The myriad problems of holding up George W. Bush as an ideal leader aside...

Hmm, Interesting...

Because their explicit motive was to either damage the reputation of the awards, or to hijack it to fit their own political agenda. The implicit motive, demonstrable from what has been seen on their slates in the past, is to bouy up sales for Beale’s publishing house by giving it undue attention (undue meaning “these…

I’m laughing on the outside because this guy seems like a hilarious class act. On the inside, I’m kind of devastated that an award so prestigious and respected in the genre fiction community has been wrecked by these alt-right peepants crybabies.

Yeah, to be fair I also have this problem with that solution. People like Gaiman didn’t ask to be associated with the Puppies, and he has no love for Vox Day. Putting an asterix next to his work unduly influences his chances when he did nothing wrong. I want to penalize people who actually write slates and abuse the…

I would not go that far but I would put an asterix on all of the current puppy nominations. Call out why they were put there and that many are not supported by the committee. Or put vote totals and show which got listed below “no award”.

I know it's the last day and people are ready for the Games to be over but how did that spectator Eliud security and get that close?!

Mylan said its prices have “changed over time to better reflect important product features and the value the product provides,” and that “we’ve made a significant investment to support the device over the past years.”

This is what YOU typed at 7:28pm. The inference is that if you act like a repub, you ARE a repub.

The proximity to a wifi source is nothing in comparison to the EM radiation you are getting from outer space every single second of the day. I know you want your own facts, but you don’t get them no matter how much you insult me.

You know that BPA email supposedly from Johns Hopkins was a fake, right?

I wonder what brings someone to those kinds of conclusions. What has happened in their lives that leads them to believe these sorts of things? It reminds me of conspiracy theorists who waste their time on made up stories while ignoring all the other messed up things in the world.

You’re a gem for dealing with this. Also, very smart. I’ve learned from your posts here. Thanks!

Apparently not. Sigh.

I wonder if people like that understand that the planet is bombarded with far worse stuff every single day.

Now I’m trying to reconcile in my head a person who is a fan of both Jill Stein and Forbes...

Like I said, if it worries you, spend all of your time in a faraday cage. Because otherwise, it’s still just a radio signal and no different from all the other radio signals that are going through you this very second. The only way to avoid it is, like I said, a faraday cage. Otherwise it doesn’t really matter what…

Because it’s not totally possible. You’re acting like there are questions here. This is not an area of unknowns. We know how wi-fi works. We know how the radiation it emits works. We know that it has no health effects on the human body. This is all stuff that has been known for literally decades. You might as well say…

No, I just understand how radiation works. It has nothing to do with politics and everything to do with science. If wi-fi signals were dangerous, we’d already see the effects with radio and TV signals, which are basically the same thing.

If you think non-ionizing radiation is harmful to you, stay in a dark faraday cage at all times and you might have hope. Otherwise, wi-fi is no different from all the radio and TV signals that go through you every moment of the day and have since we started broadcasting radio over a century a go.
