Agreed. What is the "First Order", what is their goal, and why do they hate the resistance so much? Where do they get the funds to build their massive armies and fleets?

The Empire we understood. It was the massive galactic military government and they wanted to quell any rebellion.

There are also custom roms that can be maintained open source and provided by the community. That's why I can still run the latest version of Android on my old OnePlus One. Good luck with that custom ROM of the latest iOS on your old iPhone.

You're right. The evidence is that primates have been most successful in warmer and wetter climates that is predicted to be the effect of the climate change we are all having a panic attack about.

Man, that still hurts me... Such a great game ruined by Sony Online Entertainment.

Lineage is great and I'm not sure what the OP meant with regards to batteries being hard to find... I managed to get a OnePlus One battery replacement and there were plenty of options for it. And with Lineage, I am able to run the latest Android versions and can even play Wizards Unite on a 5 year old phone (albeit slowly).

Yep, Apple is shooting themselves in the foot and alienating loyal customers. My wife loved her iPhones and I could never convince her to get an Android until her iPhone 7 kept losing wireless connections intermittently and it was a known issue that Apple admitted to. But when she took it into the authorized shop for a free repair, it would work at least some of the time and so they wouldn't repair it. She now uses it wifi only as a second phone to her primary Pixel 3. I don't know if she'll ever go back to an iPhone as the primary.

I ordered a transmission jack for $70 with free shipping. It weighed about 80 lbs and came in a wooden crate. I was impressed the delivery was brought all the way up to my garage door at the top of a hill. How they can even ship that amount of weight for that cost let alone manufacture something is beyond me.

You're right. And if there were no consequences of stopping CO2 emissions to prevent a possible negative outcome, I'm sure it would be easy to convince people to do it. Unfortunately for you there are guaranteed and known negative effects of stopping CO2 emissions today to prevent a maybe negative effect in the future. That's a bit harder of a sell...

But hey, since you are convinced that stopping CO2 is the safest option, I can only assume you are holding your breath, buy no gasoline or natural gas, and generate all your electricity on solar panels that you carried on your back from China.

Or you know, NYT opinion columnists... https://www.nytimes.com/2019/0...

And I know a few liberals who advocate for it as well. But I guess if your straw man is accusing other people of using straw man arguments... Keep stuffing brother.

I don't know how they would do that. I also don't know how they manage to walk thousands of miles through inhospitable conditions in a foreign country with no documentation. They have a shitty life with shitty options. But there are literally a billion people on the planet who have shitty lives with shitty options. That doesn't make an asylum claim. These migrants should get legal assistance and be let in just because they are fortunate enough to be able to walk here? What about all the shitty governments and crime in Africa and Asia? Countries like Italy refuse to let them in.

It all comes down to what are American citizens responsible for? Are we responsible for providing legal assistance to non-citizens to obtain entry into our country? Who is eligible for that assistance? Anyone who can walk here or pay to have someone smuggle them here? Having policies like that is what encourages people to just keep showing up with no plan and expect to be taken care of. How about we make some reasonable and clear rules, make those rules known, and then enforce those rules? Nah, better to have outdated, complex, and unreasonable rules and then ignore them for decades and just let people wander around the border and into the country without any documentation and then make it illegal to later ask them if they are citizens.

I will say that most of the opponents of Trump don't want to fix the immigration system either... A lot of them openly admit they want completely open borders and even one world government... They are against the wall regardless of it the wall still allows legal entry. They have no real plan for fixing the problems of the system, they just want people to be let in and go undocumented. They think it's racist to ask if you're a citizen in the census.

Personally, I think the wall will be useless and a waste of government money. I think immigration should be quick, easy, but limited in numbers and not a free for all for whatever countries happen to have land access. And asylum is a poor claim for why these migrants should be let in. I'm all for asylum being an option, but asylum claims should be based on prepared evidence on the behalf of the claimant prior to arrival and not be relying on us providing free legal assistance generating a legal asylum claim after they have already crossed the border.

Not to feed this troll ranting... But as much as I disagree with most of what Trump does AND says, calling the border camps concentration camps is akin to calling prisons concentration camps. Yes, there are a lot of people there and yes the conditions are poor. But equating it with Nazi "Concentration Camps" is 1) insulting to people who were at actual Nazi Concentration Camps, 2) ignorant of the history of Nazi Concentration Camps, and/or 3) deliberately misusing language to achieve a political goal.

Nazi camps are where citizens of the country were forcibly removed from their homes, intentionally abused, and then murdered.

Border camps are where migrants from another country (mostly not the adjacent country either) are being temporarily held while we figure out what to do with them. They all came to this country of their own volition and without preparation for how to obtain legal entry into the country. I'd imagine they are free to return to their home countries if they so choose at any time. I imagine if another country wanted to accept them, they would be allowed to leave to that country as well.

Now the conditions in these camps is not acceptable and that needs to be addressed, but it's not like the US military is going to central american countries and rounding up people to lock them in these camps...

They were all in the cabal to spend vast amounts of government money that didn't exist until they printed it. And Trump is in it too...

This example is wholly compatible with a libertarian paradise. It is voluntary, individual driven, and doesn't seek to eliminate competition. Just because it is funded by donations rather than regular billing doesn't mean it's socialist. There is nothing wrong with collective action not for profit in capitalism.

If this were socialist, it would be the government providing the service for "free" but paid for with involuntary tax dollars.

Wizards Unite dropped yesterday. Got me to stop playing Pokemon Go.
