So basically, it's literally always the Democrats fault whatever happens even if the republicans do it.
My favourite was always the right wingers criticising Obama for not closing down the evil, internationally embarrassing (etc) concentration camp at Guantanamo Bay, when it was George W Bush who created it and Republicans who blocked any attempt to do anything about it.
You really believe that literally half of the US population is sexist facist, racist etc etc etc?
I think the election result suggests exactly that.
Or has everyone who voted Trump suddenly woken up and realised (like the Brexiters) that they need to blame their choice on it being some sort of banter, a humorous kick at the Establishment?
All your fuckers that yelled at literally half of the country "mysoginistic racist xenophobes", remember that you nagged and pissed off people enough to get this man in power and eliminated this important research.
Oh, that is priceless.
"It's not my fault I voted for an anti-scientific moron, it's yours, you forced me to by criticising my Victorian values".
lets get ourselves onto Mars and work on cleaning up Earth
Yes, fortunately it said on this morning's news that we've solved the problems of Mars having no breathable atmosphere, magnetic field or (available) water and only 1/3 the gravity.
Tories prudish? Please. If there's a political sex scandal going on, you can bet that it's a Tory member. And that's just the ones we get to know about.
You're missing the point about elitists. They get to do what they want, it's the plebs that have to be controlled.
Try googling for any information on how to 'combat the rise of gender-fluidity'
It's just possible that not many people have posted stuff on the internet about this because they don't see the need to start a war over an issue that directly affects very few people.
It might be that in your particular case, you're better of with a gun. Even only if it makes you sleep better.
That's irrelevant.
If you're a rapist you no doubt think it's better for you if you can rape. Society at large disagrees, so there is a law against rape.
If you let everyone do whatever they want to do in their own self interest then you have anarchy. And, yes, this does mean that civilisation puts limit on freedom.
One of the few things the liberals get correct is that one should not leave them laying around loaded. They should be stored safely under lock and key. Once locked up the children are safe.
That then demolishes the argument that they are required for self protection against burglars.
Most crack-addled home-invading immigrant terrorist rapists aren't going to hang around while you unlock your gun cabinet.
The summary in fact offers an example where conservative websites are emphasized and it happens to be on a topic where the conservatives usually have the facts on their side. Gun control. Like it or not the facts from an engineering and historical point of view favor the conservatives. The liberal side of the argument seems mostly emotion and embracing placebo "solutions".
The thing is, even most conservatives (outside of the US) think gun control is a good idea. It really isn't a left/right or liberal/conservative issue in most of the world.
I have observed that liberals tend to be idealists, conservatives realists. The song Imagine by John Lennon is a beautiful expression of liberal thinking.
Liberals speak of what they desire *could* be, and very often of how things *should* be. Conservatives focus much more on the cold, hard facts of how things *are*. So much so that it often makes discussions difficult:
Conservative: That doesn't work, X% of y are Z.
Liberal: No! X shouldn't be Z!
Conservative: "Should" doesn't matter, X -are- Z.
Liberal: You racist fuck, you think X should be Z!? That makes you a bigot!
A conservative is someone who thinks things were better fifty years ago, a liberal someone who thinks things will be better in fifty years time. Current reality is just current reality.
You seriously think there are terrorists out there all set with their bomb thinking "Hm, now where in the world can I find people? Darn, there's no way to figure out where a crowd might currently exist so I'll have to cancel the attack."
On slashdot you are allowed simultaneously to be paranoid about governments stopping terrorism and governments not stopping terrorism.
Depending on the day of the week, terrorists are either an excuse for governments to have surveillance, or an existential threat to civilisation.
You didn't answer the question whether you seriously think that Germany or Sweden today are essentially the same as Franco's Spain, Mussolini's Italy or Hitler's Germany.
Real life politics is not as simple as "if a country is not purely capitalist it's fascist, because fascism and communism are the same thing".
Is anyone surprised that if stuff was cheaper, people are less likely to take it for nothing?
I thought it was supposed to be about honouring the principle of Free-as-in-freedom Culture being shared for the worldwide betterment of humanity on their journey to the stars?
Or are you suggesting that most people who pirate are just cheapskates?
Right. On slashdot we have to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night, half an hour before we go to bed, eat a lump of cold poison, work twenty-nine hours a day down t'office, and pay t'office owner for permission to come to work, and when we get home to our basement, our Mom kills us, and dances about on our graves singing "Hallelujah."
Standard of care is NOT a standard of perfection, by rather "that degree of care and skill ordinarily exercised under similar conditions by reputable members of our profession practicing in the same or similar locality."
This is basically true for all professions, like lawyers or doctors. No person or system is perfect, but an operation by a highly trained and qualified surgeon is many orders of magnitude more likely to succeed than following Baz's DIY appendectomy guide on YouTube.

And I thought we should all use "correct horse battery staple" for everything and that would be secure!
Don't forget to put your year of birth on the end to make it unique to you...
Why be such a potty mouth?
Are you, like, literally five years old?
If you can't make your point without the language you used then just don't post.
Holy Mary Mother of Fucking God, someone swore on the internet!
Stellar explorers change your Galaxy.
Yes, undoubtedly we'll be visiting nearby stars by the end of Trump's presidency.
If he (a) invents a cure for mortality and (b) declares himself President for life.

she'd of won
"she'd've won" is the correct contraction of "she would have won".
Just because it sounds about right doesn't mean that's how you write it.
it works for Fender, they have USA vs Mexican Strats
I'm sure Mr Trump isn't happy about the latter.
Tories prudish? Please. If there's a political sex scandal going on, you can bet that it's a Tory member. And that's just the ones we get to know about.

Liberals have done nothing to help reduce poverty.
I'd rather be poor now than a hundred years ago, and no it's not just because capitalism has magically made everyone rich.

Did anyone expect any different?
I think the cockwombles who voted for him did.

Impossible task during an 8 hour day
Right. On slashdot we have to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night, half an hour before we go to bed, eat a lump of cold poison, work twenty-nine hours a day down t'office, and pay t'office owner for permission to come to work, and when we get home to our basement, our Mom kills us, and dances about on our graves singing "Hallelujah."

At Dyn we know our greatest asset is our employees
That's about as meaningful as a statement that "we value our customers and don't break any laws that we're aware of". What else are you going to say?
'Audit' is 2 syllables. Thanks for playing.
The colloquial phrase "in words of one syllable" means "as simply as possible". It does not literally mean you can only use one syllable words.
Thanks for playing.
