Lemme git this straight. There have been a million security hacks of orgs where dudes were in charge, but the first time one happens to a women, you're bitching about "diversity hires".
Eat shit and die misogynist prick.
Every country in the world actively spies on everyone and everything they think matters, including their own citizens. According to your logic, the only solution is "don't buy a phone".
Gee whiz, I guess the only difference is that Google is a private organization, not the Government. When Google can arrest people for being in one of their databases, I'll worry. Until then, I'll they ACs like you to please go shut the fuck up.
Litvinenko was a totally average citizen with no special reason to fear Russia, sure
And you know this how? You don't; if you did, you wouldn't be talking about it, so by definition, you don't and your biases are speaking out of your ass.
State actors do the {THINGS} they do for the {REASONS} they have, and I don't know any of it, and I'm damn sure you don't either. The difference between you and me is that I don't speculate on shit I don't know on/.
Reacting to comments with the limited vocabulary of the Left leaves you accusing everyone so dishes with you of being a fascist. That's stupid.
And posting nonsensical objections when called out for being a Nazi apologist makes you what?
Seriously, what the fuck is "the limited vocabulary of the left", and what, specifically did you see in the post that makes you think that AC's vocabulary is limited, much less "left-limited"?
Fair is fair, and equity between the population is fair.
Woman are 50% of the population and we're grossly underrepresented in countless areas of society. I don't give a shit about "brains are/aren't different" or whatever other hand waving people use to rationalize doing nothing to keep the status quo that benefits men. It's wrong, and you know in your heart of hearts that if the situation were reversed, men would be starting wars to change it so it was equitable.
So petty virtue signalling is better than telling Trump things he needs to hear.
1. It isn't "petty virtue signalling". Refusing to associate with racists is "actual virtue".
2. There is no point in "telling Trump things he needs to hear" if he "isn't interested in listening".
You really don't make me feel very good about voting Democrat in the next election.
3. Vote for whoever the fuck you want to; why do we give a shit? The post you're replying to has nothing to do with "Democrats", so the fact that you took it as an opportunity to say you won't vote Democrats tells us you weren't going to anyway.
If you are an accurate reflection on the Democrat mindset then it's horribly unhinged and divorced from any sort of pragmatism.
4. You're projecting.
5. When the fuck did "pragmatism" become a thing when it comes to fighting against bigotry and racism?
That's an extra bonus above and beyond advocating the labeling people as Nazis so you can act like one yourself.
You seem to be unclear about how Nazis acted if you think AC's "thank god they aren't racist" is comparable to gassing millions of innocent people or starting two wars.
Funny. They wear Nazi regalia and use Nazi salutes and pursue Nazi messages of intolerance. It's walking like a duck and quacking like a duck. Who gives a fuck if they are "actual Nazis". We kicked the "actual Nazi"'s asses in WWII -- and for good reason. Of course they aren't fucking "actual Nazis". The fact that you need to be so pedantic over how some people are confusing intolerant assholes with "Nazis" and "Fascists" (something else they aren't) rather trying to defend their goals just goes to show how bankrupt your argument is. Either you can't defend it, or won't defend it. Instead you quibble with the shorthand people use to label it.
They're intolerant in a society that is built of a requirement for tolerance. We're a country literally founded on the notion of accepting all races and religions of people from all over the world, and they want to be intolerant. In the pursuit of their narrow, bigoted agenda, they want to fuck it up for the vast majority of us who are happy to live and let live. That makes them assholes as well.
There, are you happy now?
There's a paradox in a society built on tolerance: the only thing we cannot tolerate is intolerance.
Problem with your argument is that it assumes that people of certain demographics are somehow superior in performance for certain tasks. This is not true
OP's point makes no such assumption. The argument is that people of different demographics use devices and do their jobs differently. That's it. Women will do things differently than men. Western culture differently than Eastern. Young differently than old, blue folks different than green. People who disdain the benefits of diversity invariably trot out "It's reverse discrimination!" or belittle/dismiss the benefits of it. The benefits of diversity of people are diversity in thought and action and culture and experience, plain and simple. Difference in and of itself can be beneficial in certain situations -- the same way that homogeneity can be a benefit in certain situations. Those that try to drive the train any farther than this are stroking their personal biases.
We've really lost something in the rush to make smart phones do more and more in a thinner and thinner package.
If the "something we've lost" is the ability to not charge your phone for a couple of weeks, it isn't something people care about. Plugging your phone in at night (when you're asleep anyway) isn't the burden that "feature phone" enthusiasts paint it out to be.
You're a fucking moron. Fascism has nothing to do with "left" or "right". Stop telling people to learn history when you can't even be bothered to read a fucking dictionary.
Fascism
A governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism.
That's an interesting case to make, that the 14th Amendment conflicts with the 12th Amendment. There isn't a supremacy clause in the Constitution. Interesting. Good luck with that. Hire some lawyers. Maybe you'll be famous.
They can always, you know, go work for another company.
Or, you know, the sexual harassers can just stop? What the fuck is it with neckbeards that think they can just grope their way across the company and it's their victims that have to go find other work?
What is it with women who insist on working for companies run by creeps?
What is it with creeps who insist on running companies>? Or what is it with idiots who think that creeps SHOULD run companies? Oh right. You're a man. Nobody is trying to put you on your knees for a paycheck.
Exactly -- and then the car came along.
We have a similar situation now: it's looking like the whole world will be six feet deep in proverbial horse shit
I imagine they had heated arguments over the "horse manure problem" back then as well, with shit-deniers and shit-disturbers throwing shit everywhere. Hopefully there's a happy ending to our modern version of this story and the market trends we're seeing in renewables will continue to accelerate.
The difference now is that the stakes are quite a bit higher than simply covering New York in shit.

Ducking FUH. That doesn't make it an FM radio any more than my wifi router is.
No, heâ(TM)s a dipshit and heâ(TM)s completely wrong, unless heâ(TM)s invented some kind of camo that can defeat IR AND visible light.

*Cough* bullshit. This is where a citation or three will keep you from looking like a moronic neckbeard.
Of course all lives matter. Ducking FUH. Maybe if cops were shooting white people as indiscriminately as black people there might be a reason to say "all lives matter".
Freudian slip, methinks.

So, in other words, "who do you want to be pwned by? The Americans, or the Russians?"
Winter came a LONG time ago and the White Walkers fucked JEE in the eyehole. It ain't a hippy; it's a shambling mound.

So is it your assertion that Russia did nothing? That every intelligence service we have is blatantly lying?
Or, you know, the sexual harassers can just stop? What the fuck is it with neckbeards that think they can just grope their way across the company and it's their victims that have to go find other work?
What is it with creeps who insist on running companies>? Or what is it with idiots who think that creeps SHOULD run companies? Oh right. You're a man. Nobody is trying to put you on your knees for a paycheck.
Mmmm.... eat shit and die, wouldja?
Did you just seriously say "who cares if they influence our election"?
