I called out some comment for being racist a little earlier (yeah I know, just report and move on...) and figured they'd managed to pwn my account somehow. Good

  Strictly speaking, just because there's an outage does not mean you're not pwn'ed.

    Maybe the outage happened because they used a 0-day to pwn smcl
    • fishnchips 3y ago
      Crazier things have happened.
  • smcl 3y ago
    In an "anything's possible" sense then yeah. But the fact that FB was not letting me login with the credentials I knew to be correct was directly attributed to a global outage, rather than a me-specific issue. Which I can now verify by checking the devices that are authorised to my account.

    Much better defense if someone accuses you of racism - you still have not shown that I am wrong.

      So you're saying you do own your racism. Well good for you, one of the brave racists -- now we know what kind of a person you really are. But it doesn't mean you're right, it just means your opinion is worthless and you're not worth debating because you're an intellectually dishonest bigot, even worse for believing in scientific racism. Edit: Your beloved scientific racism is not reality, it's a pseudoscience, as foolish and wrong as Astrology and Phrenology and Homeopathic Medicine. You're still a intellectually dishonest bigot. If you're so intellectually honest and sure of yourself, then why don't you state right now unequivocally for the record that you're an unrepentant racist bigot? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_racism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_racism Scientific racism, sometimes termed biological racism, is the pseudoscientific belief that the human species can be subdivided into biologically distinct taxa called "races", and that empirical evidence exists to support or justify racism (racial discrimination), racial inferiority, or racial superiority. Before the mid-20th century, scientific racism was accepted throughout the scientific community, but it is no longer considered scientific. The division of humankind into biologically separate groups, along with the assignment of particular physical and mental characteristics to these groups through constructing and applying corresponding explanatory models, is referred to as racialism, race realism, or race science by those who support these ideas. Modern scientific consensus rejects this view as being irreconcilable with modern genetic research. Scientific racism misapplies, misconstrues, or distorts anthropology (notably physical anthropology), craniometry, evolutionary biology, and other disciplines or pseudo-disciplines through proposing anthropological typologies to classify human populations into physically discrete human races, some of which might be asserted to be superior or inferior to others. Scientific racism was common during the period from the 1600s to the end of World War II, and was particularly prominent in European and American academic writings from the mid-19th century through the early-20th century. Since the second half of the 20th century, scientific racism has been discredited and criticized as obsolete, yet has persistently been used to support or validate racist world-views based upon belief in the existence and significance of racial categories and a hierarchy of superior and inferior races.

        If the opinion is based on facts that are true but inconvenient - the intellectual dishonesty is dismissing them. >reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled
