OK: I literally walked into a classroom where the young teacher was telling the students: "The Democrats wanted slaves during the civil war. In today's world, it's flipped, now the Republicans want black people to be slaves again." that's a direct quote. That's teaching ideology.
The proud bird restaurant in Los Angeles, before they refurbed it, used to have sets of headphones along a window looking out over the LAX runway. You could sit and listen to air traffic chatter there while having a meal. I'm not sure if they survived the refurb, I assume not.
I have a departure from this, and I'm almost hesitant to mention it for fear of destroying it. JetBlue has a subsidary/sister company called JetsuiteX, runs 25 passenger small jets between Burbank CA, Las Vegas NV, San Jose CA and a couple of other seasonal routes. Fares are equivalent to normal flights, however they operate out of their own hangar. They run a TSA precheck on you, and quick bomb swab when you arrive. NO TSA security theater/your water is evil/take off your shoes/our scanner isn't working. You can arrive 30 minutes before departure-you wait in the hangar, they've got free snacks and foosball. Flight was calm, one attendant handing out stuff- which included free drinks! When you arrive at your destination, no rotating baggage conveyor: they just set your bags down next to the plane exit and off you go. Curb to curb, roughly 1.5 hours LA to Vegas
I recently flew it from Burbank to Vegas, BEST FLIGHT EVER. Free drinks, too.
They also don't hire stewardesses anymore. I got cursed at for using that term: They're all stewards. Though frankly, I'd subdivide that group into gay men and cranky old women.
I was unaware he belonged to the National Socialist Party of Germany. I'm a bit confused by the link, as murdering cunt fits him properly, but I guess I don't know everything.
I'm convinced that the phone carriers originally allowed robocalls to flourish on the landline market to force people off them onto their more expensive cell services. Now, however, they're hassling their cell services too: but they still don't care, because where the hell else are you going to go?
The ACLU of today doesn't really care about civil rights, other than those rights they support. Remember that whole " we protected their right to march as nazis in Skokie because first amendment"? Today's ACLU would be bringing legal challenger against that march.
Exactly! The busybody old biddies of years gone by were easy to recognize and ignore. Somehow, they managed to infect the "cool" youth with that same streak of sticking their nose in everyone else's business and telling them what to do.
Everything , and I mean everything on the internet is basically a simulacrum of the real world. And in these areas, they eventually run into the same problems that occurred in the real world, and will probably arrive at similar solutions. AirBNB will probably be regulated like regular hotels, because of issues that occurred in hotels over time Lyft/Uber will probably be regulated like regular taxis, because of issues that occurred in Taxis over time
And Facebook / et al will probably end up being regulated like any town square: meaning right now, this pronouncement is the stab at forbidding harmful thought by dictators, which eventually in the US led to the First Amendment to the Constitution. You can't make the world a better place by simply banning bad things. You need to fight them with good ideas.
So many people forget this, that people are complicated, deep creatures. There are many people in the world generally good with one ( or more) tragic flaws, for whatever reason. We judge them based on the balance of their flaws. Good points can outweigh the bad.
What was the point of that diatribe? Yeah, I get it, you secretly hope the US will fail, and sit around at home eating donuts and running out fantasy scenarios in your head. But if the US should "Loose" , then trust me: that one will reverberate. and you WON'T be better off. Any major player in the global economy, if they failed, would cause hardships. Say China, tomorrow, disappeared. Would the rest of the world continue on as normal? of course not.
There is roughly a 5% failure rate on rocket launches. Willing to bet 5% against spreading hazardous radioactive waste across vast swathes of the planet?

I think a lot of technophiles are going through this: pulling back from the bastardization of technology.

I love that Cam. The airport in Hiroshima, Japan is on the side of a mountain, so as you take off it's runway, runway, runway suddenly NOTHING.
The moment these devices are incapable of being turned off is the moment they begin to magically self destruct.
Snippy snip.
Good lord man, you're manservant should have already checked this out ahead of time! Call the Chamberlain and have that man flogged!

You pretty much made his point: Certain topics are only viable for "the racist and bigoted".

So that large criminals can freely intimidate the smaller members of society. got it.

if I point an unloaded gun at you, you will do what i say ( unless you realize it's unloaded). If I point bullets at you, you'll laugh at me.
a simple "Move on" would have sufficed. ...
