Episode 3 of season 6 is such an outlier. Too much romance for the Simpsons audience apparently.

The task manager in win 8 wouldn't stay/come on top if there was a frozen program. This would make the new task manager unusable to kill the problem program. And then the half-assed solution of preemptively enabling always on top did not even work reliably. A pretty fundamental issue, which for me far outweighed whatever improvements that new task manager contained.

I think we really underestimate the amount of trolling that professional trolls do, I don't think the amount of useful idiots online is that big. While the Russian IRA was knocked offline during the 2018 usa elections, I found that the discourse on reddit was radically different. Subreddits like walkaway or the Donald were suddenly absent from my front page and discussions seemed more civil.

A professional working a 9-5 job of making troll posts, who is using professional tools, who has scores of accounts and spreadsheets with prepared talking points that are based on data analysis, who is working to hit kpi, ... That single professional is able to make a lot more posts and have a much bigger impact than a large group of geezers shitposting on their smartphones.

I think many consider witness intimidation to be a big thing. Threatening judges/advocates/... is big, doxing their families as a form of intimidation goes beyond even that. They should have never let them (not just Trump, but also others who were making threats or encouraging others to make threats) get away with it.

That it gets a pass as "not bad enough" is indicative of how far the USA civil society has fallen.

Those sites do need ddos protection, so it's no surprise that they use a very popular one. Not everyone is a tech wizard of the highest order, so I really can't fault their web masters for using what's easy and convenient.

Someone who uses degoogled chromium over tor is also more than tech savvy enough to know what to do if they want to check out a website behind cloudflare. These "demographics" are not being excluded, ATM they're just being inconvenienced.

I do agree that we need better browsing neutrality, I just don't think haranguing individual websites is the way to go about it.

Which demographics are being blocked?

I can enter their websites just fine from an anonymous browser and I'm not in Belgium atm.

A recurring theme with hard brexiteers was that making "short term" sacrifices was worth it for "reclaiming sovereignty", which would magically lead to more prosperity in the "long term". To some, (others) being worse off than before, is a price they'd gladly (let others) pay if it would allow "their team" to score a victory.

In the Usa there's people cheering for Russia, for the downfall of USA democracy and for Trump to be king. These are such extreme standpoints that it's hard to believe that they would be serious, but when you see them on camera, then it's obvious that they are true believers and that they're not being sarcastic. If those people are real, then I can easily imagine some spiteful british person saying unironically that being worse off now, is a sacrifice that they're willing to make for "reclaiming sovereignty". Especially if it's online and they actually live and work in Sint-Petersburg.

In a world where The Onion cannot make up news that is crazier than the actual news, irony is always going to have hard time.

There are people who actually believe what you had posted, so without additional cues that it's intended as sarcasm (like starting with Hur Dur or ending with /s), it's anyone's guess what you actually meant. In person sarcasm works better because we can easily add physical cues, but on the internet it's best made very obvious imo.

By blindly supporting Israel, Germany is making themselves complicit in all crimes committed by Israel. Because of how blindly and willfully Germany is walking into helping with the in progress ethnic cleansing, the slogan "never again" has never sounded so empty to me before.

You were too stupid to realize that vans exist in many forms and configurations until I showed you that they did. You calling me stupid is not very convincing.

Nope, that question again goes way beyond your earlier disingenuous questions, you've the most the goalposts even further this time. So yeah, go waste your own time.

You should be more honest with yourself though. The only reason that you act like a vanity truck is a better utility vehicle than a van, is your ego. All your disingenuous trolling just helps to underline the point that's it not about which vehicle is actually most suitable for the job, it's all about satisfying that ego.

And there is nothing wrong with satisfying ego, everyone makes purchases that might not be the most practical, but which are simply more fun too them. But when you do, you don't have to make a fool out of yourself by pretending that your decision was based on practicality while everyone can see that it's about vanity.

I've done my part, you're the one moving the goal posts. The burden of proof now falls onto you.
