Dr Hamadoun Toure, secretary-general of the UN's International Telecommunications Union (ITU), said ahead of the event: "There is no need for the ITU to take over the internet governance."

You say that, and yet you fail your bluff check again.

I'd argue that while we've generally gotten more tolerant, we're also damn sure on a bloody steep road away from respect, especially towards people with differing experiences.

Do elaborate, then.

I think what he's saying is that there would be a lot less trolls in the world if dueling were still legal. And you had a way to actually find and call them out. FWIW, I don't think you need the dueling, just the ability to find them. Then it's less "pistols at 50 paces" and more "get some guys and go beat the everliving fuck out of somebody".

Believe it or not I actually like it when people don't fear retribution like that. In real life, such jerks still exist, they just hide. On the internet, they're out in the open.

Do you prefer wolves to be seen, or be hidden in sheep's clothing?

I've often found myself both regretting and thankful that I lack the ability to reach through the internet and strangle someone.

I prefer them as a rug or a nice cloak. Sadly, the metaphor breaks down there (and involves lots of hiding of bodies).

For twenty million USD, I will teach you how to stab people over the internet.

A kid at my school got killed in a hit and run car accident. I didn't actually know him so that's not really the rage part. The rage part for me is that the white supremacists got ahold of the story so now there's some really insensitive and messed up photoshops floating around the Internet.

Nothing like acting like an insensitive degenerate to prove that good ol' racial superiority. Keep fighting the good fight, y'buggers, you do the work of marginalizing your ilk for me.

I'd prefer pistols, it's fair and honorable. You're also generally not supposed to shoot to kill, so it wouldn't be THAT bad. Although there are no rules saying you don't shoot to kill, so that's always a viable option...

my roommates will not fucking stop pooping

I never thought I'd ever have to type that. But it's like they're timing it so that as soon as the bathroom starts to not smell terrible, the next one walks in. This is delaying my shower significantly.

Find alternate showerage?

Get over your silly aversion to bad smells?

Everybody poops, dude.

Clearly you missed out on a story greatorder linked in the WTF thread.

I skimmed it, and that's a different situation entirely

Some people smell worse than others. MUCH worse, in some cases.
