Comment Re:Early-career, care to explain what early means? (Score 1) 53

Early-career means old enough to be able to spot issues with work ethics while young enough to be naive and malleable. Two year stints to be able to weed out those who made it through the first pass. Eventually, a solid group of people who will work on any project, no matter how odious to Liberty, Freedom, and Democracy, to complete the full takeover of the USA.

What "they" don't realize is that by taking control this way, they lose everything they wanted to get. There will be no creativity, nor even the ability to create. Only solve immediate issues. It is a straight path to hell on Earth.

we can just be patient and wait for him to inevitably fade like a fart in the wind

He is just a symptom, and a recent one at that. Him dying will not solve anything as the infrastructure which brought him to us is still there and waiting to foist someone else upon us. This isn't about him, he is a just a useless fool who is easy to manipulate.

Try listening.
Try acknowledging.
Try reflecting.
Try redirecting.
Try doing the work of actual empathy, not just the performative convenient pseudo-empathy that people talk about on social media but only apply to those who already believe like you.

All of those are fantastic suggestions; however, I would add another suggestion that is likely to trigger everything you are suggesting: Go live in a politically stable foreign land for a while. Meet the people. See how they do things. It will be vastly different than what you are used to... and yet, you will still see that they value family, integrity, etc no less than you and your country do.

If you are a hateful shithead... don't even bother. You will find nothing but confirmation of your biases.

Comment Re:Trump Trying to Silence CNN (Score 1) 205

In what alternate fuckin' reality do you live in where Republicans have dominated the Big 3, NPR, Newspapers, wire services, etc etc etc?

I will not argue whether or not NPR is "liberal" or "democrat" or whatever. I will concede your point that it is NOT conservative; however, I know nobody who listens to NPR, not even myself (which is why I will not argue your assertion there).

Newspapers are, or at least used to be, "big", but your assertion falls flat on its face there. One example is that The Washington Post, a very major newspaper, was purchased semi-recently by a conservative. Numerous other newspapers are also owned by conservatives. Your point falls flat here.

Wire services are essentially fact repeaters and in fact, appear to have a conservative bias to the facts that they look at and reveal. It is other news organizations that do the editorializing.

Ultimately, you will have to provide a much more coherent argument if you would like anyone to listen to you assertions.

Have a nice day. :)

Comment Re:Venus is orders of magnitude easier to colonize (Score 1) 99

Temperature is perfect, pressure is fine and no radiation.

This caught my eye so I looked it up. Here is a quote I found in relation to your claim: "Intense at the Top: Venus is closer to the Sun and receives intense solar energy, especially ultraviolet (UV) radiation, at its cloud tops."

Explain your position here please.

If people really have a problem with this, they can stop voting for crooks. When I see 90% reelection rates, I know the voters aren't serious

Interesting. No thoughts at all on whether or not the elections are legitimate. I wonder why that is Mr. Anonymous Coward...

Comment Re:But of course! (Score 1) 88

I fixed electronics for Naval Aviation. Without schematics and access to parts, a naval ship with planes/helicopters would be useless about 2 months into a deployment. During my last deployment, we had to do without our Harrier jets because of nonsense like this. I was able to perform depot level maintenance on most of the electronics which allowed most of our birds to continue flying. This law will entirely cripple the US military. The US military does not just sit at home next a depot level maintenance facility.

Comment Re:Does not require the pentagon to sign up for it (Score 2) 88

but court tolerance of the shooting of civilians is the lowest it has ever been.

I was nodding along with the thrust of your comments until I hit this gem that I quoted. Civilians are being shot by police all the time. Sometimes, there are repercussions, most of the time, there is not. ICE agents have not been prosecuted even once and are completely above the law. Anything they do can not be reviewed.

Comment A stronger company but a weaker nation (Score 1) 88

I am guessing none of them have ever had to repair equipment a thousand miles from home in a combat zone. Well, at least the companies are getting wealthier... unfortunately, they will not be able to protect that wealth as the military will fall flat on its face if it can't do field repairs. The USA was nice while it lasted, but it can not last much longer at this rate. I wonder who will buy us or if Israel will use the blackmail it has on all of our leaders to just keep us as a puppet state. Or maybe we will become a vassal of Russia. Who knows for sure?

Comment Re:Won't work but needs to be done (Score 1) 137

Governments have got to do something

Do they? Government does need to provide infrastructure and a coherent ruleset that we can ALL abide by, but does it REALLY need to control the social affairs of its citizens? If so, why? Make sure to include how it affects/effects the concept of Freedom... or is Freedom an antiquated concept and we should all sacrifice our individuality for the Greater Good?
