So it's not ok to be racist, but it is ok to mock autism? | |

I'm not autistic. I have borderline personality disorder. I might even have schizophrenia. I'm seeing a counsellor next week. | |

Not a bad thing for a change. One of my biggest fears was that Trump, who is often enamoured by cruelty, would let the war mongers run amok. But he might be too unstable. It sure sounded like he called off a strike on Iran in the last second. There are leaks that he doesn't want to get involved with anything involving SA because it's too much of a hassle. So... it could be worse. | |

I remember it like it was yesterday. It was my second day of work at Penn State. On the morning news I heard a plane had hit the WTC and I thought 'wtf who flies a plane into a building?' It sounded like an accident. By the time I got to work the second plane had hit and then it was all 'holy shit'. | |

Yeah, how to do you ask and answer your own question? I don't get that. I think his lawyer told him to say 'it's been asked and answered' and he just mangled it. | |

You know I'm as critical of Trump as anyone, but there was clearly a circle on that map showing Alabama was going to get hit, and I think it is very immature of the MSM to not issue a correction and apologize. | |

It very much looks like Biden is not going to be among the front runners in 2020, if he doesn't drop out completely. I think he's still popular among democrats who haven't followed the debates. He has to be doing pretty poorly among voters who have heard him speak in the last couple of years. | |

Interesting that the head of DNI agreed to testify before congress. I wonder if they might actually have a good reason for not turning over the transcript, as in "it will just encourage other shady characters to call the president, and we don't want that" or some such. | |

Have you guys noticed how it is impossible to respond to Trump fans without getting banned from twitter? | |

No. I'd have to use Twitter to notice that. | |

It would seem that the problem is they add value to people's lives and reached ubiquity before laying on the cost (mining our data and jamming ads in our faces.) Now, arguably, a large part of the value they provide is alleviating our fears of missing out, since everyone else is signed up. It's similar to smoking's bait and switch: at first you get a little buzz and it's novel, but nicotine cravings slowly raise your resting anxiety level to the point that the relaxing effects (returning you from the artificially high anxiety levels to your more natural baseline) is the reward. | |

I like that they went: oh you want transcripts of these calls? Well, we think it would be more appropriate if we had someone who listened to these calls give his vague recollection! it's as if they're using Watergate as a blueprint for how to handle this... And how amazing is it that there's a secret server! | |

I think the other scandals are objectively just as bad, it's just that they were far more complicated, built on thinner evidence and therefore far easier to obfuscate. They all paint a picture of a president who thinks the rules don't apply to him, and who will flagrantly act in accordance. | |

I've pretty much abandoned Twitter, and Facebook. I still have accounts but fb I only use to keep in touch with distant family, and Twitter might occasionally get used as a source of information, like maybe something is going on and I want to try and find news links by sifting through the 95% of posts relating to the event made by virtue signallers. | |

The idea that they sell my information is kind of laughable to me. I mean, I use ad block, and even where I'm exposed to ads, I literally never buy products by clicking on ads. My information is worth a grand total of fuck all, so if someone is willing to pay Twitter for it, more fool them. And if people are so fucking weak that when they see a flashing image of something they like, they buy it, well more fool them too. | |

This is all pretty funny. 95% of people posting on twitter in response to a disaster are "virtue signallers". Let me ask, is it possible for someone to do a good deed without it having an ulterior motive? | |

You mean does it save lives? No. But it might be nice for people to think some twat on the other side of the world is sympathizing with their troubles, yes. So it could be a morale boost for them I guess. I don't think there's anything wrong with it, the way you seem to. | |

Ong, you've displayed a simplistic understanding of the ways in which your data can be used, and so I don't imagine you're particularly well suited to assess the value of your data. | |

Poop, I can't believe your role as Ong's nemesis is so ingrained that you feel compelled to take the pro "thoughts and prayers" stance. | |

I'm not defending "thoughts and prayers" as an excuse for not having gun control though. Sometimes you have to look at the sentiment behind the words and not just the words themselves. | |

I think it's closer to the truth to just say I'm a unique case. My income is next to fuck all, I spend my money almost exclusively on food, tobacco and weed. I simply do not consume anywhere near as much as the average person. | |

I think it is a problem. It spams the Twitter feed, making it harder to find actual information. What purpose does it serve? Do you really think someone in a disaster zone reads a comment from the other side of the world and thinks "oh how nice, someone I've never met and who doesn't even speak my language has empathy for my shitty situation, I feel so much better about having lost my family."? | |

I mean I don't do it myself because I think it's pointless. But I can see something thinking 'oh those poor people, i can't afford to send them money I'll try to do the next best thing and send them some Jebus.' So while I agree it's retarded, I don't think it's necessarily virtue signalling. Some people actually believe praying will help. | |

I think he meant if there's no impeachment, 2020 election runs its course, a D wins, then Trump gets the book thrown at him, that D #46 won't be pulllng out the pardon paddle. | |
