    Why would I want to "constructively criticize" someone that is actually being a dishonest fuck?

    Never attribute to malice what may be attributable to ignorance

    We should not be tolerant of these fucks that destructively rush to get their guesses in while making sure never to reveal that they are fucking guessing.

    Guessing seems to work pretty good for Science. It's given us all these cool things to do and play with. Granted some people are more educated than others *cough*

    You want people to help this fuck when the effect he has on discussions is to actively try to ruin them?

    Discussions are ruined when negative people run into the 'room' making accusations and calling people names while loudly declaring their evident superiority for having the intelligence to rush in and tell everyone how stupid they are.

    Society and all it's benefits is *built* upon by kind helpful cooperation. Your destructive attitude builds nothing but animosity.

    Big tip:
    People that know less than asshole experts will be hired before an asshole expert is ever considered. People that know less are also more inclined to be in a position and willing to learn. I am not saying you're an asshole, but I hope this has helped you too. :)

    Neither Comcast nor Charter has been buying Time Warner MEDIA, which has been a completely separate corporate entity from Time Warner CABLE since 2009.

    You are Correct. However I never mentioned anything about Time Warner Media. Since they don't provide a service within the context of this discussion I mentally blocked the media branch from my mind and may have neglected to mention the distinction assuming everyone else would ignore them also.

    The correct way to provide constructive criticism:

    Make a statement to the contrary, provide supporting evidence. eg:

    You are incorrect as to who bought whom. Comcast bought Time-Warner

    Name calling is not constructive and suggests the name caller may be lacking in maturity, or blood sugar.

    The main problem I see with this is the bank accounts.

    Or the Time and PITA that would be to do.

    It's also illegal to make micro-deposits with the aim to undermine the 10k limit. Like that's going to stop anyone from doing it.

    Your mental visual is entertaining. It's not like you describe it but does indeed happen that I am looked askance as I described.

    My worry is that the activities mentioned in OPs post will serve to magnify this effect into something that has more of a detrimental impact on individuals innocent of wrong-doing other than being born male.

    As another sonewhat related example, women are parading through city streets with nothing but tape on their nipples and being applauded as heros, while a man that helped land a probe on a comet is required to apologize for his shirt.

    Increase in sea level due to changes of the sea floor itself would be a full academic paper on its own.

    It would certainly be an interesting read.

    Drilling rigs displace only the legs below the surface as they are typically rigidly mounted to the sea-floor.

    I know of a few examples where this is not true. Most famously the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. But I agree that the quantity of these rigs is probably negligible.

    It's hard to describe. I consider myself fairly normal, I wear professional casual attire most of the time with Sandals on my feet and I have a well trimmed goatee and a buzz-cutt. No tats, ear-rings or strange attire. I don't even smoke.

    The glares I get are of the disgust with my presence why don't you die variety to such a degree I refuse to go anywhere near Portland if I don't have to anymore.

    I *may* be over-sensitive being aware of the animosity towards males in some liberal environments but it's really just getting so depressing that I typically stay at home as much as I can and go out only when absolutely required.

    I *half entertain* the idea that Russia might invade the US successfully and reset all this madness.

    That's some pretty impressive figures there. Did you include oil tankers, super-sized passenger liners, buoys ( I know ) drilling rigs and of course erosion / sediment build up from the rivers dumping into the ocean?

    There's not only the volcano's under the surface of the ocean, but there's also the land mass being added to the ocean from the volcanos above ground too. Hawaii is the first example that comes to mind. Also the sand that's blown off of Africa and Australia just for starters.
