  1. Re: Verification on Twitter Bans, Removes Verified Status of White Supremacists (thedailybeast.com) · · Score: 1

    Antifa isn't really a group though. Sure there are a few anarchists that show up to fight at rallies, but the right would have you think there are thousands or millions of them

    I have the S5 and it didn't have it - I installed LineageOS and that doesn't have it either so probably not a core component of Android

    Well that's always a risk, but at some point it gets a bit paranoid to worry about, especially that there's a large amount of monitoring code being inserted.

    Well I have a custom ROM on mine, so yes.

    Sounds like something specific to the carrier build rather than android. I don't have facebook on mine at all

    How do we know that? Can you point to the section of the source code that does it?

  8. I think the point you're missing is that the election was over a year ago. No one really cares about Clinton because she lost and has no authority. Trump on the other hand is the active president so if he's a pawn of a foreign country, it's a big deal.

  9. Re:CNN? on Jimmy Wales' WikiTribune is Already Biased (theoutline.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    Someone should tell Trump - he seems to think Clinton has an administration

    While that is very often the case, a lot of actual news does come from CNN, even if it's packed in with mindless commentary.

    That's not really the case here - this isn't about writing about a movie, this is about Nazis and white supremacists spreading hatred and propaganda. Nice strawman though

    They were originally pushing for it, but once they started to manufacture test tracks they realized it was somewhat impractical as it required the surface to be much smoother than they could make.

  15. That doesn't contradict what I posted...Are you saying someone didn't send her a question for the debate? Or that she DID give a great answer?

    Anyways, what news sources to you rate above them?

  18. There is a lot of evidence for that, but that was still the primary, not the general electoin

  19. Re:It's not "disinformation" on Google Uncovers Russia-Bought Ads On YouTube, Gmail and Other Platforms (reuters.com) · · Score: 0

    That's the thing - a lot of information circling around against Clinton wasn't true or was exaggerated beyond belief. They even had a popular theory that she was running a child sex ring out of a pizza place!

  20. You know that Clinton cheated, right? Got copies of the questions for the primary...all that jazz.

    That's a bit of a stretch - someone sent her A question for a primary debate and even with that, she didn't really give a great answer.

    So they posted stuff that was inaccurate at the time, and then retracted the claim? Sounds like the responsible thing to do after making a mistake. What news organizations do you trust more?

    The in-show ads were one of the reasons I stopped watching it. It was at the point that Bones would start spouting off Prius features and I could hit the "skip 30s" button and she would be just wrapping up about it.

    It's one thing to have a main character drive a car, it's quite another to have them discuss the top features for 30 seconds
