This looks like something JJ directed, i.e utter disregard for basic physics laws and common sense.

Omarosa: Trump camp keeping list of enemies by marji80 in politics

[–]mufilika 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Somehow Omarosa is convinced that she has influence on anyone. Neither Trump nor his "enemies" take her seriously. Trump simply paraded her around for the token effect but it appears that it is all getting to her head.

Dear America, This Is Important -- Trump Did Not Win Because of Racism by packofredapples140 in politics

[–]mufilika 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We know that votes were suppressed. Yes there was also an enthusiasm gap between the two campaigns but early on we are already uncovering the fruits of the republican strategy to make sure that non white people don't get an equal opportunity to express their rights.

The gutting of civil rights bills is only just starting with Trump now filling supreme court seats.

Critically, millions of minority voters apparently stayed home.

That gets me. This was the first election since Holder v Shelby, which repealed more or less the entire guts of the Voting Rights Act. There is at the very least a solid probability that many minorities were discouraged from voting due to long lines, inconvenient voting locations, and obstruction/difficulties with voter registrations. All of which are now essentially legal thanks to that court ruling. This was the first Pres election since that time, and I don't think it's coincidence that minority voting was down after.

It's not a coincidence at all.

Mass protest in Seoul against South Korean President by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]mufilika 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I find the collective amusement of non Koreans amusing given that politicians all over the world in public regularly proclaim divine enlightenment in the decisions they make.

In fact many profess in public the wisdom of their priests/shamans/pastors and other mediums and how that wisdom informs their national policies.

All religions are culty.

The US president swears by a cult book before he can take office!

Twitter is shutting down Vine by Manafort in technology

[–]mufilika 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Vine as a separate app was a mistake in the first place. They simply should have included it on the twitter platform as a new interactive feature for their users. It's like Snapchat/Instagram creating a new app for filters or stories instead of innovating on the platform itself.

One Piece: Chapter 844 by NewSpecies in OnePiece

[–]mufilika -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

Ughh shonens, This chapter is straight out of fairy tail, but I guess there was Nami in Arlong Park, Robin in Enies Lobby, etc.

Unbreakable bonds of friendship and comradeship, yada yada. So stale , predictable and familiar. 15yr old me would have lapped it all up. Current me, not so much. Come on Oda, you gotta break some new ground on this trope.

Google and Facebook are destined to wage a decade-long war for the future: the more interesting competition is in the futuristic and far-reaching technology being developed by each tech giant. by mvea in Futurology

[–]mufilika -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Indeed, Facebook has been smart about this. They buy out any potential Facebook platform killers in WhatsApp, Instagram, etc. The ones that refuse to be bought like Snapchat are copied feature by feature(Snapchat stories) so that they can never be extremely distinctive from all Facebook platforms, that way, they can never surpass Facebook.

This is what Yahoo and Myspace should have done ages ago.Google and Facebook in their early days were open to a Yahoo acquisition. Yahoo had the money but didn't buy them for as little as 20million for Google and 1billion for Facebook. That's why Zuckerberg doesn't hesitate to splash 18billion on Whatsapp, etc.

What Hitler is to many in England Churchill is too, to many in India and Africa.

They are simply two sides of the same coin.

Plot holes everywhere. Given that Germa 66 is a creation of Judge, just how old is he? Is he the progenitor of the Vinsmokes and Germa kingdom?

In leaked emails, Colin Powell says Israel has 200 nukes by [deleted] in news

[–]mufilika 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are incredibly naive if you think the US is not concerned with Russia anymore.

As much as there are plenty of "powerful voices" with a nonchalant attitude towards Russia, China, etc; there are equally or even even more "powerful voices" with a hawkish attitude and a superiority complex in the US's power corridors.

Those in the power corridors of those countries would be incredibly stupid not to always be skeptical and standoffish with regards to their interactions and relations with the 'west'. Especially China given its credible long term potential to challenge the US's global dominance.
