I flew from Ithaca to Rhode Island 4 years ago for my father's funeral. Ithaca airport security pulled me aside but let my brother through. We both have big noses and I had a good beard going at the time. My brother had a valid drivers' license and at the time I did not, so when they asked for one I said "I have a NYS non driver ID" the woman didn't let me finish my sentence before saying "step over here sir" and for the next 15 minutes I was patted down, swabbed, and questioned about the nature of my trip. I was also asked how to pronounce my last name and what nationality it was (it is of Alsatian origin). On the flight home I had some of my fathers old military stuff in my bag (a few dead 7.62 rounds, a. dead 50cal, a demilitarized hand grenade, and a claymore detonator. Bags went right through no problem. I had shaved my beard for the funeral, so that had probably helped.
How is it any better than what the KKK does and did in the past?
Is that a serious question? You can't think of ANY differences in their tactics? Dumping a list on pastebin = violent acts of murder, rape, and torture? Wow.
It doesn't have anything to do with it. He was comparing the reactionary response of "kill em with fire" that would occur when someone was outed as a "communist", which is what will happen here if this release gets enough attention.
I still don't understand how wanting and fighting for a more just and fair society is now considered an "Evil" thing. I'm out of the loop cause I genuinely don't care about internet debates.
If only all those kids that killed themselves because of being bullied online could have just seen this comment,you could have saved them! I suggest sharing this post all over the internet! More people need to see this great wisdom you've bestowed upon us! Rejoice! YOU HAVE SINGLE-HANDEDLY ENDED ALL HATRED AND EVIL JUST BY POINTING OUT THAT WORDS ARE NOT PHYSICAL THINGS
I'm not a CSR, just a lowly customer who has gone through enough BS with them to know that a large majority don't give a shit about me or my problems and are only there for a paycheck. My post was a sarcastic one, didn't mean to rattle your cage good sir. I did work for directv for a short while and there was a temp call center in the office there that was staffed by some of the least intelligent people I've had the pleasure of lending cigarettes to.
This tactic may sometimes work on a smaller business (it doesn't). Basically all you're telling the CSR is that you're unreasonable and will either be put on a long time-out in the hold corner, or they'll "escalate" you to a CSR that has a different personality. Another favorite is when people ask to speak to a supervisor. Oh man does that get some laughs in the call center.

So this release was a fake, and the true release will not have any mistakes? How did they verify?
To be fair, this is a story about death.
Get a room you two.
Dylan Storm Roof? Is that name ringing a bell? Recent enough for you?
They're just prepping us for our Chinese-speaking future.
Change the name of the software, add some obnoxious and invasive "features" = Profit????
The only people who would call Al Gore "one the greatest propaganda artists" are completely oblivious.

The reason this is still a thing is because there are people who are paid to be involved in it, and have made being on either 'side' their actual job.
I think that is more a consequence of the actions of both sides, rather than the reason it perpetuates.

...and it was still too short.
The ignorant will not be swayed by facts. Hence their ignorance.

The 2 plane tickets for 1 person kind of fat.
My brother stopped drinking soda and lost 40 lbs. He also walks like 8 miles a day at his job which probably helped.
Was this troll piece "written" by Racter?
If steam ever goes under and you don't have your full library downloaded, you're fucked anyway ya dingus.
not supposed to eat meat of any kind, or sugar, or alcohol, avoid carbs, avoid fat.
Correct. We are not supposed to eat. That would be insensitive to those with an osmotic metabolism.
