WeAreTheRomans posted:I would the interested in bringing my laptop through US Customs now anyway, and I think if it was a work trip I would be asked not to bring my work laptop. As a non-US citizen, you don't really have the option of refusing to give up your passwords. Similarly, I'll be cleaning my phone messages and setting up fake social media accounts As a note, it's a good practice to maintain fake social media accounts anyway, given how it makes employers feel better to be able to look you up rather than having a void where they think your profile should be. I have a professional Facebook account that's hooked up to a twitter account so I just have to tweet and it updates both places. You only have to update it like every other week and is a good place to stick acquaintances like colleagues and distant relatives. It's easier than you think since you don't need to read anyone else's poo poo on your dupe and you can mine your updates from your real account for what to post. Repost dumb benign poo poo you've already posted. You could probably even semi-automate it. E: should also note the Facebook apps now make switching accounts very easy when it used to be a pain, so there's no real reason to not have a squeaky clean duplicate Facebook. EE: also to address "why not just use privacy settings on your main one," the point of the dupe is to look clean even if logged into with your own password. Obviously remove your real account from the apps before traveling. Xibanya fucked around with this message at 17:41 on May 28, 2017 |

Paradoxish posted:And the problem is with how you want to define "could vote." The electoral college system itself functions as a form of voter suppression at this point, but even ignoring that you still have issues such as the election being held on a workday, voting places in many locations being inconvenient or busy, voter ID laws, and any number of other problems that might keep someone who is physically able to vote from actually voting. Apathy isn't some nebulous force that exists independent of all other factors, it's just the final straw that gets people to decide that voting isn't worth it. Yup. All of these posters lecturing really should consider shutting the gently caress up.

Thanks to the EC, gerrymandering and voter suppression it's not, though. also the house is like half the size it should be.

And anyone who was able to cast a vote that would prevent Donald Trump from taking office and did not is a mewling piece of poo poo.

It's an extremely frustrating argument because it has the effect of papering over the hundred ways our democracy is just fundamentally broken at this point.

Ol Standard Retard posted:Coincides quite nicely with a whole lot of airlines starting to spin up streaming in flight entertainment and eliminating costly and maintenance intensive built in stuff. This seems like something that would have come up under President Clinton, too. The guts of a modern laptop are a bunch of chemical pouches hooked up to a circuit board. It's apparently very difficult to tell the difference between a bomb and a lithium ion cell on an x-ray. There are people who really want to blow up airplanes full of Americans. It's not at all far fetched to think they realized that they could put bombs in laptops. Trump's administration has been idiotic about handling some of the details, but on the whole this is probably better than the other plausible outcome: ignore it until it becomes an impulsive casus belli for a nuclear-armed manchild.

Can you folks stop making GBS threads on each other for a moment? The lack of votes is an alarming problem, yes, but you have to understand that, as some goon already posted, constantly doing the whole "Lesser of Two Evils" dance gets tiresome. There's a ton of work that needs to be done; and not only in the US, mind you. Also, campaigns take a poo poo-load of time. Do you understand how draining it is to be "On the campaign trail" for over a year? How much is/was Hillary in the red due to her campaign costs? Let's be civil here, dudes.

This is the fundamental problem. Trump winning is just a symptom. A symptom that might kill us all, but still. In a democracy he loses even when you accept how dumb much of the electorate is.
