I'm not sure what your point is. The crimes were allegedly committed that August, the two women went to the authorities to ask about a compulsory STD test in August, and the investigation by the Swedish authorities of suspected rape be

Uninstalling and hiding that update only works until MS releases a new version of it, at which point Windows will unhide it and reinstall. It's not a solution.

Any company that installs adware on an operating system you paid for [1], and even forcibly reinstalls it after you remove it and block it, clearly doesn't give a shit about user experience or your privacy. Some Linux distros will also

You shouldn't be getting downvoted - you're right. Doubling your speed against a brick wall quadruples the energy involved in the collision, but two equivalent objects colliding at the original speed only doubles it. If they have

They do pay for that, but in the US in particular it seems like the premium is quite high. I disagree with the conservative position that government in general is grossly inefficient and the smaller the better, etc., however for the US go

"Late" capitalism, which is to say, capitalism that has been around for a while, mostly is crony capitalism. There is a feedback loop between capitalism and democracy (and probably most other forms of government), a consequence

SJW is not usually thrown around at "any feminist" without justification. I think the most broadly you'll ever see it applied is toward all third-wave feminists, but even that is pretty rare. Whenever I see it used, it is dir
