Yinlock posted:The media is going all-in on the horse race narrative and trying to make Trump the underdog Man of The People, this was initiated like a day after he went to Mexico and was boring, then went to Arizona and held a pseudo hitler-rally. Ok, thanks. I vaguely heard somethign about Trump having a feud with Nieto and something about 30 new emails or something, but the last thing I needed in an airport was to pay attention to CNN.

Pastrymancy posted:I have no idea what questions are going unanswered at this point that they need to ask at whatever these people constitute as a press conference. You need to have a press conference so that you can get up and ask idiotic questions about emails, the Clinton Foundation, and Hillary's health on TV. Just nothing but those questions by everyone so they can be on TV asking those questions. That proves that they're not biased and are totally serious journalists asking the same question as the last 3 people and holding Hillary's feet to the fire. Gotta have that spectacle on TV so everyone knows who you are and that you're a big boy/girl. Also the opposition press gets to show the people they're pandering too that they're super big boys/girls by asking leading questions that are just repackaged Trump attacks in a less circuitous manner. Informal gaggles are where they ask actual questions and if they get stupid the candidate can call them out and the other reporters will laugh at them, because there's no spectacle or chance for you to be on TV and wave to your mom while being super serious. Lote posted:I've heard solid middle class people say they didn't want a wage increase because working in fast food shouldn't make $15/hr because that would be getting paid too much for the skills involved. These were people that make $30/hr plus benefits and are most likely in a union. They were also discussing how they wouldn't support it even if it meant they would get raises too. They'll keep saying that until they find out what their raise is going to be. Then they'll talk about how they earned that raise while bitching about how easy kids have it today. Why in my day you made $2.90 and you were happy to have it. No, I don't want to hear about how inflation adjusted that's higher than the current minimum wage or that kids aren't the ones primarily working for minimum wage.

Because he would have less likelihood of actually watching harry potter while driving. This is simple. He was definitely an uninformed customer, because he managed to get guillotined by his own car. Spoiler alert: exploring situations where it didn't work properly literally killed him.

Someone he's had an affair with or something. He claims to have been a womanizer all his life, 50 years or so of adult life. He has 5 children so he's pretty fertile. The odds are astronomical that he doesn't have an illegitimate child or an abortion out there. Or maybe the playboy stuff is all talk...

On the other hand, this is karma for decades of garbage political reporting and an emphasis on not being biased, over being correct. Hopefully if enough conservative jackasses sue the media they'll grow a spine and fight back.

Kind of related, but the Trump squad worked hard to get the news about Dr. Drew being fired from CNN for his comments about Hillary's mental condition onto the front page. As someone who grew up on loveline with Adam Corolla and Dr. Drew, reading about the last decade of his professional and media career in that thread really made me feel like a part of my childhood died.

Eifert Posting posted:Industry standard, dude. There was a lot of hand-wringing in the Supreme Court thread about POM Wonderful LLC v. Coca-Cola Co. that touches on industry standards. To make a long story short, POM is a very predatory company that basically sues anyone who tries to sell Pomegranate juice. Coca-Cola had a product under one of their brands that claimed it was a blend with Pomegranate Juice, with a big Pomegranite on the box art -- but was 0.6% Pomegranite juice. POM sued saying it was deceptive. Coca-Cola said it met all FDA advertising and disclosure requirements, which was accepted as fact. POM said it doesn't matter -- you can meet all the FDA and Industry Standard requirements -- but it can still be considered deceptive. POM won the suit 8-0. One one hand, they're a highly litigious company using the courts to try to bankrupt their competitors and force them into licensing agreements. On the other hand, well, they are right.

automated cars won't produce any actual efficiency gains in commuting until 15+ years after the first really viable, robust autonomous vehicle hits the market at a competetive price point because it's going to take even longer for robot cars to be able to deal with bad human drivers in a way that isn't just slowing down also a large portion of the population is going to avoid robot cars because most likely they will be governed at the speed limit lol

It's hard to tell from your post; but the current model is that you won't own an autonomous car. They'll be owned by companies like Uber and Google (and Ford? They want in) and you'll exclusively be using an app like Uber to interact with them.

Actually a shower is problematic for anything under 100 meters because it's easier for steam to penetrate a gasket than water. Google it or check out the watch thread here. Hell, I'm posting from a phone (Nexus 7) that also greatly exaggerated how waterproof it is.

Like seriously a 30m watch should not break just from having a little hot water around it, unless you insist on having some intentionally archaic design.

"Globalists" means a lot of things to a lot of people. To some, it's simply a codeword for The Jews. For others, it refers to someone who considers Hispanics and Muslims to be people. To yet others, it means someone with a wimpy foreign policy centered around cooperating with other countries. Hell, as we've seen on D&D, there are even some leftists who've been lead to believe that "globalists" means "pro-globalization."
