I marked it funny.
I'm not going to dig through last night's twitter feed, but one guy was definitely going full doublethink. First how bringing in Kelly to reign in the chaos was good, and later how the signs of chaos were just a ruse to confuse Trump's enemies.I marked it funny.
That being said, does that publication have multiple authors? If it's the SAME person for both articles, f'n hilarious. If different, still funny, but does happen with a publication with multiple people writing for it.
I have no doubt it's a case of cognitive dissonance, and/or whatever you call it where everything from a "side" you support must be good, no matter how contradictory. Not quite to the level of doublethink in this case, (though single-day turnaround pushes near the definition) but definitely related to it.
FYI: Doublethink as I understand it from the book (yes I've read it) requires you to believe contradictory things at the same time and to voice such as each is needed, not that you changed your mind along the way and that something that was good is now bad, or vice-versa. That's just changing your mind.
Oh I wasn't meaning anything deeper than "I don't know that outlet, I wonder if it's one person or multiple." If CNN (or anything else similarly huge), I assume different authors on nearly everything. If it's an outlet I don't recognize, I don't necessarily know, and that impacts my "amount of funny" on the differing headlines on the same day.If they didn't want to pass those opinions off as the opinion of the news outlet, they should've put the author names in the tweets.
Don't fear the Tingle[DOUBLEPOST=1501605946,1501605851][/DOUBLEPOST]And for people like @Dave who are afraid of having their amazon recommendations become more interesting, the full title of that Chuck Tingle masterpiece is "Pounded In The Butt By The Fact That It Took Less Time For This Book To Be Written And Published Than The Entire Length Of Tony Scarymoochy’s Term As White House Communications Director"I'm not clicking that.
Hey, it might show you're serious about getting that promotion.I already got that by mousing over the link. But I'm at work so clicking gay porn erotica links even on Amazon probably wouldn't be in my best interest.
They're blocked by adblockers, so if you're using one... that's the issue.That Amazon plugin isn't showing up for me for some reason. They used to...
I haven't changed anything. Maybe the nativeAdBlocker updated? I do see now that there is an "unauthenticated source scripts" warning and a "plugins blocked" warning. Hmm..that's definitely new.[DOUBLEPOST=1501607802,1501607585][/DOUBLEPOST]And it is already proving to be a pain in the ass to try and unblock it.They're blocked by adblockers, so if you're using one... that's the issue.

I did! But Halforums is now 1.) Not Secure 2.) STILL blocking the plugin. *grumble*I'm surprised it doesn't just give you an option to whitelist halforums.com.
Not secure? Hmmm. Try it now and see if there's a difference.I did! But Halforums is now 1.) Not Secure 2.) STILL blocking the plugin. *grumble*
There's only so much you can do about it. Browsers these days have started deciding to throw hissyfits if every single element on a page is not https. And most hotlinked images are not https. So the browser goes into full Earl-of-Lemongrab mode because OBVIOUSLY that cat meme is trying to steal your identity.Not secure? Hmmm. Try it now and see if there's a difference.
I don't know, but I doubt it. My browser's been fuming about insecure content here for weeks, I just told it to STFU and deal.Well, I'm wondering if it is the SUPER SECRET ADDON I put in yesterday.
I haven't been able to see twitter stuff beyond "loading content" for a LONG time despite whitelisting this place in both uBlock and Ghostery (firefox). Facebook stuff just doesn't show up at all.I don't know, but I doubt it. My browser's been fuming about insecure content here for weeks, I just told it to STFU and deal.
And ya, that cat meme probably IS trying to steal your identity. Pretty much everything everywhere is, if by IP if nothing else. But that doesn't mean I don't want it loaded.There's only so much you can do about it. Browsers these days have started deciding to throw hissyfits if every single element on a page is not https.

So . . . your super secret addon is a cat meme that steals our identity?Well, I'm wondering if it is the SUPER SECRET ADDON I put in yesterday.
Why would he send you a picture of Apple's UK HQ?I sent my coworkers that picture of me doing indoor skydiving and my boss sent me back this:

I am still getting a "trying to load unsafe scripts" message. If I allow it, it reverts to "Not Secure".Not secure? Hmmm. Try it now and see if there's a difference.
