Reformatting InfoWars as a serious, unironic branch of the Onion that deals with misinformation would just be great.

This is just the difference between science and academia.

That's what the article says and nothing about the title conflicts with it. These are all pretty basic concepts that should be taught early.

change log: We've adjusted the 20 year old UI to better reflect modern aesthetic trends that our new hires learned in school.

I've dropped websites over less.

After electing Bush II twice? It never was.

5 minutes. I don't live in a swing state and go during work hours, so that might effect it.

I was just picking up food at a gas station and had a woman stair me in the eyes and ask me if I believed in god. I thought she may have been setting up for a joke about the touch screen, but when she just asked again and I silently walked away. She then moved onto another person and I waited for my food to be finished outside. When I came back in, she had cornered an employee. There was a trump rally outside, so I do believe that she was more likely to have been an evangelical over something else.

Yeah, I just checked. I can see my own dislikes. They hide the number directly, but I can see how many likes I have and the ratio of likes to unlikes.

Also, the creators that I follow didn't like having the dislikes removed. Even if they did, I can make my own judgement calls. I'm sure the creators who are more dependent on sponsorships like not having their embarrassments visible. I'm sure IH doesn't mind that stuff not being visible for "his" hole video.

Except that the uploader can still see the downvote count. It was just removed so that corporations wouldn't be embarrassed when they put out an unpopular trailer or product.

There's a long list of historic examples of people who actual are what the techbros fantasy about being. I was limiting myself to living examples of people who were just interested in the tech. Carmack's comments when he left facebook was fun to see. I always thought he was better then that company.

When Google removed the dislikes from youtube videos, one of the lies they told was it was for the users(or uploader's) mental health.

 

I'm in a catch 22 situation. I want to go to a four year college, but I was previously placed in the remedial track and have a poor academic standing. If I go to a community college, I could improve my grades, but the material they cover is a replacement for high school classes and I'd be precluded from signing up for entry classes at the four year college. This seems like to would put me at a disadvantage when that finally happened and I would only be setting myself up for long term failure.

I'd consider CC if I could "transfer" in as a freshman to a four year, but the colleges I looked into all have rules against applying as a freshman if you have two years worth of credits. When I tried CC, the material was absolutely high school level just with smaller font in the textbooks.

 

I've been seeing a lot of usernames formatted "[lowercase][fourdigits]" or "user-[randomletternumbers]".

Normally, I'd assume that that just means the name was already taken and the numbers are manually entered to make it unique, but the formatting is too consistent. Is that something google is doing automatically?

The other one is real weird. Is that something some proxy sites are doing for anonymous posting?
