I have no problem with anyone cleaning up around here. I just think consideration for members recent comments should be respected by limiting the amount of dead video comments so as not to bury recent comments 15 pages back. Just seems disrespectful to other sifters. I think we could come up with a limit on how many dead videos can be deleted at one time per member. I just think smaller numbers over a longer period of time could be just as effective and less intrusive.

Again, this has nothing to do with the rules in my eyes and everything to do with consideration.

Isn't there a less intrusive way to do this without pushing recent comments into outer space? Asking as a friend.

Anger/hatred is only step one, maybe even a precursor to step one, which is devising and taking action to oppose the wrongs that pissed you off. You're making assumptions again....what did Mptions do to deserve being made an ass of? ;-)

The roads to hell (and by your theory, back out) are infinite, and usually paved with good intentions (but poor premeditation and/or ongoing examination).

The abuse I speak of was the illegal search and the aggressive, disruptive, stress-causing intrusion into his private room, and he had no choice in that. He also had no choice but to waste his time with them. He could have made it easier and more pleasant for them by letting them violate him silently, but he chose not to capitulate without resistance....what little he had to offer. I support that wholeheartedly.

Trust doesn't expose truth, it hides it, obfuscated it, twists it, colors it.....Trust is antithetical to finding "truth", and today is a terrible idea as more than half of all circulating information is not trustworthy by far. (""Truth" is an idea in the mind of a crazy person, you don't need to know the "truth" to not lie."-my father.
.....what I really mean here is "fact" Not "truth".)

Only truly blind infatuation fits that model, I love with eyes open. If you love someone blindly you really love a concept of them you created, not the real person. I think love is much stronger and real when you love the whole person, scars and blemishes included, not some idealized version without the normal human flaws. It leads to far less disappointment.

So, to save you wasting 22 minutes watching this dreck, this is all a semantic argument about how you define "attack".

If you say illicitly intruding on a system and stealing the data, and probing the system to prepare for future intrusions is just "scanning" and to be an "attack" they must successfully, detectably use that stolen data to take over/directly influence the system (like deleting or invalidating voters or freezing/ransomwareing the election computer systems) or to successfully change the results inside election machines, then there was no successful attack detected.
If you think breaking into election systems, stealing the data, and scanning the election system for exploitable vulnerabilities is an attack, there were many attacks detected.

Jebus Christ, this is what Jimmy Dore has become, a ranting conspiracy theorist that gleefully twists any fact to match his narrative? How sad.

WTF?
I watched it happen in real time....and I've seen many documentaries about it since.
The Fed's were there because a delivery guy found a box of live grenades being shipped to them, not because they tried to get on tv.
They were armed to the teeth with illegal arms, they said in part to defend against intrusion by the government, and they used those arms for that purpose....and lost massively.

The Fed's aren't well known for allowing those in the middle of an armed standoff a time out to do tv interviews. What kind of nonsense are you talking about?!

Even sadder that they might be right, it might still be a huge step up from their current conditions if they're homeless.
I would like to see something like this replace a tent city under an overpass any day, engineered, built, and monitored by the city, at least as a test. That would have to be preferable for everyone over random intrusive homeless encampments.

*quality design. This would be great as a homeless encampment. Each cart would be one secure sleeping area completely inaccessible when occupied, and the homeless would be much less intrusive.
*promote
*engineering

Ha! No intrusion, message me anytime. That song was great!

Sure, Javascript can do some great and beneficial things. But along with that comes a massive amount of grey-area stuff like tracking, loading content from "CDNs", etc. And then there's plenty of utterly indefensible crap like XSS attacks, intrusive advertising and malware, etc.

To me, the bad apples spoil the bunch. At least to the extent that I want to be careful to the point of paranoia about what I allow in -- I'm rigorously inspecting every goddamn apple. Admittedly, if you stay on legit and mainstream sites, the chances of stumbling on one of the bad apples are very low. But you're still subject to a hell of a lot more of the grey-area stuff that way.

To me, my scorched-earth approach is worth it both for preventing really nasty stuff AND the grey-area stuff that is getting more invasive all the time.

It did, but I don't remember exactly...something like....
suspicious activity alert, a hostile attack by (don't remember program name, maybe Trojan.something, not sure) has been blocked by Norton.
I hope you're safe. No more Bob links for this guy, burn me once....

EDIT: Norton security history has it listed as "web attack: fake scan" "webpage 22" "webpage 29", "webpage 12" intrusion attempt...it tried 3 times with different 'webpage' references, all from the same IP...high risk.

I think some of the new waterproof phones might be using the coatings as one level of protection against water intrusion. Anything in a marine environment could also benefit.

Vote as you like, but I think you missed the important point being made (agreed, made excessively poorly, even disingenuously by Cenk) that this was an intentional squandering of the perfect time to remove the offending, illegal portions of the law, and leaving them in may (I'm no legal scholar, but often if one part is invalid, the entire document is invalid) invalidate the whole thing and require another re-write, taking more time, money, and effort, all of which are in short supply.

Is it a BIG deal, no...at least I hope not. There's always the possibility that they'll actually try to use it again to prosecute homosexuals, forcing them to 'prove' they aren't sodomites in court (an impossibility, btw) or go to prison or at best be forced to publicly re-address and re-litigate it over and over as they appeal up to the supreme court, destroying them professionally and financially, as has been done many times in the past.
Please do note that most 'homosexual behavior' has been illegal in the South in the past, and those laws have been repeatedly used to destroy people's lives and families, often based on false accusations, and despite their unconstitutionality and immorality. Leaving those laws on the books, even when they've been deemed unenforceable, leaves many people in a legal limbo. They can never feel safe in their own state and there's the reality that every time a new public official is elected they have to wonder if they'll have to fight this fight once again. Many times states have decided to enforce unconstitutional laws, and while in the end they were struck down, those they are applied against in the mean time are often destroyed.
Also, because they can't successfully prosecute someone for this unconstitutional law doesn't mean they can't use it to 'out' them, or investigate them until they find something they can prosecute, as has also happened in the past.
...But I don't think Cenk tried to make any of those points, he was just pointing out this blatant hypocrisy, which is representative of Republicans spending their exceedingly limited legislating time, effort, and money doing ridiculous, illegal, meaningless things, but completely fail at doing anything helpful, meaningful, or even legal like removing the offensive, unconstitutional part of the law when you're already re-writing and re-voting on a law, or maybe finding a way to get Flint non-poisoned water, or finding a way to put those responsible for poisoning an entire community (whether by negligence or out of greed) in prison, and it's representative of their complete hypocrisy about the party platform, which is conveniently completely forgotten when 'out of control government intrusion' is on their side.
I do completely admit he could have been far clearer about what really happened rather than imply they wrote this in as an amendment, bad Cenk.

*promote the insanity of Republicans trying to put the government in your bedroom and wiping their ass with the constitution in the effort.
So much for 'we hate big government intrusion in private citizen's lives', or 'we're the party that respects the constitution' or even 'we're the party of freedom lovers'...how on earth are they going to explain this? One more act by the right that's completely antithetical to their stated goals, morals, ethics, reason, the law, .....
Can this criminally insane party please just die and let the rest of the world evolve? It is really reaching the point where being Republican qualifies as a legitimate reason for involuntary commitment.
