Cremier, why have you given up the Christian practice?
I went to a non-denominational Christian Church in the San Francisco Bay Area for 13 years. I got kicked out because I accused the leadership of being morally corrupt. The way they put me out of the fellowship proved that they were morally corrupt (i.e., more about them and less about God). That was 12 years ago. I'm no a longer a believer in organized religions.
Or is it just a small percentage of hardcore users on their phones every waking minute who are skewing the mean?
A friend of mine is such a hard-core user of his iPhone that he carries three backup batteries. I keep telling him to turn off the Facebook app if he wants to get through the day on a single charge.
That sounds about right. I split my time between the Kindle App on the iPhone when I ride the express bus to and fro work, and a Kindle when I read in bed.
Now is time for you to start threatening to shoot people because they point out your crap, and from what I am seeing that is pretty much everyone else.
You're aware that because of this nonsense I wrote a Python script to scrape my 8,000+ comment history from Slashdot? I can prove that I never threaten to shoot anyone and I can prove that an asshat falsely accused me for six weeks.
I should send your posting log to your government office. You post more during the day, and only during weekday working hours, than you probably do your job. California is being ripped off by you, illegally I would like to add.
No. You used the term "hurry and up die," which is associated with the healthcare debate. On a related note, Congress extended healthcare for retired coal miners and their relatives in the recently approved budget bill.
The only thing that Trump did in his first 100 days was get a Supreme Court confirmation. Everything else is bluster.
Yeah, I know it hurts.
I haven't noticed.
Don't worry - there's a good chance you have only 7 3/4 years of real economic successes to suffer through before you get to cheer on 8 years of "recovery to nowhere" again.
After eight years of slow growth under Obama, we're overdue for a recession. There's nothing that Trump can do to stop it.
Oh you mean the same way House AND SENATE Democrats violated their own procedure and long stated congressional traditions to ram rod Obamacare down the throats of the US (We have to pass it to see what's in it) and passing it in the congress with only a simple majority and nationalized the healh care system in the US?
Did you forget the Republicans vowed not to do the same thing as the Democrats did? Are you aware that the Senate Republicans are planning to use the same budget reconciliation procedure that the Democrats used to pass ObamaCare? Can we say hypocrites?
Now put that in your stupid spreadsheet and see if you've commented on that!
My Python scraper script only works with named accounts and not asshat accounts.
I can assure you, as ObamaCare premiums were skyrocketing, as was deductibles, while choices/options were falling, the Democrats didn't give two shits for the people actually paying for their health insurance.
I can assure you that as an IT Support contractor, contracting agencies have offered health insurance as part of a standard benefits package since ObamaCare got passed in 2010. Prior to that, there was no benefit package. My employer today offers a dozen different policies to pick from and my monthly cost is $250 per month for the same policy I used to pay $500 per month.
The House Republicans violated their own procedures by rushing the current version of their healthcare bill in 24 hours without hearings or being scored by the Congressional Budget Office. This bill is nearly identical to the last bill that got scored at kicking ~24M Americans off their insurance policies (translation: hurry and die). If the Senate do their job, the House bill die a quiet death or be radically rewritten.
I don't see anyone warning Obama or Trump about what's happening right now.
We're overdue for a recession by traditional economic measures. Since Hillary lost the election, it won't be called the Hillary and/or Obama Recession.
Not for today. And this is a variation of one I've done before.
How fucking lazy are you?
I wrote a Python script to scrape my 8,000+ comment history from Slashdot so I can copy and paste the same comment over and over again. Since some asshat complained about my using a CSV file to store comments, I added SQLite database as a save option. Still need to write the HTML, JSON, Markdown and XML save functions.
For a while the official unemployment rate didn't budge at all. If you read the monthly reports carefully, more and more people got hired each month. That should have driven down the unemployment rate further. It didn't. Looks like the slack of unemployed people got absorbed into the economy last year. Now that "full employment" is a talking point, expect inflation to become a hot topic as employers struggle to find workers.
But the same people who want them to lose their coal mining jobs also want to make sure there's no opportunity for them in these other industries
Hillary offered a job training program assistance. When George W. signed a similar law after 9/11, I used the $3,000 tax credit to go back to school, get out of my dead end video game testing job and into my career in IT Support.
The most common remedy the left seems to offer them is for them to hurry up and die.
That's the Republican healthcare bill.
I wonder why they listen to someone like Trump instead?
Trump promised to bring back coal mining jobs. Which he has no plans to do.
oh - now you suddenly care about unemployment numbers?
I've always cared about the unemployment numbers, especially since I was out of work for two years (2009-2010), underemployed (working 20 hours per month) for six months, and filing for Chapter Seven bankruptcy.
I don't recall you pooh-poohing news like this when Obama was in office - in fact you trumpeted how good these numbers were and conservatives should shut up.
I don't recall telling anyone to shut up. As a moderate conservative, I'm a great believer in both the 1st and 2nd Amendments.
However when the boss demands the highest possible security clearances for all staff and then invites a Hollywood set designer to just wander in and look at everything to do a Star Trek themed "command center" it's part of an especially special kind of failure.
Sounds like some of the NOCs (Network Operations Centers) I've visited at Fortune 500 companies. Impresses the hell out of visitors but not very functional for day-to-day network operations.
I thought part of the Trump plan to make America great again was to turn a blind eye towards Corporate America. Why is the Justice Department doing its job?
Nope, all three of them are still around and doing fine.
They're around but they don't have the same influence when they were just the Big Three networks. For example, the only time I hear about CBS is when they're pissing on the fan-made videos of Star Trek.

Uh, no.

That's correct. With the link to my comment, I can trace back to the root of thread. Here's an example of such a thread.

You changed the subject to health care.
No. You used the term "hurry and up die," which is associated with the healthcare debate. On a related note, Congress extended healthcare for retired coal miners and their relatives in the recently approved budget bill.

Anecdotal evidence is best!
I'm happy to have insurance after being without for 10+ years. If the Republican healthcare bill become law, my insurance policy will disappear.
Sooo, Trump is bringing something back.
The only thing that Trump did in his first 100 days was get a Supreme Court confirmation. Everything else is bluster.
Yeah, I know it hurts.
I haven't noticed.

Health coverage doesn't significantly affect health.
What does this have to do with Republican healthcare bill?
You should still grow up.
I'm not the one trying to change the subject.
I can assure you, as ObamaCare premiums were skyrocketing, as was deductibles, while choices/options were falling, the Democrats didn't give two shits for the people actually paying for their health insurance.

You believe in evolution, right?
As a non-practicing Christian, yes.
How many times have you copy/pasted that into a post in the past week?
Off the top of my head, once. I'll have to check my spreadsheet when I get home.
Come up with some new material already.
I have. You're too busy bitching about the old material.
That's the Republican healthcare bill
. Grow up.
The House Republicans violated their own procedures by rushing the current version of their healthcare bill in 24 hours without hearings or being scored by the Congressional Budget Office. This bill is nearly identical to the last bill that got scored at kicking ~24M Americans off their insurance policies (translation: hurry and die).

good look trying to find someone to vote for.
I vote for the best person for the job, not the letter next to their name.

Too many people work without paying taxes, therefore count as unemployed or they are too comfortable living with mommy, daddy or sugar daddy.
You got too many alternative facts mixed up in that statement. Just focus on one. No need to do three at a time.
oh - now you suddenly care about unemployment numbers?
I've always cared about the unemployment numbers, especially since I was out of work for two years (2009-2010), underemployed (working 20 hours per month) for six months, and filing for Chapter Seven bankruptcy.

What about the 92 million unemployed Americans who are waiting for new coal mining jobs?
I thought part of the Trump plan to make America great again was to turn a blind eye towards Corporate America. Why is the Justice Department doing its job?
Nope, all three of them are still around and doing fine.
