The Silence of the HillBots on Sexual Abuse and Slavery in Failed State Libya

Hey, I get it. Donald Trump is vile scum. And yeah, he may be worse than Al Franken, whose resignation Democrats are lamenting as we speak. Sexism and sexual harassment, assault and abuse is a terrible thing. But here's the kicker. If this is so important, why are Hillary and Obama fans ignoring this story?

Freakin' Franken

He could have preserved the last shred of dignity he had and quietly slinked away.
But no, a long rambling "I was doing good for America" you will miss me bs.
At the very least he could have prodded Roy Moore by saying something like;
"Don't let us democrats appear morally superior, Judge, follow my lead".
Pathetic.

(Hacking can be a lucrative business in more ways than one): Exclusive: Uber paid 20-year-old Florida man to keep data breach secret - sources

So, hackers stealing and playing around with our personal information is so likely that there is now a way for said hackers to actually break into a corporation’s computer system and get rewarded for doing so? All they have to do is fess up to their crime and promise to be a good little hacker from now on and that they’re going to destroy the fruits of all their labor? Does anyone examining the computer make sure that there were no copies made? Or print outs? How can that be done?

Interesting little study published last month looking at the quality of play in toddlers and the number of toys they have available.

With fewer toys, participants had fewer incidences of toy play, longer durations of toy play, and played with toys in a greater variety of ways. This suggests that when provided with fewer toys in the environment, toddlers engage in longer periods of play with a single toy, allowing better focus to explore and play more creatively.

Adults are not significantly different than toddlers when it comes to toys or as we often call them tools. The question is - How are we decreasing our creativity by thinking we need a specific tool or app (software program) for every task.
