I'm really terrified that I'm 100 comments into this thread and you're the first person to seem to recognize that having 43 of 323 million (nearly 14 percent!) of the population of the country on food stamps is a major problem.
If you really want to be depressed, scroll up and look at how many socialist Bernie-bro's DID get modded up by people with mod points already in this thread.
You want to kick people when they are down, which is shit behavior.
So, Mr. High-and-mighty, how much of your own money and time do you voluntarily donate to the "needy"? Or is that just for other people to do, and you to do the bare minimum that the government forces you through wealth redistribution schemes?
Plus which, I didn't consent to let these fuckers store my information in the first place. I can't opt out. It's one thing when, say, Amazon loses the credit card number that I chose to store in their system to simplify my transactions. It's something else when an organization that's actually hostile to me is storing my personal information against my wishes ALSO gives it away.
Yep, what I see are the most gutless of the gutless politicians moaning about how much they'd "really like to save this program and really don't support the president in this" while actually not doing any of the things that are within their power to actually save it so they can try to appeal to both sides simultaneously. In other words, politics as usual. At least Trump has been honest.
Here in Dallas, a lot of restaurants (especially the trendy ones) are having more and more trouble finding people willing to work as cooks, waiters, busboys, etc. Why? Because the trendy restaurants located themselves on the trendy toll roads... a lot of these positions pay minimum wage yet cost $5 just to drive to.
just go to their website and they will likely have a "jobs" link. Just apply directly.
What you're saying makes sense, but my experience has been the opposite. I found myself back on the market about 3 years ago and tried the "apply directly" route for about 6 months. Never got so much as a callback. They didn't even have the courtesy to reject me. I started working with recruiters, and had a couple interviews lined up within a week. For better or for worse, these recruiters have a stranglehold on tech hiring.
I found myself back on the job market about 3 years or so ago. With a master's degree in CS and over 20 years of (good, relevant) experience, I figured I wouldn't have much trouble landing something else. First - I was wrong, I did have trouble landing something else and second, even when I did, it was a "contract to hire, we'll fire you in a heartbeat if you don't blow us away with your performance" position. How the hell did we end up like this? This was supposed to be a professional job - most of these positions require a four-year degree... I don't even think non-degreed jobs get treated like we do.
the only way to get employed for a new skill set is to have done it on the job
Or lie creatively about having done it on the job (after having spent enough time learning it independently that you do actually know it). Not that I would ever do such a thing.
Yeah, Snopes has shown itself to be incredibly biased, and openly supported Hillary Clinton. AP might have a little bit more journalistic integrity (that was a thing in the 20th century), but it's pretty clear that the goal of this is to return to the leftist media status quo that dominated for so long.
This will definitely increase the value and in-depth content of the postings. There's nothing internet readers flock to more than a calm, rational, carefully balanced view of all perspectives of a critical issue.
every single house in the entire country has to be served by a school bus
No, definitely not - or, at least, if it is, there's an exception if you live too close to the school, and "too close" seems to be pretty arbitrary. We (and about 80% of the families that go to my kids school) live less than a mile from the school, so the buses won't come pick our kids up. The walk from our house is about 30 minutes, though - a bit much to ask of a kid on a good day, much less a freezing or rainy one.
you loyally accepted that she was pure and honest and it was yours
Well, not OP, but... I have two kids myself, and have never had paternity tests done. I'm fairly certain I don't need to, though, because if she did cheat on me, she cheated with a guy that looks and acts exactly like me, and made two kids that look and act exactly like me. If anything, she ought to be the one asking for a blood test to make sure those kids are really hers...
Well I guess "have to" is a strong phrase, but no, we live too close for buses but too far to realistically walk, especially since both kids are in band and have instruments to carry back and forth as well. Don't cry for me, though, I'm making it work - I'm just trying to imagine the plight of somebody with kids in SF.
Imagine if you had young children you were trying to get to school. I live in north Texas, where it's not nearly as bad (although it's creeping that way), and I have to drop my kids off at school no earlier than 8 AM - which means I hit the freeways at the worst possible time, which means I'm lucky if I'm in by 9 AM.
In a way, as an opponent of censorship, I sort of like this - this will almost definitely drive more and better adoption of censorship-resistant media like Tor, I2P and Freenet.
Oh, it's even better than that. See, you and I have been told that "The Daily Stormer" has been censored and must be removed from our view because it was hateful. Although in this case I have no reason to believe otherwise, there's no way for you or I to verify whether or not it really was - or, if it was, just _how_ hateful and whether it really deserved its fate. This time it probably was, and did. But since we can't tell for sure, next time it may not, and we'll have no way to tell - it's been removed to protect us, see, and we have no business looking at it.

Anyone else see the problem with this?
Scrolling through this thread, apparently you're not the only one, but one of the depressingly few.

Basically you had to have NOTHING
Or be willing to lie about what you have. Of course, since criminals never lie, we know such a thing would never happen.
Actually what I mean is JESUS MOTHERFUCKING CHRIST YOU SOCIALISTS ARE SO GODDAMNED STUPID WILL YOU ALL JUST DIE ALREADY?
I wish I had mod points for you

I don't live in the US
The fact that I'm less likely to have to interact with you in real life is the best news I've gotten all month.

Yeah, noticed the same thing - about 20% of the article was about how horrible men are.
90K experienced isn't that impressive considering all STEM
It is compared to almost every other career - even medicine.
Quick, everybody post how they really feel about Indians!

Hm - pretty sure my wife skipped over that part.
