I swear to FSM, if vampires turn out to be real, I'm absolutely finding someone to turn me. I know there's a 99.9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999% chance they're not...but I can hope!

So, you're saying that they've invented True Blood? Then we should expect to see vampires "coming out of the coffin" in a few years.... I can't wait!

True, but most of them also don't want to do the things necessary to NOT be poor (put off enjoying pleasures today for a better quality of life years down the line, work hard in school as a kid so that you can get scholarships and have a good career 10 years later, etc). Everyone's life is a result of the choices that they make. So while they might not want to be poor, their choices have certainly led them there. I say this as someone who grew up poor and had to work full time while taking out a shit ton of loans to get through college and grad school. I spent years working in shitty hourly jobs such as fast food and retail and I can assure you, the lifers there have no desire to put out the effort to achieve anything better - sure, they want the money / nice things of having a better job, but they don't want to put out the effort to obtain that better job.

One program that no one has heard of versus countless anti-male programs with celebrities / billionaires / politicians supporting it and every "news" organization praising it. Yup, totally the same thing.

How would you like to make $1,000 to $5,000 per day?

According to blacks / feminists, that's because putting out effort and working for something is a PRIVILEGE, so you're "privileged" by being discriminated against. Yeah, no one with a functioning brain understands their "logic".

Ah yes, more class-warfare "everyone (but the elite) should be equally poor" bullshit from the toilet paper called the New York Times. This is my surprised face.

"Informal opportunities" meaning "boys actually want to learn about computers and try new things". Don't punish boys for having interests that are different from girls.

Yeah, no. This would be akin to you going to a soup kitchen in a poor black community and saying that no men are allowed inside because only low income women deserve free food.

TIL expecting to not be discriminated against because of your gender is "insanity".

As a gamer, I absolutely want Windows 10 for DirectX12. I'm curious, other than the usual "I'm afraid of change", why do you not want Windows 10?

Just because they occasionally fail at their "job" doesn't mean that they aren't doing it. Hell, even on Fox News they pick their "chosen one" before the primaries and will do everything that they can to ensure that their preferred candidate wins (see how they did everything they could to pretend Ron Paul didn't exist and they're already doing the same thing with Rand Paul).

Exactly. Money doesn't win elections, the media does. They pick the winner and they will make damn sure that all coverage will be as biased as possible to ensure that their chosen candidate wins.

Few things are more American than ignoring bad laws. Hell, that's how this country was founded - by refusing to follow bad laws. Uber / Lyft / other ride-sharing services provide a better service at a better price than taxi companies. Taxi companies could choose to offer better maintained vehicles, more polite drivers, lower fares, etc - but instead they'd rather try and sue their competitors out of business than actually compete.

My assigned free-speech zone is the shooting range. I find that the two compliment each other well and both terrify politicians with dreams of unlimited power.
