  1. Kind of funny how irrelevant that slang term is, was reference to the M1 handling. But it is fine, Trump is bull****ting as always and meshbacks love hard man nonsense like that.
  2. Hm, not so much up here, the left seems the same for the most part - though I suppose that may change next election cycle. Every random prole online certainly has ruined the online experience though, maybe nostalgia talking
  3. I miss the Internet in 2001.
  4. Shame his son was on The Bad Stuff then
  5. Trap is slang for an area with drugs apparently. Also slang for pre-op transsexuals, it seems. Also http://knowyourmeme.com/photos/1244709-traps
  6. Not sure waiting for a sale is "punishing" developers, but from your description doesn't seem like something I would want to have blown $45 over.
  7. Pft. I just saw the world for what it is. </edgelord>. I blame engineering. And too much time on the Codex.
  8. You're seeing a lot of outrage?
  9. Even if you're looking for a powerful experience you should get it on sale.
  10. Apathy is my way of life, man.
  11. In a Taco Bell near you
  12. Don't allow cameras for privacy reasons and a distraction as well (though I guess they are not noisy these days).
  13. Abusing that's is systematic at my workplace, which isn't a small charity or anything. It's got 30k employees and is government owned, but if you take on any position with responsibility you might get more working hours, but you don't get a raise or anything. The responsibilities, stress and general worries are slowly getting to me. I'm on the verge of becoming violent at people some days. Yes. A lot of charities do seem to have that in them. The gradual emotional pressure on volunteers to put more time in because "there's no one else to do it" and the "Can you just help us cover this because so and so is off sick" and then you've suddenly got them pushing you to volunteer over 30 hours a week and piling responsibilities on top. See, this is why empathy is a weakness.
  14. Of course, there was a movie about him. And he was touting MacArthur as the greatest general ever in the campaign (when he was going on about how you can take an entire city by surprise) if I recall correctly.
  15. History channel in the US shows anything history ? Up here it's just shows about truckers/fishermen/pilots/truck drivers on the 401/jade harvesters or wonderful crap like Ancients Behaving Badly
  16. Time for Mattis to seize power.
  17. Youre right! I think I was confusing the two organizations. Peta are cray cray. Well as I said, it depends on how wide your definition is
  18. And Trump threatens fire and fury. Ah politicians, so much balls but someone else's ass. https://twitter.com/TreyYingst/status/895004446438170626
  19. I agree with this. This was a matter that should have been handled internally. He wasn't representing Google by it, he was advocating work environment policies that would be less stiffing to the flow of free thought. He probably shouldn't have included his personal opinion on things like the wage gap, merely advocated for higher standards off inquiry in hopes that correcting the process helps both the work culture and the grappling with whatever emergent dynamics might be resulting in the world. But demonstrating that a particular position might indeed hold water put him in a position of having a message he wishes a chance to win out, and thus Google felt like they couldn't endorse a particular view. But his situation was forced by all those taking it public. This is the type of whistle blowing you learn is unbeneficial and counter-productive in ethics courses Then again maybe the manifesto author is a large type **** and this was too good to pass up
  20. Yeah but PETA isn't the same as your SPCA but both are part of animal rights movements.
  21. Well can't judge by the loons. Though depends on how wide you define the movement.
  22. https://www.peta.org/living/food/why-cheese-is-the-most-sexist-thing-you-can-eat/ Close enough.
  23. Well political sensibilities are ok until they cause an issue amongst the group. Like anything I guess. Probably wouldn't have fired him had it not gone public, if they don't then they catch heat and they figured it would be worse than if they did not. One man is expendable, after all. Wonder how much it will hurt them, the usual sort are preparing for Free speech jihad but we all know how long those tend to run for. Should also fire the dude that leaked it, he pushed this into a scope it didn't need to have
  24. Luckily Trump says a lot of things. Problem with mercs is what kind of leash do you have them on. Well that and some sweet, sweet corruption - though might be as bad as it is now
  25. There are companies that are big on such things?
