You goddamned Boomers and Gen-Xers didn't "work;" the Boomers got paid fat union wages for doing jack shit and then the Gen-Xers got paid corporate-raider bonuses for dismantling the unions and outsourcing the jobs! The older generations have executed scorched-earth economic policy, then hypocritically blame the Millennials when they complain that there's nothing left.
What? You mean that degree in gender studies and female studies is worthless? How can you say that? That only means more companies sorely need a Chief Diversity Officer and a Diversity Department!!!1111
Just think: all those people with worthless degrees probably would have gone straight to work after high school or learned a trade, if it weren't for dumbass Boomer and Gen-X parents and guidance counselors blatantly lying to them about how "necessary" a college degree (any college degree) was!
The entitlement generation getting LESS than anyone else!
Cause and effect: they only sound entitled to assholes like you because they're actually getting screwed and complaining about it! Jeez, it's like Oliver fucking Twist around here!
If I went to buy a cheap x86 laptop, it'd still cost me 50-150% more than this one
I got an x86 Chromebook (with 4GB RAM, no less!) for $120 on Prime Day ($180 - $40 sale price - $30 discount for using my Amazon Visa + ~$10 tax). If I could have gotten an ARM Chromebook instead for $60 or less I wish I'd known it!
That said, I do expect that my Chromebook (ASUS C200MA-DS02, Intel Celeron N830, 4GB RAM) can do everything my wife's Windows laptop (ASUS X200CA-DH21T, Intel Pentium 2117U, 4GB RAM) can do (except run Windows apps natively, obviously).
You're making the hugely wild assumption that Trump cannot win.
No I'm not. The person I was replying to wrote that the status quo would be shaken "no mater[sic] who the next POTUS is." I disagreed with that assessment only regarding Clinton, implicitly agreeing that a Trump win would indeed result in a shake up.
No it isn't. An "imperative" comes from a third Latin root word, impero, meaning to command or give an order. (That's also where we get the word "emperor," via "imperator" meaning "one who gives orders".)
+1. Like it or not (and make no mistake, I don't like it!), Bernie will not be a candidate in the general election. If you want to refuse to support Hillary or Trump, it's most effective to pick one of the third-party candidates that's actually on the ballot.
That would be "geriatrification." "Gentrification" would be a complaint about projects becoming more high-class (or conversely, less accessible to the lower class). In the context of computer programming, I have no idea WTF the GP was on about either.
This isn't just a "racist killers" problem, though (I used those words only to reflect the AC's terminology). Merely managing to have a department that isn't so egregiously out of control that the officers are murdering people is not good enough! I have zero doubt whatsoever that I could find all sorts of other police corruption in Dallas or any other jurisdiction, from petty stuff like failing to write up a DUI for the drunk officer that got pulled over all the way up to racial profiling and civil forfeiture.
This is going to get me flamed, but I'm past the point of giving a crap. Let's change out a few words here and see how it works
All blacks are the problem though, because even if they aren't gang bangers and killers themselves they're aiding and abetting the ones who are.
No, that's a false analogy because the vast, vast majority of black people are neither gang bangers nor aiding and abetting them. In contrast, police officers with enough integrity to refuse to aid and abet their corrupt coworkers are so far and few in between that they're newsworthy.
Even if the majority of them are justified, that leaves a percentage that aren't. Where is the accountability for those?
See, you agree with me! The only difference is that what you characterize as "lack of accountability" I characterize as criminal conspiracy and collusion.
If labeling all cops as racist black killers helps your sick world view....you are part of the problem.
All cops are the problem though, because even if they aren't racist killers themselves they're aiding and abetting the ones who are. The few whistleblower cops who are actually innocent get blackballed and quickly cease to be cops.
If the police don't want to be attacked like this, they should stop acting like a criminal gang of thugs and terrorists themselves.
The only posts here that look "paid to disrupt the site" are yours and the rest of the AC shitpost flooding (e.g. 52472663, 52472701 as well as the single-sentence strings of "republicans hate us", "they want us to die. to die" etc. that's been posted in the last few months in other threads.)
Give it up, fuckwads, we can see through your false flag.
The United States hasn't fought a peer or even near-peer country since 1945.
That's because there are no peer or near-peer countries! Our military dwarfs literally every other military on the planet in almost every conceivable way (IIRC China has more personnel, but they aren't nearly as well equipped). The only reason our military spending seems reasonable when expressed as a percentage of GDP is that our GDP is gigantic too! We could cut the DoD to just over 1/6th of its current budget and still outspend every other country.
In any case, the true American power isn't hard military power, but rather it's soft economic and cultural power.
No, it's economic and cultural power and hard military power. We may not use the full strength of our military all the time (or ever, since 1945), but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist or that we aren't spending hundreds of billions of dollars to maintain it.
Note well that I am not making value judgement about whether or not we "should" be maintaining such a gigantic military. I'm just saying that failing to acknowledge the FACT that we are doing so is despicable willful ignorance on your part.
(Actually, I'm glad that we dominate -- I just think it's a bit overkill to do so by so wide a margin.)
My point is that projecting enough force "keep the global commons" by ourselves, i.e., unilaterally, proves the AC's point that the US "absolutely dominates the world in... military operations" and completely contradicts yours that the operations are "bilateral."
My second point is that you are either being deliberately obtuse about it, or a complete moron.
I don't know from where you hail sir, but what you see as domination I see as the United States engaging in bilateral relations.
Here's one small example of the US's dominance (as opposed to "bilateral relations"): the US Navy has 19 aircraft carriers (with ten of them being supercarriers ), while every other country in the world has between zero and four, with the vast majority being glorified destroyers with helipads. The rest of NATO combined has fewer carriers than the US has supercarriers.
He asks the convention to vote that it is unwilling to select a person who has been shown to be 'careless about protecting government secrets' etc etc.
If the Hillary delegates gave the slightest shit about carelessness, protecting government secrets, or indeed the rule of law in general, they wouldn't be Hillary delegates to begin with!

To be fair, Google doesn't exactly emphasize the difference between Intel and ARM chromebooks. CPUs aren't even listed in the specs!

You don't see why it would be a bad thing for other mobile games that compete against Pokemon Go, but don't get free data?
You must be new here. To paraphrase Qui-Gon Jinn, "there's always a bigger asshole."
No I'm not. The person I was replying to wrote that the status quo would be shaken "no mater[sic] who the next POTUS is." I disagreed with that assessment only regarding Clinton, implicitly agreeing that a Trump win would indeed result in a shake up.
Go fuck yourself, you goddamn fascist coward!
What do you think would Clinton "shake up?" She is the epitome of the status-quo!

Oh, that's a smart plan: save money on PC components by spending it on building a time machine instead! (Not to mention buckets of quarters.)
Surely somebody has posted video of that 25,000 person march to Youtube?
