  • You talk about misrepresenting views and then you pull this out your arse:

    92 was bad for beluga Wales

    How about Citizens United? How about Glass Steagall? How about the drug war? How about police reform, healthcare, corporate taxes. I could go on and on.

    I feel like my analysis is pretty apropo considering how you’re not acknowledging the massive blind spot in issues that most of the USA agree on. And fuck off with picking out the worst perspectives picked out from your dissenters.

    You don’t think I can pick out a list of headlines for the democratic party which has an even worse history than the greens! You don’t think you make some concessions to vote for them?

    That’s the thing for me though, you’re so condescending and write off everyone else but those who toe the line for your team. You can’t even approach the conversation with the honest position that there’s good people who can disagree politically with you. Exuding the fart sniffing ego that has turned so many of the working class away from the democrats.


  • Yeah it’s definitely a different kettle of fish when you’re on a hill in traffic and swapping to the handbrake constantly, I think that’s where newbies really struggle.

    I’ve only been driving since 2012 so I wouldn’t call myself a veteran since I know a few delivery drivers and the difference in experience is unreal lol



  • You heard it here folks, if you have any principle and vote green then you’re scum to this person and a sociopath.

    Hope you like gagging on the dick of your corporate lobbied leaders. What a detestable way to interact with and view the rest of the world. I hate the republican party more than most but your brand of condescending neo-liberal piousness comes in close second.

    You literally are shitting on everyone who isn’t already voting for your party in this comment and wonder why the Dems hemorrhage votes.

    How about instead of spitting in the eyes of those more progressive or less informed than yourself you might wanna look at the glass house you’re sitting in.

    Maybe there’s a little more nuance than your beyond idiotic reduction of the situation.

    Edit: Oh yeah and fuck right off with that pathetic, “oh good little house elf will appreciate the meagre left wing policy. Change doesn’t come overnight, I must love the piecemeal changes and accept that this is just how it is.” We’d still have segregation and women wouldn’t vote if history was made of spineless people like you.



  • Yeah I know someone who used to do employment tribunals. She says it’s a ridiculously high standard and most employers are not that dumb. She’d only really take cases where they haven’t paid their wages and the employer was a mess. The amount of pregnant women that would come to her and she just couldn’t help.



  • Yeah sure, fine for the SME sized business and I’ve done it in the past for features like offline web behaviours (wasn’t public facing). But tbh it’s a shitty excuse even at that size and outright inexcusable for Adobe. I wouldn’t get away with this at my current place which has significantly less resources than them. Don’t make excuses for Adobe and it’s a weak excuse at best.


  • As a developer with 7+ years industry experience this is a very weak excuse to not support browsers.

    Differences in features are usually down to bleeding edge stuff and I don’t think your example of sort would apply because the end result is the same.

    I know Adobe are more prone to using newer browser features but there really shouldn’t be anything that’s not simple enough to assure support across all browsers. Especially for a company as big as Adobe. It’s inexcusable. We rarely have to use polyfills now, that was more a problem when I was starting out, mainly due to IE11 still holding out.



  • I think this is somewhat strawmanning what the point of the argument in this specific case is. They’re not appealing to nature being good, that’s not the argument.

    The point is that if you are genetically selecting for specific genes through modification then you are circumventing the typical process for genetic change. There are lots of unintended effects of genetic changes and there are lots of corrective mechanisms built into DNA when genetically modified through selective processes rather than direct gene splicing. Science is always slow to catch up with analysis of an entourage effect where many other small factors may influence results long term.

    I’m not anti GMO and this isn’t my opinion as I think GMO products have amazing potential. I’m just sick of people on my side totally misrepresenting this argument as “hurr durr nature good.” It’s such a smooth brained take.

    I think some reservations can come out of the idea that the natural environment isn’t producing these genetic changes. Just to play devil’s advocate.

    Edit: does nobody fucking know what devil’s advocate means? This isn’t my opinion christ. Also there’s a bit more depth to the argument though that you guys seem to be really obtuse about.
