I think the symbolic value is incredibly helpful to the cause of removing the flag. She looks like a badass in the photos (she is a badass; pole climbing isn’t easy), her arrest becomes a secondary gathering point online, her race brings the racial addict to the forefront again after it got lost... But more to the…

What does that accomplish, besides giving the other side ammunition and getting people who could be effecting change arrested? Get those racist and unjust laws off the books. Work towards that. The system sucks and there is absolutely no doubt about it, but sometimes you have to work within it to unravel it.

I have to agree, despite it being an unpopular opinion. Her sentiment is bang on but her method was lacking. Breaking the law, and I’m not arguing that it doesn’t need to change because it does, isn’t the way to achieve things. The cause has enough martyrs, I feel. I applaud her conviction and her bravery without…

Ladies and gentlemen......COWZILLA: eighth wonder of the world!

Yeah, I figured it out somehow and won it. I wonder if I’d be able to remember and do it today. I don’t remember having a ton of trouble with it. Actually the beginning flight part was the hardest for me for some reason.

I always thought fusing hydrogen into helium at the rate of four million tonnes a second was a super-gay thing to do. Now it’s confirmed.

This is the best Alien game ever made:

The only real immersion breaking moments in Isolation for me where the times the Alien would constantly pop in and out of the same shaft. OTHER THAN THAT? Best Alien game ever made and current top contender for what a new Alien movie should be like.

Best overheard conversation. "Of course God wants us to eat pigs, why else would he make them out of bacon!"

“...in the Old West, people used to have pig drives...”

• Introverts get exhausted by social interaction and need solitude to recharge.

Goddamnit Apple you’re doing it wrong.

Yes.

Here’s an ESA study for an ion-engine powered orbiter from 2004 - tl;dr, launch via Ariane 5, 18 months to Jupiter gravity assist, 15 years to Pluto (including engine firings at the beginning and end), and a 320-day spiral into a mapping orbit (similar to what Dawn did/is doing at Vesta and Ceres).

So, I know that New Horizons is going way too fast to stop and orbit Pluto or the Pluto-Charon system, but I’m curious: if today we were to launch a probe or some craft with the intent to orbit Pluto, how much slower than New Horizons would it have to go to be able to slip into an orbital pattern with an appropriate…

The nose hairs protruding from his nostrils make it perfectly clear he doesn’t give even a nano-fuck what anybody thinks. And in the future I aspire to do exactly the same at that point in my career!

In all of our short, fast, social communication we have lost context. I’m not necessarily referring to Hunt’s situation- but there are many shaming situations where people are assuming something based on a single sentence without understanding what was going on.

Title is misleading. I thought the whole point of this article was going to be that it’s not ok to shame. Apparently it’s ok to shame him into quitting, but not ok when it’s going the other way.

It’s the outrage spiral, and while Gizmodo is overall pretty balanced, Gawker is hardly innocent in perpetuating outrage.

The internet shame spiral is going to have to come up with a few drinks or some weed before I’d even consider it.
