It's not quite nothing--he did retweet it to give it some attention--but I thought it was iffy myself, and I am certainly no fan of Assange. I keep him on one of my Twitter lists just because his delusions amuse me (and because he sometimes posts something interesting). When something this unusual pops up, it's best to look into it a bit further.

... why did you feel the need to interject this non-sequitur?

The other AC reply to my comment is a perfect demonstration of why.

He loved it because he was making his dad happy. Kids love their dads. But the dads are supposed to know better.

Impossible Mission FTW.

He is teaching his kid skills which have some but limited value in actual life.

Not to mention that they end up talking about ethics in game journalism and "SJWs" and then you have to drown them.

I find out they are simply watching Youtube videos of funny British guys narrating their games.

And harassing women on Twitter, which appears to have become the current primary activity of people who grew up in this millennium playing video games. Because ethics.

Dad Makes His Kid...

It sounds like another overbearing parent trying to relive his youth through his kid.

I know parents who are trying to force their kids to listen to the music they listened to, or play the sports they played, or go into the professional field they failed at. There's one kid who got pushed into pee-wee hockey at a very young age and ended up hating the sport (and his father, a little bit).

What is so hard about understanding that your children are actually individual human beings and not clones of you? Please don't experiment on your kids. And they're smarter than you think and are capable of exercising a little agency regarding what does and does not interest them.

Site down, random shuffle, site comes back.

Seriously. If only Sony's Playstation Network was as robust.

If you actually read TFA, you'd see that it also indicates that Bush had little to no knowledge of the specifics of the interrogations or their brutality

Yeah, he didn't really strike me as the curious type. But Cheney claims to have known every single detail. I guess he gets off on that stuff.

and in 2006, upon his learning of it, it was ramped down.

"Say fellas? You think we can ramp down the shoving of pureed food up prisoners' asses a little bit? The screaming is starting to keep Laura awake at night and somebody keeps stealing the mashed peas out of the White House fridge. Now watch this drive"

Wait a minute. They forced pureed food into detainees butts, in one case causing severe tearing and prolapse.

But hey, this Anonymous Coward says that's not brutality so we can all go back to our regularly scheduled programming.

To be fair, the AC has pureed food forced into his butt for fun, so he can't really relate.

Brutal is having your skinned peeled off in one inch strips, electrodes to the privates, hammer to the toes, peeling your finger nails off, propane torches, pliers and nipples, etc. THAT'S brutal.

Pfff. That's not brutal. Brutal is having your head ripped off by a Bengal tiger with ebola while being lifted into the air on a studded 2x4 stuck up your ass, while Linkin Park is being played at 160 decibels. Before you've had your morning coffee.

Now THAT'S brutal.

These guys just didn't have a good time is all.

We talking about the CIA interrogators? It sounded like they had a blast.

Oh, sorry. I completely missed the molestation murder joke there.

You're right. I say, dress the bankers up in short pants and sailor suits and drop them in a room full of Jimmy Saviles.

You want a certification for a good career? Certified HVAC Technician.

So the banker molestation murder cults get away with their crimes. Not sure if a good or bad thing.

I bet if you had some quiet reflection and thought carefully about it, you could figure out whether or not child molestation & murder is a good or bad thing.

Unless you are somewhere down the sociopathy spectrum, in which case you might not.

Remember, you only need cameras covering where the "little passages" enter and exit. You don't need 100% coverage to cover 100% the people.
