Lead as a pollutant? Maybe. But that was yesterday's EPA. Today's calls CO2 one. I call EPA unrestrained, unscientific extremists. The fusion of climate science with leftist ideology is a great tragedy of the last 30 years. The end of life on earth will come when tectonics have ceased, volcanism slows to nothing, and CO2 is gradually bound to carbonates in the oceans. Photosynthesis becomes impossible, severing the food chain. About 10^9 years. Enjoy CO2 while we have it.

Yeah, you wouldn't want EPA regulations made from 'settled science' with full transparency. That wouldn't be in these activist's style. Obama went rogue long ago.

'We devils should', not 'us devils should'. The way you know is you say 'we should' and not 'us should'.

Perhaps his language background is in Eubonics, and it just got lost in translation?

My first thoughts are "DUH"...

I mean, it is (or at least should be) common sense that people tend to relate to and help/associate with other beings that are more like them.

This is just basically innate behavior of humans. Why is anyone shocked at this? If you don't actually KNOW a either of two strangers you might be presented with, you're first reaction is likely to feel more at ease and more trusting of the person that visually resembles you the most.

When did political correctness overrule common sense and things we've known about human behavior since pretty much the dawn of time?

What the hell is "Doxxes"?

Never heard that term before....?

Yep.

This is yet another reason not to be on FaceBook.

Don't post a ton of shit about your life online, and there will therefore be less material available for YOUR future loser edit.

That's her campaign slogan.

The problem with "Hide the scissors" is that the scissors are still there. Right under the seat, pointy-end up! The user, even (or especially) the non-tech one is much better off seeing the damn things.

As I've said before, if he's really this stand up guy, why did he run? IF he really had good and legal reasons to do what he did, take it to court and face the music.

I know, right? Like how the Sons of Liberty didn't disguise themselves as Indians before dumping a load of tea into Boston Harbor, and then when done, turned themselves in to the nearest British garrison? We need more heroes like those fine, upstanding, nametag-wearing gentlemen.


if you break the law to make your point that the law is unjust you should stand ready to be arrested, imprisoned and tried in court for what you choose to do.

"Ready to be" doesn't mean adopting a Gump level of naivete and making it easy for the government to remove you from the public view. By him fleeing the country (and seeking asylum in a country we traditionally mock for their lack of an open and fair government, no less), we continue to discuss Snowden's actions years later. If he had stuck around, we would all have forgotten about him as soon as the next weekly scandal distracted the media.

I admittedly don't usually look at the submitter. If the FP gets my attention, I'll click through to read the rest of the submission, and, maybe, even TFAs where appropriate.

In Bennett's case, I have to admit he has become a truly master-level troll, in that he has learned to write an opening paragraph that gets my attention but doesn't give away his essential Bennett-ness. By the third paragraph, though, I usually catch on, stop reading there, and just write the obligatory "fuck Bennett" post.

I'll be happier with private companies like Google than governments.

If I get tired of a business like Google, I quit using it.

Kinda hard to quit a government that can take your freedom and life away from you if you get pissed at them....at least hard in the short run.

Didn't one of the candidates run on Change? Whatever happened to that guy?

You make it sound like having a non-stupid, modern string class is a monstrosity that needs 16 cores to run.

You can split a string in any language. If you want to write in C++, write in C++. If you want to write in VB.Net, write in VB.Net.

C++ doesn't need to look like VB.Net just because you don't like the syntax.

Slashdot: News from Reddit, Bennett's Blog.

I think the secret to the success of this and future Kickstarters, is to use someone in the video promo with an Australian accent.

I believe that is what seals the deal on these things raising large sums of money!!
