Came back to visit and found this pilot. It was really entertaining and really keeps you guessing on what is actually happening and what isn't.

This looks like it happened somewhere in Poland. The announcer is speaking in Polish and the guy at the end says "Didn't I tell you?" in Polish.

Just wanted to point out the mathematics of reducing the plate size from 12" to 10".

Measuring my own plates (which are 10") I noticed that the border for the plates is approx 1.5" wide, which reduces the effective area of the plate by 3" diameter.

A 10" plate will have a 7" effective diameter, and using pi*r^2 we have an area of approx 154.

A 12" plate would have a 9" effective diameter, and calculating it's area we get approx 254.

A 10" plate is 40% smaller in effective area than a 12" plate, so to me it's actually surprising that there is only a 22% reduction in food consumption (which can probably be explained by the psychology of perceived portion sizes and wanting to fill in the empty space of a plate).

Jesus christ, this is infuriating.

Does Anonymous not realise that Guy Fawkes's goal was to install a Catholic theocracy? Kind of at odds with what they want, right?


It's not about what he was or what he tried to do, it's about the idea he represents has turned into. He's turned into an icon of anonimity and unity under that pretense.

Che Guevara, who is now considered an anti-imperialistic figure, was at one point attempting to lead a Cuban-led revolution in the African Congo.

How about when American children used to perform the Bellamy Salute during the Pledge of Allegiance?

Even the swastika had many different benevolent meanings before it was used as a symbol for an oppressive regime.

Symbols change over time and are used by people to unite under an idea, whether it be a positive or negative one. I believe the current use of the Guy Fawkes mask and what it stands for is positive.

Why are people making this out to be Republican vs. Democrat?

AFAIK both sides voted to repeal Glass-Steagall.

The problem isn't Republicans or Democrats, it's the lobbyists that find legal ways to bribe politicians to get what they want.

I'm not proposing a solution because I don't have one, but the problem seems to be with the system itself IMO. Feel free to correct my way of thinking.

I don't like the way that Cenk pantomimes every clip before and after the fact. We just watched the clip ourselves, you don't need to exaggerate it.
But I do like the way he admits there is widespread Marijuana use. So rare to see a talking head conceding a point and independently verifying information.


I wouldn't really call it widespread, nor would I consider it any worse than a cigarette or an alcoholic drink. All three have cognitive effects.

I find his exaggeration warranted because someone needs to point out how ridiculous the other side of the argument is.

Here is an article that has a picture of her at 21 and one at 26.

Doctors say it may have been the long-term use of traditional medicines that caused the condition as they are often spiked with corticoids. These steroids speed up the effects of the unregulated remedies but could also have triggered the rare skin disease mastocytosis, where the body produces too many mast cells.

The difference is quite stunning. It also shows how much we really know about Dermatology.

I'll give you a hint: almost nothing
