Hot take: political experience is overrated and doesn’t actually matter, and a person’s values matter far more than how long they’ve been a politician

I think it’s actually better for Cynthia that HRC is not endorsing her.

People really need to read up on the British Raj and the millions of people killed through man-made famine, war, and massacres.

Or a reminder of imperialist cruelty to the former colonies to this citizen of a former colony. We remain fucked up for many reasons including Britain’s penchant for drawing arbitrary borders and amalgamating people who have no shared identity.

Here in Ireland we’re just over a week away from a national referendum on whether to remove the constitutional protection of the “right to life” of the unborn. The debate is nasty and, unlike last time we did this in 1983, very informed by evangelical American anti-abortion rhetoric as opposed to our home-grown…

who?

Or, save yourself all the hassles, and leverage the expertise of Dropbox, Google Drive, etc., and combine it with Boxcryptor. Total security with ease.

If you really wanna get closer to cloud storage without the cloud part, go for OwnCloud instead... you’ll have a central device that stores and syncs up everything, and then client devices that will connect to it. Interface should be more familiar to those used to cloud storage than Syncthing, which is fine too if you…

Exactly. ODB is clearly reaching to find a reason that it’s the kid’s fault for being assaulted, and he couldn’t be more wrong. A punch to the face isn’t “friendly”, nor is it even effective as a compliance tactic. A properly trained officer, not acting out of anger, knows that and would never do it. ODB needs to shut…

No it isn’t. I work in psychiatric health, and we work with security guards and police officers all the time. We all undergo extensive training on how to gain control over a situation WITHOUT HURTING PEOPLE. It’s relatively straightforward, and NONE of it involves punching someone in the face. There are many methods…

Monica Lewinsky deserves a huge apology from the world. I cannot imagine what she endured and to continue to face fallout (even as simple as being excluded from an event) is infuriating.

Just never thought she would stoop so low. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

What are you even talking about? She’s a vegan cyberhippie and he’s a money hungry capitalist. That’s seems a wee bit more notable than both understanding the same joke. You’re insane.

Grimes no. :(

Since we’re all becoming more privacy conscious these days, it would be great if these product recommendations came with a privacy summary or score of some kind. What am I giving away to clean out my Gmail inbox?

I am kinda interested in this, but have real difficulty giving this any of my time unless it will look critically at Maggie Haberman and ask hard questions about why the NYT continues to employ her, given her and her family’s significant ties to Trump, the Kushners, and Russia.

Haberman is complicit in Trump’s installation as president and his reign as Fuhrer in Chief. I never knew a fucking thing about any reporters until I noticed her and Thrush’s byline on every ass kissing byline. I cannot stand her privileged ass sanctimony. Mags, if you’re reading, go fuck yourself. THANKS!

This is why people on the right and left hate this shit.

Welcome to the club my friend! Be thankful you found out this way instead of being the gf. I learned in my previous relationship that if a guy insists that all/most of his exes are bad people, just walk away right then and there. Chances are they’re not being honest about their part in it.

It could be possible to have…

So, fun story, I have to present as male for my safety despite being a trans girl. And this horrible situation allows me to be privy to a lot of secret male behavior. One thing I have found is, NEVER TRUST ANYTHING A GUY SAYS ABOUT A GIRL HE DATED.
