It will serve as a gateway drug to Amazon Prime. Much like how the ad supported free version of Spotify is a gateway drug to the paid subscription service.
One has to ask though why there are Amazon stick's now when Prime has apps on all the popular smart TV OS's? Even TCL has the full proper Android TV now.
I have been pretty happy with Xiaomi phones because there is such a simple process to unlock the bootloader. As for custom ROM's, what is everyone else using these days?
Australia is incredibly capitalist, it just has gun laws against automatic weapons. As for Venezuela, it's transforming into a totalitarian state and the people have no means to defend themselves against a murderous tyrant in Maduro, this is exactly why Americans don't want to give up their guns. This is exactly why the second amendment was written.
No, that's social liberalism. Socialism is a state run economy like Venezuela or Zimbabwe, a kind of Communist-lite where small businesses are allowed to exist but not thrive. Communism goes one step further by abolishing private ownership. The DSA understand this even if Bernie doesn't, which is why the head of the DSA penned an article under the heading "Communism is good".
This is why the socialists turned on Bernie, he wasn't extreme enough because they realised that Bernie wasn't really one of them.
You confuse free speech with right to be heard which does not exist
You can say what you want but nobody has to listen to you. Nobody is prevented from speaking because some people are better equipped to send their message better than others.
Yes it has nothing to do with rural voters, it's to do with states. It's designed so the likes of New York and California don't decide the election for everybody. It's about giving all 50 states a say.
Now you may not like that, and there are good reasons to change it. But weather something is legitimate or illegitimate is not a matter of what is the best policy.
The EC is what officially decides the election therefore it is the only legitimate process unless the people choose to change it, and there is only ever appetite for change on the side that loses. The country is never united in actual change. Then you need to decide on what change.
Some want the Presidential Election to be a nation wide first past the post, some what to move all states to proportional like Maine and Nebraska, some think a Westminster style system where local reps become an elector. There are many ways you can skin this cat.
But remember we are 50 states, a situation where California and New York holding all the power is ripe for secession and civil war in the other states which is why I oppose nation wide first past the post.
If it's going to change I personally am in favour of keeping the electoral college but move away from winner take all: make it proportional and make it preferential so you can select preferences like Australia. This could help 3rd parties get votes.
But unless the Constitution is changed, the current system is the only legitimate way of deciding a President.
but Trump did not legitimately win (electoral college).
Yeah, the electoral collage is the legitimate deciding factor. The only one.
Progressives are going to have a caucus in Congress
Yeah they dont seem to be doing to well. Marxists are not good at bringing in votes, neither are the Corparate Democrats. Its the Blue Dogs which Bill was, which JFK was, but they have been chased away buy the Corps and the Marxists, which is why Trump won and even the mainstream media have given up on any blue wave. Without the Blue Dogs, the Democrats have a hard time pivoting to the centre where elections are decided.
Wikileaks showed a political bias in the election that should trouble you. It shows that they got played as well.
Yeah the right said the same thing when Republicans got exposed. Its always bias when your own side is the one caught wrongdoing.
Trump won because he faced the only candidate even more incompetent than he was.
If everyone had different boundaries and limits, nobody would actually be for free speech. Because once you place any boundary or limit on speech it is by definition not free, it becomes restricted speech.
Can someone fix the spelling for Qantas?
And before anyone says "u" always comes after "q", it's because it was actually an acronym: Queensland And Northern Territory Ariel Services
The question is, is what Comey did illegal too? What was the security classifications of the emails he used from his personal account? Not a rhetorical question I'm looking for the answer? I consider CNN too full of left wing bias and consider Fox too far right wing bias so I don't trust the mainstream media on either side.
Despite I do like the Xbox controller alot better, Sony do have the better UI precisely because of this. If there was a way to automatically go to the pinned games "blade" of the console I would be much happier.
Yeah I was going to say, I have 3 screens and all have different wallpapers. Virtual desktops: funny I never even noticed they were gone. I used to use them alot when I was a teen (hiding pornography at a moments notice they came in VERY useful).
I wouldn't even "turn it off" for the EU, just close all your offices in the EU, pull back to America and give the middle finger to the EU when they argue for compliance, just say "nope, we are an American company, we comply with US law alone, you have zero jurisdiction over us, if you want to implement a China like firewall to block us that's on you but we won't help you censor your own people"
The people paying the high taxes posses off the people that have to pay them. That's why they are leaving. The water restrictions you just linked further proves my point because California can't even afford to build new dams to support the migrant influx! Why do you think the likes of Chevrolet & Toyota moved to Texas! Why California's top burger franchise Carl Jr's is now based out of Tennessee! The middle class exodus from California since 2008 has been estimated in the hundreds of thousands, and businesses (including small businesses) in the tens of thousands. High taxes are not reasonable, taking money from people who earned it and giving it to people that didn't is not reasonable. Telling people you can't use water to do things that require water is not reasonable.
When you try to get more tax money out of people that can afford to move, they will move which means you get no tax money from them, this is why socialist regimes always go broke. That is happening in real time in California.
Maybe it's time to support the California secession movement, let it break off and turn into Venezuela, but geographically most of the state is red and would rather break off from San Francisco and LA than leave the Union.
Actually wages have been doing up. At least in places outside of California, where high taxes and regulation has seen businesses and the middle class flee to places like Arizona, Texas and Nevada where the middle class are prospering. Combined with high immigration that keep unskilled labour wages low. All those factors contribute to California's stagnant economy & widening divide between rich and poor I hear New York is in a similar situation but I can't speak with certainty there.
Drinking alcohol is not a legal right. A constitutional amendment was required because it was the states because until then only the states had that sort of power.
The second amendment is very clear, and the Supreme court is very clear that military grade firearms is a legal right federally. The only gun that the Supreme Court has rejected civilians have a right to was a sawn off shotgun and the ruling was very clear that it was because it served no use in a war scenario. The second amendment was intended to give rebels a fighting chance in a civil war in case the government turned tyrannical.
If you ever want to understand the ideology of the Bill of Rights, the Deceleration of Independence and the first few amendments, it was around a paranoia of Government abuse. Remember that the tyranny of the British crown was a very recent thing back then.
The age discrepency hasn't faced a Supreme Court challenge yet, there is a good chance it's unconstitutional. The home room teachers dont have 200 students, more like 30. Its more to do with current teachers dont have the power to do anything because of PC lefty shit.

bing has an email prefix? I remember the days of hotmail, msn, live and outlook but now bing?

I have always found KDE very flexible.

MediaMatters isn't even a propaganda wing of the normal Democrats (corporate Democrats, blue dogs, etc), but the Justice Democrats wing.
Last time I checked, nobody disputed anything Edward Snowden ever said was wrong, just that the way he blew the whistle was illegal.
Spiders are only pure evil in Australia. Everywhere else they are an annoyance at best
Airbus are introducing beds on newer aircrafts. For things like a 4 hour flight its silly but for 12+ hour flights I wouldn't travel any other way.
