Blues Brothers: "We like both kinds of music, country and western."
If our regulators had a lick of sense, they never would have allowed the dinosaurs who ran 20th century landline phone services to morph into 21st century cellphone providers without completely overhauling their horrible systems and practices for the new technology. It's very sad that it took this long to find a Wheeler who'd finally slap these bums around even as much as he has been able to, yet there's still mountains of stuff left to be fixed. Lily Thomas made herself a household hero for her ludicrous send up of this stuff how long ago, yet look at what we're still putting up with, and they're still getting rich off it.
... South Korea's sordid history as an undemocratic, totalitarian, and sometimes genocidal state.
South Korea is a Cold War proxy puppet state of the west and is still in a state of war, and that's after surviving WWII Japanese occupation. That country has suffered through a century of crap landing on it from outside. It's not very surprising that it's since suffered under the rule of a few totalitarian dictatorships, but you've got to admit it's today a vast improvement over what it was when I was growing up. Brian Haig's "Mortal Allies" is an interesting (though fictional) take on the current situation from a modern (2002) point of view.
You spent a lot of time on this delusional comment, didn't you, Paul T?
Perhaps this would simplify it for your understanding of the situation:
"Yes, you can kill that terrorist by hitting him with a drone strike, but if he's standing in a schoolyard at recess time, you're going to cause a lot of collateral damage, as in dead children. Do you still think a drone strike is an appropriate response?"
I didn't have much trouble understanding his comment, but perhaps you might want to avoid War and Peace if you did.
"Aboriginal" would probably be better than "native" but for some reason that wasn't selected or didn't catch on.
Follow caucasians back, and you end up in Europe. Follow (North, Central, and South) American Aboriginals and you end up in Siberia. Follow both of them back, and you end up in Olduvai Gorge. We're all Ethiopian or African. I'm just a paler shade of Negro than regular blacks.
... there's some native blood in my family from back a few generations ago.
There's a good chance that's nothing more than a family legend. There are millions of people who claim an unspecified quantity of Native American ancestry from an unspecified person.
Perhaps because it's true. Here in Canada, we had a lot of caucasians interbreeding with aboriginals (there's lots of Metis here), and we almost all (excepting negros and Chinese?) have Neanderthal genes in us.
"Race" is BS. All it does is enable cultural bias; "us vs. them."
Obviously, body, acidity, oiliness, and depth of roast would enter into a final assessment, but I would totally give "Big Titty Blend" coffee a try.
Wouldn't cup size also be a factor?
Oh sure. And the company could release another line (same product, different packaging) called, "Men Are Oinkers" or "Tiny Penis Heads" which they could market to women.
Some guys' attitudes make me wonder how any men ever get laid. I suppose many women are just gluttons for punishment or masochists, just like many men. Hey, commonality! Yippee! What's good for the goose ...
Native here, I am not offended ... Or is really that I do not qualify because I am not towing the group think line as I am told to?
Yeah, you're sort of what Blacks call an "Uncle Tom". You drank the white guys' koolaid. Chyaa, right. :-P
Any Native that is offended deserves to be offended! Same goes for any OTHER race offended by simple words!
Hell, I'm caucasian, and the "Native" designation offends me! I was born here just like they were. My mom even told me (dirty little family secret :-) there's some native blood in my family from back a few generations ago. I wear that with pride!
I wish we could all just toss this stupid appearance BS. Skin color, bone structure, and gender are so damned irrelevant. What's in a person's head's what matters.
Tecumseh and his people were valued allies when the US and Britain were bashing it out. There was a deal in place giving them a huge territory around the Great Lakes once the battle had been won.
Of course, the US then stabbed them in the back once they'd outlived their usefulness.
How long would a team named the "mighty niggers" be tolerated?
Blacks call each other nigger all the time. "Hey nigger!" It's an inside joke, just like the Pirate Party using the intended insulting "pirate" epithet with pride, throwing it in the face of their accusers.
The problem is that liberals are trying to apply some form of morality, or what I refer to as 'selective morality'.
Yeah, and conservative, bible belt, moral majority types never do anything even remotely similar. How do you Red Team vs. Blue Team types manage to continue this silly game still?!?
It's really going to hit us hard in a couple of decades when people want access to all the newspapers that were killed by the internet and no copies are to be found.
It is quite sick to think that the sort of thing Real Historians (TM) complain about trying to resurrect (eg.) Imperial Rome's history is now being forced upon us again in the 21st century (!) not by civilizational decay and the passage of centuries of time, but simply by copyright maximalism and lawyers!
That's a good question... I'm going to ask the team if there's a way we can do something about that to make it available. That would be kind of cool.
It would be cool. I'm a bit surprised nobody's thought of it before.

the man is a fucking menace to the citizens of the UK and his government needs replacing!
Are you unaware of the recently held election where he was re-elected with a majority (aka carte blanche in parliamentary terms)? He's just getting started (again).
Obviously, democracy is either far too nuanced a process for today's electorates (blame public education or TV?) or else hopelessly rigged in favor of those contesting in them (cf. the US' FEC). I might suggest they try burning down parliament with said contestants inside, but that didn't work out well at all for Guy Faulks when he tried it. Aside, I've often wondered why Brits are even allowed to celebrate Guy Faulks Day, but they're British; says it all.
Just enjoy the show and thank your lucky stars you're not a Brit, or if you are, accept my heart felt sympathy. Sucks to be them.
These weaknesses will not only used by criminals to do harm to people, these weaknesses will also be used by adversaries against government agencies and critical infrastructure
I look forward in breathless anticipation to all the !@#$storm of lawsuits and regulatory failure this policy will cause to be tossed out, beginning as soon as the first backdoor is discovered by the bad guys. The gov't has given these companies a golden "get out of jail card" for any hacks against them leaking PII & etc.
Popcorn time! That it's Perfidious Albion that'll be the showcase example of how to fail their citizenry is just gravy for me. Whoopee! Watch carefully world. We're about to be treated to a master class show on how and why not to let your masters do this sort of !@#$.
Too bad for the British Joe Sixpack, but this is what happens when you elect idiots. Try harder next time. Guy Faulks must be giggling with glee looking on.
Reality is terrorist just like the corporation of Scientology do not target regular folks be they adults or minors. They specifically target mentally challenge individuals, those suffering mental illness, vulnerable people easy to manipulate.
No need to single out Scientology. All religions do this. It's their business model.
BTW, Imperial Rome despised Christians for their atheism, because Christians denied the existence of traditional Roman (and other) deities. Cf. Harry Sidebottom's "Warrior of Rome" series.
Personally, I can only name one target inside the U.S. for nuclear strike that I would consider legitimate...
You do realize not everyone who lives in Hollywood works for the MafiAA, yes? Or, perhaps you're thinking of DC? Lots of innocent civilians live in DC too. Ditto Texas, New York, ...
Nukes are indiscriminate WMDs, not defensive weapons. Even in the Cold War, they were an illegitimate response. You don't wipe out life on the entire planet just because *your* enemy one ups *you*, no matter what nutbars your politicians are.
Outside the U.S.? That's another story altogether which is neither here nor there for this conversation.
Xenophobe. Stop channeling Curtis LeMay. Nuclear power makes sense in reactors to generate electricity, not as a military response option. The sooner we get that plutonium into breeder reactors, the sooner we can solve the energy shortage and climate change (assuming that's a real thing).
Whenever I hear the stock accusation of Millennial entitlement the first thing that comes to mind is "No that's you/your generation!" It has proven accurate.
It is accurate, up to and including when you substitute "boomers" for "millennials." They're both sweeping generalizations, and "sweeping generalizations are *always* wrong." :-)
"Every one of these cases cited resulted in a law enforcement officer finding drugs! They're right to be so suspicious!"
Or, illicit drug use is so ubuiquitous (or easily mfgr'd), you may find illicit drugs on everyone you arrest. Feature! Hell, plant some on them. They're likely hippies/minorities anyway (aka nobody).
Prohibition v. 2. They learned from v. 1: how to implement a police state and blame it on saving the public from "Demon Rum", or whatever else comes up.
It's just how Caesar rules, and has done for millennia. We should be used to it by now.
