You know, it's funny. 10 years ago I would be right there with you folks, panicking and hyperventilating ( well, drinking a beer and grousing anyway. We all cope in our ways, don't judge )..but if the years have taught me anything, it's to appreciate opportunity when it comes along.
Had I my own way, my and other's lives would be infinitely better with virtually no downside. However, the world doesn't work like that ( shocking, I know ). Once I stopped fighting it, I realized that despite it's broken nature, the world still manages to push forward to society's benefit ( though most refuse to acknowledge that ). Set backs are sometimes needed to make leaps forward, and sometimes "set backs" are only considered such because individuals lack the vision to find the opportunity.
So relax; breath. Trust in yourself and find the opportunities presented. You, and society, will be fine, I promise.
Was the data released incorrect? Was it relevant? Then I don't give two shits who released it, I'm just happy they did. Hell, I wouldn't have even cared if Clinton won as long as the people voting for her knew what kind of scum they were voting for.
Do you really believe a negative finding will shut anything down? How many times did the Republicans investigate benghazi? That's still following Clinton around. Democrats are no better.
Trump will forever be linked to Russia in their minds, regardless of the evidence.
Point of fact, I still don't know what's so terrible about what the Russians supposedly did. In another time, that'd have been called "journalism".
Look, I get it; Trump is horrible. He's a horrible person and an even worse president.
However.
Why SHOULD the US shoulder the responsibility, when we aren't even the worst polluter? In our rush to criticize Trump, we're giving the two worst polluters on the planet a free pass. If Trump pulling back on the accord prompts China and India to step up their game...isn't that a net benefit to the climate?
Unhinged criticism is precisely how Trump got elected, and is likely to be why he gets re-elected.
The cost of living in the bay area is demonstrably bananas ( that's the technical term ). By offering depressed wages, they're simply trying to do their part to make the bay area more affordable to the common man.:D
The problem, and I think you missed this, is that no one is even trying to solve the male homeless problem. Instead we see shelter after shelter set up for women and children, who represent the minority of homeless.
Homeless men have effectively been told they have no value to society UNLESS they are in service to a woman or a child.
This, and literally hundreds of other things, is what goes through most men's minds when we're being lectured about our privilege.
The attempt seems pitifully inept. To me, it seems designed to grab attention, which makes me suspicious that something else is going on. Distraction from some other part of the process, or for something completely unrelated?
Of course, it could just be a script kiddie or some other idiot. Hanlon's razor may apply here: "any sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice"
Oh..we don't do roundabouts in the states all that well. Not a day goes by, for instance, that some moron doesn't try to turn left in the local roundabout. Then, of course, there's the people in the circle that STOP for those waiting to get in. That's always fun.
Roundabouts are great in principle, but your population has to be at least this...--->--- smart to handle them.
We engineers don't usually have the final say in the matter; it's often down to whatever deal the PHB worked out ( oh, flying to the islands this weekend, Mr PHB? Wonder who paid for that ).
Reading this, I think I begin to understand how startups are able to convinced fools....erh, eh hem..."venture capitalists" to part with those millions.
In my experience, job hoppers are those who have the freedom of options. This would indicate that these folks are more enabled than those stuck behind.
What are you afraid of? That he'll install something which listens to every word you say? That it'll record every mouse click? That it will uninstall your applications? That it'll change your defaults in preference to it's own?
Uh...I kinda forgot if I was talking about zeffy or MS.
On one hand, I celebrate this activity. The more light you shed on government behavior, the better as far as I'm concern ( I think Snowden is a hero, for reference ). Trump and his administration need to be kept in check, to say nothing of the criminals in congress.
On the other...where the fuck was he during Obama's term? He's a hypocrite who only cares about this now that "His Guy" isn't in office, which means as soon as Trump's term ends, he'll go back to thinking the government can do no wrong.
Or perhaps...there's nothing that needs to be done? The pay gap is the result of life choices people make. I don't see the value in trying to make people choose differently.

If a foreign state have information that they need to share with the American electorate, they should do so publicly.
Which they did.
I'm gratified you see my point.
So..."shoot the messenger" then.

I want S to succeed so the Windows Store is more populated?
Sorry; no. I don't particularly care about that, OR Windows S. Given MS's behavior since 7, I'm more inclined to want to see it fail.
Remember when companies would at least pretend to care about the customer?
Now they're focused on giving good customer service to competitors over their customers.

It's fun, watching the scum self organize.
Hint: If you are ever on the same side of an issue as ATT, it's probably time to evaluate your life's choices to see where you went wrong.
Will it have hookers and blackjack?
It's a hunch with scaffolding. :D

Seriously, how do these chuckleheads get funding for studying the obvious?
In other news, researchers are asking for funding to study whether water is wet or if the sun is hot.
Ok, I'm curious; how does the 14th make it so Clinton won?
A commercial company making a device which can read my mind? I'm sure it won't be abused in any way, where do I sign up!?
What do you think drives humanity forward?
Altruism is a fine thing, but can you eat it? Will it keep the rain off if you?
Virtually every advancement in human history, including fire and the club, is a direct result of greed.

Hopefully this means that the virtual console is coming to the switch sooner rather than later.
