Two blankets and a handkerchief? Sounds experimental, more than anything else.
If they wanted to inundate the native in smallpox, they would have come up with hundreds of blankets or simply dumped a corpse in the water supply.
The biggest historical fact refuting this nonsense is that smallpox spread from the European settlers to the Amerinds without any deliberate attempts, and probably wiped out 90% of them.
The great European genocide of Amerinds myth is just that, a myth. I hadn't heard the high carrot diet one however. Too bad it's a myth, as I like carrots.
Stalin was not the first and not the only Russian tyrant who was ready to turn the whole nation into âoecamp dust.â You may be interested to know that after the Crimean War of 1854â"56, the government of Tsar Nicholas I sold at auction for fertilizer the bleached bones of 38,000 Russian soldiers who fell in the battle of Sevastopol.
Today the world is threatened with a second Crimean War. The troops under the command of the new tsar of Russia are on alert.
This ruling makes sense when you consider the alternative:
Government would have to police each search engine to make sure it was permitting full free speech.
Then, the potential for abuse is huge. Government could simply drop something -- like, say, far-right information -- off the list and allow it to be censored while claiming it was legally not censorship.
Government could also force search engines to incorporate other information that is favored by government, and penalize them if that information didn't make it high in the rankings.
We don't want government in the business of determining what "free speech" is in legal terms.
"It seems our hive minds were not intelligently designed, but began on a distant moon emerging from strange complex life forms as fecal bacteria from their anus."
It's relatively fast and easy to take community college courses at your own pace. You can then transfer to a full university for your final year and get the BA/BS.
If we'd left it up to Jimmy "Gentleman Red" Carter, the USSR would still be holding on to huge parts of Eastern Europe and murdering dissidents.
In leadership, a softy hand is often more destructive than a strong hand, which affirms which behaviors are good and which are bad. Reagan was able to implement a clear moral boundary and drive totalitarianism away.
Two police officers are patrolling a street in Queens, NY.
A gunshot rings out. One officer falls, gasping, and dies in a pool of blood.
The detective investigating the case correctly identifies the house from which the gunshot came.
Do we simply look up the owner, arrest him and charge him with the crime? He is after all responsible for the house, so maybe 3-6 hours of violent anal dilation in jail will convince him to turn over the miscreant.
Or is a more nuanced question, such as whose finger was actually on the trigger, required?
IPs get passed around like high school cheerleaders and it's actually in our best interests to give people incentive to freely share bandwidth.
For that reason, it's essential to identify the triggerman (actual downloader) and not simply arrest the homeowner.
much of the information on Wikipedia relating to holistic approaches to healing is "biased, misleading, out of date, or just plain wrong"
Most of the information on Wikipedia is "biased, misleading, out of date, or just plain wrong."
Even worse, most of it is plagiarized, drawing eyes away from the books, smaller sites and other sources that produced it.
Wikipedia, Facebook, Twitter et al. have concentrated the internet from a decentralized system of peers to a system not unlike old school TV, but participatory: a few big centralized forces control everything, and we participate out of fear that we would miss out otherwise.
It led to some controversial things such as the Vietnam war, but it was effective at stopping the Soviet Union from conquering more territory.
Which, given what a social, political, environmental and cultural wasteland the Communists left behind wherever they gained authority, was a justifiable and in fact laudable goal.
As empires age, truth becomes secondary to working the system. Then just as the proles-turned-kings think they have it all figured out, it collapses around them and they end up in a third world wreck. It surprises them every time.
This sort of mentality creates environments where mediocre (or outright damaging) employees thrive, because everyone is too thin skinned to handle reasonable criticism without creating a massive upheaval. Getting along takes precedence over actual job performance, and the workplace transforms into a giant adult daycare.
I just quoted that because it's true. It should probably be cut 'n' pasted a few dozen more times for effect, maybe in bold 24pt Times New Roman with a red shadow effect.
However, I can see their perspective too. They're trying to cut out the antisocial types who are a drag and can often be little saboteurs in the midst of otherwise normally functioning employees.
Those types do exist and they're extremely toxic.
On the other hand, too much labrador and you do have the day care mentality you describe, which is usually a sign that nothing will get done and yet everyone will stay "work" 60 hour weeks to prove how cool they are.
You might just bring this up with the interviewer. Tell them you have a positive work outlook, and like socializing with other people, but you don't like adult daycare and if that's what they're looking for, you're not interested. You'll get some interesting (and not all unfavorable) replies. If you do get an angry reply, you've found Douchebag, Inc. and you don't want to work there anyway.
To employers, it's of secondary concern that you're more competent than the other guy.
Primary concern is whether you can be a cog, e.g. will you get along with other team members (which they translate into "enthusiastic, cheerful and forgiving") and will you be able to understand, cooperate with and stay out of the way of your superiors. A big part of this is trying to avoid hiring an employee who also creates problems in addition to doing his/her job.
I suggest thinking vapid and friendly, like a labrador retriever, when you go into a job interview.
We're blocked everywhere despite no pornographic content.
Somehow, web filter drones find it hard to believe that the "American Nihilist Underground Society (ANUS)" not only chose the domain deliberately, but has been around for 20+ years.
BitCoins remind me of bongs, etc. with stickers on them that say "for novelty use only."
They never claimed it was a currently, only that you could use it as one... you know, could, if you chose to and took on the risk yourself.
There's a reason people developed backing behind currencies. Do I hate modern society/government (same thing)? Yes, more than any of you. But making businesses to replace it isn't the solution.
A mission to Titan is essential now. Not only is it a moral imperative to explore these seas, but there's probably seafront property we can sell to dot-com billionaires.

Except that the tale is incorrect.

What on a practical level is this helping?
They designed the VW bug without this kind of technology.
Something tells me that car quality has more to do with design choices and corner cutting, materials and manufacture, than visualization.
Or am I just a grandpa who should GTFO of technology altogether? Off my lawn...
If they vomited, and the vomitus contained the bacteria, would that account for these findings?
All very true. Thank you for your comment.
However, I think there's another dimension to this, which is the question of "what is speech"?
To me, protected speech is the ability to write and publish political, scientific, social, artistic, etc. ideas of some substance.
It would not include statements made in a crowded theater at all since that's not a public forum.
Regarding obscenity law, it would protect the ability to publish obscene material but perhaps not display it.
The main point as the founding fathers(tm) saw it was to protect political speech from being censored before it was able to reach its audience.

The Chinese have been hacking American military stuff since the 1980s.
Not only that, they were the source of the vast majority of the weapons used against us in the Vietnam war, and fought directly against us in Korea.
They're bad guys.

Definitely not stoned, and I see only one typo. It happens to everyone; deal with it.

Wearables are great. You can check Facebook, tweet on Twitter, chat with friends via SnapChat, all from the comfort of your own pants.
It's basically like being at home in front of the computer except that you're not. Since no one else has any ideas, we can call this "progress."
But now, credentialing is a process that rewards the slow and dutiful, not the thoughtful.
Rock star status is achieved through acts of dubious worth that nonetheless demonstrate desired skills, but not thinking ability.
The private colleges have jumped the shark on this one.
I agree on PhD programs however.
