papercut, this looks like he may have installed a obsolete motherboard within the colony as a base, since the real electronics would need to be pristine to function.

That said, there are some effects like the "moving bar backlighting" that not only need to be planned and carried out over several days in a time lapse, but to synch it to music ques? sounds more like a guy planned out months of time lapse to an already choreographed music video.

Liberal insanity (doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results).

Every time Sh;tgress takes a break from their year-round vacations to draft new legislation, we're screwed. Are you beginning to understand?

We could seal every last one of the bastards in a vault for 10 years and leave the laws as they are and be no worse for wear.

But let's assume for a minute that this new garbage legislation does exactly what the left wants it to do. Even in this pristine fictional form, the very real consequences will be higher taxes or more debt (someone has to pay for those new bureaucraps/police) more crippling regulations for businesses and, oh, I almost forgot, the average joe (whom taxocrats claim to be standing up for) not only is taxed more, businesses will simply pass along costs.

With thugverment---a necessary evil and nothing more---the cure is almost always worse than the disease.

Unfortunately my toilet is pristine, or I'd give it a bash! They use this method on How Clean Is Your House...

I also live in Arizona and I strongly support the bill. I also support immigration that is legal and feel that most my social views are pretty liberal. We certainly need some sort of foreign-workers bill.

The big problems that I see in Arizona now are:
1. Environmental - I spend a lot of time in the backcountry and the once pristine wildness along the border now looks like a thousand mile trash dump. The illegals have dumped litter-ally tons of trash everywhere.
2. Taxes - Illegals don't pay taxes, but use the services that are paid for by citizens taxes.
3. Security - Not only have the Mexican drug lords become more violent along the border, but we've had middle eastern extremists sneak into our country.

I'm glad that this problem is getting some needed attention.

I'm not sure about downvoting a video based on bad audio quality -- the embed could be replaced with a pristine one, at which point your downvote will remain regardless of how good the actual video is.

As for my voting philosophy -- if I like a video, even a tiny little bit, I'll upvote it. Otherwise I'll just leave it be. Downvoting feels a bit too aggressive to me.

It just blows me away that he's willing to waste time on them. I respect him for it, but I can't see how he thinks it's going to make any difference. They and most of their viewers are simply not interested in hearing anything that contradicts their precommitted (ordered from above?) stances. Certainly nothing as crass as a fact is allowed to enter those pristine, unused minds.

@RedSky

You're a very shallow person. I used to like you, but I don't think very highly of you anymore.

You just don't get it.

How would you know if things are better now in China than they were in 1979? Do you live there? Have you lived there? More likely than not, you're going to repeat some happy horseshit that a college professor fed you in Econ 101.

And what exactly made things start getting better in 1979? A change of leadership? "Opening up" the markets?

Instead of seeing the inhuman results of an imperfect system, you make excuses for it.

Instead of asking yourself "is there a better way?" you say "things could be worse."

You're one of them. The borg. The exploiters.

Why don't you tell me how things have gotten better since 1979, and why they've gotten better.

Why don't you give me your sage, first-hand experience with life in China, since you are consistently justifying that a large number of people work like dogs, to make worthless shit, in order to enrich the few.

You know what I fucking hate?

I fucking hate people who try to act as if they're talking about economics when, in fact, they're only talking about capitalism, and usually the most quixotic, pristine examples of capitalism at that.

Can you imagine how beautiful and pristine America would look if the white man would have never waged genocide against the Native Americans and stolen their lands. Yet now you all contribute to destroy this land and then rage against a nation that is merely reclaiming its long lost identity and lands. Can you say hypocrite?
What's good for the goose is good for the gander. And here's a thought - never bring a rock to a gun fight. Better yet, don't throw rocks at a man with a gun.

soooooo.....
your point is colonialism is a good thing?nation building can only happen with genocidal extermination?
america would have never got the bump without slavery..should we have kept that also?
should i build a time machine and go warn the cherokee and apache nations?
rage against a nation that is merely reclaiming its long lost identity?
so the palestinians were only keeping the bed warm for almost 2000 years?
OR..or....
central asian jews formerly known as kazhars traded assistance during WW1 to britain who promised these non-european jews a portion of palestine.look up sept 11th 1922 amended balfour declaration.britains blood soaked gift to the world.
good lord man...
your lack of knowledge is staggering.you actually managed to regurgitate almost every pertinent piece of propaganda in your comment.
well done.


I agree. As the saying goes...you should learn from history and not repeat its mistakes. History should never be used in anyway to justify a means to an end. Especially when we have hindsight (bias).

^ Did I pile on too much praise? Who could doubt those frighteningly pristine chompers?

:-o The pristine mind of a disembodied Blankfist hovers above a terrain of immaculate liberty.

Good luck, have fun. I'll go pull my armor out of the pantry and ride off to fix the rest of the world's troubles.

In reply to this comment by gwiz665:
That's exactly what I've done. I think she broke "the rules" when she requested it be removed, so I mock her by saying it again (or something similar). And if I want to protest that the easiest way is to mock it. (Hell, I nearly pulled the infamous chuggo video out of sift talk again too, but I can understand your problems with advertisers and didn't want to be too much of a pain to you guys.)

If the mail you got had been to me (and it was my post), I may or may not have removed the info, because if she's getting really hurt and I don't really care, then there's no reason for it to be there. I can honestly not see how she would be so hurt over that though. This is turning into Sierra Noble-gate, I think.

I can certainly understand the disassociation you talk about. The John Gabriel Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory is very true indeed, but I freely identify myself and stand by my words.

My comment was really intended for you, calvados and her; and if you've all seen it, I don't really see the use in having it anymore. If you really feel it hurts her and you (and the sift) you have my blessing to remove it, and I won't bitch about it (any more).

Peace.

One malady of Internet life I feel is that people are very quick to take action for perceived "rights" issues- but seldom consider the individual human beings that their actions affect. It's a disassocation- happens in cars because we can't readily see the people inside and consider the car to be a beast at least in some portion of our brains. We do and say things that we would never do or say to a person's face.

You've taken the easy, automatic action- flipping off a car that you think has broken the road rules. I don't expect you to see it this way, because I'm sure you're feeling fairly defensive at this point. But wow, I really do wish people were more empathetic saw the world less in shades of black and white.

If you want to be smug, move to San Francisco. I'm no more pleased or displeased with myself than normal, because I don't really care. If someone pushes, I push back, and that's all I've done here.

Yes, quite the high road you're taking there. You must be really pleased with yourself. Congrats.

In reply to this comment by gwiz665:
The censorship comes not from you, but from her. She's feeling "outraged" that her daughter was talked about on the Internet, and while you obviously didn't just change the post (which would have been far worse), you passed on a "network note" that essentially made calvados change the post, not to look like a dick. To be completely honest, I'm not sure what was actually in the post before, I made my comment after his changes. I can see the point in not announcing something like she was nude on the beach or whatever in the title, but to guild trip people into not saying anything like it in the comments is just not kosher.

A comment is not a big deal. I don't want anyone to come in and tell me what I can and can't say about something so trivial. The next thing is that she wants me to only think good thoughts about her daughter.

There is such a thing as tact - if someone had died, I wouldn't do a little dance at his funeral - but this is just not relevant. If she wants to maintain the pristine veneer of her little fairy tale offspring, then she can go off to live in Narnia - this is the real world.

I don't care about private if you don't, I'm the one taking the high road.

In reply to this comment by dag:
Censorship. Really? You're going to go that route? Where's the censorship here? Have you seen me deleting anything?

I asked Calvados if he could modify his post to save this kid and her mom a bit of embarrassment - he complied. I waited a week for him to make the change - and I would have done absolutely nothing if he decided not to. Where exactly is this censorship you speak of?

Way to make a moral stand- you sure showed this lady.

PS, I'm making this private- but if this is something you want out in the open, feel free to unprivate it. Ta.

If I had done a 4Chan, it would be much worse (a fancy photoshop, for instance) - but I'm not a monster. Besides, other people have made far worse comments, and if she's giving you grief over my comment then I am sorry, for you, not her.

And she's not a minor at the "tender age of 19", so she can shove her concern.
