You could edit any post. Often some flamebait line comes as a single line at the end of an otherwise reasonable post. You can just edit out the flame and send them a message explaining that they should be more respectful of other forum members.
I joined one internet forum and the first post I made was edited because it violated their rules. It pissed me off because they changed my words without even noting that it was edited.
It was an e-cig forum and I made some minor reference to marijuana. I would have rather they just deleted my post and told me to resubmit it without the drug references. I abandoned that place.
Of course I hadn't read their rules before I posted, but I thought it was a reasonable post and their rule against even mentioning marijuana is IMO a stupid one.
I noticed IMDB forums starting to turn into crap during Breaking Bad. Tons of people were jumping on and seriously discussing the show, but a lot of other people just logged in to crap all over everything.
Then I guess about 1 1/2 years ago they changed things a bit - requiring either a credit card or a phone number to post - and I wasn't giving either of those things out so I stopped posting.
I think the forums were manageable until they got too popular. I still sometimes hop over and read comments on things that I'm watching and was even tempted to chime in yesterday when I remembered I can't post there anymore.
What I heard is many Hawaiians were claiming this as their own rightful land since it was deeded to their ancestors who never sold it and let's face it - the US screwed Hawaii "bigly" to take them over and make them a state.
I saw a news report about it a couple of weeks ago and I have no concept of 700 acres. I grew up on a lot that was about a half-acre, so 1400 times the size of my suburban childhood home's front and back yards?
700 acres is 283 hectares. Nope, that muddles it even more for me.
My thought was that Zuckerberg should give them a break, but one claimant said they were offered a measly $500 in exchange to giving up being able to at least traverse part of the property like they said they had done for their entire lives.
I may have seen a biased news story and I'm admittedly biased against Zuckerberg, but I thought he was being an ass for not giving in at least a little - at least for public relations sake.
And then Zuckerberg sued them? Is he high? No wait, I'm high. If Zuckerberg were smoking the Maui Wowie (or Kauai Kind) he'd be a bit more generous, but he's obviously drunk on his own power and riches.
OTOH, 700 acres is a little over a square mile (~2.8 sq. km) and I can grasp how big (or small) that is.
Maybe Zuck anticipated a fight no matter where he bought property and that property is worth fighting for.
And then some of the people suing Zuckerberg didn't even realize they "owned" the property until it became an issue.
Who knows?
I am high, but if I were him, I would buy a small plot of land in the middle of it and instead of building a wall I would manipulate the lava flows so they cut off access to anyone who didn't have a helicopter to get there.
Hell, you'll even get some YouTube channels doing nothing but videos about "5 product placements you surely missed in (show)".
I had never seen one of these so I found one - 10 product placements in TV/film that you didn't notice.
Almost every example they used was blatantly obvious, although not always overly obnoxious. The first was Lone Star Beer in True Detective. I've never seen that show, but there's a guy with a 6-pack of Lone Star (labels all facing the viewer) and he drinks one. Yeah, not hard to spot, but I'm not sure it was very distracting.
A Marlboro truck in Superman II? That Superman gets slammed into? Kind of obvious. I've never seen a cigarette truck. Then he gets thrown into the Coca Cola sign in Times Square? IIRC there really that sign really did exist and looked the same in real life, so not distracting.
They even included Wayne's World, which was mocking product placement in movies - maybe it was actual product placement, but they made it obvious (that's the joke).
If I actually don't notice it, it's not bothersome to me. And then what about Radar and his Nehi Grape is M*A*S*H? Was that product placement? I don't even know, but it's completely believable that it would be his favorite drink and I don't think it distracted from anything. (That was not included in the YT video).
It was a local Fox affiliate's news involving a couple of disgruntled employees who that local affiliate did not allow to exercise their own editorial content. The story never aired.
I'm sure someone will accuse Snopes of being "fake news" or something, but I find their version of events more credible than yours.
This is the problem. I've seen people on/. complain about the price of textbooks and how they could buy them much cheaper in Asia for example.
I've got 2 copies of K&R's The C Programming Language. One of them is the usual paperback most of us probably have somewhere on our bookshelves and the other is....Chinese I guess. I mean it's in English just like the other, but it's a hard-cover edition and the first few pages have Chinese characters on them. (It's actually a little red book - also little read, lol).
No seriously it's little and it's red. I can't remember how I acquired it, but I'm sure there is a Chinese graduate of my alma mater that is missing his little red book.
The thing is everyone bases things on their own anecdotal experience. I hate Comcast (and AT&T) with a passion based on very bad customer experiences.
I'm sure some people manage to have Comcast as their ISP/cable provider and the service works well and they don't think it's that expensive because they can afford it easily enough anyway.
When I was a Comcast customer I had outages all the time both with the cable TV and internet service. Their customer service/repair were always a hassle to deal with.
I've snipped most of my rant here, because it was just ranting about my own problems with Comcast, but CenturyLink's customer service is just as bad, but at least they don't have nearly as many outages in my neighborhood and at least in my area their DSL is as fast as Comcast - and they're cheaper - if you badger them enough about getting a decent price.
I used to rant about Cox Communications too when they were my ISP/cable provider. I actually miss them now.
I use Verizon because I've been a customer of AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile and I had problems with all of those other carriers and VZW has never screwed me over (too much anyway). But I guarantee you there is some AT&T customer out there who will say that AT&T never screwed them and go on to tell you about how bad Verizon was to them.
Anecdotally I think it suppresses hunger in me. If I'm drunk and become really hungry (i.e. "get the munchies") it's probably because I haven't eaten enough.
That may just be me though, but the same was true when I was young and in college.
Oh, it's 2 AM and you're suddenly hungry? You've been drinking for 6 or 7 hours without eating anything, of course you're hungry!
And while composing this I did come over all peckish and I have been drinking, but I haven't actually eaten anything in about 10 hours. Of course I'm hungry!
I wish I had a kebab, but I'll have to settle for something less exotic. (Meatloaf and mashed potatoes it is then!)
I dont care about literally anything phone companies are pushing right now. I dont care how thick my phone is, if it's less than an inch it's fine. I dont care how powerfull my phone is
That mostly describes me as well, but I would add updates! A removable battery would be a huge plus too.
I know I could try rooting it and taking charge, but I really didn't want to mess with that and I wasn't sure whether to trust any instructions I found on the internet.
I had given up on ever getting Marshmallow a few months ago. I almost even bought a new phone just for that, but mine is less than 2 years old and I like it (Droid Turbo).
And lo and behold I looked at it yesterday and an update was available! Finally! Yes, I'm finally on 6.0.1.
But updates will be a huge consideration the next time I get a new phone.
Sure the Germans can determine that some news stories are "fake" and they can tell FB to remove them (or links to them I guess) from their site and they could technically do that I guess.
Are ze Germans going to meticulously examine every website to see if they should be deleted or will they take a heavy-handed approach and just ban almost everything that aren't from approved sources?
If they're going to carefully consider each case, anyone could set up a dozen websites while they're trying to figure out if one of them in particular is "fake".
Not to mention the issue of censoring opposing viewpoints. I'm amazed at some of the things people call "fake" now. It has quickly become the first defense of people who wish to deny reality.
This post is totally fake!
And I'll admit to being pretty ignorant about Germany's laws, but do they have anything resembling the First Amendment in the US? I know you can't go around promoting Nazis which you could do in the US, but I'm not sure where exactly they draw the line.
I mean surely, Germany believes in free speech, right?
Redefreiheit? (I don't speak German - for all I know the website that told me that means "Freedom of Speech" in German was fake).
Fractals can reveal hidden and often self-repeating patterns in everyday objects and phenomena.
It doesn't say how exactly, but I remember when I first learned about fractals. It was Chaos
Unfortunately Gizmodo doesn't explain their methods and I'm too tired to read the actual study.
Every once in a while I attribute things to fractals, particularly Cantor Dusts. People look at me weird, but they think I'm smart when I say stuff like that.
in the first place, this is too general, and group too many conditions together (derived from too few clues) to be precise and informative.
I agree with you there. I wonder if there isn't some confirmation bias going on. The first article says they "examined paintings from four artists know to have suffered from either Parkinson's or Alzheimer's". I think it's too easy to pick out things and say "See? I told you he had Alzheimer's".
second, what is the point?
If you could actually detect things like that based on a person's life work, be it painting or accounting or software development it might be a very valuable tool.
I'm wondering what it could tell from the software I've written over the years. Of course the early code was written by a young energetic idealistic naif and in recent years it's been written by a crotchety guy set in his ways but who thinks he's still open-minded.
Could that be an early sign of Alzheimer's or am I just getting older? (I console myself by saying I'm wiser now, but to be honest I just don't care as much - maybe that is wiser?).
If you could combine the wisdom and experience I have now with the youthful energy and idealism of my earlier years....I might even be good at what I do.
I have no desire to talk to my devices and I definitely don't want them listening to me either.
I spent about 5 minutes playing with Okay Google on my phone and it wasn't very good and about 6 months later it finally responded to some music I was listening to and I realized I had never turned it off.
And it really pisses me off when I am going through some voice prompt system and I can't just press a number for my response - it insists on a voice response. No, we don't speak the same language and your voice recognition system sucks.
I also was very resistant to using a mouse and I also keep a pen and note paper in my desk.
I was wrong about mice I guess - they are actually useful.
But I see know use in these Alexa thingies. I could see getting a sarcastic parody device though. "Hey, Alexis, what's the weather like today?"
"Look out the window, you moron! It's December. It's probably cold. Either that or it's very cold. It might even be snowing!"
Just thinking of some of the commercials I've seen....
1) Alexa, turn off the lights. Okay, haven't we had this technology ever since the Clapper was a thing? Clap On! Clap Off!
2) Alexa, order more tape. Okay, right - like I order so much tape that Alexa knows what brand I buy, what kind I need and I'm not even concerned at all about the price because of course I'm going to get it from Amazon.
3) Alexa, what's the weather like in Miami? If I really cared, I could easily look that up on the internet.
This doesn't even pass the "Wow factor" test let alone the "do I need or even want it?" test.
And I'd be willing to bet that within 5 minutes of getting one I'd be going all Samuel Jackson on it. "English, motherfucker. Do you speak it?"
Dunno why this was modded troll. At worst it's not very funny, but it is somewhat relevant.

Lord knows I've blown money on overpriced cheap crap before. If $150,000 to them is not much more than $50 in my mind and they're fans of Donald Trump - let them blow their money.
I do think the conspicuous consumption is a bit perverse though. On this Christmas Eve though, I am thankful for the things I do have and remind myself not to be envious.
I've got my old Android phone which will never receive another update and I think someone installed systemd on my Windows laptop so I've got that going for me. The check engine light in my car isn't lit anymore, although that could be just because it's broken too.
But I've got it better than a lot of people. That phone doesn't even cost as much as my home! It's just another trinket to the super-wealthy just like the Hot Wheels car on my desk.

Did Fox News win a court battle for the right to lie on air?
The MSM has a new term "alternative facts".

It was laughable to hear Conway actually use that. It's as if she's admitting to living in some sort of alternate reality.

I didn't know Calvin Coolidge was nicknamed "dubya". What a coincidence that two presidents have been called that.
The actual quote is
“After all, the chief business of the American people is business.”
But he goes on to say:
“Of course, the accumulation of wealth cannot be justified as the chief end of existence,” he said. “But we are compelled to recognize it as a means to well-nigh every desirable achievement. So long as wealth is made the means and not the end, we need not greatly fear it...But it calls for additional effort to avoid even the appearance of the evil of selfishness. In every worthy profession, of course, there will always be a minority who will appeal to the baser instinct. There always have been, probably always will be, some who will feel that their own temporary interest may be furthered by betraying the interest of others.”
And send all the refunds in the form of checks from a company with a really suggestive offensive name and see if anyone dares cash it:

That's my take on it - cheer's everyone.
I think a lot of people feel stuck. My phone has been on the market for just over 26 months and it finally got Marshmallow last week.
I've had mine less than 2 years so my choice were try to root it myself or upgrade to a new phone or just keep a lot of apps off my phone.
I was thinking about getting something like a FitBit, but the permissions issue was a deal-killer.
I've refused to install a lot of apps because of permissions. Now I can consider getting a Fitbit (or something like it) again.
Predicting Trump would be elected was a stroke of genius, but not because he could foresee the future.
It was more like a stab in the dark - people already thought he was kind of out there, so if he predicts trump and he's wrong, so what?
But if he's right, he's a genius!
And so is Michael Moore? (didn't he predict a trump win too?)
(Actually, they both are arguably geniuses even if I may not like them.)
There was a good chance that Hillary could have won and if she had we'd be calling Scott Adams an idiot. (right, like trump ever had a chance....)
Unless someone was involved in rigging the election there's no way anyone could have called it ahead of time without a Gambler's Roll
Why would you even think that a person's sanity is in anyway related to their intelligence?

Uh!
I wonder if when Sammy Hagar was writing those lyrics he actually wrote out "Uh!" or if he just thought to add that when he sang it.
