Yeah, why the hell is OP using SMS?

He got rid of everyone else when he took over, he's still dealing with court cases about how he handled that.

There's no war in the West Bank, that's Gaza. And this is part of a pattern, the US didn't give a shit when Rachel Corrie was murdered, or Shireen Abu Akleh (during "peacetime").

Having worked with designers in an ad agency (although not a designer myself), the male designers didn't ever have a good thing to say about the work of any of the female designers. Consequently, none of them stuck around for long (one of them is a creative director in a big agency now, so presumably she wasn't that bad).

Then again, they were assholes in many other respects as well, and the guys in the next companies I worked for were a lot better.

Yeah, it's not like Minecraft itself is marketed to the hardcore gamer demographic. It's essentially a kids' movie. I suspect it might still suck at that though.

I mean, it would be nice to see a comparison between a Chinese loan and a loan by the IMF. Maybe the sting still has to come because they haven't been doing it for as long, but there's got to be a good reason those countries go with China instead of the IMF.

To me it seems like IMF loans involve privatising revenue generating assets, lowering taxes on the wealthy and austerity on the masses. The biggest criticism of the Chinese way of financing is that if you default on the loan you used to build a port/highway/railway line, they keep that specific asset. And I guess instead of using local labour they use Chinese workers.

There's definitely things to criticise there, but I know which option I'd pick if I needed a port in my country.

Yeah, Russia is funding all sorts of critics of the US government, some of them on the left too. Doesn't necessarily mean they agree with Russia on everything. When RT was still allowed to broadcast in the US, people like Chris Hedges had a show on there.

Honestly, I don't see how this indictment squares with the first amendment, especially after citizens united. If money is speech, what's the difference between some American billionaire funding some guys that say things they agree with, and a foreign government/billionaire doing the same? If they're banning Russian funding, why not ban Al Jazeera, Deutsche Welle, South China Morning Post, the BBC, etc?

Holy crap, I always assumed the runner was pushing her whenever I saw this picture. Is this often posted with a wrong caption or something?

And now job boards are full of ads for 'salesforce developers' that pay ridiculous amounts because nobody really wants to work on salesforce.

Or back in the days where Google Reader was a thing, one request from them could represent millions of readers.

Yep, do we want to have 2 parties where the candidate isn't accountable to viewers, or just the 1?

Putin didn't care about optics in Beslan or at the Dubrovka Theater. He can control what the media knows about this, and even if villages are destroyed he can just blame the Ukrainians.
