Are you American? If so, then you can't complain about your culture being fucked up. That boat has sailed. It is no longer yours to complain about, as it was founded on attempted genocide and the subjugation of others. The rest of your rant is simple xenophobic emotional screeching from the rooftops. Impressive rhetoric but absolutely nothing to do with reality. "France is GONE" "Sweden is GONE" really??
The problem is your "but what of the false rape claims" is like arresting someone on the deck of the sinking Titanic for murder. Yes, it's a real problem, but absolutely dwarfed by another, related aspect. I think the problem is that you sounded precisely like an MRA, focussing on the noise instead of the very loud signal. You are right, but when there are still such hideous amount of rapes, one has to choose their language very carefully to differentiate their position from that of an MRA.
Did you complain so much about the other periods in time where systematic, ingrained discrimination caused measurable detrimental effects to swathes of society? Or only when it's you being called out for your lazy behaviour? Putting justice in quotes only highlights your desire to paint certain actual struggles as nonsense.
The Reddit communities you discuss being "destroyed" were engaging in blatant assault on people. Reddit, being a private company, can censor that if it doesn't want to be associated with such behaviour.
The Chromecast can be used for different things, though. It's not really supposed to be an application host, but a thing on which to play media, like an endpoint. The way I use it is if I'm using my phone to watch a video on YouTube or Netflix, and I walk into the living room, I press "cast", select my TV, and it continues playing on the TV. Same with music. I can also stop watching something on my TV and take it with me on my phone. Chromecast is essentially a way to get some media from your phone or computer onto a different screen, not a device you sit down and interact with. It is instructed by software, not people.
They're also ridiculously portable. As I was about to go on holiday, I unplugged my Chromecast from our TV (simple - just unplug from the HDMI and USB), and put it in my bag. When I got to the holiday apartment, I just plugged it into the HDMI port of the TV, and I could stream all my content directly to it, using the phone as a remote. It was a very seamless experience, and was incredibly useful. Lugging a Roku 3 with remote, cables and power brick around wouldn't have been anywhere as easy.
I guess you want a media centre, which Chromecast isn't, and has never pretended to be.
Well then I guess Chromecast isn't for you. As you are not representative of the entire rest of the world (shock! horror!), it's safe to say your opinion carries little weight when discussing the virtues of using a Chromecast in general.
The "military rule" you mention is for instances of a specific issue, not just problems in general. If it were for just for any problem, the whole world would constantly be at war as more than 2 problems will happen to an entire fucking army. You also ask whether there are only two "major" "problems", without even bothering to define what they were. You sound like a conspiracy nutcase.
Aaaah so you are arguing your perception, and not any actual argument based on real evidence. Gotcha. You know you are indistinguishable from a conspiracy theorist, right? You are operating in the exact same manner - make a guess about something, then argue it as fact, using your original guess and own opinion as evidence. Brilliant work.
Are you getting angry at women for identifying themselves as women on the internet?
The real problem is this feedback loop - jobs are advertised to men because there aren't as many women in these roles, which ensures there will be fewer women in these roles, rinse, repeat. It hinders any natural attempt to redress the balance, which everyone involved - men and women alike.
And this is why people think the tech sector is unfriendly to women. NotDrWho - you're not helping the rest of us look sane. The same token which lets you make pathetic generalisations of an entire gender based on cultural stereotypes works the other way too. Please grow up.
What do you mean "certain narrative"? The inputs were sanitised, with the only variable being the gender. Somewhere along the line, that played an important part in skewing the adverts shown. That is the sensible conclusion to make, as that's what the evidence strongly suggests. You are the one projecting a "certain narrative", as if a spotlight has been shone on your apathy towards discrimination, and you desperately want to hand-waive it away and return to the darkness of your short-sighted, selfish attitude.
Which would go a long way to explain why you are perfectly OK for this systematic clusterfuck to continue. Assuming that it's only obvious to "SJW"s speaks far more of your perception and understanding of the world than any shadowy, nebulous group of people you deem enemies to your perspective.
Well, to be honest, the original poster just suggested an explanation and went no further. Until they proffer their evidence, it's perfectly acceptable to call bullshit without offering your own study in rebuttal. "Put up or shut up" starts at the beginning, not at an argumentally-convenient point thereafter.
You missed a third option: You don't know all the facts and are engaging in a judgemental bout of ass-delving, overly-confident in the fact that your hastily-constructed opinion is once again an accurate reflection of reality. And it's "were", not "where".
The article leaves out a lot of details, so a rational person will say "I don't know", and not immediately launch into a mouth-frothy tirade of condemnation and venom based on scant details. You are so quick to judge these people, and clearly without sufficient evidence. You don't strike me as a particularly rational person.
You are so short-sighted it's amazing. The gang was large, international, well-funded, and well equipped. They had demonstrated their detailed knowledge of the guys' families, and who knows what else they knew. Any attempt to reach out to the police might have ended in violence to their families, something they (unlike you) seem to be reluctant to encourage.
One of the guys complained, and the voice on the other end of the phone started reading the addresses of his loved ones, including a secluded property where his wife was alone. With that hanging over your head and scant confidence in picking up the whole organisation in one fell swoop, going to the authorities seems rather fruitless. Believe what you want, Rambo.
No, you are arguing for a level of pedantry sufficient to make the precise point you want to make. Arrangements like this are "exclusively renewable" as the agreed amounts of renewable energy put in to the "pot" and taken out of it are the same. That's it. That's how it works, how it has worked in the past in non-renewable power production, and how it will continue to work in the future. If your pedantry clouds your rational mind, you might want to consider giving one up for the sake of the other... The choice of which is yours, naturally.

You seem to be missing the point. Someone can make a statement which is both a lie and the truth at the same time.

Science is a method, not something which can be announced. You might want to work on your understanding slightly.
You misspelled "millennials", shortly after calling them idiots... Interesting.

So close. Write the word phonetically, and use that spelling to determine. Yooessbee begins with a consonant, hence 'a' instead of 'an'.
The "military rule" you mention is for instances of a specific issue, not just problems in general.

"... this is my understanding" :)
So you don't understand. Gotcha. Thanks for clearing that up.

The experts seem to disagree with you, and they have the evidence on their side.
And no one is surprised by that. Someone points out you've been reading bollocks and believing it, and you don't like their tone.
