Kind of hilarious in retrospect that they thought anyone with a brain was a communist.

100% of bureaucrat jobs should be automated away. This would decrease corruption, increase frustration with the idiotic laws the bureaucrats existed for and leave parasites unemployed. That sounds like a win all around.

One wonders whether they wised up and started cryptographically signing all their executables and game assets, having it then not run if the sigs and MD5/SHA512sums do not validate. Certainly with phone-home schemes available via Steam, etc., it is likely they could have a non-local privkey they are verifying against. This would make things very difficult to crack. If people have figured out a way to make complex game binaries have acceptable performance while being comprehensively paranoid about tampering, that'd be one heck of an achievement. Would make modding basically impossible though, so there is that. Fun speculation in any event.

It involves rejecting the Hadiths.

They really want a war.

Oops

Yeah, like that will work, when governments are pretty much the cause of "disappearing" folks 100% of the time.

The FED's balance sheet is cratering while Fischer sez they are "aww outta buwwets." Yahoo and Macy's are set for massive layoffs, but don't worry -- 3:30 Ramp Capital has had a perfect record so far this year.

Posts an expletive filled rant to YouTube. Lulz.

Refilling or spiking the punch bowl? Will be interesting to watch.

The lone colony. I hope they prosper; such inhospitable climate is the ultimate freedom zone.

“People in the rest of Chile are so afraid of thieves that they build walls around their homes,” said Paul Robledo, 40, an electrician from Iquique (pronounced E-key-kay). “Not here in Antarctica. This is one of the safest places in the world.”

The parasites hate discomfort.

Shocked, simply shocked

Figures out we're being crushed by the bureaucrats.

They've never been good on stuff before. I wonder what took them so long, the data has been screaming this for years. It's our corrupt government squatting on all of us causing this.

not rigged at all

Hope it works out for them. When they can get some concrete results, NH might actually be worth considering.

Good, it was stupid like the rest of the sanctions.

A shame. He's been a big patriot.

The Yakuza are a prime example.

"Teaching a man to fish" is a higher calling than charity, as is natural; the corollary to that is that depriving a man of their work through war, murder and regulation is the vilest sort of evil.

Bye Bye prosperity

As always with bailouts, it's really a bailout of rich people that were stupid enough to buy their debt.

I laughed my ass off at this bit:

Taxpayers trust, and expect, that IRS employees, as a whole, will safeguard their most sensitive personal information.

HAHAHAHAH!

However, that is neither here nor there: the ranchers are resisting, and they must be defended, no matter how shortsighted their tactics may be.

One more thing: the Twitterverse is attacking the ranchers on the crazed grounds that America doesn’t have equality of government repression. Yes, you read that right. The protesters in Ferguson were faced with tanks, and military-style repression, so why don’t we see the same response to the Oregon protesters, they stupidly ask.

It’s hard to even confront such arguments: are these people really saying that repression is a “right” that has to be equally distributed? Is it something in the water that has lowered the intelligence of these people to such a degree that they really want the government to come down hard on everyone?
...
The urban left is cheerleading Washington’s war against the cowboys, using every meme from the “anti-terrorist” playbook to target a powerless minority that is bravely fighting against the mightiest military machine on earth. A more revolting spectacle is hard to imagine – but 2016 is young yet, so we’ll just have to see what the new year has in store for us.

Shocking outbreak of sanity.

So much so that it is driving doctors to suicide in droves, much like the US military's "socialist paradise."
