"Come On Jesus Kidz"
Pretty sure the reference to drinking liquid from a dixie cup to send you to heaven is all-in on parody.
Best thumbnail ever, also creepy.
Is Po's law in effect here, because I can't tell.
Atheist in the Bible Belt outs herself because she is MORAL
Evolution favors morality in a species that thrives by cooperating.
That's where it comes from.
Now shhhh, I'm watching Wolf milk misery for ratings.

I long for the days of VS where this would have been top. Nice sift. Back to LOLCats everyone!
1999 in 10 Minutes
FFS, I liked 1999. For those of you that don't remember, despite what is portrayed here it did not suck.

Bitcoin Explained
Watch my first link (start halfway through to skip to BtC; @Mobius as well) and read this.
Essentially you're mistaken with this assertion.
@rebuilder : FYI
@schlub : this was the first crypto currency to get the execution right; therein a very original idea.
Back in my hole.
It should be noted that creating a currency other than the existing Dollar, is illegal in the USA. (that won't stop people from using bitcoin, just not legally accepted). Not sure of laws governing Euro...
It used to be computationally easy to generate bitcoins, but nowadays you need a fast GPU or large cluster to even have a chance.
Also, I remember a story of guy who generated a ton of bitcoins early on. Someone found out, broke into his house and stole all his computers - and with them, his bitcoins (~ 5 million). Good luck trying to tell the insurance company that you had $350 Million worth of bitcoins stolen...

Oh c'mon; a joke company would do something stupid like kill off CalDAV in favor of a proprietary API.... oh wait....
the more of these "gags" they pull, the less I see them as a tech company and the more they seem to be, well, a joke.
Rachel Maddow Hammers Home Why Fox News Is Bulls#@!
True that, they could all use some more straightforward motto refreshments. Let me make recommendations:
"We incite disagreement, we profit."
"Your source for tearing humanity apart one issue at a time."
"Ignoring everything that matters."
"We don't try to report because trying is hard."
"OMG DID U HEAR ABOUT BRANGELINA PRINCE POPE!?"
Well we maintain that if people aren't convinced that ALL news corps are bullshit by now, they may never
The propaganda and diversion of socio-cybernetic engineering is the same no matter what your flavor.
PS4 Announcement - Abridged Version
Consoles are turning into the legacy media providers; the only thing they can do to get you to buy one is provide platform-locked content. There is nothing they're doing here that couldn't be done as well or better with a PC. (or Mac if the software was there) Like Jinx says, I'd much rather have an open platform like Valve's idea.
A Powerful Spoken Word about Bullying and Self-Worth
What if we can't ever expect our children to treat each other with respect when our adults don't give them a lead to follow. Does the system by which we operate ensure harmony and shared purpose, or do we strive to force competition amongst ourselves for access to an artificially finite resource governed by a set of rules we have collectively agreed to follow?
Maybe our society is sick and this is one of the many symptoms. Maybe we need to change society.
Campus Censorship and the End of American Debate
I can't disagree with that assessment as stated at all, but at the same time I think there may be some validity to the overall point regardless of the mention of that questionable group. I certainly won't defend bullying; I think it's abhorrent and indefensible, but I'm concerned regarding the point that discourse on college campuses has been stifled may be valid and worth discussing.

Regardless, due to priorities beyond my control I know that I won't be the one to hash this out so let me just say that this is a great conversation and it's exactly what I hope VS can continue to be.
I agree with you as far as the seeming "changing of the guard" goes, but I've seen that happen elsewhere I reverse. When it comes down to it I think we see trends that have their time, and then move on. Right now after the US election season I would expect a lot of stupid pointless videos as people are tired of the politics for a bit (and not just people sifting these videos, the people making them as well). Now as to this video I think the initial argument made was certainly valid. The point in the video is extremely well worded, but you do have to consider the source on these things. As i mentioned, a brief glance at FIRE's website shows defense of a college student you is bullying and cyber bullying a girl about her weight in a malicious fashion. if you look at the conduct codes they are fighting against, every one of them is against this type of bullying. They are promoting this as free speech, but a University has the right to draw the line when this borders on harassment.
