She used her political power (and I'll presume, dirt she had on other people in power) to quash and subvert investigations
She has zero power now, so where are those investigations?
Clear case of treason
Please elaborate. If Oliver North is not a traitor for giving Hezbolla a large number of classified anti-tank weapons less than a year after they had killed over a hundred US Marines then how is Clinton a traitor?
In an ideal world yes. In this one they have form messing about with European elections and the Copenhagen climate conference. Then there were the press releases you are not mentioning from the CIA telling us that they think (or if you prefer, want us to think) that Russians were taking deliberate actions in an attempt to influence the current election. That should be taken into consideration whether the press releases were informing of us of fact or even if it was outright lies.
So dishing it out but cannot take it? Why waste so much time attacking me when all I did was point out your sleazy little argument method. As for your shotgun approach insult of suggesting I do not understand plain English, it makes no sense at all unless you are in an environment where such a thing is commonplace and you have utter contempt for those around you. Pathetic. Just because you got to learn to read before Reagan is no reason to dump on those poor souls who did not.
Very good points but I'm not entirely sure they apply to this San Francisco situation. While some of that may apply it's probably more like what others suggested in that it's difficult to get some privacy. It's kind of funny that in comparison in terms of "sexual politics" the university I was an undergrad at bought a condom vending machine, and the Police smashed through a window and had to wade through a urinal to get it and rip it off the wall. None of that jumping at shadows. Real shit to get pissed off about instead.
so maybe you really don't understand plain English.
Good example of a shotgun approach - throwing an insult out into the unknown on the hope it hits! You've made me laugh - can't understand English? Better work on that banjo yawl! Is that good enough Merkin English for ya moonshine boy?
You are still pushing that line and defaming probably about the most conservative profession? OK then - are Microsoft leftist? Uber?
teach its non-Muslim kids about living as a Muslim, including waging Jihad
Yes and way back when I was a kid a cop visited the school and told us a lot about criminals. Mentioning a topic is not the same as endorsing it, and personally I think if you are going to teach kids modern history of the last few decades you'll want to tell them about those things. How else can they understand what's going on in Afganistan without mentioning the Taliban and their Jihadish stuff? How else are they going to get a clue about ISIL/Daash and other dangerous weirdos? So what was the context? Similar to what I've written, totally different or you do not have a clue and are just upset that the topic is being raised at all?
The only non-citizens who are protected by US law are those who are ALREADY in the US LEGALLY
Bzzt - wrong. You may not like it but you can't go inflicting cruel and unusual punishments and other violations of the constitution on illegal immigrants. It's very very simple. The US constitution applies in the US. Not hard to understand is it? If someone gets in the airspace that's enough for the rules to apply. No "constitution free zones" at airports or whatever. Deporting is fine with due process. Kicking out people with green cards just to make someone who has issued an edict look "tough", not so much.
Everyone gets help at some point that doesn't mean they aren't a self starter
Then what on earth do you mean? Typically it's used as a self-complimentary description by people who wish to downplay the role of others in their success.
Maybe read something like Jack London's "The Iron Heel" (free on Project Gutenberg) to see what a lot of people, including some very much on the "right" are worried about. You don't need a swastika to be dangerous.
The thing is, a modern word processor now has capabilities that used to require a desktop publishing app
Which IMHO has created a bastard child of both that attempts desktop publishing but can't quite get there. Page layouts that you spend ages getting right, and then the images migrate to the next page or similar fuckup just when you edit a single sentence.
The Onyx Boox M96 has 512MB of RAM and has a decent web browser. The answer there and everywhere else with limited memory is not to have something that keeps the contents of a hundred tabs in memory just in case. What is a really good idea with a lot of memory (the caching) is a bad idea without it.
On the Pi the bridge chip used (broadcom something) is stuck at that limit, perhaps it's something similar here. I'm not sure what else could do a better job at the low price end with available drivers.
I took coding instead of sports. In hindsight from decades later a bit of both may have been a better idea than one or the other. Learning another language was not a choice on the maths/science track, and neither was typing (women's work apparently).
Those with higher degrees tend to want to think those with degrees superior to those without them
Yes, some people are assholes - it sucks but that's life.
A degree is a shortcut to replace experience under a mentor. Most people can't get that experience and a decent mentor because it's an expensive way to do things and no company wants to spend that sort of money to train staff up from school level.
With respect, I've met a lot of students that called themselves "self starters" but I've never seen a real one in any workplace or in the University I worked at for a while. Everyone I've met that has managed to get somewhere has had some help from someone.
"I taught myself a lot of programming and ended up going down a lot of irrelevant dead ends before." So, you are a self-starter then
No, I was utter crap at the task until after a few years someone said - "try reading this" when I had no idea where to even look for such a text otherwise. I was the guy that would inspire all those "GOTO is harmful" rants. I have had a few "what idiot wrote this" moments looking at my old code.
When I'm talking about a self starter I'm talking about someone who had the drive and initiative to seek information and better themselves
Well that's a massive chunk of the population, but they normally can't get very far without a bit of help.
on if it is highly specialized
It wasn't meant to be a "highly specialized" case - it's sound recordings FFS! That was an example of data from a physical system and could have been one of thousands. When people have to write stuff to make sense of something as simple as sorting out acceleration, velocity and displacement information they are utterly fucked without at least the top end of high school mathematics. Newton may have been able to work that stuff out on his own but it's pretty damned hard for anyone else without being told where to start. I had one mature age student who had read a LOT as well as being excellent (he won awards) at his trade (metal casting). It still took four years to turn him into an engineer despite his head start and being brighter and more hard working than most of the other students. The chemistry and physics he'd never considered looking at were what he needed to be able to design moulds that he could not do before and work effectively with alloys he'd never seen before. He wasn't going to get there as a "self-starter", like just about everyone else outside of fiction he needed some help. Before you point out that a focused course could have got him there faster, it was a focused course but there is so much background you have to pick up to understand what is going on with advanced topics. Before the course he could follow instructions, after it he was the one writing them because he knew what was going on.
I answered this elsewhere, but do you really think those judges opposing this are all leftists? Really? Is the rule of law somehow a "left" thing now? Ironically that's the line the military government of Pakistan took not so long ago.
but I'm not sure that the Leftist protesters would have endorsed it in that case
Of course not, because it was a fucking stupid idea to impose something so draconian overnight for no reason that actually helps the nation. I was pointing out that it's not only stupid but inconsistent as well. It's not just the "leftists" - how many "leftist" federal judges that have been in office since before Obama would you expect to find? How "leftist" is the Pentagon?
they just want Muslims to be let in w/o limits
I think what they are arguing for is no more limits on Muslims, Mormons, Methodists whatever than on other people - First amendment dude - "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof". Now you could argue that the President is not Congress and can do whatever he likes related to religion but what do you think Jefferson, Washington and all the rest would say to that? I think they'd say that a President is supposed to pass the laws of Congress and not be outside of them acting like a King.
If Obama pulled this exact same shit I'm sure you would have (quite correctly) pointed out the economic, reputational and military damage this executive order has caused and taken a line opposing the travel ban. You may remember not so long ago some Republicans were complaining (correctly IMHO) about Obama going well beyond what should be the powers of President with some executive orders. This one from Trump is just getting more attention because it's so fucking stupid to create such an artificial emergency as well as it going well beyond what some Judges think is Presidential authority. He's not a King.
Caught red handed moving the goalposts again. This stupid Glen Beck inspired shit of pretending not to understand plain English just to "win" some stupid argument game really pisses me off - hence my post above.
Some placed have even enacted laws to prevent manspreading
Weird - a law against that? How fucking uptight are some people? I doubt very much that the average man or woman or the street would give a shit either way, I suspect it's just an idiot like the magazine writer you quoted getting more attention than they deserve from legislators who are looking for an issue that will get them positive press. Of course that's just an opinion.
I'd better add that I wasn't being critical of your perspective merely that I have seen that toxic environment you speak of being spread in Universities by HR folk and similar who haven't been kept busy enough. They do this stupid shit of demonising people because it's easier than finding the very small number of real criminals. Management accept it because it's seen as spending some effort on campus safety etc and looks good as PR. It's not so bad elsewhere IMHO.
Ah - that explains it. I've worked in Universities as well, thankfully for engineering departments where at least the bullshit is different to that (with lots of laughing from afar at other departments bullshit) but I can see where you are coming from. Good luck, but perhaps you should get out more and away from the influence of weird student politics. In general I do not think things are as bad as you suggest apart from isolated pockets.

Stop blaming your own fault of pretending to misunderstand the analogy on me.
In an airport they are very obviously not "abroad" so I cannot think of an honest reason why you would write the above unless it is by mistake.
OK then - are Microsoft leftist?
Uber?

It was there and was part of the utter disruptive stupidity of a badly thought out edict that may as well have come from a King.
Take a look at the constitution again to correct that misconception.
