Bring it to the US - we'll give it a whole new lease on life...

It's especially "fun" when you are the "black sheep" of the family, but it turns out that you're actually the only white sheep and they've been lying to you (and/or themselves) all your life.

I’m sure many of my left-leaning readers will say, “This is obvious, we have been talking about it for YEARS!” Yes, many of you have; but you were using language of emotion (“Pay a living wage!”) rather than showing the math. My bad for not paying closer attention; your bad for not showing your work or coming up with workable solutions. Let’s rectify it rather than cast blame.

Yeah, no. How convenient you wanna do that when there's no way to avoid the shit that has been given to the other side for-fucking-ever.

Mine would look like the bridge from Star Trek.

You mean that's not what Jesus would do?

Even better, they used to be a "useful idiot" to someone - now they're just another idiot useless to everybody.

I guarantee it won't take three years, nor will it be anywhere near the low end. Odds are it will begin in earnest once the lying thieves are voted out of office, and those trying to clean up the mess will take the fall for what the thieves have done to the economy. So, the "middle of the road" flip-flopping morons who don't understand that - nor care to - will eventually switch back to voting for the lying manipulators who tell them what they want to hear, and "look, see! The others are terrible at keeping the economy going!"

I'm SO fucking sick of people.

Outside the Ten Commandments (supposedly), the Bible was written entirely by fallible humans - these assholes keep forgetting that part & act like it's 100% perfect (which we know it's not simply by its own self-contradictions).

Already have. Continued existence is mainly just for the benefit of the spouse who actually has things worse than I.

I wanna see Linus' reaction to that pull request.

Unfortunately when republicans find out we are spending money fighting disease in other countries, they think why help them?

That's the problem - they don't think, but instead react according to their lifelong programming from bullying. They've been trained by their masters since childhood not to reason anything out beyond the shortest path to one of a set of predefined conclusions. It's so instinctive by the time they're adults (teens, really) that they have absolutely no clue it's what they're actually doing deep down.

They had to be the kind of person to want to fuck everybody else over first - school just showed them how to accomplish their goals if they were selfish & driven enough to do so.

Such snowflakes.

Apply principles of common sense and decency.

If they had that within them, then this admin wouldn't have done even half the shit it has. They're bullies, and there's never a point at which they'll ever be satisfied enough to stop bullying.

If he's the type to rise to boss, then he isn't likely to be the type to kill himself. He'd know that, and probably think NOT hiring himself would only make him stronger in the long run.

Then you came to the cloud to express this shower thought.

I'm so disappointed nobody pointed out how badly this question sucks.

The true measure of your worth: do you prefer amber, green, or true B&W?

128kbps files are roughly 90% compression from raw, so not comparable. I'll admit that I haven't bothered with FLAC much, but in my limited experience it generally is pretty rare to see much above 50-55% compression from raw.

Not really - real ones don't actually care about justice anywhere near as much as the TV ones do.
