The Dutch government is really pissed at Microsoft for all the data slurping they do. After solutions were offered, the government discovered that mobile apps and Office online are still gathering information, as are some of the features in Win 10 Enterprise.

Meanwhile in the US, we can't get enough of MS. And data slurping.
You can turn off telemetry in Win 10 but it will keep sending certain data. Remember this as you type. Unless you use iOS (I think) or linux.

Female Privilege

The scene in the movie has 5 people pulling a raft from the ocean to the sand.

When I say 5 people, I mean 4 people are doing the pulling, and the lone female is jiggling behind, in a bikini top, laughing vacuously.

Who gets doors opened for them - house/shopping/car ?

When there's physical labor to be done, who is expected to not participate?

When does a man touch or remove his hat?

Who has the better mammalian protuberances?

Who isn't required to register for the draft?

If women truly want equality, they need to give up these things.

*I'm not suggesting this.

Dear lefty

• What is a heat index?
• This is when you're expecting 100 degrees but they aren't content with making you miserable... 'with the humidity, it feels like 107'. It's a conspiracy to cause unrest, funded by the air conditioning lobby.

You think your day was bad?
What about the driver of a van with over $80 million worth of crystal meth, who hit a police car at a police station?

• If I were with her, she wouldn't be alone
• Baby's genitalia amputated after botched operation by nurse who claimed she was a doctor.

Heroes of the Stupid

Someone tweeted: "Life is short, Steal a Walrus." MarineLand Canada sent the police to pay him a visit.

Bishop claims that a child becomes gay because parents had anal sex.

Under a new law, South Dakota will now require all public schools to display the "In God We Trust" motto; the display must be at least 12 inches by 12 inches in size - CBS News.  This will not survive a legal challenge. The religious advocates will not sit quietly until their symbols are everywhere. If anyone disagrees, they use the C card - everybody hates Christians.

The ACLU states plainly that trans people have the right to participate in sports consistent with who they are.

I'm not getting too involved here, but isn't there an ability gap when one gender competes with the opposite gender? Men are traditionally larger and stronger. If they transition, they're still larger and stronger. Put another way, if men tried to join women's sports, I'd be upset too. Technically I wouldn't - I don't do sports, but let's pretend, shall we?

Oregon approved 'mental health days' for school students.

How Armstrong's “giant leap for mankind” helped perpetuate inequality—on Earth and beyond.

Democrat State Representative Says Men Should Be Castrated to End Abortions, Taxed to Store Their Sperm

A gay artist's work was pulled from a North Wales gallery after police were called, and the work branded homophobic.

Two women were kicked off Twitter for 'misgendering'. For calling a trans woman 'he', after she spewed insults at them. This is the Canadian woman who filed a human rights complaint against 19 salon workers for refusing to do a Brazilian on her (male) equipment. While Twitter has every right to run its business this way, think about what happened: they got banished permanently for misgendering someone. Next up: book burning, then lynching.

I practice all the time.
