  1. Re:Let's consider then on Canadian Startup Uses Trump to Lure Tech Workers (siliconbeat.com) · · Score: 1, Troll

    Trump says a lot of shit he can't do, doesn't have any experience doing, and can't back up with any even remotely concrete details. Trump says he will make you richer! Trump says he will fix all the roads! Trump says he will ban shitty music from the radio! It's pure unfettered populism.

    I guess that makes you doubly stupid for being unable to draw from what is supposedly a free source of easy money?

    When you read musician-skewed news aggregation websites, do you need them to explain what Cubase is? No, because it's content targeted towards technical people who, if they don't know what something that is fairly common knowledge is, probably know how to go about finding out.

    You're not lazy. You're obstinate.

    Why anybody paints the NRA as anything different than what it is, an industry lobby group who's sole vested interest is the growth and increase of gun sales for the companies that fund it, is beyond me.

    The GP was asking if "his" solution seemed too obvious. Indeed, it is so obvious, it's noted in the summary itself.

    Yes, you're missing reading the summary.

    >I think it already IS pretty much a protected class as you put it.

    It isn't.

    >If you merely suggest that people, need to lose weight, for their health and yes, even for a better appearance, you catch hell for "fat shaming" or whatever the SJW term for it is today.

    If it's your own family or friend, go for it. If it's a stranger, you're being rude.

    >Don't get me wrong, no one should be taunted or teased, but these days, you can't even give advice that used to be noted as common sense anymore without offending someone or hurting little Suzy's self esteem.

    Unsolicited advice of almost any kind has always been a socially inept move.

    > We are actually going out of our way to tell fat kids that they "look ok" and should be proud of looking obese, out of shape and generally unhealthy.

    Who is we? Food companies? Fat parents to fat children? Health agencies and gyms? Everyone except for you? Using the word "we" is just you couching your whining in non-specifics.

    > Common sense has gone out the window, with everyone dancing on eggshells to try not to offend anyone.
    WFT did we get so afraid to offend anyone?

    That could be a line straight out of a post from 1950, because people have been thinking the society is collapsing in a puddle of weakness around them since the dawn of time.

    >It's good that Trump is threatening to use libel laws against them.

    Because it makes you feel warm and fuzzy? That's practically his campaign in a nutshell. "I'll sue!" The fact that he never does isn't really important, because people who like him for his propensity to blow hard about legal action have the collective attention span of a gnat.
