If you had to provide security to protests where the crowd yelled “fuck Murry Chang, fry him like bacon” you might develop a persecution complex. The core of your argument rests on ignoring the incessant animosity directed at cops (some of which is justified and some of it is not) over the past two years. Its stupid…

In the last 6 months, the commetariate here has taken on an almost Jezebel-esque monoline opinion set. There are A LOT of different ways to view this Kaepernick thing, but only a tiny, tiny set are allowed here. You only made it out of the greys because somebody replied to you, otherwise you would have been cast away.…

You’re absolutely adorable. “I’m not a trauma surgeon....survive head wounds caused by gunshots” —> this is the stupidest comeback you could have possibly mustered. Jesus Christ.

Its hilarious that fusion.net publishes an article about false equivalency (which was built on a completely false/circular logical structure) and suddenly everyone is an ‘expert’ in false equivalency.

“I find it to be so infuriating when people get stuck on the first page of the book....and never get to the other 300 pages of the book” —> That means that, by definition, the first page of the book needs to be rewritten. That is the entire point here; Kaepernick is trying to draw attention to a cause, but he did it…

I’m genuinely not trying to lecture him or deny him agency b/c of his background and social status; more power to him. Kaepernick is a really good example of why the whole concept of ‘privilege’ generally is bankrupt, but that is a conversation for another day.

Nah, Harbaugh is doing a bad job articulating what a lot of people find uncomfortable about Kaepernick’s sudden political wokeness: It comes off as incredibly disingenuous and “oh oh oh, ME TOO! I WANT TO PROTEST TOO!”

Another important element here comes from the “you’re not stuck in traffic; you are traffic” school of human interactions: pause to think for a second and ponder if there is something that somebody else could tell you that would change your mind.

Is this an ongoing series, like The Sopranos, GoT or True Blood? Or is this more of a ‘closed loop’ like True Detective or 24?

You’re joking, but going back to Roman/Greek times, it has long been known that best way to deal with assholes is to let them keep talking.

Also, Digg destroyed Digg. When you say ‘assholes destroyed Digg’, you are talking about Digg management, you are totally correct.

What do you mean by ‘asshole’ though? I’m not asking pedantically - sometimes people mean ‘he disagrees with me; he’s an asshole.’ There are PLENTY of people that see the world very differently from me, but they aren’t assholes. Other times, its assholes actually damaging the community.

The harassment some people get truly sucks, but the worst thing about social media is the ‘magnifier’ impact it has in conjunction with our own inability to modulate our own responses.

Yeah, it’d be neat if they clarified it a little. I’m guessing that this change is in a new beta, for which a final version will be released in a few days.

You can see this real time on the current season of Hard Knocks. Fisher is a bad coach, but I never realized what a group of complete clowns the whole Rams organization is.

“MOM...MOM...SEE I TOLD YOU I WASN’T WASTING MY TIME IN THE BASEMENT... WHENS LUNCH GONNA BE READY?....MOM?”

I’m most fascinated/horrified that this guy is supporting half his weight with his cockandballs.

“It never ceases to amaze me (except, not really) how often this meant-to-be cautionary “argument” comes up so specifically and particularly by people who are generally otherwise near-rabid advocates of privacy.” —> this is such an inherently circular argument. This Leslie Jones mess exists for the reasons that…

Believe me, I understand deeply what privacy means. However, this is an argument about risk. Go back and reread the comments a few times. If you don’t understand the root of the debate, don’t comment.

There is no question that the person who did this is a sack of shit, particularly because they probably did it for ‘the lulz’ (as opposed to stealing to feed your family where there may be some moral/ethical ambiguity).
