What the fuck does this have to do with "women in tech"?

This is Pakistan. Challenge the authority of the religious, tribal and/or self-appointed leaders and violence occurs. Being a woman has fuck all to do with it. Being in tech has fuck all to do with it.

It's a stupid violent place.

More men too, or don't they count? Oh, it's a domestic violence statistic. Of course they don't.

Meanwhile it's a rare day that more Muslims are violently killed than total deaths at the World Trade Center on September 11th 2001, but it has happened. It's an rarer month when there aren't.

As the post to which you replied suggested, if only we could identify the common cause here.

Comment I use professionals (Score 1) 649

Even for something as straightforward as getting new tyres fitted, I just pay the professionals.

Sure, it's more expensive than doing it myself. But it gets done better, and it's not sufficiently more expensive to justify the grief and hassle of doing it myself.

Of course, they don't always get it right: Last week the two new tyres I had fitted were put onto the front wheels of my car, not the rear.

I didn't even look at the wheels, just noticed there was vibration at high speed. So I took the car back to the garage today, they spotted the issue, realised they'd thrown away my otherwise good front tyres, and as a result I now have the new tyres on the rear wheels as required, and a new pair of tyres on the front wheels too at no charge.

Good customer service, and worked out far cheaper than doing my own tyres, even though I'd have replaced the right ones to start with.

Do you have any evidence at all that the extradition request received by the UK was not received through the appropriate channels, with the appropriate sign-off from the authorised Swedish signatories?

Just that, if the request was received in accordance with the agreed protocol then it's valid, and must be treated as such.

Whether or not the Swedes behaved correctly prior to following those protocols is not something the UK can determine, and extraditing Assange does not prevent him from contesting Swedish process to get his case dismissed there.

Arresting Assange for breach of his bail conditions and extraditing him would not constitute an illegal arrest in the UK. Now fuck off you ignorant cunt.

Well fuck you and your total disregard for a fair trial.

Assange is in breach of bail conditions that are not considered excessively onerous, undue or demeaning. He's broken the law by failing to comply with those conditions.

It would compromise his right to a fair trial were he to speak beforehand with a judge that might preside over it. It would also compromise the public's right to a fair trial.

He's breached bail conditions in the UK. That makes him a fugitive from justice in the UK.

Whether he's committed a crime in another country is totally fucking irrelevant.

The judges can't listen to him because it would compromise their integrity - the absolute fucking opposite reason of your alleged moral corruption.

This isn't even fucking complicated, you're just skipping past the obvious in a blind frenzy to defend Assange.
