  • The "manifesto" isn't a manifesto at all. Its basically just a written confession. And reads like a forced one at that. To me, the theory that they used illegal means to catch him and are just planting evidence so they have a case makes way more sense. They probably lost him and had to tap into some NSA data to ID him. He probably wasn't a fucking moron and ditched the gun with the bag central park.

  • In addition to a long stream of journalists waiting for the suspect to appear, members of the public - almost all of them young women - were in court, some of whom told CBS, the BBC's US partner, that they were there to show their support.

    (emphasis mine)

  • The reason for Boeing's recent failures are actually well known: They purchased McDonnel Douglass and became defense contractors.

    When they did that all of the McDonnel Douglass execs they acquired were able climb up the ranks of Boeing because they had political connections to get those DoD contracts. The story is the Boeing corporation acquired McDD but McDD execs acquired Boeing.

    What happened next is Boeing started doing normal DoD contractor practices and outsource as much as possible to cut costs and open new non-union shops. The clusterfuck that is Boeing now is the outcome of that process.

    Obviously you can still call this "c-suite greed" but that would be missing some important details.

  • This is the academic and historical definition of liberalism that I'm using. Your US civics teacher gave you the brain damage to think liberalism is the opposite of conservatism and not just a clever slander of progressives.

  • Different evolutions of the same ideological movement representing the same socioeconomic class. How is this hard to understand? All US presidents have been liberals. Different types of liberals exist but they are still liberals.

  • Ahistorical nonsense. They don't believe in a nobility by birth, but they absolutely believe that some people "are just better than others" and who should rule. Its so foundational to the ideology that its written into the US Constitution. Anyone who believes that capitalism is a meritocracy (ie Liberals) believes there should be a liberal elite.

  • SteamOS is an immutable variant of Arch Linux specifically tailored for handheld hardware. A new user would have a hard time ensuring it boots to an actual desktop instead of Steam. It is not a casual distro.

  • The M4A movement was absolutely incompetent if you compared it to health insurance Super PACs. It was basically a bunch unpaid volunteers, many with their own medical debt, against fully salaried lobby groups paid for with our premiums, our denied claims.
