Lightning Knight posted:Presumably as time goes on, management of your online persona will become a more commonly understood and learned skill, and famous people will be better about deleting dumb poo poo, and hiring managers to do it for them. You're assuming the ever-shifting role of the internet will ever be mastered and people still won't make mistakes, still won't take internet security seriously enough and still won't half-assedly do shady poo poo or make bad comments anyway on the side. This is the internet's one good trait, making people, no matter how high or powerful, stupid enough to release their worst ideas and beliefs. What's changing is that the generation of olds who only believe the TV are dying out to the people who care about what's said on the internet.

Serrath posted:The VP debate generally doesn't matter. Every election, it feels like it does and it makes the news for a couple of days but is almost always forgotten, even when it's memorable (e.g., Palin v Biden). I cannot see a set of circumstances where people will switch their vote from Clinton to Trump or vice versa depending on the results of the VP debate. Completely about entertainment value.

Everyone was worried when she apologized but you have to remember that the kinds of people who would take the "racist deplorable" label and pin it to themselves as a badge of honor also think that everything she says is a lie. She managed pull back so that the sane republicans consider themselves "one of the good ones" while the dipshits keep dipshitting.

Night10194 posted:Or like they're actually afraid they'll get hurt. Or they know who signs their cheques. Trump supporters seem like the type to start mass letter writing campaigns, facebook stalking, and general harassment against a news agency that employs an offending journalist enough that a risk-adverse company would reconsider keeping that journalist employed. I'm not convinced that journalists are fearful of their own safety as much as they're fearful of a conservative boycott of their parent company taking place. Conservative viewers are an enormous and lucrative market. Insulting them surely has some economic impact to your bottom line.

smg77 posted:Like Boehner even answers his phone these days. He lives in a deprivation tank filled with merlot. See, I picture Boehner home late at night with his wife, cuddled together on the couch with glasses of wine. The're watching Minions because they have one of their grand kids for the weekend who has a can of Mt. Dew his parents said he isn't suppose to have and a punch bowl of popcorn. After the kid goes to sleep on the couch Boehner and the Mrs sneak off to bed and proceed to make very passionate love. It's the best sex the two of them ever had without Viagra. After their third simultaneous orgasm they start to fall asleep, cuddling each other. John's last though before he falls asleep is of Paul, just sitting in his office on the verge of tears and staring at the wall. John just gives a little "heh"

Mr Interweb posted:One of the many weird things about Trump's (and Republicans') criticism about Hillary, whom he called "trigger-happy" for apparently wanting to go into Iraq and Libya, and saying that she's also weak. He says that he would be "stronger" than her, but wouldn't have invaded those countries. How does that work? In the same speech he said he'd "blow [Iranian ships] out of the water" if they tried the provocation they did last week. He's like a kid who thinks he'll ace a standardized test by filling in every bubble.

Look how easy it is to totally kow them because truth and actual reporting isn't as important as access and ratings All the really scary poo poo about the Trumpenproles has come from regular old assholes who are in way more danger than anybody in the press pen would be.

Night10194 posted:Agreed. They need to stop pretending to get the vapors and do their goddamn jobs. Oh I agree (and so did the journalist who gave that quote) I just got tired of people saying that there is some sort of coordinated nefarious plot in newsrooms to push Trump higher and Hillary lower to drive ratings. The reality is a lot more depressing, with it being just a bunch of people desperately hoping that someone else is brave or dumb enough to be the first to speak up and take the punch to the face.

So what do you do when the court doesn't rule in your favor? Change up a few words when you update your voter education!quote:Ramos ordered Texas to educate voters about "the opportunity for voters who do not possess SB 14 ID and cannot reasonably obtain it to cast a regular ballot.”
