BF2S Forums Presidential Election 2016

They usually do take research that was done in universities or other institutes but apply it for a different purpose / in a different way. A lot of original thought also goes in synthesising discoveries into products.

Regardless, that still to me isn't enough of an argument to make the internet/tech a tribalised field of various products and services with similar or same functions. Both undesireable and probably ineffective as you'll see a gravitation towards the most popular ones anyway. The arguments I've seen so far were mostly if not only construed to retain state dominance over industry; we don't like it if an 'outside player' emerges that can influence society or resist the government.

Being part of the Trump cult seems like fun though doesn't it? Everyone is welcome in the MAGA cult except Asians of course

There's been a lot of noise about personnel shuffles in the defence and intelligence community by Trump. Looking into it, quite a few key posts seem to be filled by loyalists, but I don't think to the extent it would really raise alarm bells. His removal of Esper was 'interesting' though.

Postal worker recants false fraud claims cited by Trump campaign, top Republicans: Dem aide

A Pennsylvania postal worker has recanted claims that supervisors attempted to backdate ballots mailed after the election, according to congressional aides. The false allegations were cited by the Trump campaign and top Republicans as examples of voter fraud impacting the results of the presidential election.

Richard Hopkins, a Postal Service worker from Erie, Pennsylvania, alleged that he overheard supervisors discussing a plan to backdate mail-in ballots for Election Day. His claims were first shared by Project Veritas, a conservative organization that tries to set up sting operations on a variety of groups in attempts to expose perceived bias -- and which has drawn fire for at times its false claims and selective and misleading video editing. The group on Monday said it would offer $25,000 for claims of voter fraud across the country.

lol

even if they find some fraud, it's not '5 million votes'-level fraud. this is embarrassing.

Gotta love the total irony of people flying "no more bullsh*t" flags in support of Trump.

I have no desire to take part in violence. Only the sick and disturbed would desire something like that. I merely want to watch it online.

I am not a voyeur. I served my country in war while you were still in elementary school. Back there, I could fly a gunship. I could drive a tank. I was in charge of $1,000,000 equipment! Back here, I can't even get a veteran's day discount on a PlayStation 5 pre-order.

this was the goat part of the whole election



"there he is, heh. big star. do you guys know who he is??" and then watching lil pump try to talk normal especially without cussing

he's retarded for supporting trump tho. probably did it for clout/attention or he got paid i think

Dilbert how do you feel about the fact that it was children of turkish immigrants who made the bioNTech vaccine with a 90% efficacy?

Before uziq comes in here to speak of my 'hypocrisy' - we've been over this, I decried fascist tendencies and influence in the community, and did not argue for the discrimination of turks or the end of migration.

I do think voting for a fascist strongman is a betrayal of the values you hold dear in the country you live, if you vote labour/left here. It's mind boggling the mental gymnastics you have to engage in to on the one hand disparage the crowd that votes brexit, bojo or trump and on the other shield the poor migrant community from any critique because 'are they not allowed to have national pride?!'. You're the hypocrite here uzique. Either fascism is bad or it isn't. No in betweens, no special exemptions for groups you sympathise with.

And you do have a warped view of modern day Turkey. There's nothing secular or moderating about Erdogan's Turkey.

Finally I'm probably one of the most vocal people on this board when it comes to engaging in/with a respectful democratic society that has room for people of all backgrounds, cultural, religious or otherwise. Migrants from anywhere in the world are welcome, as long as anti-democratic and authoritarian tendencies in all manifestations are left behind.

I am critical of Poland and Hungary? I do oppose Orban and PiS? I do believe the EU should sanction these countries? That should be clear. The fact that it's complicated, does not change that I feel it should be done.

If they're 'misguided and misled' in their voting for a fascist you'll surely agree that the community ought to be severed from the misguided and misleading influence from Ankara.
