O'Tierney's Cage
It might be useful to understand why and how O'Tierney felt disconnected.
background for those who learned from egg-brain propaganda:

Show anti-vaxxers how disease affects victims
Any time you run across anti-vaxxers, show them how preventable diseases affected the life of people who did not get vaccinated.
I grew up before vaccination for polio was common, and saw many kids and colleagues who were disabled, ranging from simple limping to having totally non-functional limbs. And those are the lucky ones, who survived the disease. Others died.
Show them examples of that: how Itzhak Perlman walks on stage, because he was disabled by polio when he was a child. Tell them that when he travels he has to get assistance with having his violin and bag carried, because he cannot do so while walking with his crutches.
Go on Google images, and search for "smallpox scars" and show them how their boy or girl will look like if they ever get infected and survive the infection.
If someone makes a video from old footage of all these diseases, it may sway some who are willing to follow the evidence.

They learned their lesson after Iraq
The Bush Administration made very specific claims about Iraq that could be falsified, eventually. With Russiagate, it's a bunch of Gish Gallop bullshit that sees it's True Believers hop back and forth between debunked talking points, like climate changers. Put the high priests of Russiagate on the spot and they quickly lose their shit when pressed. Adam Schitt loses his shit when asked to look into the camera and say, on the record, that Russia was behind the phishing of the Podesta emails.

adblocker collects data
Adblocker collects data about the websites you are visiting. If you use windows everything on that system is tracking you and the second most intrusive piece of software other than Microsoft Windows is your antivirus product they see everything you do on the Internet. Antivirus products leave tracking software behind even after you have deleted that program.
If you go into device manager and then select show hidden devices you will see data drivers collecting data from your ex antivirus product.
It is no different on a Apple Mac system Apple has root.
Most web tracking websites are non-sophisticated they simply use tracking cookies. Amazon is following you everywhere and so is Facebook even if you do not use them. If you are in the U.K. your Internet provider has to collect data about the sites you visit and that data is for the government watchdog.
If you are in the U.S. almost every government department is spying on you with the aid of companies like Google.
I could have probably typed that better but I am tired I have been reading too much misty eyed.
P.S. did you see the "UbuntuMate 18.04 programming team not one of them used a Linux desktop, or even Linux. no wonder the desktop is a mess they themselves do not use it. -

Re:I've said it before, I'll say it again
Error correction is actually done with extra bits stored on the cd (and actually about 5 bits per 16-bit sample, I think) and dithering actually *adds* dynamic range to about 120 dB at frequencies that matter (at the expense of a bit more noise at high frequencies above 10 kHz).

Re:And "progressive" techie heads explode ...
Troll
That's a slur, not an argument. Every time, it's never trying to refute the argument. Every time, it's the same old game of "I discredit the speaker, therefore your entire worldview is invalid!" At no point did you address the Left's war on free speech, nor the fascist tendencies that led to this war in the first place. All you do is try to discredit the speaker - me - instead of address the issues. You neither engaged with nor refuted Google's position that speech should be suppressed if Google doesn't agree with it.
Johnathan Haidt talks about you here, "they're trained carefully basically how to discredit your opponent. They learn to slur, they do not learn to argue."

Re:Common
Star Wars makes money on toy sales. Or at least, it used to. That's how badly The Last Jedi failed. Disney broke Star Wars, and it's an ordinary film franchise now, the days where the merch was a multiple of the ticket sales are over.
People will still go see the sequels - heck, people go see the transformers sequels. But the SW fanbase is turning its back on the movies (or in some prominent cases, abandoning fandom entirely in a public potlach ceremony).

Re:I'm proud to be American
You've created a strawman in an attempt to justify (in your mind at least) being a condescending prick.
It would be as if the original poster had said that he loves his country because they have free water fountains in parks where you can drink the water (or not) for free. While it's certainly true, it's also so common as not to need pointing out since lots of countries have free water fountains in parks. The only reason one would point it out is if one thought it either unique or rare.
He could have just as easily made his post country-agnostic by titling his post "I'm proud to live in my country" [where there exists freedom of speech] -- if that were his intent, but it clearly wasn't since he explicitly mentioned "American."
I'll leave you with this which is what the original post immediately brought to mind.

Re:Brainwashing
Can't believe I forgot the best one, the Don Quixote theme song "Miracle Shopping". The shop is actually called Don Quixote, and the mascot is a penguin... But it's commonly called "donkey" because "don-ki" are the first two syllables in the Japanese transliteration.

Re:Brainwashing
It's far worse in Japan. I don't know how staff there put up with it.
Many shops in Japan have their own theme music. Actually a theme song, with lyrics. The Yodobashi Camera one is a jaunty take on Auld Lang Syne and they actually have a different version for every branch... On repeat, all day, every day.
If you spend too much time in the shop you can't get it out of your head. The staff must be hearing it in their dreams.
Here's a little selection. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Re:I sympathize
A long time ago, I would frequent a store in Collingwood, Melbourne, that sold Amiga hardware. At one point they were demonstrating an audio sampler by playing an eleven second loop of John Farnham's hit song "You're the Voice", starting at https://youtu.be/tbkOZTSvrHs?t... .
Apparently, this loop ran all day. I don't know if any of the store clerks went postal, but I can easily imagine it.

how to access the deeper compressed layers
OMG -- it'll last for BILLIONS and BILLIONS of years! That's wonderful! But will the guys supporting RAR / WinZIP / ARC / ?Q? also be around that long? It'd be awful to have an ARC file but on a Mac with no way to decode it. (They could at least handle a LBR file.) Easy Alien Computer Hacking.
Then again, they'd better watch out after decompression -- the RIAA and MPAA will be after them as well, since the copyright duration extensions will still be active. -

Re:Looking forward...
Their products cause zero obesity. Fuckheads drinking it like water causes obesity. But, we all know libs don't accept personal responsibility for anything...
HEY! I may be fat but I'm NOT a lib -- them's fightin' words! Water is good for ice and mixed drink "rocks", nothing more, I'll have you know. I only drink 2L of *Coke* a day, the stores hate to see me when it's dollar day, the limits they put on are for ME. (I asked one store about their purchase limit, and they mentioned that it wasn't for commercial use. I didn't ask what that was, I just got a 6-pack of 2Ls and went on my merry way. For a few hours.) Still trying to lose weight, but those pizza boxes always get in the way. Buying 30 x 2L within a few days is not uncommon, that gets me thru to the next sale. Of if there's a drought I manage to suffer thru it. (My precious...)
When I was a teenager, I noticed that after exercising for 30+ minutes and drank a coke, I came out even. So I switched to diet drinks and haven't looked back. A friend of mine (Hi Jimmy at Novell) always nagged me that it would turn into formaldehyde; I always rebuffed that I was saving the undertaker time and they should be paying me for it. We agreed to disagree. I'm going to see the doctor Tuesday about other things, I'll ask him. (And he'll say yes and so I'll drown my sorrows with some added cherries in my drink.)
Next thing you know you'll be calling them "sodas." Pshaw, neophytes. I may be fat, but not from Cokes. And NEVER Pepsi, the world's worst drink -- although Tab does give it a run for the money. Coke's just all around better: Try it, you'll like it. -

Re:1.0 Problems
Rei, you seem to have confused my reply with another one. I didn't say anything about the bumper...
The rain issue is a design flaw: https://youtu.be/hCv_Ha0oWjE
Some have speculated that it might be fixable with a better seal that catches the run-off water, but I think it has too much velocity by the time it gets down there.
I did actually have a Model 3 pre-order but cancelled it. Aside from anything else it's too small. Very low, the boot entrance is tiny. Sat in one in the UK, the driving position is not great. Plus the quality issues were very off-putting.
According to the Model 3 Owners Survey
The problem with these kinda of informal survey, especially on an aspirational product like a Tesla, is that they rarely give any kind of accurate reflection of reality. This XKCD is also highly relevant: https://xkcd.com/937/
On the Ars article someone reports that the screen crashed while driving, and the wipers stopped working. Imagine suddenly having no wipers in heavy rain on the motorway. Maybe they work great 99.999% of the time, but like Autopilot occasionally decides to drive at speed into a wall that 0.001% failure is pretty serious.
They're giving the impression that we're talking about recent Model 3s here.
That's Tesla's problem really. If they shipped crap for a year and it clogged up their service centres and pissed off consumers, just saying "oh but we fixed it now, honestly in a year you will find that these cars have had fewer problems" isn't really going to cut it.
To be fair they do seem to be improving, especially on paint and panel fit. But that doesn't really help early adopters or give CR something they can work with.

Re:Well, yes, but
There is a great documentary about how the Nazis built and launched their rockets that was made by the British after the war, as a way to document the whole process so that the knowledge would not be lost.
It's absolutely fascinating. Not only did they manage to build rockets capable of reaching space, but they managed make them simple and robust enough that largely unskilled soldiers could operate them. They developed many of the basic techniques that became fundamental to all future rockets.
Germany was an engineering powerhouse. Such a shame it was wasted on that war, and built on the back of slaves and bigotry.

If I have to
I can do 40 pushups if I'm absolutely required to (I just tried after seeing this article), but I wasn't at all happy about doing them. In fact, I had to quickly drink a pint and a shot to recover. Does anyone know if you have to be able to do 40 pushups cheerfully to be healthy?
However, I can do the plank for 2 minutes without complaining. Especially after a pint and a shot. I actually think the plank is overall a healthier exercise than pushups, unless you're looking to grow big bodybuilder tits.
In case you don't know how to do a plank, here is a YouTube video of a fitness bro demonstrating a plank. If you're interested in learning how to drink a pint and a shot, you can meet me at the pub and I will teach you as long as you're buying.

Re:I thought bookface was supposed to
How about if we just let everyone speak, and let the listeners decide for themselves who to believe?
Because some of them end up abusing their children by denying vaccinations, and we have a duty of care towards those children (even a legal one in some places).
Another example would be children who were groomed by IS online and travelled to Syria.
Censorship isn't the only tool of course, making accurate information available and revealing the source/funding of these messages helps.
