so you're basically redefining a term to suit your own needs.

Last I checked "meddling" was not legal terminology.

I'm sorry, that's my bad for using the wrong word.

Do you believe that Russians interfered in the 2016 election?

if this entire back and forth has been hairsplitting over "meddle" vs "interfere" then just lmao

Because I don't consider trolling on Facebook to be "meddling" in any meaningful way.

hair splitting aside, they conducted cyber attacks in an effort to manipulate the outcome of the election.

This is precisely why government officials aren't allowed to conduct their business on private servers. Precisely why. Getting access into a person's private email server is a crime, but it's not to be construed with hacking the election.

Hillary and all the DNC idiots who knew about it are to blame for the hack. All the hackers did was reveal the DNC's dirty laundry and the fact that people care more about their side losing than how the party they support is a cesspool of corrupt bottomfeeders is legitimately terrifying.

Giant_Aspirin posted...

you're deflecting. is that because you can't answer?

Why should I feel bad about the emails getting stolen when the DNC are the ones who mishandled their information in the first place.

No one actually "hacked" the server by the way, Podesta fell for a phishing scam and unwittingly gave the password away. The "Russians" are guilty of stealing the emails in the same way a guy finding a wad of cash someone carelessly dropped was stealing.

so why do you continue to insist there was "no meddling" despite the indictments that came out today that confirm exactly that? why won't you answer that question? why do you keep deflecting instead of answering?

edit: and i especially enjoy see you respond to "why are you deflecting?" with a two paragraph deflection.

I can't see how you're not alarmed by all the unbelievably shady shit revealed in those emails that "your side" was up to!

but for the record, i do think the shit Hilary did during the Democrat primaries surrounding Bernie was despicable. i never really cared for Hilary and that just made my dislike of her stronger.

All you are doing when you say things like this is shutting down any meaningful way of preventing mass shootings in the future

What progress is going to be made by going, "see its just the conservatives fault!". All it does is entrench the other side and force them to dig in.

Turning it into a us vs them thing is the dumbest thing you can do. Unite behind the tragedy to find a solution rather than point fingers and say nuh-uh it's your fault!

while i really would love to agree with this, the solution is going to be inherently political because it must be done via legislation

for even attempting to interfere. i dont get why you're defending Russia here.

Because trolling on Facebook can't possibly be construed as "interference" except by hysterical anti-Trump people.

You know the DNC actually pays people to troll online, right? In exactly the way Russia supposedly did? Look up "Correct The Record". But wait I guess it's ok when a US political party attempts to "interfere" with the election, huh?

they also orchestrated the hack of the DNC and released a bunch of data specifically with the intention of influencing the election. i can't see how you're not alarmed by a foreign adversary doing this --- oh right because it benefited your side.

i have no problem with the DNC messing with American politics because they're part of American politics. nice try tho

there are 13 indictments handed out today that confirm Russia *did* meddle and here you are, insisting they didn't because you're one of those extremist cases i was talking about earlier.

Has anyone tried Salt and Sanctuary? It's half off on Steam, it looks neat but I'm not too sure.

i really enjoyed it. gave it a 4/5.

it's similar to HK in that it's a 2D action/platformer but with more RPG elements (you build a character) and less exploration / backtracking to find stuff.

STR builds dominate

a foreign power, especially one as adversarial as Russia, meddling in our democracy isn't alarming to you?

The most damning allegation made so far is that they attempted to breach state level election systems. Were they even successful in that? I'll allow that that is a big deal, but so much attention has been given to Facebook pages that reached 146 people and makeshift rallies attended by even fewer.

i think the principal that Russia state-sponsored interference in our electoral process, period, is alarming and we should stand up for ourselves.

the question wasn't about whether Trump or his staff colluded, you know. it's about whether Russia meddled, which is pretty much universally accepted except by a few extremists. case in point, i guess?

That said, I don't think it's an overreaction to tell someone you don't like something. That's called communication.

that is true. how will the server know if nobody tells her? but like with all communication, how you communicate is almost as important as what you communicate. i think my boss was about as polite as possible, though.

If a female, I'm assuming it was probably a middle-aged server and that was just the norm for them, so that'd be an overreaction.

the server stopped by and asked us something and referred to my boss as "sweetie". my boss immediately interrupted her and said "excuse me, i really do not like being called that" and the server was like ".... sorry?" and my boss said "sweetie. you called me 'sweetie' and i really do not appreciate that. please don't do that again".

do you think she overreacted? how do you feel about being called 'pet' (sweetie, hon, dear, etc) names by strangers?

yeah Mal, I concede. only Liberals are closed minded while Conservatives are the bastions of free thought and never dismiss ideas without giving them fair consideration. you got me.

Sarcasm won't change that you can't find a single instance of right-wingers doing this.

even if i did, what would that accomplish other than fueling the ever pointless and bullshit partisan divide that's getting worse and worse? besides, you'd find some reason to oppose the evidence i presented because it goes against your narrative.

making blanket statements about the opposition serves no constructive purpose and is just a substitute for actual critical thinking for the intellectually lazy.

back to my original point: we all get defensive when our beliefs are not challenged. for you to assert that Conservatives are universally somehow immune to this basic human function is laughable and i know you're smarter than that. sometimes you can make some interesting points and sometimes you spout absolutely bullshit partisan stuff like this and i just dont even
