I wish I could be more optimistic about NN, it's nice to hear the President saying he's for it, but the fact that Powell is now chair of the NCTA is deeply troubling. This sort of thing has to stop. You can't be expected to objectively regulate an industry with the best interests of consumers in mind and then go and…

I have a 2013 15" MacBook Pro, and it's been fine since updating to Yosemite. It seems Apple may have a problem optimizing the OS for older hardware, as we have seen with iOS.

also bizarre to me.

It also doesn't help that proving how Pro-Israel one is (whether it's justified or not) has become a requirement of getting elected by one of our major political parties here in the US. I wonder how much perspective will be gained after recent events in Gaza. It doesn't take a genius to see that Isreal brings the…

I would say we're giving more coverage to these wildly irresponsible voices, because they're seen as controversial, and therefore, ratings bait.

maybe it took them that long to get everything ready for the mission to go there? Remember that they said NASA had been defunded, and they were having trouble finding a pilot.

I know, life for the rich really has been difficult under Obama. You can really see why the election results went the way they did.

yes, but...are they having fesh and cheps? #obscurekiwiaccentjoke. You're welcome.

bollocks

Tag line: make fun of hipsters all you want, but apparently they vote! You listening, Brooklyn?

That's a great idea, but we all that would benefit the Democratic Party, which I think is about to become illegal.

technically, you answered the question, but I'm still wondering why, myself.

did you see the breakdown by county? I've never seen NY so red.

I think that before 2008,that argument about 'both parties are just as bad' was a bit more convincing. Since 2008? Sorry, I really don't see how anyone could not understand how mental the Republican party has gone.

yeah, in my county in NY they send me a letter ever year telling me where my polling place is. And I moved into my current place 7 years ago, and the polling place hasn't changed. (Stewart was joking about that, he said so on his show last night)

is the problem that it's not easy enough to vote, though? Because I keep hearing this common thread of 'millennials are disillusioned' if that's really the problem, is making it easier to vote really going to fix anything? Because they don't seem to have a problem getting out to vote in Presidential years, is it…

Which makes zero sense to me. If I were in my twenties right now and racking up a ton of student loan debt, I'd be very interested to make sure I wasn't about to enter into a workplace and an economy that are as un-fucked as possible by a bunch of hedge fund managers who want us all chained to our desks for less than…

good point, that. We have a situation right now where one party is very clearly benefitting from a lot of people not voting. Why would they want that to change? But yeah, it can also be a pain to get out to vote on a work day. Sunday, anyone?

some countries have compulsory voting. I used to live in Australia, and I have to say I'm surprised at how poorly informed people in the States are, particularly young people. People in Australia really seem to be a bit more in touch with what's going on. This not meant to be a put down, but since you asked, I do…

I'm demoralized with the state of politics as well, but I still get out there and vote. Why? Because elections have consequences. And I also voted for Cuomo, because yeah, lesser of two evils and all that, but sometimes that 'lesser' is way lesser. People who claim that "both parties are equally awful" infuriate me,…
