Faceswapping, Unethical Videos, and Future Shock
Asmo says...With all the trial by social media things these days, the damage is done long before forensics are even required, and retractions get very little traffic. Think about SWAT'ing with zero evidence and a person still ended up dead.
Unless of course it was blurrier, like from a security camera. Forensics would likely still be able to determine it's a fake, but it could well be that a damning clip could have a huge impact before that happens. I could absolutely envision scenarios where this sort of tech could easily ruin a person's life.
New Rule: Distinction Deniers
newtboyHOLY SHIT!
I completely retract my defense. That's completely different from the early report I saw, which indicated otherwise.
Imo, after the first rejection, that's totally out of line.
He deserves to be lumped in, if true. That's predatory behavior.
I was wrong.
Maybe you should actually read the article before commenting on this?
Warning: it's a terribly written article that spends a lot of time on completely irrelevant details, also very NSFW, but to summarise (quoting from article):
When Ansari told her he was going to grab a condom within minutes of their first kiss, Grace voiced her hesitation explicitly. “I said something like, ‘Whoa, let’s relax for a sec, let’s chill.’”
...
She says Ansari began making a move on her that he repeated during their encounter. “The move he kept doing was taking his two fingers in a V-shape and putting them in my mouth, in my throat to wet his fingers, because the moment he’d stick his fingers in my throat he’d go straight for my vagina and try to finger me.” Grace called the move “the claw.”
Ansari also physically pulled her hand towards his penis multiple times throughout the night, from the time he first kissed her on the countertop onward. “He probably moved my hand to his dick five to seven times,” she said. “He really kept doing it after I moved it away.”
But the main thing was that he wouldn’t let her move away from him. She compared the path they cut across his apartment to a football play. “It was 30 minutes of me getting up and moving and him following and sticking his fingers down my throat again. It was really repetitive. It felt like a fucking game.”
Ansari wanted to have sex. She said she remembers him asking again and again, “Where do you want me to fuck you?” while she was still seated on the countertop. She says she found the question tough to answer because she says she didn’t want to fuck him at all.
End quoting.
I find it difficult to believe Ansari is "inexperienced". He's 34, famous, good-looking and funny. Hell, he wrote a damn book on the subject.
Now, even though I've lost count of the number of times I've said this, to be perfectly clear: I DO NOT THINK ANSARI IS GUILTY OF A CRIME.
But I also don't think that behaviour is acceptable. He acted like a total asshole.
But since we're talking about degrees of harm, you can still be an asshole and do actual harm without committing a crime.
Should his accuser have just left? Probably. Does that excuse his behaviour? Nope.
Keanu Reeves Tactical 3 gun shooting
newtboySee the photo at 3:02, then consider retracting your insulting mistaken assumption about their employees, please.
. I didn't need to do any research to know this company ignores competent, talented women with gun skills and normal looks for women who are glossy.
Fox News Destroys Fox News Uranium One Conspiracy
newtboy@bobknight33, you've brought up this b.s. as proof Clinton colluded with Russia. Care to post an apologetic retraction?
I thought not.
Officer disciplined after getting angry over White Privilege
newtboyThanks, I had missed that. I retract my complaint about the presenter's tact/training.
Edit:but it did present a missed opportunity to teach how to properly reply to either of them being improper and defuse the situation respectfully.
Just to be clear, the officer who made the remark (Carri Weber) was not the one giving the seminar.
The presenter (in the red shirt) gives the statistic.
Angry White Dude questions it.
Weber remarks about privilege.
Angry White Dude gets annoyed.
Largest Turboprop in the world Antonov AN 22 Manchester
oritteropoThere was an interesting comment on this vid by Valentyn Mykolajovych, from Antonov,
which as far as I can work out (without speaking Russian) means something like:
Donna Brazile: HRC controlled DNC and rigged the primary
ChaosEngineSorry, no... I just cannot let that kind of ridiculous inaccuracy go unchecked. I mean, you can't just go around making statements like that and expect to be taken seriously. You should retract it and apologise immediately.
The line is "WRETCHED hive of scum and villainy".
The rest was fine... carry on....
Sounds like an "Evil hive of scum and villainy" to me.
The US is screwed if they don't rise up and take back their political system.
Crazy Nut Shot
SDGundamXGoddamn, my nuts retracted just from the sound that kick made.
Had a friend in high school who skateboarded and messed up a rail slide. Landed square on the rail on his nuts and blew out one of his testicles. Before the doctors removed it, it had swollen to the size of a grapefruit. I imagine the guy here probably sustained a similar injury and had to have at least one testicle removed.
Good news is you can still have kids with only one testicle--my friend has two daughters. But damn, if that isn't one of the most painful things to experience I don't know what is.

radxGood piece in the Nation on the current state of Russiagate.

In other words: a big, fat nothingburger. But it allows many interested parties to derail the conversation away from issues like inequality.
ANTIFA Returns To Berkeley
newtboyReally? Ok, point out the antifa in that clip then. Please, show me the crazed lefty pointing his gun and firing at the peaceful Nazis and KKK, name the second and quadrant of the video frame...or any video of that. I'll gladly retract if you can. Waiting with bells on. ;-)
Edit: how sad, Bob. Watching on the bigger screen, I was able to find ONE masked man on the anti Nazi side....why couldn't you?
You got your rose color glasses on Newt.
CNN begs for forgiveness, Project Veritas plays its Zapruder
eric3579NOW can we finally stop touting the "17/13 agencies" thing everyone loves to quote.

CNN begs for forgiveness, Project Veritas plays its Zapruder
enoch@kir_mokum
what makes the irony even more grotesque is that:
1.look at who projectveritas actually IS.it was founded by that slug james o'keefe..yes..THAT james o'keefe,and due to CNN being such an absolute failure of journalistic integrity,they just made that repulsive man actually credible again.
2.CNN had to post a massive retraction,a formal editors note and a at least three correspondents had to fall on the sword.
3.the projectveritas video has a CNN producer openly admitting that it is about the ratings,and nothing more.the russia story makes CNN money....period.
4.there is STILL no evidence of the trump administration "colluding" with russian intelligence,but there IS evidence that the russia story is being pushed by the american "deep state" to discredit,and/or control trump.
*of course this is from independent media who are not part of the corporate media tentacled network of obfuscation,propaganda and gaslighting.
5.the only media still giving the russia story any credence is american media.the rest of the world has moved on.why? no evidence.
this whole situation stinks to high fucking heaven.
hate speech laws & censorship laws make people stupid
newtboyYour original statement did not make any allowance for any exception. Are you retracting it and standing corrected?
We all agree that there are very narrow exceptions, as you note.

How To Correct Donald Trump In Real Time
dannym3141It's happening hardcore over here. It seems like sometime in the last 5 years, all the stops came out and it's become utterly shameless. They will say or do anything, and if they are wrong or found to be acting improperly they print a very small retraction - but the damage is already done. And other media outlets report on the false report!
Recently the Labour leader here has been repeatedly smeared by anti Semitism. They say his supporters are anti-Semites, that he doesn't express enough outrage in condemning anti-Semitism. The guy is famed for his tolerance and acceptance, says in almost every speech he gives that he wants to challenge any and all xenophobia, is the biggest cheerleader for women and minorities, has appointed the most diverse shadow cabinet in history, issued a full independent investigation into racism and abuse....... He does all of this, but now the stories are "claims of anti-Semitism appears to follow the Labour leader around" -- they are now reporting that they have reported false claims of anti-Semitism!
He doesn't even defend himself - he asks people instead to stop instrumentalising minorities to score political points. So then they claim he's not taking their false claims seriously enough and therefore not taking anti-Semitism seriously and the smear cycle goes on.
The worst thing about all of this is how complicit his opponents are in the game.... fair enough if you don't like him, it's ok to rubbish his policies. But this media misrepresentation is destroying a democracy that was already on its knees. And politicians, guardians of our society, manipulate and utilise this poisonous shit to get their way!
This year has completely turned me off politics again. To see what these people will to do an honest man has broken my spirit, but to that 70 year old bloke's credit, it hasn't broken his.
Jesus, how much do they need to do this.... but they fucking won't.
Journalism is failing democracy.
