That still doesn't change the fact that during Gandhi's time they collectively felt squeamish about thrashing unarmed colonists.
They felt squeamish about it because Gandhi made sure to get the news out about what was happening, every time. Suffering only gets you results if everyone knows the story.
Bannination, which seems like a site for fark trolls
BanniNation was formed as a response to Fark's then-newfound Stanford Prison Experiment-like moderation regime -- for example: shadowbanning posts, people, even whole threads for posting cleavage pictures, when TFA was about breasts. But far from BanninNation being a site for Fark anything, most bNers don't even bother visiting Fark anymore. It's just no fun.
His user name was RatFucker. RatFucker. Jesus Christ.
No, Jesus Christ is a different bNer.:)
One, the name is derived from existing terminology. Two, you just said it...twice. Should Slashdot now shadowban you? Third, since when is it valid to stop people from talking about what they want to talk about just because what they want to talk about is another site? Should Slashdot start shadowbanning posts and people for mentioning Ars Technica or Kuro5hin? Sorry, but that's just craven cowardice.
You've got to be kidding. Unless you dose up all these travelers with Ambien, many of them are going to sleep very poorly.
Sounds to me like you're just insufficiently sleep-deprived.
Hell, I can sleep not too badly aboard BART, and that's loud, crowded, and has P.A. announcements. As long as I have a seat, and remembered my earplugs, I'm pretty good to go. Give me a robocar even mildly optimized for sleeping and I am so there.
Shadowbanning is evil, chickenshit behavior. It makes you the bully -- tempting you further and further down the road of screwing over people you simply don't like.
Much better to do your troll-mitigation out in the open. Community-based moderation is the answer, as on Slashdot and the fine community linked from my name above.
Aha, gotcha! I knew someone would pedant all over me no matter how many "^W"s I put in there. You'll be happy (or possibly appalled) to know that I actually opened up a gvim window, pasted my text in there, and hit control-W, counting the presses till I got the desired result. First one kills "0", second kills ".", third kills "2", fourth kills "Web ".
Too bad Slashdot doesn't allow the <strike> tag, which I would prefer.
I don't know who the fascists are running your Target, but I routinely return things to the Target(s) near me with that reason, or even a simple "got the wrong one" or "it's the wrong color". Very rarely have I gotten anything resembling hassle from them.
You might want to go over the head of whoever's refusing.
I bet you could set up a hell of a generator using the temperature differential between the surface (~690 K) and the inky blackness of space (2.725 K).
You're forgetting the main option for these situations (meaning a service you want everyone to have, but which is not profitable enough to naturally come about): have the government provide it.
What is it like to be so sure you're better than everyone else that any information to the contrary is, and must be, propaganda? To place so much of your pride and/or self-worth in the ability of your country to make war?

I'm saying that shadowbanning is itself moderation abuse.
Also, Slashdot manages to keep the signal-to-noise ratio up just fine without resorting to that dirty trick.

Because before long, laziness sets in and it becomes really easy to start shadowbanning not only irredeemable trolls, but also:
For a study of where this gets you, see the sad saga of how Fark went from pretty cool to total crap.

You may now pelt me with taunts of "NERRRD!!".
Fixed that for you.
Shh...no one say anything about the oal-cay ired-fay eam-stay ains-tray.
I can't tell if you're being a smart-ass or you're Vietnamese. Just in case it's the former...

I wonder how long we should all be huddled up on a single ball of rock, waiting for another ball of rock to kill us all in one swell foop.
Eggs, singleton baskets, etc.
Rolling Stone magazine just had a big story about how Facebook was itself stolen in the first place.
More likely "It is pitch black, which is correct for a Stealth Bomber.".
This is a typical example of how the boogie-man of "government regulation"[1] helps the people.

Let's have a Soap Bubble. Maybe lots of them, with Lawrence Welk music.
Cool relative to what? The sun? ("So you see, Luke, what I've told you is true...from a certain point of view.")
It improves greatly if you implement caching.

Rule #34 of geekery: There are geeks for it. No exceptions.
$200 will buy you 2TB worth of DVDs -- and not even el cheapos: the good kind, Taiyo Yuden 16X, with inkjet printable surface and everything.
I always laugh anytime someone suggests that hard drives are the cheapest per-gig storage out there...

It must be a fearsome existence.
That line got tired 20 years ago, Mr. Reagan.
If you truly think government is a problem, how do you explain the happiness and success of so many European countries that have loads of government?
