Sure, it's propaganda, but you have to understand your enemy to defeat them. I'm not interested in this video or the man's opinions. But I strongly believe that the footage should be available so people can see just how horri

But we still make Nazi filmed footage from their concentration camps available. There's no other way to truly understand what happened unless you see it. Regardless of who filmed it.

You think you understand, but until you really see something or someone go from living and breath to abruptly dead, you don't. As for the 16 year old, it wasn't long ago that by 16 you'd have seen a few of your siblings and f

Yes actually I do think they're ridiculous for physical things too. I take a pretty libertarian lean on most things.

I don't see these two pieces of footage as functional different. They are documentation of terrorist attacks. If one is allowed, then yes, all should be.
966.
by huffmsa 8y ago
True. But it's functional no different than police bodycam footage. It is a documentation of the events as they unfolded. It does not have a message. It doesn't function as propaganda.

No, if you're going to be recruited by this, you're already fucked in the head. But showing this to your aunt who's wishy washy about gun control will probably disgust her into action.

But trolls are smart and don't share, they reupload. Which is still easy to catch if you hash the video. But doing something like mirroring or otherwise making a small tweak to the video breaks that hash lookup. Hence 20% making it thr

Death, dismemberment and destruction used to be a part of people's lives. They're not now and I think we don't value life as much because most of us don't know how abrupt and cold death actually is.

It's not gratuitous, it's real life. If you really really want the public to be upset enough about this to take action, they need to see just how horrifying it was. The video of the execution of Nguyễn Văn Lém in Vietnam was huge

Agreed. There's a difference between propaganda and documentation. Christchurch is grainy helmet cam. Not highly produced propaganda.

I think they should. Hiding reality from people does not do any good. Peta wouldn't release "inside the factory farm" footage if it was an effective way to galvanize an audience.

It's purged from the parts of internet the majority of people consider "the internet". But here's 65+ people vaporizing from 18 different angles. On YouTube. These are not different. They are footage of a terrorist att

I do mean the media platforms. That 757 video was played on repeat for weeks on all of the major channels in 2001. Hundreds of people turning into a fireball over and over. It made it real for us. By hiding the video from ChristChurch, peop

It still strikes me that it can be illegal to be in possession of a device which has a certain combination of positive and negative polarities embedded in it. Shakespeare's typing monkeys come to mind.

Fair. But it could be rolled with Electron for a desktop experience. I'm not a fan of not having access to a tool just because the internet is down.

The video of the 757s hitting the WTC isn't purged from the internet, why should this video be? The world is dark and full of terrors (but getting better every day), and sticking our heads in the sand doesn't change that.

Why the negs? They've got $20m in VC money. Time to get that user count strapped to a rocket. I'm having to keep an old Mac Mini around just to run Sketch. I'd gladly pay for a new Ubuntu license

That should be covered in the land zoning code. Land where you're allowed to build a 40 story building should be more valuable than one where you can only build single story. As well, the taxes on sales in the increased number of store

Taxation based on the value of the edifice is such a dumb idea it could only have come from the government. It does precisely what this article says, disincentives improvements, because "the government" is just going to take more

Someone is probably pulling all of the flight logs for the 737 MAX right now and is going to see how many other non-fatal cases of altitude issues after take have been reported.

by huffmsa 8y ago
Giving the infrequency of airplane crashes, it probably isn't coincidence. Very unlikely for a brand new plane to suffer issues with altitude shortly after take off. Even less likely for it to happen twice in a span of a few months. Ho

It makes it trivial to package, build, and configure your host machine as a VM exactly how is supposed to be setup. Drastically reduces the amount of "well this works great locally" BS. Then it's trivially fast to pull and ru

As well, contrary to what your debate 101 professor might have taught you, appealing to authority is not always a fallacy. If I had said "Mr Obama and Mr Holder think the border is dangerous" then sure. But what I said was that a
