He's in a well known punk rock band and a bartender, but maybe professional film critic could be added to that list.
I think I might know him too. I guess there could be more than one punk rock musician slash bartender slash film buff. That would be pretty funny if we were thinking of the same guy.
For one thing, your implied proposal would wipe out almost all of the study of history. I do have opinions on the Battle of Cannae
First, it's not my proposal. Second, I doubt that you're the guy people should turn to when trying to get information on the Battle of Cannae.
You need to loosen up, David. I want you to have opinions on the Battle of Cannae. I'm not trying to stifle your opinion. It's good and proper that you should have an opinion. But you should not expect Gaius Terentius Varro to give you a call to get advice on whether or not to attack Hannibal.
These are some great weasel words: "for whatever reason".
The reason is that a certain segment of male 4chan trolls are mad because the main character in the movie doesn't have a penis. And if it's one thing that 4chan troll can't get enough of, it's penis.
Did you know that when you set up a new Android phone, you can use your dick on the fingerprint reader and then you'll have to whip out your dick every time you want to use your phone?
Don't ask me how I know that, but let me just say that HR was not amused.
The headline could have been, "What happens when police make mistakes?"
The answer is, lives are ruined, people die, and criminals get away. Now what happens when police are the bad guys? Maybe we should focus less on the technology and more on the fact that police will use technology against us. Inevitably.
There was a football player who asked this question once and lost his entire career over it. Our national habit of putting police on a pedestal has given us a militarized police force who believes it is above the law.
The enterprising teenager said he transformed an old playroom in his parents' house into a nuclear laboratory with $10,000 (£7,700) worth of equipment that uses 50,000 volts of electricity to heat deuterium gas and fuse the nuclei to release energy.
Also, he said he built a time machine in his garage based on a 1976 Toyota Corolla. The only problem was he couldn't get it up to 88 mph.
Really PopeCrapso? You shouldn't use google in your research because it's "free game for advertisers"?
Unless you don't mind being targeted by advertisers for your research topic, that's correct. You shouldn't use google. Use a search engine that does not collect or sell your information. Some options are DuckDuckGo, WolframAlpha, Yippy and Ixquick.
Certainly. It wouldn't be my first choice but you could reach out to Neo-nazi, history buff, or holocaust survivor on FB. It is a communications platform. I already gave other possibilities. Not everything in the course of research is a reference and nobody should be afraid to apply critical assessment to less reputable sources and glean information from them.
I think before we argue any further, my friend, we should remember what this entire article is about. People who searched for Nazi and neo-Nazi topics had their interests collected and shared with advertisers just like every other Facebook user. They were not singled out. They were not punished or censored in any way.
An this, ultimately, is why you don't want to do research into controversial subjects on Facebook. Because what you do , and what you say, is free game for advertisers. There should be no complaint when somebody searches for, "the best neo-Nazi punk rock albums" on Facebook and then gets an advertisement from the neo-Nazi equivalent of Hot Topic. That's Facebook's business model after all.
I've seen such a facebook group in action. Images of old family letters and post cards, photos, newspaper clippings, souvenirs, etc providing more info on a historical topic than a local historical society book.
So, like anyone else on Facebook, their interests are being noted and sold off to advertisers. So what exactly is the problem here? Should fans of Nazi memorabilia be protected from being targeted by advertisers when everyone else isn't?
He could have just said "Agreed. But not everyone who looks for this information is a nazi or klan member. It is also sought out by any looking for information on the topic"
Do people generally do historical research on Facebook now? Has something changed over there that suddenly made them a reliable reference?
Searching for "topics such as "Joseph Goebbels," "Josef Mengele," "Heinrich Himmler,"...and Benito Mussolini's long-defunct National Fascist Party." has to do with WW2 history.
Who generally searches for ""Joseph Goebbels," "Josef Mengele," "Heinrich Himmler,"...and Benito Mussolini's long-defunct National Fascist Party." " on Facebook?
If you were interested in "WW2 history" would you be searching Facebook for those terms? Is Facebook now some repository of WW2 history?
I wouldn't think the technique of a lightsabre, if such things existed, would be anything like fencing. I'm thinking something more along the lines of the Chinese jian or longsword.

Can you imagine a world where you had to actually have some first-hand knowledge of something before you could express an opinion?
Me neither.

I wonder if any of those pages will contain information about the crimes the state of Israel has perpetrated against Palestinians.

Oh, fuck right off. You politically correct liberals make me want to puke.
Or, it will be poisoned, if their intelligence was really genetically enhanced.
I've had two girls make me a bologna sandwich. I was the bologna.
Thought experiment: If you have girls with genetically-enhanced intelligence, will the Slashdot MRAs still expect them to go make a sandwich?

"Independent historians"? You're referring to holocaust deniers now, aren't you?
Are you really asking me why you should't do historical research on the mid-20th century on Facebook?
When DID you spend "a lot of time researching these subjects"?
Do people generally do historical research on Facebook now? Has something changed over there that suddenly made them a reliable reference?

Maybe you didn't get a look at the summary. What does neo-Nazi music have to do with "WW2 history"?
