That comment was to the commenter above that starts right in with “TDS” since the accuser is actually the afflicted.
one should be able to simply link and quote an editorial or editorialized(IE Washington post) article and not themselves explain why it’s relevant
WookieMan saysWhat does this even mean? Honest question....Does the part I just added offer any help?
This place causes cognitive dissonance. It then becomes a free for all of ideas and "evidence". I've watched heads explode.
I'll send you a copy if you send me your email, but I don't want to get legally entangled. Limits my options, might be used to shut down the site, and a friend warned me about unwittingly accumulating "business partners". That was actually the basis of the Winklevosses suit against Zuckerberg iirc.
That is, I don't mind it being open source, but I want to keep the copyright.
you can gleen a wealth of knowledge by considering what subjects are NOT presented
1992 Los Angeles riots- The CA National Guard is used to quell riots in the aftermath of the acquittal of four LAPD officers accused of beating Rodney King
Could it be that wookie doesn’t agree that a no-limit investment has been made to create 2 different sets of basic facts in our country?
I'm grateful to that guy. He was one of my mentors when I was an engineer.And he never got trolled
I avoid stilted language, I dislike that too. Maybe I end up being terse when using the iPhone. That does influence me different from the computer.
All true, but the next level was taken by the right wing which is to constantly elevate conspiracies and other lies.\
You can end up arguing all day whether shit is brown. They consistently claim that you are talking nonsense and comment on people like you, your mother, your age, size, employment, sex life, IQ, ad infinitum.
richwicks saysSo - wow. You don't realize that conspiracies do happen!I think that consuming conspiracy theories every day is like picking your nose and eating it.
Go ahead.
richwicks saysyou still contend conspiracies don't exist.Dude, really?
Go ahead. It takes no effort and makes you feel harder, feel smarter and “in the know”
I believe in "naturally occurring" conspiracies, in which a group of businessmen decide it's in their interest to secretly manipulate the market or the public or the laws.
richwicks saysDo you believe in conspiracies within the government, what some people would deride as "conspiracy theories"?Sometimes yes, mostly no.
Yes or no?
We got people making up shit every day and it’s lucrative too. They’re making millions per year just lying and pushing people’s buttons.
I read an article by a programmer that would make up a conspiracy every day and sell it and earn more than he could by programming.
Almost like saying “Do you believe you can win a contest and get notified by email?”
I find it suspicious that WTC7 collapsed without being struck by a plane, and the only explanation is fires - also the BBC reported if collapsed 20 minutes before it did, also Larry Silverstein said on television they they "made the decision to pull it", and Silverstein took out additional insurance on the WTC complex just months before it was destroyed - I suspect shenanigans
Do you know what Operation Ajax/the Gulf of Tonkin/Insert proven conspiracy of the government here/Project MKUltra was?
Are there banned words on patrick.net?
Here's a conspiracy I believe because no news show ever mentioned a word about the possibility that a prescription drug side effect caused Robin Williams' death. The possibility of truth of harmful prescription drug was never mentioned so that looks very suspicious to me.
However I think it is rare that you catch MSM in a baldfaced lie
then also there are a lot of wannabe sites that are not so funded such as thebitchute
@marcus you got your wish, now there is a list of newslinks. It's the first external link in each post.
Thanks. I like it.
You sure cranked that out quick.
I'll sign an NDA if you like. I don't mind signing one. I want to develop some ideas, and I want to keep those ideas, but I don't want to develop code from scratch, and I'd be happy to share the ideas once I do proof of concept. I intend to patent a few but I'll share the rights to you, if any can be patented. If they can't, of course, they are just yours.
You should create a copyright header in the source. Email isn't secure unless you encrypt it. If you're working with Linux, zip uses AES256.
I think I have a way to eliminate propaganda and spam. That's my idea I want to develop - and I think the method will work to truly make propaganda and spam impossible. My cousin is a patent attorney (a good one) but he won't waste time helping somebody draw up a patent without proof of concept and some sort of business plan, and a portion of the take on profits.
I understand that, I'm an sw engineer. I won't spend 10 minutes on somebody's "great idea".
They get rich by actually building the thing, providing value, and getting people to pay.
But if you just want to work on ideas, why not use the Wordpress code? It's out there and well polished.

@Patrick - is there any way to post a private message here, just to one person?

@richwicks No, I thought about it, and for a while had a "friend" function which would expose your email address to another user. Maybe I should bring that back.
The main problem with private communication on this site is that users will literally threaten each other with physical violence over that channel, and then I have to deal with the police.
How about just a way for two users to agree to share email addresses?
@richwicks Which other user do you want to have your email address? I can send it to him.
the intelligence agencies and the press conspired against Trump
As for the media, I've even heard avowed long term liberals remark on how the press seems to have dropped all pretense of impartiality and makes faces now when talking about Trump. I expect their owners tell them what to say, but they also probably don't get hired or remain employed if they don't like being entirely one-sided.
I honestly cannot figure out what is going on with that, unless they think they can get some credibility that way
The cops are allowing criminals to run wild. They're doing this because it will cause "the right" to demand a crackdown on criminality. They will crackdown, but they will crackdown on the people that want systemic change - like getting maniac cops out of the policing business.
I don't trust Fox News, but I have to admit that they don't always support Trump, which makes them look more impartial than the mainstream media like NPR and the NY Times, which always reports negative news about Trump no matter what he does.
There are clearly people at Fox who don't like him.
Patrick - did my last post disappear?
Anyhow, if you are comfortable with doing it, I can give you a website to connect to. It will just be a pure HTML page describing quickly what I intend to do.
Email is entirely monitored today. If I send you a link, immediately, I will detect a connection to the link made by google, or yahoo, or somebody. The solution around this is that
1) I send an email with the link
2) I create the link
I can see in apache logs who is connected This means I can see your IP address as well - full disclosure. If I send you an email describing what I intend to do, it will be certainly intercepted. There is absolutely no privacy with email today.
Essentially what I'm working on is making a secure, private, internet, impossible to datamine. Creating a website would just running a program on a computer connected to the Internet. No application for a URL, no need for a server outside of your control.
Although it use...

So no more pictures of Trump as an insane clown or talk of his being raped by Putin. That does not address his policies specifically and helps nothing. It just divides us.
And no more phrases like "liberals". That immediately eliminates the possibility of a liberal wanting to have a polite discussion of his point of view here. Again, it just divides us.
We need unity, not more division. E pluribus unum.
I'm just going to flag posts and comments I find to be stirring up hate and division. Don't worry, you'll know what that means, and the author will be able to click the "edit" button to see just what it was that got the post or comment flagged. It will be clear and fair.
Yes, it's a kind of censorship, but my hope is that it will make this site more useful to people of good will who really want to understand their fellow citizens and improve life. While the MSM routinely censors "offensive" ideas like the Red Pill theory, or our innate differences by sex and race, I'm not going to do that. All ideas are still open for discussion in a civil manner. The tag-line "Freedom to Offend" was not being understood as I intended. It seemed to be generating posts that were deliberately and angrily offensive.
Sorry if it seems like the food-fight is over. Everyone is still very welcome to have their say, just treat others as you would wish to be treated, including other political parties and public figures, and you'll still be able to make any point you want.
