Not the first time this year. People need to get around to deploying RPKI. If you're running BGP without RPKI, you're just asking to get pwned.

You talk and act childish, you want to get responses?

Oh, I was just summarizing your argument methodology.

I suppose I should put quote around it otherwise it could be considered plagiarism Smiley

But the fact that you couldn't provide proof means you've conceded on your point; good debate my fellow. Nice to own you yet again.

I would have told him "Shut the Fuck Up, You Idiot!" or maybe "Suck some CNN cock." No, ignore that last one that's you that do that....

I mean, if you think governments should censor their citizens you should move to China or Russia. That's not how the United States operates.

Really?

Even those countries use Roberts Rules of Order for meetings and such, with a few exceptions.

Russa - 148

China - 176

Thanks to our dumbass president, we dropped a bunch of ranks.


So much for "freedom of press" in the land of the free.

A false flag? What? Do you even know what the words you use mean?

http://www.yourdictionary.com/false-flag

"false-flag
Noun

(plural false flags)

    (nautical) A ruse, in the days of sail, in which an attacking ship would fly the colours of its enemy until close enough to open fire.
    (espionage, military) A diversionary or propaganda tactic of deceiving an adversary into thinking that an operation was carried out by another party."

So your theory is Jim Acosta is an undercover Republican operative sent to discredit CNN and the Democrat party? Mmmmmk.


Why don't you make it absolutely clear and source the exact image you claim is doctored.

>the deception creates the appearance of a particular party, group, or nation being responsible for some activity, disguising the actual source of responsibility.

We're talking about the guy committing "violence" rather than presidential silencing of press. It's a pretty good disguise.

The best part is the "violence" was doctored footage, which "was sped up, but not doctored" according to the whitehouse.

Speeding up the video "is" changing the footage.

Even if what you are claiming were true, this still doesn't make it a false flag. Learn how to use words, then debate. Also, once again, source the image you are claiming is doctored. Not an article the image might be in, the URL to the image itself.

Uhhh, okay buddy.

One: It's not my claim, it's the claim of the whitehouse spokesperson that the footage was "sped up".

Two: My usage of "false flag" is perfectly fine in this sense. The whole "karate chop" distracts from the fact the president told an individual member of the press to "shut up". If we had a "presidential" president, they'd have calmly let the reporter talk, say "no comment" or rebuke the statement factually.

Instead we had a whining baby cry that they shouldn't have the right to speak. The baby didn't like what he heard to he ended up taking away their right to speak to him.

Again, we're not even talking about the president silencing a reporter; which was the whole point of the whitehouse speeding up the footage is to make Jim Acosta seem like the "violent bad guy" rather than the "silenced journalist".

It's a pretty sad state of affairs of easy the "right" forgets that "FREEDOM OF SPEECH" is something the government CANNOT infringe upon.

'BUT MAH 3RD PARTY PROVIDERS MUTED MY CHAN' -- guess what, that's not a government entity bucko.

Bitcoin is a prepper's tool...

You know bitcoin is useless without a network? Without instantaneous global communication, the blockchain is utterly worthless.

I don't see how bitcoin is really a prepper's tool.

No one really has the expertise to discuss any of these topics at length it seems.

No one wants to deal with your trolling is the more likely explanation. It's totally up to you to make your threads interesting and engaging. Most often you just post a link and expect something to happen.

There's certain users I tend to troll (normally counter-trolling), but in serious discussion, I'm fairly serious. I do think there are specific topics in which this community has absolutely no actual knowledge.

Hydrogen seems to be a pretty big weakness, as well as "cyber security" (you'd think a bunch of "crypto nerds" would be interested in an APT... but I guess not).

The again, the "crypto nerds" here aren't cryptography nerds, but some pseudo-economic followers of cryptography.

Sometimes I wonderwhy I bother. The Ivory Tower should be the most interesting board here, and it should have a wide range of decent topics containing discussion with some of the more able members.  It seems that I am the only one who wants that.

I've said my piece, so now I will leave it for you guys to use it or lose it.

I stopped reading the serious discussion board because of the low value posting by some of the juniors.

You could engage yourself in some of that discussion or head over to off-topic Smiley

I think collective education is still very valuable, but the wrong things are being taught in the wrong ways. Kids should learn how to manage money, how to take calculated risks, and how to make smart investments so they aren't forced to become modern slaves.

http://www.corestandards.org/Math/Content/7/RP/

I think a lot of people misunderstand the common core just due to their lack of knowledge of the standards.

What's really funny is the video's doctored to make Jim Acosta look worse. If you want the video that I posted, this whole thread is a nothing burger.

https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/a24937408/kellyanne-conway-jim-acosta-video-doctored/

Oh please do source this "doctored" video so we can do a side by side comparison. You made the claim, the burden of proof is on you. Source it.

"That’s not altered, that’s sped up," said Conway of the video, "They do it all the time in sports to see if there’s a first down or a touchdown. I have to disagree with, I think, the overwrought description of this video being doctored."


Conway's statement is mind-boggling on a couple of counts. For one, speeding something up almost certainly falls under the definition of altering it. And sports analysts don’t usually speed up the action to get a clearer look at it—slowing things down tends to offer a more detailed look.

If you read the article; you'd see the source. Pretty sure you can compare the gif I linked on the first page to OP's post.

Overall, this is a false flag right wing operation to target the media.

4 of the first five threads were started by me, -

One cent crypto coins - I'm interested in starting a small speculation club for fun, and wanted to try some of the undervalued cryptos.

Will Russia create a new European Union? - OK that's a political one, and could be a cospiracy theory candidate.

The Hublot Bitcoin watch has sold out. - Bitcoin collectables and memorabilia are interesting to many members here.

Will liquidation chop bots kill amateur trading in Bitcoin? A possible discussion topic for day traders in Bitcoin

I think there is a reasonable mix there, and it is probably unfair to tar with with a tin foil hat for all my threads.

Shitcoin discussion could have went in the altcoin section.

Russia / EU conspiracy could have went in politics and society.

Who cares about bitcoin collectibles? I'm fairly certain there's a section literally for the buy/sell/trade purpose of those things.

Liquidation bots could easily go under economics.

None of the topics really go into depth too much and gloss over surface levels of it all.

I'm sure you can find more detailed information on each of those subjects in other sections. Well, probably not the conspiracy EU bullshit...that's a bit new.
635  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Why are some people still skeptical about climate change? on: November 12, 2018, 04:53:13 PM
It's a scientific fact that the overall temperature is rising. The problem most people have with this theory, is that the media is claiming it's due to human influences that the worlds temperature is rising. Which can be disproven very easily. Humans have a very, very minor effect on climate change. The worlds temperature has gone up and down over the last thousands and thousands of years. For example : 300 years ago it was almost 1 C° higher than it is now.
So that's my problem with the theory. Although you simply can't deny that climate change isn't happening.


Here's a nice timeline. It's pretty smooth, even though there's changes greater than 1C. Notice the extreme curve in recent history?

(deleted the Al Gore Hockey Stick)

Normally non-man made climate change takes place over tens of thousands of years, not hundreds.
Not in the case of the Little Ice Age, or the Medieval Warm Period. Not in the case of many other natural phenomena. Guess you are just wrong on that.

It's a good job that the US doesn't do any hacking or spying, and that they don't interfere inthe politics of any other countries. Smiley

Well of course it doesn't does it? Microsoft is a deep state globalist organisation, and is therefore above the US, which is manipulated by the unicorns like Obama and Clinton.

We won't even start on the Fed.

Kremlin exploited 0day RCE in Exchange. I don't think it was a known vulnerability to even the NSA.

but of course the US engages in cyber warfare.

Mailing weapons of mass destruction through USPS... only a fucking insane tard would believe that they'd be charged with "weapon of mass destruction"

https://caselaw.findlaw.com/us-9th-circuit/1047180.html

Oh, hey, look at that! Someone else sent working bombs through the USPS and they WEREN'T classified as weapons of mass destruction.

Who'd thunk?  Roll Eyes


Just because you fail at understanding law doesn't mean the courts fail at understanding law.  Cool

Well first of all the law says nothing about a requirement of mailing, simply possessing a functional explosive device is enough for the charge. Also, I know so little about law that I noticed that the laws against "weapons of mass destruction" came during and after Kazinski's bombings, and you can't charge some one with a law that was passed AFTER the act was committed.

I think I posted there a few times before the requirements changed. I'm not sure though. Pretty sure my threads were purged though.
