Commented in The Mutated Virus Is a Ticking Time Bomb
ZEYNEP TUFEKCI is a contributing writer at The Atlantic and an associate professor at the University of North Carolina. She studies the interaction between digital technology, artificial intelligence, and society.
well it’s a good thing the author is screaming blue murder about something completely out of their area of expertise because lawd nose we have not have had enough of alarmist sensationalism from the Atlantic this year

Commented in New psychology research finds meat eaters tend to have better mental health than vegetarians
your brain is mostly fat
if you're not replenishing enough meat protein-based fats from meat your body is not be able to replenish brain tissue as well without basic chemical materials it has evolved to use to replenish that tissue
morality and ethics aside that's a biological fact
that fact doesn't void or absolve any of the moral issues with industrialized mass murder of cows, pigs and chickens but it is a fact

Commented in US says man can bring back 'skin, skull, teeth and claws' of hunted Tanzania lion
Hunted? With a rifle with a range of 1.5 miles and a round capable of penetrating an engine block. It's just bloody murder.

Commented in Russian intel planted fake report that Seth Rich was killed by assassins working for Clinton
I feel so sorry for this man's parents. Their son's death has been turned into some sort of political thing, instead of keeping the focus on him (the victim). All too often I see this in the news: someone is killed, and then it's all about the perps instead of about the victim. In this case it's even worse because fake info is being spread.
I wish there was some guidelines that reports about a death have to cover an equal amount to the victim and their life as to anything else in the article. e.g. if reporters write a certain amount of words relating to the possible perps of a murder, then they have to devote at least that amount to the victim.

Commented in London police’s face recognition system gets it wrong 81% of the time
Assuming they're using this tech to avoid bloody murder and not to track down the guy riding his bicycle too fast (for example) or the gypo who stole a few chickens (allegedly at the top of Interpol's wanted list before Al Q grabbed the limelight), I still think it's better to check a persons credentials and be wrong some of the time than to have had an opportunity to catch a terrorist and missed it for fear of having a complaint filed. However, they need to have a think about how they go about apprehending people when there's a chance of error.

Commented in The British Royals Have Always Been Scum
I assume the article is referring to monarchies adapting themselves to suit public sentiment and thereby remaining popular. The most recent example thereof is the "House of Windsor" changing its name from Battenberg to Mountbatten to Windsor as anti-German sentiment gripped Britain throughout the 20th Century. Anyway, as far as murder, torture, rape, and plunder are concerned, the whole world was at it until the end of the 19th Century and had been since the beginning of history.

Commented in Donald Trump Is An Accessory To Jamal Khashoggi's Murder
I find this whole outrage about Khashoggi very curious. Saudi Arabia is a state trapped in the 12-th century, where honor killings, beheadings, crucifixions, and all sorts of extremely brutal things happen on a daily basis without anyone batting an eye. How come this particular murder is special? If people really cared about the US supporting brutal torture and murder perpetrated by SA they would have done something a very long time ago.
I’m not a fan of Trump at all. But this is definitely not about Trump. This is about the US bending over to the house of Saud for generations because money money money money.

Commented in Pittsburgh shooting: Multiple casualties at Squirrel Hill synagogue
This POS's actions of hate and murder follow Trump chaos and speak much louder than words. Prosecute him to the full extent of the law.

Commented in The FBI of the National Park Service
This was a fascinating read, both about the Investigative Services Branch and the Henthorn murder. Thanks for sharing!

Commented in 60 students without vaccines kept out of school in Fargo, West...
If families opt out of immunizations, students must provide the proper exemption paperwork. Exemptions are allowed for medical reasons and because of philosophical, moral or religious beliefs.
So, it’s ok to murder other people’s children as long as you have a good philosophical, moral, or religious reason. Nice.

Commented in Trump: Nike sends 'terrible message' with Kap ad
So far, we have white nationalism and racism. Every god damn thing isn't about race.
"Protest" because the protesters only do it when the camera is on them. Where are they when they are off the clock?? Certainly not protesting the mass murder every weekend in Chicago.
This particular fool isn't courageous. People who go into burning buildings are courageous. People who move to the sound of gunfire are courageous. He's at best a backup quarterback whose chosen form of 'protest' has made him unemployable. But you and I would be unemployable as well if we made our employers look bad for on-the-job actions. But I guess we can say it's a "different kind of courage", and water that down as far as 'racist', 'white nationalist', and 'nazi'.

Commented in NASCAR driver Conor Daly loses sponsorship over N word his father said 30 years ago
Oh dear. An Indiana sportscaster was retired. As if that weren’t enough to make you impatient with the world, a racer-turned-sportscaster lost his TV deal. Gird your loins, though, it couldn’t end there. Pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly and Company only sponsored two of three planned cars at the NASCAR Xfinity Series Race at Road America this year. So straightaway you know there’s something rotten in Denmark.
What’s the goddamn problem? They’re free, white, and 21, right? They’ve been deprived of their birthright. If I follow the alt-right crowd’s simmering fauxtrage correctly, this is clearly because of something that, surprisingly enough, they can only explain in terms of their bafflement.
Correlated with these stark tragedies, crimes against the natural order of things really, is the tell-tale odor of racism. Well, that sure explains what rustled the Magas’ jimmies in all this. I say ‘correlated with’ as opposed to ‘caused by’ because that’s what makes any sense. Try it yourself. Like solving a maze in reverse, start with how brutally oppressed rich white men are in settler-colonial America and see if you can find your way back to why these guys aren’t getting the kind of checks they’d prefer. Talk about your cultures of victimization.
Of course it all goes back to an immigrant. You know how those people are. Some filthy, drunken Mick came over here and the story almost writes itself, right? Being white, though, technically, it’s not his fault he ran his Paddy mouth where he shouldn’t’ve. It’d’ve been one thing if it’d only been routine use of everyday phrases like “the only nigger in the wood pile.” Who here hasn’t said that at least once this week? It was probably when telling stories about it on-air that better judgment should’ve come into play. I mean, it sounds like he’s a real nice guy and all, even if there’re more racist skinheads in his character recommendation than are perhaps normal. If that’s where he’d stuck the gin bottle back in his enchanted, emerald mouth that’d’ve been the end of it. But guys talk, word gets around, you hear things.
Here’s a little context one may not’ve known if you’re new to being an American. Turns out there’ve been racist pricks here for some time. It’s not the novelty it is today in Chief Justice Roberts’ post-racial Jim Crow America. One of the more insidious chapters in the American history of racist secret societies is the Know-Nothings. I’m going from memory here, but I think this was the Silver Age of the KKK, where it was more about multi-level marketing and moving the merch than the usual terrorism, brutality and murder. Sure, the hoods and the lamé robes were a big part of it, and the murder naturally, but their big thing was denying what they were. If anyone ever called bullshit on them, they’d claim “I don’t know nuffin.’” Kinda how they got to be called Know-Nothings.
Know-Nothings have come a long way since those early days. The president is a Know-Nothing. So was his father Fred, presumably once he’d washed the stink of his family’s immigration status off. If you’re landing on American shores for the first time, you can be forgiven for not immediately understanding why Derek Daly’s ridiculous claim that he didn’t know ‘nigger’ meant nigger didn’t magically restore his birthright as, technically, white, the stupid bog-jumping cat-lick.

Commented in Russian trolls 'spreading discord' over vaccine safety online
FTA:
It turns out that many anti-vaccine tweets come from accounts whose provenance is unclear. These might be bots, human users or ‘cyborgs’ – hacked accounts that are sometimes taken over by bots.... our findings suggest that a significant portion of the online discourse about vaccines may be generated by malicious actors with a range of hidden agendas.
The thing about McCarthyist horseshit like this rubbish is that it doesn't age well. Once people've worked out the people being demonized aren't actually fourteen feet tall boogeymen, with meat hooks for hands, hiding under your bed waiting to murder you, the cheesiness becomes embarrassingly obvious.

Commented in California: man driving wife to hospital to give birth arrested by Ice agents
Have you got a reference for that?
Here but it is alleged by ICE but no-one can confirm it:
Amayo disputes that Arrona-Lara is wanted in Mexico. He said he searched for warrants in that country and nothing came up.

Commented in California: man driving wife to hospital to give birth arrested by Ice agents
He was wanted in Mexico for murder. That didn't get a lot of play because it didn't fit the narrative.

Commented in GOP congressional candidate tells Parkland father to stop 'exploiting' his daughter's death
What? You expected morality and decency from a politician? Not only a politician, but a Florida GOP candidate?
Murder victims exist only to make political points of course, what else?

Commented in Novichok nerve agent strikes two new victims in the UK
The term Novichok actually represents a collection of nerve agents developed by the Soviet Union
To be easily manufactured in the field from commonly-available agricultural pesticides.
as you might know USSR was de facto understood to be Russia
Really?. I think I heard something about that, but then I'm that old.
Of course, Novichok was actually made and stored in what is now Uzbekistan. All stocks were destroyed under the supervision of the U.S. and the U.K. after the end of the Cold War.
Baseball was invented in New York. Does that mean the Cubs are from New York?
former Russian spy was a victim of the last novichok attack in UK
So your theory is that after holding him in prison for several years, Russia waited for a spy swap, so they could infiltrate the U.K. in order to then be able to murder him, because they never, ever wanted another spy swap, but somehow bafflingly did want to commit various acts of war. Hmm. Not buying that.
two connecting facts
No, that's argumentum ad ignorantiam.

Commented in Why is it so hard to charge motorists with murdering cyclists?
Well, at this point accidental "murder" is generally considered manslaughter and not homicide. Unless as a society we fix the way roads are built, and cars are governed internally (hopefully soon) we will continue to have these sort of idiotic accidents. I mean, why are cops rarely charged with murder when shooting and killing innocent people in situations that should have been easily deescalated? It's just one of the many problems out there that need a complex solution.

Commented in Trump's warning to Kim Jong-un: make a deal or suffer same fate as Gaddafi
Oh yeah, and they stole all his cash and gold too. It was a murder/robbery job.

Commented in Homophobic, religious and race hate crimes on public transport are soaring
Story checks out.
I could tell you some stories.
Depends on what they're saying, right?
Not at all. Random praise make me think you want something. I have a pretty good handle on my vices and virtues, so random criticism is just noise and isn't going to hurt my fee fees.
Can't go along with this nonsense. Don't be shy about it. That's exactly what you're doing. In the exact terms you're doing it. You've reduced hate crime like the murder of Matthew Sheperd to how unfair it is being held to account for expressing your 'patriotism' on the train ride home. Don't back away from that now.
I'm not being clear. Or are you being obtuse?
Nobody said you'd committed violence. Does that disappoint you?
Actually, the special kid who accused me of a microagression did. He actually reported me to some stupid student council for my two word reply, and I had to appear to "justify my actions". That was actually kind of fun, I read them the text of the first amendment.
Quick doesn't have to mean dirty.
It does when your opponent is 9 inches taller, has about a foot of reach, outweighs you by 40 pounds and has intent to harm. The quicker you finish, the fewer licks you're gonna take.
And you're going to make that decision based on a serious misunderstanding of what hate crime is. Got it.
Hardly, it would be more of a forlorn hope. In self defense or defense of a loved one.

Commented in Homophobic, religious and race hate crimes on public transport are soaring
random street violence was never a worry. It was far more personal
Random praise from a stranger is as personally meaningless as random criticism.
Depends on what they're saying, right?
I am in no way belittling any sort of actual violence toward anyone, for any reason.
Can't go along with this nonsense. Don't be shy about it. That's exactly what you're doing. In the exact terms you're doing it. You've reduced hate crime like the murder of Matthew Sheperd to how unfair it is being held to account for expressing your 'patriotism' on the train ride home. Don't back away from that now.
My words, even if they bring offense or you disagree with them, being called "violence" is likely to cause me to point and laugh.
Nobody said you'd committed violence. Does that disappoint you?
when it was time to go, go quick and dirty
Quick doesn't have to mean dirty.
I have one fight left in me
And you're going to make that decision based on a serious misunderstanding of what hate crime is. Got it.

Commented in Chelsea Manning on Her Alt-Right Partying: I Was a Spy, Not a Racist-This is what is planning on running for U.S. senate
No she was not "charged" with treason by the United States.
Fair enough. Then again, you were never "charged" with killing that prostitute in Pasadena either.
She downloaded personal information on American soldiers involved in the Iraq conflict.
All I know about it is that now apparenly people are talking about how you raped and murdered those hookers in SoCal.
I understand her intentions with exposing the "collateral murder" video, butdoing so she put those soldiers and their families lives at risk
With all these allegations about how you hunted countless street people for sport out West, even though you were never "charged" with your crimes, I just wonder what drove you to it. Is that the standard we're using now? Saying it over and over again makes it so?
Leaking documents that can potentially harm the United States is treason.
Whatever you say. I'm not overly worried that someone on the internet is wrong. To my mind, though, you don't get what treason is. Sometimes the decent thing, the patriotic thing is to oppose your government's policy. Not simply to question, but to act. Consequences schmonshiquences. Consequences she endures, by the way.
In Vietnam by 1968, American policy was to "kill anything that moves." Arriving at the scene of one such "search and destroy" mission, one helicopter crew commanded by Hugh Thompson intervened to protect, by force, surviving Vietnamese civilians from advancing American troops. You might call that treason. If you'll forgive my saying so, that's pretty fucked up.
Was Smedley Butler a traitor? Dan Ellsburg? Ed Snowden? At what point is this facile interpretation of 'treason' simply feckless authority worship?
she put those soldiers and their families lives at risk
More so than the liars that put them there? This is selective understanding. With all the pearl clutching about Manning, have you had time to pay attention to what, for instance, "signature strike" is a euphemism for?
agendas
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
The fact is that those soldiers were ordered to do what they did.
And..?
I consider someone who pretends to have your interests in mind while working against you, to be a snake.
I'm losing the thread here. Help me out, are you saying Chelsea Manning is a reptillian Taliban agent?
Her actions were reckless and poorly executed.
That's funny. I might've said the same thing about the crimes, corruption, and murderous policies she exposed.
These are not good traits of what I would like to see in a senator.
Your loss. Watch out, though. Wouldn't wanna pull something punching down while kissing up like that.

Commented in Chelsea Manning on Her Alt-Right Partying: I Was a Spy, Not a Racist-This is what is planning on running for U.S. senate
She actually did leak hundreds of thousands of classified documents. No she was not "charged" with treason by the United States. Leaking documents that can potentially harm the United States is treason. She downloaded personal information on American soldiers involved in the Iraq conflict. I understand her intentions with exposing the "collateral murder" video,butdoing so she put those soldiers and their families lives at risk. I do not agree with rich men with agendas ordering American soldiers to fight their wars and kill on command. The fact is that those soldiers were ordered to do what they did. While you are waiting for me to explain how she is a liar, I am fairly confident this entire article is about her infiltrating Cassandra Fairbanks and her circle of associates. Chelsea Manning states herself that she was acting as a double agent. I consider someone who pretends to have your interests in mind while working against you, to be a snake. Her actions were reckless and poorly executed. These are not good traits of what I would like to see in a senator.

Commented in The Hidden Dogs of Dog Cloning
This is stupid. Tons of dogs are being euthanized because nobody will adopt them, and these people are spending a ton of money and killing a lot of dogs to clone one dog. It’s a double murder.
