In the US, it is illegal to pay an H1B worker less than the market rate, so the union backing isn't necessary. I'd say Sweden needs to update their labor laws.
As for the yammering about how these awful monopolies... stop. There is no monopoly for ISP service. None.
What are you smoking? In most areas there is exactly one choice for internet service. Usually the local cable company. A business with a history of some of the shittiest customer service in existence. In other places the only choice is DSL from the local phone company. The world champions in shitty customer service.
1. You accept common carrier status, net neutrality, and you are not held liable for content you carry. 2. You are not a common carrier, you can do what you want with traffic, but you take full responsibility for all illegal net traffic.
How can such a tradition be condemned when the Prophet himself practised it?
Like this: Fuck your pedophile prophet Muhammed. He should have been tortured to death over many days for the crimes he committed. He was an evil fuck who brought misery to all that he touched.
"Mutah" is not permitted in Islam, not sure where you got that from. In fact it was banned by Prophet Muhammad, after the lewdness that the pagans and idol/people worshippers used to spread. It's only the Shia (minority) sect which allow this.
Too bad fucking little girls wasn't banned. When your prophet is a pedophile, you are corrupt from the start.
My previous boss chastised me for missing an early Monday morning meeting. It turned out he had scheduled it the night before, Sunday at 10pm -ish. The meeting was scheduled to start an hour before I normally got to the office. He pointed out that my company provided phone kept me connected to my email inbox and my meeting schedule. He was shocked when I said I turned off alerts for email and that I didn't regularly check it. I told him simply, "you don't pay me enough to be at work 24/7".
I'm actually on call 24/7. I have the volume turned up to max so I know if I get text messages or phone calls, signifying something important. The audio alerts for email is turned off because otherwise I could never f*cking get to sleep because the email is relentless.
I told the replacement boss that I will not be changing this policy under any circumstance. He knows I am absolutely serious. If they ever make an issue of it my response will be to hand over the phone and announce I am no longer on-call.
Using Carter to bolster your argument doesn't actually strengthen your position.
As for Chavez, he may have been elected properly the first time around, but his re-election was most certainly fixed. Also, it wasn't his successor who was the problem. It was Chavez, who systematically destroyed his country's free press, middle class, and economy.
The problem with biometrics are they are fixed. So once they are stolen, you are screwed. Duplicating a fingerprint is easy. Iris scans are probably simple enough to defeat given the right equipment. Even some future DNA scan could be defeated, in theory. Keep in mind, no matter what form of security is used, it has to be digitized in some way. That is a crack in security.
Stop lying. It was a political movement from the very start and never about voting for deserving books, unless you think Monster Hunter Legion is worthy of one of literature's highest awards.
Was Monster Hunter Legion better than Red Shirts? Because Red Shirts seems to be the very low standard for best novel. I'd say, yes, MH was better. However, I don't believe either of them is good enough for the Hugo.
Also, don't accuse me of lying when the facts show that you are a fucking moron.
I see you are one of the people who believed the lie that I had pointed out in my previous post. You are an example of why the Hugo is no longer a prestigious award. It's now only about "the right message" and not about good books.
Is the book better than Scalzi's Red Shirts? He got the 2013 Hugo for a fun popcorn read, but was no way deserving of a Hugo, but that seems to be the standard if the author is of the right politics and/or demographics.
Also, if you you believe the books are now tainted, then you are an idiot. The entire point of the Sad Puppies was not to fix the Hugos. They simply said, "read these books you might otherwise ignore and if you think they deserve it, vote for them." The SJW fools lied about that and spread the false rumor that the intent was to overload the Hugos only right wing stores and authors. Some of the SJWs went so far as to say that only books by women of color should be considered.
So a woman who is concerned about sharing a bathroom with someone with a penis has a brain taken over by fear? How about, for example, middle school girls? That's an age where they are very mixed up about a lot of things and can be quit frail. Are they supposed to share the locker room shower with a penis because otherwise they are closed minded bigots?
I do not support the NC law, but those arguing against it are ignoring the rights of too many people in their zeal. To put it simply, your rights end where they stomp on my rights. The transgender bathroom situation is definitely entering into some tricky territory.
we give them the benefit of the doubt that they were not simply trying to harass.
There's your mistake. You are giving the police the benefit of the doubt. Never do that. Cops lie. Cops are trained to lie. Cops are encouraged to lie. When judges catch them lying, they sometimes scold them, but it's rare that anything serious happens. The next time, the cops will just go to a different judge. One who is more flexible in his thinking when it comes to rights.

I didn't realize I wasn't allowed to quit my job and take a job elsewhere. When did this happen?
So what? Indian universities are, for the most part, diploma mills with no academic standards.

Tell them, you have two choices:
1. You accept common carrier status, net neutrality, and you are not held liable for content you carry.
2. You are not a common carrier, you can do what you want with traffic, but you take full responsibility for all illegal net traffic.
Choose wisely.
Put black electrical tape over the sensor.
I'm not stupid enough to fly to the middle east for any reason.

She's rich as fuck (woth $200 million) because people are buying her music and she's complaining that she might have been shorted a buck?
No wonder she can't keep a boyfriend. She's a spoiled bitch.
Except they keep changing the license agreement, so from day to day you don't know what you've agreed to.
Are men supposed to simply sit down and keep their opinions to themselves?
That is exactly what the radical feminists are demanding.

Vox is the rabid group. He does not represent the Sad Puppies. Also, Vox is an asshole. Every group has one.
I don't know what you read, but you certainly did not read Heinlein's Starship Troopers.

The movie had very little to do with the book, and out of respect, should never be mentioned in the same breath as Heinlein.
Given the complete collapse of the Greek economy, they are the last ones on the planet who should be offering economic advice.
No he wouldn't. NC law allows the birth certificate to be updated post-op to reflect the new gender.
