We already know that information obtained through torture is highly unreliable.

Roughly an hour from where I live. There's a few underground mosques here.
They shouldn't have to be underground, though

I don't think people realize how much business is done online and how many companies rely on email, servers, websites, etc.

Entire economies would fall.

I don't even recognize your name...

Easy, they give you fake info. Keep torturing them until they give you the right info.

Or, you know. Until you've committed murder.

Of course, I'm sure that's no big deal.

Its really not. War isn't pretty. You have to do some messed up things to win.

If you have to go to these lengths, violating international law and all that fun shit - have you actually won?

Yep

Wrong answer.

Remind me, how exactly, we've won in the Middle East and fighting terror? We lost four thousand lives for....nothing.

#'Murica

Its really easy to say that, but who knows what could have been.

We could have had 2-3 more major attacks on our homeland without this war. But alright.
"Could have"...

But I'll take torturing and killing terrorists any day instead of the alternative.
But when Obama done strikes Anwar Al-Awlaki in Yemen, people lose their shit...

I also know [...] every president has given these orders.
Sure you do.

4510
lol

4511
Every president does it.
Every president is purposefully misled by the CIA to torture people?

Doesn't seem right...

4512
I mean, that's nice and all, but will anything come of it?

I highly doubt it.

The Flood / Re: lol google music

I never even knew Google music was a thing until now.
I prefer it to any other streaming service.

If you don't buy the subscription it lets you upload 20k songs to their servers for you to play back on any device you're signed in to.

If you pay for the streaming service [$9.99/mo] it also lets you stream any other music similar to Spotify and such. Google also recently bought the service Songza which they implemented into their Google Play Music platform to better generate playlists like the ones pictured above.

Google also introduced Music Key for YouTube recently, where if your Google account has a Music subscription, you can watch music videos on YouTube ad-free.

I think it all comes down to the industry. Something like art, music, dance, doesn't necessarily need a degree to show you're good at it. Even a lot of tech stuff like web design. As long as you have a portfolio of your work to show potential employers, you'll be pretty ok.

It's not like we're paying for them to go to Harvard or Yale; we're giving them some tools to get back on their feet after they finish their time so they can break out of they cycle they were in.

I always get a chuckle out of their suggested playlists in the morning

I think there's a sense of purity and genuineness to people who educate themselves that I find impressive. Could it have been more time- and cost-effective if you had someone teaching you who already knew the material? Sure. But there's another layer of depth to people who get there on their own.

There's a beauty to the system of trial-and-error of self-education, as odd as that may be. The moment when you get your code to work, or the moment you publish your song to SoundCloud where you recorded all the tracks, or the moment you turn the key on the engine in your aunt's rusted-out Challenger after rebuilding the engine; there's something both exciting and anxiety-inducing those moments, but you got there on your own and had an experience and adventure that someone in a classroom didn't, and that makes it all the more valuable.

...I don't think I answered the question. I got distracted.

This is the one I'm using now, I think.

What I want is for the left portion of the bar to be pure pink, and fade into the skulls after the point where my name and title are, so my name and title aren't on top of any skulls.

halp?

Looks nice, do you follow regular baseball as well?
I follow the Angels and Indians pretty religiously, but not much of the other teams in the MLB.

Yeah, it's super comfy and lightweight. We know a guy who prints jerseys so he hooked us up.

I dun get it.

The way my brain works (I don't like it but oh well..)

Stuff goes in then exits immediately after I don't think I'll be tested on it again.
It's supposed to be "| [1] and 2, 3 and, and | 1-2"

Please tell me he teaches little kids... I'm practically illiterate in sheet music and still figured it out.
7th grade, yeah. Some of them are new to music.

My ISP decided to almost double our DL speed.

Noice.

But they are allowed to do that...
Unfortunately..

I think we need to amend some shit to include discrimination based on sexual orientation.
