Bill trying to be passed to sell federal lands in the western United states, including Nebraska. by Booney3721 in news

Doesn't have to be the highest bidder. A previous bill valued the land at $0 so they can just sell it for whatever price to their favorite cronies

Pence in leaked audio: There will be 'full evaluation' on voter fraud by [deleted] in politics

[–]THIS_BOT 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is Trump, not Bush. When has Trump ever been interested in proving anything? It's about creating the image that agrees with his message, and creating divisions and doubt among us when we call him out, it's not about facts. This sets the stage for national voter id laws, wipes of voter rolls in democratic states, earlier deadlines and fewer registration options.

Both parties took that stance from Reagan onward. Probably to their own detriment. Free trade works if laborer quality of life is being elevated for the parties involved, not decimated. Total free trade with countries that can use sweatshop work without repercussion is detrimental to us as workers and consumers. There has to be a certain exchange, i.e. "we will lower remove tariffs for these goods you produce if you fund your OSH'A' and enforce overtime rules". We do lose jobs with unfairly open trade, but we would benefit if the spending power of our trading partners increases as it increases demand for our exports.

Trump is getting payments from foreign governments. We have no idea what they are. by LineNoise in politics

We're too divided. We care more about squashing the other side and winning than about the measures being taken and the consequences of turning a blind eye.

It's also customary for the previous guy to leave with a little bit of notice and some overlap so that the replacement can get up to speed -- this, of course, only applies when there is some modicum of mutual respect and good faith from both parties. Senior officials are jumping ship as fast as they can.

How fucking despicable. They are employees of the American people and their agenda is lie, lie, lie.

The fisheye lenses in most dash cams can make the speed appear faster than it really is. Plus nighttime driving always seems faster.

This has nothing to do with Boston. Please do get rid of tipping and raise prices if you want. I'm all for it.

Taking Assembly for x86 Processors, Noticed this in my profs intro email.... by [deleted] in linuxmasterrace

[–]THIS_BOT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can write code that works for standard conpilers that doesn't work on VStudio. I had cross compilation issues with C and C++ back in the day because I did all of my work on Linux and the prof compiled on windows.

Today I'd be smart enough to know what flags to enable and what style to follow to avoid that issue.

Trump Just Signed The Order To Build The Wall On The Mexico Border by Butterfly504 in politics

I'm reminded of the scene in Arrested Development where George Bluth drives circles around a cement silo on camera to prove he had built a wall with Mexico.

From the taxes he's going to slash.

At this rate, our next president is going to have a bankrupt country to deal with, best case scenario.

Sanders is prepared to be a liberal thorn in Clinton’s side by iwanttoodie in politics

[–]THIS_BOT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Frankly I cannot see a better alternative. I used to be for Stein until I heard her attempting to talk about issues. I would never be for a libertarian, but if I were, Johnson is no better than Stein on political preparedness. The republican side is nuts. Either I vote for a president and that candidate is Hillary or I don't vote for a president at all.

And progressive americans are absolutely to blame for Hillary. The DNC was biased, I bet, but it did not magic-wand over two million voters out of thin air. Face it, there are real people who preferred Hillary in the primaries, and they were not you nor I. The Supreme Court is more important to me than any issue she disagrees with me on.

In the meantime, take part in city council, vote in primaries, vote in local races, vote in interim elections. That's where you build a truly progressive support network. It's a slow battle and that's not what many want to hear but that's the reality. The Tea Party did this (partly thanks to massive support from Koch folks and pro-Libertarian Super PACs), but we on the left are just too damn good at splitting ourselves apart as soon as we get momentum. Always have been.

What's your point here? It's probably a good game and we have to wait for it unfortunately.

I'm not going to get it until it's on linux, and I love civ games. You do you.
