The other half of the quote you provided is that they are spending money to "fix" a problem that may not have existed.
Alas them blocking what they believe to be consistent may be pron today, but your political party tomorrow. Save me the slippery slope argument bullshit by reading about what broadcast media and companies like Facebook do.
Content creators are already financially rewarded. Plenty of artists make a good living on Youtube. Not all, and not a majority, but not all content/art is equal.
Perhaps you are attempting to claim that the lady who made the 20 minute "art" program shoving Spaghettios up herself is worth as much as the person managing services, selling products, building hardware, etc? Society disagrees with you, as does every economic model and civilization since we have recorded history.
This is not a hard game to play. Education is as as simple as a goddamn web search and attempt to read. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Sharia deals with many topics, including crime, politics, marriage contracts, trade regulations, religious prescriptions, and economics, as well as personal matters such as sexual intercourse, hygiene, diet, prayer, everyday etiquette and fasting. Adherence to sharia has served as one of the distinguishing characteristics of the Muslim faith historically.[5] In its strictest definition, sharia is considered in Islam as the infallible law of God.[6][not in citation given]
It is ILLEGAL under SHARIA to be Gay! It is ILLEGAL under SHARIA to ignore Muslim religious requirements. You can be Christian but you better face East and Pray when they do, or you are a criminal.
Saudi Arabia lives under Sharia Law, which is why you can not freely travel to that country and do so at your own risk by US Law. Show us how peaceful the Religion is by paying a visit and publicly announcing you are a gay. Even better, go publicly announce your Jewish faith and read some Torah in the public square. You are a feckless lying twat who would do no such thing because you know you would be beheaded by those "peaceful" Muslims following their Sharia Law.
I have facts to back my statements, not bullshit. Where are your facts exactly? Oh yeah, those things are bad.
I just proved your statements false, and further repeated attempts at lying are going to be ignored. Not because you are Anonymous, but because you are a liar attempting to hide behind anonymity.
Here is the poll I mentioned. Not that a lying liar like you would read any such inconvenient facts but the bystander may.
Feckless and dishonest, quote the resume you sport.
My Drivers Ed teacher thir*cough* years ago had a story, I don't know if it was true but it was funny. A kid he was teaching was told to put on the cruise control during the freeway portion. He did, and took his hands off the wheel. He thought Cruise Control was an auto-pilot.
He ended up passing, but they stopped having people use cruise control.
The rhetoric sounds good but simply has no basis in reality. 30% of the Muslim population average across the globe wants Sharia law to be the rule of their Government. If you believe the statistic 1.5 Billion Muslims that is 500 million people that want you dead if you are not a Muslim (go read up on what Sharia law is). 50% believe that anyone leaving the Muslim faith should get the death penalty. More than half say that it's okay for a guy to hit his wife (as long as she deserved it), and that the death penalty is fine for adultery. Adultery almost always applies to women since a woman's testimony is worth 1/4th a mans, so if a woman gets raped it's her own fault and she should be killed for it.
Sorry that facts don't back the common rhetoric, but if we can't admit what's real we can't begin to contemplate a solution.
The post I responded to, at the time I responded, was rated +5 insightful. The post states makes a comparison stating that Trump is worth less than feces. That is an ad hominem, and empty shilling. I'm glad to see the post moderation has been corrected as of now.
I did not debate for or against either candidate, I pointed out a shill and appear to be correct. You have a mental health issue if you believe the person I responded to had a rational argument, or if you read more than me pointing out the bs moderation.
I won't generally debate politics here, because quite frankly the crowd is mostly anti-intellectual. I'll occasionally attempt to direct people to rational discussion but won't usually debate. Out of the 2 political posts I looked at today, sock puppets are modding up insults about Trump and anything pro-Hillary. I can find a few oddballs, but generally way down in the threads so already hidden by volume.
Sure, modding often changes. However when you see massive swings hitting brainless posts the shill effect is very obvious.
I have read stories about thousands of people who win the lottery and I would not call them elite either. "Elite" is a set of people holding lots of power. Money is just one form of power, but there are many more forms of power. Elites also use that power to scratch each others backs. It's a "click", or a "club". Hillary is a member of the club, Sanders was not. Pence is not, Paul is not, and I think you will see the point and be able to spot the trend.
Trump is interesting though, because he was a card carrying member of that club for a long time. I still like the conspiracy theory that he is on the R ballot and winning only to ensure Hillary gets elected. He is known to be a brilliant showman, and in this case it would have to be a brilliant performance. Give away the punchline and I can see members of the club losing their heads in the square.
Way to prove that shills exist. And guess what? The guy who has the same baseless ad hominem in the other direction is just as wrong as you are, and unfortunately just as likely to receive positive moderation while you get moderated down.
You come from a cesspool obviously, but you should really try to keep the rancid feces at home and wash before you leave the house.
This actually happened: someone where I used to work saw me carrying an OpenOffice manual and said, "What are you, a Communist? Around here we use Microsoft Office!"
And how exactly did you respond to the fascist? "How does that Chocolate Mussolini taste?"
Your post is hidden and receives a lower rating because you are hiding in anonymity. You are allowed to do that, but you do not get favoritism in moderation because of it. User accounts subject to Karma DO get favoritism in that regard, _IF_ they maintain high enough Karma to have the bonus and decide to keep it on.
Nobody hides your post you turd! Good grief, anyone can browse at -1 and see even your drivel. The moderation guidelines used to recommend that you do browse at -1 (I'm not going to look, you are the one whining so you can check). This is so that people who moderate can fix shilling/sock-puppetry/malicious moderation.
As a person who has been here using a login account for a very very long time I will happily tell you that there are moderation problems. You have no fucking clue what they are, or at least didn't present a single one here, but they exist. People and companies with multiple accounts who cheat to gain mod points for example is a valid complaint. You whining in all these posts about how abused you are as you hide in the anonymous basement is not.
Want good higher ranking posts at the time you submit? Use a named account, and don't post whiny rants. Don't want a name account, STFU.
Many older boards use flat tip screws, and I have some plastic extension plugs which have a flat tip locking mechanism. In addition to that, a flat tip works as a lever (sorry, but the CPU bar does not always work on old aluminum paste), sticky memory thumb tabs, holding wires out of the way, and even as a handy guide.
And maybe _you_ want to mess with variable capacitors with your fingers, I'll use the flat tip thanks.
The answer is for a service like Facebook not to censor at all. One is supposed to be 18 or over to use the service, and controls should exist so that people can self censor. Who cares what a terrorist group says if you didn't sign up to read it? Even if they paid to spam, their opinions don't bug me at all. I'm very confident in my own opinions, ask anyone that knows me. Actions cause harm, words do not.
Of course FB decided to censor to suite their master's agenda. So in this case they could in my opinion be held liable. I'm going to question whether or not the suit should be one sided though, as I know a bit about the worlds largest prison and believe that Palestine has some grounds for lawsuits and damages themselves. The UN has had several findings against Israel, so who's court are we going to allow to rule exactly? I am skeptical that Israel would allow non-friendly courts to preside over the case.
Nintendo is rolling this out to scale, and scaling as they go. We used to call this smart and profitable tactics in business. Your instant gratification does not matter to a company that goes out of business spending money they don't have on resources.
Stop pretending you are smarter than everyone else and have great ESP. If you had great ESP you would not be posting on Slashdot. Or perhaps you would, but it would be smarter.
You expect the same people who can't perform a basic Google search to know how to have knowledge of a screwdriver? Good grief, I need both a Standard and Phillips screwdriver. Needle nosed pliers, and even a flashlight. Don't even get me started on to sniff, or not sniff the aluminum paste...
That is way too much work for the average person. Why not build my own refrigerator you insensitive clod!?!
was intended as snark, just in case it's not obvious enough..
I did not discount that pr0n was an attack surface, I said that the majority of businesses are hit at surfaces other than pr0n. I don't work only in email, I work at the infrastructure layer so get the joy of seeing it all.
Pain medication may also induces paranoia. There was no "sly underhanded comment" at all, it was a very detailed response with a factually verifiable view of the world outside of your personal anecdote.
As a person who has had a full shoulder reconstruction (18 Mitek anchors collar bone, shoulder blade, ball joint), 3 knee surgeries (ACL and Kneecap once, MCL and meniscus twice), and 4 damaged disks (L1-4) I speak from experience in that category too. The Army was fun, but may also cause permanent injury.
I have been working in IT security for nearly 3 decades. Work for a mail hosting company or support large mail infrastructure if you want to find people infected by mail. I have, do, and can tell you that most business PCs are infected through email and attachments. For home PCs, you are right that most comes from malicious sites often hosting video. There is another very small set of hosts who get attacked quite differently. These are targeted service attacks generally masked by a massive DDOS. They are specific, crafted, and staffed with experts at exploiting systems.
You not having clients infected by means other than pr0n is purely due to a very shallow pool of clients.
2nd ammendment is a train that has long left the station.
Nope, while there are surely some restrictions most law abiding citizens can own a gun in most States. Exceptions are not the rule.
our little pee shooters are no match for the goverment's toys.
200 million people with small arms can put up a hell of a fight. You are also omitting the fact that if there is a civil military action mandating killing citizens, a good number of military people would jump ship and join militias with their government toy. Also, and at least as important: You don't have to kill everyone currently holding power to have a successful revolt. My guess is about 2 dozen is all it would take. Your point is often provided as a Strawman argument against keeping the 2nd amendment. Hence my desire to knock it down.
what we have can't even stop the mafia (they still exist, right?).
Another straw man, I wont bother knocking that one down and should not need to.
a well regulated militia was meant to protect the people against a rogue government, which, sadly is EXACTLY what we have now.
but over time, we reduced our own rights to own 'serious' armor and so our ability to keep balance of power is now zero.
The point of the 2nd amendment was to protect the people from ITS OWN government. Exactly what it presently does and exactly why the Government has been chipping slowly away at rights and dumb'ing down the populace. You did not really think Carter started the Department of Education because he wanted the people smart did you? And don't even get me started on immigration.
There are hundreds and hundreds of writings by the founders on why Guns are essential. The Federalist papers are the easiest, but there are letters and memoirs from every one from Adams to Washington on guns being essential for _personal_ liberty. (See that, it's not militia as in a trained army as evil people will attempt to claim. It is personal liberty.)
I wish we could keep the government honest. if they feared us, they'd respect us.
they don't, its too late, and that's that. revolution time. in the US v2.0, maybe we'll learn our lesson (oh, WHO am I kidding, sigh);(
First part, sorry but we can't change human nature. Second part, such is the cyclical nature of humans, civilizations, and societies. Let us hope it's over quick and comes out with another couple hundred years of progress. Unfortunately my hope does not match history at all.
How many of the people impacted by the dump are Black? How much redaction was done to protect the innocent?
Yeah, I hope Karma comes knocking.
I do find it interesting that many of the same people claiming the police are corrupt want to take away the 2nd amendment. The same people claiming certain groups need protection are fine to oppress other groups. The same groups yelling "listen to me" also attempt to prevent opinions they disagree with.
Karma - cares about right and wrong, not about personal hypocrisy.
Not necessarily directed at you, but if the shoe fits give it a good sniff.
Politics does have some impact, but not a tremendous amount in this case. The bigger question is: If a Brit gets paid a fair wage, would they work. Yeah, they would. Their bank would take the currency and convert it for them in almost all cases so that they could use their native currency.
The Globalists took a bit hit and are not happy. Of course the media outlets they own are trying to scare people in hopes of a fascist takeover to negate the vote. Hell, the day the votes were cast they started petitioning for another referendum trying to negate the first vote. That was the point in the claim that people were so ignorant and stupid that they had to Google search after the vote. I already spotted quite a few shill posts in this thread preaching that message.
Does cyber security get worse because people will be paid with Pounds instead of Euros? Nope, not at all. If the currency mattered we would never have an exchange. This is just more Globalist fear mongering. It's the easiest way to try and bend the public to their will, and has had huge success in the last 20 years or so.
