| getting rid of NN will just make the place more like pay-tv. on the upside, the whole free information/video/porn/music thing was ruining journalism/the film industry/the porn industry/the music industry anyway. It will mean the introduction of more corporate authoritarianism, intended to prevent t... |

| I really don't think anyone is "getting their way". The whole SJW/BLM/Antifa vs. alt-right/white-nationalism is a BS circus sideshow. The same goes for the constant battle between Trump and the media. None of this s**t really matters to people who have real struggles just getting by in lif... |

| Think of politics this way: Whenever any political party goes too far afield for the tastes of their expected supporters, the result is that they will lose. When this is applied to the Democratic Party in the United States, constant protesting will deplete financial resources for the next president... |

| I'd probably find Cenk annoying even if he were a conservaive. He just has that obnoxious personality that I find to be rather grating after a while. The only good thing about it if he were a conservaive is that I could take great pleasure in the fact that he'd be driving liberals up a wall. :P He ... |

| The last thread got derailed and locked, but I'm still interested in what people genuinely think. I'm still taken aback that even making a conjecture that it might have something to do with past racism got me accused of being an "apologist" and anti-white racist. |

| Given that the symptoms of autism include lack of social reciprocity, lack of wanting to point things out or instigate the expression of emotions, I'd say that getting excited is not an autistic trait at all. Not saying autistic people don't ever get excited, but if you are generally "excitabl... |

| It sounds like the Marfa Lights, which I saw as a kid. Sadly, it's been explained. As the ground cools in the evening, it compresses slightly. This compression causes the piezoelectric effect in buried crystals, and that type of electrical discharge may cause lights to appear. Sorry. I really wante... |
