Their entire business is founded upon defrauding and entrapping "customers" into paying pays. Capping them at 2 TRILLION dollars is not even a fucking punishment, they would be well below that if they even just stopped the sleazy bullshit. The only correct solution is to force them to close down and throw their entire board in jail for life. "Harsh" would be executing the board members after extensive torture, but even that is debatable.
The absence indicates a desire to decieve. It's an absolute minimum bar.
No, you idiot, the absence indicates they exist to change the perception of what lies look like. Nobody is that incompetent at manipulating people who makes it into a position with that much of an audience, they are plants.
And you're talking about a beacon on how not think?
She didn't sell uranium to the Russians via any mechanism. A uraniumoperation was sold. There's no way and no license for that company to ship uranium out of the US and to the Russians.
You really do have the attention span of a gnat, don't you?
Even if I concede the others are shit, Breirbart and Infowars are much, much worse.
Objectively.
When was the last time either of those two published a retraction or correction?
You're basing that on whether or not they publish retractions or corrections? Breitbart and Infowars aren't even meant to convince people of things outside of the extreme fringe, they exist to be a beacon of how not to think. They're on the same exact side as the MSM.
Nothing is cut-and-dry when it comes to corruption, but it's also not very complex since people (you make a prime example) tend to assume they can understand things without putting an ounce of actual thought into them. Just look at the way Hillary sold Uranium to the Russians - if you know anything about it (aside from the talking points on the matter) you know that she "didn't" sell it to the Russians, she OK'd a Canadian company to acquire it, who then turned around and sold it to the Russians inline with the terms of the contract. The average person isn't going to dig that far, let along far enough to see the company she OK'd gave over 100m USD to her at the same time.
Memory-holing is a real thing these days, frankly I'd recommend you stock up on popcorn because it's going to take something big to bury the memo detailing how Hillary contracted a foreign spy to put together a fake dossier to hand to the FBI who knew it was fake but accepted it because it met their bar of plausible deniability who then covered up the source of the information when applying for a wiretap from a FISA court - all followed up by Obama opening data between agencies so once the wiretaps were in place the people he had more direct control over could sift through the data - all in an attempt to rig the election. I know, that was a mouthful, you probably don't believe half of that is true, and you almost certainly don't believe the memo validates any of that - but it does, in the words of the people responsible for it, because they were cocky enough to discuss it all on government owned cellphones. Think that one over a moment. They knew their cellphones were being recorded, they themselves had the ability to access the data under a court order, and they still fucking said it - that's how corrupt things got between Clinton+Bush+Obama. Trump is our last hope as a nation and he's doing a fucking marvelous job so far.
People don't trust CNN, MSNBC, etc because they lie fucking constantly. If you start saying all the guys not lying are foreign government sponsored people will just start to like those governments.
You've drunk too much of the kool-aid. And don't forget, Trump's hated the NFL ever since the USFL days (when a decision he made pretty much forced the league out of business)
As a nerd, I've hated football since I first learned of its existence. You know how I know you don't belong here?
They expressly declared they were kneeling to protest America and refuse to recognize the flag. This is some marvelous attempt to shift the goal post you've made though.
We don't have such definitions for "good", "evil", and "meaningful". We have no agreed-on way to measure these things.
That's only because the good people not only don't slaughter and evil people but allow them to continue voting on the matter. You're describing game theory, not philosophy.
I'm no mathematician but I'm pretty sure trig is a form of Diophantine equations. Dark matter has no basis outside of equations (which is kind of ironic given the sides we fall on in the context of this discussion.) I fall on the side that the lensing we've seen (there isn't much) from dark matter is either measurement error or something related to interfering gravity waves (not the OMG-blip kind like LIGO detects, but run of the mill stuff at ultra-low frequencies from planets rotating and stars moving - nothing with a start/stop is scalar afterall,) which would also be able to explain the relative positions of galaxies the issue is meant to address. The general rule of thumb over time is that physics gets extended, not contracted - so when we do break relativity (it's practically guaranteed eventually) the stuff relativity describes within contexts explored will still hold true, including the way black holes work.
It would also help to have a similar alternative to Google Analytics. It's a really tough thing to do without all that data because as the operator of many small websites I don't really have the data available to see things like demographics beyond basic location tracking. Google Analytics lets you see the age, sex, preferred language, etc of the people visiting your site, which tells you a great deal about how to meet the needs of your relatively small userbase.
The LIGO measurements have exceeded 5 sigma and they've since managed to determine the location of at least one of the events, which were backed by observations to correlate with the supermassive blackholes at the center of a galaxy. Between gravitational lensing and the gravity waves the LIGO results are as irrefutable as they get for proof. While I absolutely agree the theory of gravity of incomplete (stanch aether theory advocate myself,) the concept of black holes as described within the framework of general relativity are solid.
I am serious. Mathematics itself has nothing to do with the real world. It's a tremendously successful tool.
This is dead fucking wrong. Every pure mathematical theory we've come across and had people poking at for enough time (typically hundreds or thousands of years) has been shown to be some integral basis of the fabric of reality. It takes us a long fucking time to turn math into physics, but physics is math. Christ, even the fact we live in three dimensions boils down to the nature of Pi (it's not some arbitrary number, it's an infinite series perfectly represented as the oscillation of counteracting forces with a fixed rate of decade) and the fact you can only tie a knot in 3 dimensions. Pi was known about for thousands of years before that actual spatial relations were even hinted at and the knot piece is actually relatively new at a few hundred years old. There is no aspect of physics which does not boil down to pure mathematics, from integrals of multiple force interactions to Maxwell's original quaternion form equations giving us the entirety of modern electrodynamics to the fucking Pythagorean theory giving us the means by which all forces balance out over arbitrarily many dimensions. The universe is math given form, math is not merely a descriptor. If math were a descriptor Pi might be considered just a constant, some oddity where forces balance to give us the universe we see, but that's not the case at all because Pi cannot be anything else to have the meaning it has with any other parameters - it's not 3.14159.... it's (4/1)-(4/3)+(4/5)-(4/7)+(4/9)-(4/11)... - it is a time-invariant depiction of forces balancing over infinity, yielding what we see as 90 degrees to form a right angle - if it were anything else, literally ANYTHING else, it would not mean this. Out of all the infinite possibilities, it happens to be the one which means the universe, down to the fabric of space it exists in, is a mathematical construct.
If physics was a result of mathematics, why all the experimentation? We should be able to derive the existence of dark matter and figure out its properties de novo. As it is, we know that it's got mass, it doesn't clump like regular matter does, and it has at most very little interaction with electromagnetism. We also have indications about some things it isn't.
Dark matter isn't a real thing, it's a sign of a hole in the theory along with dark energy (though dark energy is more likely the place where we can link quantum mechanics with relativity, dark matter is likely to just disappear when that link is made.)
Don't get me wrong, I'm not suggesting we know shit about the universe, in fact I'm 99% confident that in all likelihood it is going to be an infinite puzzle wherein we have more questions every time we get answers (why else bothering to even dream of living forever in spite of the heavily-weighted nihilism the universe seems to impose,) but we do know enough to engineer things and we in turn know enough to have a pretty good idea of what can be engineered. If we can make it a billion years via biological immortality, mind uploads, whatever - then if we can't crack the heat death problem we don't deserve to live on (nietzschean now, the horror.) Most likely black holes exist and follow the mathematical constructs outlined via the Schwarzschild Metric which will give us the Kerr-Newman Metric for charged and rotating varieties. Interestingly enough, an electron is damned close to perfectly described as a naked singularity at the exact size required for it to be an electron by purely relativistic equations, but you would have to do some weirdness with the charge to make it come out right (specifically, giving it a different spin or different perceived spin from the standpoint of an outside observer,) since nobody has run that through the quantum gauntlet it cou
Thinking this will prevent war, the US government gives an impenetrable supercomputer total control over launching nuclear missiles. But what the computer does with the power is unimaginable to its creators.

Nothing I said is nihilistic in nature, you moron.

If someone has one of these spy devices in their home they deserve all the worst the world has to offer.

This is what fascism looks like.
Nope, we got rid of Obama and avoided Hillary, this is what progress looks like.
If you want a naked singularity just look at an electron.
IRC and Jabber are where the cool people play.

When your autocorrect's auto trained dictionnary fixes "USD" as "USB", you know that you've been a filthy consumerist pigdog way to much.

A) They were kneeling in protest of the national anthem. B) Americans are subservient to nothing, thus it is treasonous to kneel.
Puerto Ricans aren't Hawaiians, you fucking racist.

This is not the place for viral superbowl advertising, even if I didn't dislike traitorous kneelers.
Seems like real marketing.
