Okay, I get that farmers should be able to repair their own equipment (if they actually own it, not leased) using 3rd party parts and mechanics. But Deere absolutely SHOULD NOT be forced to sell parts to someone if they don't want to. They are a private company, and as such, they get to choose the customers they serve and sell their shit to--period.
We choose to shit out more carbon than we use. We choose to shit out more carbon than we use in this decade and do the other things, not because they these shits will be easy, but because these shits will be hard, because those huge hardened turds will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.
I'm not crazy about kombucha. It's a big fad now and there are places here in California that have kombucha on tap, but it's not really to my taste. Some people swear by it. I notice that now when you buy it in the store, they ask for an ID since there's a small amount of alcohol in it.
You can thank Lindsay Lohan for the ID thing. She got busted for being a drunken whore during one of her many falls off the wagon and tried to claim that she hadn't been drinking booze, but just kombucha. After that, everyone started requiring ID checks for the stuff. As if we needed another reason to hate that ginger trainwreck.
No, it will be cheaper for them to just fund a buttload of shitty French nihilist films that cost about $50 to make. So get ready for a whole section of ultra-low-budget pseudo-intellectual Catherine-Breillat-wannabe and neo-Dogme95 movies that no one outside of a handful of suicidal emos will watch.
If this person REALLY cared about the American People, they would resign and publicly speak out against Donald Trump and openly disclose "Mr. Trump's more misguided impulses."
This person is just a coward who wants to keep collecting their paycheck while pretending to be the hero. It's the classic "Oh, I'll still collect my big paycheck from the corrupt corporation/government every week, sure. But....I'm undermining them from within you see..." argument made by the spineless toadies of every criminal, dictator, etc. in the world when someone calls them out for aiding and abetting. Maybe it helps them sleep at night, but no one in their right mind buys their bullshit.
Trump is right, either resign and truly stand up for your convictions, or do your fucking job.
But if ISP's have to be content-neutral and take responsibility for privacy and security issues, then why shouldn't platforms like Facebook, Twitter, etc. have to do it too?

Did you really think *I* wouldn't check?
Tell me, AmiMoJo, do you even believe your own SJW bullshit anymore, or are you just in too deep now to change sides?
Awwwh, come on, see...I'm betting heavy on the Reds to win the series. Everyone knows the Sox are a sure-fire to win. Give a crackpot a break here, pal, you can't lose!
So now they are only awarding women with the Hugh award, whatever it is?
It's been that way since the SJW's took over the Hugos and most of the big publications (like Asimov's Science Fiction) years ago. It's a warning of what can happen if you let the SJW cancer get even a foothold in your hobby. White males need not apply.
Yep, Issac Asimov, Fredrik Pohl, Phillip K. Dick, Arthur C. Clarke...all secretly had vaginas. Best kept secret in the industry.
It's hard to believe that AmiMoJo believes even a fraction of his own bullshit anymore. Looking at the Hugos, you would think that white men just up and decided to stop writing science fiction in the 21st century. Of course, we all know that's not what really happened.
Problem is, geeks would be incapable of making a comedy about themselves. They'd be so wrapped up in minor technical points in the script that they'd never get any filming done.
Geeks and math nerds made Futurama and a whole bunch of other shows, Just because someone is a nerd doesn't mean they can't write.
But the more important thing is that there isn't an obvious systemic problem here. If there was you know I'd be first to point it out. This year is exceptional.
No white men have won a Hugo in anything, save for the "dramatic presentation" category, in years.
And at last, we have ONE white guy in 2015 (for best novelette). And the only reason he won was because there was an open rebellion among the fans demanding it: https://www.wired.com/2015/08/... Of course, that didn't stop the Hugo committee from responding to the rebellion by refusing to issue awards for most of the other nominees: http://www.thehugoawards.org/h...
Should I go on, or are you still going to pretend that white guys have a snowball's chance in hell of winning a Hugo anymore?
Laughing at yourself is great when one of your own is doing the joking, not when some smug outsider asshole is making fun of you. One is fun self-reflection. The other is just being a dick.
That might also have meant the lunatic wasn't able to buy a car or didn't want one as it wasn't a status symbol.
Agreed. Car crime has clearly gotten out of control. We must ban cars! The Constitution only said cars were to be allowed "as part of a well-regulated militia fleet" NOT for regular civilians. SOMEONE WRITE AN OP-ED FOR THE HUFFINGTON POST, NOW!

Or better yet, why don't they put their money into buying tractors from one of John Deere's many competitors (like Case, Massey Ferguson, etc.)?
Oh yeah, because farmers are cheap bastards who want John Deere's low prices but without all the gotchas.
Okay, I get that farmers should be able to repair their own equipment (if they actually own it, not leased) using 3rd party parts and mechanics. But Deere absolutely SHOULD NOT be forced to sell parts to someone if they don't want to. They are a private company, and as such, they get to choose the customers they serve and sell their shit to--period.

No, that would just increase the methane emissions from all that bullshit.
Half the professors are probably already living in their cars themselves.
Yep, he'll bounce back. Word is, he's already looking at a couple of replacements for those pussy execs who left.

At this point I can only conclude that you're either a deep-cover troll or mentally ill. Either way--you be you, man.
I'll get back to you later tonight after I harvest my crop in No Man's Sky.

Did you really think *I* wouldn't check?
Tell me, AmiMoJo, do you even believe your own SJW bullshit anymore, or are you just in too deep now to change sides?
I refuse to take your bet.
Awwwh, come on, see...I'm betting heavy on the Reds to win the series. Everyone knows the Sox are a sure-fire to win. Give a crackpot a break here, pal, you can't lose!
That's only going to work if by "try harder" you mean "get gender reassignment surgery."

So I guess 2017 was an exceptional year too.

And so was 2016.

Dumb people like laughing at smart people. Film at eleven.
It was as if the writers of that show got all their understanding of nerds from watching shitty 80's movies.
Laughing at yourself is great when one of your own is doing the joking, not when some smug outsider asshole is making fun of you. One is fun self-reflection. The other is just being a dick.
That show was never laughing *WITH* us. It was laughing *AT* us.
Agreed. Car crime has clearly gotten out of control. We must ban cars! The Constitution only said cars were to be allowed "as part of a well-regulated militia fleet" NOT for regular civilians. SOMEONE WRITE AN OP-ED FOR THE HUFFINGTON POST, NOW!
You mean an 11-year-old boy and 11-year-old girl didn't just hack all-der-voting-machines with their mad-crazy l33t hacking skills alone?!?
You lied to me AGAIN, media! DAMN YOUR HOUSE OF LIES!
