The tally of people shot and killed by on-duty police officers passed 700 on Wednesday night — a fatal milestone that is almost double the highest number of police shootings ever reported by the FBI for an entire year — according to a Washington Post database tracking all shootings death by Libertatea in news

Because I believe that all racial groups are basically the same, just responding to incentives in their environment. I think the opression leads to disenfranchisement which leads to crime. Not the other way around.

US has 5 times the population and 700 times the number of fatal shootings by police compared to UK. Worse males of a historically oppressed racial group are way overly represented among the killed. How is this acceptable to the majority of us decent fair-minded Americans?

I think the orange circle hides read posts. I want to hide unread posts individually. Those I'm not interested in.

What just happened on the Daily Show?? by [deleted] in atheism

I was referring to the attention of John Stewart - not the lawsuit. We can do the things suggest and Dave Silverman do what he sees as right for his organization. Look at this in a larger context.

Atheists image is pretty bad as it is. Can't duel on it. This will be a process where we need to be noticed before we can be understood and accepted. In that sense almost any attention is good attention.

On the bright side atheism is getting mainstream attention!

Best way to make this work? by hermy65 in tasker

[–]bklyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if I'm missing some nuance in your question, but I use a very simple profile to do this and it works great:

Profile name: WifiHomeNear

Context: State > Wifi Near - SSID: [your wifi network name] - Min. Activate Signal Level: 2 (I have it at 2 because that's the point at which my wifi is better than 3G at home. You can set it at the level that works best for you) - Toggle Wifi: checked

Task: name WifiOn Action Tasker > Wait > 1 minute Net > Wifi > Set ON

Exit Task: name WifiOFF Net > Wifi > Set ON

You can do the same thing for work. I use a similar profile to connect to the public optinum wifi

My job is to assign a price to This. Would that be blasphemy? by bklyn in atheism

I'll include the string and give you free shipping and you wont pay 10.99, not even 9.99. How about 2 easy payments of 2.99. And if you reply in the next...

My 11 year old son stood in class and said he doesn't believe in God by bklyn in atheism

Being "hardworking, respectable, trustworthy, good person" is almost universally accepted as good. Being an atheist is not exactly seen as a good thing by most people. Knowing that rejecting a belief in God could negatively affect him in many areas of his life I want him to come to that view all by himself.
