  1. The red light thing was shown to be a complete hoax. But yes, let's launch the hyperbole parade here on /.

  2. Again, there will never be 0 accidents. That's not what 'better' means in this context.

  3. "How long before these run over someone's pet?"

    That happens all the time with regular drivers, so it's not really the point is it?

    If you can prove that these lead to accidents less frequently than a human driver that's an improvement. The goal is not, nor will it ever be, 0 accidents.

    The number isn't just 'Jews', for starters. There's a whole crap ton of other demographics that got rolled up into the total death count.

    I do 100% believe the figure, within a margin of error (which is completely fucking irrelevant).

    I can now think of another possibility. Pedantic dipshits.

    We could also just say 'fuck neo-nazi's and whatever they want'.

    They can make their own search engine.

    This isn't even relevant to the person you're replying to. Nobody is questioning whether White People or Black People were better or worse slave owners, or more prevalent or less prevalent.

    They weren't fucking volunteers, nor were they well paid.

    Questioning whether the holocaust happened?

    I suppose it doesn't instantly make you a neo-nazi, you could just be brain dead, or you might be 10 years old and hadn't read anything on it yet.

    I can't think of any other possibilities.

    No, 'as a citizen of South Carolina' you have to pay that tax.

    That's because they haven't even finished the review they've been ordered to make.

    If I were the CIA heads I'd be refusing to testify to shit that hasn't even been fucking completed yet too. It's called doing my job.

    Wait, you think either of those two would actually admit to it if it were true? How fucking brain dead are you?

    The story here would be "some dipshit crackpot confidential source said Obama is a Kenyan Muslim", which would not be fake news. That did actually get around as 'News', probably with a bit less 'crackpot' mentioned (oh wait, they said Trump was pushing it at one point, so yeah crackpot applies).

    They exposed a one sided truth (if that's what happened).

    That's not 'truth', that's 'getting your ass manipulated and being too stupid to realize it'.

    I mean, I get it. However if you think the RNC and Trump weren't up to the same shit you've been conned big time.

    Also hilarious you think I wanted Clinton to win.

    There's a reason you voted for Trump, you can't think deeper than the surface. Hence why you actually think these things can be done, they can't, and they likely won't even be tried.

    You got conned by a pro, how does it feel to get pwned that hard?

  16. It's not a publicly available assessment, it's (very obviously) classified and the purview of Congress.

    Did you dipshits actually expect the CIA to put something like that into a fucking press release? lol

  17. I suppose if you believe in the 'absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence' as a justification for 'WHOOPS' or that Donald Rumsfeld didn't push for the operation in the first place, or that the whole uranium bit was a tiny intelligence thread pushed by him as 'credible' didn't really happen (lol) you'll believe anything right?

  18. I did read it. It was a cry fest with little to do with the quality of fact checking of anything current. Very little.

    How she ran a failed blog all those years ago isn't really relevant, and again, comes off as wanting to have a big old cry.

  19. Well what you're giving is a correlation. The debate is about the causation.

    It's a fact that there's a correlation, so good job reading a graph.

    I'd be much more interested if it was an article about how snopes did a poor job of fact checking. Instead it's a big ol cry fest about how she's a liberal. Read: I don't give a shit if the job is getting done correctly.

    Yes.

    Did you actually think I was a liberal and would be triggered by that?

  23. If they're in dispute they are not, in fact, 'facts'.

    They're opinion or educated guesses, they can be labeled as such. Maybe this will help the journalists wait until they actually know something before putting trash on the internet.

    Hah, who am I kidding.

    Warning labels aren't censorship.

    If you don't want a warning label don't create fake made up shit.
