    I'd rather live in a world with fake news than a world where information is controlled (which becomes an echo chamber), to be honest.

    My Paypal account was broken. Paypal's solution after three attempts at fixing it? Delete my account without telling me.

     

    Thanks Paypal.

      Well to be fair it's kind of hard to have a problem with your account of you no longer have one...

      ahaha that's true.

    Definitely, but if fake news is a problem and her campaign was responsible for it, it is their fault he believed in "false news" and got so many others to believe it. If anything, he was just misinformed by Democratic sources. Ah, okay. Thanks for answering me.

    It is that it created the sentiment of negativity on his roots, implying that because of his heritage and his moving around, he's not truly American—of which they sent out anonymously in hopes it would make Americans question his legitimacy without actually being too harsh. Look where it got them though. It sent the worry that he was some Islamic terrorist (because they passed around an image anonymously without context on purpose) and caused mainstream Republicans to push out an image (that Hillary's campaign was responsible for) that he was not a legal U.S citizen....which people now falsely assume was started by Trump. May I ask why Romney?

    After having many PSU fail on me I have to say going all out or for EVGA on the PSU is never a bad idea. Anyways, good build for your son. It'll definitely get him playing Minecraft and WoT (iGPUs have come a long way).

    Well yes, excuse me, I meant her campaign, aides etc. I've gotten into the habit of using her name for it. The memo explicitly goes off his "non-American" roots to weaken his position and presidential run. It then discusses how his mother living in multiple states ("as far as they could tell") is a "cover up" and is "nonsense". They were using this all in an effort to weaken him and turn Americans against him by showing them he "wasn't American" and didn't have the "American values" to lead them. You can see it just with the memo alone. What's the evidence they have to bring forth? And if like minded people create the evidence ("narrative"/confirmation bias) used against "fake news" how can that be trusted? This would be just as dangerous of a solution as just censoring things.

    So if all of those journalists agree that a site is fake or has used fake news (because they feel it is) they alone decide its future? Censorship is not a solution.

    Her campaign was responsible for sending out emails of Obama in a Somali garbs. If you don't mind the link, here. It's got a whole bunch of related information on it. Even from Democratic sources (CNN, MSNBC etc) blasting Hillary for it. http://www.thepoliticalinsider.com/7-news-stories-2008-prove-hillary-started-obama-birtherism/ Trump just ran with what she and her lackeys shat out in '08.

    I agree with the others. Clean off the cards if they're dusty and then test an older driver if you just updated or update to a newer driver if you are on an older one.
  10. Albatross
    No! Not my country! NOT MY COUNTRY! She even started the Birther movement (her campaign sent the info out) to ruin Obama. She's at the tip of the "fake news" iceberg.

    Fake news is a problem, yes, but letting certain people determine what is "fake news" is just as big as a problem. They can just as easily say any source is fake and have it censored or removed. For example, a lot of people claimed the news about Hillary's secret server (and classified information sharing) was "fake news" (hell, even Hillary claimed it!) but look where that got us a few months later. The solution is never censorship of information. If you don't get how that is a problem, not my problem.

    The start of information control and surprise surprise, it is coming from a Democrat that lost. Next they will go after conservative new sites/channels, and then independent until only their voices can be heard. Funnily enough though, fake news comes from Fox News and CNN the majority of the time, but oh, we can't silence DNC controlled media. That'd be wrong!

    I like it! I mean I could do without the red but yea I like it (and dragons). I wouldn't spend $50 on it but still...

    Oh South Korea! Why man, why?

    I saw it in the r/AMD the other day and just got it installed on my computer. I can't wait to test out the Shadowplay alternative. I've been waiting for it since I got my card.
  16. Albatross
    Even if the difference was minimal, I do not agree with turning it off. Maybe that's because I have one of those cards but yea...
  17. Albatross
    Congratz, especially since you are happy about it man. (I find your CPU overclock incredibly impressive...maybe I'm just a newb though.)
  18. Albatross
    Exactly what I was going to express.
  19. Albatross
    Good. I dislike his channel so much.

    I'm already aware so many argue it means or relates only to the government/congress, I'm arguing against it. Believe it or not, I have seen this discussion some times before on this forum with many of the same links. I'm going off of the source and the grammar issued to us. I'm saying that the grammar used is specific in its intention for a reason, regardless of what some yahoos would want it to mean. And a free country and true liberty would not mean restricting people's right to speech to the corruption of a power. It makes no sense with the context, grammar and intentions of our founding fathers for it to mean this.
  21. Albatross
    Highlight the words all you want. It does not make it mean what you want it to mean. They are separated through careful grammar and wording for a reason. As I have said. There are semi-colons separating each issue it directs not that each are separate laws (e.i, it is directing separate issues). The last piece it discusses is the right to petition the government for redress. This is separated by the previous issues, such as the right for people to assemble peacefully. And that is separated yet again by the right of the press and once more by freedom of speech. This is why I said grammar is crucial. The semi-colon is a pause between clauses and you can further understand its role in a sentence by looking at following or proceeding conjunctions. As of how they intended and as by how they used their grammar, the Amendment never states the freedom of speech relates only to the government. EDIT This is why so many lawyers and politicians are arguing whether or not we should amend it to limit freedom of speech so that hate speech (racist remarks) etc are excluded.
  22. Albatross
    None of that [source] specifically states freedom of speech relates only to government. The semi-colons and conjuctions separate the "government" related issues from the other points it covered. EDIT Damn it, keeps posting before I'm done!
  23. Albatross
    The amendment is specific towards a topic, but it does not say it concerns only governmental issues. Grammar plays an important part here and it was made clear the separate issues it directed. Our founding fathers believed in absolute freedom of speech and true liberty. You can't have either of that if it relates only to corruption in power.
  24. Albatross
    Ah! Well, sorry for the misunderstand then.
  25. Albatross
    I just provided it. It was not only about corruption in the government. They made sure to be very clear. I don't care what someone argues about it. The Amendment does not relate only to the discussion of government matters. If it had, they would have been sure to point it out.
