    Keep thinking though. What are the chances of
    * your battery being alive
    * knowing your location
    * posting your location to someone who can make a difference
    * being distinguishable from the trolls who will post "I'm under the rubble!"

    Any wifi data is worthless and a distraction. Still don't believe me? OK, As someone who has never responded to an emergency you seem to be an expert, but you're really an armchair quarterback compared to me.

    Think it through, the best a buried person could do is send an email saying they're under rubble. We already know that. Wifi is more of a distraction than anything useful in this situation.

    I'm saying the people will get more rescuing done if checking their email and posting selfies is not an option.

    Honestly, the survivors are probably better off if you leave the wifi off. You're supposed to be digging, not posting selfies.

    Where I live you can buy a $15 portable wifi gadget that connects through a $1 sim card that is bought and loaded anonymously. Are you jelly?

    Ok, let's look at it your way (I'm easy). If attending public school in a predominantly muslim country makes you a muslim, than by that same property, all american muslims in public schools are christians.

    And again, by your (dubious) logic we should let all muslims children in, because, then, they will all instantly be converted to christianity (and btw I don't care) at their first fucking day of school.

    Sounds good. Let them in.

    I can't tell if you think he's a muslim, or if you think he's an infidel, but either way you need to change the channel on your TV every once in a while.

    You both had better candidates and you actually chose the most entertaining ones as opposed to someone you might actually want in office.

    Whoever they picked, Fox News would just make something up and their side would believe it. Fox News viewers still think Obama is a muslim and that he was born in Kenya.

    The red team complains about voter fraud and the blue team complains about voter suppression. They're both rigging the election as far as I'm concerned and that just has to balance itself out. Don't whine about losing before you lose though, I don't know what that's supposed to accomplish.

    The military should *not* be using Tor. Look, unless you're doing some shady dark web stuff, your Tor traffic eventually has to pass through a random exit node which you do not control. It can be controlled by some Russian hacker. Why would you think the military should be ok with that?

    Leslie Jones got called a gorilla and left Twitter. I think she handled that pretty well. Twitter's problem was, should they let this guy keep driving users away from their platform? Believe me, they would have much preferred that Jones stuck around to send the hate back-and-forth for as long as possible.

    Twitter doesn't care about hate, they care about their bottom line, and losing users like Jones hurts their bottom line.

  22. Demanding critics be silenced because they might hurt a movie's prospects at the box office makes about as much sense as authors demanding bad reviews of their books be taken down because it might hurt book sales

    Don't look now but a US major party candidate wants to change libel laws to let people sue their critics. I'll let you guess which one.
