    You took the time to type three sentences and click submit. Yet, you added nothing to the conversation.

    Why should we listen to them? Because they have credibility. They have yet to be proven false, unlike the media and the DNC, who they've colluded with.

    Not only that, but neither one of these hacks have been confirmed to have originated from Russia. Last I read, the NSA hackers were American, and Julian Assange implied that the DNC hack was just a simple inside job. Seems like a forced (and potentially false) narrative is being pushed.

    Fuck this witch hunt. As has been demonstrated (and admitted to by the EPA), the environmental impact is next to nothing. If the EPA were truly concerned about public health, they'd go after the hick, shit-kicking motherfuckers rolling coal in their F350 Super Duty trucks.

    I've never had to show ID to work

    Does your lemonade stand have a decent dental plan?

    Or are you happy to disenfranchise them as well?

    Yeah, right. So there's rampant disenfranchisement, but little to no fraud. Idiots who keep parroting this bullshit are either naive simpletons, or they have reason to allow for the fraud to happen. No, I don't want anyone to be disenfranchised. I want all eligible voters to get ID, and I want all states to require ID. This is a very simple thing, and anyone who doesn't want this does not care about the integrity of the vote.

    Not to mention the cost of taking the time off to go to the office that issues the cards - time off without pay.

    You must have had some form of ID already if you've got a job that you'll be taking time off from without pay.

    Under CA law, a state ID card cost $29. If you're on public assistance, it costs $8. Seniors can get a state ID card for free.

    Under CA law, you need ID to actually register to vote. Kind of hard to argue against presenting ID at the voting center if you're legally registered, eh?

    Have you actually read that email? ... Even if everything in the Politico article is true it would not surprise me if it is all legal.

    Yes I read it. From TFE:

    "They take Alice Walton's money and transfer it to state parties, who then immediately transfer it to the DNC. Often times they do it without the state party even knowing because the Clinton campaign controls many of the bank accounts involved. So at the end of the day, most of the state parties have received exactly $0 from their Victory Fund arrangement."

    Yeah, sounds pretty legit to me *rolls eyes*. This is the very definition of money laundering and, if everything was on the up'n'up, they wouldn't have to shift the donations back and forth like this. Right? This also clearly illustrates what both Bernie and Trump have been saying all along: it's a rigged system. The DNC's coffers have Hillary's name on them.

    Is there some kind of superpower that you think HR people have where they can look at someone and see exactly what dollar value they will add to your company?

    No superpower. Just the interview process, which is the best tool available to evaluate a potential employee -- even better then *gasp* skin color.

    Diversity can lead to a more productive work place or a great idea that you might not have had access to otherwise.

    I see this concept parroted repeatedly in discussions like these with nary a real-life metric to back it up. How, pray tell, does having people with different colored skin lead to a "more productive work place"?

  18. Re:"Little Progress" on Facebook Makes Little Progress in Race and Gender Diversity (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Ah, and you've hit the nail on the head. Racism and sexism don't always serve to exclude or deter certain individuals. Sometimes, as in this case, they serve to artificially manipulate the race and gender makeup of a group to facilitate nothing more than a perceived (and unfounded) belief that diversity is more important than work ethic and skill set.

  19. "Little Progress" on Facebook Makes Little Progress in Race and Gender Diversity (theguardian.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    They've made "little progress"? The word "progress" denotes an increase in a desirable attribute.

    Why would any employer want to do anything other than hire the best, most qualified employee for a given job? If that happens to be a black woman, great. If that happens to be a gay Indian man, hire him. But, if Facebook's job requirements are predominantly filled by white males, what is the problem?

    I can't run over someone with my overclocked desktop. I can't go at such an unsafe speed that I lose control and crash into others with my modified router. Your analogy is wrong. We treat vehicles very differently because of what they can do. "We" the Slashdot crowd that understand that are not opposed to modifying things that can't go at speeds that can kill someone if operated wrongly.

    Have you even been following the story? You do know that this has little to do with the cars being able to run at *cough* dangerous speeds, right? Just checking.

    The evidence is presented in their video. It's there. It's real, and clearly irrefutable -- anyone can test it. And, it's pretty damning. The fact that VOX is now trying to do damage control makes it obvious that they, too, are complicit. Fuck you VOX!
