She also handed over Outlook database files on a thumb drive to her lawyer, so it's hard to argue that this whole process was somehow necessary.

Before the machines, just as many humans still had to do that crappy work, they were just a smaller percentage of all the workers. That part didn't make any sense to me. I know this is naive, but maybe with the net cost savings of usin

The Google Headlines on my new Android phone is basically a mechanism for seeding emotional contagion and topic sharing at work, home, etc. This should not be underestimated. What happens when you push a particular site's article about

It used to be I ran Linux and was unhappy that it didn't cover 100% of the functionality I could get in Windows. then they started approaching parity and I came to terms with not being able to do everything. Now I run OpenBSD on my lap

All church services and used car sales near me, haha. So, is there any way to get the exact geotagging location, or is this obscured by Youtube?

I'm not arguing it's moral, I'm arguing that you should only as a policy prosecute people on your own side of a war if such a policy wouldn't make your chances of winning worse. Because if you lose, your morals are worth

Not prosecuting your own side after the end of the war is a good policy since you're trying to maximize your psychological potential of success at winning the war in the first place. The cloud hanging over your head at thinking you mig

Greenwald didn't do that though, as far as I can see. He even said that in the case of the woman, while it may appear she is a terrible hypocrite, circumstances of people's lives are complex. Contrast this with Dan Savage writing

It's vague, it's expansive, its informal usage is frequently conflated with its legal usage. And all this is a feature of the term, not a bug.

I love the commenters describing it as being like a scene from Bonfire of the Vanities or serving Egyptian pharaohs. Speaking from experience, there are plenty of poor people that are at least as aloof, entitled and rude to service staff as

I want code signing, TPM, and secure boot. I just want it to be exclusively under my control. CPUID, this could be useful for business asset management.

The choke point seemed to me to be that they end up notifying you of it via...twitter. You can go to their site and still see deleted tweets. If you weren't putting them back up on Twitter, you could easily monitor politician tweets an

There's no controversy, it's just an affection of the writer. They mention further down that there may be film purists who insist that movies are only correctly made and preserved in celluloid, but that luckily there's a &quo

The success of Blockbuster video may have in part been due to its cleanliness, but from my experience it was because your mom 'n pop shop would have two copies of a new blockbuster movie so you'd never get to see it, and Blockbust

When you get down to the meat of the article, all it has is 1) an anecdote about how some Indonesian tribe has special ways of communicating earthquakes, extrapolated to a claim that "indigenous knowledge has a lot to offer the scienti

Consider also though that truck drivers are the most thoroughly and professionally trained and strictly licensed drivers on the roads.

Trucks offer vertical integration. You get to a certain size, you own your own trucks. Can't do that with rail, you're always under the thumb of the rail companies.

You joke, but for years now certain corners have been trying to open it up so so that Mexican trucks/drivers to operate in the USA.

of course, everyone knows that it's a problem that white people get shot by cops too. But bringing it up frustrates the white American liberal because they can't get truly mad about police shooting unless it disproportionally affe

This is pretty close to the same as Donald Sterling's opinion on black people, and outed gay Republicans who voted against gay equality. Even if the outing was unethical, you can't un-pull the trigger on this being public knowledg

Presumably, since up further in the CoC you're expected to be welcoming to people of all races/sexes, you can't treat white people like crap. This technically wouldn't be "reverse racism", but should still be p

My issue is that if you dug through all the claims you found the ones OP was talking about and thought "this isn't actually implausible" and if you go a step further and check some sources, it's not for certain but there

I am not a fan of the term "toxic masculinity" because in the way it is invoked it usually means "all masculinity" (I don't subscribe to that model.) But, I believe that the idea that all men are irredeemable sexual

Some modern values, when applied universally, facilitate division. Churches reject these values and so have better natural survival rates. Those values are free inquiry and inclusion. In churches, there are large sets of beliefs that are ax

He's insinuating that a father that is too close to his daughter would be perceived as a pedophile by women who believe that all men are potential victimizers of women. That perception does exist, I personally experienced it at a park

For your point to make sense you'd have to believe that people ganged up on Eich because of the epithet "homophobe" and not because of the actions that led to that epithet being applied to him in the first place.

It had been brewing a while, in my opinion. What I was seeing happening was, reasonable people would point out flaws in the article, then a moderator would jump in and argue with the person like they were a child and their points were stupi
