You're correct. I have a friend who refused to even LOOK at a weapon of mine when I was trying to explain semi versus full automatic. She literally hid her eyes in the manner of a five year old viewing a snake. How can we have a reasonable discussion about this when that's the case?
I'm always annoyed by people who threaten this. If your impetus for leaving the country is one presidential election ( regardless of which "side" you support ) and you can't handle the opposing side winning-- then please, go somewhere else. You're an amateur throwing temper tantrums and we're better off without you.
If, for example, you live in California: you KNOW before the vote that Clinton will win the state. California is so dark blue it borders on black. I was so confident of this that I placed a bet with a friend, I'd pay her $10,000 if Trump won California, She's pay me $10 if he lost. For me, that was a sucker bet. I'm up $10. Knowing with this level of certainty allowed me to vote however I felt, without worrying about "throwing away my vote".
But.... if that happened today: Impressionable intern coerced into sexual relations by the head of a major organization, he's be immediately drawn/quartered/fired. I've always been extremely uncomfortable how historically Bill has been viewed as a guy who "was getting some on the side", while Lewinsky became synonymous with ditzy golddigger who was the primary motivation.
Oh my god this. I've got friends on the left, and friends on the right. I personally lean right. I like the exchange of ideas. Sometimes I learn something new. occasionally, I'll change my opinion. When I mention this to my leftist friends, invariably the response is "Great! We've got a lot you can learn." The assumption being they're the bastions of true knowledge.
Lots of politicians "misunderstand", then they turn around and ask you to believe they're razor sharp intellects. They don't misunderstand, they're intentionally obscure so they can deny saying what they said. Or they're morons. I tend to believe the former.
So wait... You're surprised that someone running for office was immoral enough to smear their opponent one time, then later praise them when it suits their purpose? Good lord, have you NOT watched any of these people recently? They'd sell their soul for a donut.
What do you read? I'm fairly right slanting, and the only one I've seen even nearly similar is one about Newsweek already printing the election result before the results are in.
There's a significant difference between being scammed with an IRS scam and believing "Hillary Clinton is secretly Adolf Hitler's brain in a new body".
Geography is one component of the choices a country makes in foreign policy. If the US was geographically different, it would have behaved differently.
I'm not convinced of that. Trumps an idiot, but he's a known idiot. Congress will be openly hostile to him, he'll get nothing done. I'd prefer gridlock to outright corruption. That being said, has anyone considered Mcmullin? https://www.evanmcmullin.com/p... I'm sure some don't like his God-centric ideas here, He's Mormon after all, but he's another third party option if you're looking for one and Johnson seems too spacey.
The answer would be NO on all accounts, primarily because the purpose of most people in favor of gun control that I'm friends with is to remove all guns from society. Guns are the big scary spider, and they want them gone. To them, "common sense" laws are just stepping stones to eventual removal of all firearms. Of course, this is until the big earthquake hits in California, to which a few of them have mentioned "We'll come to you, you have guns". If such a situation occurs, I'm certainly not handing out firearms to people who have no clue as to gun safety other than having none. Though I'm sure that will be chalked up to hard heartedness, rather than an actual desire to see them not murder themselves.
And yet, Just yesterday I fixed a mac that "forgot where the printer is", Last week one fell off the domain and lost it's IP address. I've got a pallet of repair returns that refused to boot, just white screened then funny symbol.All went out for repair and except for ten or so had no software problems, just needed to be re-imaged. They're not magical fairy devices, they're computers. Which screw up. PC or Mac.
Plus, did you really just ask what a Domain Controller is?
they can easily get around it. Over the phone. "Oh, THAT guy.... Yeah, he "worked" here between the dates you mentioned. No comment ever on if I'd ever hire him back. "
Good lord, the Racism everywhere crowd should time travel to the 1950s and talk to the Communism is everywhere crowd. I bet you'd get along fine. Pretty soon some senator might just start a House UnDiversity Activities Committee to prosecute such things.
You simply train them poorly. Follow the letter of the law, but not the spirit. Shortcut for a process that'snot covered in official documentation but secure and widely used? They don't need to know. Have them do everything twice, as some manual somewhere requires. Teach them the most ponderous and difficult tool for gaining network information, and demand they employ it. Make them into slow, barely worthwhile employees.

You're not in tech, You're in HR at a tech company.
So really what you're saying is, the discussion is only meaningful if they think like you. Got it.
My well regulated clock on the wall disagrees with you, unless it's formed a milita with other timepieces.

Wait, your answer is "just leave everything open and unlocked"???

oddly enough, I support mixed mac/win environments, and find the issues to be roughly equal.
both systems have their WTF issues, that are different.
