    Ok then, I'll do you a special: Comparing minimum security white collar crime penitentiaries to things like murder, rape and domestic abuse does not make you look like a crank.

    she should be happy that her husband only beats her twice a week

    As I've mentioned upthread, comparing taxes to things like murder, rape, and in your case, domestic abuse, does not make you look like a crank. Not even one tiny little bit.

    I'll reply to you, since everyone else with the same reply is AC...I'm replying to the first half of OP's comment, not the second half.

    Not much new content to watch in summer anyway, so, let them strike.

    Coming in the next few months:
    • -Archer
    • -Better Call Saul
    • -Doctor Who
    • -Leftovers
    • -Fargo
    • -Silicon Valley
    • -The Handmaid's Tale
    • -American Gods
    • -Twin Peaks
    • -House Of Cards
    • -Orphan Black
    • -Preacher
    • -Marvel's The Defenders
    • -and the return of MST3K!

    Summers on TV are great now, not like when we were kids.

  6. Re:The nice kind of rape on Sorry America, Your Taxes Aren't High (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I'm loving all you whiners comparing paying for civilization to all kinds of gruesome murder and rape. No hyperbole here, no sir.

    I don't think anyone thinks that America's income taxes straight out are that high.

    You need to spend more time on conservative websites.

  8. To be fair, Trump has not staffed something like two thirds of the non-cabinet positions he's supposed to appoint (as well as making noises that he's probably not going to either.) One of his principal advisers, Bannon, is also on record about their desire to severely shrink gov and retain more control at the executive level (Kushner's massive portfolio is a good example of this.) So, unlike the more diffuse administrations of the past, control and command is very much vested in the White House, and therefore, Trump himself.

    Pff, boomers been doing it for decades. They went hard for Reagan both times and never looked back.

  12. Just because a company CAN sell something does not mean they will.

    And get it in the neck from stockholders because they're not maximizing all potential revenue streams? Nah, easier to make extra cash.

    Where was this "concern" when Hillary ran her unpatched and protected private email server that was "less secure than Gmail"?

    Interminable congressional investigations and literal yards of MSM reporting on even the fluffiest of details? What, were you asleep or something?

  17. Maybe, but that's still a a massive improvement over ten years ago where it was doing nothing but bleeding money.

  18. Yeah, it's 2017. Only two things currently make lots of money for Microsoft: Office and Xbox. I'm not even sure thay actually care anymore about the "OS Wars"

    I could tell you a story that would make you weep, but in the interest of brevity let's just say that sometimes you are Igor and you just do what Dr. Frankenstein says.

    Nah man, dish up. Slashdot could use a good old-fashioned horror story from the trenches. Used to be common around here back in the day.
