I really wish you'd be more specific. There are a lot of problems, systemic and otherwise Obama has some(or even a lot) of culpability in continuing and even starting, but to suggest it's identical to the kind of intentional hate-driven policies that drive our local brand of neo-nationalist theocrats is a bit misleading.
Whenever I see this argument, I can't help but wonder what you think your feigned cynical detachment gets you. No one actually respects this position, and it certainly hasn't, for a wealth of systemic reasons that it helps perpetrate, succeeded in changing a FPTP electoral system into something vaguely democratic, that would allow for other options.
All it ever comes off as, to me, as someone trying to brag about just how little they care. It doesn't do jack shit any good. Vote for any non-reactionary third party. Hell, I've voted third party plenty. But stop pretending that regressive shitfest party is identical to a moderately conservative one because you know damn well that's a perspective unique to teenagers who just discovered politics.
Also, regarding intolerance, since "you guys" never seem to understand this:
Actions with consequences on others aren't subject to the principals of tolerance. If it has an effect on others, it can be judged. If it doesn't, lay the fuck off. This is the principal at work, and I'm sorry you don't get it.
Still the republicans. Sorry. Your subjective complaints about minor consequences of a particular piece of legislation do not stand up to the kinda shit republicans do, and I'll go so as far as to say that if you think that's injustice, you haven't seen even the tiniest scraps of the real world.
There's not such a thing "fundamental" evil. That's either superstitious or a gross simplification. There's just normal, everyday evil, that piles up, gets quietly ignored, tacitly accepted, and only very rarely, actively embraced by the people who benefit most. I don't pretend my clothes aren't made in a sweatshop, but I need them to have my job, and I can't even begin to find business formalwear that isn't. This is a nontrivial evil I contribute just by living, and I am doing my damnedest to remember that at least some of that burden falls on me to address; it's easy to ignore.
I'm a single person, and my power is limited. I can't shift culture. I can't gun down everyone who plays a bigger part than me(and that'd be worse). I can just try not to let things slide. All it took for Hitler to get elected was to promise those with power what they wanted, and for people to let the rougher edges of his policy go. It was objectively wrong to vote for Hitler. What's wrong with holding that position?
(Hypothetical way-hyperbolic comparison)If they voted for Hitler? Yeah, I'm going to do that.
If you vote for the modern republican party in the united states(at the national level), you are actively engaged in using your limited power to harm others, and there's not really any excuse I've heard for the behavior.
Or you know, a well known totalitarian government stamping out a black market currency, you know, to control their citizens, like they've been doing forever.
No one has adequately explained to me what these unspecified "improvements" are. Maybe it's not possible to notice the better crops after the excessive heaps of fertilizer Microsoft added to them, but strip metro... and... it's windows 7.
Yeah, I work at a company, and make software. I get paid real US dollars. For the software I make. I don't sell my soul, giving them free advertisement for their crap just because that's where I get my salary. They get my productivity. They don't need my honesty.
Reality stars are people desperate for fame and "a shot" in hollywood. They get pushed around for bogus dreams of a future that they won't have.
Indie game devs are people with useful skills and degrees who could be making twice what they are right now, but chase the dream of making what they want, and doing what they enjoy. Rolling over for some corporate shill you can do at JP Morgan chase for a lot more money, and a lot less hassle.
Or... and this is just an idea, they could keep the advertising separate. Advertise between segments, rather than expecting skilled, focused people to make concessions in the middle of a competition.
A guess: Microwaves do not "self update" for DST, which is the technically simpler way of "not fucking about with clocks" per your previous post. They were contending that you completely ignored all the clock-fucking you did yourself, or were somehow miraculously free of a situation where you'd be familiar with it.
Virtual reality games and augmented reality tools, in spite of both using your eyes, are so far apart in functionality, that if this were the explanation, the shareholders would be justified in a lynching.

Right. "Don't lump me into this group I'm failing to understand is self-descriptive of exactly my own beliefs"
Here's the group: "People who don't actually understand what tolerance means."
And, yes, you are in that group.

Yeah, sorry, GUIs won. Like 20 years ago. You can stop pretending that our multicore processors with 64 gigs of ram can't handle them.

Remember when there were shows about actual reality? They called them documentaries.
Yeah, I work at a company, and make software. I get paid real US dollars. For the software I make. I don't sell my soul, giving them free advertisement for their crap just because that's where I get my salary. They get my productivity. They don't need my honesty.
The answer is "Some people who aren't you."
I would, except that the idea of another "drama" filled "reality" snorefest instead of a real documentary would ruin it.

And then we'll still be better than idiots like you with no dignity or self-respect.
Not everyone who does things in the vague arena of entertainment wants to be a whore for a corporate product they don't actually endorse.
Then you didn't read the report. It's all categorized as proportional risks.
To play video games?

Except when there's no evidence of this.
Original ideas can't end in the word "forever" Thanks Orwell.
You can finally see the picture. It's a giant middle finger. Flipping you off. Forever.
AR!=HUD. But point taken.
