WTF News stories

Yeah, I know... I was mostly just trying to be funny... But you have to admit that pool floats seem like a pretty odd thing to be sexually attracted to... Especially to the point that you'd be repeatedly arrested for molesting them in public.

I suppose that's what floats his boat.
But by going after it he's removed himself from the gene pool and into the real pool, so I suppose that's a good thing. 
His girlfriend is a real airhead though.
Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all night.

It's specifically his neighbors pool raft he finds sexually attractive.

JUST GIVE HIM THE RAFT SO HE CAN DO IT INSIDE. D<

Not only so he can do it inside....why the hell does the neighbor want to keep the raft after that in the first place?!
Maybe the neighbor's even more fucked up...

Reminds me of this Woody Allen movie I saw...

But well, in those cases they were surrendering against opponents with superior tech-drones in the first place, heavy artillery in the second.

Now they're surrendering en masse against basic enemy infantry. They've degenerated even further. One would logically expect the new guys in charge would learn from the mistakes of the previous, but I guess that's being way too optimistic.

Heavy artillery? Huh? They surrendered to a pair of reporters.

Anti-riot attack drones made which will spray crowds with pepper spray and paint-ball bullets... You have 30 seconds to comply, Citizen.

There is no good place to put this, but this is as good as any.  May need to move to politics thread?  Anyways...

Malaysian Airlines flight shot down on Russia-Ukraine border by Russian surface to air missile.  hoo-boy.....

The leader of the pro-russian separatists made some victory laps on twitter because he initially thought it was a military plane.  Since then he's erased said posts and keeps saying "we don't have the equipment to do this."

McCain is already pounding for retribution.

That sounds pretty damning. What a terrible tragedy... My wife just got back from international travel, so this gave me chills reading it...

It's the EU to Southeast Asia flight path, so unless she flies that one (or into Russia/Central Asia), she's okay. But if she has to go to Asia, I'd recommend a flight via the West Coast for the foreseeable future...

It was shot down in a separatist-controlled area, when they'd shot down military planes over the previous days. It's not plausible for it to not be them.

Also: one of the flight recorders has been taken to Moscow, and the separatists claim to have the other one (or that's what the story was when I saw the flight recorders mentioned earlier)

[oslecamo]

On the other hand, the ukraine military has shot down a commercial airplane before.

Also, this is the same Malaysian airlines that got a commercial aiplane completely vanish some months ago. They seem to be in a run of pretty bad luck.

[Raineh Daze]

Indeed, I just find it a bit unlikely that they'd be shooting down a commercial aeroplane whilst in a civil war, over rebel-controlled territory (especially if it turns out to be a surface-to-air missile).

Same make of plane, too.

The leader of the separatists I mentioned has also apparently been spotted in a youtube video introducing himself as the equivalent of a lieutenant colonel in the russian army...

And yet another reporter on Russia Today stepped down saying everything they said was a lie and she was sick of it.

5 police officers gank and suffocate an unarmed man to death in broad daylight in the middle of the street while he begs for his life and everything is being recorded on video. In New York.

Russian Hackers get .5 Billion peoples passwords and usernames.

  ... does this mean I can't be "me" anymore?

Seriously, should I change my username, etc ...

[Raineh Daze]

If you're worried, change your password and security questions etc.

Your username is public knowledge; there's no sense in changing that. It would be like moving house and getting a new identity because someone made a copy of your house key.

OR ...  ... leave it the same, so whatever Algorithm they're running, gets an ear full (code full?) of good ol' kitty avatar wisdom.
