Part of spin though, is taking a situation that is open to interpretation, and interpreting it in a favorable way. Downplaying or omitting facts is only lying if you know your interpretation is false, and are making the omissions to hide this.

What I really meant by that point, and sort of didn’t flesh out, isn’t just that insurance is insurance, but that health insurance for a large number of people is substantially worse than other forms. Car insurance might cost more than it typically pays out, but when you wreak a car, you don’t get a bill for three…

That’s a common argument, but nobody making it ever does the math. Hospitals want us to think that all the services they provide should cost that much, but it’s simply not actually true. The fact is that they have become very good at making sure all the prices and expenses are properly inflated to give the image that…

Something that Burnie keeps shouting about without elaborating on or really explaining, is what going on the offensive against the healthcare industry would actually do.

I find that, even in attempts at satire, making outlandish statements can be harmful. For one reason, there is Poe’s Law - the idea that with nothing but text, it’s impossible to tell the difference between a real opinion and satire. And second, because typically, satire or not, the comment is only going to piss off…

Yeah, I’m asking why we are making an issue that shouldn’t be an issue into an issue... wait, I know, it’s for the clicks. Because a headline like “Blackface Controversy...” isn’t really about a controversy, it creates a controversy. It manufactures one. The fact is, this story isn’t news worthy. Someone did something…

The problem I see with the discussion is that by discussing whether or not this is black face, and whether or not it’s okay, and whether or not it should matter... is that all such points predicate upon the idea that A. dark skin is a significant trait that should carry a cultural and social weight and B. that such…

I believe you misunderstand. History, the events of the past, are very real things. Culture, the values, behaviors, shared history, traditions, etc. of a group of people are also incredibly real and important.

Let me ask what might be a... difficult question. What, exactly, is the purpose of disqualifying this costume? Or of writing this article about it?

How does that have anything to do with snooping? Using someone’s phone, and looking at their history for reasons other than “hey honey, there was a site I was on and I can’t find it, can you show me how to check my history” is problematic.

This exactly, Incognito. And if you mess up and load some shit in a clear window? You can edit/delete history. Unless you are finding a ton of shit in the history, indicating that the person doesn’t know how to hide/remove it at all, then there is no reason to believe that you are seeing something they intentionally…

Alternatively, it’s a good reason to think that it’s benign. Assuming this person isn’t totally over-reacting, and the particular sites/porn were at least... weird, the existence and prevalence of Incognito actually lends more credence to his claim of pop-ups, because why would he ever visit that weird shit in the…

Many, though they are typically somewhat sketchy sites - file sharing, certain types of games, or ones that are themselves infected with malware.

It’s always the same story isn’t it? They were “innocently” looking through their partner’s history, looking for evidence of... something, anything. Because they either have a “good” reason to suspect something, or have a hard time believing that anyone could not have some illicit something in there.

The funny thing is, there has been an “end” for years, the game didn’t come out of beta without one. Yet a lot of people don’t know about it.

Problem is, that in all of this nothing that Trump said on the record, or “confirmed” having done has been undeniably illegal.

Completely different animal. For one thing, there isn’t a good way to deal with strings in an efficient way in JavaScript. There are many powerful tool for strings, but they aren’t what you would call “efficient” really. Especially as the strings get to be very very large.

So, the only explanation for this is performance. Counting the words seems to be a process so slow, that doing it live just isn’t a great idea, and doing it with a document that’s especially long is worse.

How the heck do you people have this much self control? If I buy an XL pizza, you better fucking believe I eat an XL pizza. In one sitting. Alone. None of this “Oh I’ll eat a slice or two and freeze the rest” stuff, if I start eating pizza, I can not stop until there is no more pizza.

I’m always amazed when people don’t know this. I have seen people order two small pizzas because they want different toppings, and I’m like.... dude you could have gotten half and half on a large for cheaper, an it’s more pizza.
