Comment Re:He just doesn't like Harvard (Score 0) 38

TDS is so tedious and cringe. Trump went to Wharton, an Ivy League university.

You're right that he couldn't be admitted there, with his skin color. This is a violation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Harvard is blatantly nullifying federal law, i.e.neo-confederate ideology. They won't get away with it.

You Democrats decided it had to be this way.

Nobody, and I mean nobody, ever mentioned "trans" since under Obama when gay marriage passed and the Democrats immediately moved the goalposts. Before that, I never heard of "trans". Except in the Rocky Horror Picture Show, in which Dr. Frank N. Furter is a mere cross-dresser, not trans. In fact, the movie is now banned for transphobia because Frank is a terrifying stereotype who kidnaps and "turns" innocent straight white AmeriKKKans, and he's a murderer who eats his victims.

But congratulations: you won! Trans ideology is codified into law, baked into our our institutions and there are entire branches of medical science dedicated to its continuance. Boys in girls' sports is here to stay, because anyone who says otherwise is a transphobe.

You can tell Democrats aren't used to winning because they can't even tell when they've won. Trans is a huge win. Our entire culture is different than when Obama was in office. I watched a video the other day of Obama calling for tariffs on Chinese solar panels because they were unfairly competing with made-in-USA and he was saying it would benefit AmeriKKKan workers. This despite climate change being the most pressing issue our world faces and solar being the solution. All of this to benefit future Trump voters. Another Democrat win, if you think Obama's policies were Democrat.

AmeriKKKan science isn't being killed, it committed suicide. They don't know what a woman is and lied, lied, lied to us about Covid.

From covid.gov: "The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2" publication - which was used repeatedly by public health officials and the media to discredit the lab leak theory - was prompted by Dr. Fauci to push the preferred narrative that COVID-19 originated naturally. The virus possesses a biological characteristic that is not found in nature. Data shows that all COVID-19 cases stem from a single introduction into humans. This runs contrary to previous pandemics where there were multiple spillover events.

By nearly all measures of science, if there was evidence of a natural origin it would have already surfaced. But it hasnâ(TM)t.

American science willingly and deliberately killed itself. Take heart, Europe will be making hay with all these refugees from fascism that will be arriving any day now. Maybe they'll invent nuclear weapons like how Jewish refugees from fascism did when they went the other way across the ocean. What a gift to humanity that was.

While Moustache Man killed six million Jews, Dr. Fauci killed seven million non-Jews. One is regarded as the most evil human to ever have lived, the other received a presidential pardon.

I love how you did not even reply to any of the well-thought-out criticisms of todays' Democrats. You went straight into what he identified as the problem, vicious attacks on men, specifically white men.

If only we couldn't vote - you would turn our society into such a paradise. Just like San Francisco, which has been run by Democrats only for a half century. Once a golden AmeriKKKan city so nice that Gene Roddenberry made it the capital of his United Federation of Planets. Today, its major problems include human feces on the streets and discarded needles from drug addicts. Absolutely NONE, and I mean NONE of this can be laid at the feet of your favorite victims, white men.

You are the problem you are trying to solve.

Comment Re:Manual transmissions and traffic (Score 0) 182

Because everyone knows it's a race to get home and if other cars get in front of you, you lose.

In fact, the best thing to do is to use the gaps between cars to absorb speed differences so as to allow ALL traffic to flow more smoothly.

People who drive like you are why we have bumper-to-bumper traffic during rush hour.

Comment Re:I miss the days when this was what the US did (Score 0) 45

It's called "accelerationism" and everyone on the hard left knows it.

Since the only way to get rid of the racist, fascist USA is through the people's revolution, and happy people don't make a revolution, the quickest and easiest path is to accelerate the decline as much as possible. This was behind the" mostly peaceful" George Floyd riots. Make people angry, angry, angry and get them to start setting things on fire. The CIA(yes, them) literally wrote a manual about how to do this, Mike Benz explains at this link. This is what the "blob" did in the 1980s to El Salvador. A few years ago the same tactics were used here. They still work.

Accelerationism, because you cannot build a just society while the old, rotten society still exists. Only on a clean slate can a new society be built. This is standard leftism and I am astonished that any Leftist is pretending to be unaware of it. The Right needs to be aware of what accelerationism is, too. The hard Right say things like "we will never rid ourselves of Zionist control, only a total reset can save us" instead, but same-same.

Color revolutions use polling to force the elected government out of office. That's why you keep hearing about Trump's numbers and how wildly unpopular he is and what an extremist he is. This is true, if you're in the DC blob. He's putting their entire globalist project at risk all for the sake of 300 million ordinary Americans. It makes sense why they want him gone yesterday. The DC blob isn't the Left, but politics make strange bedfellows.

You know that overly sweet, fake-y taste of artificial banana flavoring? used in children's candies and such? That's what the Gros Michel banana tasted like. That's what they were copying. When the fungus wiped out Big Mike, they switched to the mushy, flavorless Cavendish. Losing the Cavendish is no big deal. They're good for pregnant women but that's about it.

Oppression researchers have discovered that at the root of every single problem we face:from racism to homophobia to transphobia to xenophobia, lies a, white man, making profit. Now they are facing accountability for the first time in history and they're throwing a temper tantrum and voting fascist? And your solution is "maybe the fascists have a few good points. If we because like 10% fascist this would solve everything. " Fucking moron. Go lick those boots. Healthy masculinity doesn't exist. The social science is solid on this.

Comment How else would Windows Hello work? (Score 2) 97

And does M$ think they can mandate what ports manufacturers put on their PC.s
I remember them saying that LapTops had to have a camera.

This article claims that the camera requirement exists to support Windows Hello authentication. How would Microsoft's Windows Hello or Apple's Face ID work without a camera? Or what other means of quickly authenticating the user to the operating system and to the external passkey/password store would you recommend instead?

Comment It'd make low-end laptops more expensive (Score 1) 97

There are no downsides to this.

The only downside I can think of is that low-end Windows laptops could become a lot more expensive to support display and 40 Gbps on all ports. This could drive laptop makers toward an operating system with even more restricted functionality: ChromeOS.

Comment String length API unchanged? Facepalm. (Score 1) 99

unless there is a discovery in calculation of length of a string.

Incidentally, there was such a discovery. 'It's not wrong that "[facepalming man with brown skin emoji]".length = 7' by Henri Sivonen came out in September 2019. It explains the difference among code units, code points, and extended grapheme clusters, the difference among UTF-8, UTF-16, and UTF-32, the difference among JavaScript, Python 3, and Rust length semantics, and the difference among storage, display width, and arbitrary quotas that are roughly fair across languages.
