Is it just me or does the IS's besiegement of all those Christians and Yazidis kind of sound like a false flag.

the way fox news talks so fervently about it i wouldn't be surprised, they talk about it like they're the #1 threat to america , the fear mongering effort is at an all time high. one of their anchors said something like "ISIS the first thing americans think of when they wake up in the morning"

the way fox news talks about it you'd think it would be. the fear mongering is at an all time high. one of their anchors even said something like "ISIS is the first thing americans think about when they wake up in the morning" - they're essentially all being paid to sell the idea that ISIS is the new #1 threat to the united states. they want boots on the ground

[Bamyasi]

That was also my impression after watching CNN for about five minutes.

[rtil]

yeah they're not much better, or any other major american media outlet. but fox is the easiest to make fun of because of their obvious shilling

[Bamyasi]

Yeah they're both pretty bad. Maybe CNN's shilling would be more obvious to someone raised in a neoconservative family but I can't really speak to that.

In other news: People who store private files/anything in Apple's iCloud/any cloud proven to be as stupid as they look.

Apple's defense: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Send in the fucking FBI.

icloud is one of the worst backup services, compound on the fact that its pay options get you less features and space for a higher price than other major competitors, it couldn't be a more typical apple product.

maybe this story will start to sway more of the general populace away from the myth that apple products are less prone to being hacked.

I think I would watch Reverse-Racists in Space for a quick half an hour just to see what it's about

You make a valid point. Aliens visited Latin america, parts of Asia, and Egypt but never Rome or Greece? WTF

On the topic of global warming (which isn't real fyi we're all fine 100% good) and in the style of those zombie plan threads, what's your human extinction plan?
Worst Case Scenario: Society collapses in poor societies in about 10 years, in richer societies in about 15, and humans can't survive on earth in 20.
What do?
This is basically a bucket list with a time limit. Also probably should go in a dif thread but w/e.

disgusting

the people on that show are nuts

i mean you'd have to be to go to those lengths

i have no plan for anything like that because i'm hedging my bets on it not happening

[Bamyasi]

On the topic of those leaked celebrity nudes, everyone seems to be (or seemed to have been) discussing the implications; that it was a breach of privacy, that it was theft, a sex crime, etc. No one was questioning whether we should even have celebrities in the first place, or talking about the dehumanizing effects of the public eye, because that would require, you know, actual critical thinking and examining of the status quo. Like, I mean it's the internet. If people just wanted to see iliac crests, they could find far more attractive ones elsewhere.

most of the news outlets crying foul over the leaks are hypocrites anyway. they're just mad because the leakers didn't give them exclusive access to the images first but instead leaked it for free so the gossip bloggers couldn't squeeze it for all it's worth. not only that but they're the ones who generate that kind of celebrity culture with the paparazzi and wanton invasion of celebrities' private lives in almost every other facet, but suddenly when they're not the ones doing it it's bad. they're more scum than those hackers will ever be. at least the hackers gave apple a reality check.
