    It’s all stupid. A day has 24 hours. An hour, 60 minutes. A minute 60 seconds. A circle 360 degrees. A clock, 2 hands and 12 segments. A week 7 days. A year, 12 months. A cycle of the moon 28 days. Twitter 140 characters. 8 bits in a byte. Somehow, we all manage to function with these non-uniform, non-base-10,

    Did you really just use a turtle escaping a pen and then lounging nearby as a “massive screwup” justifying converting an entire nation to a new system of measure?
    There are 2 type of countries in the world. Those that use metric, and those that have put a man on the moon.

    So if there is a phenomenon that is INCREASING sea live rise that they knew nothing about, then why have the estimates for sea level rise been too HIGH up to this point? Won’t this discovery just push them model estimates higher and therefore make them less accurate relative to the actual rise? Good Lord I wish

    Right!? My biggest gripe was not enough inventory, I had to keep passing up great weapons because I was full of as good or better ones. I think people frustrated by the weapon breakage were not fully invested in the games presupposition of exploring all the time. If you play the game as exploration, rather than “GO GO

    When you say you don’t believe evidence exists, and then say that if it DOES exist, you won’t believe it anyway, you clearly are only able to believe that which supports your view. You’re stuck in a box of ignorance at that point and I can’t help you. With an attitude like that, good luck ever learning anything

    How dare you.

    Wait, so my 360 copy I preordered won’t get the DLC? LAME.

    Nyahhh, not really. If someone accuses you of lying, people will want proof. Accuses you of stealing? Proof. Accuses you of murder? Proof. But some sort of sexually related act towards a woman? Proof not required. We believe the victims. Period.

    Is the drop rate still complete garbage? I’m sorry, but a player should get at least 1 really good gun per level and in an 8 hour DLC, you should see a few legendaries and effervescent. But I’m certain we will not. The drop rate in BL1 was way better. You’d get an orange every level or so. In BL2, I’m not sure I ever

    You’re not listening.

    The Venn diagram of actual racists and trolls who spout racism is approaching a single circle.”

    This is 100% false. I don’t know where people are getting this completely inaccurate idea.

    Let’s hope not! US currently sits at #10 out of 87 ranked.

    Nah, Google sucks at business. They were probably completely unaware of what the infrastructure key to their business looked like.

    I dont think you do understand. At least your comments would indicate you do not. You keep ascribing motive and values to the troll that are not present. That’s simply incorrect. You can’t say they’re “fine” with using racism. Because they don’t care about it and haven’t thought about it. They’ve not had the thought,

    You’ll find in many cases, false statements are difficult to grasp for truthseekers. You make a statement that simply isn’t true. You could literally train a dog to push a button that has blackface on it whenever you say the words fried chicken as long as that dog got a treat for doing so. That dog is not racist. It’s

    “Most recent racist mass murderers started with memes”

    That’s false. I think this kind of misunderstanding is what underpins the bad solutions we see to this kind of problem. You don’t solve the problem of trolls by trying to combat racism. Because they’re not racist. They’re not “just meming” about that you are correct. They are trolls. They could almost certainly

    It actually does work. Ignored trolls almost always go away eventually. They need attention. Lack of attention is their kryptonite. And it’s not “do nothing”. It’s simply not to freak out in the exact way the trolls are attempting to get you to freak out.

    This is false. This is not “targeting” minorities anymore than trolling about video games is targeting nerds. Or trolling whatever is targeting members who care about whatever. And it’s absolutely being triggered. This is silly if not completely lame trolling. To freak out like above is absolutely being triggered.

    This is false. And I think this kind of misunderstanding is what underpins the bad solutions we see to this kind of problem. You don’t solve the problem of trolls by trying to combat racism. Because they’re not racist. Combating racism is useless. They’re just trying to get a reaction. YOu fight trolls very

    they’re just being edgy for a reaction

    This.

    Racism gets a reaction. That’s what these people want. And guess what they’re getting. Exactly what they want. By reacting, by banning, by doing what this idiot did, having a melt down on his stream, he has literally given them exactly what they wanted. These are not
