I do not understand why Kinja doesn't, say, deletes the IP adress after 3 hours, to ensure the safety of hypothetical tipsters (and other weird people who might post weird stuff that is not violent porn but do not want to be tracked) while providing a non-tracking feedback tool, such as a simple e-mail form?

tell me how not

Oh? Please. You are stating: If X helps you, there might be n number of theories, but the fact that X helps you (subjectively) is what is important. This is not true.

No straw-manning here. I am not saying gluten intolerance does not exist. I am not saying gluten-free diet may not help with certain diseases. I am only pointing out that you are making a false claim.

Ha, no. Science is about understanding the results. Otherwise, you just show that input A invokes output B without actually understanding what happens, why it happens, and if an unseen output C or even input D happened.

I will not call you a sexist prick, but I will point out how ridiculously wrong you are. Thankfully FIFA released numbers on how many people watched the last women's World Cup on TV.

Yeah, but that happens all the time. When a player needs extended care but can play on, he is taken off the field to be treated by the physio. This includes injuries such as cuts in the face (think Schweinsteiger).

Sure. Oh while we are at it, let's have them use their hand as well. Oh, and maybe they should be allowed to tackle. Oh, and why do we need goals, what about just having an end zone? Oh, I got it: Didn't they call it "Rugby" in the early days?

Note that it's the team doctor who takes the decision. Sure, that will work.

How is Vlog still a word? I thought that died with MySpace.

After having heavy acne as a teenager, and getting rid of it with some medication, I occasionally still have some of those m-fuckers somewhere on my body. Last summer I had one behind my ear that pressed against the sensible parts up there. Fuck, that was awful. First time in years I went to a doctor. After a week of…

TYPO ALERT!!!

This video from a Swiss assurance ad perfectly shows the merits of drones at weddings. Cheers!

The American system is pretty good to work out the middle ground over time. That is what will happen in the next 10 years ago. A populist party could work right now (and in a lot of senses it already does), but I believe will inevitebly lose to blue dog democrats again. (Remember http://xkcd.com/1127/large/ ?)

oh I know. France has a weird multi party system with something comparable to open primaries and run-off electikns. Same effect, but the big parties cut deals with the small ones and allow some of their candidates to be elected. However, the effect is the same - you either vote left or right. In the end, the American…

Think about it as a weird form of judgment that is not that just.

Just think about the weird shit that will go on when you buy that house. Random tourists hanging around in front. Random people asking to get in. Forget it. Make an amusement park out of it and get all the money.

You got primaries, though. In most European countries, there are two big parties and then some small ones, that most often enter into random coalitions between a big and a small one (think Merkel's christian democrats and the liberals until the last election, or the various French Majorité presidentielle's). So…

True. Some Swiss polsci nerds developped a tool called smartvote that allows to visually compare politicians. Here is Barack Obama's Smartspider:

Bet the only thing you can do with it is having a JJ museum.
