Years ago I knew a guy who lived on the outside edge of a curve in the street. People continually missed the curve and ran their cars up onto his lawn, a few even hit his house.

He wanted to put a concrete barrier in his front yard to prevent this but the lawyers said that if he did then he would be taking on a great deal of liability if someone was injured when they hit that barrier.

So as far as I know people are still misssing that curve and ending up on his lawn.

Strawman: Nobody says there is one cause.

And Trump is right about autism and pregnant women.

The slashdot commissars are active today, I see.

Don't you guys have reddits to moderate?

Gee Santa, why don't people trust journalists any more?

NYT Editor, in an interview on NPR in June 2016: "We have to set aside journalistic objectivity sometimes [the context was about Trump's run for office and how to defeat him]"
No, you really don't.
You're a reporter. You can report the news without interpreting; if it's honestly reported and awful, trust your readers to understand it and draw their conclusions. Your CURRENCY as a reporter is your holding yourself separate from the news you're reporting.

When the national paper of record goes ON RECORD to say that they are picking sides in a political contest, they have forfeited their claim on credibility. They have stated openly that political bias > honesty.

"Back in the day", commercial arcade game machines used anti-tamper mechanics like covering the entire motherboard with epoxy glue, sometimes an inch or more thick.

Based on what?

Seriously - you're assigning it to him because
a) you hate him, and
b) you are mad about this, ...ergo: he is "behind" it somehow.

Do you not see how completely delusional this is?

TSIA.

The sky is falling, the sky is falling. News at 11.
How is that "climate change is going to make hurricanes more frequent" going? Or...didn't you guys change that to "more intense" now? How's that one going?

Whew. I was afraid we *weren't* going to inject politics into every fucking thread.

Why? Why would Trump give the faintest shit where the shuttle is?

Let's look at your reasoning:
"Something happened I don't like. The people who said they did it, who claim to have done it, who asked for it...DIDN'T REALLY DO IT. IT WAS THAT ORANGE BOGEYMAN UNDER MY BED!"
"Can you prove it"
"No, but I CAN IMAGINE IT! See? OBVIOUS."

Get some help, man.

What you call the 'endless stream of right wing media' for the last 40 years ... well first, get your history straight: it started in the 90s with Rush Limbaugh et al AM radio. Not 40 years, more like 30. If you have that basic fact wrong, I assume you're too young to have lived it and are reading it from somewhere.

Fox News started broadcasting in 1996 and really skewed right later (99?) as Right Wing radio (Limbaugh, Beck etc) identified a commercially viable audience that was completely unserved.

Limbaugh and what followed was ABSOLUTELY a reaction to the strongly left bias of the media which became evident with the election of Ronald Reagan, but really was clear during the Senate Confirmation hearing of Justice Bork. Media was always assumed to be at least slightly left (which was accepted) with a weirdo fringe of further leftism mostly around the arts. But in 1980 the Dems thought Nixon's shit had guaranteed them at least 20 years of government control and were incensed that Carter was such a milquetoast that he got humiliated by Reagan, and Mondale even worse.

Nothing makes liberals more angry than to be compelled to face the fact that they're unliked. (cf Trump 2016, Trump 2024 responses and resulting vitriol.) In the 12d after Trump took office in 2016, there were 12000 tweets threatening his life on Twitter (https://mashable.com/article/threatening-posts-secret-service). I mean you guys have tried on him twice already in the 1st 9 months.

I don't really forgive you. You guys thought you owned the world and could do whatever the fuck you wanted - bring in 3 million immigrants and then make them voters? SURE.
Biden *actually* tried to undercut democracy, we don't have to pretend-imagine 'Trump's future concentration camps' or other goofy ideas.

1) based on what? Democrats (ie the LEFT, dumbass) have been behind every college appropriations budget scheme since 1976. Blocked for a long time, are you stupid? Let's look at the last 50 years: (https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2020/jun/25/control-house-and-senate-1900/) 23 congressional sessions x2 houses. 46 opportunities to control one house or the other. Dems control 13/23 in the house, 13/23 of the senate. 9/23 dems control BOTH HOUSE and SENATE vs 7 for GOP. IN return the GOP has the slight advantage in presidential terms (ie...it's been balanced)
2) Yes, of course, colleges are a disaster and it all happened just in the last 9 months. Are you just stupid or are your parents that closely related? Nature or nurture or both?
3) so it's just that you support Hamas too. Cool. Not really refuting my point, tho. I have plenty of objections to Israeli policy but NOT ONE BOMB would have fallen on Gaza if they didn't attack Oct 7.
4) Nope, nazis don't get to speak. Nor conservatives. Nor Jews. Did you miss how 2020-2024 all of social media was basically just doing what Biden's gov't wanted?
5) oh, so racism is fine as long as it's paying people back for shit they (themselves) didn't do? So...when does it end? What's the PRECISE metric that means we can stop judging people by race, sex, etc? When there's a black president? When a majority of the people going to college are female? You idiot, racism IS RACISM, pure and simple.

The only reason you're angry now is that the police state of leftism that was built during covid is being dismantled.

When their main industry seems to be allowing immigrants to come as fast as they can, stay as long as they like, and then genuflect the entire rule of law to the immigrants...Britain is done.

You can wave any sexual-orientation flag. - protected
You can wave the Hamas flag. - protected
You get arrested for waving the British flag.

^that's insanity.

Does anyone believe "... reduce the operating system's footprint... " matters even slightly to MS?

So what's the real reason here? Users had too much access/control?

... The very concept that an adult needs a warning before being conditioned by something uncomfortable is *fundamentally asinine*.

If it's something that shouldn't be engaged with by children, then it's what we used to call "adult content" and we don't let young people consume it.
