As far as I can tell, there really wasn't a cover-up.

Come on man, take your head out of the sand. There are recovered tweets and emails showing that Learner directly targeted the groups, there's even a possible link that Dick Durbin was involved as well. And of course we can't miss the part where she targeted a senator either.

Well considering the still-on-going corruption at the IRS where they targeted groups that "didn't fit the political narrative." I'd hazard that to be a yes, after all there's something like 25-30 people now who all worked on it, around it, and have "had their emails mysteriously disappear." The most recent case was another group of 5 employees emails who just suddenly had theirs disappear as well. So, at this point I wouldn't even be surprised.

People already know about the corruption at the BLS, people have seen it with the EPA. Do you really think there aren't people who'd be willing to engage in it from the CIA. Hell I'm not even american, but canadian and I can see this stuff from across the border clear as day.

"Medical tights" or the type that are used by bypass patients after they remove an artery from your leg are the best option. My doctor gave me a prescription for it--it's not covered unless you've had surgery for it, but in other cases you can be referred to a specialist who can properly point you in the right direction. Seriously, this is stuff you should talk with your doctor over, as it's one of those things that can do you more harm than good.

Essentially, the company refuses to ban subreddits for being âoemorally badâ but will if they break any laws or any of the websiteâ(TM)s own rules.

Bullshit. Take a look at the number of subreddits that were launched on the first day when the zoe quinn and then was followed up by the mass topic deletions in gaming subreddits, which was then followed up by corruption in gaming subreddits. And you'll see that half a dozen to a dozen subreddits were outright banned because ... well no one knows. Admins simply banned them, there was no doxxing, there was no harassment in them. They were discussing the issues at hand...and bomf...deleted.

Comment Re:The biggest risk to the pyramids is Islam (Score 3, Informative) 246

Oh you want precise data? Like large support across muslim countries, where terrorism is supported. 20% of muslims support the 7/7 bombings 1:4 muslims in the UK say the bombings were justified 31% of muslims in turkey support suicide bombings against westerners 32% of palestinians support the murder of jews, including children. 55% of muslims support hezbollah 26% of young muslims in america believe suicide attacks are justified 26% of egyptian muslims believe that suicide attacks are justified

You're now enlightened to this "tiny minority." Which is roughly 25% having extremist views, out of 1.6 billion that would be a "mere" 400,000,000 individuals. You know, I could keep going and posting, so again--there is something fundamentally broken with islam and muslims. And I haven't even gotten to the stuff on specific groups, which vary between 6% as a low to 51% support across muslims. Or the 50-75% that believing that killing apostates is a good idea. I guess none of that is large swaths.

The bigots are awake early this morning.

Gotcha. You have no coherent argument against my statement, so you resort to the old standby in an attempt to squash dissenting views. Calling people a "bigot or racist." Sorry, that doesn't fly, time to look outside of your protective bubble. Even CNN is questioning the narrative that "there isn't something wrong with islam," they're saying something is wrong with it. Might have something to do with people like adam chaudhry going off and saying apostates should be killed live on TV, or things like this. Hey would you look at that? It's those "moderate muslims" slaughtering yazidi's because isis rolled into town.

Suggesting that normal Egyptian Muslims are calling for the destruction of the pyramids is extremely dishonest; It's a bit like linking to a Westboro Baptist protest and claiming "American Christians are calling for the repression of homosexuals".

Let's look at the region shall we? Ah forget it, let's look at normal muslims in general. You've got large swaths of sunni's in europe supporting groups like isis. You've got a wide swath across other countries like the uae, saudi arabia and kuwait, including the ultra rich in countries like kuwait and the uae sending money to them. You've got people from all over this rock flocking to support them, and their actions, and their goals.

It's not dishonest, there's something fundamentally broken with many muslims when they're lining up to support a 7th century mentality.

Come now anon, don't know that all gamers are misogynists, and the feminists who support this line of thinking believe that all men should be killed. I wish I was kidding on both points, but the "gaming media" and their 8+ articles containing 35-45% verbatim material say otherwise, along with the social justice warrior crowd that are attacking, doxxing, and threatening anyone who doesn't fall in step with their bigoted view point.

Considering that Russia today is not the same country that it was even back in 2008, and definitely not the same that it was last century, I'm not sure this is still a problem.

Really? So you're saying that a government leader, bent on flexing his muscle by invading other sovereign countries, rigging a vote, and threatening the rest of europe with no NG isn't a problem? And to toss it in, you do realize that the vote that most recently happened was based on less than 30% of the actual voting population right.

When I was an apprentice, the difference from the handheld tool was which cartridge you plugged in. At the end of the day we settled on a laptop which used Snap-on's proprietary software since it could be auto-updated by dialing into a local number.

Right. And what about the ones with the same religion fighting against the IS? How about the majority of the people around the world with the same religion that say IS doesn't represent them nor their religion? Etc...

And how about the ones that say it is? How about the large swaths in the middle east that say that does represent their religion. Come on, there was polling done not more than a few days ago showing that a vast majority in saudi arabia for example supported them. The government does not, various people do.

How about the imam's that say: "Islam is the religion of beheadings." - Hussein bin Mahmoud or the Wahhabi Cleric stating the proper way to behead someone, telling his followers that you should enjoy doing it. Seriously, I could go on all freaking day finding these religious leaders from the middle east, to Europe to those right home in North America proclaiming the same thing.

Interestingly enough, Google will also request 2-step verification if you have a mobile number up and you're logging in from another part of the world. A few months back someone tried to log into this gmail account; it was blocked automatically. They then tried to reset the password and I got a sms challenge on my cell. It's also smart enough to know that if you've been one place before, it's likely you as well. I regularly head to the far northern part of Canada, very few ISP's and broadband. The first couple of times it gave a sms challenge, the last two times I've been out it hasn't.
