Older men are generally already in a position of benefit, locked in a system where they cannot be taken down from their position of power. Reforms are coming at the beginning of the chain (entrance to university, internships and early job opportunities). Young men in families where their father/grandfather were in systems that benefited them - and also nepotism - have the understanding they will need to do very little to succeed. They have not put the effort in because they were told they would not have to compete.

The laptop has two hinges, when the first one has extended fully, the second one bends allowing the edge below the keyboard and the top of the screen to be at the same height, while allowing an extra wide point to help it balance.

Hope that helps

There was a protest in Amsterdam today in support of Israel where a woman was quoted as saying “Palestine has unfortunately won the social media war.”

I’m sure its a great comfort to those who have lost loved ones, their children or their whole family in the space of a week that the west are arguing which war crimes of two religious fringes count.

China talks about going to war the same way a virgin talks about sex

I had a look cause you made me curious… It’s just hippies. “Disassociating from the system will destroy it” “I’m sick of furry porn re-enforcing capitalist ideals” “The only reason you’re not a Marxist is that you didn’t really ‘listen’ when you were in college. Wait is Marxism the bad one?”

I love Ground News as a concept, but I always feel suss using anything which is promoted in sponsorship deal by YouTubers.

I was meaning more in the “trusting Google” sense, how is this different to trusting VeriSign?
