I never thought of it that way but it makes sense. My hearing is fine and I can pick out quiet sounds, far away sounds, high-pitched sounds, etc... But I always have trouble turning the sounds that comes out of people's mouths into wor

As far as I've ever known, Ontario and Quebec are central Canada.

Personally I suspect it was from earlier than that. I think you can trace it back to Nixon at least who fully severed the dollar from gold and thus removed the last bit of restraint that countries had against the US from inflating too much

I love the freedom and exchange of ideas on the Internet. The centipedes are now turning it into their very own echo chamber.

Yes, it is. I want to understand the excitement over this ruling and I want to understand the purpose of the zoning violation.

It does add to fears that people won't be able to rent out their places at those rates. Especially in Toronto where everyone's long-term plan is to own income properties. Everyone is looking to get out of careers and get rich on

I'm behind. What's the buzz about zoning violations here?

Ironically, as hard as it is for people to understand what those are, they are much simpler to produce than pencils.

You don't do agile. You are or aren't agile. Once you stick a process on it and everyone starts gaming that process you have the opposite of agile.

This is what it's devolved into: process. Middle management can now provide metrics to upper management.

it makes its money by selling stories and perspectives in the form of media narrative to its audience. That's less and less the case as their revenues are collapsing. Facebook being the gatekeeper is one of their ways of not being de

...and they have a long track record of hate and lies. So does every left-leaning outlet. See what I did there?

No one denies that there's "fake news" This is an attempt by the media to control the narrative by gatekeeping what's "real news" and what isn't: i.e. what they disagree with or citizen/independent jo

It sure does. We're all going to have to live it. It doesn't get more mandate-y than that.

Yet all the electors have to "vote" for the marginal winner. They aren't compelled to. One of the electors from WA says they won't vote if Clinton wins. It's pretty unprecedented, however.

One of Twitter's goals is to not make it look like they don't know what they're doing. They're still working on figuring out the rest of the goals.

Wikileaks can't appear to be unbiased to those who will perceive them as biased as a result of releasing info that may hurt Hillary Clinton. What would they have to do to appear unbiased but still be able to release information damagin

I've been there for a while. I only trust a few people who thanklessly go through materials and study issues in detail. If I want to verify further I can only then trust primary sources and direct evidence. For a long time now, all fo

These are completely different things. What's in those emails is FAR more damming than some foul-mouthed quips. Gross FCC violations, for one.

DNC collusion with the media is one that stands out to me. Also the acknowledgement that ISIS is funded in part by Saudi Arabia while the Clinton Foundation gets many donations from Saudi Arabia. If you have some time, scroll through the Wi

The attack was retaliation. The original attack was "you're a sexist if you don't like and watch our movie" Guilting people and sending out messaging like this is an attack on people's notion of self-determination a

orchestrating a long campaign of harassment It's actually possible for independent people to all hate the new Ghostbusters film. It doesn't require orchestration to have taste.

Oh I know this. It did go over most people's heads and many thought he was serious about his Clinton endorsement. He then "came out" for Trump.

by skylan_q 10y ago
Why would Twitter ban trump supporters and not all the other really vile people infesting twitter? Because they work for the Clintons and Saudi Arabia.

by skylan_q 10y ago
It wouldn't bother me as much if Twitter was small-fry. But in some cases they even see themselves as a public utility. Imagine not being allowed a bus ride because of your party affiliation!

In other words, "follow the money" to see what motivates Twitter to do what it's doing.

Perhaps you should unfollow those whose tweets you don't like. It isn't Twitter that is generating the content. Fully agreed and totally expected for people to do this. But Twitter is going so far as to ban people who haven&#x27
