This was so much more rich, detailed, and fantastic of a read than I initially expected it to be. I assumed it would just be a short-ish blog post on the style of the movie but it really goes into detail on so many aspects from the behind-t

That's not actually a bad idea at all. What however if you're just doing simple variables manipulations in those 10 lines and not calling methods (I realize that you can override the math methods as well)? Is there a way to handle

This might be a shot in the dark but does anyone know how to test error handling in Rails? Say for example you have a method that has a begin block with 10 lines of code in it and a rescue that does some logging or does a puts statement. Ho

You edited your comment to change what you said. You originally did not say that she had a 'hand in approving'. Why would you change it to make it seem like you were talking about something else that you didn't originally say

The only comments you're leaving on my comments are calling me out and attacking me... I've cited multiple things in this post and each time they seem to be ignored or blown off.

The second paragraph wholly refers to Snowden as referenced in the first sentence of it.

You seem to be arguing incredibly uncharitably. I simply said the military planned it and based on the article I posted, I am 100% accurate. It doesn't take away from the military planning that the CIA also had a hand in planning it. I

Where is it preached in western society that the inherent value of men is zero? Men can raise children too and last I heard it usually takes a man to help create that child also.

The military explicitly played a critical role in planning, leading, and executing this. From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Osama_bin_Laden#Opera... U.S. Naval Special Warfare Development Group (DEVGRU) and a

I never said that I questioned that in the slightest. Not sure where you get that at all. I did however basically say that she did not send the team to get him. That's what a President signs off on and military leaders plan.

There are multiple posters doing this throughout this post. Finding some way to discredit any evidence after they've asked for evidence and then were presented with it.

by hnmonkey 8y ago
Do you have evidence of this from a credible source? If so, I think it would be a hell of a scoop.

No, that's not at all what that person was doing. They acknowledged the war crimes and then also said he's a criminal that should be dealt with. It would've been whataboutism if he had said that the war crimes don't ma

You've now said 2 totally different things are medieval. I responded to the other one so I won't respond to this one's new definition.

Very interesting. Because she was in the room that meant she sent the team to kill Bin Laden? By your logic and the parent poster's logic ~13 people aside from the President and the laptops and coffee cups were also just as responsible

Ahh, so you're just going to ignore the evidence when presented after you asked for it and attack the people who said it to the country. Got it.

by hnmonkey 8y ago
Medieval? It's what every country has been doing forever. Every spy agency on earth does this and has done this since their inception. It's practically their MO. So... you do live in that world.

I'm not going to bother responding to you anymore. You're definitely twisting my words into something you'd like to attack.

There's literal proof throughout this post. In fact, I posted some too. There are definitely levels of threats to American democracy. If DWS refers to Wasserman-Schultz then it pales in comparison to an enemy foreign state's milit

Good question. I don't. But it's much more unlikely that he'd be an actual Russian intelligence employee since they're usually Russian I think. The more simple answer is that he's just being run by them through mone

I believe it because there's a lot of evidence of this including literally in this post and in my other comments.

Huh? I said I wasn't defending the dirty laundry and that there's definitely some illegal stuff in there that should be prosecuted. The fact that he won't be able to air any government's dirty laundry is for the better.

I agree with you somewhat. It seems that he initially wanted to buck the system and expose secrets for the purpose of exposing secrets and anarchy. It's possible this was a fantastic cover and he's always worked at someone'

Asset. Spies work directly for Russian military intelligence. Assets are the ones they control.

While some of the things that were exposed were certainly illegal and should be handled as such, it's hard to feel any empathy for a guy who is essentially a Russian asset. If you think of him as an extension of Russian military intell

Sorry! I really misinterpreted what you meant to say and think we're actually probably of the same mind on all this. Take care.

Ahhhhhhhhh. Yes I suppose that is a possible take on what they said. It didn't seem at all clear to me that this was the case from my reading of it. keyle, if this is your message I'm totally sorry about my interpretation.
