Republicans are dividing the country without realizing that their part of the country is rapidly becoming irrelevant. There's also the fact that Democrats won every state but Kentucky in the under 30 vote so eventually all of you backwards idiots are going to just die out. Looking forward to that.

I have been very disappointed in the response of the losing side over this election. This is the kind of behavior I feared that would flare up on the other side when Trump lost the "rigged" election and the faithful rose up in revolt. It's not what I would expect from the allegedly rational side of the fence. They don't even have the excuse that Hillary egged them on.
In fact, the only excuse they could possibly make is that "this is how Trump would do it". So tell us again how you're better than he is?
People aren't rational, especially "true believers". We most certainly would have seen anti-HRC demonstrations had she won the day. I would wager that the response from Trump supporters would have been much, much worse than what we are seeing now, but that is academic.
It is only a few (hundred? thousand?) out of millions of voters being assholes. I wonder how many of them didn't bother to go vote?
Outright banning them is too extreme in my opinion, in part because of the appearance of or risk of censorship.
Instead, tag the suspect stories, or all stories, with a link to lists of alternative sources, viewpoints, and fact-checking sites for the claims given.
By the way, some conservatives consider politifact.com and snopes.com to be left-leaning. Evidence of this is thin, or at least doesn't show significant bias in my inspections. (I see errors in ranking judgement more than bias.)
However, assuming it is left-leaning, where is the right's alternative?
When you are extreme right everything else leans left.
I raise your Seagal for Christopher Lee, who said when asked to act out a the gasping sound from being knifed said "it's not a sound one forgets". He was a real soldier not a weekend gun nut anarchist. He could tell you that you need a squad to get things done and that a single guy against an army is called a practice target no matter how well armed the single guy is.
That would be a neat trick, since Mr. Lee passed away last year.
How did the first self-replicating molecule originate? Know one knows, but "I don't know" is a lot better answer than "God did it".
Unfortunately many induhviduals have an almost pathological aversion to the words "I don't know". "God did it" is a nice comfortable catch-all to explain away the unknown, because the unknown is frightening to them.
People have become so risk averse in the western world that we would rather watch someone die a slow suffocating death from an allergy than actually help the person because, "only experts can do that." We have this phobia of doing anything outside of our specialization. A phobia that is largely propagated by the "experts" of various fields to ensure their own job security and their elite status. Several of the commentators on this article need to stop whimpering in the corner, worried about the new, and instead do what it takes to help those around you. Sometimes that means working on changing the laws and changing the way we do things.
You can also thank our litigious society as well. Helping someone carries the risk of being sued these days.
The bottom line is that the "conservatives" advocating abstinence training are actually right. The only actual way to reduce teen pregnancy is to encourage them to stop fucking so much. The birth control available to them _does not work_. They should all just screw bareback from what I can see.
Obviously we must fit all teenagers with chastity belts! By Everlast!
I ended up married in my 40s, so I never got much of a chance to test this prediction.
Well I ended up divorced in my 40s, and I will tell you my dating life is completely non-existent. Granted I have several factors working against me that contribute heavily towards my lack of success but having a full time job, disposable income and a (new) vehicle isn't doing anything to help.
I did not think it possible for a VP nomination to make me even less likely to vote Trump. Guess I was wrong. HRC could pick a fresh steamer out of her porcelain throne and it would be a better pick.

>You mean the generation who literally, in the truest sense of the word, would attack a black guy if he was talking to a white woman?
Not everyone back then was a Democrat, dude.
Yesterday's Democrat (or Republican) is not anything like today's.
Not bad, IMHO. Better than some of the ideas they had a short time ago.
Another unique ability that homo sapiens has? Planning for the future.
Next quarter's profits? Sure. Next year and beyond? Not so much.

Let's get some truth in advertising please? Anything less than full bandwidth 24x7 should not be called "unlimited".
We don't use that word here in Corporatist America. We use the term "campaign contributions".
I saw Bigfoot drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic's.
His hair was perfect.

Then you'll see that it is not the coin that flips, but you.
I thought that was only in Soviet Russia?

Okay, but what exactly is Uber spending $1.2B on?
Strippers, hookers, and blow. Drugs and sex are the fastest way to burn money from what I have seen.
The rest they squandered on useless stuff.

Sounds like a song title from Infant Annihilator.

Can't do stairs
Obviously not a real Dalek. Real Daleks don't bother with stairs, they just level the building.
You almost wonder about the choice of name as Itanium is close to Titanic, which is about the size of its failure.
Hence the nickname "Itanic"
They actually added a "don't bug me anymore" link on the nag screen. Not very prominent, but it's there! Whether it works or not remains to be seen.
I know there's a bit of a stereotype of nerdygirls being redheads (either natural or dyed)
I am a big fan of red-headed nerd-girls. Like a moth to the flame, so to speak.
> slow 5400 RPM drives
Which isn't all bad on a laptop since it's quieter and uses less power.
SSDs are even quieter and use even less power. Only real advantage the 5400 drive has is cost.
Jeez, just run up a few stairs... You'll be fine.
Real Daleks don't climb stairs - they level the building.
