rather than developing real people skills in meatspace, they are going to be at a disadvantage to those few that actually DID develop people skills.
I guess it is never too late to start to learn, but it sure is easier if you start out young, and learn how people interact, and how you can read them and interact with friends, and even manipulate others when needed.
I've not looked into it for years, as that way back Gentoo started being less and less supported by the forums there, etc.....just weren't as many people around nor as helpful as used to be...and update just seemed to break everything.
But wondering if custom compile might be the only option for those wanting to use older hardware or just trying to optimize for any hardware.
*Sigh* At least on Slashdot, you'd think people would comment on the technical chops to do what ISRO does, rather than try and be funny about Indians doing what American companies pay them money to do.
While against FB in general for privacy concerns, and I really feel strongly about them with reference to ALL the data they share/sell.....I have to wonder.
IN the US, we really don't have any by the book laws passed really on privacy.
I believe there has been rulings in the Supreme Court that privacy is somewhat protected (I think that was actually a major part of the Roe v Wade case surprisingly enough).....but really what protections do we US citizens have in law? Has FB actually broken any laws?
We don't have the laws on a Federal Level that is in the same vein as the GDPR in Europe, and I"m guessing there's precious little on the state and local levels.
So, while I"m all for sticking it to FB (even though people are stupid enough to willingly give so much info up on themselves), can someone cite what exact laws the broke with the Analytica and other info selling they've done and continue to do?
I mean, so far, they've made everything to date that remotely looks like privacy law to be "opt out" rather than "opt IN" as it should be.....
When you take the gun deaths put out by the US Feds themselves...if you remove things like suicide, and the gang shootings (criminals shooting criminals), you find that yourself as a normal citizen, has about the same chances of getting killed by a gun as you do winning a part of the lottery.
You have a better chance of dying in a car than by gunshot.
But wait, wasn't America already destroyed by the massive riots of the leftwing inner city gang thugs?
No, but ANTIFA and like minded groups, are going more for the death by a 1000 cuts methodology, along with the liberal/socialist brainwashing by those in charge of education.
It won't happen overnight...they seem to be going for the long game.
Of course...don't you know that earth's global warming is the leading cause of the failure of the sun, and eventually our whole solar system if we don't do something NOW??
Short version: A "coal roller" is a person who modifies their truck (it always seems to be a truck, never a sedan) to run fuel-rich, producing extra smoke.
Ok, not me...I've never owned a truck, only 2 seater sports cars all my life.
Now that could actually be way more amusing than a bunch of glitter that can more or less easily be vacuumed up. Imagine a big ball of peanut butter not constrained by a container containing an internal explosive-like device.
How about something like Anthrax....and just take a few thieves/criminals out of the gene pool and be done with it?
I wonder why he "pixellated' the faces out of the criminals he caught on film here?
They are holding the evidence GUILTY here....should have shown their faces for the world to see....perhaps even the lazy police might even have recognized a few of them.
Sham he couldn't put something a bit more punishing in there than glitter and fart smell.
You might be interested to know that the UK does pump out a lot of rifles and guns. This isn't some gun free haven like slashdot might have you believe. Our laws are roundabout in line with a lot of US states mostly.
No they aren't. At all.
Yeah, I'm with you...as far as I know in the UK, even if you 'can' privately own at home, semi-auto rifles/handguns....
I doubt seriously over there that you can:
1. Own all guns you want, without having to register them with any government entity.
2. Don't have to apply to have any sort of license to own any firearms you wish.
3. Can apply for and readily get a permit to carry concealed handguns if you wish.
4. Have private sales between private individuals, where there is no paperwork or government intrusion required.
5. Can manufacture your own firearms, and not have to serialize them, nor register them with any govt. entity.
Now, one thing I will give Europe and many places outside the US, they do understand the value of saving ones 'hearing', and noise pollution, and over there as I understand it, if you ARE able to own and use firearms, you can readily get silencers over there....they aren't treated as the "dangerous" item they are here in the US, where you have to jump through paperwork hoops and long waiting times plus pay $200 tax stamp for each one.....
If this is not true about the UK and the greater EU...please let me know where I"m wrong.
Actually upon my first reading of the title, and skimming the article, I saw AR company in the UK, and I was puzzled why they wold pick the UK to build rifles.....
For me at least....the most IMPORTANT thing I would insist upon is that whenever artificial meat is sold, whether in a grocery store OR in a restaurant...I want by law to have it CLEARLY labeled as such.....so I can readily avoid this shit.
If others want it, more power to them, but I want it clearly labeled so I can make that choice.
We should all be able to easily know what our food is and where it comes from so we can better make our individual decisions on what we and our families ingest.

You act like there's something wrong with that.
Are you one of those out there that also think it is best to break down men in general, and emasculate them?
It's a joke.
Get over it.

How about trying NOT to be in a constant state of looking to be offended?
Get the fuck over it, you should not have your whole life ruined because someone make a joke, off color, sexist, racist or not...
If it offends you, blow it off, surely you have MORE important topics that need your attention?
Well, that still won't do them any good, if you do NOT use a biometric passcode, such as a fingerprint.
They can try your prints all day long if you set a nice, complex passcode you have to type in.
I know, most people don't seem to value privacy, but if you have any at all, doing biometric should be a no go from the start.
Well, using txt and the like to communicate, anyone can do that, no special skills required, especially with spell check these days.

Is Gentoo a viable option these days?
I guess this is new from the "Are You Fucking Kidding Me Department".....?
Geez, now we're having to police acroyms, because someone might read something into one and be snowflake offended?
I've always seen that as normal time is for 40 hour weeks, with only over 40 hours per week being OT.
I've not seen OT defined as over 8 hours in a day anywhere before....?
CA does it by the 8 hour day?
Thank you....come again!!

I don't have a fancy app or anything, but if I see an incoming call I don't recognize from my contacts list, I just don't answer it.
If they aren't spam, they'll leave a message and I can call them back.
I thought most everyone was doing pretty much that these days....?
Actually upon my first reading of the title, and skimming the article, I saw AR company in the UK, and I was puzzled why they wold pick the UK to build rifles.....
Interesting.
Not quite sure what a "coal roller" is, I've not heard that term before.
I'm pretty neutral on coal, never really given it much thought, so, I'm guessing I'm not one......
If others want it, more power to them, but I want it clearly labeled so I can make that choice.
We should all be able to easily know what our food is and where it comes from so we can better make our individual decisions on what we and our families ingest.
