1) Both are actively fighting radical Islamic terrorist threats 2) Both are pretty conservative (in opposition to the ultra-liberal European norm) 3) Both are very religious and very Christian (in opposition to the increasingly atheist/agnostic European norm) 4) Both are very patriotic (in opposition to the cynical European norm) 5) Both are taking a fairly hard-line approach to immigration (as opposed to other European countries who seem to just be throwing their doors open to any middle-aged African claiming to be a sixteen-year-old Syrian refugee) 6) Both still have an active and functioning space program 7) Both are very pro-military--in spirit, funding, and practice.
This guy isn't accused of doing anything wrong. The guy who *was* accused has resigned. Right?
So why is it this guy's job to constantly apologize for the actions of someone he had no control over and who has already been forced out of the firm? It's not his fucking fault his former partner was an asshole.
According to the article, it costs 60 yuan to replace an umbrella, but the deposit is only 19 yuan. But no worries;-) , they plan to make up for their losses in volume:
but Zhao has not yet given up hope. He reportedly plans to release another 30 million umbrellas by the end of the year.
On a related note, anyone know what 41 x 30,000,000 adds up to?
You'll never be able to fix the "sexual harassment problem" in Silicon Valley. Why? Because:
1) Liberal Silicon Valley will keep moving the goalposts on what constitutes sexual harassment. The more you do to fix it, the more the goalposts will move--until virtually everything is considered harassment.
2) Firms will keep hiring more women in hopes that it will virtue signal that they're progressive. These women will repay this effort by filing more and more sexual harassment claims. You'll hire more women to fix the problem, which will make the problem worse, which will cause you to hire more women....
3) No victim is ever going to give up their victimhood status without a fight, no matter how much you do to appease them.
But if you want to waste your time trying to do the impossible, then go for it. On the upside, it will hopefully speed up the inevitable Silicon Valley crash that's long overdue.
That's the same "style" that every older mother in America uses in every other Facebook or Twitter post they've ever made. Shit, my mother was using that "style" before the internet even existed, sending me tragic newspaper clippings in the mail with "sad" written on them.
Yeah, sadly, it looks like Trump has no intention of keeping his promises on meaningful H1B reform. Oh well, I always gave it about a 30% chance he would follow through at best. Better than the 0% chance that Hillary Clinton would have done anything to reform the H1B program, but ultimately useless either way.
I don't blame the cablecos for the shit way they treat their customers. I blame the bribed local governments that keep giving those cablecos monopolies no matter how many citizens are fucked over by them.
It's a cableco's job to make as much money as possible. But it's my local government's job to represent *ME*. One of these two is failing miserably at their job.
Yeah, in a post BSG world, Star Trek is going to look pretty hokey if they don't really have their writing game in order. And DS9 was the last Star Trek series to have good writing for its time, and that was 20 years ago.

Just a few examples:
1) Both are actively fighting radical Islamic terrorist threats
2) Both are pretty conservative (in opposition to the ultra-liberal European norm)
3) Both are very religious and very Christian (in opposition to the increasingly atheist/agnostic European norm)
4) Both are very patriotic (in opposition to the cynical European norm)
5) Both are taking a fairly hard-line approach to immigration (as opposed to other European countries who seem to just be throwing their doors open to any middle-aged African claiming to be a sixteen-year-old Syrian refugee)
6) Both still have an active and functioning space program
7) Both are very pro-military--in spirit, funding, and practice.
The Cold War should have ended 25 years ago. But we just can't let it go.
Is there any American company that can prove their independence from the U.S. government?
Mongo have similar experience.

Everyone in Silicon Valley knows the real answer:
f) Someone stupid enough to believe your bullshit and lucky enough to have money.
The SCMP reports that Zhao concluded that the safest place for an umbrella would be at the customer's home, where it would be safe and undamaged.
Yeah, apparently the customers agreed.

77 per cent of EU consumers would rather repair their goods than buy new ones
And what percentage would be willing to pay significantly more for those repairable products than they are paying now for the non-repairable versions?

anti-white speech seems more funny than offensive
I wonder if these people find it funny.
Now you can have the same level of suck, but on the go!

Hey, in all fairness, Indiana Bones and the Temple of Fists had a pretty compelling underlying story.
Now with MORE MOLECULES!
Exactly what I expect from Disney: the safest choice.
And this is one of the many reasons that I regard Disney Star Wars as just high-budget fanfic.

10 Gbps* for only $10/month and $100 hook-up fee
* Up to 10 Gbps
"Hey you promised 10 Gbps and now I've got no internet at all after I paid your hook-up fee."
"Sorry, sir. You should have read the terms more carefully."
I don't know, I'll have to check an updated victimhood matrix to see which is the most morally superior.
Well, at least they didn't say "air on."
