Oh, so you're mad that they misrepresented themselves, that they were more organized than they appeared? That counts as "false flagging"? You poor thing. Tricking dumb people is cheating. It's just not fair.
Yet somehow that is different than James O'Keefe's conspiracy theorists pretending to be people they weren't.
I think you're mad because of your video demonstrates: Democrats are master manipulators whose main weakness is they like to brag, and Trump supporters are violent rubes who can be provoked into a frothy rage on cue. Your big coup is evidence that you're easily trolled.
You're confused. "False flag" is not the word you're looking for, "agents provocateurs" is.
It's funny that the most damning thing you can say about these political agitators is that they're very good at making Trump supporters drop their tendies and REEEE at the slightest provocation.
Tim Cook is a either a moron who doesn't know what words mean, or he is trying to spin his company's product direction (or lack thereof) in relation to its competitors with gibberish evasion so ridiculous it would make Donald Trump and Baghdad Bob embarrassed.
I love how graphs made by deniers even have a hockey stick.
But they drew a little lip at the end, from which they can project centuries of flat temperature, or perhaps even a decrease!
They should make up their minds. If the warming trend is natural and not at all bad for us, why not draw the graph realistically? What compels them to sugar-coat their own sad "me too" rebuttal?
I wasn't calling you a name, I am asserting you are stupid. The evidence is your belief in a conspiracy. Do you deny the evidence?
Name one thing that Clinton has done *ever* that has benefited the American people?
Well, for one thing, she just trounced Sniffles McPumpkinface, which was better value for our entertainment dollar than all episodes of "The Apprentice" combined.
Why is it that, in the media, everything Trump does is "bad".
Probably because everything he says or does in the public sphere is cringeworthy.
Why don't you go one step further and claim that his own words were placed in his mouth by the liberal media conspiracy. You guys are practically that dumb already.
I got my genome sequenced for a hundred bucks a decade after the Human Genome Project concluded. How long did it take the third world gain cell phones, which are now ubiquitous?
If this technology is ever denied to the poor, it will be the consequence of government meddling at the behest of busybody moralizers and the ultra-rich who manipulate them as useful idiots.
The fact that paranoid, credulous, and superstitious people will avoid genetic therapy is a feature, not a bug.
The only real risk is that their numbers become too large and they become an unsustainable burden on society as the human baseline leaves them far behind. Their own sense of entitlement might very well create the sci-fi dystopia they're currently whining about.
Calling an opponent a sexist or a racist are sure fire ways to ostracize them and shut them up.
It's funny how right wingers say this, in spite of them never actually shutting up, because if they didn't, there'd be no weight to their persecution complex.
It's also funny how that puts them in the same position as the people who shout racism and sexism at the drop of a hat. They both believe it will silence the opposition, but neither actually believes it does, because they're playing their designated role in their identity politics game. (Do not let their political alignment confuse you, the conservative white male is the most identity-focused out of all of them.)
And what is lost in the identity warriors' stupid race to the bottom is the fact that there is still plenty of racism and sexism left in the world. For example, Donald Trump is undeniably both. His statements are not even dog whistles, they're foghorns. And yet his supporters will pretend that pointing that out is lying, and also an attempt at censorship, because, you know, embarrassing a person for their stupidity is censorship.
If you assert that all a man has to do to hang out in women's locker rooms is declare "I think I'm a woman", well, how naive or disingenuous do you have to be to not recognize that thousands of pervs will do exactly that?
That cliched objection sounds more like a fantasy of the person saying it than any scenario based in reality.
Imagine what could be accomplished if conservatives believed that rapists were half as common as the mythical cross-dressing peeping tom.They might actually believe the victim.
Where aliens will be found, computers will be sentient, brains will be uploaded, and Linux will have a year on the desktop, all believed with the fervent faith of a religious nutter...
but the idea that gender identity is an innate function of the brain, which may not always develop to the identity dictated by chromosomes or genitalia, is just too damn mind blowing for them to handle, despite oodles of scientific evidence.
But as someone who owns a Newton, an N-Gage, a Google Glass, and an Apple Watch, I feel it is my duty to buy one of these. My collection won't be complete without it.
She works for a tech startup and is making poor person money.They should at least pay her a livable wage, or do the honorable thing and offshore her job to someone someplace where that salary is not an insult.
The idea that you can say whatever you want, and that no one can stop you; is not the idea behind free speech.
Actually, no, that's pretty much it.
The "no one can stop you part" is particularly relevant to government only because they're the only ones who can shut you up with violence and it sometimes be acceptable.
And before you go all libertarian about it being Twitter's platform, remember whatever argument you make applies to network neutrality as a whole.
Free speech is the same as freedom of conscience. The ideas in your head are yours, no one can force you to have different ideas, and you can share your ideas with whomever you please. That is what free speech means.
Can anyone remember when laws were made by elected officials?
Do you think they just invented a right to record people? Strange how the grandstanding government hater thinks we need the government's permission to do something.
We have the right to record anything we damned well please. We're doing it constantly in our heads; fortunately technology gives us a way to do it that is permanent and non-repudiable.
We only restrict that right with laws in the interests of privacy, trade secrecy, copyright, etc.

How will Apple fanboys spin this one?
Bless your heart.
So the kind of people who take Dork Enlightenment and Roko's Basilisk seriously now want to create an actual Tower of Babel.
Can't we just take it down a notch and worry about something reasonable - like the AI apocalypse or being wiped out by aliens?

I'll say it again, LOUDER for the benefit of the usual internet idiots who can't be bothered to read:
WAKE UP SHEEPLE!

No they don't, the web-based applications are shit and need to finish dying.
Why do you insist that something that sucks should to be made better, when the better solution already exists?
Actually, a rather significant mark of immaturity is trying to pass off dull cynicism as wisdom.
It's amortized over the lifetime of the graduates' lower salaries.

It's worse than I thought.

We already know why, women experience stereotype threat and they're more sensitive to the social stigma society attaches to nerdy pursuits.
It's not a problem for most of us, so we don't care, and we shouldn't have to. Only women can fix themselves.

Wishful thinking is a smart assumption?
You think that is an argument in your favor?

WOPR did this in 1983.
