    Ideological Turing Test

    Well, that's definitely an article that should be deleted for lack of notability and reliable secondary sources. /deletionist perspective

    Democratic Presidential Candidate Poll

    It's too early to really say much that's meaningful for 2016 speculation, though there are options in the poll that are already pretty clearly irrelevant. The one thing I would venture to predict right now that's not trivial, is that it's more likely than not that Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden...

    FINALLY, a polling company asks the questions REAL AMERICANS want ANSWERS to

    The only thing that seems really interesting or surprising here is that so many young Americans in the poll would self-identify as hipsters, actually. Non-American hipsters are generally better, or maybe less worse, hipsters.

    American agriculture on precipice of collapse

    It's going to start looking weird with at least three separate statements made in the same thread, but it has to be said: Nope, petrochemicals. The bee thing remains an interesting and unfortunate story but not really that big of a deal despite media chicken littling over it.

    Death to Intellectual Property versus I Want my Privacy

    Actually, Paul Ryan is not even a Senator. And turds aren't Senators, therefore Paul Ryan is a turd.

    "GISTS", a new-to-me artform

    Oh dear, some of the images are pretty, but you ought to know Rorschach tests are pretty much completely invalid. It also looks like this set of images was created from a very poor algorithm like pure averaging instead of something reasonable.

    Gun lobby wins: no new background checks.

    I thought this was disappointing news as well, but it tells us what to expect for pretty much the entire rest of this session of Congress. Honestly, I'd place a lot of the blame with Harry Reid, because this doesn't just reflect the particular influence of one position or another on gun issues...

    Okay, I broke down and bought a Kindle.

    Kindles are decent and should be fine, though I wouldn't recommend to someone else to buy one or an equivalent competing product if they haven't already. The convience of actually reading on an e-reader is the only thing that would be worth it, which I get is a big plus for a lot of people...

    My master's thesis survey

    Took the survey, good luck with this. Parts of it seemed a little repetitive but it still wasn't too long, and all questions had a reasonable range of options to answer.

    New Window?

    Had this on multiple browsers, and it's just annoying, even if it is April Fools. Not saying this was done intentionally here, I would guess it's probably actual malware affecting the forum software and it would be perfectly common for random malware to trigger on April 1. Either way it's too...

    Town coordination finished it well at the end, didn't see a way they weren't going to make it. Thanks for hosting Jarrema, know you didn't get the numbers or probably participation you wanted but the game got together well.

    Soapbox:Time we stop acting like an asshat of a species before we go out like dinos

    Hobbs, you would be interested in reading some actual literature on existential risks. In short, though, asteroid strikes are not really a big worry, especially given current mitigation efforts are decent.

    Holy Crusade

    I'm not sure exactly what this case is but I don't know of a ton of people's claims. Everything has been going through Mat which is understandable but today we need to hear more on relevant cases like this. There are multiple attackers unaccounted for, and if the case on NinjaCow is better...

    Holy Crusade

    Oh, NinjaCow, we already knew spaceman had the Scepter since he stepped forward Day 4 - again, we both publicly claimed to being the two vigs on TBK. I was not sure spaceman identifying himself was the best decision at the time but I cannot presume to question the intentions of an experienced...

    Holy Crusade

    vote: classical_hero as a placeholder for now. We've got scum doing attacks and not standing watch or anything among those outside the cave, that much is clear. I need to look through what we know and add things up to properly advise our elders. I am a bit less suspicious of Visorslash than I...

    Holy Crusade

    Just for clarification, does this mean nobody who is currently wounded can go? Also, it seems volunteering for this doesn't count as a vote, it's a free action? Anyway, I will go. It would be an honor to see this resting place.

    Holy Crusade

    I'm going to vote: Visorslash I don't particularly think NinjaCow has been that scummy and Visor has really attempted to cast suspicion on people less likely to be scum while ignoring the main body of evidence we have so far, the attacks at night. It's possible Visorslash is attacking people...

    Well, he'll die in the lynch so we'll know right after today, I'm ok with that as it stands. If he's not scum I think BSmith or Visorslash needs to be taken down next; in the lynch tomorrow if we don't have vigilante action to spare, as I'm not sure how spaceman would interact with the rest of...
