  1. Re:Propaganda! It works, Bitches! on Wikileaks Co-founder Julian Assange Arrested in London (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    "That's what actual journalism is about, not the stuff you see on Fox News, CNN or MSNBC".

    Fixed that for you!

  2. If I had mod points, I would absolutely give you one.

  3. Re:Do we charge homeowners for being burgled? on Elizabeth Warren Introduces Bill That Could Hold Tech Execs Responsible For Data Breaches (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    No, we don't charge homeowners from being burgled. But of course, that's an analogy so flawed only some kind of corporate-owned troll would even raise it.

  4. Re:Well, there's a multi-billion dollar media engi on The Washington Post Asks: Should 8chan Be Considered a Terrorist Recuiting Site? (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    It's kind of ironic that it's conservatives who are filled with rage, fear and ignorance, who lash out at the slightest excuse and scream hysterically when they get a little of their own medicine back, or at the smallest intrusion of objective reality into their fantasy world. They're the first to call others "snowflake" and "libtard", but demographically they're largely a pathetic group of proudly ignorant, underachieving, low IQ, old white men whose accomplishments are mostly in their heads.

    For example, have you heard the vitriol being directed at that Republican Senator who lost an eye serving your country because he dared to demand that draft dodger Donald Trump stop insulting John McCain? They've been calling him a coward, a traitor and a pussy...and you can bet virtually none of the senile old farts have ever been within a thousand miles of a shooting war.

  5. Bullshit. Right this moment Devin Nunes, Trump's Number One Bum Boy, is trying to sue Twitter over an obvious parody account. And he's far from the only one. As a matter of fact, Bill Maher humiliated another conservative by pointing out that the whiny little weasel was actually suing his mother.

    It's amazing how often conservatives aren't just wrong, they're ignorant and proud to be that way.

  6. Re:Forgot the Censorship Icon on The Washington Post Asks: Should 8chan Be Considered a Terrorist Recuiting Site? (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Oh, quit being such a fucking snowflake. Why are so many conservatives little more than trolls who see every silly little thing as proof of a worldwide conspiracy against them?

    That icon comes and goes pretty much at random. I've seen it on any number of stories, irrespective of the political status of the subject matter. Unfortunately for conservatives, they're more often the ones threatening or encouraging violence, and therefore more likely to be called out.

  7. Just don't ever use the expression, "Jerk it off".

  8. I'm thinking of a more...recreational application of this kind of software. Something that might be found on the "Silicon Wives" website, for example.

  9. Re:Expect more fines - particularly if the UK leav on Google Fined Nearly $1.7 Billion For Ad Practices That Violated European Antitrust Laws (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Unlike the US, there are still places in Europe where size, wealth and power don't provide immunity from prosecution when a corporation violates the law.

  10. Sometimes, too much is a good thing on The Most Powerful iMac Pro Now Costs $15,927 (vice.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    Sixteen grand for a machine like this is still dirt cheap for a high end animation studio like Pixar or Ghibli.

  11. Re:Definitely keep this legal on Scientists Call For Global Moratorium On Gene Editing of Embryos (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Sadly, you're probably right. And thanks.

  12. Definitely keep this legal on Scientists Call For Global Moratorium On Gene Editing of Embryos (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Imagine how wonderful it would be if a family that had been 100% black for five or six generations could produce a child who physically appeared to be 100% white. It would be fun to watch all the racists try to find some kind of test to figure out who was a "real" white person and who was just a pale imitation.

  13. Looks like Trump's little buddy is a busy boy on North Korea Advertises Military Hardware On Twitter and YouTube, Defying Sanctions (vice.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Short of waving his pecker in Donald Trump's face, is there anything more blatant Kim Jong Un could to to show the US he will do whatever he likes, and because he has nukes, there's sweet FA the US can do about it?

  14. Re:Back to the future? on SpaceX's Crew Dragon Capsule Returns To Earth After Historic Test Flight (nbcnews.com) · · Score: 1

    I think you've got a good point there. I guess some general or other maybe persuaded the congress creatures they could get more bang for the buck with a few more fighter planes, or a semi-useful bomber.

  15. Reminds me of the scorpion and frog story on Facebook Wants Up To 30 Percent of Fan Subscriptions Vs Patreon's 5 Percent (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 3

    I understand that people have good reasons to hold their nose and use Facebook for staying in touch with friends and family. But there have to be limits. Artists who turn their work over to Zuckerberg and the rest of those cocksuckers deserve what they get.

  16. Loved the link. Well played, sir!

  17. So you're saying Americans, who have all kinds of guns, are such natural-born cowards they didn't have the balls to protect their rights when the so-called "Patriot Act" was dropped on them by their government?

    Or are you maybe just full of crap, and guns have nothing to do with it one way or the other?

  18. Not anymore, apparently. It looks like tough, independent Australians are being turned into an obedient little slaves to Big Brother.

    I would recommend Proton Mail, either the free or paid version. It's based in Switzerland and dedicated to protecting the privacy of its users.

  19. They've got this backwards on A Third of All Chrome Extensions Request Access To User Data on Any Site · · Score: 1

    Let's not forget these apps are flourishing in a Google-built ecosystem.

    The surprising thing is that two thirds of them DON'T spend their time harvesting every bit of information they can from devices owned by you, your family, your friends, your workmates and probably every person you have had a random encounter with over the last six months.

  20. Re:Is marketing dead??? on DC Cancels Comic Where Jesus Learns From Superhero After Outcry (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    If they think THAT version of the "Second Coming" was blasphemous, it's lucky the Christ addicts don't know what I would do with the title.

    I guess you're upset, being caught and called out for being a prancing, classist bigot. I can understand that. I bet you wish you could recall the comment where you revealed that you think you're a cut above the rednecks you claim to support.

    Do you also ride to the rescue of damsels in distress, then rape them as soon as you get a chance? I bet you do.

    Those "powerless" people elected Donald Trump, and we're all paying for their willful ignorance and outright stupidity.

    The comment that bothers you isn't "punching down". It's kicking up, with humor, right at the crotch of violence-prone, reality-averse cretins who are enthusiastically participating in an on-going attempt to cheapen, demean and damage the United States of America.

    If you're OK with that, you're part of the problem.

  23. The bar for AI will be set very low on Trump Administration Unveils Order To Prioritize and Promote AI (reuters.com) · · Score: 0

    I can see this working out well for the Trump administration, with changes for the better occurring almost right away. After all, I've got a microwave oven that has a ten-point IQ advantage on the current president.

  24. Tell the cops to go pound sand on NYPD To Google: Stop Revealing the Location of Police Checkpoints (nypost.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    If they're allowed to get away with this, you can bet it won't be long before they'll be trying once again to make it illegal to video them when they're beating the crap out of somebody.

    The police need to be smacked down hard. If you happen to be part of a demographic they don't particularly like, your odds of getting beaten or killed by the cops for no particular reason are higher than your chances of being injured or killed in a terrorist attack.

    If pedophiles ever get a social justice campaign, it will be conservatives running it.

    And did you ever stop to think that your 8-year-old might have wanted to change sex so it would make him/her less desirable to you, and therefore better able to grow up as a child rather than a sex object?
