Exactly, to protect blacks from police, we should arm and train all blacks (over 16, of course) in tactical combat. Only good guy with a gun can stop a racist cop with a gun.
So, what should Bernie fans do? Skip voting? Vote for other candidate they didn't support in the first place? Since Bernie endorsed Hillary, it would make sense to change the stickers even if it is non-partisan move.
Gun manufactures? Perhaps not (although compelling could be made). More appropriate example would be gun sellers. Say, for example, you sell guns in a village and one of the villagers tells you that Joe Smith has been telling everyone he meets that he is going to kill the barber. You go and investigate and surely enough, you overhear him saying that to random people. Later that evening Joe comes to your shop and tries to buy a gun. Do you sell it?
As for Twitter and Facebook, they were informed that radicalization happens on their platform and the question is — is that willful blindness?
I wonder how you feel about privacy laws. That is clear case of censorship and should be stopped. How about libel and fraud? Surely, anyone can communicate anything to anyone in any circumstances, right?
From your own rooftop? Sure. Unless disturbing peace, of course. Your point seems to be “Since Walmart now is the de facto public space, local guards can't toss me out for preaching”.
From what I have heard from interviews with Chinese, censorship is a nuisance. The bit they object to (and is actually harmful) is brutality and corruption of the state and municipalities. These are the things that actually hurt, not some abstract censorship. There can be a good case made for freedom of speech, but FoS usually ends up in instrumental role — it helps to improve living standards, gives dignity, security etc.
Just chanting "Free speech good, censorship bad" is no better than "Four legs good, two legs bad".
Right now we have people dead and following tensions which leads to more radicalization. This already lead to rise of nationalism in Europe and last time it ended with tens of millions dead. So... tell me again how censorship is the worst.
I too am no doctor, but I have spent time under pain killers after surgery and if your case was anything like mine, the original source of pain became less and less intense. Like, if in the first week you would be on pain level 9 without medication, but after 10 weeks pain level would have dropped to level 5, and the required amount of morphine is the same, then you have developed some tolerance.
I had to use morphine for couple of weeks and didn't even notice any withdrawal, but what I have gathered (anecdotally) from other people who were on pain killers, when you are taken off pain medication, you do feel actual pain, but it is usually written off as a/just another pain episode/, after a while it gets better so who cares.
> and our Calvinist morality and repressive drug control regime hates this
Oh please! Problem with all current pain killers is that they are NOT EFFECTIVE for chronic pain. Opioids require ever bigger dosage to get the same effect, and your plan to "monitor their therapies" just mean that if the source of the pain is not dealt with, treatment will not be effective. But sure, blame Calvinists.
My impression is that the features that are in external libraries are more difficult to debug than those that are in the language itself (or standard libraries). So just because boost is more obscure doesn't mean that the same thing in std is.
But why would you hit enter? Since it searches while you type, what other reason is there to hit Enter, unless you are done with it? Edit the line you need and if you need the search box as it was, press ctrl+f again. There is little use of it just hanging there. If you need to see what contains, it is already highlighted in the text, if you need to type something there, you already have lost the focus and will be forced to click in it or press ctrl+f anyway.
Also, if you don't mind having search dialog up all the time, use search and replace one.
I just read the discussion over su reimplementation in systemd, Funny how people insist that old [UNIX] code is not broken and any evidence of contrary are met with denial.
It is easier to spot paid ones because: 1) Often they use copy-paste methods. If you are paid by post count, why not be effective. 2) They work in teams and have recurring patterns (first one says "maybe Putin is bit harsh towards Ukrainians", second says "no, Putin is the best, Ukrainians did bad things", third supplied some illustrative image).
Be careful, you might be on the course to madness.
When it is freezing, and fingers/ears/what-have-you are hurting, you are still probably fine, but after a while hurt no more. For those inexperienced, this feels great, but it is a sign of a frostbite.
Similar with schizophrenia and hallucinations — at first it gets worse, because you see more and more things that your mind just made up. But after a while it gets better, not because hallucinations are going away, but because hallucinations are perceived as reality.
Same with propaganda. You might feel like with time you have become immune to its effects (maybe it is really so), but it might as well be the case that you have started to internalize it. Perhaps you will rationally discard every fact that Russian media gives you, but it won't matter, if you start to believe that all the facts that anyone reports are just as trustworthy. If after all the brainwashing you believe that state of Russia is evil, but so is every other state, mission accomplished. There is no right and wrong, only them and us. And you how full well, on which side you stand (za nashim).
I don not see any reason why to believe it. History is written by victorious. And those, who could write (if they survived). It would be perfectly reasonable to have separate native American history study, given how much time is spent on studying white immigrant history (I am pulling this out of my ass, since I live in Europe). If any particular subfield in history is poorly studied, it makes perfect sense to study that particular field more carefully, nut just "whole history". Having separate "white studies" would make sense in, say, Japan, which is dominated by Japanese and impact of west could be an interesting subject. What would "white history of USA" even look like? No mention of slaves? Native Americans? How would such studies deepen our understanding on what had happened?
There are beauty pageants specifically for Blacks and for Latinos
My guess is that if beauty pageants were systematically won by Latinos, and someone made a separate pageant for whites only, there would be no outcry. For some reason you seem to be blind to any social inequalities.
The main issue with the SJW label (as per definition of Urban Dictionary), is that it requires a lot of information on intent.
A pejorative term for an individual who repeatedly and vehemently engages in arguments on social justice on the Internet [...]
So far so good by UB standarts.
[..]often in a shallow or not well-thought-out way[...]
Judgmental, subjective observation, can be dismissed.
[..]for the purpose of raising their own personal reputation.
This is the key flaw in the definition, that makes it unusable. How do you know the motivation of the 'SJW'? Is there a separate community, where these SJW meet and brag about their achievements?
The examples that follow in the UB have issues as well.
A social justice warrior, or SJW, does not necessarily strongly believe all that they say, or even care about the groups they are fighting on behalf of.
Same problem of having to know the motivation.
They typically repeat points from whoever is the most popular blogger or commenter of the moment
So people reuse argumentation made by others. What else is new?
hoping that they will "get SJ points" and become popular in return.
I have seen this only on slashdot, where there is karma (and karma whoring). Here, JS points are almost currency. Is there any other such community?
They are very sure to adopt stances that are "correct" in their social circle.
More likely that they actually believe their cause and the social circle they live in has the same belief, or they would have left it. Also, slashdot has exactly the same way of thinking. The correct view is that tech sector and open source in particular is meritocracy, that women just don't want to be there and this issue should just be dropped.
Also interesting label is "White knighting", which also is pejorative used to mock those who defend others. On the face of it, defending the abused sounds like a good thing to do, but when you don't like it, call it white knighting, and it suddenly becomes something bad.
The worst thing is that the hate radicalizes, it calls to pick a side and the more the fighting continues, the more emotional investment one has in the picked side. Every singe encounter breeds more frustration, which feeds the hate until the only prospect of any reconciliation is when everyone is tired of the fighting.

It is a word play. In other words, if you do not participate in political process, politics will have sexual intercourse with you.
So long as you don't vote, I don't really mind. But to share my own catchy quote, if you don’t do politics, politics will do you.
Are all your political insights made up entirely from catch quotes?

1) Can you propose a better term to describe the “Russian online trolls”? The term must also be correctly recognized by general public.
2) Since when is trolling “uncovering unpleasant truth”? On the other hand, how else can could describe the goatse guy?
They should have asked to estimate population % of some other minority, to rule out “5%” as a substitute of “dunno, not much”
Indeed http://www.bbc.com/news/magazi...
