Momentary sidebar: the Bellingcat Podcast, narrated by our very own Brown Moses, just released its third episode about the downing of MH17. It’s really well produced and nicely done- I’ve been following his/their work for years, and it’s nice to see this put down as a narrative piece.

Started listening to this because of your post. This (the podcast, not the described event and obfuscation) is great, thanks for the recommendation!

In the navy that’s perfectly normal.

I'm tired of this stereotype. Not everyone in the Navy is married to an Air Force Officer dropout.

can we talk about how much I loving hate self labelled liberals that marry people with abhorrent racist views but they "don't talk politics at home" so they brag about how they voted for hillary while their dogshit husband jumps at the chance to join ICE to carry out his fuhrer's views on racial purity on the southern border

It's really hard to talk to a potential partner about political views because of our innate sense of rejection, so people don't until they're already codependent, then avoid it because of fights. And most peoples understanding of their own political views is context less and feeling based, so good luck communicating about it, having meaningful discourse, and still being attracted to another person.

That means when conversations happen, they are biased towards agreement which slowly shifts the partners views towards one another. Then, as the topic is avoided but other influences persist they drift back or at least away from acceptance.

Don't worry. Healthcare and abortion will be more important than this in two weeks, then we'll get back to immigration.

The porn on tumblr was apparently worth $1.097 billion.

With this value set, I was looking for a GB of porn on tumblr stat for valuation purposes, but no dice.

Really, it's not porn itself, it's a complete market loss to Insta, which they were gambling to try and unseat with no competitive advantage. IG has the data and the algorithm. They happen to also have owned the under 18 demographic. Yahoo made the choice to follow the IG lead in the third category, with no potential to take a lead in the first two. But then again, Yahoo bought their swing at a twentieth of what Facebook paid for IG, so maybe they thought there was room in the market for a modest competitor. Hindsight shows they were wrong.

Also: Libertarians are just GOP with Pot.

This isn't really accurate. Libertarians are sometimes GOP with pot (especially recently). Sometimes they're anarcho capitalists, anarcho communists, collectivist, minarchists, and every level of moderation between all of those extremes. It's still a completely disparate party whose members who pick up and abandon darlings with regularity.

After doing a google news search for 'chinese taiwan collision', I have confirmed that reporters overuse the phrase 'collision course'.

It was the flippant response to a claim that a user received direction to kill himself. Which was blown out of proportion, but certainly wasnt polite.

I'd like to read a thread that actually explains and justifies people's points of view on the subject, but not badly enough to make that thread.

It still gets shitup sometimes, but there's at least something resembling civility in there.

Thanks. I tried looking for cops and only found references to cartoons.

So we’re going to just dance around this topic and pretend it doesn’t exist forever because it makes some people mad right? Seems legit

Of course not, nobody posts forever.

Someone can probably work with McNally (through PMs) to make a very specific thread with specific guidelines of discussion that would eventually closed when the participants veer wildly off topic on page two because there's clearly a lack of willingness to participate in a discussion appropriately. But I think he might even be past permitting that.

It's not like the solution to any problems are supposed to be found by informed consensus on this internet comedy forum.
