I agree about Hillary and her corrupt money, but do you really believe labor unions are "Marxist"? You're too big be that stupid.

collect my resume and my salary

What happens if you don't give them your salary? I've never, ever given a prospective employer my current salary. But my prospective employer days are behind me. Maybe things have changed and this is de rigueur now.

Basically, the thing may well work, but if it does work, it's very unlikely that the explanation that its inventor has provided is legitimate.

If it works, then the explanation the inventor provided is irrelevant. Someone else will come up with a better explanation. I doubt anyone would say, "we shouldn't continue testing this EM engine thingy because we don't know why it works."

Sometimes, it's better to be lucky than good, you know?

You guys didn't believe me when I said that Friday night is "MRA Clickbait Night" on Slashdot.

And here it is, right on time. Every Friday night since I noticed the pattern back in December, like clockwork. Sometimes the article is fer it, and sometimes it's agin' it but it always brings out the most charming fellows and their insightful opinions that "Bitches, man. They're spoiling everything.".

Slashdot really knows its audience, I'll give it that.

Is that enough?

No that's not enough! I need to know what Penn and Teller say about this or no dice.

I really need one of those for my car ASAP.

Forget the car. I'm packing for Alpha Centauri. By the way, anyone know what the weather is in Alpha Centauri? I mean, will I need a sweater?

Hint: there's a very, very good reason why it is not in a peer-reviewed journal.

And what is that reason?

The creationists must have done good work in america to destroy the "faith" in science!

That's not it so much as the fact that pop science "skeptics" don't believe something works until Neil Degrasse Tyson and James Randi say it works.

There is nothing scientific about pop skepticism. It's entirely about hero worship and being a dick.

I prefer Penn and Teller. Much more entertaining.

Yes, by all means bring them in to see whether or not the EM drive actually works. Because libertarian douchebags are notoriously expert at everything, especially physics and astronautics. Just ask them.

it seems a/etheletes are cheating

Why should they be any different than regular athletes?

As dismal as Psychology's record is as a science, it's still way more rigorous and evidence-based than Economics.

I grew up a few blocks from a large mental institution, and many of my classmates' parents worked there.

You mean they said they worked there.

According to the White House National Economic Council’s director Jeff Zients, tech giants including Apple have shown their interest in the project and have already donated over $100mn in reading devices to lower-income schools.

It's not the government buying ebook readers, it's Apple.

The story is about free ebooks, knucklehead.

Yes, that rule has been in place since 1990, but it's now being completely ignored by the SuperPACs due to Citizens United. In 2012, the Scott Walker campaign for governor of Wisconsin took in $2.6 million from SuperPACs.

Right now, you have all campaign finance laws being flouted because the SuperPACs smell blood in the water due to Citizens United and the 5-4 breakdown of the Supreme Court. Do you remember when the Supreme Court told Montana that they were not allowed to have any laws limiting campaign contributions from SuperPACs?

Well just to state the obvious, the benefit of less federal government and the power reverting to the states is that you, the voter, have more power to influence elections.

Except you don't. Big money took over state elections at least 15 years ago.

Before you are allowed to get to know a new candidate, they have already been through the "money primary" where rich guys have decided that the candidate is appropriately sensitive to their needs. By the time you know their names, you've already been shut out of the process. You get to choose between the corporatist in column A or the corporatist in column B.

As I've said, starting a few cycles ago, SuperPACs have been involved down to the local school board elections.
