Holocausplay posted:I agree that making a sign is not an invitation to be harassed, and assuming such is unreasonable, but, by the same token, publishing a person's name is not a call to harass them, and it's just as much of a leap to impute that motive to them. (If we wanted to stop dumbshit from being done with content from the internet, we'd have to shut down the internet. We can't even have a decently democratized encyclopedia without retards filling it with anime, Ron Paul facts or Ty Pepper shooting himself in the anus.) Anyway, there are anywhere from 69 to 420 reasons to post the girl's name, but it would take me over 9,000 seconds to explain them all, so just take one: lo, though they may not post alongside the denizens of SAS or share the rarified tastes of a Bob Costas, there are thousands of squalid, rutting proles in these United States who were curious about that memorable sign; they will click on even the most fleeting and insignificant information about it, and those clicks create money, which can be used to obtain goods and services. It's crass and materialistic and of almost zero informational substance, but if we wanted to put a stop to that, that would be another reason to shut down the entire internet, dynamite every local news station, set fire to every Features desk in America, remove the infographic as a phenomenon, end the national nightly news ten minutes earlier, get rid of cable news entirely, and on and on. I can sympathize with disdaining the profit motive, but aside from that, the act of printing that information is morally null, and any commentary about sexual politics or advocacy of terroristic threats online is little more than question begging. Ah yes, somebody did something, so do nothing because doing something would mean you must do everything.

Just an FYI, but talking about missing information and then being vague about the specific people may be a bit kin to the classic pot/kettle/black post. Unless it is supposed to be that way, the kudos I guess.

LARGE THE HEAD posted:Beano Cook died today at the age of 81. Most of the Something Awful generation will remember him as a doddering, senile man who would be rolled out on ESPN from time to time to make awful pronouncements about how good Notre Dame was when the team record was 2-8. Wow. My dad hated Beano Cook because he was always so...what's the word, pretentious? Like you said, he was an authority in the sports world, but that doesn't mean he was the best authority and heaven forbid you had an opinion different from his. Then again this is third or fourth-hand information by the time it got to my dad, so whatever, it's still sad.

Crion posted:"It seems like the problems come when we graft narrative onto a subject we don’t fully understand, but want to delude ourselves into thinking we do" might as well be MalcolmGladwell.txt This reminds me of any number of comments about a player not hustling or wanting it enough. Yes, that's the missing piece, for the top level athlete that has had to dedicate their profession to their output on a physical basis for a finite period of their adolescent and adult life. Sheesh.
