I doubt it. Secret Service can carry guns in the UK, so I imagine they have some form of diplomatic immunity, or whatever the agreement is for close person protection.', '>>{Innovative_Wombat} : Let\'s hope Ryan is trying to appease the base, because the alternative is indirectly, straight up mass extermination of Americans. Let me explain: Eliminating the individual mandate effectively allows large numbers of people, including healthy young people to go uninsured and rely on the ER for medical care. That eliminates a huge source of funding necessary to fund the care for basically everyone else. The 130% penalty doesn\'t mean jack to healthy people. In actuality, it\'s a disincentive to get insurance at all! This ensures that large populations of healthy youth will avoid getting insurance and providing necessary revenues. *Ryancare is now fully advocating for free riding by the healthy.* Meanwhile, Ryancare keeps the no preconditions and no lifetime limits. This is mathematically **impossible** to fund without the individual mandate. This will force insurers to basically abandon certain markets while jacking up rates on everyone else to avoid the huge costs of those with existing pre-conditions. Essentially, saddling insurance with huge costs while cutting out their revenue is what Ryancare does. This will lead to higher rates of uninsured and the high risk, pre condition people being forced into high risk pools. Here\'s where it gets really dark. Ryancare allocates $15 billion for the first two years and then $10 billion afterward to the states for their medical costs. That can be used for high risk pools. If EVERY state used it for high risk pools, that money wouldn\'t last a month. Michigan\'s "highly acclaimed" high risk pool that Republicans cite as why the ACA sucks cost around $2.5 billion to run decently well pre-ACA. That\'s one state with not even a large population. Multiple this across the country and that $15 billion is a rounding error. These high risk patients are being **sentenced to death by Ryancare.** So when we look at the math, we have two choices. The GOP is either so grossly incompetent they can\'t figure out the obvious mathematical outcome of Ryancare, or they are deliberately trying to indirectly murder Americans in large numbers. **If you have a problem with Republicans trying to murder Americans in large numbers, spread the word about what is going to happen**. Link, share, copy, whatever you want from this post. Civil society cannot stand still as its rulers set upon mass extermination of the citizenry. So Ryan is either playing Partisan games and fully intends for his bill to die....or he\'s actually trying to kill the people of this country.', '>>{newocean} : We need a recess... but not townhalls!

The GOP is either so grossly incompetent they can't figure out the obvious mathematical outcome of Ryancare, or they are deliberately trying to indirectly murder Americans in large numbers. If I recall correctly the bill came out without specific number from congressional budget committee and this was intentional. So I am inclined to believe the second option. GOP opposition to Obamacare was based on some bs principle (which they happily discarded with Trump). It was never ever based on economic discussion. No-one Ryan/Cruz/Paul have any sound economic reasoning beyond some free market bs.

Just throw up a bill you know can't get 60 in the Senate so you can say you tried.", '>>{Innovative_Wombat} : Let\'s hope Ryan is trying to appease the base, because the alternative is indirectly, straight up mass extermination of Americans. Let me explain: Eliminating the individual mandate effectively allows large numbers of people, including healthy young people to go uninsured and rely on the ER for medical care. That eliminates a huge source of funding necessary to fund the care for basically everyone else. The 130% penalty doesn\'t mean jack to healthy people. In actuality, it\'s a disincentive to get insurance at all! This ensures that large populations of healthy youth will avoid getting insurance and providing necessary revenues. *Ryancare is now fully advocating for free riding by the healthy.* Meanwhile, Ryancare keeps the no preconditions and no lifetime limits. This is mathematically **impossible** to fund without the individual mandate. This will force insurers to basically abandon certain markets while jacking up rates on everyone else to avoid the huge costs of those with existing pre-conditions. Essentially, saddling insurance with huge costs while cutting out their revenue is what Ryancare does. This will lead to higher rates of uninsured and the high risk, pre condition people being forced into high risk pools. Here\'s where it gets really dark. Ryancare allocates $15 billion for the first two years and then $10 billion afterward to the states for their medical costs. That can be used for high risk pools. If EVERY state used it for high risk pools, that money wouldn\'t last a month. Michigan\'s "highly acclaimed" high risk pool that Republicans cite as why the ACA sucks cost around $2.5 billion to run decently well pre-ACA. That\'s one state with not even a large population. Multiple this across the country and that $15 billion is a rounding error. These high risk patients are being **sentenced to death by Ryancare.** So when we look at the math, we have two choices. The GOP is either so grossly incompetent they can\'t figure out the obvious mathematical outcome of Ryancare, or they are deliberately trying to indirectly murder Americans in large numbers. **If you have a problem with Republicans trying to murder Americans in large numbers, spread the word about what is going to happen**. Link, share, copy, whatever you want from this post. Civil society cannot stand still as its rulers set upon mass extermination of the citizenry.

The GOP is either so grossly incompetent they can't figure out the obvious mathematical outcome of Ryancare, or they are deliberately trying to indirectly murder Americans in large numbers. If I recall correctly the bill came out without specific number from congressional budget committee and this was intentional. So I am inclined to believe the second option. GOP opposition to Obamacare was based on some bs principle (which they happily discarded with Trump). It was never ever based on economic discussion. No-one Ryan/Cruz/Paul have any sound economic reasoning beyond some free market bs.

Perez will use the opporunity for himself, but Bernie needs to take any action he can to get the money/recognition of the progressive agenda.", ">>{LazamairAMD} : I'm glad to see unity is finally returning to the Democratic Party. But let's not get ahead of ourselves just yet. There are 3 special elections for house seats in the coming days and weeks...in deep red districts...and the Democrat nominee for these elections are in very competitive positions to possibly win. Their victories would give the DNC some better idea on the platform to build that can get them large gains in 2018. I, for one, would love to see more Bernie-esque progressive ideology in there.", ">>{eggpIant} : There is definitely progressive influence coming into the party. You aren't going to get everything you want overnight. And what is the alternative? A new party? Good luck with that one", '>>{DeadTrumps} : No, I just said they need to move left.', ">>{MagicComa106} : Really? Last I checked it was the centrists that have been in control of the party over the last decade and have seen a record number of lost seats. It wasn't progressives calling the shots.", ">>{Endorn} : Yeah but what they're actually doing is what I said", ">>{BadDecisionDino} : Progressives need to get beyond Sanders at this point. He's a good guy, but so was Obama when he spent 8 years getting repeatedly lured in by the false promise of compromise with the GOP. The Democrats are basically doing the same thing to Sanders that the GOP did to Obama - cynical opportunists taking advantage of a reasonable man who believes that if he tries hard enough, he can eventually break through and appeal to their better natures.", ">>{IbanezDavy} : Seeing how the centrists have full control of the party, and there are still progressives hanging around, I think stuff has been conceded. If this is the way the establishment democrats want things, then more of the burden is going to be shifted on to them. If Bernie Sanders, Kieth Ellison and some progressive from the house were the DNC chair and minority leaders, I'd expect the same from them towards rank and file democrats. The way I see it is that 55% of the party voted for Clinton around 45% voted for Sanders. They agree on about 80% so set that aside. The remaining 20% should be taken close to equally from the progressive wing and the centrist wing, with a slight bias towards the centrist wing. But only a slight. I've seen very little adoption of that mentality from the establishment democrats. It's business as usual with painting all things Russia and Trump as the boogie man. There's a lot of mending to be done. But I just don't think the progressive wing really has most of the burden given who is in more control.", ">>{Endorn} : Name one policy of Perez that's been I progressively influenced? Hell, name one new Perez policy period. All I've heard the guy say is BS about leading with our values and being a grass roots party.", '>>{Endorn} : By standing beside the leader of a party that just voted to make taking lobbyist money permanent?', ">>{MagicComa106} : How are simple words any more substantiated? Unfortunately we'll never know how much of that platform President Clinton would have followed but it certainly isn't anything more than lip service.", '>>{Endorn} : So that makes it ok for Perez to start making it less progressive?', '>>{IbanezDavy} : Sure lets double down. That seems to work for Trump no matter how wrong it is.', '>>{kyonu} : You work with what you have. The more people that know about a progressive campaign, the more people that will vote for it. Perez is giving him that opportunity while looking like a "unifier". In the long run, his policy will fail while Bernie\'s will succeed. It\'s a necessary evil, and I think Bernie knows that.', '>>{IbanezDavy} : The solution to your problems lie with the [Justice Democrats] (https://justicedemocrats.com/)', ">>{eggpIant} : Well parties change with voters over time. If the voters are there, the Dems can only look away for so long. Don't forget you are not alone here. Republicans just got in line to elect a lunatic because he has the R next to his name. Progressives really don't have the luxury of standing on an island here", ">>{Matthmaroo} : Sigh.... If Bernie can get over it ... so can you He's going To be running as a democrat in 2020 , we all have to grow the fuck up and move on", ">>{Endorn} : Why would the party change if everyone keeps voting Dems because republicans are monsters? In fact that's best case scenario for the DNC, they get to keep moving right and taking corporate money and the Dems have to keep voting dem because you've all convinced yourselves that you have no choice.", ">>{eggpIant} : You really don't have much of a choice if you are being honest with yourself. Vote for people that you want to see change the party. The battle is in the primaries and 2018. This is just the cold hard reality of what politics is right now. Starting a new party is a pipe dream. And don't pretend America is one giant progressive pool waiting to vote. It's not. It has always been a conservative nation. The dems are right to care about centrist because there are a lot of them and they vote.", '>>{Endorn} : Maybe. But what you see here is an attempt to get RIGHT WING (red and purple) voters to vote democratic. They are blatantly telling you the party is going to nove right not left. And they will continue to do until the left wing stops voting for them out of fear of Republicans.', '>>{pktron} : What concessions can/should they make? The platform completely caved to progressives for the 2016 elections.', ">>{PopcornInMyTeeth} : Because I trust Bernie. We all liked his vote for the Iraq war, but this, like his decision to back Hillary seems to ruffle people's feathers. If Perez was going out alone, it's one thing, but Bernie's signing on and based on his past decisions, I see that as a good thing. Plus, any type of unity against the Republicans and Trump is a good thing."]]

Actually, that isn\'t exactly true. The president is a moderate, the elections in Teheran produced victories for moderates; every time there\'s an election, more moderates win. Except guess what, elected moderates != a moderate supreme leader != pro US Iranian foreign policy; and even if you do think there is some vague move toward the US in Iran, this *certainly* doesn\'t imply that the US and Iran will be "closely allied" anytime soon--which, if your reading skills aren\'t failing, you should recall is the original comment you started out defending. I mean, if the US and Iran were on the brink of friendship, surely ISIS, a mutual enemy of the US and Iran would\'ve been a godsend to that end. What gives? > Because that has been the status quo regarding Iran since the 1950s and you\'re towing the line. What a dumb thing to say. How does arguing that the US and Iran are not about to become close allies suggest that anyone should intervene in Iran? Are you just playing dumb? Surely anyone with half a brain should see that "Iran is our best friend!" and "we don\'t *love* Iran therefore it\'s time for war!" are not the only two options that exist in international relations. > Nah, I didn\'t skip it.

I dislike Republican foreign policy too, but this is an issue that has spanned both Dem and GOP administrations and until recently, they have typically taken the same stance. Ignoring is skipping.

Actually, that isn\'t exactly true. The president is a moderate, the elections in Teheran produced victories for moderates; every time there\'s an election, more moderates win. Except guess what, elected moderates != a moderate supreme leader != pro US Iranian foreign policy; and even if you do think there is some vague move toward the US in Iran, this *certainly* doesn\'t imply that the US and Iran will be "closely allied" anytime soon--which, if your reading skills aren\'t failing, you should recall is the original comment you started out defending. I mean, if the US and Iran were on the brink of friendship, surely ISIS, a mutual enemy of the US and Iran would\'ve been a godsend to that end. What gives? > Because that has been the status quo regarding Iran since the 1950s and you\'re towing the line. What a dumb thing to say. How does arguing that the US and Iran are not about to become close allies suggest that anyone should intervene in Iran? Are you just playing dumb? Surely anyone with half a brain should see that "Iran is our best friend!" and "we don\'t *love* Iran therefore it\'s time for war!" are not the only two options that exist in international relations. > Nah, I didn\'t skip it. I just ignored it because it demonstrates that you clearly are unaware of the history of our interventionist policies with Iran. I dislike Republican foreign policy too, but this is an issue that has spanned both Dem and GOP administrations and until recently, they have typically taken the same stance. Ignoring is skipping. The status quo has varied pretty significantly, and has depended in part on Iranian leadership. Let\'s not pretend that Iran circa 2000 = Iran circa 2007. Oh wait, I forgot you don\'t have an actual argument, so none of this matters to you, does it? > So. . .you\'re wrong and have been proven that you\'re wrong and you attack me I didn\'t realize contradicting what the other person is saying without making an argument or providing any evidence = "proving someone wrong." Ok. > Actually they do line up. The few Iranian Americans I know, actually do travel home to see family and friends. Do we need to do this again? The fact that you know a handful of Iranian Americans that travel to Iran doesn\'t mean you have your finger on the pulse of the Iranian psyche. That\'s called being a presumptuous. Doing that while presuming that anyone that disagrees with you is an imperialist is being a presumptuous ass.']]

Hopefully someone in that camp will come to understand that bad encryption creates crime because it presents an opportunity to criminals. The copyright industry is doomed. Their business model demands that making a copy of intellectual property implies giving them money, but the entire purpose of information technology is to make copying information free and easy.

Well, it\'s been 24 years now. Those "progressive" 1992 views have been left by the wayside. I have to tip my hat to Ms. Boxer for stepping down after many years of service. Problem is that Feinstein is making far too much money from her position to ever consider doing the Right Thing and will milk the position for all its worth. She runs unopposed because if a challenger were to appear, her machine just offers them a bucket of money (and some sort of ridiculously overpaid job that requires almost no effort at all) and they quietly disappear into the shadows. There\'s no way to get her out short of electing a Republican and that\'s about as likely as California seceding. We\'re pretty much stuck with her until she dies, most likely.

The reality is that IP costs a lot of money to produce. Copyrights, patents, and trademarks all exist precisely *because* information is so easy to copy relative to products. The idea that information technology changes anything about this is completely wrong; it changes nothing. Books have always been easy to copy; they're even easier today. The reason copyrights exist is because it is so easy to copy intellectual property relative to the cost of creating it. The thing that pirates fear the most is the loss of anonymity on the Internet. Once that happens, it becomes very easy to find anyone who is violating the law and fine them or put them in jail. The reality is that this is what pirates really fear - the loss of online anonymity, because once they lose that, they lose their ability to break the law freely. The thing is, encryption and anonymity have nothing to do with each other; it is possible to encrypt information, and hide its content from everyone, while still exposing its origin and end points. In fact, all good cryptographic systems can be intercepted endlessly and reveal nothing about the contents of the package. Once pirates lose their anonymity, they're screwed.

I'm saying that for everything that isn't pop music, anything different, there's no support system for it anymore. Your last paragraph, with the internet being able to get small bands out there, I touched on that in my last post. It works, but the problem is that it takes a really long time for a band to develop even a moderately successful following that way. It doesn't help that most of the music that's spread on the internet is consumed on the internet. There's no money in recording, all the money is on touring. Only problem is, in order to tour, you need money, and you need to be popular enough to be comfortable that you'll recoup your investment.

And then when Barbra Boxer came in the very next year, I was proud to be in one of the first states (if not THE first) to have not one, but two, female senators serving at the same time. Well, it\'s been 24 years now. Those "progressive" 1992 views have been left by the wayside. I have to tip my hat to Ms. Boxer for stepping down after many years of service. Problem is that Feinstein is making far too much money from her position to ever consider doing the Right Thing and will milk the position for all its worth. She runs unopposed because if a challenger were to appear, her machine just offers them a bucket of money (and some sort of ridiculously overpaid job that requires almost no effort at all) and they quietly disappear into the shadows. There\'s no way to get her out short of electing a Republican and that\'s about as likely as California seceding. We\'re pretty much stuck with her until she dies, most likely. Having said that, she is 83. I expect only one or two more terms from her.', '>>{Codeshark} : A Republican replacing a Senator from California does not seem likely.', '>>{Codeshark} : I think Kay Hagan probably lost because she seemed really weak.

She was also “tough on crime” (pro death penalty, pro police, anti drug, etc.), and pro military. And a big promoter of CA agriculture in their fights against environmentalists. Pro business more generally. She was never especially “progressive”. I’d call her a mainstream centrist/corporate Democrat with authoritarian tendencies.', ">>{TitaniumDragon} : This view is advocated by no intelligent or creative people. Sad but true. The reality is that IP costs a lot of money to produce. Copyrights, patents, and trademarks all exist precisely *because* information is so easy to copy relative to products. The idea that information technology changes anything about this is completely wrong; it changes nothing. Books have always been easy to copy; they're even easier today. The reason copyrights exist is because it is so easy to copy intellectual property relative to the cost of creating it. The thing that pirates fear the most is the loss of anonymity on the Internet. Once that happens, it becomes very easy to find anyone who is violating the law and fine them or put them in jail. The reality is that this is what pirates really fear - the loss of online anonymity, because once they lose that, they lose their ability to break the law freely. The thing is, encryption and anonymity have nothing to do with each other; it is possible to encrypt information, and hide its content from everyone, while still exposing its origin and end points. In fact, all good cryptographic systems can be intercepted endlessly and reveal nothing about the contents of the package. Once pirates lose their anonymity, they're screwed. It doesn't matter what encryption they have.", ">>{katrina_pierson} : I'd pin it down to her lucking out and getting elected during a presidential election year (especially with that disastrous Dole atheist ad).

If anyone dissagrees with me on this than let me just point out the internet trolls who massive "support" (through they don\'t really and won\'t be voting for him) Trump.

Trolls try to get a rise out of their targets. Correct the record simply operates in 2 ways that isn\'t trolling. 1. They rebuttal attacks on Hillary on the internet. Saying someone is wrong on the internet and giving the facts isn\'t trolling. In-fact I even like this idea with how common lies spread through social media this could be a effective measure to keep people honest and informed. I do believe however that Correct The Record should be obligated to reveal themselves. They should also only focus on credible sources and share such when giving a rebuttal. I highly doubt they are working this ethically however. 2. They work as a PR group by creating fake buzz for Hillary. This also isn\'t trolling it\'s simply making the appearance of more enthusiasm than what someone actually has. This method of doing it online while new the general practice itself isn\'t. The only group that does it more than politicians is the entertainment business. For example let\'s say a teenage musician that a record label put a lot of resources into is going on tour and the first stops tickets aren\'t selling very well they will give away tons of tickets so they can turn around and call it "sold out" which will make the musician appear more popular than they actually are and this hype can genuinely lead to more ticket sales for their next shows.

This time around with Trump we see Hillary making rather large errors and still she\'s pulling ahead. This isn\'t a praise to Hillary it simply shows how backwards the Republican party has become it\'s becoming unrelatable to anyone but the most extreme. If anyone dissagrees with me on this than let me just point out the internet trolls who massive "support" (through they don\'t really and won\'t be voting for him) Trump.

Saying someone is wrong on the internet and giving the facts isn\'t trolling. In-fact I even like this idea with how common lies spread through social media this could be a effective measure to keep people honest and informed. I do believe however that Correct The Record should be obligated to reveal themselves. They should also only focus on credible sources and share such when giving a rebuttal. I highly doubt they are working this ethically however. 2. They work as a PR group by creating fake buzz for Hillary. This also isn\'t trolling it\'s simply making the appearance of more enthusiasm than what someone actually has. This method of doing it online while new the general practice itself isn\'t. The only group that does it more than politicians is the entertainment business. For example let\'s say a teenage musician that a record label put a lot of resources into is going on tour and the first stops tickets aren\'t selling very well they will give away tons of tickets so they can turn around and call it "sold out" which will make the musician appear more popular than they actually are and this hype can genuinely lead to more ticket sales for their next shows.

No. *edit* Oddly my list is forcing both to be seen as "1" when I put 2 as the second.', ">>{Ximitar} : You think Donald Trump can make it that far without alienating everyone who isn't an undereducated white male, further Twitter meltdowns, bizarre claims and lies and without having his guts pulled out and wrapped around his neck in the debates?

The reason why this is happening is because iTunes doesn\'t have any way of knowing that this is the same computer you\'ve always had — the entire computer was erased as set up as a "new" computer, and so iTunes — along with any other software on your computer — is going to believe this is an entirely new PC. It\'s not a fault of iTunes, it\'s just the way of things.

Rest assured that the only content that gets erased is your music, so no worries about losing any other information on your iPhone.

That being said, the issue you experienced is certainly an annoying one. It\'s a holdover from many years ago (back when the iPod first came out). Although they don\'t really say why they have this system in place, the real reason is because, back when the iPod first came out, Apple had to play nice with all the big music companies / record labels at a time when piracy was a very big deal to them. As a result, Apple put this system in place so that if you had an iPod, you couldn\'t just stick all your music on it, and then run to a friends\' house and share all your thousands of songs onto their computer, and then their songs with yours, and so and so forth. So that\'s why when your computer saw that you iPhone was connected to "another" computer\'s iTunes library, it freaked out and said no.

That being said, the issue you experienced is certainly an annoying one. It\'s a holdover from many years ago (back when the iPod first came out). Although they don\'t really say why they have this system in place, the real reason is because, back when the iPod first came out, Apple had to play nice with all the big music companies / record labels at a time when piracy was a very big deal to them. As a result, Apple put this system in place so that if you had an iPod, you couldn\'t just stick all your music on it, and then run to a friends\' house and share all your thousands of songs onto their computer, and then their songs with yours, and so and so forth. So that\'s why when your computer saw that you iPhone was connected to "another" computer\'s iTunes library, it freaked out and said no.

A little BB software Android customization alone won't do it. BBOS10 had some nice touches, appealing to some.

This is what happens to a company whose management screams "stay the course" while the world changes around it. It\'s painfully clear because of the past corporate appeal of Blackberry products, the board at Blackberry is not at all in tune with *technology*, they are in tune with *business*. This is a problem however when your business *is* technology. This underwhelming Alcatel phone with BB branding and mild Blackberry OS flavors overlaid on Android should have been released in 2011 when Blackberry actually had a respectable market share and chance at life. The *only* thing this phone achieves is so they have something to show investors, "look! We\'ve adapted! We\'re committed to an android phone! This is where the trend is going!" and they can survive a couple more months of awkward board meetings.

But the fact remains, and anything RIM does now is just to slow the burn, retain any market value they can for when their investors inevitably come cashing in, and try to stay relevant enough to be bought by someone, most likely Microsoft. Rome didn't fall overnight. Neither do fortune 500 companies. The smartphone market is already crowded, and RIM is damaged goods. Like I said, if they had adopted Android 6 years ago, partnered with Microsoft, or provided a favorable marketplace for app devs to want to develop for them, they would be in a decent place right now with a nice little market share carved out in the corporate world still.

Nothing can ever match the speed, intuition and accuracy of the physical keyboard, and nothing can ever match the screen gesturing (ie. scroll and zoom), intuition and incredibly flexibility of the touchscreen. Combining the two is the logical and smarter thing to do because you also get better battery life, faster processors and better storage. I love the fact that I can use my hybrid laptop/tablet in virtually any situation like in bed, on the table and flat down with the screen up.

In Canada, voter registration is much more proactive and centralized.

A steady stream of articles over the past nine months has examined the challenges of the polling industry, pointing to highly visible failures, the rise of cell phones and the decline of response rates. And indeed, in Michigan and Indiana the polls were wrong for the Democratic primary, although not for the Republican primary. These articles raise some good points. Reporting does tend to seize on the most surprising poll which is, in fact, more likely an outlier than harbinger of a dramatic new trend. And there are technical and economic issues affecting the polling industry that are cause for serious concern. Yet for all the claims of broken polls, little direct evidence has been provided. Yes, response rates are down but has accuracy suffered as a result? Yes, polls differ from one another, but are “wild fluctuations” more common? I’ve examined all the presidential general election polling since 2000 — which is 2,056 polls in all. These data tell a very different story, however. The polls aren’t “broken” after all. The graph below plots the Democratic candidate’s share minus the Republican candidate’s share. Each gray point is a poll. The blue line is a trend — estimates via what is called “local regression”— that tracks the polling average over the election. [Graph](http://i.imgur.com/zmJn52b.jpg) The most important point is that the gray dots, the individual polls, are scattered around the trend line. This scatter is the measure of how much variation we get from the polls beyond what is due to the changes in trend over time. On any given day, some polls are above the trend and some below. This means one can always find “disagreement” among the polls. And when the trend is close to zero — that is, close to a tied race — then we find some polls with one party ahead and some with the other ahead. But how variable are the polls around the trend, and has this variation become larger, as the claim that polling is broken or wildly variable would suggest? To answer that question, subtract the trend estimate on the day the poll was completed from the poll result. This is called the “residual” and is a measure of the deviation of each poll from the trend. If polls have become increasingly unreliable over the past 16 years, we should see more variation around the trend, and the residuals should become more spread out in recent elections compared to earlier ones. If 2016 is especially bad for polls, this year should be clearly more variable. The next graph plots the residuals against time for each election. [Graph](http://imgur.com/SuWeC6c.jpg) There is no evidence that the variation in residuals has changed substantially since 2000. The variation tends to decrease closer to elections but the overall spread of the residuals has been relatively consistent across the five elections, including 2016 so far. Are current polls producing more outliers — that is, results further from the trend than we would expect due to normal sampling variation? If the residuals were perfectly normally distributed —that is, they precisely followed a “bell curve”— we would expect 5 percent of the polls to be more than 2 standard deviations away from the trend. Over the five elections the actual percentage of polls this far away ranges from 4.7 to 5.9 percent, with an average of 5.3 percent. In 2016 so far, what percent of the polls are outliers, by this standard: 5.3 percent. There is no evidence that 2016 is producing more outliers than previous campaign polls. Moreover, the variation in the polls isn’t increasing over time. The standard deviation of the residuals — which captures this variation — hasn’t become larger year over year. And 2016 is not out of line with previous years. If polling were seriously broken, or exhibiting wild fluctuations, we would expect to see more variability this year than previously. We do not. Another way to look at the variation is to plot the distribution of deviations from the trend for each year. If some years are markedly different from others we should see that in the figure. Specifically we should see a wider, or “fatter,” distribution for 2016 compared to previous years if polls have developed more “wild fluctuations.” [Graph](http://imgur.com/vwtad2S.jpg) There is not much difference among the five election years. The standard deviation varies a bit, but there is no evidence that “one of these is not like the others.” There is no statistically significant difference in the variance of 2016 polling compared to that of previous years. If we take all five years of polling together, a few rules of thumb emerge for how often we see polls far from the overall trend. Rounding a bit and making the range symmetric for simplicity, a pretty good summary of the polls is this: Half of the polls are within +/- 2 points of the trend. 75% of the polls are within +/- 3.4 points of the trend. 90% of the polls are within +/- 5.2 points of the trend 95% of the polls are within +/- 6.4 points of the trend So if you see a poll that is 5 points or more away from the trend, it may well turn out to be an outlier. But variation within 3 points of the trend is pretty common. So when the trend is, say, +2 for a candidate, expect to see most polls fall between -1 and +5. The -1 isn’t an outlier and neither is the +5. Both are consistent with a +2 race. But a -4 or a +8 should arouse some doubt. The thing about trends is they can change. What looks like an outlier today could be the first poll picking up a shift in support. But until it is joined by other polls, together moving the trend estimate, be skeptical. Telling an outlier from a harbinger is nearly impossible based on a single poll. Some patience is required while more data accumulate, certainly a challenge in a world of instant news and analysis. But when two, then three then four polls are all below the previous trend, the evidence becomes more convincing. To be clear, there are real challenges facing the polling industry. But there has been more rhetoric than evidence for the thesis that “polling is broken.” So far, the national polls in 2016 look a great deal like those from the past four presidential elections.

In short, there is a nasty discrepancy in exit polls that would say: The exit polls are not broken, the results are.', '>>{dinvgamma} : Two remarks: first, Franklin (in the article I posted) is talking about polls, not exit polls. Second, it\'s far, far more likely that exit polls are off due to mis-weighting. For a good discussion of how weights can skew predicted results, read the British Polling Council\'s recent [analysis](http://eprints.ncrm.ac.uk/3789/1/Report_final_revised.pdf) of the 2015 general election, in which the opposite happened (polls were wrong, exit polls were right). Edit: actually, let me expand, having spent more time on the site you linked, since I\'ve heard a lot of this from Sanders supporters. The problem is that he\'s assuming that the exit polls are a perfect random sample of all voters. If this were true, then the observed probability of the results, given the exit polls, would indeed be very improbable. (Though even then, it would be false to conclude that there\'s X% probability it was fraud; there\'s no evidence of any specific mechanisms producing an improbable outcome.) But we know that the exit polls aren\'t accurate reflections of voting behavior, for at least two reasons. First, we know that HRC wins handily in mail-ins, but Bernie does better on election day. Exit polls won\'t capture anyone who voted ahead of time, skewing the results toward Bernie. Second, exit polls are typically biased toward a candidate whose supporters are more vocal/enthusiastic about their candidate, since they\'re more willing to take the time to fill out the slip saying whom they voted for. Again, in this context, that produces bias toward Bernie. This is why social scientists like myself have jobs. "The math" is not devoid of context. We need to understand what\'s going on with the data before we can start performing any statistical tests.', '>>{MarbhDamhsa} : [The gut]( http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/could-michigan-change-the-course-of-the-gop-race/) > Then again, I have a gut feeling — WHICH YOU SHOULD TOTALLY IGNORE — that Sanders could beat his polling there.', '>>{weightloss89} : It\'s funny how some people aren\'t trying to be like, "There\'s evidence that undocumented immigrants are registered to vote," as if that\'s evidence that this statement from Trump: "In addition to winning the Electoral College in a landslide, I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally" is true.', ">>{n0whereman} : Your analysis is quite interesting and I think you make some great points. However, why would exit polling be so grossly off for Democrats in these races and be nearly spot on for Republicans? If you look at the exit polling from may of the races this election cycle, this is pretty much what happened. I am genuinely interested in what might cause this if it is not fraud. Seemingly, Trump produces a similar degree of enthusiasm among his supporters as Bernie does for his supporters. If it's truly the enthusiastic supporters skewing the numbers shouldn't there be skew in exit polling for both Bernie and Trump? Article detailing exit polling results and discrepancies: https://medium.com/@spencergundert/hillary-clinton-and-electoral-fraud-992ad9e080f6#.74zuwf7w8", ">>{dinvgamma} : Well, most simply, they're just different elections and different electorates. First, it's much easier to get a good sense of delegate math in winner-take-all states, so we just don't notice as much when exit polls are off by 5 percentage points but it doesn't affect who got all of the delegates. In Democratic contests, that 5pp could produce big swings in the delegate math. In addition, the GOP contests have been more lopsided: if you predict 37 Trump, 13 Cruz, 4 Kasich and miss by about 10pp, you still have a clear Trump win. If you predict 55 HRC and 45 Bernie and you're off by 10pp, you might get a Bernie win. Second, it's much harder to predict turnout among the Democratic electorate. GOP voters -- mainly, but not exclusively, middle and upper class white people -- turn out at pretty consistent rates. So if you know their preferences, you have a good sense of what the vote breakdown will look like. Democratic voting blocs (blacks, latinos, poor people, young people) are typically much harder to predict. They turn up in presidential years but not mid-terms, they show up for charismatic candidates (Obama) but not necessarily others (Gore), etc. These factors make it harder to weight the exit polls to match who you think voted.", '>>{n0whereman} : Thanks for the breakdown, I really appreciate the response! The more disparate electorate for democrats leading to less predictable exit polling does make a good bit of logical sense. However, in many of these contests the end results have been off by greater than the margin of error for the exit polls. Could the reason for such discrepancies really be boiled down to an inhomogeneous electorate? How much would you expect absentee voting to also play into final results?

MoE is a function of sample size and variation in the observed data, but the issues I raised are essentially sampling/measurement error. Let\'s say a prediction has a MoE of +/-4pp, but turns out to be off by 8pp. Then your question is better understood as asking: "could [weighting problems] account for 4pp, to make the outcome within the MoE?" And to this I say: absolutely. I think absentee voting alone could account for 4-6pp, even without the enthusiasm gap.', '>>{salisburymistake} : > Because some states only require a drivers license number to be recorded to register to vote, or apply for an absentee ballot, the illegal registrations "are not necessarily picked up," he said.

A steady stream of articles over the past nine months has examined the challenges of the polling industry, pointing to highly visible failures, the rise of cell phones and the decline of response rates. And indeed, in Michigan and Indiana the polls were wrong for the Democratic primary, although not for the Republican primary. These articles raise some good points. Reporting does tend to seize on the most surprising poll which is, in fact, more likely an outlier than harbinger of a dramatic new trend. And there are technical and economic issues affecting the polling industry that are cause for serious concern. Yet for all the claims of broken polls, little direct evidence has been provided. Yes, response rates are down but has accuracy suffered as a result? Yes, polls differ from one another, but are “wild fluctuations” more common? I’ve examined all the presidential general election polling since 2000 — which is 2,056 polls in all. These data tell a very different story, however. The polls aren’t “broken” after all. The graph below plots the Democratic candidate’s share minus the Republican candidate’s share. Each gray point is a poll. The blue line is a trend — estimates via what is called “local regression”— that tracks the polling average over the election. [Graph](http://i.imgur.com/zmJn52b.jpg) The most important point is that the gray dots, the individual polls, are scattered around the trend line. This scatter is the measure of how much variation we get from the polls beyond what is due to the changes in trend over time. On any given day, some polls are above the trend and some below. This means one can always find “disagreement” among the polls. And when the trend is close to zero — that is, close to a tied race — then we find some polls with one party ahead and some with the other ahead. But how variable are the polls around the trend, and has this variation become larger, as the claim that polling is broken or wildly variable would suggest? To answer that question, subtract the trend estimate on the day the poll was completed from the poll result. This is called the “residual” and is a measure of the deviation of each poll from the trend. If polls have become increasingly unreliable over the past 16 years, we should see more variation around the trend, and the residuals should become more spread out in recent elections compared to earlier ones. If 2016 is especially bad for polls, this year should be clearly more variable. The next graph plots the residuals against time for each election. [Graph](http://imgur.com/SuWeC6c.jpg) There is no evidence that the variation in residuals has changed substantially since 2000. The variation tends to decrease closer to elections but the overall spread of the residuals has been relatively consistent across the five elections, including 2016 so far. Are current polls producing more outliers — that is, results further from the trend than we would expect due to normal sampling variation? If the residuals were perfectly normally distributed —that is, they precisely followed a “bell curve”— we would expect 5 percent of the polls to be more than 2 standard deviations away from the trend. Over the five elections the actual percentage of polls this far away ranges from 4.7 to 5.9 percent, with an average of 5.3 percent. In 2016 so far, what percent of the polls are outliers, by this standard: 5.3 percent. There is no evidence that 2016 is producing more outliers than previous campaign polls. Moreover, the variation in the polls isn’t increasing over time. The standard deviation of the residuals — which captures this variation — hasn’t become larger year over year. And 2016 is not out of line with previous years. If polling were seriously broken, or exhibiting wild fluctuations, we would expect to see more variability this year than previously. We do not. Another way to look at the variation is to plot the distribution of deviations from the trend for each year. If some years are markedly different from others we should see that in the figure. Specifically we should see a wider, or “fatter,” distribution for 2016 compared to previous years if polls have developed more “wild fluctuations.” [Graph](http://imgur.com/vwtad2S.jpg) There is not much difference among the five election years. The standard deviation varies a bit, but there is no evidence that “one of these is not like the others.” There is no statistically significant difference in the variance of 2016 polling compared to that of previous years. If we take all five years of polling together, a few rules of thumb emerge for how often we see polls far from the overall trend. Rounding a bit and making the range symmetric for simplicity, a pretty good summary of the polls is this: Half of the polls are within +/- 2 points of the trend. 75% of the polls are within +/- 3.4 points of the trend. 90% of the polls are within +/- 5.2 points of the trend 95% of the polls are within +/- 6.4 points of the trend So if you see a poll that is 5 points or more away from the trend, it may well turn out to be an outlier. But variation within 3 points of the trend is pretty common. So when the trend is, say, +2 for a candidate, expect to see most polls fall between -1 and +5. The -1 isn’t an outlier and neither is the +5. Both are consistent with a +2 race. But a -4 or a +8 should arouse some doubt. The thing about trends is they can change. What looks like an outlier today could be the first poll picking up a shift in support. But until it is joined by other polls, together moving the trend estimate, be skeptical. Telling an outlier from a harbinger is nearly impossible based on a single poll. Some patience is required while more data accumulate, certainly a challenge in a world of instant news and analysis. But when two, then three then four polls are all below the previous trend, the evidence becomes more convincing. To be clear, there are real challenges facing the polling industry. But there has been more rhetoric than evidence for the thesis that “polling is broken.” So far, the national polls in 2016 look a great deal like those from the past four presidential elections. Charles Franklin is Director of the Marquette Law School Poll and a Professor of Law and Public Policy at Marquette Law School.', '>>{Drunkenmoba} : But Math: https://richardcharnin.wordpress.com/2016/03/16/five-democratic-primaries-exit-poll-discrepancies-and-win-probabilities/ Yes, this guy comes off a bit crazy, but his math checks out. In short, there is a nasty discrepancy in exit polls that would say: The exit polls are not broken, the results are.', '>>{dinvgamma} : Two remarks: first, Franklin (in the article I posted) is talking about polls, not exit polls. Second, it\'s far, far more likely that exit polls are off due to mis-weighting. For a good discussion of how weights can skew predicted results, read the British Polling Council\'s recent [analysis](http://eprints.ncrm.ac.uk/3789/1/Report_final_revised.pdf) of the 2015 general election, in which the opposite happened (polls were wrong, exit polls were right). Edit: actually, let me expand, having spent more time on the site you linked, since I\'ve heard a lot of this from Sanders supporters. The problem is that he\'s assuming that the exit polls are a perfect random sample of all voters. If this were true, then the observed probability of the results, given the exit polls, would indeed be very improbable. (Though even then, it would be false to conclude that there\'s X% probability it was fraud; there\'s no evidence of any specific mechanisms producing an improbable outcome.) But we know that the exit polls aren\'t accurate reflections of voting behavior, for at least two reasons. First, we know that HRC wins handily in mail-ins, but Bernie does better on election day. Exit polls won\'t capture anyone who voted ahead of time, skewing the results toward Bernie. Second, exit polls are typically biased toward a candidate whose supporters are more vocal/enthusiastic about their candidate, since they\'re more willing to take the time to fill out the slip saying whom they voted for. Again, in this context, that produces bias toward Bernie. This is why social scientists like myself have jobs. "The math" is not devoid of context. We need to understand what\'s going on with the data before we can start performing any statistical tests.', '>>{MarbhDamhsa} : [The gut]( http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/could-michigan-change-the-course-of-the-gop-race/) > Then again, I have a gut feeling — WHICH YOU SHOULD TOTALLY IGNORE — that Sanders could beat his polling there.', ">>{n0whereman} : Your analysis is quite interesting and I think you make some great points. However, why would exit polling be so grossly off for Democrats in these races and be nearly spot on for Republicans? If you look at the exit polling from may of the races this election cycle, this is pretty much what happened. I am genuinely interested in what might cause this if it is not fraud. Seemingly, Trump produces a similar degree of enthusiasm among his supporters as Bernie does for his supporters. If it's truly the enthusiastic supporters skewing the numbers shouldn't there be skew in exit polling for both Bernie and Trump? Article detailing exit polling results and discrepancies: https://medium.com/@spencergundert/hillary-clinton-and-electoral-fraud-992ad9e080f6#.74zuwf7w8", ">>{dinvgamma} : Well, most simply, they're just different elections and different electorates. First, it's much easier to get a good sense of delegate math in winner-take-all states, so we just don't notice as much when exit polls are off by 5 percentage points but it doesn't affect who got all of the delegates. In Democratic contests, that 5pp could produce big swings in the delegate math. In addition, the GOP contests have been more lopsided: if you predict 37 Trump, 13 Cruz, 4 Kasich and miss by about 10pp, you still have a clear Trump win. If you predict 55 HRC and 45 Bernie and you're off by 10pp, you might get a Bernie win. Second, it's much harder to predict turnout among the Democratic electorate. GOP voters -- mainly, but not exclusively, middle and upper class white people -- turn out at pretty consistent rates. So if you know their preferences, you have a good sense of what the vote breakdown will look like. Democratic voting blocs (blacks, latinos, poor people, young people) are typically much harder to predict. They turn up in presidential years but not mid-terms, they show up for charismatic candidates (Obama) but not necessarily others (Gore), etc. These factors make it harder to weight the exit polls to match who you think voted.", '>>{n0whereman} : Thanks for the breakdown, I really appreciate the response! The more disparate electorate for democrats leading to less predictable exit polling does make a good bit of logical sense. However, in many of these contests the end results have been off by greater than the margin of error for the exit polls. Could the reason for such discrepancies really be boiled down to an inhomogeneous electorate? How much would you expect absentee voting to also play into final results? There were articles posted earlier this election season regarding Clinton being heavily favored in absentee voting.', ">>{Drunkenmoba} : Okay, that is a given. In fact this guy had an interview over at Redacted Tonight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmYYvZASoks He even addresses and talks about your points. More fun, let us take New York primary (one of the best ones for bad skewing), the early voting in NY is one of the hardest because it still requires IN PERSON voting with Judge Approval (in short you go to vote, get a judge to say 'yeah you're too old to come out and wait in lines' and bam, but still not a short trip).", '>>{dinvgamma} : To be clear, to my knowledge, the margin of error (MoE) doesn\'t take into account the things I\'ve just said. MoE is a function of sample size and variation in the observed data, but the issues I raised are essentially sampling/measurement error. Let\'s say a prediction has a MoE of +/-4pp, but turns out to be off by 8pp. Then your question is better understood as asking: "could [weighting problems] account for 4pp, to make the outcome within the MoE?" And to this I say: absolutely. I think absentee voting alone could account for 4-6pp, even without the enthusiasm gap.'], [">>{speaktodragons} : Ex-ICE Agent: I 'Routinely' Arrested Illegal Immigrants with Voter Registrations", '>>{Bhantl01} : All the more reason to do a nation-wide election audit!', ">>{pissbum-emeritus} : >Ex-ICE Agent: I Routinely Tell Bald-Faced Lies in Exchange for 'Consulting Fees'", '>>{SaltHash} : GOP/Fox TV wants their viewers to question everything and everybody except their unsubstantiated claims.', '>>{pabange} : Good point.

Could be nothing, could be something, but we, the voters, deserve to know. Most enraging is the fact that fucking Congress knew about this before the election, an no one said shit because McConnell, little fuckface that he is, threatened to make it a partisan issue.

The whole government\'s been fucked, the election process has been tampered with and half the fucking country is saying that\'s okay because their guy won. It\'s bullshit.

It's not to affect any change in the electoral college vote, that's not (practically) possible. So anyone on either side pushing a narrative that all of this discussion about Russian interference is an attempt to influence the EC is trying to hide the real agenda. What is it?

Moreover that\'s troubling as fuck for the same reasons Clinton\'s email server was troubling, if someone hacked it and we don\'t know the full extent we don\'t know what kind of leverage the hackers might have over party or elected officials. Could be nothing, could be something, but we, the voters, deserve to know. Most enraging is the fact that fucking Congress knew about this before the election, an no one said shit because McConnell, little fuckface that he is, threatened to make it a partisan issue.

The whole government\'s been fucked, the election process has been tampered with and half the fucking country is saying that\'s okay because their guy won. It\'s bullshit.

It's not to affect any change in the electoral college vote, that's not (practically) possible. So anyone on either side pushing a narrative that all of this discussion about Russian interference is an attempt to influence the EC is trying to hide the real agenda. What is it?

Do they actually think this is going to work?', '>>{TheCaptainDamnIt} : My personal thoughts are that in the U.S. a lot of christianity IS a political/economic system much more than it\'s a \'biblical\' religion. This is why there are so many things that you must also follow to be a \'true christian\' that have noting to do with (or in many cases are contrary) to what\'s in the bible. From hating gays, to loving unrestricted access to guns, to trickle down economics, to hating immigrates, to foreign policy, to blaming \'hollywood\', to watching FOX news, to fearing black people, to driving large vehicles and loving country music (for some reason). All these things political things are now just part of the christian religion for many. And It\'s why so many rants by religious figures contain off the track attacks on "liberals". Trump ticks a lot of those boxes. But it started with those awful calvinist/puritans that first started the belief (in the U.S.) in predestination, believing that god shows who his favored people are by bestowing wealth on them. From the beginning much of U.S. christianity has looked upon the rich as being inherently better people in all regards by the very nature of them being rich. A wealthy man to an american christian must have been ‘blessed’ by god, and to be blessed one must be ‘morally supers’ by definition. Of course the opposite then becomes that for this version of christianity the poor then by definition are ‘morally corrupt’ ‘lazy’ and ‘cursed by god’. Everyone gets what they deserve according to these people, and no amount of ‘work’ or ‘moral restraint’ done by the individual actually matters, it’s all about the economic outcome that tells them how to judge the character of a person (and why black people where viewed as cursed because they where slaves, if god had loved them, he wouldn’t have made them slaves). Now take this already disgusting theology and add in the “Red Scare” and cold war attempts to wrap the U.S. flag around the cross and you get where we are today. A christianity that claims to worship christ, but actually worships the wealthy. A christianity that claims to follow the teachings of christ, but loathes, hates, and blames the ‘cursed’ poor. A christianity that is more about following ‘the market’ than about their ‘god’. They have become more a religon of Ayn Rand than Jesus. When viewed through this lenses the Creflo Dollar’s not only make perfect sense, but are a logical conclusion of U.S. christianity. It explains why we don\'t have universal healthcare (if god wanted to help those poor people he would make them rich enough to afford to see the doctor) It explains so many things non-americans find contradictory about us. It explains the (now growing) backlash to Pope Francis (who preaches the exact opposite). It explains my favorite contradiction, that those christians here who refuse to accept evolution as true, are often the biggest proponents of social Darwinistic economics(the social darwinistic language that comes out of Christianity today is astounding). Hell it even explains Donald Trump (may christians look at his wealth as making him right, a \'winner\' with gods \'blessings\')! I sometimes wonder if U.S. christians will ever wake up to what they have become, but since these beliefs have become so prevalent here that even non-christians are wrapped up in them I fear we’re just screwed as a society and it all started at the beginning.', ">>{TannerHill} : I used this place for recovering data off my mothers iPhone 6 Plus after the phone was bent.

This is why there are so many things that you must also follow to be a \'true christian\' that have noting to do with (or in many cases are contrary) to what\'s in the bible. From hating gays, to loving unrestricted access to guns, to trickle down economics, to hating immigrates, to foreign policy, to blaming \'hollywood\', to watching FOX news, to fearing black people, to driving large vehicles and loving country music (for some reason). All these things political things are now just part of the christian religion for many. And It\'s why so many rants by religious figures contain off the track attacks on "liberals". Trump ticks a lot of those boxes. But it started with those awful calvinist/puritans that first started the belief (in the U.S.) in predestination, believing that god shows who his favored people are by bestowing wealth on them. From the beginning much of U.S. christianity has looked upon the rich as being inherently better people in all regards by the very nature of them being rich. A wealthy man to an american christian must have been ‘blessed’ by god, and to be blessed one must be ‘morally supers’ by definition. Of course the opposite then becomes that for this version of christianity the poor then by definition are ‘morally corrupt’ ‘lazy’ and ‘cursed by god’. Everyone gets what they deserve according to these people, and no amount of ‘work’ or ‘moral restraint’ done by the individual actually matters, it’s all about the economic outcome that tells them how to judge the character of a person (and why black people where viewed as cursed because they where slaves, if god had loved them, he wouldn’t have made them slaves). Now take this already disgusting theology and add in the “Red Scare” and cold war attempts to wrap the U.S. flag around the cross and you get where we are today. A christianity that claims to worship christ, but actually worships the wealthy. A christianity that claims to follow the teachings of christ, but loathes, hates, and blames the ‘cursed’ poor. A christianity that is more about following ‘the market’ than about their ‘god’. They have become more a religon of Ayn Rand than Jesus. When viewed through this lenses the Creflo Dollar’s not only make perfect sense, but are a logical conclusion of U.S. christianity. It explains why we don\'t have universal healthcare (if god wanted to help those poor people he would make them rich enough to afford to see the doctor) It explains so many things non-americans find contradictory about us. It explains the (now growing) backlash to Pope Francis (who preaches the exact opposite). It explains my favorite contradiction, that those christians here who refuse to accept evolution as true, are often the biggest proponents of social Darwinistic economics(the social darwinistic language that comes out of Christianity today is astounding). Hell it even explains Donald Trump (may christians look at his wealth as making him right, a \'winner\' with gods \'blessings\')! I sometimes wonder if U.S. christians will ever wake up to what they have become, but since these beliefs have become so prevalent here that even non-christians are wrapped up in them I fear we’re just screwed as a society and it all started at the beginning.', ">>{getridofappleskitle} : just keep distancing yourself guys, it's working great so far! /s", ">>{balmergrl} : My new favorite is an old favorite Jim Bakker, at first I thought it was a Christopher Guest skit or some kind of joke they are so wacky - and I didn't recognize Jim with the facial hair he now sports and his current show is a big step down from PTL heydays.

If you're incapable of seeing similarity, maybe you aren't seeing clearly enough. How about the fact that they're both white corporate elites from NYC running for president of a major party? Not even remotely comparable, you say?", ">>{teuobk} : Two big reasons: 1. The original NES zapper uses a modified IR receiver chip on it that has a bandpass filter for about 15 kHz, which is roughly the horizontal refresh rate of PAL and NTSC CRT TVs, i.e., the rate at which the electron beam scans back and forth across the screen as it paints one field. That's one of the ways that the gun knows you're pointing it at a TV instead of, say, a light bulb. LCD TVs don't have an electron beam that scans back and forth, so they don't produce that 15 kHz signal, so the light that they do emit falls outside of the bandpass filter. 2. The Duck Hunt code timing is very tight, and the delay path in LCD TVs screws that up. As a rough outline, the game first debounces the zapper trigger, then paints one black field (not frame, i.e., 16.7 ms, not 33.4 ms), then paints a white rectangle at the location of the first duck for one field (not frame), then paints a white rectangle at the second duck for one field, then resumes the normal display of the meadow scene. The game looks for the black (dark) value to appear at the expected time (to verify that the gun is pointed at the screen) and then whether the white (light) signals appear at the expected times to determine if the zapper was pointed at each duck. Since modern TVs have input lags [of about 10 ms at best](http://www.displaylag.com/display-database/), the time that the relevant data appears on the screen is well after the game expects it to be there, so the game doesn't work. However, there are ways to make this work. First, modify the zapper to use some other signal that happens to be unique to LCD TVs. Second, patch Duck Hunt to allow it to tolerate more delay.

You guys still haven\'t gotten over the fact that clinton lost. You blame bernie, despite him conceding at the convention and doing everything he could do to get Clinton elected. Yet she still lost. That isn\'t his fault, that\'s hers. She was the one running during the general, she was the one who was supposed to make the case to voters. No one is entitled to our votes, our vote goes to who we choose. She lost key states, many of which voted democrat before in previous elections. Are your heads so far up your asses that you can\'t see that she lost not because of racism, sexism, etc but because people were sick and tired of the same old same old? I\'m not saying trump is great, or even good. He\'s obviously unqualified. But he won key states because 1) most people didn\'t vote, either because they didn\'t care if felt it wouldn\'t matter, and I don\'t blame them. We had 2 of the worst candidates in american history. 2) the people that did vote placed their votes based on what they felt was best. This was an election of voting against someone, not for someone. People that voted against clinton voted for trump because they didn\'t trust her. People that voted against trump voted for clinton because of Trump\'s rhetoric. 3) neither side handled this shit right. Both sides treated people like shit. And that pushed voters into doubling down. There was no discussion going on, just name calling and childish bullshit. You people want to do something? Fight back. Protest. Call your representatives. Stop this blame game. Stop the shit slinging. Only way we are gonna get past this is to stand the fuck up and say no more. I\'ve heard blame go to voters, bernie, third parties, racism, sexism, but never anyone saying "you know what? We could have handled this better. We could have made sure we had the democratic vote. We could have made sure people went out to vote. We could have made a better case." edit: to the people downvoting me, instead of hiding behind an anonymous up or downvote, why not actually respond to what i\'m saying? We need to have a serious discussion about this, without the condescending attitude if you could. We\'ve hit the point of no return with trump in office, various roles in government being given to people that are unqualified or have disqualified themselves but given that power anyways, and a republican led congress. We need to have some serious discussions about what we are going to do, how we\'re going to do it, etc. And the future of the democratic party is also in the balance. During the primaries, you guys talked about clinton being a better choice because she could talk across the isle, so lets see you guys do it by reaching out and talking to people. I\'ll admit i\'m a sanders supporter, but when push came to shove i swallowed my pride and voted clinton, though begrudgingly. I can\'t speak for all sanders supporters, only myself. But I will say that I want to see the democratic party succeed, but only if its willing on being inclusive to everyone, and that needs to start from the bottom up, with people calling themselves democrats dropping this partisan game of excluding people like me who would love to join your party, but is constantly lambasted for speaking out about concerns within the party. I want the democratic party to be DEMOCRATIC, so lets discuss. No more childing shit slinging, no more blame. Lets act like adults. I\'m willing to forgive those for calling me a child, saying I didn\'t know anything, saying I don\'t belong in the democratic party because i\'m not a real democrat, saying my views are "pie in the sky", making assumptions on my character or motivations based on who i supported, making assumptions on my race or views on women..

But wouldn't you be able to compensate this if you build a new system? Measure the delay and read the photosensor x µs after trigger is pressed.", ">>{teuobk} : Two big reasons: 1. The original NES zapper uses a modified IR receiver chip on it that has a bandpass filter for about 15 kHz, which is roughly the horizontal refresh rate of PAL and NTSC CRT TVs, i.e., the rate at which the electron beam scans back and forth across the screen as it paints one field. That's one of the ways that the gun knows you're pointing it at a TV instead of, say, a light bulb. LCD TVs don't have an electron beam that scans back and forth, so they don't produce that 15 kHz signal, so the light that they do emit falls outside of the bandpass filter. 2. The Duck Hunt code timing is very tight, and the delay path in LCD TVs screws that up. As a rough outline, the game first debounces the zapper trigger, then paints one black field (not frame, i.e., 16.7 ms, not 33.4 ms), then paints a white rectangle at the location of the first duck for one field (not frame), then paints a white rectangle at the second duck for one field, then resumes the normal display of the meadow scene. The game looks for the black (dark) value to appear at the expected time (to verify that the gun is pointed at the screen) and then whether the white (light) signals appear at the expected times to determine if the zapper was pointed at each duck. Since modern TVs have input lags [of about 10 ms at best](http://www.displaylag.com/display-database/), the time that the relevant data appears on the screen is well after the game expects it to be there, so the game doesn't work. However, there are ways to make this work. First, modify the zapper to use some other signal that happens to be unique to LCD TVs. Second, patch Duck Hunt to allow it to tolerate more delay.

CRT's had no image pre processing so you saw what you got as the signal was sent. LCD have preprocessing and depending on the chips and circuitry of the board in the TV it will be a different amount of time. Thats why some TV's have a game function, it limits the preprocessing that happens to try to make the latency of what the TV puts out and what comes up on the TV as small as possible. But even still there is some. I used to play most single player games on my LCD TV as it didnt matter much but when going online I would move it to my CRT TV which helped me have a slight advantage as there was a serious delay on my LCD. Each TV model could be slightly different and when you're talking millisecond sampling you cant make it universal, so it would need to be calibrated for each TV and even then, if you change some setting on the TV it could screw it up all over again and need to be recalibrated.", '>>{ricer333} : Same here, my entire life I never had a clue', ">>{MaceZilla} : I almost wouldn't believe it if I didn't see it.

No one is entitled to our votes, our vote goes to who we choose. She lost key states, many of which voted democrat before in previous elections. Are your heads so far up your asses that you can\'t see that she lost not because of racism, sexism, etc but because people were sick and tired of the same old same old? I\'m not saying trump is great, or even good. He\'s obviously unqualified. But he won key states because 1) most people didn\'t vote, either because they didn\'t care if felt it wouldn\'t matter, and I don\'t blame them. We had 2 of the worst candidates in american history. 2) the people that did vote placed their votes based on what they felt was best. This was an election of voting against someone, not for someone. People that voted against clinton voted for trump because they didn\'t trust her. People that voted against trump voted for clinton because of Trump\'s rhetoric. 3) neither side handled this shit right. Both sides treated people like shit. And that pushed voters into doubling down. There was no discussion going on, just name calling and childish bullshit. You people want to do something? Fight back. Protest. Call your representatives. Stop this blame game. Stop the shit slinging. Only way we are gonna get past this is to stand the fuck up and say no more. I\'ve heard blame go to voters, bernie, third parties, racism, sexism, but never anyone saying "you know what? We could have handled this better. We could have made sure we had the democratic vote. We could have made sure people went out to vote. We could have made a better case." edit: to the people downvoting me, instead of hiding behind an anonymous up or downvote, why not actually respond to what i\'m saying?

We\'ve hit the point of no return with trump in office, various roles in government being given to people that are unqualified or have disqualified themselves but given that power anyways, and a republican led congress. We need to have some serious discussions about what we are going to do, how we\'re going to do it, etc. And the future of the democratic party is also in the balance. During the primaries, you guys talked about clinton being a better choice because she could talk across the isle, so lets see you guys do it by reaching out and talking to people. I\'ll admit i\'m a sanders supporter, but when push came to shove i swallowed my pride and voted clinton, though begrudgingly. I can\'t speak for all sanders supporters, only myself. But I will say that I want to see the democratic party succeed, but only if its willing on being inclusive to everyone, and that needs to start from the bottom up, with people calling themselves democrats dropping this partisan game of excluding people like me who would love to join your party, but is constantly lambasted for speaking out about concerns within the party. I want the democratic party to be DEMOCRATIC, so lets discuss. No more childing shit slinging, no more blame. Lets act like adults. I\'m willing to forgive those for calling me a child, saying I didn\'t know anything, saying I don\'t belong in the democratic party because i\'m not a real democrat, saying my views are "pie in the sky", making assumptions on my character or motivations based on who i supported, making assumptions on my race or views on women..

Here, benefits were most noticeable after 24-32 hours of continuous wakefulness. A French study yielded similar results and found that for missions of about 24 hours, modafinil for soldiers is preferable to naps. > In the U.S. military, modafinil has been approved for use on certain Air Force missions.

Her highest elected position is on a local town council. Would you promote a Freshman Bio major to Surgeon General because "she had some good ideas?" I\'m sorry but it bothers me that people think the Presidency is a job that anybody can just step into without any legislative or executive experience. Forget politics. I\'m talking about understanding the process of lawmaking and understanding the more complicated aspects of our government. Obama was a constitutional scholar ffs. I\'m legitimately concerned that she doesn\'t understand the economy. She opposed raising the debt ceiling - which tells me she has a fundamentally flawed understanding of the national debt. Free higher public education is a mirage. It helps those who can already afford college more than those who can\'t because it conveniently ignores what really prevents people from affording college. Housing, food, books, laptops and the opportunity cost of not working. Her idea to institute quantitative easing to forgive student loan debt just doesn\'t make sense. She can\'t even explain it. This is what she said about it: > magic trick that basically people don\'t need to understand any more about than that it is a magic trick I mean, jesus, she may as well be selling snake oil. Beyond that, I personally think that her military policy is a joke. Close all overseas bases and cut spending by at least 50%? Beyond the obvious, can we talk about what she plans to do with the influx of recently unemployed and disgruntled young men with weapons training? What will they do for work? I simply don\'t agree with her from a strategic perspective but I suppose that\'s a fairly legitimate disagreement (though I don\'t know where she has the credibility to speak on foreign relations..at all). As for Johnson, I\'m sorry but those aren\'t gaffes. The President\'s primary responsibility is our foreign relations. The election is a job interview.

(sosumi) As for judging whether the improvements are worth it for the MBP - I'll have to wait and see what the reviewers say. There's Apple's claimed performance improvements which are pretty damn good, but those are probably under optimal conditions. As for connectivity - put it like this: It's well suited for the future. 4 TB3 ports (so 2 5K monitors? Why not?), although power is also provided through there as well (so long MagSafe!), so if you don't have an external device that can also power over that connection (some monitors can, for instance), you'll need one of the ports to provide power to the MacBook itself.

While I worry about the Hindu-nationalist aspects of his party, Prime Minister Narendra Singh Modi seems to be doing an alright job in India. Angela Merkel has not only kept Europe afloat during some seriously turbulent economic times but Germany is one of the engines of the global economy. If we take it further back in history. Deng Xiaopeng is certainly a complicated figure but you have to respect how diligently he transformed China from a communist country into one of the largest capitalist economies in the world. Similarly, Lee Kwan Yu in Singapore didn't exactly run a liberal democracy but he lso created one of the most successful and richest countries on the planet, in like...50 years. Obviously a figure like Neslon Mandela stands out. Frankly, I can name far more foreign leaders who were idiots, despots, assholes etc. But again, it bothers me that a Presidential candidate knows less about major international relations players than I do. It's one thing if he doesn't completely understand the dynamics behind the India-Pakistan conflict or the proxy groups involved or the history of the conflict.

At least, the changes from the SP 3 to 4 was way better than the upgrade for the new macbook', '>>{astalavista114} : I think part of the problem is that every time there is a major Apple announcement (like the one just gone) a ton of people come to read the sub. Unfortunately, some of them come to just argue how terrible Apple are (sometimes for reasonable reasons, like wanting their headphone jacks [I\'m on the fence there. Its probably a touch too early really, but someone major has to make the leap, and if Apple doesn\'t, I don\'t think anyone will really go for it] to unreasonable ones like "OMG the retina MacBooks only have core-M processors and that means they are shit."), and that - particularly the latter - gets people\'s hackles up. Do I like *everything* Apple has ever done, or even everything they\'ve done in the last couple of years? No. For one, they\'ve really got to clean up their naming scheme across their products (the MacBooks are getting there with the death of the 11 inch MBA - although the absolute bottom end new MBP doesn\'t help things much), particularly in the iPad line - iPad Mini (one size), iPad Air (one size), iPad Pro (two sizes, one of which is the same as the Air). Get your shit together! And I would like the Cheese Grater back too. Yeah, the Trash Can looks neat, but it isn\'t as extendable as the Grater was. But on the whole, they\'re doing pretty good.', '>>{astalavista114} : Let me guess - WWDC, when they *always* highlight that the majority of the Apple Userbase are on the latest version of their OSes (and that users of other OSes are not) to encourage devs (which is primarily who they are presenting to) to use the new features they are announcing? A couple of times at other events they\'ve done about 30 seconds on sales numbers and just said "Well, we sold a shit tonne of products and everyone is using 10.WhateverTheMostRecentVersionIs and iOS Whichever. Here\'s new stuff!", and therefore they should always do that. Right?', ">>{mayaisme} : Sometimes I think /r/apple is made up of more android users than iPhone users. It's almost like it's a sub to hate on apple", ">>{astalavista114} : To be fair, the SP3 needed a *lot* of improvements to deal with its issues. Performance and spec wise, I actually quite like the SP4, and I think it's a fantastic device, but it's not the right device for me (Windows is the killer, unfortunately - although I do have a desktop running Windows for when I need it). (sosumi) As for judging whether the improvements are worth it for the MBP - I'll have to wait and see what the reviewers say. There's Apple's claimed performance improvements which are pretty damn good, but those are probably under optimal conditions. As for connectivity - put it like this: It's well suited for the future. 4 TB3 ports (so 2 5K monitors? Why not?), although power is also provided through there as well (so long MagSafe!), so if you don't have an external device that can also power over that connection (some monitors can, for instance), you'll need one of the ports to provide power to the MacBook itself. But in the here and now, it's a bit like the headphone jack on the iPhone - probably a year or two too soon, but because they've done it others will follow, making the change to USB-C and Thunderbolt 3 actually happen (hopefully).", ">>{iranintoavan} : I would argue yes. Basically the same price spec wise. Likely better build quality. Much better trackpad and keyboard. Bigger and better quality screen. 4 thunderbolt 3 ports. Much faster storage. Runs macOS. I suppose if you really want to use it as a tablet it wins but from what I've heard it's not very good at being a tablet.", ">>{tombiscuit} : One of the massive flaws of Reddit is that there can only be one /r/Apple, and all subreddits are governed by moderators who are unaccountable and unelected. It's nearly impossible to track and question moderator decisions unless they happen to you. And some subreddits have an enormous amount of power.", ">>{DaytonaZ33} : Trust me, it's mostly because trolls use /r/apple. Around any keynote or product launch it's basically impossible to have any sort of real reaction from Apple fans, as it's all people from other subs coming to say the same things over and over. Jobs rolling in grave, Apple is doomed, etc etc.", '>>{tensai_76} : A reflection of human society through the corridors of history.', '>>{DJ-Salinger} : Thankfully, no one can lie on the internet.', ">>{DJ-Salinger} : /r/Apple near a keynote is much different than what it's normally like.", '>>{DocFunkinstein} : As a recent convert this sub is also better than r/android as well. The android circle jerk sub Reddit I feed better for info and comments', ">>{hanssone777} : /apple and /android is a shitfest with fanboys from both sides arguing in a keyboard warrior's battlefield. /googlepixel is a more nicer side of android, so go figure yeah", ">>{neoookami} : Probably better to compare the Surface Book to the MacBook Pro really, since both are laptops first. Especially when both have base models at the same price point. (Though you can go cheaper on the Surface Book if you go with half the storage.) With the Surface you're passing on the dedicated GPU in the keyboard at that price point. With the MBP you're passing on the Touch Bar and getting half as many Thunderbolt ports", '>>{DJ-Salinger} : Yea...the day after is still near the Keynote.', ">>{Atlas26} : I'm a windows user, but it's at least ballpark competitive...to me, anyway.", '>>{Atlas26} : What do you mean by technically ignorant? In what ways?', '>>{tombiscuit} : Literally by creating the subreddit, or asking an existing mod if you can join them.', '>>{KuKuMacadoo} : As an Apple guy, I much prefer /r/Android. The Apple community in general is terrible on Reddit.', '>>{pongmanJ25} : You\'re right about that! I was perusing that sub last night, digesting the blowback from the Apple Special Event and I came across a question about an iPhone--a mundane and honest question but valid nonetheless. I forget the question, but one of the comments was like (paraphrasing), "You know, if questions like these frequent the Subreddit too much, then it becomes bland and useless; if they don\'t have the sense to use the search feature, then they\'re dumb." As I see it, the more posts, the merrier! The more questions, even better!

I thought this WAS r/apple until just now...'], [">>{JimLahee} : I wish I liked any of the candidates enough to vote. The third party candidates are even weak. Johnson can't stop fucking up on foreign policy. Jill Stein is unqualified and too immature to be president. And Donald and Hillary are pretty self-explanatory.

And writing them in, in most states, they will just get thrown out.", ">>{JimLahee} : How many are actually going to be on the ballots and actually counted though? You can use that argument, but unless third parties get recognized to where I can branch out from the green party and libertarian, which won't until we fix our election processes, it's hard to support one of those many candidates, especially when majority won't be on my ballot to vote for.", ">>{nphased} : Why, voting for lesser evils got us here. I'm voting for a third party candidate this year. The two major candidates are just not qualified.", '>>{BattleofAlgiers} : Not this millennial. Donald is not getting those nuclear codes.', '>>{BattleofAlgiers} : So Jill Stein and Gary "literally knows nothing about international relations" Johnson are?', '>>{Antnee83} : Millennials are most likely to not remember what happened in 2000.', ">>{nphased} : I like Jill's plan of stepping back from so many foreign entanglements. We're on track to spend 6 Trillion dollars on our foreign wars!! I'll take her plan over Clinton who is an expert in state affairs but is a war hawk. Clinton is the smart person who doesn't have any wisdom. I think people are being a bit unfair to Gary especially on the first issue, but the second gaffe is going to hurt him.", ">>{kstinfo} : A reasonable person - you won't last long around here.", ">>{JimLahee} : Unfortunately, I agree. I'm not an advocate for Clinton by any means, but a Donald Trump presidency is becoming more realistic and terrifying. And that supreme court nomination is extremely important. If we get another Scalia, we'll be stuck in same boat sinking for an even longer period of time.", ">>{bottomdenominator} : The Dems ran a candidate so boring he couldn't win his home state. That's what happened in 2000. This year they are running one who is so much worse. They'll get what they deserve.", '>>{BattleofAlgiers} : Americans picking their President\'s based on how boring they are and if they\'d like to "drink a beer with them" is the real problem IMO. As you illustrate. The job is hard and complicated. I don\'t want an average joe for a nuclear physicist and I don\'t want an average joe for a President.', '>>{bottomdenominator} : Why did you put quotes on that? Are you quoting someone? If so - could you link it? Maybe Gary needs better writers. Or maybe he should control access so that only the special media gets to ask him questions that he wrote so that he never gets ambushed. What Foreign Leader do you admire?', '>>{BattleofAlgiers} : I get backing out of foreign entanglements, that\'s fair. But I don\'t see how you can argue that Jill Stein is "qualified." Her highest elected position is on a local town council. Would you promote a Freshman Bio major to Surgeon General because "she had some good ideas?" I\'m sorry but it bothers me that people think the Presidency is a job that anybody can just step into without any legislative or executive experience. Forget politics. I\'m talking about understanding the process of lawmaking and understanding the more complicated aspects of our government. Obama was a constitutional scholar ffs. I\'m legitimately concerned that she doesn\'t understand the economy. She opposed raising the debt ceiling - which tells me she has a fundamentally flawed understanding of the national debt. Free higher public education is a mirage. It helps those who can already afford college more than those who can\'t because it conveniently ignores what really prevents people from affording college. Housing, food, books, laptops and the opportunity cost of not working. Her idea to institute quantitative easing to forgive student loan debt just doesn\'t make sense. She can\'t even explain it. This is what she said about it: > magic trick that basically people don\'t need to understand any more about than that it is a magic trick I mean, jesus, she may as well be selling snake oil. Beyond that, I personally think that her military policy is a joke. Close all overseas bases and cut spending by at least 50%? Beyond the obvious, can we talk about what she plans to do with the influx of recently unemployed and disgruntled young men with weapons training? What will they do for work? I simply don\'t agree with her from a strategic perspective but I suppose that\'s a fairly legitimate disagreement (though I don\'t know where she has the credibility to speak on foreign relations..at all). As for Johnson, I\'m sorry but those aren\'t gaffes. The President\'s primary responsibility is our foreign relations. The election is a job interview. This is a man revealing that he is inadequately prepared for the job for which he is applying. If I was his job interviewer, I would have ended the interview right then and there.', '>>{bottomdenominator} : My point was Gore was such a shitty politician that he couldn\'t carry his home state. I wouldn\'t want to drink a beer with anyone who uses drone strikes that kill children to take out our "enemies" in Pakistan. I also wouldn\'t want to have a beer with a racist. To be honest, I don\'t drink. Looks like Gary is my guy.', ">>{liberationation} : If you don't live in a close swing state, your vote will not sway the election. Voting third party has more meaning in those places than elsewhere.", ">>{BattleofAlgiers} : This is the wrong question to ask a person with a degree in International Relations. It's hard to ADMIRE foreign leaders as they are complicated figures. Leaders in general. You don't get to where you are without cracking a few eggs so to speak. I don't admire them because I don't aspire to be them. That said, I do see foreign leaders who I agree with on a high-level philosophically. Canada's Justin Trudeau would be one. While I worry about the Hindu-nationalist aspects of his party, Prime Minister Narendra Singh Modi seems to be doing an alright job in India. Angela Merkel has not only kept Europe afloat during some seriously turbulent economic times but Germany is one of the engines of the global economy. If we take it further back in history. Deng Xiaopeng is certainly a complicated figure but you have to respect how diligently he transformed China from a communist country into one of the largest capitalist economies in the world. Similarly, Lee Kwan Yu in Singapore didn't exactly run a liberal democracy but he lso created one of the most successful and richest countries on the planet, in like...50 years. Obviously a figure like Neslon Mandela stands out. Frankly, I can name far more foreign leaders who were idiots, despots, assholes etc. But again, it bothers me that a Presidential candidate knows less about major international relations players than I do. It's one thing if he doesn't completely understand the dynamics behind the India-Pakistan conflict or the proxy groups involved or the history of the conflict. Those are the kinds of things we have experts for. But knowing important foreign leaders and locations? That's a matter of preparation and just giving a fuck. That was a quote because it's clearly not his real middle name.", ">>{BattleofAlgiers} : Well let's be honest, the only reason Gary won't launch a drone strike in the Middle East is he doesn't know where it is. I can be opposed to drone strikes and have it outweighed by the fact that I don't think that Gary Johnson has the intelligence or understanding to protect us with a dramatically decreased military. He hasn't shown a good enough grasp of international affairs.", '>>{bottomdenominator} : Do you think Obama knows where Aleppo is? What in the hell is he doing about it and how will Hillary handle it any differently? They allow the fires to burn in Aleppo because it suits their endgame. A vote for Hillary is surely a vote for dead children.', '>>{nphased} : I\'ll take Jill over either Clinton or Trump. I\'m not sure what is so magical about legislative experience, all it really means is that you\'ve hung around a lot of lawyers and kicked around in the same halls of power that have given us a leadership that got us here. Our current terrible presidential candidates are proof that the "qualifications" you hold so dear are not the kind of experience that is productive of good decisions. Jill is a medical doctor and an activist, she\'s smart and can organize and has identified key issues for the prosperity of our nation. I\'ll take someone who has the right goals in mind and might make a few mistakes and changes getting there over someone who knows every rule, but somehow keeps managing to do the wrong thing or skirt the spirit and the letter of the rules knowingly.', '>>{BattleofAlgiers} : > Do you think Obama knows where Aleppo is? What in the hell is he doing about it Oh you mean how ISIS is constantly losing territory and resources?', ">>{BattleofAlgiers} : > might make a few mistakes and changes getting there Mistakes made by Presidents are often measured in body counts. It's not magical buddy. Experience makes you better at most jobs. All else being equal, who do you trust as a medical doctor? A first-year intern or an attending physician?", ">>{nphased} : Clinton's body count is already high and she shows irrational signs of looking for more in her foreign policy. Trump - I don't even know what his policies are - take your pick of his many positions.", ">>{choppingbroccolini} : When the two parties are corrupt, you don't have much choice if you wish to respect your values and maintain your integrity."]]

Given that PACs and Super PACs are generally how special interests funnel money into an election, it does seem that Trump is not getting the kind of attention from special interests groups as hillary is. https://www.google.com/search?q=clinton+fundraising&oq=clinton+fundraising&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i60.2663j0j4&sourceid=chrome&es_sm=122&ie=UTF-8 https://www.google.com/search?q=clinton+fundraising&oq=clinton+fundraising&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i60.2663j0j4&sourceid=chrome&es_sm=122&ie=UTF-8#q=trump+fundraising', ">>{Thus_Spoke} : I see your submission of this article didn't fare any better than my own."]]

I am against both, and I would argue both proved their uselessness in 2016. The Superdelegates didn\'t wait until after the primaries to speak. They came out in favor of Clinton so heavily on Day One that nobody, from Bernie to O\'Malley to Chafee, had a fair chance. (To say nothing of other help she got from the DNC, down to proposed character-assassination plays against "athiest" Sanders) When all of the evidence, from polls to potentially prosecutable pitfalls were taken into consideration, the Superdelegates had every objective reason to step in and say, "you know, Clinton won by a narrow margin but only with so much help, and Bernie polls above 10% over Trump," and overturn the will of the "people," which was at best a product of the SD\'s guidance in the first place! So I believe that, since they failed to do their job in putting forward the best candidate, or at least in staying out of the fucking primary until AFTER the vote was held, they should be abolished. Same premise with the Electoral College. They existed for ONE reason - to take the decision-making out of the hands of the people and give them to "the states." Except really this was supposed to prevent a populist madman from rising to power. (See the Federalist Papers for proof of this intent) Guess what? Clinton won an election, but Trump won the selection. Why? Because the EC is a stupid idea that reduces the will of some people in favor of others.

They came out in favor of Clinton so heavily on Day One that nobody, from Bernie to O\'Malley to Chafee, had a fair chance. (To say nothing of other help she got from the DNC, down to proposed character-assassination plays against "athiest" Sanders) When all of the evidence, from polls to potentially prosecutable pitfalls were taken into consideration, the Superdelegates had every objective reason to step in and say, "you know, Clinton won by a narrow margin but only with so much help, and Bernie polls above 10% over Trump," and overturn the will of the "people," which was at best a product of the SD\'s guidance in the first place! So I believe that, since they failed to do their job in putting forward the best candidate, or at least in staying out of the fucking primary until AFTER the vote was held, they should be abolished. Same premise with the Electoral College. They existed for ONE reason - to take the decision-making out of the hands of the people and give them to "the states." Except really this was supposed to prevent a populist madman from rising to power. (See the Federalist Papers for proof of this intent) Guess what?

There's plenty of case law specific to Establishment Clause claims that intent surrounding an action is just as important as the actual wording used to justify the action itself.

The Establishment Clause applies to all government actions. Even if it didn\'t, the plaintiffs in the lawsuit have established standing and demonstrated harm, so their claims against the EO are still in regards to the Establishment Clause. Incidentally, many Constitutional rights apply to non-citizens. SCOTUS has even ruled that non citizens not on US territory are due habeus corpus rights. What, is your stance that the government can totally endorse and establish religions anywhere it wants outside of US jurisdiction and that\'s a legitimate exercise of government power?

Better camera...Maybe slightly. Don't even get me started on performance. Have you ever put 6S next to the 7 and actually tested the performance side by side? No? I did, because I have both at home. Lo and behold, the 6S running iOS 9 is MUCH more faster than the 7. I mean, literally twice-as-fast-boot-up faster. I do realize 7 is better hardware but in reality it means nothing. You won't see any difference whatsoever. 7 is actually one of the most disappointing iphones ever made. By no means I'm not saying it's a bad device, it's just disappointing. IPhone 6s is as powerful and comes with well optimised and nicely designed ios. Apple fucked up releasing a device that brings nothing new, additionally on an ios with poor UI that's not optimised at all and just wastes all the power the 7 has.

People know when a company closes down a plant that they work at and moves production to another country. My area used to have quite a lot of manufacturing, one of the largest in my area was manufacturing a product whose brand name is so ubiquitous that people use it to describe the product. Think what "Kleenex" has become (it\'s not Kleenex). This product is now made in China. The company that I work for, a different major brand, used to manufacture its products right nearby, but moved it overseas in the 2000s. Since then we have seen customer service jobs moved over there, then tech support, scheduling, engineering, programming, and a number of other jobs. They\'re working right up the value chain! Even if the quality of the workers isn\'t the same it\'s hard to pass up being able to hire people for a fraction of what it would cost to hire an American. And I can\'t blame the companies for doing this. The rules make it so you\'re stupid to not take advantage of these differences. For jobs that cannot be outsourced, such as nursing or landscaping, there are the H1B ad H2B visas. And of course low-skill work including landscaping and others are often filled by illegal aliens -- people who should be deported! Politicians have not been representing normal folks for a long time. Sad to see you buying the extremely dishonest "those jobs don\'t exist anymore" talking point, but not surprising!', '>>{txyesboy} : I worked for a major US firm in a management position; a white collar office job managing white collar tech support and customer service employees. It wasn\'t upper management, and the employees weren\'t upper crust elites; we were just happy to be part of a major US corporation\'s goals and very college campus attitude and lifestyle. I was then asked to start providing management guidance to outsourced employees in Bangalore India, who were slowly being trained up and introduced into our workforce doing a small percentage of what the employees I managed did. Slowly over time, the employees that I met with every week and developed performance reviews for and provided career guidance to, expressed their concerns to the fears that they were being replaced. I assured them that, the upper management team I reported to told me this was simply a global initiative to provide "round the clock" support and customer service to all our customers around the world and nothing to fear. I was then asked to go to Bangalore personally to train more individuals there. Being just after 9/11, I politely refused, as "white people" were considered a target for ransom; especially if you were an employee of a major globally recognized firm. We found a *ahem* "regular employee" from another team in our building who had no knowledge of what we did, but had family in Bangalore, and we quickly trained him up so he could go there to train employees there. He was a very nice guy and glad to do so, but wasn\'t qualified for this task; but we crash coursed him on it, and I\'m sure he ended up doing fine. I say "ended up doing fine" because it really didn\'t fucking matter. The goal was to cut costs and incentivize tax breaks for the company. It mattered not how good the outsourced Indian employees named "Steve" and "Michelle" performed in the job compared to their US counterparts. I know this firsthand because I performed QA/Coaching/Review (choose your buzzword you prefer here as you wish) on both the domestic and foreign employees work with customers - their interactions with them. Most if not all the work was email support based. The most simple grasping of English vernacular in simple conversational transactions were "foreign" in more ways than one. It was a fucking train wreck. Each quarter, the ratio of work assigned to our domestic employees to outsourced went down and down and down( yet our American employees\' customer service satisfaction scores continued to improve (as much as could in a "cost recovery" center). Didn\'t. Matter. Within the course of just over a full fiscal year, my team was dissolved and 50+ employees were "reassigned" to other roles in the company - including myself. The team in India had horrid customer satisfaction scores; didn\'t matter. Before I\'d left, I had been tasked with trying to assist with the PR disaster associated with these horrid satisfaction scores, and public outcry in the tech sector regarding outsourcing. I was asked to do benchmarking against other branches of the same company but served different customer bases (fledgling ISP, online gaming host services, recently co-partnered cable TV network, etc). I got as far as reviewing the "glowing customer satisfaction ratings" of the fledgling ISP\'s customers. Their support center was in Manila, but their management was mainland. I asked them point blank how they achieved over 95% satisfaction ratings. "Simple. We toss out the scores that are from people that are so dissatisfied they are canceling their service" What percentage of your overall customer interactions that are surveyed fit that criteria? "About 90%" Fuck. Me. I left the company disheartened and the illusion of working with what appeared to be such a great company to all outward appearances was shattered. Before I\'d left, before I\'d been reassigned, I counseled my employees individually one last time: "Don\'t be too trusting. Don\'t accept your skill set is Good enough - ever. Prepare yourself to always be ready to find new employment where opportunities arise. Don\'t limit yourself to one skill set or trade. Make yourself as valuable as you can." Within another 2 1/2 years, the entire customer service branch located in our state - a few hundred employees strong.... Gone. I heard from employees that stuck around until the end, but many of them were appreciative to not candy coat what was inevitable and helping them prepare for new employment in more secure ad fruitful fields of employ. I\'ve been working with two of them now for the last ten years. Protesters marched in front of this companies\' offices when the outsourcing was complete, and it made the local news. My wife wrote our state representative - a Republican (we were both Republican at the time, she still is) to complain about outsourcing. Her response was politico-speak "Global economy", "Helping keep American companies profitable", blah blah. We wrote back asking if we could outsource *her* job. Funny, we received no response. I missed visiting my grandmother on her deathbed out of state so I could complete the three rounds of interviews to rise above the massive amount of people who\'d applied for the management position in the first place. They said they\'d be accommodating for such things, but I wasn\'t stupid: corporations don\'t care. My mother advised me my grandmother would understand.

It can be done relatively easily in areas in the north and Midwest that still have the comparatively better trade schools and community colleges in place. What Donald Trump has done is completely change the status quo on trade. Even if he disappoints, and I don't think he will, his supporters bought into it and now expect change on this.

I assured them that, the upper management team I reported to told me this was simply a global initiative to provide "round the clock" support and customer service to all our customers around the world and nothing to fear. I was then asked to go to Bangalore personally to train more individuals there. Being just after 9/11, I politely refused, as "white people" were considered a target for ransom; especially if you were an employee of a major globally recognized firm. We found a *ahem* "regular employee" from another team in our building who had no knowledge of what we did, but had family in Bangalore, and we quickly trained him up so he could go there to train employees there. He was a very nice guy and glad to do so, but wasn\'t qualified for this task; but we crash coursed him on it, and I\'m sure he ended up doing fine. I say "ended up doing fine" because it really didn\'t fucking matter. The goal was to cut costs and incentivize tax breaks for the company. It mattered not how good the outsourced Indian employees named "Steve" and "Michelle" performed in the job compared to their US counterparts. I know this firsthand because I performed QA/Coaching/Review (choose your buzzword you prefer here as you wish) on both the domestic and foreign employees work with customers - their interactions with them. Most if not all the work was email support based. The most simple grasping of English vernacular in simple conversational transactions were "foreign" in more ways than one. It was a fucking train wreck. Each quarter, the ratio of work assigned to our domestic employees to outsourced went down and down and down( yet our American employees\' customer service satisfaction scores continued to improve (as much as could in a "cost recovery" center). Didn\'t. Matter. Within the course of just over a full fiscal year, my team was dissolved and 50+ employees were "reassigned" to other roles in the company - including myself. The team in India had horrid customer satisfaction scores; didn\'t matter. Before I\'d left, I had been tasked with trying to assist with the PR disaster associated with these horrid satisfaction scores, and public outcry in the tech sector regarding outsourcing. I was asked to do benchmarking against other branches of the same company but served different customer bases (fledgling ISP, online gaming host services, recently co-partnered cable TV network, etc). I got as far as reviewing the "glowing customer satisfaction ratings" of the fledgling ISP\'s customers. Their support center was in Manila, but their management was mainland. I asked them point blank how they achieved over 95% satisfaction ratings. "Simple. We toss out the scores that are from people that are so dissatisfied they are canceling their service" What percentage of your overall customer interactions that are surveyed fit that criteria? "About 90%" Fuck. Me. I left the company disheartened and the illusion of working with what appeared to be such a great company to all outward appearances was shattered. Before I\'d left, before I\'d been reassigned, I counseled my employees individually one last time: "Don\'t be too trusting. Don\'t accept your skill set is Good enough - ever. Prepare yourself to always be ready to find new employment where opportunities arise. Don\'t limit yourself to one skill set or trade. Make yourself as valuable as you can." Within another 2 1/2 years, the entire customer service branch located in our state - a few hundred employees strong.... Gone. I heard from employees that stuck around until the end, but many of them were appreciative to not candy coat what was inevitable and helping them prepare for new employment in more secure ad fruitful fields of employ. I\'ve been working with two of them now for the last ten years. Protesters marched in front of this companies\' offices when the outsourcing was complete, and it made the local news. My wife wrote our state representative - a Republican (we were both Republican at the time, she still is) to complain about outsourcing. Her response was politico-speak "Global economy", "Helping keep American companies profitable", blah blah. We wrote back asking if we could outsource *her* job. Funny, we received no response. I missed visiting my grandmother on her deathbed out of state so I could complete the three rounds of interviews to rise above the massive amount of people who\'d applied for the management position in the first place. They said they\'d be accommodating for such things, but I wasn\'t stupid: corporations don\'t care. My mother advised me my grandmother would understand. So, do I have any personal feedback to provide on the subject? Maybe a little. But perhaps you have more to offer than my meager example?', ">>{BudrickBundy} : That sounds a lot like the direction a lot of employers are going in. My employer actually started with Ireland back when it was still a low wage country, then tried Bangalore.

They're not, nor are manufacturing ones. But it is a fair statement to assess that our American workforce in this part of the country is in dire need of targeted vocational education to meet the demands that bringing back manufacturing and assembly jobs require to perform these skills. There's a far more concerted effort towards automation, so more education targeted towards computer programming and hardware tech repair.", ">>{BudrickBundy} : These changes can be done rather rapidly with coordination between employers and local governments and institutions. I have seen this done in areas down south where a large new factories have been built for Boeing and for various car companies. There's coordination with trade schools and community colleges to train workers for these industries. It can be done relatively easily in areas in the north and Midwest that still have the comparatively better trade schools and community colleges in place. What Donald Trump has done is completely change the status quo on trade. Even if he disappoints, and I don't think he will, his supporters bought into it and now expect change on this. Also, it's very likely that the Democrat party will nominate someone from that Sanders/Warren wing in 2020. So on trade, regular Americans win whether or not Trump is successful. On immigration it's still up to Trump to get it right because I don't see the other party interested in deporting illegals, securing the border, fixing the H1B & H2B visa systems, and making legal immigration more of a program to benefit the interests of everyday Americans and less like a charity."], ['>>{spitfire9107} : You guy sthink there will ever be a laptop like nintendo switch.

That's a very broad stroke and it oversimplifies (doesn't account for women who leave the workforce to raise children, or that women as a whole might have skewed job preferences compared to men), but it's generally true. 1. Frequently, women do get paid less for the exact same job. Native me thought that wasn't the case because, from my limited experience as a manager at a single company, that *wasn't* the case.

Sci-fi writers have dabbled often with alternative history stories – among the most common is the “What If The Nazis Had Won The Second World War” setting – but this huge interactive virtual reality project, which will unfold on TV, in the press, and on Twitter over the next four years, sets out to build an ongoing alternative present. The story begins in a nightmarish version of 2017 in which huge sections of the US electorate have somehow been duped into voting to make Donald Trump president. It sounds far-fetched, and it is, but as it goes on it becomes more and more chillingly plausible. Today’s feature-length opener concentrates on the gaudy inauguration of President Trump, and the stirrings of protest and despair surrounding the ceremony, while pundits speculate gravely on what lies ahead.

I dont like Hillary on any level, but the abjectly pointless, manufactured and beyond merely speculative nature of the constant howl made by Trump supporters makes me wonder what future any form of intellectualism has in this nation. Trump contradicts himself hourly. Was a lifelong Democrat with virtually no religious affiliation, and yet when he suddenly says EVERYTHING any republican wants to hear despite most of it being implausible or contradictory, all reason is tossed to the wind and you love him for the bullshit he spews. You respond to 1200 different direct criticisms of actual things hes on video saying and doing with "Emails! Benghazi! Shes Sick", none of which even remotely empirically compare.

For you to say that this claim is on par with claims that, say, Hillary's eyes rove in different directions, or Hillary can only walk with the aid of a bionic exoskeleton, just goes to show how skittish and insecure her supporters really are.

In point of fact, there\'s been plenty of advocacy against language of "Strength" and "fighting" cancer precisely because it figures those who do not survive as weak and therefore immoral. Again, literally every expert on PTSD has said that this sort of talk does damage to people who might seek treatment.

Or rather, it is misrepresenting what they criticized Trump for. The Joe Biden response was without a doubt the strongest. Even he though said "I don’t think he was trying to be mean. He is just so thoroughly, completely uninformed." And if you think this is merely the media making a storm in a tea cup, then watch Biden\'s speech. That anger wasn\'t partisan.

Which the press does with Trump', '>>{DBDude} : War vet here with friends who have PTSD, and with a small chance I may be living in denial about myself (the common "I feel fine, but sometimes..."). "Can\'t handle it" is pretty much the definition of PTSD. As I said elsewhere: People saw horrible shit, or horrible shit happened to them. Some people can\'t handle that horrible shit and need help, and we call this PTSD (as Carlin said, we\'ve now completely removed the humanity from our description of the condition). This happens to soldiers far more than most people because they tend to experience a lot more horrible shit. Trump\'s perfectly descriptive language is just an excuse for people who can\'t handle the truth to jump on him.', '>>{fullofwind} : I greatly disagree for this issue. PTSD being associated with toughness in anyway diminishes the work attempts of people looking to address this issue. To ignorantly link the two on as big of a platform and with as much authority as a presidential nominee is supposed to have is a major issue. There are more worthy issues to make this stand on Trump and the media, this one was handle as it should have been.', '>>{sedgwickian} : I\'m not attempting to describe your personal experience or that of your friends. I\'m sorry you and they are going through difficult things. I hope you and they get the help you need. But the opposite of "can\'t handle it" is not "strength." In setting those up as opposites, Trump has positioned "can\'t handle it" as weak, an association that goes against any and all clinical definitions of PTSD in a way that actively keeps people from seeking the treatment they need. Again, I don\'t think he actively meant it as a dig on vets (although he\'s done that before). But in his ignorance, even his well-meaning intent is communicated in a way that could do real damage.', '>>{imwithxir} : Im not turning it into that. Anyone who is really interested in resolving the issue would be informed enough on the history of PTSD, stigma, lack of treatment, and suicide to know to not even think of or frame it in the way he did. The context here is that he doesnt understand the fundamentals of the issue he is pretending to advocate for. The stigma he is perpetuating with his words and framing are the primary reason why PTSD is under treated. That is the only context here. He doesnt know what he is talking about, and it is dangerous.', ">>{HardKnocksAlum} : They're called strong because what they're going through is so fucking hard that it is completely understandable to succumb to it. This is not a shot at the people who end up losing to the battle they're fighting. Why is that so hard to understand?", '>>{sedgwickian} : This isn\'t about people who have not "succumbed." It\'s about people who are afraid to admit that they are going through it. Twenty-two vets per day commit suicide. Treatment helps stop people from going to those measures. Are you really saying here that calling someone "strong" rather than, say, an actual, meaningful clinical term like "resilient," is worth perpetuating a negative stereotype that would lead to more suicides? Why is that so hard to understand?', '>>{Wetzilla} : > If I say "cancer survivors are strong" that doesn\'t mean I\'m also saying cancer victims are weak. But he didn\'t say "people who overcome PTSD are strong". I wouldn\'t have an argument with that. It does take a lot of strength and a lot of work to overcome it. What he said was people who don\'t get PTSD are strong. If you said, "The people in this room were exposed to lots of asbestos, and they are strong and didn\'t get cancer, but some people do get cancer from it," then yes, you are implying that people who get cancer from asbestos are weaker than people who don\'t. Did he mean it that way? Maybe not. But words have meaning, and as the president your words have a lot of power and reach. And like with newspapers, people hear the initial comments and not the correction or follow up. There\'s a huge stigma with mental illness in this country, and Trumps comments further that stigma, even if it\'s not eactly what he meant. So it\'s important for a president to be careful and thoughtful about what they say, and Trump clearly isn\'t.', '>>{DBDude} : >But the opposite of "can\'t handle it" is not "strength." It\'s in the definition. Strong enough to handle, not strong enough to handle. Can handle, can\'t handle. >in a way that actively keeps people from seeking the treatment they need. "Couldn\'t handle it" doesn\'t keep people from getting help. Usually it\'s not wanting to admit they have a mental problem due to the general stigma surrounding mental problems. Survivor\'s guilt plays a large part, "My buddy has no legs, and it\'s just in my head, I\'m the lucky one, I shouldn\'t be seeking help. He needs the help." Lastly, soldiers who have guns are absolutely afraid to get help for fear they will be prohibited from owning any guns, or may be in the future if regulations change. I know a few people exactly in that last category. Those are real reasons. Trump using "strong" is not a reason.', ">>{brummlin} : Since he's frequently wrong and frequently contradicting himself, I'd say he's neither accurate nor precise.", '>>{SedQuisCustodiet} : As Biden said: > I don’t think he was trying to be mean. He is just so thoroughly, completely uninformed. I\'m not entirely convinced. I mean, I agree "he wasn\'t calling veterans who suffer from PTSD weak with any malintent". But I thing he has a huge fear of being weak, and this has (very common) resulted in him having a real antipathy for anything that in his eyes smacks of weakness. Hence he mocks a disabled journalist. He performs an impersonation of Hillary being sick. That is what I believe is happening here. And let\'s be honest, these disparaging comments about various groups of citizens is very much a hallmark of Trump. It isn\'t accidental that it is Trump who insults even when he might not mean to - it is simply his autopilot to insult, and he has too little self-control and so he ends up insulting veterans with PTSD. At best this is yet another insult caused by verbal diarrhea. And it may well be more malicious than that, albeit most likely subconsciously so.', '>>{Hardy723} : I am not sure I quite follow. I believe you were disagreeing with me at first but your last sentence confused me a bit. I understand the sensitivity of this issue and that words matter greatly.

I do not think that there are Vets out there about to get help who are stopped the minute they hear Trump speak. But the logic behind thinking like "physical disabilities require/deserve more attention than mental ones" comes back to the idea that strong people are capable of handling mental illness on their own. Trump\'s language contributes to that kind of thinking.', '>>{ShakeyBobWillis} : What was wrong with the baby story? In the best context it was still trump making a joke at the expense of one of his supporters instead of just politely asking her to remove him until he settled down.', ">>{wraith5} : It absolutely is turning into that.

The people who bitch about the media most vocally whine about it\'s liberal bias, yet Fox News is the highest rated cable news channel. When people complain about the media, they rarely mean this conglomeration of multiple outlets as most of them couldn\'t name them or their relations if they tried. They\'re just blanket complaining about any media outlet that doesn\'t mirror their own world view back at them. This article is exactly that point. For every news outlet you can find saying that Trump thinks only pussies commit suicide, there is another media outlet saying that everyone else is making a mountain out of a mole hill. The same people who hate "the media" because of news like this are gobbling up out of context hit pieces about the opposition like un-poisoned skittles.

They\'ve been pushing this lie for months.

Don\'t come to me complaining about the dishonest media while you happily smile as another news sources pisses on your leg and tells you it\'s raining. Fox News attacks Trump? No shit, CNN, MSNBC, and all the other major news outlets had plenty of coverage on Benghazi, the email server, Clinton collapsing, etc. but of course those were just puff pieces glossing over the harsher truth amiright? I\'ve yet to see a single Trump supporter come out and say, "hey I support Trump and all but this Breitbart article is just plain wrong." People find the dishonesty they like, and they roll with it.', '>>{gameoverman1983} : Yea people seek out sources that align with their beliefs. No shit. The problem comes when 90% of the major media is constantly shitting on nearly half the population, calling them evil racist bigots for wanting to enforce immigration laws, while constantly spreading bullshit narratives about how oppressed blacks are by racism, etc. etc. If just half the MSM was doing this it would be different but it is practically every major news outlet pushing it. The situation is unacceptable.', ">>{lolpoliticsthrowaway} : No offense, but you're kind of the poster child for this.

They don't care about the lie or the hype, they care about the target. They are completely fine with lies and hype as long as it serves their own purposes.

One of the biggest obstacles of dealing with PTSD/mental health issues of veterans is removing the stigma that they are somehow a failure for being affected by it.

I dont like Hillary on any level, but the abjectly pointless, manufactured and beyond merely speculative nature of the constant howl made by Trump supporters makes me wonder what future any form of intellectualism has in this nation. Trump contradicts himself hourly. Was a lifelong Democrat with virtually no religious affiliation, and yet when he suddenly says EVERYTHING any republican wants to hear despite most of it being implausible or contradictory, all reason is tossed to the wind and you love him for the bullshit he spews. You respond to 1200 different direct criticisms of actual things hes on video saying and doing with "Emails! Benghazi! Shes Sick", none of which even remotely empirically compare.

For you to say that this claim is on par with claims that, say, Hillary's eyes rove in different directions, or Hillary can only walk with the aid of a bionic exoskeleton, just goes to show how skittish and insecure her supporters really are.

In point of fact, there\'s been plenty of advocacy against language of "Strength" and "fighting" cancer precisely because it figures those who do not survive as weak and therefore immoral.

He is just so thoroughly, completely uninformed." And if you think this is merely the media making a storm in a tea cup, then watch Biden\'s speech. That anger wasn\'t partisan.

Some people can\'t handle that horrible shit and need help, and we call this PTSD (as Carlin said, we\'ve now completely removed the humanity from our description of the condition). This happens to soldiers far more than most people because they tend to experience a lot more horrible shit. Trump\'s perfectly descriptive language is just an excuse for people who can\'t handle the truth to jump on him.', '>>{fullofwind} : I greatly disagree for this issue. PTSD being associated with toughness in anyway diminishes the work attempts of people looking to address this issue.

There are more worthy issues to make this stand on Trump and the media, this one was handle as it should have been.', '>>{sedgwickian} : I\'m not attempting to describe your personal experience or that of your friends. I\'m sorry you and they are going through difficult things. I hope you and they get the help you need. But the opposite of "can\'t handle it" is not "strength." In setting those up as opposites, Trump has positioned "can\'t handle it" as weak, an association that goes against any and all clinical definitions of PTSD in a way that actively keeps people from seeking the treatment they need. Again, I don\'t think he actively meant it as a dig on vets (although he\'s done that before). But in his ignorance, even his well-meaning intent is communicated in a way that could do real damage.', '>>{imwithxir} : Im not turning it into that. Anyone who is really interested in resolving the issue would be informed enough on the history of PTSD, stigma, lack of treatment, and suicide to know to not even think of or frame it in the way he did. The context here is that he doesnt understand the fundamentals of the issue he is pretending to advocate for. The stigma he is perpetuating with his words and framing are the primary reason why PTSD is under treated. That is the only context here. He doesnt know what he is talking about, and it is dangerous.', ">>{HardKnocksAlum} : They're called strong because what they're going through is so fucking hard that it is completely understandable to succumb to it.

It\'s about people who are afraid to admit that they are going through it. Twenty-two vets per day commit suicide. Treatment helps stop people from going to those measures. Are you really saying here that calling someone "strong" rather than, say, an actual, meaningful clinical term like "resilient," is worth perpetuating a negative stereotype that would lead to more suicides? Why is that so hard to understand?', '>>{Wetzilla} : > If I say "cancer survivors are strong" that doesn\'t mean I\'m also saying cancer victims are weak. But he didn\'t say "people who overcome PTSD are strong". I wouldn\'t have an argument with that. It does take a lot of strength and a lot of work to overcome it. What he said was people who don\'t get PTSD are strong. If you said, "The people in this room were exposed to lots of asbestos, and they are strong and didn\'t get cancer, but some people do get cancer from it," then yes, you are implying that people who get cancer from asbestos are weaker than people who don\'t. Did he mean it that way? Maybe not. But words have meaning, and as the president your words have a lot of power and reach. And like with newspapers, people hear the initial comments and not the correction or follow up. There\'s a huge stigma with mental illness in this country, and Trumps comments further that stigma, even if it\'s not eactly what he meant. So it\'s important for a president to be careful and thoughtful about what they say, and Trump clearly isn\'t.', '>>{DBDude} : >But the opposite of "can\'t handle it" is not "strength." It\'s in the definition. Strong enough to handle, not strong enough to handle. Can handle, can\'t handle. >in a way that actively keeps people from seeking the treatment they need. "Couldn\'t handle it" doesn\'t keep people from getting help. Usually it\'s not wanting to admit they have a mental problem due to the general stigma surrounding mental problems. Survivor\'s guilt plays a large part, "My buddy has no legs, and it\'s just in my head, I\'m the lucky one, I shouldn\'t be seeking help. He needs the help." Lastly, soldiers who have guns are absolutely afraid to get help for fear they will be prohibited from owning any guns, or may be in the future if regulations change. I know a few people exactly in that last category. Those are real reasons. Trump using "strong" is not a reason.', ">>{brummlin} : Since he's frequently wrong and frequently contradicting himself, I'd say he's neither accurate nor precise.", '>>{SedQuisCustodiet} : As Biden said: > I don’t think he was trying to be mean. He is just so thoroughly, completely uninformed. I\'m not entirely convinced. I mean, I agree "he wasn\'t calling veterans who suffer from PTSD weak with any malintent". But I thing he has a huge fear of being weak, and this has (very common) resulted in him having a real antipathy for anything that in his eyes smacks of weakness. Hence he mocks a disabled journalist. He performs an impersonation of Hillary being sick. That is what I believe is happening here. And let\'s be honest, these disparaging comments about various groups of citizens is very much a hallmark of Trump. It isn\'t accidental that it is Trump who insults even when he might not mean to - it is simply his autopilot to insult, and he has too little self-control and so he ends up insulting veterans with PTSD. At best this is yet another insult caused by verbal diarrhea. And it may well be more malicious than that, albeit most likely subconsciously so.', '>>{Hardy723} : I am not sure I quite follow.

I do not think that there are Vets out there about to get help who are stopped the minute they hear Trump speak. But the logic behind thinking like "physical disabilities require/deserve more attention than mental ones" comes back to the idea that strong people are capable of handling mental illness on their own. Trump\'s language contributes to that kind of thinking.', '>>{ShakeyBobWillis} : What was wrong with the baby story?

When people complain about the media, they rarely mean this conglomeration of multiple outlets as most of them couldn\'t name them or their relations if they tried. They\'re just blanket complaining about any media outlet that doesn\'t mirror their own world view back at them. This article is exactly that point.

There simply aren't enough hulls for all the places a hull is wanted, especially for platforms that require extensive lead up time between deployments, like a carrier(the rule of thumb being that it takes 3 carriers to keep 1 always on station).

Over runs with that, and the slow delivery of the Gerald Ford meant that when the Ike\'s overhaul went long the Teddy Roosevelt was going to leave the Gulf last Fall without an immediate replacement. In the end they forced the TR to stay on station longer and rushed the deployment of the Truman which had been thrown off by the Ike taking longer to get back into service. Making nobody happy and straining the system. The Navy has been trying to adapt, for instance the Ticonderoga class cruisers are a key but aging part of the fleet.

I loved how it had apps on google play for lots of different things. The music control was so handy. Using it as a camera remote was great. Reading texts, emails, even as a camera viewer was all right. It even had apps that let you reply to texts/emails but I didn\'t try those out since they were 3rd party and had bad reviews. The screen wasn\'t very accurate for typing text or numbers in a calculator or keyboard but the screen wasn\'t this big. It might be better to do that now. The waterproofing is great, it was rated by ifixit as like a 8 or 9 out of ten to fix yourself. I liked how I could lock the phone if my gear fit lost bluetooth, or lock apps with an app. Though I think that\'s available for any wearables on Android. The original did lag with 3rd party apps but that\'s something that was a dev problem, I think. It was "bring to your face" activated and I\'m not sure if I liked needing to do that to activate it but it was so much more handy then pulling a big phone out all the time for anything. So I don\'t think they would remove it, I think In the video you can clearly see it activating while she moves it. This looks promising. Though I only paid $50 for mine, it really opened my eyes to how handy smart watches and wearables are. If this one is faster and more accurate with 3rd party apps I might consider this over a pebble. Edit some typos. Also loved having a flashlight on my wrist and the amazing wallpaper customization, though it had little 1st party support for watch faces or having date/steps/hr/cal burned added to those watch faces. And the 3rd party apps that let you change those faces wouldn\'t give access to date/steps/hr/calories burned. Also as a construction worker it still didn\'t have any scratches on the screen! The silver trim flaked and faded though. I was not easy on this device and it still looks good. This was my first smart watch and it made me realize how intuitive touch screens are on them. But it also helped me realize how many smart watches never have a fully rounded spec list and it\'s getting so old. I have seen so many that someone should be able to make the full package by now. a waterproof smart watch that syncs to your phone, has 3rd party support, an accurate heart rate monitor and step counter/gps, touch, accurate flick wrist activation, accurate touch screen, full screen customization, 5 to 7 day battery life.

Shit like extending carrier deployments beyond a year when 6 months used to be the standard(and now the CNO says he just wants the goal to get back to 8), absolutely degrades men, ships, and morale of the force. There simply aren't enough hulls for all the places a hull is wanted, especially for platforms that require extensive lead up time between deployments, like a carrier(the rule of thumb being that it takes 3 carriers to keep 1 always on station). While the LCS program to allow smaller ships to take the place of DDG's where they are overkill has finally been acknowledged as a man power fuckup, which was a far greater problem to the program than any design error could have been. Once again trying to get away with under manning and stretching sailors thin, and then wondering why stuff keeps breaking. While the restart of the Arleigh Burke production line is welcome, if only a stopgap measure, and the 1 for 1 replacement of Nimitz for Ford hulls doesn't really solve the problem just punts it while you have temporary number inflation during the transfer every few years. To be clear there is no objective level that the USN needs to be at.

Halfway through their life they have to go through what is called the "Refueling and Complex Overhaul" which takes each ship out of the line for about 18 months.

In the end they forced the TR to stay on station longer and rushed the deployment of the Truman which had been thrown off by the Ike taking longer to get back into service. Making nobody happy and straining the system. The Navy has been trying to adapt, for instance the Ticonderoga class cruisers are a key but aging part of the fleet.

I loved how it had apps on google play for lots of different things. The music control was so handy. Using it as a camera remote was great. Reading texts, emails, even as a camera viewer was all right. It even had apps that let you reply to texts/emails but I didn\'t try those out since they were 3rd party and had bad reviews. The screen wasn\'t very accurate for typing text or numbers in a calculator or keyboard but the screen wasn\'t this big. It might be better to do that now. The waterproofing is great, it was rated by ifixit as like a 8 or 9 out of ten to fix yourself. I liked how I could lock the phone if my gear fit lost bluetooth, or lock apps with an app. Though I think that\'s available for any wearables on Android. The original did lag with 3rd party apps but that\'s something that was a dev problem, I think. It was "bring to your face" activated and I\'m not sure if I liked needing to do that to activate it but it was so much more handy then pulling a big phone out all the time for anything. So I don\'t think they would remove it, I think In the video you can clearly see it activating while she moves it. This looks promising. Though I only paid $50 for mine, it really opened my eyes to how handy smart watches and wearables are. If this one is faster and more accurate with 3rd party apps I might consider this over a pebble. Edit some typos. Also loved having a flashlight on my wrist and the amazing wallpaper customization, though it had little 1st party support for watch faces or having date/steps/hr/cal burned added to those watch faces. And the 3rd party apps that let you change those faces wouldn\'t give access to date/steps/hr/calories burned. Also as a construction worker it still didn\'t have any scratches on the screen! The silver trim flaked and faded though. I was not easy on this device and it still looks good. This was my first smart watch and it made me realize how intuitive touch screens are on them. But it also helped me realize how many smart watches never have a fully rounded spec list and it\'s getting so old. I have seen so many that someone should be able to make the full package by now. a waterproof smart watch that syncs to your phone, has 3rd party support, an accurate heart rate monitor and step counter/gps, touch, accurate flick wrist activation, accurate touch screen, full screen customization, 5 to 7 day battery life. It\'s been so long since I thought about it I can\'t remember because I\'ve seen so many that always had 1 or 2 missing important features.', ">>{getddt} : Love my Garmin Fenix 3 HR.

And sometimes cops will discharge all of their bullets before they will check on whether the target is still a threat. Doctors and nurses are superheroes.

The Justice system also favors cops in order not to create precedence and not keep the cops from being able to retire. A cop that loses his job is more likely to become the bad guy, maybe rob some banks or become a vigilant. Together with the cops there is the prison system that we hear is very profitable for the private companies that manage them. Cops hate it that they catch the bad guys, and the prison system cannot keep them away for good. So when they hit the streets again and do something worse, the cops are like "see?" Cops like their BBQs. Cops like their guns. And cops f---ing love to retire on those. God protecting them and their families. Cops retire at a younger age and with more benefits than many people out there. Don\'t ask a cop for advice on how to improve the situation. They don\'t care. For all they see, they are survivors. A cop could see it like "hey cops only kill hundreds of people. It doesn\'t really make a difference." And by and large it\'s probably OK as far as statistics go.

Unless the battery is physically removed, a government agency such as the NSA could easily track you, record your conversations, and has already seen your dick pics. 2. There are cameras EVERYWHERE. Not just in cell phones, but on streets, buildings, keeping 24/7 tabs on people. The government didn't invest so heavily on facial recognition algorithms for shits and giggles. 3. Your expenditures are not private. Your info is sold to any and everyone. Advertising isn't going to respect your privacy any more than a government would.

Laptops have webcams and microphones, cellphones have several cameras and obviously a microphone, not to mention tons of other sensors. Cars have computers that record speed, and some have GPS as well. Buying additional devices that track us is what we do now. We all have 1 or 2 cellphones (work cell), lots of people have smart tvs, lots have netbooks/tablets/laptops.... etc. I think people vastly overestimate how important they think their inane chatter is around the house. "I don\'t want a device snooping on me!" Ok, fine, but unless you\'re prepared to live in a pre 1980\'s world again, or even further back...there\'s no escaping it. I hated the idea of the Xbox 1 when it came out, because it forced an always on microphone and sensors. The issue isn\'t privacy being invaded, it\'s about what that data is used for once collected. Does my device enforce DRM if people join me on the couch to watch a movie? Not acceptable to me. If I purchase online computer parts from Newegg.com, will that info be shared? Will it target me with relevant ads? Thats ok to me. I only care when my data is being shared to people who will harass me such as robocallers, or in any way that impedes my day to day life. The Amazon Echo improves quality I believe, and doesn\'t make it worse. As paranoid as I\'ve been over the years, I had to learn to accept that my chatter around the house means nothing to the government, and the only people interested in it are companies wanting to sell me crap. Is it right that we live in a time where privacy is no longer existent? I don\'t like it, but that\'s the reality of it. I say, have fun with it.

The cop died and his partner also got shot at. Basically when you have a gun, anything could happen. Cops don\'t want to get shot at either. So they will draw first and fire first. And sometimes cops will discharge all of their bullets before they will check on whether the target is still a threat. Doctors and nurses are superheroes. They have to deal with an amount of crap that is god-like. I digress... Here\'s the deal as far as cops go. They want to be able to retire, most of them. The Justice system also favors cops in order not to create precedence and not keep the cops from being able to retire. A cop that loses his job is more likely to become the bad guy, maybe rob some banks or become a vigilant. Together with the cops there is the prison system that we hear is very profitable for the private companies that manage them. Cops hate it that they catch the bad guys, and the prison system cannot keep them away for good. So when they hit the streets again and do something worse, the cops are like "see?" Cops like their BBQs. Cops like their guns. And cops f---ing love to retire on those. God protecting them and their families. Cops retire at a younger age and with more benefits than many people out there. Don\'t ask a cop for advice on how to improve the situation. They don\'t care. For all they see, they are survivors. A cop could see it like "hey cops only kill hundreds of people. It doesn\'t really make a difference." And by and large it\'s probably OK as far as statistics go.

The 4x image will have greater resolution, but it won't show all the detail and color you could see in the 90% quality image.

I have a plex server and a roku for video but for audio, the chromecast audio is mint.", ">>{Kronos_Selai} : I love all the paranoid people posting here. What century do you think you're living in? There is no such thing as privacy, and it would be nearly impossible for anyone on Earth to have that ever again. 1. Cellphones have the ability to record audio and video even when turned off. Unless the battery is physically removed, a government agency such as the NSA could easily track you, record your conversations, and has already seen your dick pics. 2. There are cameras EVERYWHERE. Not just in cell phones, but on streets, buildings, keeping 24/7 tabs on people. The government didn't invest so heavily on facial recognition algorithms for shits and giggles. 3. Your expenditures are not private. Your info is sold to any and everyone. Advertising isn't going to respect your privacy any more than a government would. You can't avoid this no matter how much you use cash. 4. If you don't like these things, then protest, write your law makers, vote with your wallet, write the companies, and get your reasoning and ideas out there. Don't just whine and scoff over one device while you ARE USING a device right now that is being tracked. Grow some self awareness people.", ">>{TheMessiahg7} : You could take that as an example.

I bet my grandma would\'ve loved it or had such terrible problems trying to make it work if she were still alive. Her eyesight was starting to go and she was losing a lot of mobility.

Yes my phone's GPS is tracked probably all the time, yes some government agencies could tap into my mic, but are you mad at people for not wanting to be the ones who personally take it a step further? By choice? And even paying like 140$ for it :D (sorry English's not my first language)", '>>{Kronos_Selai} : My point is that almost every person already buys a device that either does that, or can do that. Laptops have webcams and microphones, cellphones have several cameras and obviously a microphone, not to mention tons of other sensors. Cars have computers that record speed, and some have GPS as well. Buying additional devices that track us is what we do now. We all have 1 or 2 cellphones (work cell), lots of people have smart tvs, lots have netbooks/tablets/laptops.... etc. I think people vastly overestimate how important they think their inane chatter is around the house. "I don\'t want a device snooping on me!" Ok, fine, but unless you\'re prepared to live in a pre 1980\'s world again, or even further back...there\'s no escaping it. I hated the idea of the Xbox 1 when it came out, because it forced an always on microphone and sensors. The issue isn\'t privacy being invaded, it\'s about what that data is used for once collected. Does my device enforce DRM if people join me on the couch to watch a movie? Not acceptable to me. If I purchase online computer parts from Newegg.com, will that info be shared? Will it target me with relevant ads? Thats ok to me. I only care when my data is being shared to people who will harass me such as robocallers, or in any way that impedes my day to day life. The Amazon Echo improves quality I believe, and doesn\'t make it worse. As paranoid as I\'ve been over the years, I had to learn to accept that my chatter around the house means nothing to the government, and the only people interested in it are companies wanting to sell me crap. Is it right that we live in a time where privacy is no longer existent? I don\'t like it, but that\'s the reality of it. I say, have fun with it.

I cut off all connections to the digital world. That would include things like Reddit, or basic email. No credit card, no going outside near any camera, no cellphone, etc. Yeah, I'm not living in the year 1900. 2. I accept the reality of the modern world and I try to limit exposure to things I deem harmful. I don't like Facebook for this very reason. I'm forced to keep it for a while longer, but the only info i dish out is my name and city. Having an Echo is no more intrusive than having a cellphone. I talk to the echo, it listens and no doubt uses all the info I give it. I have a cellphone, if I wanted, FBI could show up in mere minutes by saying stupid shit in proximity to the mic. I do NOT use facebook on my cell for this reason, as it does listen in to you. Google is considerably less evil than Facebook, and they already have all my info. I can't take that back, and I'm not going to sweat and worry over them knowing what I beat my meat to. You have to weigh convenience with your privacy. I choose to find a balance.

I could store and encrypt my files locally, I could share photos by driving to friends and showing them physically. I could write my messages with pgp. But I don't because of convenience. There's also other benefits I cannot participate in in any way. I can't be a part of the group chat between my buddies without facebook. I can't see photos of my relatives.

If hillary can make these republicans see that a man who bribes attorneys and pays for paintings of himself with charity money isn't motivated or fit enough to implement a standard republican platform. She'll win by a landslide. Frustrating thing for me is trump supporters say he'll make America great. Do all this economy hocus pocus. Be a hardass on our enemies. Give us so many freedoms.

This is the kind of non-questioning mentality people have been sold because it might make them sound 'crazy.' You prove my point by responding like this. I don't know if they actually did it or not, no one does, but I'm not simple enough to believe they wouldn't or counldn't do something like this.

It is just suspicious is all. > Her fucking up isn't the same as her committing a crime I never said I thought it was a crime. > get mad at them for not doing anything in Rwanda. Very different.

Don\'t call every minority stupid -- unable to contribute to the US * 5. Don\'t threaten to go door to door eliminating any and all bad guys only in high crime areas Reasons behind the list: * 1. trump threatens to deport 11M Hispanics living in the US. Chances are most Hispanics know several illegal aliens and I doubt he\'d be too picky about who he deports. You couldn\'t do it through the courts -- there aren\'t enough court rooms in the country to handle it -- so you\'d have to do it without due process. * 2. trump says Mexico only sends rapists and thieves. So if you\'re Hispanic and originally came through Mexico he\'s saying you are a rapist or thief. * 3. trump calls for monitoring of Muslim communities in the US thus implying that all Muslims are potential terrorists. * 4. trump says immigrants are Destroying america on several occasions, that half are criminals. * 5. trump states that he could eliminate crime in Chicago in 1 week. And he\'s clearly talking about high crime black areas. This is not increased police power -- not if you\'re going to do it in 7 days. To do it in 7 days would require a massive on the community reminiscent of Perot\'s plans from 1992: use the military to surround and contain 8-12 city block and search every house, every person.

There have [been](http://www.npr.org/2011/08/26/139972669/the-unsavory-story-of-industrially-grown-tomatoes) more than 1,200 people freed from slavery rings in Florida agriculture in the last 10 or 15 years.", '>>{Muppet1616} : http://www.nytimes.com/elections/results/texas The vast majority of counties at the border voted for clinton with 20% + margins.', '>>{_Quetzalcoatlus_} : What we really need is comprehensive immigration reform, like what the bi partisan Gang of Eight pushed for a few years back, before it was squashed by boehner.

That would go a long ways in curbing the "slave labor."', ">>{Ganjake} : It's gonna take these people paying 4 bucks for a gallon of milk in bumfuck Florida to see this, I feel bad for them and then I don't because they didn't take the time to learn about consequences of certain policies and realize they're voting against themselves in every way possible.", '>>{bisjac} : Everyone in here is trying to justify cheap labor to justify allowing illegals lol.

But there's another viewpoint you have to look at. It might not impact Florida as much, but it definitely affects a lot of agriculture. When you visit farmlands, how many people live out there? Not many, right? If you cut out the illegals, there will suddenly be few people left to work the fields, even if you increase wages. We will need to find a way to entice people to leave cities and go live in farmlands, and that will be very hard.", ">>{Ganjake} : >Dems: we need a permanent underclass of foreign labor we can pay less than minimum or our agriculture will sink 🤔 You're totally missing the point. Nobody is saying that we **need** illegal immigrants, that's absurd. What we're saying is that creating this workforce vacuum causes inflation and chaos. We need to legitimize these jobs more gradually with immigration reform, not kick them all out at once and fuck up all the progress we've made since 2008. You won't find a Democrat who says we need a permanent foreign labor force, cmon man. This is economics 101 and that's what this is about. Nobody is saying illegal immigration is okay.

Come to California and talk to some of the farmers. Almost 100% of the work force is unregistered immigrants.

Dems would much rather have these workers be legal - they've even proposed a path to citizenship for these workers. The Republican argument for disallowing a path to citizenship boggles by mind.

Chances are most Hispanics know several illegal aliens and I doubt he\'d be too picky about who he deports. You couldn\'t do it through the courts -- there aren\'t enough court rooms in the country to handle it -- so you\'d have to do it without due process. * 2. trump says Mexico only sends rapists and thieves. So if you\'re Hispanic and originally came through Mexico he\'s saying you are a rapist or thief. * 3. trump calls for monitoring of Muslim communities in the US thus implying that all Muslims are potential terrorists. * 4. trump says immigrants are Destroying america on several occasions, that half are criminals. * 5. trump states that he could eliminate crime in Chicago in 1 week. And he\'s clearly talking about high crime black areas. This is not increased police power -- not if you\'re going to do it in 7 days. To do it in 7 days would require a massive on the community reminiscent of Perot\'s plans from 1992: use the military to surround and contain 8-12 city block and search every house, every person.

Is it okay for the Clintons to make money from influence peddling? No. Thankfully we\'ve never found evidence of that taking place. And to their credit, as issues were raised they offered to remove themselves from their namesake charity in order to remove any potential conflict of interest (though again, they draw no direct financial benefit from the charity). Trump has refused to remove himself from his potential conflicts of interest and has further shielded himself from revealing the extent of any possible conflicts of interest through his choice to withhold his tax returns and related financial documents.

And considering the videos out there with cops being caught on camera making up charges to cover their asses, can you blame society when they stop trusting cops? As for this guy, I don't know if he had a gun or not. I saw a picture where it might have been a gun, but again they don't have body camera footage to back anything up on the encounter. Don't be upset when the community no longer trusts cops at their word when enough videos are shown where the cop shoots someone under questionable circumstances. Hell, the black community probably hasn't trust the cops for decades. This is just now getting more traction bc people other than the black community are seeing for the first time the shit they have to deal with. So yeah, cops can and will do more. Just because you won't hold them accountable doesn't mean we won't.

The people didn't believe he was the devil incarnate. The Democrats would have had an easy victory if they had talked about issues, but they didn't. 2008: Since GWB is not running, the Democrats cool down and both Hillary and Obama launch reasonable popular campaigns. The Republicans do the same, and McCain has a good centrist campaign and is the only one that can possibly win over Obama. So he gets nominated, and then chooses a moron for running mate. Obviously that wasn't going to work. 2012: The Republicans main argument against Obama is that he is the devil incarnate. Most voters disagree. 2016: Now with Obama out of the picture, does the Republicans cool down? No. Instead they ramp it up. Their main argument is still that you have to vote Republican because Obama is the devil incarnate, and so is Hillary, in fact.

Coupled with the lefts complacency leading to low voter turnout and people voting third party to "send a message". Topped with Bush\'s being charismatic and the last eight years being good despite all the scandals, voters really bought into the idea that "anybody" could be president so they sided with who they though was more likable. Even then is was an incredibly close race. 2004: 9/11 was only 3 years old and America has radically changed, becoming much more fearful regarding foreign threats and just starting the Iraq war which at this point enough people truly though would make us safer. This was a time when it was classically though that Republicans where the party of national security and Democrats were the party of weak peace nicks (Reagan vs Carter) Plenty of people, especially on the left were all for calling Bush the devil. However that\'s not at all what the Democrats were pushing as a narrative. They were split on the Iraq war with most of them having approved at some stage or another, and were attempted to to go high wall the GOP went low. Remember, Kerry was being "swift boated" and this was at the high of Karl Rove\'s smear campaign among anyone on the left. Kerry and the Democrats lost because they lacked passion and couldn\'t get a clear simple message out if there life depended on it. 2008: The Iraq war was proving to be neither quick nor clean and the public was tired of it. The Bush administration did not run anyone so the nominee was his rival during the 2000 primary. The Democrats finally found someone who could speak with a little passion and firing up voters who usually stayed home. McCain made a hasty and sloppy VP pick which, and the economy which had been running for years under Republican control tanked hard. This was illustrated by McCain saying "the fundamentals of the economy are strong" right before the collapse. Basically the result of the Bush administration was people no longer say the GOP as being good with foreign policy or fiscal policy. 2012: The Republicans had done to Obama what they\'ve done to every Democratic president since Carter, attack his legitimacy at every turn. They had been laying the ground work since the last election to paint Obama as a one term Carter incarnate. Unfortunately because the main problems at the time could easily be blamed on the Bush administration, and the nation was doing better in the last few years this narrative wasn\'t effective enough. Plus Romney, completely lacked the common man personal that Bush had the resonated with voters so well, and was a Mormon with strained support for the GOP\'s evangelical base. This election boiled down to a narrative of Obama in the middle of cleaning up a Republican mess, and the Republican\'s were unable to justify why their policies should be adopted again. However, Obama revealed himself to be painfully moderate and unable to effect the change many of his supports voted for leading in a weakening in that base. 2016: The GOP has been attacking Clinton for 20 years and have conditioned themselves to see her being becoming president as unthinkable. Who despite numerous smear campaign, has managed to earn dislike in her own right from both the right and the left. Her general lack of popularity is such a problem that is would take a madman to scare the electorate so bad they they would rush to support her, if only to prevent his rise to a position of power.', '>>{stupid-rando} : I just mean to speak the obvious truth that he should never be President.', ">>{spartan6222} : Ya but don't put that on the Republican party (some of the voters sure) The party is pretty powerless at this point concerning Trump.

Every single time I discussed politics I ended up defending Bush from ridiculous claims, from the claim that he\'s stupid, to the claim that he was behind 9/11. And I didn\'t agree with Bush on ANYTHING. That was ALL that election was about: "Bush is the Devil" vs "I\'m protecting America!" Bush was WAY more believable. That\'s why he won. I can\'t say for certain that the Democrats would have won, but considering that it was quite close, I think they would have, if they had attacked Bush on the ISSUES, not on person. Because his policies were awful. 2008: Yeah, I don\'t think McCain had a chance even if he had chosen a running mate with a brain. I just couldn\'t help stab at her. ;-) 2012: You are right that they attack Democrat presidents legitimacy all the time, but with Clinton they actually pointed at real issues, like him lying about Monika Lewinsky, etc. The impeachment was ridiculous and doomed to failure, of course. But compare that to the attempts of discrediting Obama, with the birther movement and insisting that he is muslim? It\'s just as insane as democrats claiming Bush was behind 9/11.

The people didn't believe he was the devil incarnate. The Democrats would have had an easy victory if they had talked about issues, but they didn't. 2008: Since GWB is not running, the Democrats cool down and both Hillary and Obama launch reasonable popular campaigns. The Republicans do the same, and McCain has a good centrist campaign and is the only one that can possibly win over Obama. So he gets nominated, and then chooses a moron for running mate. Obviously that wasn't going to work. 2012: The Republicans main argument against Obama is that he is the devil incarnate. Most voters disagree. 2016: Now with Obama out of the picture, does the Republicans cool down? No. Instead they ramp it up. Their main argument is still that you have to vote Republican because Obama is the devil incarnate, and so is Hillary, in fact.

Coupled with the lefts complacency leading to low voter turnout and people voting third party to "send a message". Topped with Bush\'s being charismatic and the last eight years being good despite all the scandals, voters really bought into the idea that "anybody" could be president so they sided with who they though was more likable. Even then is was an incredibly close race. 2004: 9/11 was only 3 years old and America has radically changed, becoming much more fearful regarding foreign threats and just starting the Iraq war which at this point enough people truly though would make us safer. This was a time when it was classically though that Republicans where the party of national security and Democrats were the party of weak peace nicks (Reagan vs Carter) Plenty of people, especially on the left were all for calling Bush the devil. However that\'s not at all what the Democrats were pushing as a narrative. They were split on the Iraq war with most of them having approved at some stage or another, and were attempted to to go high wall the GOP went low. Remember, Kerry was being "swift boated" and this was at the high of Karl Rove\'s smear campaign among anyone on the left. Kerry and the Democrats lost because they lacked passion and couldn\'t get a clear simple message out if there life depended on it. 2008: The Iraq war was proving to be neither quick nor clean and the public was tired of it. The Bush administration did not run anyone so the nominee was his rival during the 2000 primary. The Democrats finally found someone who could speak with a little passion and firing up voters who usually stayed home. McCain made a hasty and sloppy VP pick which, and the economy which had been running for years under Republican control tanked hard. This was illustrated by McCain saying "the fundamentals of the economy are strong" right before the collapse. Basically the result of the Bush administration was people no longer say the GOP as being good with foreign policy or fiscal policy. 2012: The Republicans had done to Obama what they\'ve done to every Democratic president since Carter, attack his legitimacy at every turn. They had been laying the ground work since the last election to paint Obama as a one term Carter incarnate. Unfortunately because the main problems at the time could easily be blamed on the Bush administration, and the nation was doing better in the last few years this narrative wasn\'t effective enough. Plus Romney, completely lacked the common man personal that Bush had the resonated with voters so well, and was a Mormon with strained support for the GOP\'s evangelical base. This election boiled down to a narrative of Obama in the middle of cleaning up a Republican mess, and the Republican\'s were unable to justify why their policies should be adopted again. However, Obama revealed himself to be painfully moderate and unable to effect the change many of his supports voted for leading in a weakening in that base. 2016: The GOP has been attacking Clinton for 20 years and have conditioned themselves to see her being becoming president as unthinkable. Who despite numerous smear campaign, has managed to earn dislike in her own right from both the right and the left. Her general lack of popularity is such a problem that is would take a madman to scare the electorate so bad they they would rush to support her, if only to prevent his rise to a position of power.', '>>{stupid-rando} : I just mean to speak the obvious truth that he should never be President.', ">>{spartan6222} : Ya but don't put that on the Republican party (some of the voters sure) The party is pretty powerless at this point concerning Trump.

This story is just a massive hit piece with no facts.', '>>{moose_testes} : It would help if Trump had denied this, rather than stayed silent and allowed his team to put out a tacit admission through their question of why this is a bad question.', ">>{OBAMAS_BROTHER} : Idk, a lot of those are more than just coincidence. Too bad that isn't a form of the Mainstream media. Still not sure how this has anything to do with what we are taking about.", '>>{GoblinDiplomat} : Has anyone in the media directly asked him or his campaign yet?

Should he deny that he has small hands everytime it's mentioned?", ">>{RealDonaldTrump__} : I think I raise a very good point. Incompetent Obama and Crooked H have been fighting ISIS with what, like slingshots and catapults or something? I don't know. It's like they're losing to terrorists on purpose. Very low energy. When I'm in there we don't lose ok? You can mark it down, take it to the bank, sign it seal it deliver it, we don't lose to ISIS when I'm in there. If it takes one or two of these bombs okay that's what it takes. Obama is so weak on this stuff it's, you can't even believe how weak he is. I know how to fight ISIS and I think we'll be very successful, very successful in ISIS.", '>>{StarDestinyGuy} : I\'m not talking about anything at a town hall, I\'m talking about this claim in the article: >"I\'ll be very careful here.

There are many things to attack Trump on, this is not one of them. He is both right and reasonable is asserting that we make these weapons because we will use them if necessary. Even Hillary Clinton has stated that she would use nuclear weapons against Iran if they nuked Israel.', ">>{reality-distortion} : Exactly. I'm certain the media would be calling him an idiot who doesn't understand deterrence if he had said he would not be willing to use them.", '>>{DrunkenGenie} : That is the point, he seems too willing to use them, even sounding like he may use them first. Clinton has stated she would use them to retaliate, Trump sounds like he wants to use them first.', '>>{moose_testes} : Who said I agree? I disagree. If he never made an ass of himself in front of intelligence officials then he should say so. Or if not him, then one of his senior campaign officials. No denial from anyone in the Trump camp.

No. No you didn\'t, you said "You should let him know". Context is everything. Saying you\'re saying things you flat out didn\'t say really it makes it hard to have a discussion with you.', '>>{moose_testes} : Bahahahaha! "You never said \'how you feel\'! Fallacy!

The amount of information on the server was comparitively tiny when compared to the volume of email on the server and it has all the hallmarks of being spillage rather than intentional mishandling. The meeting with the AG was almost certainly to give her a reason to step back and put the onus of the decision on Comey, which is a political stunt, not criminal.

It's funny - the longer you live, the more dead people you know.", '>>{Freckled_daywalker} : I don\'t think the case is technically closed, but barring a discovery that Comey hid evidence (which, if it existed, I think would have been leaked by now), I\'m not sure what a new investigation could find. This whole thing hinges on intent and unless Hillary suddenly says "yup, totally knew what I was doing", there\'s always going to be reasonable doubt because none of the information was marked appropriately.', ">>{Tschmelz} : Oh, I'm sorry, do you need somebody to tell you not to do bad things?", ">>{Freckled_daywalker} : >I care about the first three you mentioned, and Trump has said that he will do whatever he can to keep them the way they are, while looking to solving our debt problem. His proposed health care policy on his website literally says he wants to privatize Medicare. That's the literally the opposite of keeping it the way it is.", '>>{Freckled_daywalker} : Eh, he arguably could have waited until he verified that there was actually new evidence. There was a high probability the emails were just copies of what they previously had and Comey, as FBI director, had wide latitude to decide what constitutes "a new development". He opted to cover his ass in case the evidence did turn out to be something new and it came out after the election, and that may be judged to have been contrary to long standing DOJ guidance against releasing information that could influence the election so close to election day. It\'s all pretty subjective, potential ethical violations, rather than criminal charges.', ">>{GaryRuppert} : i'm just saying.. if they were so bad, how come Obama didn't do anything?", '>>{LucienLibrarian} : http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/obameter/promise/175/end-the-use-of-torture/ And those things are already barred, but Trump wants to change the rules...or ignore them.']

The amount of information on the server was comparitively tiny when compared to the volume of email on the server and it has all the hallmarks of being spillage rather than intentional mishandling.

There was a high probability the emails were just copies of what they previously had and Comey, as FBI director, had wide latitude to decide what constitutes "a new development". He opted to cover his ass in case the evidence did turn out to be something new and it came out after the election, and that may be judged to have been contrary to long standing DOJ guidance against releasing information that could influence the election so close to election day.

Since 1976, 1,414 people have been executed in the U.S. That’s 11% of Americans who were sentenced to die, but later exonerated and freed.

I imagine undemocratic acts are only more likely to make a candidate win, not guarantee them to win. So no reason to think they could have engaged in them and still end up losing.

One could say Clinton ramping up tensions against Russia would more likely put our military in danger. One could say the absolute lack of support Trump has is less likely to see him have any support in starting any wars. One could say Johnson's non-interventionist or isolationist views would more likely make sure not to see our military engage in unnecessary combat. None of that are absolute truths. The absolute truth is that a high ranking member of the DNC undemocratically helped get a candidate nominated. And that candidate is running for president now. Knowing this we can either elect her or not, and that's the decision we face. Hillary is part of the gaping hole in the wall. Patching it means getting rid of that gaping hold in the wall."]]

We mistakenly believed Vietnam attacked us and it triggered a war that disfigured their country to this day.

Normalizing the idea of sexual predation is the very crux of "rape culture."', '>>{bitterbut_true} : Hillary has \'launched\' the GENDER WAR. She says in a tweet: "Women have the power to stop Trump". So that\'s it then? Men vs Women? By using Trump\'s normal male \'sex drive\' to destroy him, Hillary has also \'let the cat out of the bag\'. She is showing that a society\'s power struggle is not solely a class struggle (between rich \'n poor). It\'s also a gender struggle between males and females. \'Pussy\' has value and even \'property rights\'--just like a block of flats.', ">>{kingsumo_1} : It's not personal, and not like I don't agree with a number of his criticisms. But for as long as I can remember that's all he's done. It wears thin after awhile. It's one of the reasons I hate people like Beck and Hannity (although far from the only with them). After beating on that same drum for so long, I'm just tired of even seeing the name show up. I think it's mostly that I fail to see his overall relevance at this point, or why people feel the need to put so much stock into what he has to say. Yes America is kind of fucked up and yes it's a monster of our own making. But find a new stance once in awhile. Maybe I'm just tired and cranky.", '>>{nightandshade} : Oh yeah. Who knows how many more people could have been murdered by her satanic pedophile email server from that pizza place in Benghazi had she been elected??', '>>{ilikeyoohoo} : It\'s not that complicated. We live in a culture that accepts many, beliefs, attitudes and actions that make men more likely to commit rape or acts of violence against women. Not so much that it\'s celebrated, but men look the other way, dismiss or minimize it. I don\'t like the phrase "rape culture" either, but it does exist.', ">>{EditorialComplex} : Here's the thing. Yeah, she probably would have carried out these strikes. But she would have had a coherent foreign policy surrounding them. There would have been diplomatic pressure on Assad. She wouldn't gave given him the green light like Tillerson did last week. She would have had concrete goals. With her, we would have known that it was keeping with her worldview and mindset, which believes that American military force should be used to prevent humanitarian catastrophes, like what Bill did in Kosovo. Sure, you can call her a hawk for it, but it's an ethos that she sticks to. With Donald, we have no idea. He suddenly reversed everything he's been saying since 2013. Was he overwhelmed with grief for the kids? Was he looking to appear strong after months of seeming weak and incompetent, with his poll numbers flagging? Did he want to try and undermine Russia accusations? It could be any of these. We don't know.", '>>{rogerpool123} : My comment was more of a slur on stupid Trump supporters being conned by the slob, they have no idea. And there is no way Trump has any say in what happens in Syria or Iran or NK, the war mongering Republicans are acting on plans they have had for years and there aint no stopping them.', ">>{Boxy310} : K. I'm sure that's the exact talking points you need to rebuild after that fiasco. Why don't you say that as publicly and as many times as you can? I'm sure that'll work out great.", ">>{slakmehl} : No, and I did say 'mildly' insane. I would say his intimations that Bill Clinton was more evil than Saddam Hussein or Osama Bin Laden would qualify.", ">>{kingsumo_1} : I didn't say he was wrong or that I disagreed with him. I'm just tired of people dragging him out. It doesn't matter who's in charge or what we're doing, Chomski will find a reason to criticize it. It's not even so much about him as a person, is that people continue to try and keep him culturally relevant. I don't need his continued arguments to remind me of the shit show we're currently in.", ">>{bearrosaurus} : I don't get your joke here. Do you think children getting gassed by nerve agents is funny?", '>>{montereybay} : At this point, the news media shouldn\'t even report on what Trump said unless it is verified to be true. Otherwise they should just say "Trump lied again today." Passing on his message is exactly what he wants.', '>>{antiquegeek} : You are just tired and cranky if you have a knee jerk reaction to seeing a name.

I'm sure you have a wealth of well-reasoned legal arguments about deterring rapes.", ">>{slakmehl} : Don't take it personally. I view Chomsky in the same vein as Ayn Rand and Karl Marx. They are all wrong that everything is the fault of the poor, or the rich, or the government, or America. It would be wonderfully simple if the world were a perpetual 1943 with an obvious singular enemy of civilization, but that comes rarely.", ">>{chingazo} : Sure he can. He doesn't have a problem with the babies. It's the baby's parents he's concerned about.", '>>{DrDaniels} : Wait, the creator of /r/altright got removed for havinf Jewish blood? Holy shit, who was that and when did that happen?', ">>{landragon} : Remember that no fly zone she proposed? Those jets wouldn't have been flying at all", ">>{kingsumo_1} : Heh. Fair enough.

Pay him no heed. They are the ramblings of a dying madman.", ">>{scobot} : I hate trump as much as the next sane citizen. The only reason he got elected is because Clinton is awful and plenty of people voted *against* her. I can't think of anything that would help Trump more than Clinton getting back on the public stage.", ">>{verbose_gent} : It's not a comment, it's a question. I'm asking. Has he been?", ">>{Joegotbored} : Trump seemed so concerned about those gassed babies and children, is generally forgetting that we don't know their parents and what they've been up to to?

It is the internet, after all.", ">>{DrDaniels} : Wasn't he doxed, and he ended up being a teenager?", '>>{75000_Tokkul} : His claim is that he was a law student and mentioned modding the place to a fellow student. Out of fear he would get expelled from school he deleted his account.

He also claimed he could t handle college and was going to use his Reddit modding to get a job.....somehow.', '>>{Viscount_Baron} : I think you may want to read up on Johnson. One word: "Jumbo".', ">>{AmericanFartBully} : No, it isn't. Because he's not really commenting on Russian hacking as much as Chomsky's misdirecting.

Otherwise, why should we care what Chomsky thinks?", ">>{75000_Tokkul} : I mod /r/againsthatesubreddits. I am disappointed because no matter how many rules they break, harassment they cause, and hate speech they post the admins won't take real action.

If he weren't a presidential candidate, no one would think much of it because it would be considered typical locker room talk. 2. The idea that if you get a woman drunk it's easier to fuck them is sometimes taken to extremes. Sometimes women choose to drink a lot and that's fine (so do men). But, they're often pressured or coerced to drink more than they normally would too, either directly, or women drink free keg parties at college campuses, no cover charge for women at clubs, stuff like that. 3. The belief that women must be submissive. This applies to sex and abusive relationships. 4. Blaming women for getting drunk or dressing sexy as the cause of their sexual assault, completely cutting out the actions of the perpetrator. It's just *expected* that men will act that way. 5.

It doesn't matter to them if they break the rules or not, they are still going to go around crying censorship to anyone and everyone.

You might not agree with his middle east policy, but you are going to look like an idiot if you try to categorize him with the likes of Michael Moore or Ann Coulter. To address the post you defend... Chomsky doesn't suggest anyone can't complain about Russian election hacking, nor does he make any claim that peace with Russia is a bad thing. You need to be calling out those claims not the credibility of Chomsky. More importantly Chomsky doesn't even make the claim of this post's title.

Chomsky's claim can be backed up by the last 3 decades of Iran's behavior. One caveat may be the Iranian Revolutionary Guard which operates a rouge strategy somewhat independent of the state. There is a huge problem with the US Iran strategy. By declaring Iran an enemy the US looses the ability to influence Iran, drove it to and encourages it maintain its embrace of Russia.

Another 20 percent said Trump doesn’t have the right kind of experience to be president, a reason largely cited by older voters. Age also accounted for differences in other areas of the survey. Retirees, for example, were half as likely to name sexism as one of their top gripes with Trump and three times more likely than their youngest counterparts to say Clinton is too liberal.

Then the ban comes up and it\'s "Obama got this list and he did a ban too!" If it\'s bad - blame Obama even though you\'ve spent eight years disparaging the guy and believing you can do better after being called out for saying you\'re just following his lead. If it\'s good, no one has ever done this incredible thing before! Then again, you know what? It finally makes sense now, all this time the media is calling him out on his lies, previous administrations criticize him for his recklessness, and his devoted loyalty (or respect?) to Putin - this dude is gaslighting himself! He brags about the campaign and election in spite of data and pictures showing that he\'s not that extraordinary. He rejected the polls and unfavorable coverage - granted, I do think sometimes that some newspapers are a bit trigger happy to broadcast the outrage we need to feel, as if there didn\'t exist any outrage after he offended maybe half of the human race.

In this case - military conflicts. So maybe people like him as president and agree with his policies, but he has shown time and time again that one of his flaws is his inability to remain completely objective regardless of how others treat him. I believe the word people have been using is "transactional" - an eye for an eye. Maybe as a billionaire, your highest stake is money and influence. For a country, it\'s the current and future well-being of your constituents that are multi-faceted and can be derailed by other countries who just don\'t like the US. I\'m not sure if we will ever enter a war with his guy in office and NOT wonder whether or not this is because the leader of that country wouldn\'t let him build a hotel there or tweeted about him. It used to be a joke that he could cause conflicts with tweets, but his every move has tiptoed that closer and closer to an inevitability instead of "Well maybe if we delete his Twitter"', '>>{PublicAccount1234} : In a shock to literally no one, an old white person thinks that a black person smiling and nodding with them is the same thing as liking them.', ">>{ThaNorth} : This guy is obsessed with being liked.

Frankly I like Google Photos better than Apple's Photos apps, because you're not locked in. But - one thing you'll find is that first party Apple apps generally play nicer with other first party apps in iOS. So, sometimes it helps to just go with the default Apple app instead of a 3rd-party one. In terms of folder management, it's just something you sort of get used to.

What I miss? The headphone jack obviously it is rather an inconvenience but the SE is also a good jump if you're prefer smaller screens. As for apps?...

The things I miss the most from Android, as I said in the OP, is file management and scheduled mobile data. The thing is that iPhone doens\'t allow you to manage files, photos, and other things outside some specific apps. ie.: In Android I could create a folder called "Things" and throw there documents, photos, and any kind of file I wanted; I could also open Google Drive, OneDrive or Dropbox and transfer multiple files to these folders easily. In the other hand, you can\'t do this with iPhone; at least not in a proper simple way; you can make Google and OneDrive files available offline or you can create a folder in iCloud and access them offline in your iPhone, but you will also notice that transfer these cloud files between one another is not as simple (as you can only send one file by one to iCloud) or as intuitive as it is Android. I believe this happens cause in iPhone I\'m under the impression they believe each file belongs to it\'s own app, they don\'t really want you to move them around in the system. For me at least this is the hardest adaption, cause it recquires a new perspective about how to manage files (access, share, import, export) and it\'s limitations. Today, with cloud systems though, you can at least manage them one way or another, creating your clouded folders and acessing your most used or necessary files offline in them; so, besides not exactly the most easy and intuitive way to manage your documents it helps a lot. Other than that though, the system is pretty amazing. Everything is very smooth, there are a lot of features that are well integrated to make your life easier and that are way more than simple gimmicks (you will actually use these features cause they really work), after some exploring things are very intuitive, and Apple gives you some really nice apps right out of the box such as facetime [video calls], imessages [great message app full of nice features], garageband [create your own musics or sounds; it\'s really great], podcasts [sign to your favorite podcasts channel] and imovie [create your own movie with your pictures and videos]. It also seems that the iPhones have great build quality overall, and the iOS is made with their architecture in mind, so that may explain why even with inferior specs they still work so damn well.

I've switched between an iPhone 7 and Pixel, and I find it easier to use Google's services like Google Photos or Google Keep, just because it's easier to sync across all platforms. Frankly I like Google Photos better than Apple's Photos apps, because you're not locked in. But - one thing you'll find is that first party Apple apps generally play nicer with other first party apps in iOS. So, sometimes it helps to just go with the default Apple app instead of a 3rd-party one. In terms of folder management, it's just something you sort of get used to. If I needed to manage files outside of an app, I'd usually leverage Google Drive or Dropbox as a workaround. Hope this helps!", ">>{Kssio_Aug} : Yep, the only thing holding me back about it was because Google Drive didn't accept offline folders. However, I've just discovered the iCloud Drive. It will be enough to manage some offline files when needed! =)", ">>{realniggaonehunna} : But it's not a spec refresh. Only the storage was increased.", ">>{kadupse} : To be completely fair, at the resolution of the SE model the A9 chip is extremely good. In fact, it's still slightly better than the current Android flagships, so even without the spec bump it's still a very solid purchase. They should've upped the front camera and added 3D Touch though.", ">>{realniggaonehunna} : Yeah agreed. Even though Apple might not refresh the SE this year, they might next year. SE users don't really care about specs that much so we might see apple update the SE every other year.", ">>{felleese} : I'm seriously considering getting an iPhone. I've never used one though. I've had Android drive my very first smartphone. My question would be to those that made the jump to ios from a similar situation to myself, what was it like? Could you get used to it out did you come back? Are there particular things you miss?", ">>{jackdawKPEG14} : I'm thoroughly enjoying my SE as well! Battery life is one of the best I've experienced from any smart phone both android and iOS. I've had mine for a week and the battery life, GUI snappiness, and rear camera blew my expectations away! It's the prefect sized phone for people with medium sized hands HAHAHA", ">>{stereopaper} : I was a longtime android user, had the Galaxy S2 all the way to the S5 and a brand less camera less android phone for work. However, I noticed that my Galaxies always had a tendency to slow down considerably after a years use (even with a lot of memory) so I decided to get the iphone 7 this year. The transition was fairly simple, besides not having a physical back button (you get used to this quite easily) and I think touch gestures are very well engineered and thought out they make the phone easy to use. What I miss? The headphone jack obviously it is rather an inconvenience but the SE is also a good jump if you're prefer smaller screens. As for apps?... I don't think there's anything on Android that Apple can't compare to. I don't think I'll be turning back to Android for a long time. I love my iphone! The camera is also awesome.", '>>{iBZRK} : Welcome to the iPhone club. Now once you start getting other apple products you will fall deeper in love. The way all of apple products communicate with each other is on a whole another level that no other mobile OS can touch.', '>>{Kssio_Aug} : The transition has been quite simple for me too. The things I miss the most from Android, as I said in the OP, is file management and scheduled mobile data. The thing is that iPhone doens\'t allow you to manage files, photos, and other things outside some specific apps. ie.: In Android I could create a folder called "Things" and throw there documents, photos, and any kind of file I wanted; I could also open Google Drive, OneDrive or Dropbox and transfer multiple files to these folders easily. In the other hand, you can\'t do this with iPhone; at least not in a proper simple way; you can make Google and OneDrive files available offline or you can create a folder in iCloud and access them offline in your iPhone, but you will also notice that transfer these cloud files between one another is not as simple (as you can only send one file by one to iCloud) or as intuitive as it is Android. I believe this happens cause in iPhone I\'m under the impression they believe each file belongs to it\'s own app, they don\'t really want you to move them around in the system. For me at least this is the hardest adaption, cause it recquires a new perspective about how to manage files (access, share, import, export) and it\'s limitations. Today, with cloud systems though, you can at least manage them one way or another, creating your clouded folders and acessing your most used or necessary files offline in them; so, besides not exactly the most easy and intuitive way to manage your documents it helps a lot. Other than that though, the system is pretty amazing. Everything is very smooth, there are a lot of features that are well integrated to make your life easier and that are way more than simple gimmicks (you will actually use these features cause they really work), after some exploring things are very intuitive, and Apple gives you some really nice apps right out of the box such as facetime [video calls], imessages [great message app full of nice features], garageband [create your own musics or sounds; it\'s really great], podcasts [sign to your favorite podcasts channel] and imovie [create your own movie with your pictures and videos]. It also seems that the iPhones have great build quality overall, and the iOS is made with their architecture in mind, so that may explain why even with inferior specs they still work so damn well. In resume, if you don\'t mind or can adapt to the file management limitations, which with cloud services are easier to deal with, it is a REALLY great phone and easy to adapt.', '>>{jakeuten} : A9 wipes the floor with the S820/821, and is still a fair bit faster than the Exynos 8890 and Kirin 950.', ">>{justinx1029} : The file system is my main gripe with iOS.

The laws are indeed horrendous, but no matter how horrible the law is the law and it's difficult for politicians or government to overturn the justice system or law enforcement in individual cases like that.

Not to say the law isnt a huge problem, but there's plenty of totalitarian regimes and backwater theocracies out there in the world. The US has just become another one of them. I dont think not travelling to these places, so long as it's safe, is the answer. Rather, if I wish for them to progress, I believe it helps if people travel and make connections across cultures. I'd visit Thailand even tho I highly disagree with their laws against criticising the royals. The problem however is how the law was executed. Usually a new law will be announced long before it happens, with a precise date on when it takes effect. But this muslim ban was put in place immediately, even affecting people who live and have greencards in the US if they happened to be on vacation when this happened. The way they suddenly demanded that people would open their phones, tablets and computers with private content or they would have to forfeit their journey, most of which would probably already be paid for. How can you trust your money on a travel destination like that? Even Saudi-Arabia eventually 'fixed' the issue of the tourist who was raped and then charged for extramarital intercourse. She did break the law. The laws are indeed horrendous, but no matter how horrible the law is the law and it's difficult for politicians or government to overturn the justice system or law enforcement in individual cases like that.

Trump sticking to the script first time ever sent the stocks up 2% in Germany and 1,5 in Japan and US. It's all connected."]]

Yes, most of us will adapt and deal with it just like we do every time Apple eliminates yet another feature in the pursuit of thinner, lighter devices and fatter and wider profit margins. If Apple had included wireless charging or AirPods with the phone so that nothing was lost, it would have been forgivable. The way it is, the customer gained exactly nothing. We just *lost* functionality. And Apple probably added another $2-3 in profit on an already obscenely overpriced phon by eliminating a part. Apple makes great products. I like them. I've been using them for more than 30 years in fact. But I never shrink from criticizing them. I'm a fan, but not a *fan boy*. I don't appreciate it when I feel like Apple is giving us all a bit of a 'fuck you' as they sometimes do. If I'm honest, I miss the days when Apple was hungry and had a little more humility and more creative juice. I am happy to have seem them go from financial distress in the 1990s to becoming the most valuable company in the world. That was a miracle. But I'm not always crazy about the decisions they make. With all the money they have I feel like they are just coasting on fumes sometimes. Barely trying. That and they are arrogant sometimes.

It's literally impossible for me to do both now. I love the phone, but ignoring that it is a removed feature and convenience is incredibly ignorant of you. Just because YOU don't need to doesn't mean other people don't. I also have 2016 car that is my weekend car that has all the features so it's a non issue there. But it is not my daily driver.

It's my opinion that *if* everything you own is too old to support your thousand dollar phone, you should probably get some new stuff before you buy something that you can't use with anything else.

And funnily enough I'm Scottish, usually a nationality which voice processing technologies tend to have the most difficulty with in English.", ">>{TimothyGonzalez} : What is your experience with Google Now?

Have you bought bluetooth earphones?', ">>{DatDeLorean} : I've been using it since I got it on my Note 2 when it was first launched in the U.K., so I'm guessing 3 years or so now.

I\'ve just never found it to be consistently responsive to me. Once Google Now/Assistant is actively loaded in memory, it\'s fairly fine at being responsive. But unlike with Siri, it is not part of the system. It can and does get unloaded from active memory, and as soon as it does it either doesn\'t respond to "Ok Google" at all or takes a fair while to respond / react. Siri for me is always available and always responds as soon as I call for her or hold the home button. There\'s never any delay, never any sluggishness in responding. Google Now/Assistant can be just as fast, sometimes even faster... but it\'s nowhere near as consistent in my experience, and that makes it unpredictable at best and frustrating at worst.', ">>{Writtensine6} : I used a 5S, then changed to a Galaxy Note 4 then a lg G4 before switching back to a iPhone 7.

Anyone who makes excuses for this is the worst kind of Apple apologist honestly. The argument that Apple needed the space in the phone is specious. Will people eventually get used to it? Yes, most of us will adapt and deal with it just like we do every time Apple eliminates yet another feature in the pursuit of thinner, lighter devices and fatter and wider profit margins. If Apple had included wireless charging or AirPods with the phone so that nothing was lost, it would have been forgivable. The way it is, the customer gained exactly nothing. We just *lost* functionality. And Apple probably added another $2-3 in profit on an already obscenely overpriced phon by eliminating a part. Apple makes great products. I like them. I've been using them for more than 30 years in fact. But I never shrink from criticizing them. I'm a fan, but not a *fan boy*. I don't appreciate it when I feel like Apple is giving us all a bit of a 'fuck you' as they sometimes do. If I'm honest, I miss the days when Apple was hungry and had a little more humility and more creative juice. I am happy to have seem them go from financial distress in the 1990s to becoming the most valuable company in the world. That was a miracle. But I'm not always crazy about the decisions they make. With all the money they have I feel like they are just coasting on fumes sometimes. Barely trying. That and they are arrogant sometimes. The over-reliance on iPhone for 80% of their profits is alarming too. Seems unwise.

It's cool until you get messages in the middle of the night and enter a strobe nightmare. :-P", ">>{AH_MLP} : Buying one of the only smartphones that doesn't have a headphone jack when a headphone jack is something that matters to you is incredibly stupid", ">>{AH_MLP} : Yes, it's the newest iPhone available so I think it's ridiculous that people buying it don't understand that they are also gonna have to upgrade their other hardware. If you can't afford to upgrade your shit across the board, i.e. getting a Bluetooth adapter for your car, buying new headphones; then you obviously don't need the newest and most expensive smartphone available today.

If I'm listening to music it's daytime and I'm at work or hanging out. My battery lasts all day. Without fail.

I work long hours and when I head home on my long commute I want to listen to some music on my phone. But depending on how often I used my phone throughout the day, I also need a charge. It's literally impossible for me to do both now. I love the phone, but ignoring that it is a removed feature and convenience is incredibly ignorant of you. Just because YOU don't need to doesn't mean other people don't. I also have 2016 car that is my weekend car that has all the features so it's a non issue there. But it is not my daily driver.

The second speaker is actually the earpiece at the top of the phone. It's meant for stereo in landscape mode, not vertical. Even if both were on the bottom though, they wouldn't be 'idiotic'.

Why do you have to insult people that don't think the same? You get way too angry about people having a different opinion. It's my opinion that *if* everything you own is too old to support your thousand dollar phone, you should probably get some new stuff before you buy something that you can't use with anything else.

While the achievement is widely recognized, it is still largely unexplored why China was able to attain it within a short period. This study aims to fill the gap. Through a systematic political and socio-economic analysis, it identifies seven major drivers for China\'s success, including (1) the SARS outbreak as a wake-up call, (2) strong public support for government intervention in health care, (3) renewed political commitment from top leaders, (4) heavy government subsidies, (5) fiscal capacity backed by China\'s economic power, (6) financial and political responsibilities delegated to local governments and (7) programmatic implementation strategy. Three of the factors seem to be unique to China (i.e., the SARS outbreak, the delegation, and the programmatic strategy.) while the other factors are commonly found in other countries’ insurance expansion experiences. This study also discusses challenges and recommendations for China\'s health financing, such as reducing financial risk as an immediate task, equalizing benefit across insurance programs as a long-term goal, improving quality by tying provider payment to performance, and controlling costs through coordinated reform initiatives.

Trump registered the companies in August 2015, shortly after launching his presidential bid, according to The Post. "I would want to protect Saudi Arabia," he said during the interview. During his presidential campaign, the president-elect often called out his Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, for accepting money from Saudi Arabia for the Clinton Foundation. http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/306990-trump-appeared-to-register-eight-companies-in-saudi-arabia', '>>{Sports-Nerd} : What was described in the article from The New Yorker is just bad business practice.', ">>{MartinSchou} : Yeah, but Saudi Arabia is the terrorism sponsor and theocratic dictatorship that we like, while Iran is the terrorism sponsor and theocratic dictatorship that we don't like.", ">>{Tcampd12} : All you need to know.

I am an avid iPhone user, but lets go over these posts together. First off, removing the headphone jack is not the same as removing the floppy disc back in the day. Everyone uses headphone jacks and (while they do have alternative options) there is no real suitable replacement in the industry as of now. Being waterproof is nice, but is by no means an innovation in the industry and is honestly bot even as protected as some other phones on the market. Stereo speakers is nice. Again not innovative but still a nice add on. Internal storage has always been an issue with iPhones, and this line is no different. I shouldn't have to pay $129 more for the next storage unit up. The camera update is a plus, if you get the 7plus. The 7 has an average camera at best. Performance. This is where you got me with this post. This phone is running a quad core processor, but not quite up to par with the snapdragon processor in the S7 edge. All in all, this phone is average at best, missing some key features, and should be regarded as such. All this being said, I still want the phone, but this subreddit is full of biased posts like this one.", '>>{svk7} : >Waterproof 1) No, not waterPROOF. WaterRESISTANT, which is a world of a difference. It cannot withstand more than 1 meter of water pressure. This is for small splashes. Nothing more. 2) So what? Samsung did this **without** killing the audio jack. >Stereo speakers 1) See above #2 >32gb base 1) See above #1 2) Apple has been slapping their users in the face with 16 GB for the last year. That they *just* started offering 32 GB is an absolute JOKE.', '>>{Popetown} : Well, I was trying to streamline the situation but I suppose I could also go the other direction and hook some speakers up to the Lightning to 3.5 adapter then enclose that speaker into a cardboard box which also contains an atmospheric microphone and amp which outputs to a 3.5 jack... I might be onto somewhere there.', '>>{Mavendreas} : You cant compare samsungs speakers to even one front facing speaker. There is no comparison. Also the zoom is available right now on the plus, it is the portrait photo that is not currently available.', '>>{__redruM} : Are the new features IOS10 features or iphone 7?', ">>{4thezulus} : >Performance. This is where you got me with this post. This phone is running a quad core processor, but not quite up to par with the snapdragon processor in the S7 edge. Benchmarks disagree. Where are you coming from with this claim? Everything I've seen has the A10 as the best chip on market now. One benchmark site as an example: https://daringfireball.net/linked/2016/09/14/geekbench-android-a10", ">>{avoicelikealion} : Not everyone uses the headphones jack though. It's widely used, yes. But not by everyone. Plus Apple includes an adapter to ease this issue. I could see this being a serious issue if a vast majority of users are constantly charging their phones while trying to use headphones, but I don't think that's a common occurrence. At least not from what I've seen.", '>>{CodyCus} : I plug my charge in and my headphone jack in every single day in my car, a 2014 Sentra, and now I cannot do that without spending more money. Its just a major inconvenience and a way for them to make more money off attachments. The 3.5mm jack is the most widely used audio jack on the market. Its a bit ridiculous.', ">>{crashing_this_thread} : I'd try to enjoy it. Have the same luxury problem, but with 64GB. I figured I could download movies or TV shows onto it, but damn Netflix streams everything so that plan didn't work. Look around for something. One day you'll find something you have denied yourself because you didn't want to waste space on your phone.", ">>{elynnism} : I went from android to windows to iPhone. Didn't really want to break from windows phone but Verizon was relentless about not supporting it so I took the plunge. Have really enjoyed my iPhone experience. I had two previous androids that bricked with their new updates and was tired and frustrated that apps wouldn't work after certain updates. I haven't had issues like that wth iPhone. Only real issue I had was my phone would shut off at 26% battery and wouldn't turn back on until I plugged it in, but an update came out and fixed it within a few weeks.", '>>{crashing_this_thread} : >buys iPhone >duct tapes shit to it Why not just wear a track suit and move to Poland while you are at it, filthy peasant./s You could use tape that is a little less eye catching though.', ">>{crashing_this_thread} : It's usually always good on launch though. Then it disappoints further down the line. Usually just in time for the next upgrade.", '>>{GarciaJones} : You do realize that even android enthusiasts are aware that apples iOS being built around hardware is much easier to run than an android counterpart right ? Don\'t write a bullshit post like this and find the flaws. Everything in life has a flaw. Fucking human life has flaws, death, taxes, cancer . Chill out man you sound so damn spoiled writing like this . Look, I\'m a dual android guy and iPhone guy. I\'m a sound engineer and having both allows me the best of both worlds especially working in entertainment. The way Apple hardware delegates to software internally is much easier than android so, as benchmarks show, it\'s up there with its rival counterparts in android. Imagine having a car with 8 cylinders and weighing over 3,000 pounds, you brag to your friends how powerful and full of torque the transmission is . You see my car which is all electric. On paper you see a weaker transmission, not understanding that by being electric the torque is higher and can keep up with your V8. These are phones. People here in this sub love to find the cool and easy things about t and talk. Coming here with that attitude doesn\'t only make you sound like a first world millennial bitching about problems you didn\'t even knew existed prior to 7 years ago, but worse, it could have been your last thought and shout to the world. If you died the last thing you said to the entire span of human evolution was " this phone is average at best " Chill my dude. Relax . Don\'t do it. Now take a look at these Boca shots I mean, unreal!', ">>{jphilly11} : Dude, just shut up. Yous a hater who's having a bad day. Want a hug?", ">>{lmao_zebong} : I felt the same way until I bought I $15 Bluetooth-to-aux receiver and realized how much better and more convenient it is.

They are super cheap these days and you get the best of both worlds. You can charge and listen off the lightning cable, and if you are lazy like me, just Bluetooth connect as soon as you get in the car, no pissing about.

CDC Study: 1989 – 1997 An underwater welder’s life expectancy is not the same as your white-collar office worker. Last recorded, welder-divers die at a rate that is 40 times America’s national average. This diver average death rate was researched from the United States Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s article (OSHA’s study) from 1989 – 1997. I go into more detail on this study in this article, but here’s the breakdown: >The corresponding annual death rate of 5 out of approximately 3,000 full-time underwater welders. It touted drowning as the number one cause of death. >Large studies on underwater welders’ life expectancy is still limited due to the small population size in this field. About 5,500 – 7,500 divers work in the United States during any given moment. This number drops during the “offseason” offshore. Let’s look current fatality rates using current occupation population: >6,500 (average US underwater welder population) >6,500 / 3,000 = 2.17 >2.17 X 5 = 11 >Based on old fatality rates and new population statistics, approximately 11 welder-divers die every year. >In addition, underwater welding and commercial diving are listed as a “non-hazardous” profession in the eyes of the government.

This diver average death rate was researched from the United States Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s article (OSHA’s study) from 1989 – 1997. I go into more detail on this study in this article, but here’s the breakdown: >The corresponding annual death rate of 5 out of approximately 3,000 full-time underwater welders. It touted drowning as the number one cause of death. >Large studies on underwater welders’ life expectancy is still limited due to the small population size in this field. About 5,500 – 7,500 divers work in the United States during any given moment. This number drops during the “offseason” offshore. Let’s look current fatality rates using current occupation population: >6,500 (average US underwater welder population) >6,500 / 3,000 = 2.17 >2.17 X 5 = 11 >Based on old fatality rates and new population statistics, approximately 11 welder-divers die every year. >In addition, underwater welding and commercial diving are listed as a “non-hazardous” profession in the eyes of the government. Their labeling gives little to no incentive for increased regulations and enforcement of those regulations.

In 2006 this was deemed as a necessary evil. - I think it's great that Trump criticized the move - however - he has no real power over House rules and has no way to influence the decision - separation of powers is great that way (or bad depending how you look at it idk?) - This isn't about the ethics committee - this is about the Office of Congressional Ethics which historically has been used to smear democrats - so retooling this committee will actually help democrats since their will be tighter processes and house members can't just use it to air grievances. - Finally - (shameless plug on how terrible the media is) once again we see a media frenzy over a story that has not fully developed and is spun into oblivion misleading many American citizens.

This last includes children\'s right to a free public school education. Hello, I wrote this "debate toolkit" to deal with Trump supporters about immigration. It has their basic arguments - and counters against them. I made it free so you can modify/expand it at will. This way it\'s easier to fight back by simply pasting this and referring to whatever section applies. For example, if someone argues that undocumented immigration is a crime, you can refer them to point #1 below. Reliable sources are cited, but all information is very basic and verifiable elsewhere.   **---ANTI-TRUMP DEBATE TOOLKIT: UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRATION---** Arguments by Trump supporters, and their flaws   **1\\. "Illegal immigration is a CRIME, so they should be deported. It\'s that SIMPLE."** **No, it\'s not that simple.** Undocumented migration is NOT a crime – instead, it\'s a civil or administrative violation. It doesn\'t fall under the criminal court system AT ALL. This point is not up for debate anymore. As of 2012, the SCOTUS ruled that “As a general rule, it is not a crime for a removable alien to remain in the United States” (ARIZONA et al. v. UNITED STATES). There is even a non-criminal term for entering the US without papers: it\'s "entry without inspection" (EWI). Notice we don\'t call it "criminal entry" or "national trespassing". https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/11-182 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arizona_v._United_States Further, since “[i]n and of itself, illegal immigration is a civil matter, [this] means it\'s ruled by civil law, not criminal law. Immigration cases are heard in front of an administrative law judge, not a criminal judge.” http://www.providencejournal.com/blogs/20160531/let-me-remind-you-that-illegal-immigration-is-not-crime To this, the stubborn anti-immigrant will shift goalposts, and now insist the below:   **2\\. "Well...if it\'s not criminal, illegal immigration is still ILLEGAL, so they should be DEPORTED!!!"** **Not so fast.** Just because an illegal (but non-criminal) action occurred, it does not mean that the harshest penalties HAVE to be applied. It\'s not a legal necessity. Discretion matters, and it manifests itself through all 3 branches of government:   a. The executive branch can legally "de-prioritize" non-criminal undocumented workers. (Recall, as per #1 above, that they are not criminals at all). Obama did this - and the courts did not overturn it. He also created the DACA program, which (so far) allowed the legal stay of about 750,000 undocumented immigrants.   b. The judicial branch can exercise both discretionary relief and administrative/judicial relief. The conditions for either are complex, but the point is clear. They involve a DUE PROCESS with judiciary discretion to allow for the stay of removable aliens. For example, in February 2017, an immigration judge stopped the deportation of an Ann Arbor father of four. Originally from Jordania, this US person had two convictions for non-violent crimes in the early 2000s. But the judge granted a deportation waiver "[g]iven that the crimes occurred so long ago, and because it seemed evident [his] family would face extreme hardship if he was deported..." The judge also noted the person\'s work ethic as well as his support by hundreds of neighbors. http://www.mlive.com/news/ann-arbor/index.ssf/2017/02/immigration_judge_allows_ann_a.html   c. Finally, the legislative branch has the neatest solution of them all: simply pass a law so that (at least some) immigrants become documented. If someone is so bent about illegality, then legalization would remove his concern. Right? The law can simply provide a path to citizenship, and even require fines to fund other social programs. Anti-immigrants can bicker about the possibility of legalization, but it\'s not a new idea. In fact, Reagan himself offered widespread amnesty to immigrants in 1986 - and the consequences of this amnesty were rather positive, as we will see below. I know: you can tell all of the above to an anti-immigrant, and he may still dig in. Another of his guttural refrains is below.', '>>{JustGotOffOfTheTrain} : This move was in the news last night. I found out about it because Elizabeth Warren talked about it on her Facebook at around 9PM. It was a top story on Reddit within hours.', '>>{woolcommerce} : **3\\. “All this talk of rights is NONSENSE. They are ILLEGAL ALIENS. They do not have OUR rights.”** **Very wrong.** The US Constitution applies to all US persons, including undocumented immigrants. Again, the SCOTUS established this: >“The Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution is not confined to the protection of citizens. It says: ’Nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty or property without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the law.’ These provisions are universal in their application to all persons within the territorial jurisdiction, without regard to any differences of race, of color, or nationality; and the equal protection of the laws is a pledge of the protection of equal laws.” (Wong Wing v. United States, 163 U.S. 228 (1896)) The protections extend further – to the Fourth Amendment against unreasonable searches and seizures, and even free public education to all children under the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. So, illegal aliens actually have many, if not all, of our constitutional protections. It\'s the law. The below references at least some of the applicable SCOTUS cases: https://maldef.org/truthinimmigration/undocumented_immigrants_do_have_legal3192008/index.html At this point, with his legal ammunition near depletion, the anti-immigrant may retreat into political considerations. Below is something else you may encounter.   **4\\. “Well, that may all be true – but we are a NATION OF LAWS. If we pass amnesty, we will lose that!!!!"** **Literal nonsense, and historically unproven.** First, the argument is nonsense because none of the above points pertain to amnesty – they simply establish that undocumented migrants are not criminal, and are subject to governmental discretion as well as due process. This does not logically derive into amnesty. Further, to argue otherwise is to miss a much broader point: we actually show RESPECT for due process when we recognize the legal rights of immigrants – not when we turn them into legal pariahs. The second problem is that the lawlessness argument is historically unproven. In 1986, Reagan signed the Immigration Reform and Control Act. It actually granted amnesty to illegal aliens who entered before 1982. Yet this legalization did not result in a tidal wave of crime. In fact, it appears that the OPPOSITE occurred – Stanford economist S. Baker discovered that >“[f]ollowing legalization, [there were] national decreases in crime of approximately 2%-6% associated with one percent of the population being legalized, primarily due to a drop in property crimes. This fall in crime is equivalent to 160,000-480,000 fewer crimes committed each year due to legalization.” (Baker, Scott R. "Effects of Immigrant Legalization on Crime †". American Economic Review. 105 (5): 210–213.) I know this is exhausting, but let\'s turn to the anti-immigrant\'s last line of defense. You will notice it\'s essentially an “all-else” argument.', ">>{IslamicShibe} : Yeah well Reddit is not at all representative of voters or else we would have had president Paul then President Sanders (or Clinton). I watch the news all the time, I didn't see it until this morning when Conway was defending it like most Americans. Looks like Trump went against all his advisors on this one which was good", '>>{woolcommerce} : **5\\. "Even if we can grant amnesty without legal troubles, it will negatively affect our nation in other ways."** **Just how?** Let\'s talk crime, economics, and culture.   a. Crime: Above we showed a statistical study which found that Reagan\'s amnesty did LOWER crime rates. But this is actually one study of several that support the same conclusion. Consider that, >"[i]mmigration-crime research over the past 20 years has widely corroborated the conclusions of a number of early 20th-century presidential commissions that found no backing for the immigration-crime connection. Although there are always individual exceptions, the literature demonstrates that immigrants commit fewer crimes, on average, than native-born Americans." https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/immigrants-do-not-increase-crime-research-shows/ Also see: https://www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/research/criminalization-immigration-united-states Unlike the hysteria of Trump and his supporters, these studies are actually EMPIRICAL and VERIFIABLE. At least in principle, you can obtain their data and review them, as well as any formal models employed in them. You can even try to replicate them (given enough resources). Perhaps you can say that requires more education than the average American\'s. In that case, the solution is just as simple: get the training and education to investigate complex topics like immigration, and be modest about your knowledge (and your own conclusions) until then.   b. Economics: Here we focus on just two topics: the economic contribution of undocumented immigrants, and their purported usage of public benefits. First, the body of research tends to agree: undocumented immigrants tend to substitute for other low-skill labor, while complementing their higher-skilled counterparts. This is a trade-off, yet the OVERALL national impact is remarkably positive: >"Giovanni Peri, an economist at the University of California, Davis, has written a series of influential papers comparing the labor markets in states with high immigration levels to those with low ones. He concluded that undocumented workers do not compete with skilled laborers — instead, they complement them... In states with more undocumented immigrants, Peri said, skilled workers made more money and worked more hours; the economy’s productivity grew. From 1990 to 2007, undocumented workers increased legal workers’ pay in complementary jobs by up to 10 percent... There are many ways to debate immigration, but when it comes to economics, there isn’t much of a debate at all. Nearly all economists, of all political persuasions, agree that immigrants — those here legally or not — benefit the overall economy. “That is not controversial,” Heidi Shierholz, an economist at the Economic Policy Institute, told me. Shierholz also said that “there is a consensus that, on average, the incomes of families in this country are increased by a small, but clearly positive amount, because of immigration.” http://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/17/magazine/do-illegal-immigrants-actually-hurt-the-us-economy.html To be sure, there is still a chance that undocumented immigrants become an economic problem in the future. But this requires us to question our direction as a nation. If we are becoming more educated (and so arguably higher-skilled), then the undocumented laborers will be a further economic boost. If we were instead regressing in our education and skills, then we would all compete for ever lower wages. It\'s fair to say this is NOT happening. The United States is growing into a fuller service and knowledge economy, so the former scenario seems more reasonable. Undocumented laborers help (and will continue to help) our economy. Second, we examine the persistent notion that undocumented immigrants are a drain on the treasury. As with other critiques of immigration, this one also runs afoul of empirics. When the evidence is reviewed, it turns out that undocumented immigrants are not a drain. In fact, they are an added benefit to the treasury. Simply consider that, >"Stephen Goss, chief actuary for the Social Security Administration, [reports] that undocumented workers contribute about $15 billion a year to Social Security through payroll taxes. [Yet, they] only take out $1 billion (very few undocumented workers are eligible to receive benefits). Over the years, undocumented workers have contributed up to $300 billion, or nearly 10 percent, of the $2.7 trillion Social Security Trust Fund... [That said, t]he problem...is that undocumented workers are not evenly distributed. In areas like southern Texas and Arizona and even parts of Brooklyn, undocumented immigrants impose a substantial net cost to local and state governments..." http://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/17/magazine/do-illegal-immigrants-actually-hurt-the-us-economy.html So again the problem becomes one of nuance: the gross effect is positive, but there are exceptions. However, when this is the case, the sensible solution is not to consider removing the source of the net benefit (undocumented immigration) in favor of the exceptions. That is like abandoning your house because the windows leak water. (Better to fix them and try to save the house.) This leads us to a debate about sensible immigration reform, which has been the bone of contention until 2016 came along. Note: an anti-immigrant group, the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), had published research showing that undocumented immigration is a net drainage on public benefits. This research was shown to be flawed by the right-leaning Cato Institute - among other things, the CIS did not control for household size and other factors. Cato also informed CIS repeatedly of their methodological flaws, yet they persisted. See the Cato critique here: https://www.cato.org/blog/center-immigration-studies-exaggerates-immigrant-welfare-use (We are almost there. Let\'s turn to the one area that is left in the anti-immigrant\'s rhetorical arsenal.)   c. Culture: This is an area that is rarely expressed by anti-immigrants, and is very telling: why ignore the cultural effects of immigration? It seems so obvious to tackle - and it is here that we may get to the kernel of the issue. First, I offer the obvious pro-immigrant take on culture. Then I turn to its opposition. As a whole, immigration enriches the nation by diversifying its culture. In particular, US culture has done great wonders with the constant influx of diverse immigrants. Most, if not all, of the greatest cultural centers in our nation are places where cultures mix: the Northeast, the West Coast, and South Florida suggest themselves. They are not cesspools of depravity, but cultural cauldrons where artists and scientists alike mix – and where a great social discourse peppers life with myriad contributions. To negate this is to ignore the cultural history of this country. (I leave these claims for others to elaborate.) On the other hand, what are the cultural arguments AGAINST immigration - undocumented and otherwise? One possibility is that immigrants will not integrate. But, large and by, this is proven false. In fact, a 2015 study by the National Academy of Science found that, >"[o]verall...current immigrants and their descendants are integrating into U.S. society...Across all measurable outcomes, integration increases over time, with immigrants becoming more like the native-born with more time in the country, and with the second and third generations becoming more like other native-born Americans than their parents were." http://www.nap.edu/catalog/21746/the-integration-of-immigrants-into-american-society http://books.google.com/books/about/The_Integration_of_Immigrants_Into_Ameri.html?id=LZTRCwAAQBAJ Another study is the Indicators of Immigrant Integration, which compares integration across EU and OECD countries. It also generally rates the US in a positive light with respect to immigrant integration: http://www.oecd.org/migration/indicators-of-immigrant-integration-2015-settling-in-9789264234024-en.htm The above studies, as well as a third one, are also discussed here: http://www.cato.org/blog/great-assimilation-scare In short, there are reputable studies showing that immigrants DO integrate into society. But with the intellectual walls closing in, the stalwart anti-immigrant will still denounce that "American society" is corrupted by new immigrants. No matter the arguments. No matter the evidence. It is at this point that we grant him one small but significant concession: Yes, American society will not remain the same with more immigration. It will invariably change – and that is kind of the whole point. When we allow immigrants, we don\'t only help foster their dreams of America. We help ours as well. High-immigrant cities tend to be hubs of innovation, commerce, and culture. To the degree that we see a better future in those activities, then immigration justifies itself. But if we sacrifice those goals in favor of some fossilized image of America, then the walls are already erected. We do have a choice, and it is powerful. I don\'t hope to change many stubborn minds with this, but I do want to give pro-immigrants the tools to defend their viewpoints. The world is on our side – so is history and the evidence.

This last includes children\'s right to a free public school education. Hello, I wrote this "debate toolkit" to deal with Trump supporters about immigration. It has their basic arguments - and counters against them. I made it free so you can modify/expand it at will. This way it\'s easier to fight back by simply pasting this and referring to whatever section applies. For example, if someone argues that undocumented immigration is a crime, you can refer them to point #1 below. Reliable sources are cited, but all information is very basic and verifiable elsewhere.   **---ANTI-TRUMP DEBATE TOOLKIT: UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRATION---** Arguments by Trump supporters, and their flaws   **1\\. "Illegal immigration is a CRIME, so they should be deported. It\'s that SIMPLE."** **No, it\'s not that simple.** Undocumented migration is NOT a crime – instead, it\'s a civil or administrative violation. It doesn\'t fall under the criminal court system AT ALL. This point is not up for debate anymore. As of 2012, the SCOTUS ruled that “As a general rule, it is not a crime for a removable alien to remain in the United States” (ARIZONA et al. v. UNITED STATES). There is even a non-criminal term for entering the US without papers: it\'s "entry without inspection" (EWI). Notice we don\'t call it "criminal entry" or "national trespassing". https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/11-182 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arizona_v._United_States Further, since “[i]n and of itself, illegal immigration is a civil matter, [this] means it\'s ruled by civil law, not criminal law. Immigration cases are heard in front of an administrative law judge, not a criminal judge.” http://www.providencejournal.com/blogs/20160531/let-me-remind-you-that-illegal-immigration-is-not-crime To this, the stubborn anti-immigrant will shift goalposts, and now insist the below:   **2\\. "Well...if it\'s not criminal, illegal immigration is still ILLEGAL, so they should be DEPORTED!!!"** **Not so fast.** Just because an illegal (but non-criminal) action occurred, it does not mean that the harshest penalties HAVE to be applied. It\'s not a legal necessity. Discretion matters, and it manifests itself through all 3 branches of government:   a. The executive branch can legally "de-prioritize" non-criminal undocumented workers. (Recall, as per #1 above, that they are not criminals at all). Obama did this - and the courts did not overturn it. He also created the DACA program, which (so far) allowed the legal stay of about 750,000 undocumented immigrants.   b. The judicial branch can exercise both discretionary relief and administrative/judicial relief. The conditions for either are complex, but the point is clear. They involve a DUE PROCESS with judiciary discretion to allow for the stay of removable aliens. For example, in February 2017, an immigration judge stopped the deportation of an Ann Arbor father of four. Originally from Jordania, this US person had two convictions for non-violent crimes in the early 2000s. But the judge granted a deportation waiver "[g]iven that the crimes occurred so long ago, and because it seemed evident [his] family would face extreme hardship if he was deported..." The judge also noted the person\'s work ethic as well as his support by hundreds of neighbors. http://www.mlive.com/news/ann-arbor/index.ssf/2017/02/immigration_judge_allows_ann_a.html   c. Finally, the legislative branch has the neatest solution of them all: simply pass a law so that (at least some) immigrants become documented. If someone is so bent about illegality, then legalization would remove his concern. Right? The law can simply provide a path to citizenship, and even require fines to fund other social programs. Anti-immigrants can bicker about the possibility of legalization, but it\'s not a new idea. In fact, Reagan himself offered widespread amnesty to immigrants in 1986 - and the consequences of this amnesty were rather positive, as we will see below. I know: you can tell all of the above to an anti-immigrant, and he may still dig in. Another of his guttural refrains is below.', '>>{woolcommerce} : **3\\. “All this talk of rights is NONSENSE. They are ILLEGAL ALIENS. They do not have OUR rights.”** **Very wrong.** The US Constitution applies to all US persons, including undocumented immigrants. Again, the SCOTUS established this: >“The Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution is not confined to the protection of citizens. It says: ’Nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty or property without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the law.’ These provisions are universal in their application to all persons within the territorial jurisdiction, without regard to any differences of race, of color, or nationality; and the equal protection of the laws is a pledge of the protection of equal laws.” (Wong Wing v. United States, 163 U.S. 228 (1896)) The protections extend further – to the Fourth Amendment against unreasonable searches and seizures, and even free public education to all children under the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. So, illegal aliens actually have many, if not all, of our constitutional protections. It\'s the law. The below references at least some of the applicable SCOTUS cases: https://maldef.org/truthinimmigration/undocumented_immigrants_do_have_legal3192008/index.html At this point, with his legal ammunition near depletion, the anti-immigrant may retreat into political considerations. Below is something else you may encounter.   **4\\. “Well, that may all be true – but we are a NATION OF LAWS. If we pass amnesty, we will lose that!!!!"** **Literal nonsense, and historically unproven.** First, the argument is nonsense because none of the above points pertain to amnesty – they simply establish that undocumented migrants are not criminal, and are subject to governmental discretion as well as due process. This does not logically derive into amnesty. Further, to argue otherwise is to miss a much broader point: we actually show RESPECT for due process when we recognize the legal rights of immigrants – not when we turn them into legal pariahs. The second problem is that the lawlessness argument is historically unproven. In 1986, Reagan signed the Immigration Reform and Control Act. It actually granted amnesty to illegal aliens who entered before 1982. Yet this legalization did not result in a tidal wave of crime. In fact, it appears that the OPPOSITE occurred – Stanford economist S. Baker discovered that >“[f]ollowing legalization, [there were] national decreases in crime of approximately 2%-6% associated with one percent of the population being legalized, primarily due to a drop in property crimes. This fall in crime is equivalent to 160,000-480,000 fewer crimes committed each year due to legalization.” (Baker, Scott R. "Effects of Immigrant Legalization on Crime †". American Economic Review. 105 (5): 210–213.) I know this is exhausting, but let\'s turn to the anti-immigrant\'s last line of defense. You will notice it\'s essentially an “all-else” argument.', '>>{woolcommerce} : **5\\. "Even if we can grant amnesty without legal troubles, it will negatively affect our nation in other ways."** **Just how?** Let\'s talk crime, economics, and culture.   a. Crime: Above we showed a statistical study which found that Reagan\'s amnesty did LOWER crime rates. But this is actually one study of several that support the same conclusion. Consider that, >"[i]mmigration-crime research over the past 20 years has widely corroborated the conclusions of a number of early 20th-century presidential commissions that found no backing for the immigration-crime connection. Although there are always individual exceptions, the literature demonstrates that immigrants commit fewer crimes, on average, than native-born Americans." https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/immigrants-do-not-increase-crime-research-shows/ Also see: https://www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/research/criminalization-immigration-united-states Unlike the hysteria of Trump and his supporters, these studies are actually EMPIRICAL and VERIFIABLE. At least in principle, you can obtain their data and review them, as well as any formal models employed in them. You can even try to replicate them (given enough resources). Perhaps you can say that requires more education than the average American\'s. In that case, the solution is just as simple: get the training and education to investigate complex topics like immigration, and be modest about your knowledge (and your own conclusions) until then.   b. Economics: Here we focus on just two topics: the economic contribution of undocumented immigrants, and their purported usage of public benefits. First, the body of research tends to agree: undocumented immigrants tend to substitute for other low-skill labor, while complementing their higher-skilled counterparts. This is a trade-off, yet the OVERALL national impact is remarkably positive: >"Giovanni Peri, an economist at the University of California, Davis, has written a series of influential papers comparing the labor markets in states with high immigration levels to those with low ones. He concluded that undocumented workers do not compete with skilled laborers — instead, they complement them... In states with more undocumented immigrants, Peri said, skilled workers made more money and worked more hours; the economy’s productivity grew. From 1990 to 2007, undocumented workers increased legal workers’ pay in complementary jobs by up to 10 percent... There are many ways to debate immigration, but when it comes to economics, there isn’t much of a debate at all. Nearly all economists, of all political persuasions, agree that immigrants — those here legally or not — benefit the overall economy. “That is not controversial,” Heidi Shierholz, an economist at the Economic Policy Institute, told me. Shierholz also said that “there is a consensus that, on average, the incomes of families in this country are increased by a small, but clearly positive amount, because of immigration.” http://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/17/magazine/do-illegal-immigrants-actually-hurt-the-us-economy.html To be sure, there is still a chance that undocumented immigrants become an economic problem in the future. But this requires us to question our direction as a nation. If we are becoming more educated (and so arguably higher-skilled), then the undocumented laborers will be a further economic boost. If we were instead regressing in our education and skills, then we would all compete for ever lower wages. It\'s fair to say this is NOT happening. The United States is growing into a fuller service and knowledge economy, so the former scenario seems more reasonable. Undocumented laborers help (and will continue to help) our economy. Second, we examine the persistent notion that undocumented immigrants are a drain on the treasury. As with other critiques of immigration, this one also runs afoul of empirics. When the evidence is reviewed, it turns out that undocumented immigrants are not a drain. In fact, they are an added benefit to the treasury. Simply consider that, >"Stephen Goss, chief actuary for the Social Security Administration, [reports] that undocumented workers contribute about $15 billion a year to Social Security through payroll taxes. [Yet, they] only take out $1 billion (very few undocumented workers are eligible to receive benefits). Over the years, undocumented workers have contributed up to $300 billion, or nearly 10 percent, of the $2.7 trillion Social Security Trust Fund... [That said, t]he problem...is that undocumented workers are not evenly distributed. In areas like southern Texas and Arizona and even parts of Brooklyn, undocumented immigrants impose a substantial net cost to local and state governments..." http://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/17/magazine/do-illegal-immigrants-actually-hurt-the-us-economy.html So again the problem becomes one of nuance: the gross effect is positive, but there are exceptions. However, when this is the case, the sensible solution is not to consider removing the source of the net benefit (undocumented immigration) in favor of the exceptions. That is like abandoning your house because the windows leak water. (Better to fix them and try to save the house.) This leads us to a debate about sensible immigration reform, which has been the bone of contention until 2016 came along. Note: an anti-immigrant group, the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), had published research showing that undocumented immigration is a net drainage on public benefits. This research was shown to be flawed by the right-leaning Cato Institute - among other things, the CIS did not control for household size and other factors. Cato also informed CIS repeatedly of their methodological flaws, yet they persisted. See the Cato critique here: https://www.cato.org/blog/center-immigration-studies-exaggerates-immigrant-welfare-use (We are almost there. Let\'s turn to the one area that is left in the anti-immigrant\'s rhetorical arsenal.)   c. Culture: This is an area that is rarely expressed by anti-immigrants, and is very telling: why ignore the cultural effects of immigration? It seems so obvious to tackle - and it is here that we may get to the kernel of the issue. First, I offer the obvious pro-immigrant take on culture. Then I turn to its opposition. As a whole, immigration enriches the nation by diversifying its culture. In particular, US culture has done great wonders with the constant influx of diverse immigrants. Most, if not all, of the greatest cultural centers in our nation are places where cultures mix: the Northeast, the West Coast, and South Florida suggest themselves. They are not cesspools of depravity, but cultural cauldrons where artists and scientists alike mix – and where a great social discourse peppers life with myriad contributions. To negate this is to ignore the cultural history of this country. (I leave these claims for others to elaborate.) On the other hand, what are the cultural arguments AGAINST immigration - undocumented and otherwise? One possibility is that immigrants will not integrate. But, large and by, this is proven false. In fact, a 2015 study by the National Academy of Science found that, >"[o]verall...current immigrants and their descendants are integrating into U.S. society...Across all measurable outcomes, integration increases over time, with immigrants becoming more like the native-born with more time in the country, and with the second and third generations becoming more like other native-born Americans than their parents were." http://www.nap.edu/catalog/21746/the-integration-of-immigrants-into-american-society http://books.google.com/books/about/The_Integration_of_Immigrants_Into_Ameri.html?id=LZTRCwAAQBAJ Another study is the Indicators of Immigrant Integration, which compares integration across EU and OECD countries. It also generally rates the US in a positive light with respect to immigrant integration: http://www.oecd.org/migration/indicators-of-immigrant-integration-2015-settling-in-9789264234024-en.htm The above studies, as well as a third one, are also discussed here: http://www.cato.org/blog/great-assimilation-scare In short, there are reputable studies showing that immigrants DO integrate into society. But with the intellectual walls closing in, the stalwart anti-immigrant will still denounce that "American society" is corrupted by new immigrants. No matter the arguments. No matter the evidence. It is at this point that we grant him one small but significant concession: Yes, American society will not remain the same with more immigration. It will invariably change – and that is kind of the whole point. When we allow immigrants, we don\'t only help foster their dreams of America. We help ours as well. High-immigrant cities tend to be hubs of innovation, commerce, and culture. To the degree that we see a better future in those activities, then immigration justifies itself. But if we sacrifice those goals in favor of some fossilized image of America, then the walls are already erected. We do have a choice, and it is powerful. I don\'t hope to change many stubborn minds with this, but I do want to give pro-immigrants the tools to defend their viewpoints. The world is on our side – so is history and the evidence.

The committee could also take anonymous tips and leak the information - some suspect these anonymous tips could come from politically motivated sources (aka a republican trying to run and wants to damage their opponents image). In 2006 this was deemed as a necessary evil. - I think it's great that Trump criticized the move - however - he has no real power over House rules and has no way to influence the decision - separation of powers is great that way (or bad depending how you look at it idk?) - This isn't about the ethics committee - this is about the Office of Congressional Ethics which historically has been used to smear democrats - so retooling this committee will actually help democrats since their will be tighter processes and house members can't just use it to air grievances. - Finally - (shameless plug on how terrible the media is) once again we see a media frenzy over a story that has not fully developed and is spun into oblivion misleading many American citizens.

This led to tension with the young Baby Boom generation, especially those attending college and University. These Boomers would go on to professional success in the workplace which often put their economic worldview at odds with the worldview of the working class, but they retained their culturally liberal attitudes for the most part.

This led to tension with the young Baby Boom generation, especially those attending college and University. These Boomers would go on to professional success in the workplace which often put their economic worldview at odds with the worldview of the working class, but they retained their culturally liberal attitudes for the most part.

Sorry that didn't fix your problem. Maybe your headphone port connection is slightly corroded due to moisture over the years, resulting in a bad connection. Although I'm not entirely sure if yours is a case of a corroded port, but here's how to clean one: Switch your phone off first... 1) with a q-tip dip lightly in distilled white vinegar, then insert it into your headphone port and scrub the connections 2) then with another q-tip soak it in a little isopropyl alcohol and flush out the port Make sure your port is clean before you do this, so you won't jam any lint or dust deeper into the port.

Hope this works for you :-)", ">>{dinosaur_friend} : I think what you need to do is get hold of another phone and test all of the headphones you used with your iPhone on the other phone. Because both of your headphones may not be functioning correctly. If you still have issues with the other phone, then you know for sure that it's the headphones. It very well could be a software/driver issue. I'm having an issue with iOS 10 right now which causes all sound to stop working on my phone if I plug my earphones in while my phone is connected to its charger. I'm 90% sure that this is an iOS 10 software-driver issue after reading a few Apple threads about it--iOS 10 gets confused and causes the sound drivers to malfunction when more than one port is plugged. Or it could be a hardware issue. But I never had the issue come up on iOS 9 or under. If you really do feel it's a hardware issue, back up your phone with iTunes and set it up as a new phone and use it for a couple of hours to a few days and see if the issue comes up. It's not an ideal solution, but it might solve the issue. At this point there are so many issues with iOS 10 that it's hard to differentiate hardware from software issues (see: constant battery problems affecting iPhone 6 series and up on iOS 10)."]]

She\'s not the "average." She\'s what you get when rich people get to decide how your ballot is structured and counted. Don\'t get me wrong.

She\'s a corporate shill that does what rich people tell her to. I think Jill Stein gets so much hate based on headlines but that no one has watched the videos that generate the headlines. She\'s a doctor making subtle, but important, points, and our modern corporate media isn\'t equipped to handle that. Her supposed "anti vax" position comes from a video where she bemoans the corporate power over the FDA and wishes for better drug safety regulations.

The problem is that the GOP achieved its dream of turning around half the populace into completely brainwashed people devoid of any critical thinking. This is the scary part.

But there is a cult of one man that is on the same theological level as the Pope (by definition, he can\'t be wrong, and every move he does that appears to be bad is in fact a good move no one can see the effect of yet). This is the level of thinking that goes not surprisingly pretty well with religion (god does everything for you, and if it appears not to, it\'s because god\'s ways are hard do decipher). To those people, the only thing left to be done is to show them that the world opposes with the utmost vehemence their way of thinking. To make it appear what it is : insane.

Every one makes mistakes, the problem is that proposition is not shared by those that need it most. This approach will accomplish the shock it needs to provide : when you lay out the fact that in order to fix schools, we have to defund them, and say this to the supporters, they actually react. Something shocks them. It\'s in fact a shocking proposition. I\'ve discussed with a number of them : if you start by telling to them that you agree with them that fire actually makes things wet in order to prove them it burns, it will be this much harder to bring them back because obviously once you legitimated a point of view that is this far off from reality, it\'s only consolidated. They are actively wanting that we shift the norm. I\'ve seen people start argument on supporter sub by postulating that they agree on stuff that was obviously bonkers in order to try to reason : the problem is that now you shifted the problem to the details of the bonkers claim, and the bonkers claim is the new "basis of discussion". >When, in the history of mankind, has a group of humans responded well to being told that they are wrong and that they need to be quiet? This is a fallacy : everything that exists in history is not a repetition of what did happen. If that were the case, nothing would ever take place but the same event again and again. But yeah, as an anecdote, an interesting event is when nazi soldiers were shown images of the concentration camps. >This isn\'t about who is right and who is wrong. It\'s about healing the divisions that have led to this type of extremism - not perpetuating them. It is, sadly. And that\'s the problem. It used to be harder to tell, by far. You are falling for the classic "middle ground" fallacy : the truth has to be in the middle. Here is the problem : if opinions are placed on a segment and the far right is removed from reality, there is a good chance that the middle ground you seek is in fact in crazy territory. That means that accepting to "settle" is in fact accepting to conduct a crazy policy on the sole merit that it\'s slightly less crazy that the original policy. The problem is that several factors, among which politics being a sport, and ideological purity tests have made the healing impossible, as reasoning with someone that doesn\'t listen to rational argument is a pure waste of time. At this point, for some, only emotional shock might work. >It is very unfortunate that so many people have such a simple grasp of the problems we are currently facing.

She\'s not the "average." She\'s what you get when rich people get to decide how your ballot is structured and counted. Don\'t get me wrong.

She\'s a corporate shill that does what rich people tell her to. I think Jill Stein gets so much hate based on headlines but that no one has watched the videos that generate the headlines. She\'s a doctor making subtle, but important, points, and our modern corporate media isn\'t equipped to handle that. Her supposed "anti vax" position comes from a video where she bemoans the corporate power over the FDA and wishes for better drug safety regulations.

We are at a point where people are entrenching themselves in this cult. To some of them, there are NO possible case where Trump is ever wrong. They are creating a tribe and the rest is de facto, because they created a tribe (a structure of loyalty), excluded from it. There is no tribalism for truth, or logic, or the meaning of words. But there is a cult of one man that is on the same theological level as the Pope (by definition, he can\'t be wrong, and every move he does that appears to be bad is in fact a good move no one can see the effect of yet). This is the level of thinking that goes not surprisingly pretty well with religion (god does everything for you, and if it appears not to, it\'s because god\'s ways are hard do decipher). To those people, the only thing left to be done is to show them that the world opposes with the utmost vehemence their way of thinking. To make it appear what it is : insane. A man that thinks the earth is flat will not be moved by equations that are "sensible" arguments. He will move only by seing it with his very eyes. Those people are by definition not sensible to subtlety, you need something that is a logical shake up to wake them up. /rant', ">>{notachode} : And tell me what this approach will accomplish, other than granting yourself a sense of superiority?

This is what you don\'t understand. I don\'t care about superiority. I\'m not a logical god that exists above others. Every one makes mistakes, the problem is that proposition is not shared by those that need it most. This approach will accomplish the shock it needs to provide : when you lay out the fact that in order to fix schools, we have to defund them, and say this to the supporters, they actually react. Something shocks them. It\'s in fact a shocking proposition. I\'ve discussed with a number of them : if you start by telling to them that you agree with them that fire actually makes things wet in order to prove them it burns, it will be this much harder to bring them back because obviously once you legitimated a point of view that is this far off from reality, it\'s only consolidated. They are actively wanting that we shift the norm. I\'ve seen people start argument on supporter sub by postulating that they agree on stuff that was obviously bonkers in order to try to reason : the problem is that now you shifted the problem to the details of the bonkers claim, and the bonkers claim is the new "basis of discussion". >When, in the history of mankind, has a group of humans responded well to being told that they are wrong and that they need to be quiet? This is a fallacy : everything that exists in history is not a repetition of what did happen. If that were the case, nothing would ever take place but the same event again and again. But yeah, as an anecdote, an interesting event is when nazi soldiers were shown images of the concentration camps. >This isn\'t about who is right and who is wrong. It\'s about healing the divisions that have led to this type of extremism - not perpetuating them. It is, sadly. And that\'s the problem. It used to be harder to tell, by far. You are falling for the classic "middle ground" fallacy : the truth has to be in the middle. Here is the problem : if opinions are placed on a segment and the far right is removed from reality, there is a good chance that the middle ground you seek is in fact in crazy territory. That means that accepting to "settle" is in fact accepting to conduct a crazy policy on the sole merit that it\'s slightly less crazy that the original policy. The problem is that several factors, among which politics being a sport, and ideological purity tests have made the healing impossible, as reasoning with someone that doesn\'t listen to rational argument is a pure waste of time. At this point, for some, only emotional shock might work. >It is very unfortunate that so many people have such a simple grasp of the problems we are currently facing.

Regardless of President Trump wanting a Muslim ban, the executive order he passed isn\'t a Muslim ban** ------------------------- I\'m gonna go ahead and copy-paste an argument from a week ago. ----------------- One thing people need to be made aware of is that: **The executive order has nothing to do with Muslims whatsoever.** Seriously, it doesn\'t. If you want, here is the full script of the executive order. [**EXECUTIVE ORDER: PROTECTING THE NATION FROM FOREIGN TERRORIST ENTRY INTO THE UNITED STATES**](https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2017/01/27/executive-order-protecting-nation-foreign-terrorist-entry-united-states) * The executive order addressed only 7 out of 50 Muslim-majority countries. * None of the 7 countries weren\'t even in the top 5 largest Muslim-majority countries. * It doesn\'t target already-vetted refugees in the USA who\'ve been here for a while. * It doesn\'t target American-born Muslims. * It doesn\'t even say "Muslim(s)" or "Islam" even once ----------------------- A Muslim ban would be extremely reasonable in my opinion. Islam supports terrorism and violence, in every country Muslims spread to, Sharia and violence spread as well. Even if most Muslims aren\'t terrorists, a huge amount of them support terrorism, engage in misogynistic practices, support pedophilia (even their prophet is a pedo), practice honor killings, advocate sharia law, pour acid on their wives and beat them, engage in rape of women who aren\'t covered head-to-toe, etc. Europe has suffered due to the massive amounts of muslim \'refugees\'. Especially Sweden, it has become the rape capital of the world ever since it has let in such a massive amount of refugees. At least Japan did what was wise and shut its borders to refugees ever since they let 27 in, and 2 have gang-raped and robbed a woman. ------------------------------------------------ Another from not too long ago. ------------------------- Even then, former president Barack Obama imposed immigration restrictions 19 times.

See, all of this talk about how there haven't been many crimes from people from those countries, how unlikely it is to be attacked by refugees on U.S. soil, etc. are misleading. That's because we haven't taken in so many refugees! Proportional to the size and population of other countries, we haven't taken in so many. Even then, our vetting process is tougher than many other countries (Even though it could definitely use some fixing and reviewing). If you want to see what the effects of refugees are, look at the refugee crisis all across Europe. Even though a tough vetting system makes it less likely that refugees like the ones in Europe will get through, I still think that we shouldn't let refugees in whatsoever! It's not that I don't want to help **actual** refugees, it's just that we don't need the risk. Even with peaceful refugees, it's not necessary. It costs way less to relocate 'refugees' within their own country, and refugees should be helped in their country, not by being brought to another country. It just doesn't work."]

[**EXECUTIVE ORDER: PROTECTING THE NATION FROM FOREIGN TERRORIST ENTRY INTO THE UNITED STATES**](https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2017/01/27/executive-order-protecting-nation-foreign-terrorist-entry-united-states) * The executive order addressed only 7 out of 50 Muslim-majority countries. * None of the 7 countries weren\'t even in the top 5 largest Muslim-majority countries. * It doesn\'t target already-vetted refugees in the USA who\'ve been here for a while. * It doesn\'t target American-born Muslims. * It doesn\'t even say "Muslim(s)" or "Islam" even once ----------------------- A Muslim ban would be extremely reasonable in my opinion. Islam supports terrorism and violence, in every country Muslims spread to, Sharia and violence spread as well. Even if most Muslims aren\'t terrorists, a huge amount of them support terrorism, engage in misogynistic practices, support pedophilia (even their prophet is a pedo), practice honor killings, advocate sharia law, pour acid on their wives and beat them, engage in rape of women who aren\'t covered head-to-toe, etc. Europe has suffered due to the massive amounts of muslim \'refugees\'. Especially Sweden, it has become the rape capital of the world ever since it has let in such a massive amount of refugees. At least Japan did what was wise and shut its borders to refugees ever since they let 27 in, and 2 have gang-raped and robbed a woman. ------------------------------------------------ Another from not too long ago. ------------------------- Even then, former president Barack Obama imposed immigration restrictions 19 times. Four times on Muslim-majority countries. http://16004-presscdn-0-50.pagely.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/obama-3-575x75.jpg http://16004-presscdn-0-50.pagely.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/obama-2-575x562.jpg http://16004-presscdn-0-50.pagely.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/obama-1-575x539.jpg', '>>{prey4mojo} : You have really only been on reddit for 11 days? Or is this a dummy/troll throw away account? If not, how do you feel about white christian conservative terrorists like the one who recently murdered 6 in Canada?

My previous Reddit account was compromised by hackers. > If not, how do you feel about white christian conservative terrorists like the one who recently murdered 6 in Canada? Christian terrorism certainly sometimes happens. Most of the time it isn't in the name of Christianity, but, it isn't a threat; although the attack in Canada was an unfortunate event and should not have happened. > And how should we best go about keeping them out of our country? Terrorism in the name of Christianity is rare, and isn't big enough to be an issue. Muslim terrorism, however, is.", '>>{prey4mojo} : Sorry to hear about your account. But certainly murder in general is a bigger issue than terrorism. I read somewhere that it is 1/3 of one percent of deaths. It seems irrational to ban travel for large swaths of people for the sake of such a small threat. Do you think the threat of islamic terrorism on US soil has been exaggerated for political reasons?', ">>{KEK555} : > But certainly murder in general is a bigger issue than terrorism Yes, it is; but unlike radical Islamic terrorism, general 'murder' doesn't have a specific root. > I read somewhere that it is 1/3 of one percent of deaths. It seems irrational to ban travel for large swaths of people for the sake of such a small threat. Do you think the threat of islamic terrorism on US soil has been exaggerated for political reasons? See, all of this talk about how there haven't been many crimes from people from those countries, how unlikely it is to be attacked by refugees on U.S. soil, etc. are misleading. That's because we haven't taken in so many refugees! Proportional to the size and population of other countries, we haven't taken in so many. Even then, our vetting process is tougher than many other countries (Even though it could definitely use some fixing and reviewing). If you want to see what the effects of refugees are, look at the refugee crisis all across Europe. Even though a tough vetting system makes it less likely that refugees like the ones in Europe will get through, I still think that we shouldn't let refugees in whatsoever! It's not that I don't want to help **actual** refugees, it's just that we don't need the risk. Even with peaceful refugees, it's not necessary. It costs way less to relocate 'refugees' within their own country, and refugees should be helped in their country, not by being brought to another country. It just doesn't work."]]

They're using Wacom tech", ">>{rboymtj} : That's why I started with the Note series in the first place.

I haven't heard a good explanation about the mechanics of the problem.", ">>{rboymtj} : The last thing I want Samsung to do is rush to release anything. That being said, they should make their regular S8 line with varients and still make a Note for the target demographic (used to be business people.) Doesn't have to be flashy, doesn't need an edge.

The S2 is much higher quality than the 10.1, has a much better processor, and more storage. I would imagine the S3 blows it out of the water.

Bill Clinton said it best: "I believe that in ways large and small, peaceful and sometimes violent, that the biggest threat to the future of our children and grandchildren is the poison of identity politics that preaches that our differences are far more important than our common humanity." What happened to that perspective? Why must ending inequality somehow include pushing people apart instead of bringing us together, as Americans?

From everything I have seen the Democrats are trying to make people actually have equal rights, while the GOP is arguing that it is just identity politics. There is no clearer example than gay marriage and gay rights. The right is trying to keep a whole group of people from having equal rights, dividing them from others. At the same time they are claiming that gay people pushing to have equal rights is actually discrimination against conservatives and Christianity. No one thinks the actual statement "All Lives Matter" is racist, the problem is that many racists started pushing it just to attack Black Lives Matter. It is kind of like the term "America First." Most don\'t really have a problem with the sentiment, but if you look at the history of the phrase it was used as a xenophobic slogan against Jews.', '>>{Overly_Triggered} : And because due to things like the Southern Strategy, they tied their social conservative values to issues about the economy and personal liberties.

I couldn\'t choose between my white or hispanic side or my family. I loved all of them. What Democrats want is to divide people up into categories of people that they can pander to. Wanting true civil rights is not the same as wanting to tell people they are oppressed to extract votes.

To Republicans that are pro-gay marriage, his former statements in support of gays (most of which also happen to be from a time period when he wanted to enact the biggest tax hike in history exclusively on the "super wealthy", was pro-choice and wanted universal healthcare) signal that he will protect gay rights, in spite of all his actions to the contrary in the current election.

Race relations are at an all time low. In the late 90\'s/early 2000\'s, they were much better and it was because there was no emphasis on all of this "oppression" nonsense. Things were getting better organically. That\'s like saying things were better for trans people in the 90s because there was no emphasis on all of this "bathroom" nonsense. Just because certain people aren\'t talking about a problem doesn\'t mean it doesn\'t exist. For decades black and brown people have been abused and murdered by the police, including during your golden age of the late 90s/early 2000s. For decades black and brown people have been systemically discriminated against in matters of housing, education, the criminal justice system, healthcare, employment, etc. It has not gotten appreciably better organically for a large amount of people, and these people are suffering as a result. Let\'s look at just one aspect of employment, for example. Look at this article on a Princeton study on hiring bias in New York City: [https://www.princeton.edu/main/news/archive/S11/23/70K64/index.xml?section=newsreleases](https://www.princeton.edu/main/news/archive/S11/23/70K64/index.xml?section=newsreleases). It found, among other things that "Even without criminal records, however, black applicants had low rates of positive responses, about the same as the response rate for white applicants with criminal records. Hispanics also faced discrimination by employers, but were preferred relative to blacks." Do you not see a problem with that? Of course many individuals, like your uncle, succeed despite the odds all the time, and I\'m not saying that anyone should sit around and feel sorry for themselves. But to deny that there is a serious race problem in America is to deny reality.', '>>{chris41336} : I would argue that 90% of the discrimination you are citing against brown people, of which I am one, is financial rather than racial. Most "brown" people do not have the financial means that white people due, and that is primarily due to the fact that white people have been in the system longer. I saw it in my own family. My white side did have privilige, but it wasn\'t because of some conspiracy to keep brown people down. It was because over three generations of being in this country they had established a financial support infrastructure to have a parachute for each other. Investments and all that. The minority side of my family didn\'t and doesn\'t have that. They got here, had no credit, no investments from older folks, nothing. They had to forge ahead like my Irish relatives did generations ago, just now instead of years ago. As for murdered by police, see this study from Harvard published a week or so ago. Shootings have not been measurable more for blacks than whites (though overall violence seems to be): http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/12/upshot/surprising-new-evidence-shows-bias-in-police-use-of-force-but-not-in-shootings.html?_r=0 The exception to the above is African Americans who, because of two centuries of actual legislative discrimination, really DIDN\'T have a means to succeed in much of this country. That is unique to Hispanics arriving now. I have seen with my own eyes how hard it is to escape from even one generation of poverty, I can only imagine it compounds after several. That being said, my point about the "golden age" i listed above is that people were coming together racially. The "old racism" was almost dead (as in people who felt that way had to hide it, and fewer and fewer people felt that way), and vestiges of institutional racism would slowly die with it. Now, "old racism" (with people claiming racial superiority) is on an upswing, and it is frightening and unhelpful to anything. EDIT: For your Trans example, I would argue that nobody caring about what bathroom Trans people use is preferable to suddenly everybody caring, yes. But I sense that is the crux of our issue here. My view of progress is nobody caring, yours is everyone caring, and we will never resolve that difference. I only have one Trans friend, but they claim it was far easier back before any attention was put on all of this nonsense because of Charlotte deciding to make some misguided stand which lead to North Caroline doing the opposite and angering everyone. EDIT 2: Also, you say my uncle was an exception, and I agree. But success in the United States has ALWAYS been an exception, even among white people, since the beginning of this country.

From everything I have seen the Democrats are trying to make people actually have equal rights, while the GOP is arguing that it is just identity politics. There is no clearer example than gay marriage and gay rights. The right is trying to keep a whole group of people from having equal rights, dividing them from others. At the same time they are claiming that gay people pushing to have equal rights is actually discrimination against conservatives and Christianity. No one thinks the actual statement "All Lives Matter" is racist, the problem is that many racists started pushing it just to attack Black Lives Matter. It is kind of like the term "America First."

I couldn\'t choose between my white or hispanic side or my family. I loved all of them. What Democrats want is to divide people up into categories of people that they can pander to. Wanting true civil rights is not the same as wanting to tell people they are oppressed to extract votes.

To Republicans that are anti-gay marriage, his selection of Pence and his list of Supreme Court pics signals that he will be a hard line religious conservative and will take rights away from gays. To Republicans that are pro-gay marriage, his former statements in support of gays (most of which also happen to be from a time period when he wanted to enact the biggest tax hike in history exclusively on the "super wealthy", was pro-choice and wanted universal healthcare) signal that he will protect gay rights, in spite of all his actions to the contrary in the current election.

Race relations are at an all time low. In the late 90\'s/early 2000\'s, they were much better and it was because there was no emphasis on all of this "oppression" nonsense. Things were getting better organically. That\'s like saying things were better for trans people in the 90s because there was no emphasis on all of this "bathroom" nonsense. Just because certain people aren\'t talking about a problem doesn\'t mean it doesn\'t exist. For decades black and brown people have been abused and murdered by the police, including during your golden age of the late 90s/early 2000s. For decades black and brown people have been systemically discriminated against in matters of housing, education, the criminal justice system, healthcare, employment, etc. It has not gotten appreciably better organically for a large amount of people, and these people are suffering as a result. Let\'s look at just one aspect of employment, for example. Look at this article on a Princeton study on hiring bias in New York City: [https://www.princeton.edu/main/news/archive/S11/23/70K64/index.xml?section=newsreleases](https://www.princeton.edu/main/news/archive/S11/23/70K64/index.xml?section=newsreleases). It found, among other things that "Even without criminal records, however, black applicants had low rates of positive responses, about the same as the response rate for white applicants with criminal records. Hispanics also faced discrimination by employers, but were preferred relative to blacks." Do you not see a problem with that? Of course many individuals, like your uncle, succeed despite the odds all the time, and I\'m not saying that anyone should sit around and feel sorry for themselves. But to deny that there is a serious race problem in America is to deny reality.', '>>{chris41336} : I would argue that 90% of the discrimination you are citing against brown people, of which I am one, is financial rather than racial. Most "brown" people do not have the financial means that white people due, and that is primarily due to the fact that white people have been in the system longer. I saw it in my own family. My white side did have privilige, but it wasn\'t because of some conspiracy to keep brown people down. It was because over three generations of being in this country they had established a financial support infrastructure to have a parachute for each other. Investments and all that. The minority side of my family didn\'t and doesn\'t have that. They got here, had no credit, no investments from older folks, nothing. They had to forge ahead like my Irish relatives did generations ago, just now instead of years ago. As for murdered by police, see this study from Harvard published a week or so ago. Shootings have not been measurable more for blacks than whites (though overall violence seems to be): http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/12/upshot/surprising-new-evidence-shows-bias-in-police-use-of-force-but-not-in-shootings.html?_r=0 The exception to the above is African Americans who, because of two centuries of actual legislative discrimination, really DIDN\'T have a means to succeed in much of this country. That is unique to Hispanics arriving now. I have seen with my own eyes how hard it is to escape from even one generation of poverty, I can only imagine it compounds after several. That being said, my point about the "golden age" i listed above is that people were coming together racially. The "old racism" was almost dead (as in people who felt that way had to hide it, and fewer and fewer people felt that way), and vestiges of institutional racism would slowly die with it. Now, "old racism" (with people claiming racial superiority) is on an upswing, and it is frightening and unhelpful to anything. EDIT: For your Trans example, I would argue that nobody caring about what bathroom Trans people use is preferable to suddenly everybody caring, yes. But I sense that is the crux of our issue here. My view of progress is nobody caring, yours is everyone caring, and we will never resolve that difference. I only have one Trans friend, but they claim it was far easier back before any attention was put on all of this nonsense because of Charlotte deciding to make some misguided stand which lead to North Caroline doing the opposite and angering everyone. EDIT 2: Also, you say my uncle was an exception, and I agree. But success in the United States has ALWAYS been an exception, even among white people, since the beginning of this country.

(wikipedia)', '>>{pizzashill} : >> the middle of the 1700s, as the gap between rich and poor widened, as violence and the threat of violence increased, the problem of control became more serious. What if these different despised groups-the Indians, the slaves, the poor whites-should combine? Even before diere were so many blacks, in the seventeenth century, there was, as Abbot Smith puts it, "a lively fear that servants would join with Negroes or Indians to overcome the small number of masters." >> There was little chance that whites and Indians would combine in North America as they were doing in South and Central America, where the shortage of women, and the use of Indians on the plantations, led to daily contact. Only in Georgia and South Carolina, where white women were scarce, was there some sexual mixing of white men and Indian women. In general, the Indian had been pushed out of sight, out of touch. One fact disturbed: whites would run off to join Indian tribes, or would be captured in battle and brought up among the Indians, and when this happened the whites, given a chance to leave, chose to stay in the Indian culture, Indians, having the choice, almost never decided to join the whites. Hector St. Jean Crevecoeur, the Frenchman who lived in America for almost twenty years, told, in Letters from an American Farmer, how children captured during the Seven Years\' War and found by their parents, grown up and living with Indians, would refuse to leave their new families. >> "There must be in their social bond," he said, "something singularly captivating, and far superior to anything to be boasted among us; for thousands of Europeans are Indians, and we have no examples of even one of those Aborigines having from choice become Europeans." >> But this affected few people. In general, the Indian was kept at a distance. And the colonial officialdom had found a way of alleviating the danger: by monopolizing the good land on the eastern seaboard, they forced landless whites to move westward to the frontier, there to encounter the Indians and to be a buffer for the seaboard rich against Indian troubles, white becoming more dependent on the government for protection. Bacon\'s Rebellion was instructive: to conciliate a diminishing Indian population at the expense of infuriating a coalition of white frontiersmen was very risky. Better to make war on the Indian, gain the support of the white, divert possible class conflict by turning poor whites against Indians for the security of the elite. >> Might blacks and Indians combine against the white enemy? In the northern colonies (except on Cape Cod, Martha\'s Vineyard, and Rhode Island, where there was close contact and sexual mixing), there was not much opportunity for Africans and Indians to meet in large numbers. New York had the largest slave population in the North, and there was some contact between blacks and Indians, as in 1712 when Africans and Indians joined in an insurrection. But this was quickly suppressed. In the Carolinas, however, whites were outnumbered by black slaves and nearby Indian tribes; in the 1750s, 25,000 whites faced 40,000 black slaves, with 60,000 Creek, Cherokee, Choctaw, and Chickasaw Indians in the area. Gary Nash writes: "Indian uprisings that punctuated the colonial period and a succession of slave uprisings and insurrectionary plots that were nipped in the bud kept South Carolinians sickeningly aware that only through the greatest vigilance and through policies designed to keep their enemies divided could they hope to remain in control of the situation." >> Edmund Morgan, on the basis of his careful study of slavery in Virginia, sees racism not as "natural" to black-white difference, but something coming out of class scorn, a realistic device for control. "If freemen with disappointed hopes should make common cause with slaves of desperate hope, the results might be worse than anything Bacon had done. The answer to the problem, obvious if unspoken and only gradually recognized, was racism, to separate dangerous free whites from dangerous black slaves by a screen of racial contempt." >> There was still another control which became handy as the colonies grew, and which had crucial consequences for the continued rule of the elite throughout American history. Along with the very rich and the very poor, there developed a white middle class of small planters, independent farmers, city artisans, who, given small rewards for joining forces with merchants and planters, would be a solid buffer against black slaves, frontier Indians, and very poor whites. The growing cities generated more skilled workers, and the governments cultivated the support of white mechanics by protecting them from the competition of both slaves and free Negroes. >> As early as 1686, the council in New York ordered that "noe Negro or Slave be suffered to work on the bridge as a Porter about any goods either imported or Exported from or into this City." In the southern towns too, white craftsmen and traders were protected from Negro competition. In 1764 the South Carolina legislature prohibited Charleston masters from employing Negroes or other slaves as mechanics or in handicraft trades. Middle-class Americans might be invited to join a new elite by attacks against the corruption of the established rich. The New Yorker Cadwallader Golden, in his Address to the Freeholders in 1747, attacked the wealthy as tax dodgers unconcerned with the welfare of others (although he himself was wealthy) and spoke for the honesty and dependability of "the midling rank of mankind" in whom citizens could best trust "our liberty & Property." >> This was to become a critically important rhetorical device for the rule of the few, who would speak to the many of "our" liberty, "our" property, "our" country.', ">>{OverWorkedCorpse} : Thats pretty obvious.

Let\'s say Tom is a Bernie volunteer in Bellevue, WA, and wants to attend the Democratic National Convention. Unfortunately, as luck would have it, Tom ends up running against Congressman Adam Smith in his campaign for DNC delegate. He can whip votes however he likes -- Tom\'s gonna lose. How do you solve this problem? You make Congressman Smith an automatic delegate who doesn\'t have to be elected to the convention -- meaning he\'s not "...running against grassroots activists," who now have a fairer shot at getting elected. I am NOT saying the unpledged delegate system is fair or democratic. But her quote has been consistently twisted WAY out of context. We\'ve got years of actual shitty leadership to blame her for. I think it\'s best to just stick to that. EDIT: Wanted to add one thing: If we\'re gonna give DWS shit for this quote, let\'s give her shit for conflating automatic delegates with unpledged delegates -- that\'s where the real bullshit spin is here. She\'s right that it\'s desirable to avoid elected officials taking convention spots from activists, but she managed to fairly deftly sidestep the fact that there are ways of making them automatic delegates without simultaneously freeing them of any obligation to follow the will of said activists.', '>>{tokyoburns} : Dude, I have an Xbox and a cell phone that has Candy Crush and sports highlights.

Just because cost of living is more expensive in some areas than others doesn\'t mean that the equation isn\'t valid. Take upstate New York, for example. The cost of living may be higher than in Somalia, but with that comes better quality of life. In higher income areas, you pay to play. The cost of living is just an indication of how wealthy the populous is and how much is costs to maintain a standard of living. A teacher in New York may pay more for her house than a teacher in Somalia, but where would you rather live? In New York, you\'ll get a good salary, handsome benefits, a nice place to live, etc. You can\'t say the same for Somalia.

Well, election results don't agree with you on that point. There were a few Bernie-approved progressive candidates for congress in 2016. *All* of them lost. And many of them, like Russ Feingold, did even worse than Hillary. In fact, nearly 100% of those corporate sellout establishment Democrats were reelected, even in a tough year like 2016. In addition, Bill Clinton hardly ran as an ideological progressive. And he was quite friendly to Wall Street.

Let\'s say Tom is a Bernie volunteer in Bellevue, WA, and wants to attend the Democratic National Convention. Unfortunately, as luck would have it, Tom ends up running against Congressman Adam Smith in his campaign for DNC delegate. He can whip votes however he likes -- Tom\'s gonna lose. How do you solve this problem? You make Congressman Smith an automatic delegate who doesn\'t have to be elected to the convention -- meaning he\'s not "...running against grassroots activists," who now have a fairer shot at getting elected. I am NOT saying the unpledged delegate system is fair or democratic. But her quote has been consistently twisted WAY out of context. We\'ve got years of actual shitty leadership to blame her for. I think it\'s best to just stick to that. EDIT: Wanted to add one thing: If we\'re gonna give DWS shit for this quote, let\'s give her shit for conflating automatic delegates with unpledged delegates -- that\'s where the real bullshit spin is here.

What if these different despised groups-the Indians, the slaves, the poor whites-should combine? Even before diere were so many blacks, in the seventeenth century, there was, as Abbot Smith puts it, "a lively fear that servants would join with Negroes or Indians to overcome the small number of masters." >> There was little chance that whites and Indians would combine in North America as they were doing in South and Central America, where the shortage of women, and the use of Indians on the plantations, led to daily contact. Only in Georgia and South Carolina, where white women were scarce, was there some sexual mixing of white men and Indian women. In general, the Indian had been pushed out of sight, out of touch. One fact disturbed: whites would run off to join Indian tribes, or would be captured in battle and brought up among the Indians, and when this happened the whites, given a chance to leave, chose to stay in the Indian culture, Indians, having the choice, almost never decided to join the whites. Hector St. Jean Crevecoeur, the Frenchman who lived in America for almost twenty years, told, in Letters from an American Farmer, how children captured during the Seven Years\' War and found by their parents, grown up and living with Indians, would refuse to leave their new families. >> "There must be in their social bond," he said, "something singularly captivating, and far superior to anything to be boasted among us; for thousands of Europeans are Indians, and we have no examples of even one of those Aborigines having from choice become Europeans." >> But this affected few people. In general, the Indian was kept at a distance. And the colonial officialdom had found a way of alleviating the danger: by monopolizing the good land on the eastern seaboard, they forced landless whites to move westward to the frontier, there to encounter the Indians and to be a buffer for the seaboard rich against Indian troubles, white becoming more dependent on the government for protection. Bacon\'s Rebellion was instructive: to conciliate a diminishing Indian population at the expense of infuriating a coalition of white frontiersmen was very risky. Better to make war on the Indian, gain the support of the white, divert possible class conflict by turning poor whites against Indians for the security of the elite. >> Might blacks and Indians combine against the white enemy? In the northern colonies (except on Cape Cod, Martha\'s Vineyard, and Rhode Island, where there was close contact and sexual mixing), there was not much opportunity for Africans and Indians to meet in large numbers. New York had the largest slave population in the North, and there was some contact between blacks and Indians, as in 1712 when Africans and Indians joined in an insurrection. But this was quickly suppressed. In the Carolinas, however, whites were outnumbered by black slaves and nearby Indian tribes; in the 1750s, 25,000 whites faced 40,000 black slaves, with 60,000 Creek, Cherokee, Choctaw, and Chickasaw Indians in the area. Gary Nash writes: "Indian uprisings that punctuated the colonial period and a succession of slave uprisings and insurrectionary plots that were nipped in the bud kept South Carolinians sickeningly aware that only through the greatest vigilance and through policies designed to keep their enemies divided could they hope to remain in control of the situation." >> Edmund Morgan, on the basis of his careful study of slavery in Virginia, sees racism not as "natural" to black-white difference, but something coming out of class scorn, a realistic device for control. "If freemen with disappointed hopes should make common cause with slaves of desperate hope, the results might be worse than anything Bacon had done. The answer to the problem, obvious if unspoken and only gradually recognized, was racism, to separate dangerous free whites from dangerous black slaves by a screen of racial contempt." >> There was still another control which became handy as the colonies grew, and which had crucial consequences for the continued rule of the elite throughout American history. Along with the very rich and the very poor, there developed a white middle class of small planters, independent farmers, city artisans, who, given small rewards for joining forces with merchants and planters, would be a solid buffer against black slaves, frontier Indians, and very poor whites. The growing cities generated more skilled workers, and the governments cultivated the support of white mechanics by protecting them from the competition of both slaves and free Negroes. >> As early as 1686, the council in New York ordered that "noe Negro or Slave be suffered to work on the bridge as a Porter about any goods either imported or Exported from or into this City." In the southern towns too, white craftsmen and traders were protected from Negro competition. In 1764 the South Carolina legislature prohibited Charleston masters from employing Negroes or other slaves as mechanics or in handicraft trades. Middle-class Americans might be invited to join a new elite by attacks against the corruption of the established rich. The New Yorker Cadwallader Golden, in his Address to the Freeholders in 1747, attacked the wealthy as tax dodgers unconcerned with the welfare of others (although he himself was wealthy) and spoke for the honesty and dependability of "the midling rank of mankind" in whom citizens could best trust "our liberty & Property." >> This was to become a critically important rhetorical device for the rule of the few, who would speak to the many of "our" liberty, "our" property, "our" country.', ">>{bostonscollege} : I wasn't dismissing the original article; it's just food for thought.

Inequality is higher between countries instead of within countries.', '>>{mannabhai} : But this is exactly how they got to that number of 8 people being equally wealthy to 3 billion', '>>{veryfry} : >Inequality is higher between countries instead of within countries. Not really. If you compare the bottom and the very top in a single country the difference is usually higher than if comparing the median wealth in a poor and rich country. (Because the richest are so absurdly rich)', ">>{imbobbathefett} : That's funny, they tried using that tactic in an intelligence squared debate and they lost the event.

Take the richest 8 men and redistribute their wealth equally among all humans?

But it would make the envious much happier.', '>>{deck_hand} : One should not equate wealth with hard work. The world has never worked that way, and will never work that way.

Facebook is a digital drug. Or at least it has been proved to be addictive, and it\'s arguably also bad for you as it gathers and sells your personal information and behavior. I use Windows because I\'m a gamer and I don\'t have much of a choice. I only use facebook to stay up to date on family/friends\' events (nobody sends normal invitations any more, leaving facebook would mean being a social pariah at this point). Point is, I don\'t want to use these services. But I hardly have a choice. There are many like me. This puts a big asterisk next to "earned".', '>>{felesroo} : I think the greater problem lies in not who has the money, but the mechanisms by which they became so rich. Lack of taxation, from income to investments, to inheritance, has allowed wealth to explode at the top disproportional to everyone else. Instead of the game getting harder to play, it gets easier. They\'ve "out leveled" the design of capitalism. Their wealth has so much economic gravity that it draws in more and more. It\'s not the individuals that have caused this, though certainly some have contributed through political pressure to get shitty laws passed, but it\'s the lawmakers themselves that cowtow to these interests instead of passing legislation that would level the playing field more. There will always be rich. What society needs to do is strike a balance. It should be very easy to make $1 and almost impossible to make $1 billion. The game should get harder as level increases, not easier. Any game like that breaks. So does society, eventually.', ">>{testa12} : What's this got to do with politics or is this subreddit just going to subvert to flagrant socialist propaganda now rather than at least pretending to hide it?", '>>{tokyoburns} : Dude, I have an Xbox and a cell phone that has Candy Crush and sports highlights. What more could I want?', '>>{everymananisland} : The problem here is that those arguing about inequality being "obscene" have yet to demonstrate that it is, in fact, a problem, never mind a more important one.', ">>{bostonscollege} : No one is arguing against that. Again, the link that I shared is just to give the situation some more perspective. Statistically speaking, I would assume every one of us here is closer to the global top 1% than the bottom 50%. I shared the article so people might be appreciative of their place in the world. The reason was not to write off billionaire's wealth as a non-issue (I said that in the first sentence).", '>>{bostonscollege} : Of course 30k per year and 10k per hour are huge differences--and it\'s sad. The numbers you mentioned put the spotlight on the top 1%, while the ones I mentioned expand it to many more Americans. I\'m just guessing here, but if you have a solid job you\'re probably making more than $1000 every pay period. There are 4-5 countries in Africa (depending on which study you look at) that have per capita GDP\'s of less than $1000, with some nations as low as $600. That\'s a country average for an entire year! You see how well off we are now? The thought I was trying to convey was not that wealth of the super rich wasn\'t a big deal. The first thing that I said in my comment was that it was disheartening. I also said people were right to scrutinize the mega rich. So I\'m not playing for the other side in this debate, I\'m just expanding the conversation. In essence, I\'m providing an even bigger perspective on wealth inequality because I\'m sharing the data that many people neglect. My goal was to make people feel grateful, and to think, "wow, I really am more fortunate than I thought I was." If at any point you thought that, then I see my comment as a success.', '>>{TrumpCardStrategy} : You absolutely have a choice, you are judt abdicating your responsibility in making it to live with your video game addiction.', ">>{ThrustyMcStab} : Yes, between keep using fb or never know when somethings happening. Between using windows or significantly neutering my hobby. That's more blackmail than choice.", '>>{TrumpCardStrategy} : Actually the most recent study out indicates that a "goldilocks" sweet spot exists where too little and too much use are linked with bad outcomes, but moderate use can improve them.', '>>{Sephran} : What a stupid number. If you compare even the richest person in the world, to all the people who make under 10$ a MONTH, of course the number and percentage will be high.', ">>{TrumpCardStrategy} : That's like saying nature blackmails you in eating, sheltering, and clothing yourself.", '>>{everymananisland} : Can you be more specific? Because recent history seems to be showing that greater wealth inequality is not resulting in more stratification, but instead is happening during a time where many are rising out of poverty.', '>>{bostonscollege} : I understand what cost of living is, but I\'m not sure what you\'re trying to say. If you\'re looking at the "property holdings" part of the wealth equation, then you do have a point. However, keep in mind that someone who lives in a New York City apartment had to have the money to buy the expensive apartment in the first place. Just because cost of living is more expensive in some areas than others doesn\'t mean that the equation isn\'t valid. Take upstate New York, for example. The cost of living may be higher than in Somalia, but with that comes better quality of life. In higher income areas, you pay to play. The cost of living is just an indication of how wealthy the populous is and how much is costs to maintain a standard of living. A teacher in New York may pay more for her house than a teacher in Somalia, but where would you rather live? In New York, you\'ll get a good salary, handsome benefits, a nice place to live, etc. You can\'t say the same for Somalia. You raised a decent point, but you can\'t just look at cost of living as an equalizer and then nullifier in the discussion.', ">>{everymananisland} : I have researched the subject. The idea that wealth inequality is a major problem doesn't seem to hold up. Do you have contrary evidence?", ">>{yobsmezn} : [This article](http://www.forbes.com/sites/dalearcher/2013/09/04/could-americas-wealth-gap-lead-to-a-revolt/#7c4cc14da33f) is rich in useful links. It's a few years old and the problem has gotten worse since then, but the data and conclusions hold up.", ">>{everymananisland} : How do they hold up? Again, we're seeing fewer and fewer people in poverty. Wealth inequality is not negatively impacting society. That the wealthy have more is not why the lowest end has less, because wealth is not finite. This article is big on platitudes but actually kind of low on data, and the conclusions come with a lot of assumptions. What, specifically, are you talking about?", ">>{yobsmezn} : You could not have read the article and investigated the links in under 90 seconds, which was the interval before your reply, so I have to assume you're just messing with me.", ">>{everymananisland} : If you think this is the first time I've seen an article originally posted in 2013... So can you answer my questions, or are you going to continue avoiding them?", '>>{KamalaKHAAAAAAAAAN} : ROFL dumbest fuckin argument ever. "People use heroin, therefore making it good to them." Truly an idiotic argument that assumes all people act to their own benefit.', '>>{KamalaKHAAAAAAAAAN} : Let\'s see how far down the "I was never taught logical skills" rabbit-hole goes... Cigarette Smokers too? They like smoking?', ">>{KamalaKHAAAAAAAAAN} : Oh for fuck's sake... Go learn what a cost-benefit analysis is.", ">>{yobsmezn} : I have found a common tactic of conservative commenters is to demand other people do their homework for them. I provide a useful resource, you shrug it off. And so on. If I fail to do the work I'm avoiding your questions. It's refined trollery, but it's still trollery.", '>>{everymananisland} : Well, you made the claim. You backed it up using a poor source, so I asked for clarification. Continuing the discussion is not trolling, nor is asking for reasons why you find it compelling given the critique of the data presented. So can you answer the question?', ">>{Acidics} : You seem to be very lost. Humans have the capability of choosing what they do. If they did not like something, they would not do it. It's simple and your lack of understanding is dangerous.", '>>{KamalaKHAAAAAAAAAN} : Answer my question. Do cigarette smokers *like* smoking?', ">>{KamalaKHAAAAAAAAAN} : He's arguing *on relativity* when the study is just about simple overall worth. Without his introducing that relativist context, COL wouldn't matter here because it doesn't apply to the study.

Yesterday Tillerson sent the first salvo across the DMZ by stating that diplomacy was no longer an option. What you are witnessing now are the black smoke plumes of the war machine's exhaust manifold. As always, the first casualty is the free press. Because we are technically still at war with North Korea the president doesn't need the approval from congress to attack and there is minimal risk to Americans so we aren't likely to protest. However, doing so puts Japan and South Korea under eminent danger of a nuclear strike, and just the thought that our president is willing to risk that in order to shift focus away from his domestic failures should anger everyone.

While a US court may have affirmed that media outlets have a right of equal access within the territories of the USA, that ruling has absolutely no validity outside the nation\'s boundaries - which is where both Tillerson *and* the media pool were at the time. I challenge you to show exactly how media outlets have been extended an equivalent right of equal access to visiting dignitaries by the sovereign government of South Korea. After all, so long as they remain within its territory, the members of the press only have those rights and privileges that their host nation extends to them, and have no legal recourse to the putative "rights" they might have had Stateside. Edit: lot of American hegemonists in this thread, who mistakenly think the First Amendment flows like water onto the soil of foreign nations. Well, it just ain\'t so.

Rather than taking the press corps with him on his trip, as is customary, Tillerson has allowed only a single reporter, Erin McPike, from the center-right publication Independent Journal Review. >Recently, the State Department broke a a six-week hiatus in press briefings, an unusual drought for an agency which traditionally fields questions from reporters on a daily basis. I think it's time we stopped joking about this administration and get serious. We are technically in an ongoing war with North Korea, but currently have managed a fifty year cease fire with them. Yesterday Tillerson sent the first salvo across the DMZ by stating that diplomacy was no longer an option. What you are witnessing now are the black smoke plumes of the war machine's exhaust manifold. As always, the first casualty is the free press. Because we are technically still at war with North Korea the president doesn't need the approval from congress to attack and there is minimal risk to Americans so we aren't likely to protest. However, doing so puts Japan and South Korea under eminent danger of a nuclear strike, and just the thought that our president is willing to risk that in order to shift focus away from his domestic failures should anger everyone.

Your argument boils down to a complaint that the comportment of a US official visiting South Korea was unseemly. While I agree with you on that point, it has nothing to do with the substantive legal issue of right to access. While a US court may have affirmed that media outlets have a right of equal access within the territories of the USA, that ruling has absolutely no validity outside the nation\'s boundaries - which is where both Tillerson *and* the media pool were at the time. I challenge you to show exactly how media outlets have been extended an equivalent right of equal access to visiting dignitaries by the sovereign government of South Korea. After all, so long as they remain within its territory, the members of the press only have those rights and privileges that their host nation extends to them, and have no legal recourse to the putative "rights" they might have had Stateside. Edit: lot of American hegemonists in this thread, who mistakenly think the First Amendment flows like water onto the soil of foreign nations. Well, it just ain\'t so.

While in SK, Tillererson must comport himself according to both US *and* SK law. But I\'m actually arguing the reverse side of that coin: that any supposed "First Amendment right of equal access" that the recent US court decision granted to the media pool disappeared the moment they entered Korean airspace. So while standing on Korean soil, the press pool had no such First Amendment rights. And while Tillerson is beholden to recognize those rights where and when they exist, in the jurisdiction of the sovereign nation of South Korea, those rights have evaporated, *as has the entire First Amendment*. If, for example, Tillerson visited Beijing, and the Chinese government said, "no press except China State Radio allowed to interview him while he\'s here, everybody else must remain 50 metres away at all times", that\'s what would happen.

Why do you think people value Anandtech reviews so much? They do tests like that. Also, I took my phone off the charger at 5 AM for work, listened to music for 2 hours (streamed), and then listened to locally stored music for another hour. Talked on the phone for one hour, got on Reddit, Snapchat and Appy Geek for 45 minutes. Afterwards, listened to music again and had a FaceTime call for 30 minutes. Used my phone for Uber and various other things. Ended the day with 10% by bedtime. Brightness is set to auto, bottom line is, my usage isn't yours and your friends isn't yours.

Fast forward a year and a half, it took a dump, and the SE was my cheapest option for now. I have no issues with the SE aside from the size, but I knew that going into it.

I initially thought the smaller screen would be an issue, but I got used to it right away. The phone is a *lot* snappier; apps work much better (ie Snapchat), and the battery life is just incredible. It's now 4:45pm; I've been on my phone since around 10am, listening to Spotify, watching videos, and Redditing. My battery is at 76%, when on my Galaxy it would be in the low 50s by now. However, I used to also have an iPhone 4S for about two some odd years. Getting used to the SE was easy. It took me back to my 4S days :p", ">>{Isunova} : It's better in some regards, like stability and snappiness. Android still kicks ios's ass in terms of customizability and openness. I'm going to miss having global Facebook messenger chat heads and the file Explorer.", ">>{dkreeg} : I also went from Nexus 5 to SE about two weeks ago.

Sounds like he was just good at draining the battery.', ">>{NewReddit101} : Two major features of my Galaxy S6 that are keeping me from going back to iPhone are the IR blaster (with built-in, easily configurable, universal remote control app) and the physical 'back' button at the bottom of the phone. I constantly have the desire to go back to iOS, but I would so miss these two features!", ">>{burlow44} : Maybe, but it also wouldn't suprise me if you would get around 3 days +/- with the 6s+", '>>{3y3-000} : All the apps I\'ve used have a back button so not sure the use of an actual "back" button...🤔', ">>{NewReddit101} : I said back button at the *bottom* of the phone :) It's great for one-handed operation because it is fast and it prevents me from having to adjust my grip to reach the back button", ">>{linus121} : I have a Nexus 6P and it entirely depends on your usage. But, when the CPU is running identical workloads, I've noticed my SE edges out my 6P. The 810 isn't a very efficient CPU.", ">>{Jinxyface} : I will agree that the 810 isnt the best. Though your SE is also pushing a much smaller resolution. If my 2560X1440 phone can match your SE in terms of battert while I'm pushing a 1440p resolution, that talks more about the 6P", '>>{Starkid1987} : I think mail fetch is disabled in low battery mode. Only comes when you manually request it.', ">>{linus121} : The Note 5 also pushes QHD and is significantly better in identical workloads. The 6P suffers from having a low binned inefficient Note 4 panel. Couple that with the 810 and in comparison to other phablets. The 6P doesn't compare in the battery department.", ">>{Jinxyface} : Yeah, I know the 6P doesn't use a top end panel. No other phone besides Samsungs really do. But my point is, if a 2560x1440p phone using a known inefficient CPU can match the battery life of a 1136x640 phone...that's really only showing how bad the battery life of the iPhone SE is.", ">>{linus121} : Never mind the SE. The 6P's battery life isn't as great. Not to mention, the battery sizes are proportional to their displays so you can make a comparison to the both. Also, there are top end displays not made by Samsung.", ">>{Jinxyface} : I've never found anyone with bad battery life on a 6P. Even on a very heavy usage day I still get like 5.5-6 hours of SoT at 75% brightness. Could it be better? Sure. But when my friend's new Note 5 barely gets 3 hours of SoT...", ">>{linus121} : You and your friend aren't the same people. You guys don't do the same things on your phones. That's why I said 'when doing identical workloads'. It's funny that you mention that which further proves my point of you guys not having the same usage because the Note 5 has a more efficient CPU and display.", '>>{Jinxyface} : Define identical workloads? Because 90% of people use phones to browse Facebook. If you\'re talking about doing identical tests down to measuring identical seconds doing identical tasks, that\'s not really a good measurement either considering "50%" brightness on two phones aren\'t the same brightness. Among other things.', ">>{linus121} : Not everyone uses their phone for Facebook, no one person has identical usage. Some people use their phones a lot, some use them only for a bit. What are you talking about 'among other things'? Tests like those exist. It's when the brightness is raised to a certain threshold, maybe 100 nits and then are benchmarked to see their performance. Why do you think people value Anandtech reviews so much? They do tests like that. Also, I took my phone off the charger at 5 AM for work, listened to music for 2 hours (streamed), and then listened to locally stored music for another hour. Talked on the phone for one hour, got on Reddit, Snapchat and Appy Geek for 45 minutes. Afterwards, listened to music again and had a FaceTime call for 30 minutes. Used my phone for Uber and various other things. Ended the day with 10% by bedtime. Brightness is set to auto, bottom line is, my usage isn't yours and your friends isn't yours. That's exactly what I mean when I say 'identical workloads'. If '90% of people used their phones to browse facebook' was true. We wouldn't have a huge amount of variation to battery life."]]

I appreciate getting a real response. While this is a better response, it\'s still fundamentally rife with assumptions and accusations about me personally which simply are irrelevant, let alone incorrect. So can we stop with slinging accusations about my character or what you think I do or do not know ? It\'s uninteresting. Anyway, I never brought up race and never though of race specifically. I only mentioned Black Lives Matter because that\'s what the title mentioned. All mentions of race in this conversation are from you and your apparent desire to assume racism where there\'s disagreement. Again, can we just stop with that ? Now, down to the real discussion. It is absolutely true that there are crappy cops out there that do terrible things. There are people who have been flat-out victimized by them. But there are also many great cops and first responders who have been victimized by criminals. And there are also times where violence erupts as a reaction to an implied fear of what someone may do when not complying with instruction. And there are people who look at arrests as an opportunity to fight with police. There will always be bad apples. They aren\'t relevant to this discussion. The discussion is about whether it would be appropriate to classify violence against a responder as a hate crime. Mind you, this is in large part sparked by the Black Lives Matter movement because it has had huge sects of it either defending the resistance of arrest or actively calling for violence against police. That is more than just "bad apples", that is an uncomfortably pervasive message within the movement that had lost track of the real issue which is that both police and communities need to work with one another, not oppose one another. This is a common phenomena of extreme leftist movements. It starts with people losing the message in causing a rift within the movement and ends with the movement fighting itself. And, in the meantime, it causes others who don\'t identify with the movement to be defensive and take equally proportional action against it. This type of legislature is that reaction, because first responders have a great deal to fear in the current climate. The idea of hate is simple: you assume things about a group of people you don\'t know and for no reason other than they belong to said group. It is entirely reasonable for one to consider "first responders" as a group who is at risk of hate crimes. So, with that said, there is an entirely reasonable argument to be made about attacks on first responders being hate crimes based both on the current political climate and the fact that they are judged as a group, not as individuals by many. Has nothing to do with race. This is how you have discussions. Like, I understand your position when you make it clear; but I don\'t fully agree with it. But ideas should be discussed, not dismissed, whether you think they are good or bad, smart or stupid. The idea that everyone with a different position is "racist", -- especially when race isn\'t even involved -- merely shuts down conversation rather than encourages intellectual growth. This is a very serious problem we are facing in this country especially at the university level. It\'s every bit as anti-intellectual as the goofballs believing fake news because it suits their ideals.', '>>{Smoy} : Why are black lives matter protesting? There are already laws to protect minorities. See the double standard?', ">>{darwinn_69} : Because the laws aren't evenly applied.

That label should have criteria that are far less broad than what seems to have been proposed.', '>>{radewagon} : But why call the new attacks hate crimes?

I appreciate getting a real response. While this is a better response, it\'s still fundamentally rife with assumptions and accusations about me personally which simply are irrelevant, let alone incorrect. So can we stop with slinging accusations about my character or what you think I do or do not know ? It\'s uninteresting. Anyway, I never brought up race and never though of race specifically. I only mentioned Black Lives Matter because that\'s what the title mentioned. All mentions of race in this conversation are from you and your apparent desire to assume racism where there\'s disagreement. Again, can we just stop with that ? Now, down to the real discussion. It is absolutely true that there are crappy cops out there that do terrible things. There are people who have been flat-out victimized by them. But there are also many great cops and first responders who have been victimized by criminals. And there are also times where violence erupts as a reaction to an implied fear of what someone may do when not complying with instruction. And there are people who look at arrests as an opportunity to fight with police. There will always be bad apples. They aren\'t relevant to this discussion. The discussion is about whether it would be appropriate to classify violence against a responder as a hate crime. Mind you, this is in large part sparked by the Black Lives Matter movement because it has had huge sects of it either defending the resistance of arrest or actively calling for violence against police. That is more than just "bad apples", that is an uncomfortably pervasive message within the movement that had lost track of the real issue which is that both police and communities need to work with one another, not oppose one another. This is a common phenomena of extreme leftist movements. It starts with people losing the message in causing a rift within the movement and ends with the movement fighting itself. And, in the meantime, it causes others who don\'t identify with the movement to be defensive and take equally proportional action against it. This type of legislature is that reaction, because first responders have a great deal to fear in the current climate. The idea of hate is simple: you assume things about a group of people you don\'t know and for no reason other than they belong to said group. It is entirely reasonable for one to consider "first responders" as a group who is at risk of hate crimes. So, with that said, there is an entirely reasonable argument to be made about attacks on first responders being hate crimes based both on the current political climate and the fact that they are judged as a group, not as individuals by many. Has nothing to do with race. This is how you have discussions. Like, I understand your position when you make it clear; but I don\'t fully agree with it. But ideas should be discussed, not dismissed, whether you think they are good or bad, smart or stupid. The idea that everyone with a different position is "racist", -- especially when race isn\'t even involved -- merely shuts down conversation rather than encourages intellectual growth.

This is how "losing" in politics is different from losing in sports : the result isn\'t up to the candidate and doesn\'t reflect their merit. Rather, it expresses the choice of the electorate. If, *ex hypothesi*, they don\'t choose smart people, it says more about them than the people they don\'t choose. People should be judged on their actions.

There were actual tapes found during the Watergate controversy, there was direct media evidence. Dozens of people were indicted, the scale of Watergate was massive.

No one goes to a clinic excited have an abortion. The Pro Choice movement is about just that, Choice. Women simply want to maintain the ability to make decisions about their own bodies.

Now what about abstinence? What about it? Humans at their very core have 3 basic functions; eat, sleep and procreate. Our animal instincts drive these desires and there's not a darn thing we can do about it. Now this isn't to say that teaching abstinence is a bad idea, only that it's not fool proof and Can not be relied upon to do the job as [Texas's Teen pregnancy statistics](http://www.dallasobserver.com/news/heres-how-to-fix-texas-sky-high-teen-pregnancy-rate-7626551) can attest to. Therefore if you want to reduce or even eliminate Abortions you can start by Properly educating children about sex, STD's and the other associated risks of being sexually active. You can follow this up by encouraging the use of condoms and other contraceptives and give women open access to birth control.

Ultra thin/minimalistic, slim/semi protective or a rugged case? I like Peel's cases for the first option, as well as the Ringke Slim in SF Black. Caudabe the Veil and Spigen Air Skin I've heard are decent but never tried them. Apple Leather Cases for the lower end of protection of slim cases, for a slim but more protective case than Apple's leather/silicon I really love the Native Union Clic 360 British Canvas case, looks classy and gets some unique wear over time. Dropped my 6S Plus a few times already with that case from waist height onto concrete once and tile floor twice with no damage to the case or phone(except some white stuff from the concrete that rubbed off and there was only a small scuff left.) Seems nice for everyday usage. They also have a wooden case with the same design as the Clic 360 but it's snap-on so it leaves the buttons uncovered. That one is also available in real marble which looks pretty cool and the whole marble aesthetic seems to be really popular but it's $90 so not really a good option unless you really really want it, it seems too expensive for a case but everyone has different opinions on that type of stuff. EDIT:** Just checked the Native Union site, they're actually running a sale right now and the 7 Plus marble case is $71.99, still quite expensive but a slight discount. http://www.nativeunion.com/clic-marble/ Some of Incipio's cases are decent (Rival, NGP, Octane) but the DualPro are thick and the back piece is a smudge/grease/fingerprint magnet that annoys me incredibly. Spigen's cases are all really nice too for the price. (Neo Hybrid and Rugged Capsule are great.) - Stay away from the Spigen Thin Fit, the Ringke Slim is far nicer. The clear cases always seem to go yellow quickly as well, at least the ones I've had. Caseology makes decent cases but for that price I'd prefer Spigen or a couple more bucks for the Native Union (which runs $19.99 on Amazon, it's $40 on the site normally but they have a sale so it's the same as amazon - the amazon ones are genuine btw) As far as rugged I've only used the LifeProof and Otterbox Defender, they were great as far as protection I would recommend them but I'm just not a big rugged case type.

What were the differences between iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus? Screen size, what was trending? Bigger screens. Nexus 6, Note series, Honor 5, etc etc. And imo the plus did pretty well. And now 5.5 is a mobile standard. If apple really wanted to set a trend they should have jumped on the USB-C train before Nexus and many others did. I honestly would have applauded them, but they missed that train. Its said because in the Audio industry firewire/thunderbolt used be the norm (and for a good reason), but I\'ve noticed that when audio companies make newer edition of hardware you\'ll see USB editions and firewire/thunferbolt (when older edition you\'ll see only firewire or thunderbolt).

In the article, Frances is quoted: >"Most amateur diagnosticians have mislabeled President Trump with the diagnosis of narcissistic personality disorder. I wrote the criteria that define this disorder, and Mr. Trump doesn\'t meet them," Frances wrote in a letter to the New York Times. Frances is presumably referring to the [Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders or DSM](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diagnostic_and_Statistical_Manual_of_Mental_Disorders). There have been 5 revisions since its creation in 1952, and Frances chaired the task force that updated it to DSM-IV in 1994. There were over 100 people who worked on the revision.

Edit: I will also add that this president has caused many of my patients to decompsnsate. One patient in particular lived in Nazi occupied France during WWII. Her father was a spy who was captured and executed by the SS. She has PTSD but had not experienced any symptoms for decades.

I was a block away from the Apple Store tonight so I stopped in to check the regular 7 out again, and it is the perfect size for me but the 2 Apple employees I spoke to (who both own a plus) quickly tried to talk me out of exchanging because of 4 main reasons: screen resolution, battery size, dual cameras and 1 extra gb of ram. So I played with a 7 and honestly didn't see a difference in the screen, nor did I see a difference in the speed. I was told by the one employee that his wife has had the 7 since launch and is very disappointed with the battery coming from a 6+, and that scares me. Yeah, they have a battery case that I would have to invest in for days out of town and traveling but that just adds more bulk/weight.

In low light the second camera doesn't even get involved. Same with extra RAM and battery - for that big ass screen your usage isn't going to drain it but screen time will consume more battery.

While I generally don't disagree with you, I own both a 6s and 6s+. I use both for different carriers in my country. Without any doubt, with general use on both phones, the 6s+'s battery lasts far longer than the 6s'.

I've been asking family, friends and reading on reddit/forums, people with the 7 and average to heavy usage have to juice their phone up by dinner time to make it through the rest of the day, and with my Plus I can last AT LEAST a whole day (7am-midnight) with heavy usage and still have some battery left. So comparing my Ram and its larger gas tank to an identical Ram with a regular gas tank, yes we get the same gas mileage, but I visit the gas station less often. The 7+ has a larger battery and gets longer life than a 7, and that is the only point I am trying to stress for myself and others who are thinking about switching from 7+ to 7.

Otherwise, build quality varies wildly with the model (and the price). My 2013 "Zenbook Infinity", for example, has my favorite touchpad and keyboard of any laptop I\'ve used, bar the Macbook Air, and it has no issues keeping up with high-end 2016 ultrabooks.

I think that Asus made a good decision 2 years ago when they decided to ignore the PC market and start focusing the Macbook market. The dozen Zenbooks iterations since then all targeted the corresponding apple device: the ux305s are cheaper MBA replicas, the ux303s are cheaper MBP replicas, the ux501s are as close to a MBP15 challenge as you could get. But then when Asus does their crazy engineering shit every few years, where is the windows comparison? The ux301la was the first broadwell ultrabook iirc, and it was straight up marketed as a "MBP in a MBA body". Here they are pushing for a MBP in a MacBook body. Another Zenbook getting released at the same time as this shoves 1.5TB, nvidia 940M GPU, i7 6700u, 2K screen, 4 full ports into the "body of a MacBook air".

I was a block away from the Apple Store tonight so I stopped in to check the regular 7 out again, and it is the perfect size for me but the 2 Apple employees I spoke to (who both own a plus) quickly tried to talk me out of exchanging because of 4 main reasons: screen resolution, battery size, dual cameras and 1 extra gb of ram. So I played with a 7 and honestly didn't see a difference in the screen, nor did I see a difference in the speed. I was told by the one employee that his wife has had the 7 since launch and is very disappointed with the battery coming from a 6+, and that scares me. Yeah, they have a battery case that I would have to invest in for days out of town and traveling but that just adds more bulk/weight. So I have a tough decision to make over the next 2 days (Thursday is the last day I'll be able to exchange since I'll be out of town all weekend and was told technically only have 13 days for the exchange since the day I got it counts as day 1). It's not the end of the world with whatever decision I make, I would just love to have a phone that fits in my pocket without discomfort and I can use with 1 hand without fear of dropping it but want a battery that lasts me all day without worry about having to recharge.", ">>{ryangehret} : I couldn't imagine using a phone that large day to day.", ">>{Captain_Midnight} : I had an employer-supplied 5S for a little while. Thing was so light and compact that I had to pat my pocket to double-check that it was on me. And that was after I put a case on it. I can't do without the fingerprint sensor on these new phones, though.", '>>{Mrpornogoregrinder} : You will regret it. I had the same concerns as you and once I changed it, I regretted it. Buy a smaller case, if you are a butter fingers well just try to be more careful. I only use a case when I go out and drink. Stay with the plus.', ">>{breannaward85} : As much I like the big ass screen, the better battery life, I just couldn't really use it. My hands are small as fuck😩. The 6 barley fits one hand. I have to use two. I got a 7 this go around.", ">>{Akwardadam} : I switched from a 6 to a 7+. I picked up my 6 the other day and couldn't even slightly imagine going back to the smaller screen. Try to use a smaller phone for a few minutes before you make your choice", ">>{eighteencircle9} : These are the exact reasons I'm on 7. It's the ease of use I valued more than big battery. Battery is very subjective. The bigger and better, the more you start using your phone and end result is just same. I am not clumsy but at times do drop my phone. So a case or naked. Either way makes 7+ humongous.", '>>{eighteencircle9} : I came to 7 from a 950 XL. I feel the other way after using 7. I think 7+ is huge just like OP. Every time I pick up a big screen phone first thing I notice is weight and poor handling.', ">>{eighteencircle9} : Those 4 reasons aren't really 4. You have bigger battery because at that resolution and that size you NEED big battery. That extra RAM is essential because you have fancy camera for well lit environment. All in all it has a camera that only works well on well lit environment and big screen. Everything else isn't there to benefit you, it's to support other two hardware enhancements.", '>>{Akwardadam} : I suppose I adjusted to the larger screen quickly. However if OP has been using the + it would still be wise to play around with the smaller screen first.', '>>{eighteencircle9} : I mean 50g heavier has to count for something? I know when folks shot down phones for crossing the 150g magic threshold in the past.', ">>{Retosteante} : Time ago I switched from 6+ to 6, and now I have bought a 7 because of the size. It's more confortable, and it's my best choice. IMHO, the Plus versions are for 2 meters men with 100kg with giant pockets, because I couldn't put an iPhone Plus in my jeans; impossible. Sorry for my english, i'm not native. Edit: It isn't a downgrade, it's an upgrade if you feel better with an iPhone 7 than with an iPhone 7 Plus.", ">>{ZKXX} : I went from a 6s Plus to a regular 7. It's just so much easier. The Plus was so beautiful but not practical for me.", '>>{PamZero} : Right but all that is a benefit to me, so they are on my pro/con list for making a decision to switch or not. So the plus is better at low light shots over the regular 7? I thought the main cameras were identical, and the only difference was the optical (2x) zoom lens and ability to do portraits?', ">>{eighteencircle9} : Plus isn't any better in low light than normal. In low light the second camera doesn't even get involved. Same with extra RAM and battery - for that big ass screen your usage isn't going to drain it but screen time will consume more battery. So it's analogous to buying a car with bigger tank so that you can have more fuel but if it's going to use more fuel than another car with smaller tank, eventually you get the same miles out of each.", '>>{fellybacca} : I may be in the minority but after using my 6+ for 2 years, I went with the regular 7. I loved the battery life of the plus but there was far too many cons for me.', ">>{corpski} : From experience, what you said about the batteries isn't accurate. While I generally don't disagree with you, I own both a 6s and 6s+. I use both for different carriers in my country. Without any doubt, with general use on both phones, the 6s+'s battery lasts far longer than the 6s'. It's even come to a point where I charge the 6s every night, while I have to charge the plus during unpredictable and odd hours, between 30-40 hours from the last charge.", ">>{PamZero} : Well, I did opt for the optional 32gal gas tank in my Ram so I do not have to fill up as often especially on long road trips and I love it :) I get that the plus has a larger screen/overall size and because of that they have room for a larger battery to power everything and the battery lasts a lot longer than the regular 7. I've been asking family, friends and reading on reddit/forums, people with the 7 and average to heavy usage have to juice their phone up by dinner time to make it through the rest of the day, and with my Plus I can last AT LEAST a whole day (7am-midnight) with heavy usage and still have some battery left. So comparing my Ram and its larger gas tank to an identical Ram with a regular gas tank, yes we get the same gas mileage, but I visit the gas station less often. The 7+ has a larger battery and gets longer life than a 7, and that is the only point I am trying to stress for myself and others who are thinking about switching from 7+ to 7. I just don't want to plan charging my phone around the activities I am going to be doing (ex: hurry up and get on a charger after work so when I go out I have enough juice) OR I guess I could just get a bulky battery case and be at ease.", '>>{TOO_FUTURE} : Get a smaller case. I got the apple leather one and the phone is vey manageable after upgrading from a 6', '>>{joelala1} : I downgraded and I am happy. Will you be? I can not say. But I am. :)', ">>{apalooza9} : These look like they would be grippy but I dont think they're out yet: https://www.incipio.com/cases/iphone-cases/iphone-7-plus-cases/ngp-advanced-iphone-7-plus-case.html I bought this one, seems to be sufficient enough: http://www.spigen.com/collections/iphone-7-plus/products/iphone-7-plus-case-rugged-armor", ">>{apalooza9} : It's rated to withstand a drop from X inches or feet. All depends on the rating.", ">>{FloppyDiskFish} : If I understood correctly that's mostly for the camera. I'm not sure if it's available systemwide. It should be but I remember reading that it was there primarily because of their camera tricks.", ">>{IdrissElba} : I had the 7+ and felt the exact same way. About three days ago I went into the Apple Store to exchange it for the smaller 7 and I kinda regret it. I only miss the better camera, battery life, and higher resolution. In the end I feel like the comfort I gained made it worthwhile. I've never been a big fan of huge phones. And to be frank, the 7 isn't that small.", ">>{apalooza9} : hahahaha well that would probably do some damage too. Or if you're this idiot who just wants to waste money and watch the world burn: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGGPSV_sUNY", ">>{thorpup} : I understand. It's a hard choice but you would know best since you've enjoyed both sizes. Both phones are awesome. When the 6 came out, I got the 6 Plus, but after a week I returned it for the normal sized one, since I had come from a 5 and it just felt weird. So I've done what you have before. But then after 5 or 6 months I regretted not staying with the +, the upgrade in screen size and battery were exactly what I needed. So when the 6s+ came out I got that, and now have the 7+, and loving it and used to the size. Just wish the Matte Black wasn't so slippery so I can use it without fear of dropping on the subway or in crowded spots. My girlfriend, who has much smaller hands, used my 6s+ until I sold it and while it took her a while to get used to it, she loved it and did not want to go back to the 6. I would've given it to her but I just got a ridiculously good offer yesterday for it.", '>>{thenakedgat} : Haha man it would really suck to get nailed by that thing!', '>>{Kilmonjaro} : The iPhone 7+ also uses the ram to keep more apps open in the background', ">>{MMMREESESCUPS} : I frankly don't see how anybody browsing this subreddit given the choice between the standard and plus model wouldn't just take the plus model it really is a superior device and offers the definitive iPhone experience especially if you're a power user who uses battery, camera, ram (I guess thats mostly it apart from screen size)."], [">>{TheBatmanToMyBruce} : People seem to make this mistake a lot. It's also worth noting that if you've been into subcompacts, ultraportables, netbooks, etc, you're probably used to putting up with some dongles or breakouts or other inconveniences due to the form factor.", ">>{MyPenisIsaWMD} : > Macbook Pros wipe the floor compared to a typical budget friendly Chromebook in terms of... In terms of the package you describe, I prefer my well-spec'd Chromebook, regardless of price. It's simply a faster internet terminal with an awesome screen and very decent everything else for a fraction of the cost. Everything that needs juice, I do on my desktop (couldn't do it on my Macbook anyway). Everything that doesn't require major power is far better served by my Chromebook anyway. The only reason to buy a Macbook for me any longer would be loyalty which I no longer have or a sense of fashion which has departed Apple in general anyway.", '>>{MyPenisIsaWMD} : 2 Comments up I broke it down by markets. I hardly think that I am approaching this from a single perspective.', ">>{ShadowSwipe} : TBH I wouldn't want a windows laptop with 1500 specs because the battery life is probably trash. The one thing I like about my mac is the insane startup and file speeds and the great reliable long battery life. There's a reason people get them and it's not because they're junk, they may not have a lot of kick in terms of power but I did a lot of looking and as a computer guy I still went with a Mac for college because it's ease of use. I already have a badass desktop anyway .", ">>{MyPenisIsaWMD} : >I already explained it twice Followed immediately by > for the fourth bloody time You'll excuse me for not putting too much faith in the explanation of a person who, apparently, cannot count.", '>>{alexbhood} : Were they still using 2 year contracts to subsidize the price of phones back then?', ">>{alexbhood} : I've always found that skinned Android phones don't age well. The G3 didn't run very well a year ago. I don't even want to think about it now. Nexus, HTC, and Motorola phones age very well. Probably because they go light on the skinning.", ">>{Forest_GS} : You can drop the LG G3 to 1080p from it's default 1440p and it is as smooth as those $500+ phones. Battery life is only changed 2% though since the screen is the energy hog on this phone, but for the price and it can do 60Hz somehow, it is still an amazing deal. I just prefer never needing to zoom on my books... (root required, though. I am still amazed resolution options aren't in the LG G3's developers settings) edit- I think some of the custom ROMs are smoother, only problem is the stock camera app has the best picture quality...", '>>{JeffIpsaLoquitor} : I believe so. You got the phone "for a penny." Biggest racket since cassette tapes at Colombia!', '>>{jacobc436} : TBF my other laptop I got for free also from 2008 runs windows 10 like a breeze.', ">>{System0verlord} : And I'd imagine it has more than 2 GB of RAM and is way larger than the MBA.", '>>{System0verlord} : Really? The MBA was critiqued for being underpowered then.', ">>{Fortune_Cat} : So do you think it's even a fair comparison then", '>>{Fortune_Cat} : I used sell computers. Really sad seeing folks getting ripped off', ">>{iamthehtown} : I'm not going to feed into this too much but you guys are really annoying. Some people do not like using Windows. I have used it for years, and prefer OS X. I've had Acer, Asus, HP, Sony, Gateway, Dell.. I've built my own computer as well. I don't play games anymore and I use my MacBook for work. I am very happy with it and I did compare what I wanted to other fanless laptops available. I bought what I wanted. You can lay off the condescending attitude.", ">>{Fortune_Cat} : The people I'm talking about have no idea what they want. They just buy it because it's trendy", ">>{beesandbarbs} : Well you can also build a really small PC and connect it to a good 4k display for far less money. It's only the things that you can't build yourself i.e. laptops where you can't say Dell, Apple etc. are overpriced.", '>>{alexbhood} : Yeah that\'s definitely a contract subsidy. We do the installment plans now and people still come in wanting to know where their "free phone" is. It\'s a real struggle to convince those people they were actually getting ripped off.', ">>{hammerheadtiger} : The performance is pretty good, I had some overheating issues for a few weeks, but that solved itself. There is no graphics card, and as a result, you cannot run games, not even on low graphics, forget Overwatch, Civ V is a struggle. I use it as a portable programming machine and it serves that purpose well, battery life is great and I can leave my house for the day without a charger confidently, the screen is sort of flimsy though and has some small light bleed in random places, I might see if I can get a warranty replacement. The convertible aspect of it is useless as I'm used to iPads that weigh less than a pound, and this thing is more than 3 pounds of odd sharp corners and unwieldy mess.", ">>{wizzardyls} : MacBooks just seem far better built, and more solid.

What I haven't found yet is if there is a way to charge the computer while having it connected to this gpu adapters =/", '>>{alexaday} : Just put a cracked OSX onto your new windows laptop....', '>>{alexaday} : There are literally dozens of "Zenbooks" over the last 4 years, ranging from $400 to $2500. Your comment doesn\'t say anything about a specific "Zenbook" either. It\'s a brand name with the only universal similarity being "pretty and fast". Otherwise, build quality varies wildly with the model (and the price). My 2013 "Zenbook Infinity", for example, has my favorite touchpad and keyboard of any laptop I\'ve used, bar the Macbook Air, and it has no issues keeping up with high-end 2016 ultrabooks. Buy one of the $500 low-end models in the early ux305 series, and you will definitely see some compromises.', '>>{alexaday} : To be fair, where IS the comparable windows ultrabook? I think that Asus made a good decision 2 years ago when they decided to ignore the PC market and start focusing the Macbook market. The dozen Zenbooks iterations since then all targeted the corresponding apple device: the ux305s are cheaper MBA replicas, the ux303s are cheaper MBP replicas, the ux501s are as close to a MBP15 challenge as you could get. But then when Asus does their crazy engineering shit every few years, where is the windows comparison? The ux301la was the first broadwell ultrabook iirc, and it was straight up marketed as a "MBP in a MBA body". Here they are pushing for a MBP in a MacBook body. Another Zenbook getting released at the same time as this shoves 1.5TB, nvidia 940M GPU, i7 6700u, 2K screen, 4 full ports into the "body of a MacBook air". Heck, these come in _Rose Gold_. lol They themselves want to be the Apple of the PC market.', '>>{alexaday} : https://www.asus.com/Notebooks/UX310UQ/ This might serve you better. Basically bumps the form factor from macbook to macbook air, but the specs get a nice buff as a result.', ">>{Fidodo} : I didn't realize the gens first model always dropped the suffix.", ">>{phujeb} : why would you put your laptop in checked luggage?!!
