This is NOT how regulations are supposed to work. Lawsuits are supposed to be the last resort, and the usually come from a government agency which is too overburdened to create lawsuits on a whim.
Well, well. Regulations and rules being used in ways they weren't intended to be used. You might be onto a systemic problem there...
But clearly not an issue when we have loosely-defined ideas like "race", "gender-expression", "hate speech", "safe zones", etc. I mean really, what could go wrong? Could an entire generation of lawyers go around looking for things to become offended by? No way! That's crazy talk!
So here's the point, you can go from nearly zero armed to EXACTLY zero chances of survival. I believe everyone has the right to prepare their personal defense in whatever way they see fit.
Seriously this article makes it sound like life just after a devastating conflict is better than economic prosperity because most people are equally poor.
I imagine you might think that if you didn't read the article.
You could also read it as, "Why bother? The rich will protect their position and only Armageddon will flatten things out." Still the conclusion is the same, BS. The real question is, "Why is our society moving wealth into the hands of fewer and fewer? And "What can we do to make it more equitable?". Jaron Lanier covers this well in "Who Owns the Future?"
That's how the electional college works. And, BTW if Hillary would have even be able to hold on to traditionally blue states, she would have started thw night with 246 electoral votes. So go ahead abolish it.
I was badly sunburned as a kid on vacation in Florida. My grandma cut off an aloe plant leaf, split it open and rubbed it all over my shoulders. Worked like a champ and no more pain. The shit from the drugstore never works.
Ever noticed how there has to be a new term for new enemy? Milo (supposedly alt-right) is gay Jew that fawns over black men. Soooo, not too neo-nazi to my ears. At what point do you simply hold a different point of view to the established norms? The traditional media got caught flat footed in the election and so it MUST be some nefarious group. How about people just aren't b uying the bullshit anymore?
I call it honoring free speech. You're free to be be as asinine as you want to be. The problem is someone out there thinks your speech is asinine, which is why you want to tolerate it.
Could be, if you were an hot house flower, emotionally stunted shut-in to whom the very idea of not getting your way causes you fly into a rage so intense as to try to send your parents, who sacrificed and raised you for 18+ years to prison.
If she's 19, yes. If they were taken when she she was a toddler, then i would say her emotional state hasn't evolved much since then, and no, grow the fuck up.
Isn't this the story of most millenials? Except usually, there is a claim of membership in a designated victim group on the way down to the puddle of diarrhea and tears.
I just left a travelling consulting position after 9 years, and the grind of travel was a major part of my reason for leaving. I have said the same thing for years: super-expensive, dealing with McIdiots, being irradiated, and no significant benefit to anyone except terrorists who now have a convenient corral of unarmed people to victimize. Why the f*ck are we paying for this again?
Boo fucking hoo. No one asks to be born, and if your parents are dicks, we'll that's the hand you're delt. Spend 1/2 as much effort bettering yourself as you do bitching, and you'll be fine.
Even for those Gen-X there was still that mythical job in the mail-room where you got to deliver mail to all the different groups and higher-ups and be able to make a personal connection to them, as well gaining experience on how the company operated. Allowing you to get promoted to different jobs and units.
I actually take pride in the inverse (old computer, not small dick). I have an AMD dual core 1.8 GHZ that I keep upgrading with new vid cards (ATI 7600 Series) and I have 1TB USB Drive, and two 24" monitors. I bought it originally HP Pavilion 6500e back in 2006 and have only now started to build my next one. Originally coast me $600. I have probably put another $400 into it over the years. Runs Linux Mint like a champ, and lets me do everything I need to do, including developing Java applications.
As an X'er, my observation is that Millenials are at a disadvantage because of much of the competitive training that I got as a child, was lacking in their upbringing. Competition when I was growing up, was celebrated, grades were there to see how you compared to your peers, I wrestled, and played football. Parents took pride in producing a "strong" (read resilient) young person. They didn't try to save us from every bruise and scrape (300 stitches before 12 yrs old). And my Mom used to tell me to be back home in the Summer by the time the streetlights came on.
Now, I know I sound like an old codger waxing nostalgic, but we were expected to make it on our own, so we do. No one owes anyone crap in this life, you have to go get it. However that lesson is achieved, it seems like a generation may have missed that message.

Very Proudly. Mine are among them. I have 3. They aren't constantly marketed to. Well worth the $20/season, or the monthly on NF.

Psychological Egoism + Game Theory = ?
Could it be... the root of many evils?

Yeah, free speech constitutionalism, actual equality of opportunity. What the actual fuck?
Yeah he's such a dood he has put more whistle-blowers in prison and killed more IS citizens without trial than any other President. Rock on Bro!

Wow. I haven't seen overtly racist troll in a long time. It's like seeing a live Dinosaur.
Can they make water? Because they get from Arizona.

And that conveniently stifles free speech also.

Income inequality is a reflection of sellable skills inequality.
Is it globalization or automation?

Just my $.02. YMMV.
So funny to see moral advice from a book with slavery, incest and murder by the heroes. Thanks for the update from the weirdo frontier.
Dude, you HAVE to stop listening to Alex Jones.
