and gameplay as balanced as a Fox News political report.
-
*adds the point I was making to the ever-increasing list of points @boomzilla appears to be deliberately misinterpreting*
-
So you didn't mean to say that a Fox News political report was horribly unbalanced? That's how I interpreted it. How was I supposed to interpret it? Why do you think I deliberately misinterpreted it?
Anyways, that was another minor rant for me: people talking about things they don't really know anything about but they heard the cool kids saying it so they want to be cool, too.
-
Are you really so desperate not to get the spoon back you're going to try and provoke me at every opportunity? Because that's what it looks like right now.
-
What are you talking about? Look, you said something dumb and I called you on it. Now you're having a tantrum because you said something silly. Why should I feel bad about that?
Or are you deliberately misinterpreting everything I say? ( , because I couldn't resist after you've inexplicably accused me of this several times)
-
It's well known that Fox News is horribly biased, yet I'm the stupid one for making a joke based on that.
Oh, and I just looked at the latest @shadowmod stats. Enjoy your fucking badge.

Hey Guys (@boomzilla , @raceprouk). Get a room or take it out side, people are trying to work around here :)

/me gets the popcorn
long as they invite me i'm good either way.

Thank you for proving my point.
Enjoy your fucking badge.

Team building! That's what it is. Team building
"...what harms us, makes us stronger..." or something like that.
-
Thank you for proving my point.
They're a news corporation, of course they are fucking biased.
Fox is biased! MSNBC is biased! CBS is biased! NPR is biased! El Reg is biased! the Sun is biased! the daily planet is biased!
it's a matter of knowing the biases of each news source and averaging their stories together then applying correction factors based on the individual biases of the individual news sources.

I haven't proved a damn thing you said.Now fuck off.
-

Their actual reporting is damn good, even though one of their main anchors is screamingly liberal. They have lots of opinion shows, too, and this is what people are often referring to, but mostly they don't really know because they're just repeating what others have hear.
I haven't proved a damn thing you said.
@Ronald Reagan said:
It isn't so much that liberals are ignorant. It's just that they know so many things that aren't so.
Now fuck off.
What's your deal lately?

What's your deal lately?
Your apparent desire to engage me in as many pointless idiotic flamewars as possible

If you don't want people to talk to you, stop talking. You seem surprised that I call out these little statements of ignorance when I see them. No matter what you think, you're not being singled out. If you want to keep out of "idiotic flamewars" then stop saying idiotic things.

after Anger, there is Bargaining...

Did I say I was? No.Now fuck off.

Now fuck off.
-

didn't say that it wasn't. All I said was that it has a bias. i made no claims about the direction or severity of that bias.
;-)

I so want to go over and monitor the "Emergency Cute Things" thread....
-
GUYS! Please take the major rants off elsewhere…

We need some trigger warnings on that whole "criticizing Fox News" thing. Poor @boomzilla.

Honest criticism is good. I've done it myself.
Poor @boomzilla.
It's OK. I'm good.

Snort. Unlike MSNBC, who's actually horribly biased, and whose reporters do stupid shit like wear tampon earrings or the time Dana Milbank or whoever wore that traffic vest.
-

Most liberals think that all the rest of the organizations aren't biased, but only Fox is. Here's the truth: Fox is center-right, all the other TV news channels are center-left to very left.
-
I never claimed MSNBC aren't biased, only that Fox are

her
*snort*. I dunno if you meant it this way or not but somehow this seems like some kind of triple-troll.
ETA: I worded that badly: I assume you did not, in fact, mean it in such a way, to wit, "I'm using your preferred pronoun ironically".
-

well obviously. for them all the other news sources report what they want to hear.
i dislike the left almost as much as the right, i like to sit over here at √(-1) personally
-
I [...], only [claimed] that Fox are [biased.]
I know. But how I changed your sentence is how an American liberal generally thinks. Or, rather, that they claim only Fox is biased, if you see the difference in those two statements.
If you can't see where you're wrong (I'm not talking about you specifically, or necessarily even in general, btw, here) you can't be right.
-
-
as in "abolish all private property"?
It's a virtual certainty some people in some of those organizations feel that way. (No doubt, except their property, of course.)

I had to use another PC 'cos somebody wanted to use my machine. Then I noticed my machine was still notifying me about the
irreverenceirrelevant stuff happing here (how would it know I was not there?) So I went back to it and logged myself out. Then I discovered that I had been logged out of this one too.
-
Then I discovered that I had been logged out of this one too.
Known issue. Logging out one session logs out all the others.

-
That's certainly brillant.
Must be Paula's doing. Time to get her downsized from the Staff methinks

Didn't some people around here complain about it not doing that and then they made it so it did? I don't recall the details, but I'm pretty sure it initiated here...something about password resets maybe?
-
I have no idea what you are talking about.
-
Ah, here we go:
So...like I said, I misremembered some details. It now logs you out when you reset a password...everywhere, just like the normal Logout does.
-
Indeed, like I said, I have no idea what you're talking about.
-
ok then
-
Ah, here we go:
Yup. Resetting password should invalidate all sessions. Logging out should only affect the single session being logged out.
As I said, known issue.

Determining the appropriate solution based on outcomes alone is like saying, "look, this stick of dynamite stops cancer".

Why does Discourse keep putting old topics in the suggested topics list? Why suggest I might want to take part in a topic if as soon as I try you're going to spring a toaster on me strongly suggesting that I go away and never come back?
It's not some minor mismatch between the toaster setting and the suggested topics, some of them are positively archaeological. I got one today that hadn't been replied to in a shade under a decade.
-
If there is nothing unread, I think the algorithm just puts random stuff there.
-
Why does Discourse keep putting old topics in the suggested topics list?
Because it always puts
topics there.
No idea what the algorithm bz mentions does, and CBA to find out.
