« on: October 18, 2016, 10:49:57 am »... no? Read the snopes thing. Like, in full? The source of the drone claim itself was unverifiable, coming from unnamed "sources" in the state department. The "corroborating" emails could be summed up as "cannot into English" in terms of how much they supported the claim. Clinton noting she can't recall even joking about it is tertiary to what makes the claim effectively empty. There's not actually record of her saying it, just some rando claiming she did, and then citing emails as back up evidence that were nothing of the sort.so the article source is her 'not recalling' telling it? she hasn't the best memory these days.well she was on record asking to "drone" him, so there's that.Sigh... http://www.snopes.com/julian-assange-drone-strike/

I mean. If query: god => respond: yes. That's definitely something one agrees with.
Unless you're talking with someone that's successfully practiced deicide, anyway. Then it might not be a good idea. Maybe if however they did it doesn't do much to mortals, I'unno.
Less sure about the conquistador roleplay. I mean, if that's somehow at least three people's thing, then... a'ight then. I've learned new things about some of you.

The question mark was the dead giveaway, actually, smj. I don't think I've met a native english speaker that does the space before the ?. Never really got around to figuring out which language it's being inherited from, though... know french is at least one of them, from talking with ToME's dev, but not sure what others.

« on: October 17, 2016, 06:28:59 pm »It isn't THAT uncommon... But usually it is like... an extra 100 votes or something.Oddly enough, the average for lightning fatalities is around 40-50 a year in the US, with the strikes themselves having around a 9-10% chance to kill. So a hundred extra votes would actually be substantially less common than people getting struck by lightning :V
Cheating of any sort of scale is pretty difficult to do.

... or you can not swallow the hook and wait for folks with more resources to get around to figuring out how badly the guy screwed with the video this time. Sounds like a good idea to me. Better than trusting the video of a known huckster, at least.

« on: October 17, 2016, 05:42:11 pm »Small loan of 500 million dollars... y'know, I'm suddenly curious just how much of the american population/electorate would actually qualify for a million dollar loan. Not even sure how you'd measure that.

The fun part is, if you're worried about it enough, you might qualify for something even if everything else is fine. Good ol' hypochondria. Though apparently it's called somatic symptom disorder, these days.

« on: October 17, 2016, 04:32:06 pm »And what are the chances someone is just false flagging?Non-zero? That's about the best anyone can say at the mo, so far as I'm aware. It's also possible it's intra-party conflict, or just someone that really doesn't like nazis or people who are supporting a candidate spewing at-times-pretty-literal nazi bullshit. Or just some random (possibly drunk) idiot. Won't know until/unless the perp's caught.
It does make me worried that the post-election will not be peaceful.You and everyone else that's paid the least of attention. And molotov induced redecorating aside, we've already seen one bomb plot that was intended to happen the day after the election, stopped. Somewhat unsurprisingly, when a major candidate is encouraging violence and pulling material from extremists (up to and including nazi propaganda), folks get concerned.

« on: October 17, 2016, 02:57:33 pm »It's doing the exact opposite, actually. Adding features rather than taking away. And all customizable.Feature list ain't the problem. Chromium is. Maybe vivaldi's not as bad as your average one, but I ain't going to be trying it to find out. Refuse t'be someone that enables people building off that damn thing by giving them more market penetration.
But yeah, back to the thread topic, heh.
E: Though that article.

Hadn't even heard of it. Screenshots look... chromey, though. Which if it is doing what the main branch opera is, is a deal breaker. Might check it out at some point anyway, I'unno.
E: Ah, no, it looks like it's explicitly chromium based. Fuck that with a hundred pounds of angry flaming badger.
