I think it was a useful exercise. He did not acquit himself well in that interview. Anyone who listened to it could clearly discern that is real issue is that his little white fee-fees are hurt because white people aren’t the most special-est people anymore. He sounded ridiculous. As these people do when they have…

Recognitions is someone that’s pretty safe to ignore:

I think this is one of those cases where the nuance is being lost in the fire.

Seems to me that Kessler came across like an idiot. How is exposing these people for the idiots they are not a good thing? If you act like they are They Who Shall Not Be Named, then you magnify their power.

I’ve never heard of the use of that spelling in Mexican Spanish, but I’m not a linguistic expert, either, and it’s not like I’ve traveled the breadth of the country examining variant spellings. I did spend some time in Juarez and I don't recall encountering it. But yeah, it's got the best vocab and accent in my…

I guess my thing is... I just want Hillary Clinton to go away. She’s not helping anything, and any time she opens her mouth, it’s like a dog whistle for the right.

That may be true, but Mexican Spanish is the only version really worth a damn.

I’m in NM (part of the “mountain market,” I assume) and I would assume that “chili con queso” DOES refer to a meaty, tomato-y stew with cheese on it so I figured this chip was trying to emulate a frito pie. “Chile con queso,” on the other hand, makes me think of melted cheese dip with yellow or green chile mixed in.…

It was a gaffe because, whether it makes sense or not, people held that against her. Political gaffes are often politicians being reasonable while the entire world burns them to the ground for it, without thinking the position through.

That is some next level tactical shit right there. Squad up mates, we’re going in.  Kayteleyn, take the point

Who is putting the slide deck together for the first round of angel funding?

“White people exercising their privilege is just a natural instinct. But nothing makes a white person feel GOOD about exercising their privilege than a cadre of black people cheering them on.”

while we’re dreaming here, how about codifying a full release of prior 10-yrs/15-yr/20-yr income tax records and other federal filings for any & all candidates seeking House, Senate, White House nominations.  

If publishers want to present their product as a “commodity for retail sale”, then they should relinquish control of copies in users’ possession. You wouldn’t allow a car dealer to slash your tyres whenever they lose sight of your car.

You have to come up with some other way of protecting people’s Intellectual Property

Yep, I agree with pretty much everything you said. I don’t have the same background in philosophy as you (just common sense and an ability to read people so well that I can basically force them on the defensive at my leisure), and even I know that ethics has very little to do with law. To quote, “There are laws…

This would be all well and good if consumers had proper digital rights and if DRM didn’t abuse those rights that aren’t properly protected yet.

Oh, I’m hardly professional. I just have common sense and know how to adapt to new ideas. Fen just wants everything to follow due process no matter what, the law is the law, and all that. Nevermind the delicious irony that he/she probably wouldn’t exist without their nation breaking laws itself to become a nation in…

Stupid pride so concentrated that it has a stench.
