  Re:

  I don't think that fixes the statement as I don't think that's a concern to the speaker. It's more like:
  
  "I’m frankly far more concerned about the rights and civil liberties of myself and cohorts than the poor and middle class element who continue to treat us as equals and not as their overlords."

  Shouldn't "Judicial Misapplication" be handled through the court system? The Supreme Court should be the final stop to decide if a lower court misapplied the law.

  "How long can they double it every year?"
  
  I imagine up to around 111,900,000 when they run out of non-whites to add to it.

  Re: Target speech with ads, not censorship?

  if it was "just so easy" to identify them then there would be a problem as the NSA would be doing it with all the massive amounts of data they already collect.

  I don't feel very bad for the families as I suspect many of them have their own financial futures in mind which is why they sued big corporations.

  "Perhaps in January we can have an honest national conversation on monopoly and our future."
  
  So many companies hoping Trump gives them a bailout. Long live corporate welfare on the taxpayers dime.

  I should be the next Yahoo CEO. I'll take 200 million for continuing to drive it into the ground.

• On the post: Game Review Site Says Square Enix Blacklisted Them To Punish Low Review Scores

  

  Jeremy2020 ( profile ), 14 Dec, 2016 @ 07:02am

  As someone who worked in Video Game media...something about this smells fishy. No PR firm would tell them point blank that they're not getting review copies because of a low score.
  
  I suspect there's more to this story. Something like they published the review early or something like that which tends to be more egregious than a just slightly below average score.
  
  It's disappointing that no attempt was made to contact Square Enix either. Although, I don't expect much out of stories written by Tim, this seems like something basic to do.

• On the post: AT&T's Already Making Things Up To Get Its Massive New Merger Approved

  

  Jeremy2020 ( profile ), 31 Oct, 2016 @ 03:22pm

  So $35 which is more expensive than existing streaming services, but is $15 off their price for actual Direct TV...
  
  I'm very confused by this service that seems more expensive (I need an internet connection) is somehow made cheaper by a merger that hasn't happened yet..

• On the post: In Leaked Recording, Austin Police Chief Tears Into Commanders For Fatal Shootings, Use Of Excessive Force

  

  Jeremy2020 ( profile ), 28 Oct, 2016 @ 06:54am

  I live in Austin and can tell you that he is one of the good ones. He's consistently engaged with the public and doesn't try to assign culpability to victims.
  
  If you go just north of the city to Williamson county then you get the exact opposite where they frequently pull people for extremely minor infractions or things that aren't infractions at all. They'll often run "checkpoints" that aren't checkpoints where they put 4-5 cop cars at an intersection and just start pulling people over for all sorts of reasons.
  
  It makes Avevedo's conviction and standing up to do the right thing all the more impressive.

  Are you the same are you were in the 90s? A lot of people say they won't be or do something when they grow up then give up on their ideals. Google is evil now.

  Oh, they'd be rescued for sure. Our tax dollars would be a great new revenue stream for them in addition to what we already pay them. Then they're execs would take nice retirement packages for a soft pillowy landing.

• On the post: Journalists Blaming Facebook For Decline Is Just As Tiresome As When They Blamed Craigslist & Google

  

  Jeremy2020 ( profile ), 23 Sep, 2016 @ 08:58am

  It's a shame it's not true because I'd kinda like to lose "Journalism" as we know it because it's actively harming society.
