    Talk about the deaths of little 21 month old Mariee, how ICE stole her from her mother, she got sick in an ICE internment army camp, lost 1kg of weight, was not given medical attention before being released to die with her mother, the mother who lives in New Jersey.

    But Vice News says five pediatricians who reviewed details of Mariee's care say that after contracting the illness, she received treatment that was consistent with what they would have done. The story says all five doctors believed Mariee's "recommended course of treatment would have been the same had she not been in ICE custody."

    "It's reasonable care," said Dr. Ewen Wang, associate director of pediatric emergency medicine at Stanford University Medical Center. "It didn't sound like she was in the best of health, but not something you anticipate dying from."

    "Juarez told Vice News that she decided to have Mariee buried in their native Guatemala. Her asylum case is pending."

    Democrat propaganda in full swing.

    Don't hold your breath. You would think that even their PR department would have some basic science knowledge, but apparently even just that is asking too much ...

    That wasn't a wild claim at all. I may somewhat disagree with other parts of his comment, but the part you chose to quote is quite accurate.

    So I guess that means that, before all of these SJWs started creating work stoppages, there were no harrassers?

    Boy, the 1950s must have been wonderful. Totally harassment free!

    Posting to "social media" such as G+ would be a bad idea and probably career limiting.

    Why would it be a problem if they posted to G+? It's not as if anyone would see it ...

    A single person doesn't HAVE $100B to spend.

    I swear it's as if the commies seem to believe that reach people just keep billions of dollars under their mattress. The vast majority of "money" which billionaires have isn't money but rather control over large businesses. If CompanyX is worth $40 billion and I own half of it's stock, I "have" $20 billion ... but I am never going to see that money, let alone spend it. I don't have $20 billion in bills shoved into a piggy-bank; I have $20 billion in assets which are actively involved in actually doing things in the real world. Money at that level isn't money; it's control.

  11. If you're counting a 1,000 channel cable package as "cost of living", you're kind of an idiot.

  12. Re: Mixed feelings on Elon Musk Shakes Up SpaceX's Starlink Satellite Division By Firing a Bunch of Managers (reuters.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    Unfortunately there is a fairly tight deadline which isn't mandated by spacex but rather by the FCC. The license for the satellite constellation requires them to launch at least half of their satellites within 6 years of approval. SpaceX has applied for an exemption to this rule, but AFAIK it has not been granted. While it seems likely that the FCC will grant them some leeway as long as they make good progress, that still means that they can't afford any excessive delays.

  13. I'm not sure what you have against my kilt, or how it relates to progress.

  14. They don't really do that any more; in order to make it seem more fair they've just lowered standards across the board. There are numerous example of this, such as: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/ne...

    I saw the same thing in the Canadian military. Initially (for some 20 years) women had significantly lower standards than men. This understandably led to a lot of grumbling and discontent amongst the ranks. So the whole testing program was eventually revamped, and the standards for everyone were made the same ... which, in an effort to try and get/retain more women, resulted in the physical fitness testing being a complete joke. The standards are so low now that essentially nobody ever fails, and the "test" in no way actually reflects the requirements of the job.

    I wouldn't call them anti-science so much as anti-progress of any type.

  17. BLM and third wave feminists use baiting, physical intimidation and feigned victimhood from a position of power to maintain and expand upon their dominance over white males. While it is unfortunate that white supremacists (like all humans) may use false generalization or stereotyping at times, equating it to the goals and actions of anti-western regressives is laughable on its face.

    And here I thought slashdotters had a reputation for being bright. Is this really not obvious to you?

  18. He got booted off a Mastadon instance because a fuckload of SJWs were (in addition to constantly harrasing him) sending complaints to the Adkins, accusing him of transphobia.

    Not a big deal in the grand scheme of things, but definitely a hilarious example of the left tearing itself apart.

  19. Does that mean that Google was engaged in pimping?

  20. Imagine a world where 22 men have credibly accused Hillary Clinton of grabbing their asses at a party, or cornering them in an upstairs bedroom and informing them that they would be having an affair.

    We did, but everyone just laughed. It's not wrong when a woman does it.

  21. Also, if you hire someone exactly like yourself, is that an undiversity hire? A mono hire? What is the derogatory phrase for someone who is too similar to the boss for your comfort?

    Well if you're a white male and hire another white male, that's called "racism". If you're a black female and hire another black female, that's called "sisterhood".

  22. Where is the confusion?

    He's a postmodernist.

  23. You would say that because you're a racist jackass who believes that there's a White Conspiracy to keep the poor minorities down.

  24. You've posted an insane amount of dishonest comments here before, but this one is by far the worst. What the hell is wrong with you?

  25. Are you aware that when the when the 2nd amendment was written you could order machine gun automatic cannons with from catalogs

    No. The second amendment was adopted in 1791. The first real machine gun wasn't invented until the 1860s. While some earlier weapons were called "machine guns", they were shitty flintlock designs which were only capable of firing about 10 rounds per minute. Any pistol today can far exceed that rate of fire.

    that shotguns designed to kill crowds of animals over wide areas were common

    I couldn't find any source on when punt guns were first developed, but your own source says that they were used "in the 19th and early 20th century". Which, again, was after the second amendment was written.
