The Gentleperson's Guide To Forum Spies
by Guest Wall Bird- 19 replies
- 1.2k views
Hey all, I came across this recently and thought it would make for good reading. It is a guide to manipulating discussion and opinions on internet forums. It details several strategies for misdirection, and dilution of discussion. http://cryptome.org/2012/07/gent-forum-spies.htm Naturally, this is very interesting to read. It can be enriching in it's plain analysis and may, hopefully, raise awareness of how these tactics are utilized. The discussion and dissemination of such techniques should make a for a sharper and less susceptible group of members. Perhaps we'll even recognize techniques that we may unwittingly employ ourselves when having a discussion. …

Is it possible to grow older and not become cynical? I think a bit of cynicism can be a good a thing, but there's obviously a level people can reach with cynicism that seems to suck all of the enjoyment out of things. I try not to be too cynical, but sometimes I can't help it, and I find this is particularly the case when it comes to politics, where all of the promises and best intentions seem to fall by the wayside so that people can hold on to their positions and get re-elected, and it just makes me want to disengage with the whole political process. I suppose a lot of it has to do with not seeing the world in a child like way, where all of the magic can get suc…

Help with computer problem
by Guest Pennywise- 11 replies

Hello, I wonder if any of you can help me with a really annoying problem with my laptop. Basically, It keeps typing and holding the '2' key on its own. I'm pretty sure its nothing to do with the keyboard because it happens every time I start the computer up. (It beeps when windows is starting up). The only way I can stop it is by pressing the '2' key, which may make you think it must be the keyboard. However, why would it happen every time I start the computer? I checked for viruses using avg and Malware and it says it is clean. I don't know much about puters Thanks.

Ours was this sexy beast. The Atari 800xl. We mostly just played games with it. I think we also may have had an external floppy drive for it. It lasted until I punched the keyboard for "cheating" in a video game. Prior to this, we had a Pong game, but I'm not really counting that as a computer.

TLDR AT BOTTOM - - - Through the past two weeks I have taken 30 mg of XR Adderall on four separate nights, with anywhere from 1-4 days rest in between. I have found the energy and focus to be perfect, and the high itself largely enjoyable (obviously). After the third time last week, I decided I would not take Adderall again and decided to work on a schedule to help increase my energy and focus throughout the week. I looked up a cleanse, known as the Quantum Wellness Cleanse, and began this Monday. This cleanse included a cessation of caffeine, so I went three days without coffee. Today I broke down from what I can only describe as really, really heavy …

this is so fucking ridiculous, ceasing broadcast of almost every Fox channel except Fox & Fox News, and now CBS as well. i had already cancelled my subscription for money reasons, but it couldn't be a better time to say fuck you to this greedy company. both sides say the other is guilty so fuck em all.

So after having a kneejerk reaction to the pathetic upholding of the plan deemed "Obamacare" by the media networks, I sat down and read a couple of enlightening articles. I also managed to finally read large chunks of the ruling and the opposition. It seems to be there is a glimmer of hope in an otherwise abyssmal situation, but let's get the bad out of the way first: 1) The plan isn't actually all that effective. This is essentially a forced tax on not buying into a private health insurance provider. Granted, there are incentives and federal subsidies for Americans well under the poverty line, but does that really alleviate the problem? (hint hint im a big fan…

young men with beards. 20-somethings. I'll come right out and say I'm not a fan of it. My girlfriend is trying to get me to grow one right now (I'm 26). I can grow one alright, but beards on 20-somethings... just doesn't seem appropriate to me. Lame question but I need input. Thanks.

One of the greatest supporting actors ever, and the name of a Squarepusher song, has died at 95. You might remember him from Airwolf if you watched TV in the 1980s (and were old enough to speak and read), or as the voice of Mermaid Man on Spongebob Squarepants "EEVIL!" if you're younger. To say the man had an impressive career is an understatement: The Man Who Shook the Hand of Vicente Fernandez (completed) Rex Page 2011 Love's Christmas Journey (TV movie) Nicholas 1999-2011 SpongeBob SquarePants (TV series) Mermaid Man / Mermaidman – Mermaidman Begins/Plankton's Good Eye (2011) … Mermaidman (voice) – Back to the Past/The Bad Guy Club for V…
