There are people he who think that you are deranged you know. Same with me.
Yep. I do know that. But that's not what I'm talking about here.
You might not like it, but your idea that we actually attack people and in large part because we politically disagree with them
I'll readily admit to [verbally] attacking people whose politics are directly comparable to the Third Re!ch.
is how we get the deranged (in my opinion) idea that young people are smart, and older people are senile.
I feel like some steps are missing there.
So what do you propose? Involuntary Euthanasia? A person hits 65, and it's over?
I already proposed competence tests. They should be medically designed, not politically, but naturally a bipartisan committee would have to argue about that and would probably fuck it up. That doesn't change the principle, though.
Yes, term limits are a sideways solution, but one that doesn't allow the Feinstiens and McConnell's and a few others to make it a career out of government.
No, they don't solve the problem anyway, because a person who was just elected can be incompetent.
What determines competency to hold office? I want people better than basic.
I do too, but I don't think we can reasonably hold people to an even higher standard. If the voters want to be represented by someone just like them, that's their prerogative, even if it's stupid.
But since you think my methiod is bad, how bow outlining yours, from local to presidential. What tests, what to do with failures.
I am not qualified to determine what tests we should use. I want that determined by medical professionals, not some asshole on a website, even if that asshole is me.
When I was in elementary school I played a game on the Apple IIs where you had some machines you could put in a row and your part would go through them and get rotated, punched or painted. You'd get a shape and you had to place and configure the machines in sequence to make it. Some shapes could be made in various ways, some only had one right answer. As far as I know, only I ever played it at my school.
Even more usefully, those of us in GATE got inductive word puzzles and were taught how to solve them with diagrams. This person is this thing and this other thing but not that thing, the person who did these things didn't do that but did do this, etc etc. Nobody else got to do this.
Another thing I was lucky enough to get to do was be trained to speed read using a machine that took a film strip and scanned across the text to limit what you could see at any given time. Then they'd test us to check our retention.
There's lots of activities like this which kids could be playing if there was time, but the curricula don't leave room for that. Instead we make sure they're force-fed whichever "facts" we want them to retain, with nothing to hang them on. In particular we teach kids in elementary school a bunch of utter bullshit about how the world works and why our government did things. Then we act surprised when they can't navigate reality. Well, it doesn't fucking work like we told them!
AFIK, ATT has NO plans to provide fiber to the entire state.
That's not relevant to net neutrality, though yes, you're right. And they have taken literally hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars for that purpose (government grants, not customer payments) which they then clearly handed out to shareholders and/or executives because they obviously didn't spend them on last mile internet.
One way that doesn't attack anyone's mental state is term limits.
It's inappropriate not to attack anyone's mental state. Their lack of competence is exactly the problem. We need for everyone in government, not just congress, to be able to pass at least a basic mental competency test. The People should never be paying for an incompetent to hold a public position, and that's arguably the least important principle at issue.
What would a dickless child rape enthusiast maggot know about sticking a dick in anything? Thankfully, without a penis at least you cannot penetrate a child with one like you all want to.
MSM, Mainstream Media, are not reporters, are not journalists. They are FAKE NEWS
Fox News is the most popular news outlet in America.
That means Fox News is the "MSM".
You just bit the hand that feeds your insanity.
Look at how surprised we all are.
It's just you. You can't hide the approach and all superpowers have weapons which can hit a satellite, or a spacecraft.
No. It's trivial to write Rust unsafely, just use unsafe.
The selling point of Rust is that it enforces memory safety by default.
The last unequivocal Windows upgrade was Windows Vista to Windows 7.
Come to think of it, it was also the only unequivocal upgrade to NT since Windows 2000, and before that, it was 3.51.
You're right they're not at the extend phase... yet.
History tells us we should watch out for that.
They deserve all the hate for the late 90's with their extended proprietary JVM or with playing dirty in office file format standards with Open XML. But those are a decade and a half ago.
Microsoft has become worse in many ways over that time, there's no reason to believe they are better in this way as well.
Using a tool and giving back is the premise of open source and giving grief over changed bad behavior is pretty counter productive to progress.
Microsoft is still engaging in a lot of bad behavior, so there's no reason to believe that anything that is good will continue, or that anything that looks good is good.
Get psychiatric help.
He literally needs it. His brain broke when Obama got elected. Slashdot saved the receipts. Sad how racism can develop into a full-blown case of psychosis but it looks like that's what happened here.
