You're reasons A-Z of why people find progressives intolerable. Saying colorblindness is racism is ludicrous. It makes *you* the racist, because you're saying that everyone isn't equal.
This makes you a supporter of scientific racism which is quite evil. "Whether it's true or not" indeed should never enter the equation of any practical decision for ethical reasons.
So you favor continuing the societal mechanisms that support the achievement gap? Because that's exactly what happens when you refuse to acknowledge it. You're putting you head in the sand and it's hurting black people, not helping them. Scientific racism would be arguing that the IQ gap can't be erased because it's biologically based. But that's not what I'm arguing-- I believe it's *not* biologically based, and that the gap can be erased. How can we do that if we pretend it doesn't exist?
Clear trivialization of sexual assault and the value of consent, and denial of the possibility that a woman might freeze at the terror of being raped. Calling this sexist and supportive of rape culture is reasonable.
So you're a sexist that believes women are delicate flowers who can't hold their own with men, got it.
You've quite accurately demonstrated the hypocrisy and faulty reasoning that belies thinking what I said is racist or sexist, thanks. Good luck next election, you're going to need it while you keep demonizing people who aren't actually what you're calling them.
Not either. You're a Mozilla employee shilling to defend 57.
Look at this dudes comment history, all he does is post in threads about 57 telling us how great it is.
God damn look at theweatherelectric's comment history, I nailed it, every single comment this dude has made is defending the changes in FF57. THIS GUY IS A PAID SHILL.
You're just shilling at this point, scroll up near the top of this thread for a number of posts that list all the things that are broken and never coming back, both whole plugins and functionality within plugins. Not to mention the UI and removal of built in options that make it more like Chrome all the time. And WebExtensions will never allow modifying the UI, just like Chrome. You've cited a couple minor features that aren't nearly enough to make 'Chrome clone' an inaccurate description after 57.
How's about Tab Mix Plus? Which will probably *never* be ready, maybe a far less useful version at best.
GreaseMonkey is so radically changed a lot of scripts are likely to break, and authors may have long disappeared or otherwise won't re-write.
Another user mentioned CTR. Entirely disallowed.
DownThemAll lost a lot of functionality.
And we've just covered major addons. What about the hundreds, even thousands, of smaller ones? Yeah, maybe a lot of them could technically be rewritten, if the developer is still around, and is willing to rewrite it, which would often entail having to work with the Firefox devs to get new functionality added in (assuming it's even allowed functionality, a lot won't be). Since that's such a high burden, let's face it, a lot of those smaller addons are dead and never coming back.
Personally I really like Download Manager Tweak for example, but the feature of it I use will not be allowed in WebExtensions, and the author isn't interested in rewriting one with far less functionality.
Not to mention a lot of users who have upgraded have said quite a large number of advanced configuration options have been removed, because part of Chromification is the inexorable march towards stomping on user choice and dumbing things down, which Firefox has already been doing for some time now.
Bottom line is 57 destroys a lot of plugins and plugin functionality that are gone forever. Given that plugin ability is the primary reason a large part of the userbase is still sticking with FF, there's just no way the benefits are worth this loss. Mozilla thinks being more like Chrome with its hostility towards power users will gain them more users than they'll lose, but what incentive is there for someone to switch away from Chrome to an imitator? My money is still on this ultimately being proven a disastrous decision, because I've seen far more existing users who plan to stick to 56 or the ESR as long as possible then dump FF than users that want 57, and can't fathom a reason to expect any kind of new user influx.
Sadly that's where we're at these days. I've been declared a racist because I hold the 'nazi' belief that we're all equal and decisions should be color blind. That infuriates the 'two wrongs make a right' crowd who believes we must address past discrimination by flipping which group gets the advantage. I'm also pure evil for acknowledging the black-white IQ gap; even entertaining the idea that such a thing exists makes you an alt-right nazi, nevermind that I'm calling for the problems that lead to it to be fixed. SJWs inform me that merely asking the question 'are scores different between blacks and whites' makes you irredeemably racist, because you've already exposed yourself as thinking there's even a possibility that there may be differences between races. Whether it's true or not never enters into the equation.
But that's nothing compared to how incomprehensibly sexist I am for having the unmitigated gall to believe that women are every bit as strong willed as men, and thus capable of saying 'no' to a sexual advance, so affirmative consent is not needed, and further that when a man and women are both drunk, the woman is just as responsible for her actions as the man-- regret isn't rape, and when two equally impaired people have sex, the woman isn't a victim nor is the man guilty of sexual assault. And I'm supporting rape culture and the patriarchy because I believe these college Title IX kangaroo courts lack essential due process, very clearly acting on a principle of 'guilty until proven innocent' and using a burden of proof so low it doesn't even come close to meeting the weak 'preponderance' standard it's ostensibly supposed to require (unless the person accused of misconduct is female, then the burden exceeds even 'beyond a reasonable doubt'-- in a case where a slightly buzzed woman gave a bj to a blacked out unconscious man, and explicitly admitted to that, it was the man who was found responsible for assaulting her. while unconscious. with his penis in her mouth.). If you don't support guilt upon accusation with no ability to challenge the veracity of the story, that means you support rape. Lawyers should be allowed to speak and ask any relevant question? How dare I support traumatizing the survivor with facts that cast doubt on her lived experiences.
Facts are racist, due process is sexist, and anyone not supporting the most radical actions of the progressives is Literally Hitler. And it's getting worse and worse and worse. The left is imploding because they can't stop turning on allies to the progressives who dare challenge the orthodoxy- flipping the oppressors instead of ending oppression, and insisting there's no difference at all between men and women, or between races. And god forbid you use peer-reviewed studies to show that the wage gap largely doesn't even exist because men and women on average make different choices-- science is just propaganda from the patriarchy. Demonizing white men likely contributed to Darth Cheeto's victory, but the left has just been doubling down on the same extreme identity politics, and is just asking for an even stronger backlash.
I'm extremely liberal myself, and would never even consider voting for a Republican, as I loathe 95% of their platform, but as a cis-hetero white male who insists on adhering to equality and facts, I feel very unwelcome in the left.
That's simply not true in the vast majority of the country. It's just hidden. Or did you miss when being clearly racist doesn't even disqualify someone from being president?
Maybe you're leaving some functionality out, but in such a game I would have expected it to come with a base load of songs, some songs offered by the developer as extras, but also documented or at least not hidden/encrypted modding ability accessible so players can add their own songs. Having to pay for each and every little expansion to prevent the game from becoming old and stale is the definition DLC done wrong, destroying the mod community so you can keep all the addon profit instead of it being free.
They used to, because law enforcement couldn't just listen to all conversations made on it since non-dealers use them too. Well, police and lawyers went crying to the courts about having to respect civil rights, and lo and behold the courts found yet another drug exception to the constitution, and nowadays police can simply tap any payphone they wish if they say it's known to be used by dealers. Now a lot of drug dealers are stupid and don't know this, but the big guys and the smarter ones do, so they're no longer used.
In this case, self-identified. Test takers are asked what their race is, and the group that checks 'white non-hispanic' and the group that checks 'black' are being compared. You can argue details all you want but it's silly to suggest that in the US, 'black' and 'white non-hispanic' are not valid racial groups; you can even restrict it to something really as superficial as skin color; I'm aware of the path your comment intends to go down, attempting to muddle clear sociocultural distinctions that apply to a large majority of individuals with genetic analysis indicating only small differences between races or large differences within races; that doesn't apply to what we're talking about and I think you know that. Edge cases that would identify as both aren't a statistically significant influencer, especially given parity with historical trends that are not correlated with increased intermarrying. If these divisions had no real meaning, then no differences would be found.
And in the 1930s, black people were below white people of the time, and below black people of today; I'm not sure what you're getting at there. The Flynn Effect applies against all groups, but largely ceased for those born after the 70s. Everyone's IQ went up for those decades before that, but it wasn't limited to only one group. All I'm pointing out is that there is a gap; I'm not speculating on why it exists, only that it is a consistent observed effect that is not in serious dispute. And it does matter, because the outcomes IQ is associated with don't change; the outcomes and other test correlates (SAT, LSAT, etc) for an IQ of a given range don't change with race.
What is clear though, the gap is not entirely attributable to genetics. Whether there's some influence is up for debate, but that there are other factors in play means there's a lot we can do to narrow the gap even if there is.
It does, with certain groups by a very big amount (1 full standard deviation, 15-16 points, between US whites and blacks in Rushton and Jensen (2005) and Roth et al (2001)). Whatever the reason. People like to immediately devolve into why there are observed IQ differences (assuming they even accept this scientific fact to be true to begin with, many don't, against evidence is so strong it makes climate deniers seem reasonable), and that's certainly important to look into... but the reality is these differences persist even after factors like poverty and education level are factored in. What's worse, it's been turned into a white supremacy thing even though white people aren't even the group with the highest average (Japan/Korea/China). Now for 99% of jobs someones IQ isn't really important, and even if it is other factors remain more important, so there's absolutely no way to justify discriminating based on it, but it's simply factually wrong to assert that no difference exists between major race groups, and the denial isn't going to help anyone. If you just close your eyes and pretend everyone is the same IQ, you're never going to address the problems that prevent that from actually being true.
And if you were going to reply criticizing that I'm talking only about IQ score, you're going to be sad when you look up if this issue is better or worse for test areas most strongly correlated to general intelligence rather than IQ score.
We need to fix the gap, not deny it exists (or fudge the numbers to make it look like it doesn't, some people want to adjust scores with a 'we're all obviously equal so the test is wrong and needs an offset').
Worst traitor huh...
What about someone who wraps their evil in the flag, purporting to fight for rights while working to destroy them. Deep rooted authoritarian fascism under the guise of 'I'm the good guy, and the government is standing up for freedom' with the hidden agenda of obliterating what remains of our civil liberties, to give American intelligence and law enforcement carte blanche to intrude as much as they desire in their own citizens lives, free from due process and accountability.
I'd say someone like that, even if you think Snowden was a traitor.. someone like that is an absolute monster in comparison, sadistic and ruthless in desire to exercise power without constraint, destroying the freedom they purport to defend. That comment and your previous ones reveal You are such a person. Snowden was a hero, it's people like you who betray this country by betraying the bill of rights, due process, and the very notion of liberty; not even suspicion being required to strip a citizen of their privacy and rights. Snowden should receive this nations highest honors as you face the charge of treason.
Ah, the classic argument 'not a murdering pedo, therefore moral and good'. We surrender. You're right, who cares that the government is actively working to strip our civil liberties and instituting a police state. Who cares the CIA spies on citizens in bulk, and turns over that info to domestic law enforcement for non-terror, non-violent crimes. They're not all the way there, and they're not raping and murdering kids (though civilian police officers already get away with such behavior), or machine gunning protesters, therefore we should all just shut up and worship our benevolent protectors.
You can fuck right off, you have zero credibility to talk about morality either with that 'not the worst therefore good' crap.
What asymmetry of dirt... Trump's corruption, race baiting, unethical business practices, lack of intelligence, pathological narcissism, bragging about sexual assault, etc were all open uncontested facts. Indeed he basically bragged about how terrible he was. What would have brought symmetry with Clinton? What could anyone have possibly had that would have made anyone change their mind who hadn't already seen what was going on? These were the two worst candidates in living memory, neither suffered for lack of truthful dirt.
Yes, the first amendment says 'no law'. But there's already tons and tons of cases where courts ruled that 'no law' only actually means 'no law we don't approve of'. There's a few exceptions to the first, massive exceptions to the second (which is permanently revoked from millions of people who aren't even a risk of violence) and fourth (police are basically allowed to ignore it), a few for the fifth. The third is holding strong at least. But imminent credible incitement to lawbreaking is one of the invisible exceptions in that 'no law' statement that sometimes for better and sometimes for worse, the courts and society agree we can make up as we go along.
That's a terrible business decision. Why wouldn't you attempt to sell the business to recoup some of your losses, or even potentially profit? And why would you have even bought a 14-year old company, 8 months ago, without doing your due diligence to understand the potential for profit? Face it, this was clearly union busting. They were told the company would shut down if they voted to unionize, they voted to do so, then they were shut down 1 week later, before any kind of discussion about contracts and costs had even been planned. Ricketts has made his hatred of unions very explicit in his own writings.
Doesn't matter whether you think he was right or wrong to do so, but claiming this had anything to do with the profitability or was anything other than blatant union-busting is just not accurate.
He bought the site just a few months ago. You really think he spent all that money acquiring it, then just realized it wasnt profitable? And then didn't even try to sell it to someone else? Come on.
Ugh, how many months now and we still have people posting comments like that? Anybody who got that from what he wrote clearly either hasn't read the memo or is deliberately lying to push the progressive lynching of the guy.

Oh and by the way, Gothamist was profitable. So that blows any financial argument out of the water, at least until contract negotiation time.
Gothamist was profitable. DNAinfo was not. So why shut down the profitable part? Oh yeah, this was union-busting, not a financial decision.
That's a terrible business decision. Why wouldn't you attempt to sell the business to recoup some of your losses, or even potentially profit?
And why would you have even bought a 14-year old company, 8 months ago, without doing your due diligence to understand the potential for profit? Face it, this was clearly union busting.

By long enough, you mean the what, 6 months, less I think, since he bought Gothamist? Which ran for a decade before that?
He bought the site just a few months ago. You really think he spent all that money acquiring it, then just realized it wasnt profitable? And then didn't even try to sell it to someone else? Come on.
Not an an aggregator. They had actual reporters doing original stories.
by the people he wants treated as second-class.
