What faux feminism? Seems to me all she ever did was put forth an image of someone who has a big group of friends and they’re all successful and presumably don’t take any shit from dudes or at least try not to depend on them. Maybe that’s her actual personality. It’s fair to say that part of her personality/images…

Oh come on. Let’s not pretend we haven’t had a preemptive strike plan for the last 50 years.

He already dropped a MOAB in the middle of a diplomatic crisis with Russia, signaling that he will go all the way up to using nuclear weapons, which is a pretty big provocation.

The idea is that this is a final confirmation (rather than a test) of a miniaturized warhead capable of being fit on a missile capable of reaching at least Japan. If that’s true, North Korea is no longer in the realm of setting off firecrackers in their own backyard, but is rather a legitimate threat to its neighbors.

It could start a nuclear war, but probably not WW3. China had North Korea’s back in the Korean War (and to a much less extent, so did the Soviets), but there’s no reason for either to stick their necks out for Kim Jong-un. As long North Korea uses nukes before we do, and we don’t end up dropping any on the long side…

Largely for the intimidation factor. Also, it was developed partly for clearing out cave systems and the IEDs protecting them. What’s everybody’s problem with it exactly?

Probably a lack of signs of foul play. Defensive injuries, bruising, anything that might indicate she was pushed. For all we know they have a note as well since tjat sort of thing wouldn’t be published immediately.

Yes, it is. I desperately want to believe this is an accident and a personal tragedy to do with nobody else’s malice, but I truly can’t right now. I hope I’m wrong.

Let’s all jump to conclusions despite the lack of available evidence.

You didn’t know Muslims were not Jewish?

I want to call bullshit on no foul play

I don’t believe it’s a suicide. She was a successful black Muslim woman in a position of authority. That will poss off both racists and sexists.

“She was a very gentile, lovely lady...” I didn’t know Muslims were Gentiles.

Apple supports their phones longer than anyone. As comparison to another big vendor, the Galaxy S3 also came out in 2012 (although a few months earlier than than the iPhone 5), and ended official support somewhere around KitKat (?) I believe. And as someone already mentioned, Google’s Nexus line receives updates for…

I’m glad you replied before me. My eye was beginning to twitch reading his “reasoning.”

Google Pixel is a good phone, don’t get me wrong, but Google doesn’t support its phones forever either. The Nexus 4, for instance, only officially received Android 4.2 through 5.1—about 2.5 years of updates—while the Nexus 5 received Android 4.4 through 6, a little more than 2 years of updates. The iPhone 4S,…

Always fun to go back and reread the comments of that one. Not a good look for many people, especially the author.

You’re talking about a nearly 6 year old phone and you’re accusing Apple of planned obsolecense? If 6 years is planned obsolecencse that’s a horrible rate of return. But, Care to mention another manufacturer that has supported 6 year old phone? Most androids can’t even get the latest OS update a year later.

Anyone still using an iPhone 5 is using a 5 year old device. In computer terms, that’s ancient. Anyone who has been stuck using a 5 year old computer for work knows what I’m talking about.
