I don't think you need to be Trump or a Trump supporter to find personalized ads offensive and unwelcome. I think there's pretty bipartisan agreement it's getting a little out of hand. For instance, when I was under 21, I often got ads for alcoholic beverages, even though those services knew my exact date of birth. Why was I given those ads? At the time I had no way of learning why.
Yes, unfortunately reddit pays engineers to obfuscate use cases so they can push notifications and steal your attention. The mobile app didn't even have (lasi I checked) a (n intuitive) way to get to r/friends short of actually clicking on a link to that feed a user has posted. The lights are on but it seems no one is home
I told Sen. Feinstein she was the most disappointing politician to ever represent me and the first I regretted voting for, after pointing out she's been in the Senate longer than I have been alive. She actually did what I asked and stepped down from the minority leadership in the Senate Judiciary committee. I wasn't the only one who said something.
SOPA is an older example, politicians do actually listen. Defeatism will not get you anything you want.
Unless someone exacts extensive damage to something like the electrical grid. In which case it would cause mass suffering and death. Don't underestimate the steel trap of that cold war mentality.
Clickspring is one of the most fascinating channels on YouTube. From a 3D modeling perspective, it's always nice to see how boolean operations are applied in real life to metal to create useful tools.
You actually don't have a legal right to a lawyer who lies about fraud whenever they aren't in front of a judge and their actual freedom depends on telling the truth.
Donald Trump himself wasn't a politically viable candidate until people took his transparently bad faith, virulently racist birther lies in good faith. Have we learned nothing?
Care must be taken not just in the composition but also in the execution and judgment of the law. Edit: and therefore I think flattening the issue into a single paragraph misses the point entirely
They're at least explicitly saying out loud what some of their choices about not prosecuting are. Most of the time the thought that goes into those decisions isn't shared with the public. The prosecutor has a wide degree of independence, and they are always accountable to someone. Even prosecutors who aren't "progressive" choose not to prosecute some crimes, to litigate everything would be ridiculous and counter productive to the business of government and commerce. My guess is your hair is on end because of a prosecutor(s) who was installed by the public.
What if I had four legs and a tail? Edit for clarity: both are non sequiturs. You provide no justification for your spurious speculation. The article has a video.
Mass gun ownership also increases gun ownership among fools and incompetents who leave their guns in places where they can be stolen and introduced into the black market.
I have a much higher skepticism of self reported symptoms like this than the average person. I know a lot of hypochondriacs personally, so that may be a factor in my judgement. I think the human brain is excellent at coming up with little stories about how we are victims of bad actors.
I'm fairly sure I remember the insect science community suggested cicadas or something at one point, I don't think it's impossible. More likely than antagonism honestly
State creation has been partisan for much of this country's history for what it's worth. I find any excuse for not giving the district two senators and a representative (or more) to be unconscionable and based in partisan politics. You are welcome to argue otherwise.
Evidence leads me to believe PR would be competitive. GOP primary voters are overwhelmingly racist though, so the politicians feel an imaginary sword hanging over their heads.
They recently voted for statehood in a plebescite. I believe the official GOP platform does actually support statehood, but I'm of the view that GOP politicians and voters don't actually know what their platform is beyond revanchism
