realize that in this foul year of our lord 2017, any media coverage of a potential exploit that releases unanticipated or unauthorized amounts of data must now be called a 'bleed.'
It's either "gate" or "bleed", depending on what kind of people you want in your twitter mob.
You mean Indio, CA? You can't get a CCW permit in California unless you have a good reason, and "safety" is too vague. So either there's more to the story or the guy wasn't actually carrying a weapon, or he was carrying an illegal weapon, in which case gun laws don't really help. Did you even see it?
And besides, with the exception of your interpretation of his "attacking body language", there's nothing in this anecdote that has any relevance in the discussion. You took a progressively more anti-gun position knowing full well that the other guy was pro-gun, and the discussion ended with him saying that he didn't have to listen to you. What does that prove? Did he point his gun at you? You clearly stated that he put his hand inside his jacket (allegedly to reach this alleged gun) before the discussion got heated.
If you don't want awkward conversations to end awkwardly, don't engage strangers on topics on which you know they will disagree.
The problem is not capitalism. The problem if the Federal Reserve giving money for free to big banks so those banks have no incentives to pay interests to people who want to have savings. The direct consequence is that investment banks are rewarded for taking risks, and institutional investors such as pension funds make riskier and riskier bets to merely beat the inflation and meet their annual benchmarks; they also pressure CEOs to focus on short-term profit, driving away the incentive for innovation and proper business strategy. Meanwhile, small investors are getting poorer and poorer, leaving less and less money to the next generation.
Look at what is happening in Japan: the demand for home safes is skyrocketing, as negative interest rates mean that people must pay to put money in the bank. How can normal people expect to build wealth over time if they can't have savings.
For the record, I'm not disagreeing, since with the exception of the A/C bit, I've heard about the rest through various outlets for me to consider it reliable.
Also I was wondering: do you have a diversity program in place?
If there was one place that needed a diversity program in place, it would be professional sports. Despite not being the superior athlete, I should get hired onto a multi-million dollar NBA contract because I'm white and underrepresented.
The golf people got it right. They have all the minorities at once in a single top player: problem solved.
The shooter probably saw the jobs he was qualified for moved to 3rd world nations and 3rd world citizens moved into his hometown to take jobs from his countrymen - what's the correct response? All the average man can do is vote or lash out - I agree it's likely this fellow did both.
Why is it that people see gun control as smart but immigration control as stupid? They're both instances of dealing with symptoms instead of causes.
I have been to the USA often and have friends there. The one thing I know is you can not have a rational discussion with them about gun control. They genuinely believe that the right to bear arms is a good thing and the deaths that result, while tragic, are the price of freedom.
And what makes you believe that you're not the one people can't have a rational discussion with? If you're so quick to put all pro-gun people in the same bucket as the lunatic who shot that guy, then you're not much better than the people who put you in the same bucket as ISIS terrorists.
There's no "correct" side in differences of opinions. You may think that your own opinion is better but that doesn't make other ones irrational. I'm not going to bring up all the arguments of pro-gun people (there's plenty of websites for that) but there's a lot more to it than "being a god given right".
could you post the name of your company? I don't vote for Trump but I want to be sure I never end up working for your organization by mistake.
Also I was wondering: do you have a diversity program in place? And if so, how can you possibly justify the hypocrisy of selective diversity based on political views?
Of course you won't post the name because you're a liar and/or a coward. But thanks for playing.
If you take 5 minutes to google it, you will find out that all of those claims are known to be true. But instead you're just saying "it's not true" and that by itself adds nothing to the thread.
Al Gore is a fucking hypocrite and his movie was filled with lies and inflated numbers. For instance, he said there's more severe tornadoes now than in the past (which is the exact opposite of the truth), that polar bears are dying because ice is melting (both facts are wrong) or that the dollar amount of damage caused by tornadoes has vastly increased (also wrong, it went down almost 50% in the last half-century). Anyone who knows anything about global warming is aware of it. The guy is full of shit and caused immense damage to the credibility of his cause.
From a scientific accuracy point of view, he's the equivalent of Ballmer saying that open-source is dangerous, and yet legions of morons follow him without thinking twice about it.
You're pissed because America has elected a reality TV celebrity as President? Well the truth is that for a long time now it's only people who give a good show (at the expense of the truth) that get people's attention and Al Gore is no exception. He's just been less successful at it than Trump.
Higher number of warmer days means global warming is real.
Wrong. Here's how weather works: there's always going to be places/times where temperature will be higher or lower than average for a while, even months or years, but in the grand scheme of things it doesn't prove or disprove global warming.
The science at this point indicates a near-certainty that there's actually a global warming situation, and that it's more likely than not to be caused by man (yes, those are different issues with a different level of certainty). While this has an almost certain impact on the planet (such as water level rising), it's not an increase in temperature that people can directly experience; we're talking about 0.85 Celsius, so it's not something that can explain a colder or warmer season.
But here's another thing about weather: because we're talking about extremely long periods of times in any given indicator, there's no certainty about actual patterns because there hasn't been enough instances of those indicators. For instance, based on past trends, we should already have been experiencing a new ice age more than a century ago (before man could actually do enough harm to impact weather). And yet, we're not covered by miles of ice, so trends can only help us to a point.
What we need as a species is people who think long term and find ways to slowly evolve our technology and lifestyle in a way that favors survival; what we don't need is idiots who confuse everyone with their ill-informed opinions that a mild winter in Cleveland is proof of global warming or that a cool summer in Atlanta proves that there's no such thing. So if you're not willing to educate yourself, the best you can do is remove yourself from the conversation because you're just giving ammo to the other side when you make ridiculous claims, whichever side you are.
It only takes $500,000/year per household to be a one-percenter; this means that a couple of Silicon Valley engineers or Boston lawyers are in that bucket, and those are not people who typically have a seat on Fortune 500 boards or spend their weekends snorting coke lines on the bare ass of teenage prostitutes while shopping for Faberge eggs on eBay.
Maybe it's time for a more granular classification of the rich.
Doesn't that make this..... I dunno, ironic seems inadequate.
Al Gore used to fly around the world in a private jet to give his talks about global warming; he had his SUV running idle during the whole speech to keep the A/C going, while the invitations he sent mentioned that people should use mass transit to save the environment; and many of his estates spend more energy than the Pentagon.
The only question here is why the fuck would anyone consider him for anything serious. Him and Clinton are doing more damage to the liberals image than Trump and Palin do to the conservatives.
The gadgets only work because of the development tools that allow developers to make compelling software for those gadgets. And those tools run on Apple's computers.
Mac isn't going anywhere, any time soon. As long as the Mac business is anywhere close to break-even, Apple keeps it around due to the absurd profits generated by iOS. And Mac makes a profit.
That's not how it works. The only reason a well-managed company keeps a break-even product line is if it helps another product line by allowing them some kind of economy of scale in deals with vendors. For instance, that's why Dell is still selling laptops and desktops: so they can get lower prices for their server components.
The day Apple can no longer use their computer sales to get better prices for their iPhone components, they'll drop the line. That's obvious when you see how stale their hardware and software design has been on Macs for a long time now, they're just milking it.
Anyone who mentions this kind of micro-trend is adding noise to the discussion instead of helping people understand the real issues with global warming.
The guy is being at best inventive or resourceful. Sagacious would also be acceptable. Genius? No. Maybe you need to re-calibrate your sense of amazement.
Now that AIDS and hep c can be treated, a bastard child that knocks at your door twenty years down the road is the only risk in bareback sex with a prostitute or intern. Vasectomy solves that.
Yah, It was rough after leaving my whore wife who wouldn't stop with the mind games..
Why didn't you leave her earlier if she was playing mind games? Even better: why did you marry her in the first place? You missed the red flags? Or maybe you are looking for abusive relationships because you have issues.

I have moved practically everything of value to local servers and local storage.
That works well with floods, burglaries and fires.

Why bother with a vasectomy

Why didn't you leave her earlier if she was playing mind games? Even better: why did you marry her in the first place? You missed the red flags? Or maybe you are looking for abusive relationships because you have issues.
You're missing the point. The issue here is that they said this:
left a husband she called "violent and abusive."
instead of:
left a violent and abusive husband.
Either it's true or it's not, throwing in "she called" is a combination of ass-covering and clickbait.
