Don't insult UNI by calling it the Harvard of the Cedar River. It is the Princeton of the Prairie and too fine of an educational institute to be denigrated by calling it the Harvard of anything.kalm wrote: ↑Wed May 13, 2020 7:34 pmYou went to the Harvard of the gawd damn Red Cedar River.

Well, I'm not a tenth grader and I didn't go to a good goddamn school. I did read that book a long, long time ago but didn't remember that detail so I had to google it. And Houndawg isn't as sensitive as a goddamn toilet seat, he's as tough as a goddamn virus that is sitting on a gas station toilet seat. So thhhhbbbttt!![]()

I suppose that’s better than being The Penn of the Prairie.



That's Iowa State.

You went to the Harvard of the gawd damn Palouse. Hold your head up high, man!


and a proud alum of the Harvard of the Heartland.

Harvard of the Heartland. But with better football.

I meant to read the others way back in the day after reading Enders Game when it was serialized in Omni magazine. Orson Scott card is probably my favorite bigot after LBJ.
Ender cryo-sleeps his way around the galaxy, as a “Speaker for the Dead”... a kind of galactic boomer, guilt ridden about what he did to the Buggers. He also finds a place for the Bugger Queen (who talks to him) to create her new hive.
There is also a really good story about an alien culture where the beings have two-phased lives... first as little pig looking animals, then as trees after they die
It is a grand epistle on cultural understanding
And it is high fiction because 99.693 percent of humans would never get it

Exactly. He's going to punish someone for stepping up to him. What a choad.

I think people stepping up to him is great, but Twitter doing it is going to be problematic and let's be honest, this probably plays into Trump's hand more than it hurts him. He can certainly run on an idea that the establishment is out to stop him and what better way to demonstrate that then pointing to Twitter selectively targeting him. And even more so at a time when it can distract from the Covid-related job performance issues.

Unfortunately for the Donald (and us).....Covid is not going away by Election Day. That's a YUGE difference from any and all other *temporary* distractions, news stories and made-up shit.GannonFan wrote: ↑Fri May 29, 2020 9:25 amI think people stepping up to him is great, but Twitter doing it is going to be problematic and let's be honest, this probably plays into Trump's hand more than it hurts him.

Leaving his comments/reasons aside, I think it is a good time to have the discussion on weather or not Twitter and other social media platforms should enjoy the distinct liability exemptions they have when they are functioning more along the lines of a distributor than a platform from a product standpoint.

One of my Law School classmates claims to have authored some or all of Section 230 and is carpet-bombing FB with posts on why the executive order is constitutional. I have no dog in the Section 230 fight, but the order is a Rube Goldberg contraption.Winterborn wrote: ↑Fri May 29, 2020 10:00 amLeaving his comments/reasons aside, I think it is a good time to have the discussion on weather or not Twitter and other social media platforms should enjoy the distinct liability exemptions they have when they are functioning more along the lines of a distributor than a platform from a product standpoint.

today I stopped using bakeries altogether (a euphemism for the fact that I deleted my twitter and instagram accounts today). Can’t take the constant stupidity displayed on there anymore. And don’t even get me started on what OTHER people post.Chizzang wrote: ↑Fri May 29, 2020 1:15 pmuse a different bakeryWinterborn wrote: ↑Fri May 29, 2020 10:00 am

What used to be relegated to weird corners of family parties or the obscure comment sections in online newspapers that no one read anyway, has just ballooned to disastrous proportions with the real breakthrough of social media. Ignorant people, on both sides of the aisle, are now able to hear the echo chamber they want of other similar ignorant people and like feedback through an amplifier, it just gets louder and louder. And the fact that even the monumentally stupid can find other people who agree with them just makes it even worse as it just reinforces whatever crazy notion they had. Trump is just an outcome of this quagmire, and heck, I'd even argue that the caricature that Obama became late in his term and now is an outcome as well. No idea where we're heading with all of this, but it sure does feel like the nose is pointing down and we're gaining speed.
