Mozilla has now completely screwed up the right-click context menu in Firefox 32. What is going on over there, did someone deliver meth instead of sugar for the tea and coffee?
Anyway, it now unfortunately looks like this.
I tried it in a VM and as expected it is terrible, and slower.
Most liberal causes are just and good. However, the sanctimony often found there is a problem as well as blindness to observable facts.
Liberals believe it is racism when it is observed that when people from a culture with vastly different values and standards for treatment of human beings and women immigrate, said members of that culture shockingly continue to mistreat and abuse women.
In the liberal mind, stating that a large influx of men who believe that women are little better than cattle is going to make life worse for the women there is akin to genocide.
I personally don’t care which side is wrong in a debate. I won’t be a part of it.
Yes, the “Eurabia” of the conservatives is 99% bullshit, but at the same time pretending immigrants have absolutely no effect on anything ever is pure blatherskite. It’s only something someone with an agenda other than knowing the truth could believe.
The simple fact is that if a bunch of people with values averse to yours show up — especially if your society is already pretty damn sexist — bad things are going to happen to women.
Just as we shouldn’t believe that everyone from North Africa, Pakistan and other Muslim countries are demons, we also shouldn’t take the liberal goo goo approach and pretend they are all angels.
That way lies madness — and rape.
If people want to continue living in California long-term, nuclear-powered or less feasibly solar-powered desalinization plants are probably the only answer.
Desalinization uses enormous amounts of energy. I am not sure it can ever be worth it with solar or wind. Fossil fuels aren’t the answer, obviously.
Nuclear it is, then. As for the rest of the desert Southwest, better start building some pipelines I guess.
(The best solution is for people not to live there at all in great numbers, but yeah, humans don’t work like that.)
A recent article in TheAtlantic.com pointed out that hedge funds run by women make three times as much money as hedge funds run by men, and that companies with female CEOs outperform companies with male CEOs by nearly 50%.
To succeed as a woman in business, you have to be two or three times as good as a man holding or aspiring to the same position. It only follows that these women would outperform their male competitors.
