this isn't very useful because you can't restrict a search to particular users and you always get dumped on some random page of a thread because the googlebot doesn't use the same posts/page setting as you do

The trajectory of wil could be a psychological case study taught at the university level. After all this time I've fallen on the side that I'm much more serious than I am joking.

Julian Assange and Wikileaks have become the very thing they purported to want to eliminate: gatekeepers of information. The hacker ethos of "information wants to be free" doesn't hold any sway with Assange and Wikileaks. They simply want to control what is and isn't made public, to control the narrative. They're not freedom fighters, they're not good guys. I don't know if they've always been like this, but I'm leaning towards they just used Chelsea Manning as a pawn for political reasons, and she was the one that suffered years in prison for it, while they raked in donations. Simply put, **** Assange, and **** Wikileaks.

If anyone's curious here's a data point of the "why can't black protestors protest like MLK?" Here's the polls of whites during the Civil Rights Movement

Freedom Riders who just bought tickets and rode buses - 61% disapproval

Do lunch counter sit ins help or hurt black integration - 57% hurt

All and all do you think demonstrations by Negros help or hurt the advancement of civil rights? - 85% hurt

Yeah a lot of times I'm looking for a post from someone and looking for key words and google sucks for that. I used to be able to search and get sent to the post and then started to send me to the last post of the thread and I had to search through it by the date of the post and now it sends me anywhere in the thread sometimes it seems. It's too much work to even do a simple search half the time.

I assume given super-mod status that you can move threads yourself if you want them, but I'm also happy to move any threads that are wanted, or whatever else should be done.

moves must be requested. the forum can still be viewed by people who have the url. it just won't be on the indexes.

Chez being mod of a forum nobody can post in sounds like the perfect job for him.

Actually, I take that back. He would probably spend the next 6 months deleting every last fly and trolly post.

I don't really do politics on 2p2 but thought this was worthy of a mention.

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-08-1...senate/8816886

Pauline Hanson who is the leader of One Nation decides to wear a burka into the Australian Senate as a stunt. It's pretty incredible to me that she thought this was a good way to stimulate discussion about the issue. It seems pretty disrespectful but I should not really be surprised as she has come out with some pretty vile stuff in her time.

KKK’s request to burn cross on Stone Mountain denied

Well, that's.....progress.

They should tell them if they hike up the mountain instead of taking the sky-lift it'll be considered.

And then turn them down anyway.

Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) has bowed to pressure and cancelled a booking for a “neo-nazi” conference which was set to take place on one of its ships.

I'm trying to figure out just how bad of a parent you had to have had, or how big the mule would have to be that kicked you in the head, to say to yourself, "Now the Nazi party is something I can definitely get behind."

Even if you HATE EVERYBODY, com'on man. Have some self-respect. Join the Juggalos or something.

From this NYT article about housing prices forcing Bay Area workers far away to make long commutes, I liked this map of home prices along a woman's 3 hour commute from Stockton to San Francisco:
