By disrespect, you will never earn it!

Gaslighting may sound crazy at first, but you'll soon realize *everything* you've been told about bullying has been wrong and that most people really enable it!

You can spot predatory behaviour by someone acting initially like this:
1. Confident and inquisitive of you
2. Gives you their "war stories" about how disparaging and taking advantage of others is "fun"
3. The whole dazzle and charming phase (don't worry it won't last long)

Soon they'll turn around:
1. Abuse your trust and any information to turn it against you
2. Doing the same "fun" things to you!
3. Not respond to you as a person, exclusion and complain about you behind your back

In workplace there are some bullies that try to take down "slackers". If you use more energy to more visibly prove yourself to everyone, they'll go for easier prey. Depends more on actual workplace circumstances and supportive environment though. Can take concerted effort over several years to change bad workplace dynamics. You can threaten to complain to HR, but never ever go through with it!!

Support for your line of thinking:

Salon: Without honeybees, we may cease to be
The report concludes, “imidacloprid seems to be a substance particularly ’fit for the precautionary principle’.” It cites the chemicals’ ability to harm honeybees and wild bees at minute doses and its persistence in the soil for several years. Additionally, it notes that after Italy temporarily banned neonicotinoids in several crops, reports of high honeybee mortality decreased from 185 to two.

The line of thinking to keep doing harm without testing wether bans might work, for short term profit, is frankly both suicidal unscientific.
Doing harm in the name of profit is evil.

You Sir, Brilliant!

Except the bulk of news from Fukushima is backed up by independent expert Arnie Gundersen.

Arnie is an energy advisor with 39-years of nuclear power engineering experience. A former nuclear industry senior vice president, he earned his Bachelor's and Master's Degrees in nuclear engineering, holds a nuclear safety patent, and was a licensed reactor operator.

Of course if you believe the corporations, governments and their employees involved will tell you the whole story, you won't get much information information about all that has been leaked, and what the people of Fukushima REALLY thinks of their government, so will most probably dismiss the whole thing.

However, such blank dismissal is just cognitive dissonance, nothing else. But just stay with the blue pill, you probably won't be able to deal with conflicting information anyways.

Btw, NO, US is not checking imported foods from Japan for nuclear radiation. Hillary Clinton signed agreement on that AFTER the Fukushima disaster to ensure everything from Japan continues to be imported regardless of hazards. Look it up.

Japanese government changing the "safe health standards" just moments after disaster struck. Now includes absurd amounts of radiation 20-30 times more than previously, which were already 2-10 times more than most Western countries'. The change document is of course provided, also with a "safe" limit of "plutonium and other ALPHA emitters". Plutonium! The most toxic substance known to life!

Raising the exposure limits were allegedly done to increase safety for citizens, something you'd expect in a Hitchcock movie..

I'd like to respond to this, merely out of respect for such an opinion contrary to the /. mantra of: "getting high moderation means insightful or interesting posts". Long long ago, when I started /. I was fascinated by the moderation system. However, I also read posts by people complaining only finding the real gems at -1 or 0 (I do not have the time nor inclination for such tasks).

Now having posted with karma bonus, and getting moderated down, just for posting sincere videos and articles, I see what those people _10_ years ago meant.

I'm not saying I know everything. In fact, I'd LOVE to get a contrary opinion to my links, which do include independent nuclear scientists and medical experts, as well as ordinary people with children STILL IN Fukushima. However, when the "discussion" is promptly moderated down to 0 or sometimes -1 (they didn't have the nerve this time), then it just stops. No. Exchange. Of. Ideas. Anymore. Period.

See the videos. It's absolutely amazing: Japan is handling its nuclear crisis hundred times WORSE than Russians did Chernobyl. Something to think about while the media and politicians cheer on Japanese "efficiency".

My .sig also explains perfectly WHY /.ers have such problems with contrary opinions and free exchange of ideas. It's pretty sad really, thinking how highly intellectual they think of themselves. Myself, I do not have all the answers, but I know I have experienced enough to see that /. and mainstream do not have it either, and that you have to dig quite thoroughly in the unknown to find anything new. Yes, there's alot of mud and superstition, but there's gems also, and often, it's hard to know which is which.

I hate it when establishment-defenders mods a perfectly good post down (referring to moderators).

Exactly why I de-bookmarked /. years ago. Too many closed minded elitists who seek to mute those opinions that disagree with their own world-view. Good luck believing this latest propaganda-piece which is not based on any real measurements, but on theoretical models.

Can't be bothered reading facts of course. Feelings of cognitive dissonance with the establishment would hurt too much.

This is not even worth my time. Cowards.

Crisis in Fukushima and Japan is far from over. It's just begun. Expect to see "lost decades" due to all kinds of sicknesses due to radiation exposure. Please study the material below, also for your own knowledge and safety:

My magnetic cord in my former Macbook Pro was great, until the battery stopped working. Then it got REALLY annoying whenever the cord "jumped out".

No, I could not replace the battery. The heat-damage on the poor thing had twisted everything out of place already. The hardware was just too good to be true, and it was.

Now a happy owner of 18.2" Acer beast :)

You sure? Because I could've sworn security is nothing without taking into account unidentified security flaws.

Or else, you could argue the best security is blinding your eyes, screaming: "LALALALALALALA, no bugs heeere!"

This is why privileged account is so silly to be logged in to, something Windows Vista and 7 tries to fix using UAE. Unix has been superior in that department since day 0 using unprivileged accounts by default (ie. in the default Ubuntu-install). Even if there is a vulnerability, ie. in the Firefox UI or something similar, you're less likely to be seriously hit, by using an unprivileged account that doesn't automatically give exploits full root privileges.

Silly Microsoft. Yes, we blame them for every worm and trojan that exploit these silly security decisions.
However, security is a HARD problem, more of an ongoing process than something you can attach to any product.
Anyone serious about security, have to spend a lifetime studying and working for it.

If remote drone attacks, inherently less trustworthy than operating manually, is not hostile, then flying aircrafts into skyscrapers are not hostile either, rendering the entire Afghanistan war built on hypocricy, deceit and lies. Wait, that was Iraq and the lies about WMDs and Saddaim Hussein-Al Qaida connection wasn't it?

Why aren't these criminals caught and properly punished? What is wrong with you America?

This is hypocricy of the worst sort, even if "hostile" is per international treaty definitions, BECAUSE it's per the same definition of "hostile" in both circumstances!
