Nobody said it's the end all be all of a subject: it doesn't have to be to be useful as a source of information. Are you just writing fanfics at this points?
- The bible.
Conversely having multiple sources corroborate the same information in itself, no better or worse. It depends entirely on the specific case and how it is evaluated. Having 3 links to Daily Caller, Breitbart and Stormfront is not the same as having links from Stanford, the BBC and Reuters. -

Jesus Maria and the other fella, as me old mom used to say.
Are you mentally disabled? It's a matter of national sovereignty. "Everyone does it" isn't any sort of reason to not defend it. Of course everyone does it. And nobody wants it done to them. Well us neither. -

(You don't need to research that statement, it's the truth…)
Anyone who believes information from a single source should be dismissed out of hand is retarded. Anyone who blindly dismisses that source because it doesn't tell them what they want to hear, is retarded.
Because, you know, those are really retarded blanket ways to handle information without actually evaluating its content or context. -

i'm still leary tho! 😳
It's as reliable a source as anyone is going to get on the subject of FOREIGN GOVERNMENT INTERFERENCE . Who else would even be able to tell you or investigate it?
If this was some kind of allegation in the UN to raise sanctions or some shit then yeah, everyone else should say "we will not act on this without further information". But it ain't. The ot people it's trying to inform is our own government and public. If someone thinks they are doing some deep state conspiracy, show me how, otherwise fuck off with trying to discredit official information.
More Trumpist propaganda to break down the American public's faith in our institutions. -
2019-12-18 at 1:15 PM UTC in Dump idiot TrumpOur government runs on information from our intelligence agencies. Obviously a basic assumption we have for its functioning is that they are not straight up lying to us. Nobody is saying "believe everything". But no, it's not reasonable nor beneficial to just assume these lying jut cuz.
The proper channels and checks and balances already exist. The CIA is not a partisan organisation, it just can't be. Everything in the universe gets whistleblown these days and the only then remotely close on this is QAnon tardation -

2019-12-18 at 1:09 PM UTC in Dump idiot TrumpSimple question: if tomorrow the CIA releases a report on the spiciness of various brands of salsa to inform a vote on salsa tariffs, would you think it's a reliable report or not?
If not, why not? Is it because they've lied in the past for stuff like COINTELPRO? Please say yes so I can rip you a new sphincter. -

Originally posted by aldra At this point it's frustrating that you people cannot understand what factors of the situation are important and just fall back on cold-war era programming; "Russia bad!" any time they're mentioned even in passing. Russia's not even relevant to this conversation, we were talking about the credibility of the US intelligence services and Falco deflected saying "we should believe them because Russia is worse". I literally spent 10 pages asking him for evidence for "Russia interfering in our elections" in the last thread and he finally came out with "because the CIA said so", which is just mind-numbing. You don't have to have an opinion on Russia at all to know it's not wise to take any intelligence agency at face value.
You goobers seem to think this is a zero-sum game where you have to back US or Russian intelligence agencies - NEITHER IS YOUR FRIEND, and you're going to get burned if you start trusting them just because they're attacking someone you don't like.
Hey come address it in the thread when I'm there rather than being a weasely little lying dishonest faggot
I didn't say "I believe it because the CIA said it". I said that there is no reason or evidence to say they are lying.
You just said you don't believe it because it's just an allegation at Russia.
Except it ain't: none of these are some kind of national indictment being taken to an international court to prosecute the country of Russia. It's pretty much not even about Russia itself in this context.
These are reports produced for the benefit of our own government apparatus, to inform our decision making on issues that are American in nature i.e. our own political process. Nobody is saying "they are your friend" cunt, there is no evidence they are lying whatsoever.
They specifically mention that the evidence is available but classified and not presented in the condensed reports, which is HOW FUCKING EVERYTHING WORKS. No intelligence agency is just gonna serve up their method of procurement
What YOU are asserting is that the CIA is playing some kind of deep state game to misinform our other institutions because... Because what, they want to make Russia look bad? No, YOU give evidence homo. Give evidence that the CIA is lying to our own government or a motive or something. Dishonest cunt.
No there is no super Solid Snake Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell CIA conspiracy to lie to Congress because they just want to fuck Trump. Zero evidence to believe it. This is just more QAnon retardation.
Don't try to play "just want evidence" you stupid motherfucker: you don't have any reason to believe the CIA is lying here. Nobody does you. The CIA is as credible a government source as the US government is going to get. What do you want Congress to do, say "I don't believe you, show me everything"? -

2019-12-18 at 3:08 AM UTC in Tell Me Your Most Brutal Story1998 a buddy and I were blazing up I-25 in New Mexico trying to make it to Denver from ABQ before sunset in his beat up ass '85 Cherokee.
Somewhere a little north of Santa Fe, about 4:30 we passed a little ride-in with 4 gas pumps, a Pizza Hut and what seemed like a mile of abandoned tractor trailers in the back that raised questions nobody wanted to investigate.
We pulled in to buy drinks and top up before gunning for Denver as hard as we could without stopping. As we rolled around to park beside the building. My buddy gets out to go inside and pay for stuff, I decide to take the opportunity to stretch my legs. I wandered towards the back and heard voices. A Firebird, driver side door open, was parked angled away from me. A woman and a man.
I peered around the corner. I didn't want to get involved, it just sounded like a domestic and it was none of my business. The voices got louder and more frantic, so I looked again.
I heard the distinctive sound of flesh on flesh, followed by a short silence. Then a low and distant whining ensued. The passenger door opened, and I got back and started to walk away. Lover's quarrel. I wanted no part, I didn't want to risk being seen. I went inside the building to see what my friend was up to, apparently he had gone to use the bathroom. I decided to take care of the drink picked out some juices, cokes, water bottles etc. My friend comes out, finishes paying up and we both get back to the car. As we pull around, he doesn't even notice, but I do: across the back seat, I saw the guys head, and the top of her head. As we drove past, I heard muffled screams, barely audible. We drove away. I didn't say anything. I had to get to Denver. -

Ultimately all stringed instruments are, are a way to hold strings to a certain tension in an arrangement that is easy to play. The wood, resonance chamber craftsmanship etc are secondary qualities that in blind trials have less effect on the perceived sound quality than the quality of the strings and bow, and the actual tuning assembly.
I would say you can get a cheapish (still solid) violin to gut and replace. Something that feels nice and sturdy. It will get you 85% of the way. -

2019-12-18 at 2:27 AM UTC in The PSP is my most underrated consoleThe Vita launched at $280. The launch pricetag was $280. It said $250 everywhere but it was 280. You couldn't even BOOT AAA games like Uncharted and a majority of titles without a memory card, or save their shit. They completely screwed you on storage because they thought this is where we get to hide the pricetag.

2019-12-18 at 2:25 AM UTC in The PSP is my most underrated consoleI almost forgot, no, it was indeed dicketry, not SD cards.
They essentially wrapped the same flash storage as an SD card in a different housing with a different interface and transfer protocol. You can get adapters that can literally let you use an SD card via the memory card slot. -

2019-12-18 at 2:21 AM UTC in The PSP is my most underrated consoleI didn't like $30 for 4GB SD card that was essentially a built in hidden cost.
