They've invented political affiliation detection, education level detection, eGaydar, and now suicide detection. What's next, fingerprints that indicate one jacks off twice a day...I mean once a day?
Denmark is a totally fake country, believe me! Loser MSM made it up, like they always do. Real countries don't start with "D". Their lame cookies also get a "D". So sad.
Our election system is screwed up royally: every county can do it differently and sloppily. One should be able to vote on the spot without having to pre-register, and be up to the government or complaining party to prove one is an invalid voter. Vote first, verify latter. If it slows down election results, so be it.
I agree that walk-in first-time voting should require enough info to verify later, such as name, address, SSN, and either an ID or thumb-print.
If people still knew how to write HTML, almost no web site would need to use any "JavaScript" or other "active content", with all the security issues this implies.
I doubt enough browsers support the fancy animations that PHB's love so much: wiggly throbbing bouncy controls. They want the UI to behave like the breasts they get slapped for trying to touch.
Eye-candy sells and the silly humans fall for it. Proverbial books continue to get judged by their covers. Good luck fixing human nature.
we don't actually need a bad guy, just two opposing people with differing value judgement
I will agree such makes a much more compelling and perhaps realistic story. However, the movie maker risks offending those who disagree with the dominant or winning view. Simplistic good versus simplistic evil avoids such alienation. An alien invasion is a good example: conquerors arrive from space to enslave or kill humanity, and we fight back to defend ourselves. Nobody disagrees with defending humanity's existence. (Cockroaches might, but they don't buy movie tickets.)
I suppose compromise, cooperation, and nuance can be added to stories of differing value judgments, but those tend not to do well at the box office for some reason. Perhaps the right story teller hasn't been given a chance to make movies yet...
Honestly, until Hollywood stops trying to shove their alt left agenda down our throat, they will continue to do poorly.
I've been hearing this complaint from the right for a long time. The right has very good access to deep pockets such that they can form their own studios and make their own damned movies. You are not held hostage.
a conservative narrative, with a struggle between good and evil... [hero should have] evil to overcome [besides] corporate suits
So you define progressive values as "evil"? I don't know what your New Testament says, but mine talks far far more about not being a greedy selfish prick than it does about gays or "evil" unions.
Sorry, but I see power-grabbing selfish plutocrats and big co's who (now legally) bribe politicians as the biggest current evil. You may personally like plutocrats & monopolies running YOUR ass, but I do not. They are even damaging the planet by trashing climate change science. If that's not evil, then I guess I have no clue what "evil" is.
And don't even get me started about the Nazi-esque Orange Joker in the Whitehouse.
Everything our current models tell us about reality, from the Big Bang to the Heat Death of the observable universe could very well be nothing more than a finite and insignificant perturbation in the infinity of existence.
They are spending too much time and resources on probes against one and another.
Seems we need an independent group to prioritize investigations based on level of suspicion and probable damage rather than politics. Otherwise, the party in power will just pour microscopes into the opposing party.
the [GOP] chairmen want to know why the bureau publicly said it was investigating Clinton while keeping silent that it was looking into President Donald Trump's campaign associates and their connections to Russia.
Making such public would hurt T's election chances. Why would they want that? Looks more like they are inventing excuses to dig. After all, the email scandal came about while investigating Benghazi in general. Thus, digging in A may result in dirt on B.
Further, Putie's meddling was current, while the email issue was from the past. Typically you don't want to let the suspect know you are investigating a crime in progress (unless something imminent and significant is about to happen).
