    Wait, they finally came up with a decent interface and it's a secret? Typical slashdot, I thought things were supposed to be different now. Hook me up yo

    Sorry, the promo code system isn't working at the moment. Call the Slashdot 800-number help line and say "secret interface" at the prompt and one of the Customer Experience Concierges will help you.

    First time I used coral safe sunscreen, I discovered the nuclear option. Titanium dioxide was the main ingredient. Put it on and spent hours in the water fishing. I was as white as ever when I washed it off. Not a bit of tanning from solar exposure. None. It's not the sexy option.

    Just do what I do: Use titanium dioxide and paint your face like a Juggalo. You will not only be protected from the harming rays, but you'll get all the girls. Well, not "all", but the ones who have really bad self-image. Which are basically the only ones we're going to get anyway, so... But at least you won't have to worry about skin cancer!

    Clinton (and Bill too for that matter) would have signed it; both Bushes would have signed it; I can't think of a single President or nominee from the big 2 parties in the past 50 years that wouldn't have signed it,

    You can speculate all you want, but one thing we know for sure: This law was passed by this Congress and signed by this President.

    It shouldn't have even come up for a vote. The good news is that in above five months we're going to have a new Congress. We can only hope they act with more wisdom than these jackoffs.

    Like many of the greatest affronts to civil rights, FOSTA was overwhelmingly bi-partisan. The vote was 97-2 in the Senate.

    And Donald J. Trump signed it into law. A real president would have vetoed and dared the Senate to overturn.

    The bill was signed into law by President Donald Trump on April 11, 2018

    Show of hands: Who is surprised that Republicans would enact these kind of repressive laws as soon as they got into power? The Great Leader can engage in all the prostitution he likes, but the rest of you better clean up your act.

    In related news, family values stalwart Rep. Jim Jordan (R- The Holler), turns out to have been jacking it to boys getting molested for years as a wrestling coach. And what is it with Republican wrestling coaches and the sexual abuse of young men? It wasn't that long ago that the most powerful Republican in the nation did hard penitentiary time for molesting boys. What is it that draws Republicans to become wrestling coaches?

    After 3 years of beta testing and consistently being panned by users, the new owners tried to force it onto users, it went so bad that users staged a boycott to get it rolled back.

    Yes, but Slashdot Beta led directly to the development of the Slashdot app for iOS and Android, which is by far the best way to use this site. The only problem is, you need to get a special code to install it. If you want one, DM me your info and I'l hook you up.

  10. Re: GOOD RIDDANCE TURD on Scott Pruitt Resigns as EPA Administrator (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    The entire state was about the oligarchy of good 'ol boys enriching themselves at everybody else's expense.

    Decades ago, when I finished my undergraduate studies, I was recruited by Phillips Petroleum in Bartlesville. Earning some real money sounded good at the time, so I let them fly me down there to interview. I spent a few days and got a look around and said, "Thanks, but no way." I went back to grad school and it was the best decision I ever made. There are some things that are worth more than money.

  11. Those two were done in by the US military. Military folks have been leaning more and more Republican in recent decades.

    I thought the Deep State was anti-Trump. Were you lying about that all along?

    I like the whole "look at his expensive pens" deal, I don't want the EPA administrator handing a $.50 pen to his worldwide counterparts left over from a job fair.

    I remember when you guys had a fit because Obama put Grey Poupon on a hamburger. And why was Scott Pruitt even dealing with "worldwide counterparts". He was head of the Environmental Protection Agency, not the State Department. Maybe if he'd spent a little less time trying to hook his wife up with a no-work job and a little more time fixing the problem with lead in the drinking water on US domestic military bases, he wouldn't be seen as such a schnorrer.

    So, kindly go fuck yourself

    Anyway, the most fun part of the Pruitt saga was when he would make his underlings book his personal travel expenses and then not reimburse them. The guy wasn't just corrupt, he was corrupt about some of the most petty things imaginable. I'll bet he was taking those $1500 worth of pens and selling them on eBay. He was so corrupt that there should now be a 20-year moratorium on anyone from Oklahoma having a job with the federal government, just to be on the safe side. You know, until we figure out what's going on.

    Self-driving ride-sharing would work for me if I could schedule a ride and then a '78 Trans Am shows up at my door and let's me drive that bitch.

    Other than that, no thanks. Self-driving ride sharing is not for me. I'll leave that to you youngsters, with your technology and blueteeth and lip piercings.

  18. The point is the people you would be fighting aren't going to be as easy as the German Nazis.

    Have you seen the American Right? They're dudes to wear diapers to own the libs. Literally. They're doing paramilitary cosplay in knee pads and KEK shields. And those are the ones of fighting age. The ones who think of themselves as the "real warriors" are PTSD-ridden, oxycontin-addicted burnouts who are more likely to turn their weapons on themselves than to fight off those of us in the majority.

    ONLY 3 million. The Nazis were outnumbered by a much larger margin. Again I remind you the cost for winning against them was great even with those margins.

    As someone else in this thread pointed out, it was really the Communists who defeated the Nazis. They saved American bacon. And they'll do it again.

    Once again you stereotype Trump supporters based on the worst examples you could fine.

    The "worst examples you could fine"? I hope your leadership has better readin' and writin' skills than you, but judging from his tweets, I don't really think so.

  19. This is supposed to be a forum for intelligent people

    Since when?

  20. Yeah, put pajama boy up against some former Delta soldier. Good luck with that fight.

    Except the Republican Party is now renowned mainly for their cowardice.

    You put some oathkeepers on the West Side of Chicago for one night and they'd be the Lost Patrol. Their bones would bleach in the sun.

  21. I love it when the pope talks tough.

    Your mom likes it too. She also likes when I pull her hair.

  22. Except you wouldn't be fighting Nazis this time. You'd be fighting Americans.

    Trump supporters have proven you can be both.

    If you look at any of the white nationalist or Proud Boy or Southern Heritage rallies, they are always outnumbered 100 to 1 by counter protesters. You are badly outnumbered. Even in the 2016 elections, you were outnumbered by 3 MILLION.

    You guys do great against unarmed high school kids or people eating peacefully in a Waffle House, but you wouldn't know what to do against someone who can shoot back.

  23. Me and my AR--15 says come and try.

    This ain't Counter-Strike, son. You've already lost and don't even know it.

  24. Only thing is, you won’t win.
    The red hats have all the guns.

    Back in the 1940s, we fought an army that was better trained and equipped. We beat the Nazis that time, and we'll do it again.

    Anyway, if you think the red hats have all the guns, you've never been to the South Side of Chicago.

  25. Too bad your also

    After we win the Second Civil War, we're going to force all the red hats in the Trump Army to learn how to use apostrophes. If the re-education camps do nothing else but that, they will have been a great success.
