The guy should be in prison for purposefully deceiving people to his financial gain. Why people aren’t standing at his door with pitchforks is beyond me.  

I think its funny that people think Trump should abide by rules that former president elects, etc. abided by. Clearly, if its not a law and there isn’t real consequence for breaking it, Trump is going to do whatever he damn well pleases. I don’t know if there is a law for conflict of interest, but so far it doesn’t…

The Elephant in the room is whether the positives of an Internet, where anyone, regardless of intellect or experience, can quickly* post/share anything, is good or bad for the advancement of personkind.

Thumbs up. My company was acquired by a company in Provo, Utah and I moved to Utah with many non-Mormons to keep my job. Living among the Mormons wasn’t horrible, most are nice well meaning people. But, most were also extremely ignorant. I had befriended a co-worker who as married and had 3 kids at the time. He often…

I didn’t even see the movie when it came out, but a kid brought a book to my middle school which had stills of the movie. I was convinced, after seeing the book, that an Alien lived in my closet. The pictures of the chest burster, in particular, were imprinted on my brain because it was so shocking (even as a still).

Butthead: They said “felicitated” huh huh huh.

For me, its not the pace at which technology is changing but the less people seem to understand it in the broader context of our culture and society. The whole fake news thing is just one example. Our inability to go deep on subjects is another (versus our scanning everything on cell phones). Security and Internet of…

He’s batshit crazy, plain and simple. What anyone who voted for him thought he would do for them, I haven’t a clue. What I do think is there are a lot of people in this country who are going to quickly realize they’ve been duped by America’s #1 Snake Oil Salesman (just like the folks at his fake university, the…

There are so many things in this world I am thankful I never paid attention to: Social Media, celebrities by circumstance (all of the kids who, by virtue of being spawn to someone or doing something stupid, are now celebs despite not having any talent), and idiots like this guy. If the underlying shallowness of these…

It’s odd because usually you see relics of a crappy leader being torn down AFTER the reign of said leader ends.

Trump made his bed by spewing hate toward basically everyone on the planet. He made his bed by surrounding himself by people who’ve spent much of their lives doing the same. We’ve got to keep pushing leaders and people in power push back on Trump’s hateful ideology with all the fervor they have.

Your post suggests something I’ve seen of some Trump supporters (and die hard Republicans in my life). Some see elections as no different than my NFL team beat your NFL team. My brother, when Bush won, texted me and say “Ha, we won!” Another relative texted my brother-in-law and said “Still crying?” What I think many…

Of course. Advertising companies, of which Facebook is one, create algorithms designed to sell stuff. That’s their #1 goal as it should be if you want to increase shareholder value. The problem is is that so many FB users think its their platform, or it should serve their agenda. Get real. You want to help our culture…

Social media is mostly for the bored and the boring and it’s greatly in our inability to think critically. It’s mostly a boondoggle to sell stuff.

What you said is important. You can negotiate or discuss with rational people, but it’s futile to negotiate or discuss with people who are vulgar, awful people. If your family has those people in it, its best to tell them they are vulgar, awful people and get on with your life. One has to ask oneself what one gains…

Does it matter who we have in 2020, when a sexist hate spewing pumpkin can win? Put up a rock for christ sake or maybe “The Rock,” no one hates The Rock. Clearly experience and intelligence don’t matter.

People who voted for Trump because they think he’s going to bring them prosperity are misguided. I empathize with their struggle. I do. I cannot fathom what it must be like in to be in their position. But the majority of any profit their companies will see will continue to go to the top 1%, not to them, the people…

Peeking or just something they did to get through grade school?

My respect for Clinton runs deep in terms of all the B.S. she’s have to endured this election cycle. She’s not just running against one guy, she’s running against a huge hate machine. And, she’s handled herself with more grace than I certainly could given the idiots and hate she’s had to endure. There aren’t many…

In the category of “why is our culture this way?” Why do we plainly accept that we need a liquid to have fun and/or deal with life’s difficulties? Why is this flatly accepted part of our culture? I find it odd that we put so much emphasis on a liquid in our lives.
