The expanded writing symbols is fine, but this is unnecessary bloat.

long term leader keeps his people in fear, so like coddled children they will stay and follow papa putin's every word.

Hello, remember us?
The ones you left behind
When half the Earth was burning,
And all the sky was blind?
You lords of wealth and power
Who made the missiles fly,
Remember how you hid yourselves
And left us here to die?

Hello, remember us?
No doubt you she'd a tear
Before you took yourselves below
And left us standing here.
Now aren't you pleased to see us,
So many still alive?
Or did you hope to find a world
Where only you survived?

Hello, remember us?
We sure remember you!
Remember how our world was
And what you brought it to?
And when the dead were buried,
The dust all cleared away,
We set ourselves about your door
And waited for this day.

Hello, remember us?
It seems we're hard to kill.
Though more than half were slaughtered,
Then enough are living still.
And if now we don't obey you,
Why should you find it strange?
We lived this long without you,
And we see no need to change.

Hello, remember us?
We swear that this is true.
Whatever world remains through us,
It will not go to you.
We know what dreams you harbored.
Come kiss them all goodbye.
Come up and claim your kingdom now.
Come out, stand up, and die.

I think I would've heard something about that, seeing that I'm living in Moscow right now.

Also, why are there more irrelevant pictures than text in that "article"?

>“The bottom line is that the information you share with your broadband provider is yours,” Wheeler said in a blog post on the FCC’s website Thursday. “With the FCC’s new privacy protections, you will have the right to determine how it’s used.”

>The proposal is scheduled to be voted on by the FCC at its Oct. 27 meeting and are likely to be approved because Wheeler and his fellow Democrats have a majority.

>The new rules would apply only to broadband providers, which are under the FCC’s oversight, and not to individual websites or social networks, the agency said.

>Consumer advocates welcomed the new privacy restrictions, even though they were not as stringent as Wheeler originally proposed.

>“The proposed rules will, for the first time, require broadband providers to actually ask consumers for permission before exploiting sensitive private information and tracking them online,” said Harold Feld, senior vice president for the digital rights group Public Knowledge.

>John Simpson, director of the privacy project for the Consumer Watchdog advocacy group, said he was happy that the proposal has a broad definition of sensitive information that includes a person’s Web browsing history, which is particularly valuable data.

>“I would have preferred that they not make that distinction [between sensitive and non-sensitive information] and that they treat all data as something that needs to be ‘opt-in,’” he said. “However, what they have done is a tremendous step forward.”
...

>Wheeler’s proposal expands on the the Federal Trade Commission’s definition of sensitive information, which includes any data about children, financial and health information, Social Security numbers, and geolocation. In addition to adding Web browsing data, Wheeler also wants to deem a person’s mobile app usage sensitive.

>Walter McCormick, president of USTelecom, a trade group whose members include AT&T and Verizon, said he was pleased that Wheeler decided that “the sensitive nature of the information being shared should be the determining factor in what is afforded increased protection.”

>But the group is concerned that the FCC, “which has no expertise with regard to determining the content of speech, is now attempting to redefine what consumers may regard as sensitive,” he said. McCormick wants the FCC to defer to the FTC on what is regarded as sensitive data.

>The FCC gained privacy authority over broadband providers in 2015 after the agency approved rules for online traffic known as net neutrality. The regulations put the providers in the same legal category as more highly regulated conventional telephone companies.

>Wheeler’s original proposal in March was lauded by consumer advocates as much-needed protection for the vast and potentially lucrative trove of data collected about customers as they surf the Internet, send email or use mobile apps.

>But broadband providers complained that Wheeler’s plan to require customer permission before using any personal information departed from the longstanding views of the FTC, which had privacy oversight of the companies before the FCC’s net neutrality vote.

>In May, the FTC’s staff told the FCC that the proposed rules did not “reflect the different expectations and concerns that customers have for sensitive and non-sensitive data” and “could hamper beneficial uses of that data.”

>Those comments were among about 250,000 the FCC received on the proposed rules over the last six months. Wheeler said the “extensive feedback” led him to propose changes to his plan.

>Broadband providers would be free to do what they want with data that is stripped of key identifying details so it can’t be linked to a specific person or device.

>For example, federal officials consider healthcare information to be “de-identified” if 18 specific types of data are removed, including name, phone number, email address, Social Security number and all address details except for the first three digits of the person’s ZIP code.

>But the providers must commit not to try to link the data back to the specific customer or device and prohibit anyone who receives the information from doing that as well.

>The proposed rules also would ban broadband providers from refusing service to customers who won’t allow the sharing of their data.

>Providers would be allowed to offer discounts or other incentives to customers to lure them to give consent to share more personal information, but would face “heightened” disclosure requirements for such plans. The FCC would review such “pay for privacy” offerings on a case-by-case basis.

>Under Wheeler’s proposal, broadband providers would have to notify customers within 30 days after determining that a data breach has occurred.

>The providers would have only seven days to notify the FCC of any data breaches, and notify the FBI and the Secret Service of breaches that affect more than 5,000 customers.

>It's natural that Drudge's assumption would be that someone was hyping a threat for political purposes, though. That's what Drudge does nearly every day. Between September 2013 and June 2014, for example, Drudge promoted stories about the "knockout game" 19 times, according to Drudge Report Archives. The "knockout game" was a purported trend in which young men (mostly black) were dared to go punch someone (often white) without provocation. There was no basis to the suggestion that this was a broad trend, and the subtext to the weird media frenzy was hard to miss.

>More regularly, Drudge hypes stories about undocumented immigrants ("Illegal Alien in Phoenix Deadly Crash Drank 12 Beers and Used Cocaine..."), the Islamic State ("ISIS to send 'serial killers' to the West in bloody new terror tactic") and crime ("Murder Rates Soar In 25 Largest Cities..."). His relationship with Trump is symbiotic, however unintentionally: He hypes the purported danger and Trump promises to fix it.

>The difference between Drudge's hype and the warnings of the weather forecasters, of course, is that there actually is a massive hurricane on Florida's coast. It actually is an immediate risk to life and property. Drudge criticizing forecasters for basing warnings on worst-case scenarios is the flip side to Drudge constantly hyping one-off polls that show Trump with significant leads in the presidential race. He's cherry-picking the best-case scenario to reassure his readers; the scientists are isolating the worst-case to potentially save lives.

...

>It's also worth noting that there may be a link between climate change and more powerful hurricanes. The Washington Post's Chris Mooney interviewed a researcher Thursday who explained how a warmer climate may have helped power Matthew. Hurricanes have occurred for millennia, of course, but more atmospheric warmth (or, put another way, energy), warmer, higher seas and more atmospheric moisture can help create bigger, more powerful storms when they happen, scientists say. "These storm traits aren’t proof of anything, of course," Mooney writes of Matthew. "They’re merely consistent with the notion of warming making storms worse."

>Conservatives, though, are much less likely to accept the scientific consensus that climate change is occurring, much less that it's caused by human activity and greenhouse gas emissions. In a recent Pew Research survey, only 11 percent of conservative Republicans said that they felt that scientists understood what was causing the Earth to warm, and only 15 percent said they trusted scientists to give accurate information about the causes. Conservative Republicans were also the most likely to say that the news media was exaggerating the threat climate change poses.

>Drudge takes advantage of that skepticism — on climate change, yes, but also more broadly. There's no higher-profile member of the media who's been more effective at sowing distrust of the media overall. In this case, the distrust that Drudge sowed held real risks for readers. But his habit of doing precisely what he was criticizing — hyping outliers and worst-case scenario to score political points — is why he's got so many fans, and helps explain a lot about American politics in 2016.

I'm just waiting for the first major accident with these things and the lawsuits that will erupt because of it. This is a lawyers wet dream either blame the motorist for not taking control in time, the government for not taking proper care of roadways causing the vehicle to go crazy. The vehicle manufacturer for a shoddy product or the company that use these vehicles in the first place

>the government for not taking proper care of roadways causing the vehicle to go crazy.

Looking forward to this part, might give them some incentive to do something about the shitty roads around here, especially after tomato season.

>Well I'm just thinking about our relation with Saudi Arabia.

How anti-american can you get? Unanimous support, helping Americans, and the fucking president doesn't want to hurt the feelings of the 9/11 orchestrator.

>>75353
I don't think that Obama is worried about staying on Saudi Arabia's good side so much as it is that he doesn't want there to be legal precedent for suing the leaders of nations that bomb your shit.

This Anon is wise.

Men just want to live in a society where they don't feel stigmatized about the size of their penis. If we free the penis, we can de-sensitize people from making harsh judgments on the size of man's member.

>>70926
I had to spend almost a full year's salary on legal fees to keep my name off a sex offender's registry after a mother was upset when I re-positioned my penis inside my pants during a birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese's. Without taking my dick out of my pants, I was almost convicted of indecent exposure to minors and sexual harassment.

I shouldn't be afraid to adjust my penis when it's uncomfortable. #FreeThePenis.

Body shaming is part of the problem. It's unfair and turns us into sexual objects at the beach, at the gym and at our places of work.

My penis isn't smooth, straight and as thick as a
coke can. It's curved, has some discoloration and is a different skin tone than the rest of my body. Due to America's obsession with the perfect penis, I'm afraid to show mine to my partners and have lost girlfriends because of my self-consciousness.

I shouldn't be forced into the life of a monk because my penis doesn't meet America's beauty standards. #FreeThePenis.
