Sooo... Did Trump actually cancel?  I mean, it seems like its all going as planned. 


I'd say this is confusing but it's really not.  Its just Trump.

Trump: I'm canceling the summit cause NK got angry.NK/SK: We're still meeting.
Trump: Yeah, we're probably maybe still meeting.
It's like he's trying to play hard to get or assert dominance like a jackass.  The old "I did something I didn't want to do just to show that I could and force you to beg me to undo it."

In order to keep from being wrong, Trump will retroactively fire pottinger.

I like how Republicans went from "See how amazing Trump is at diplomacy" to "North Korea is crazy and Trump did the right thing by not meeting with them.
I don't think that's such an insane position to hold. Trump was "amazing at diplomacy" when he got North Korea to say they'd comply (and, if reports are to be believed, they did start to dismantle their nuclear testing facilities). Now "North Korea is crazy" because they did a U-turn and are resorting to "haha ur STUPID" levels of diplomacy.

Was the initial willingness of DPRK to comply a coincidence, a show of Trump's competence, or just another one of KJU's plots? It's hard to tell, but you could at least argue that Trump had a part in it. Does that mean that he should now proceed with meeting someone who's no longer willing to meet his end of the deal? Absolutely not.
In fairness, North Korea did not U-turn on their compliance.  They got angry when SK and the US did a military excersise on their doorstep AND when The vice President said that NK could go the same route of Lybia, which means "We'll overthrow your goverment and have you publically executed."  I'm no expert on diplomacy, but that sounds like something to get angry about.  I mean, Trump would be, so why should we suddenly hold them to higher standards then Trump?

1. Yay for free speech.
2. Guess Trump won't get that Nobel Peace Prize.

Once again, Trump has fucked over America's credibility on the world stage.

Technology & Information / Re: Facebook wants your naked photos
« on: May 23, 2018, 02:06:21 PM »
Lots of people send naked photos over Facebook already. I don't think there's a difference between doing that and sending one directly to them, considering they keep everything they come into contact with regardless.

It's still pretty weird to ask for them. I wonder how many will actually send them. Probably more than we think.
Surely the solution is to scan an image before upload, and if it has genitals in it (we have the technology for that), refuse the upload. IE don't have it on the database and dont let people (especially children) publish pron on FB or SC. If you can recognise a face, you can recognise and PP or a VJ.

If you read the article, they're supposedly looking to stop revenge porn. That means they need to know what your genitals look like, specifically, in order to stop similar images. They're not looking at blocking pornography entirely.
But it won't work. They are matching image for image.

You uploaded a .png? Fine, I'll resave it as jpeg. Or add an 80% compression. Or add a light filter. Or add noise. Or just hit prt sc and save that. It isn't going to work in the slightest.

I'm going to have to take some now so I can send them to them :(
Send them to me instead. I absolutely promise they won't end up in CN.
Well, in fairness, the hashing could be their own format that they take the raw data from an image and reencode it into the hash.
But this just... I mean, facial recognition is probably better.  Just whitelist who can share your face.  Anyone not on the list can't upload the picture.

I still don’t get why people think it was exhaustion but hey, they’re allowed to be wrong.
m8 then how did he die?
Same reason Yoda did?"It was his time"?
I mean, the whole point of Balance is, quite literally: One sith for every Jedi.  That's the main point they hammer home.  Even snoke said it.So once snoke died, Luke was on his way out.  Rey just needed to become the Jedi she was meant to be and then Luke was like "Alright, I'm done.  I'mma go the way of old Ben."
((Also:The stab was nothing.  He was literally a figment of everyone's imagination.  A distraction.  It was taxing but the actual stab didn't do anything.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi

I liked it and don't understand the hate.  They undid Midichlorines.  What's not to love about that?

How does a party, that consists almost entirely of religious people, put forth things the religious community doesn't approve of?
Some are more tolerant/less religious than others, I'd guess.  Explain how you can be pro-abortion and religious.  Pro-gay marriage and Christian.

I wouldn't define Democrats as pro-abortion. I know plenty of people who are pro-choice, but still personally believe abortion without medical necessity is wrong. I also wouldn't define pro-choice as pro-abortion.

The same deal with gay marriage. Many people believe that gays should have the choice to be married, not that they think it's the right thing to do.
Yeah, that's fair.  Poor choice of words on my part.
Point is, giving people the choice is the same as advocating that it's ok to choose that choice.  Thus, Democrats are saying "Yes, the choice to have an abortion is not an evil choice to make".

You didn't but you seem to be putting forth that both parties keep with the traditional nuclear family and don't promote any legislation that accepts anything other than that.

Both parties do promote legislation to keep the traditional nuclear family. It's why both, for example, protect, endorse, and continue to increase benefits for married couples.
Yes but when you promote that Gays should be allowed to marry, then "married couples" is no longer guarenteed to be the traditional nuclear family.

I was using "anti-religious" as "We put forth things that the religious community doesn't approve of" and not "We hate all religions" or whatever it is you think I meant.

So what?  Democrats rally against non-nuclear family models?  They try to push legislation to ban adoption by homosexual couples?

I didn't say anything like that.

mfw money paid to a prostitute continues to be worth mentioning


Money paid to shut up a prostitute who wasn't an actual prostitute but a gold digger.
Also, coming from the party of God and morality and traditional family values.

Both political parties are mostly religious, pro-morality and traditional family values. I don't think there's a popular pro-immoral party or an anti-family party or an anti-god party in America.
Pushing for Same-Sex Marriage - Democrats.
This is both anti-religious and anti-traditional family values.


Same sex couples adopting.  Transgender rights.
Both are also non-traditional families and largely go against the religious community.  And if ya ain't loving God, ya ain't a moral person.

What? Neither of those things are "anti-religious" and there are many churches in the US that marry same-sex couples. Your idea of the "religious community" seems to be completely different from reality.

Both Democrats and Republicans are a super majority of Christians. They're both religious parties. Neither one of them is anti-religious or anti-family, lol.
Homosexuality is literally a sin. (to Christians, Muslims and Jews)
Anti-Religious doesn't mean "We wanna get rid of god"(Though they do champion taking down religious things in governmet buildings) but "We wanna implement policy that the religious community would, as a whole, find sinful."

Also: The pope has said that marrying same sex couples is not allowed.  That's an entire sect of Christianity against it.

Also: I said non-traditional families.  Non-Traditional means 2 Dads, 2 Moms, A transgender parent, stuff like that.  Last time I checked, The republican Party does not think such things are a good idea.  Especially for child adoption.

When does the servers get unplugged and no money refunded?

Maybe in 20-30 years when the game is reaching the end of its life.
I would be shocked if it lasted 20 years.
