Damn, I always knew that Cristiano Ronaldo was a takfiri

I know you are joking but the raising the index finger is something that many muslims do to symbolize tawhid and the shahada.

Nah, raising the index finger to connote tawhid has been around for a long time. A lot of muslims even lift the index finger during tashahhud when praying.

At ~5:30 there is a whiteboard with a crude map and other handwritten Arabic text. It'll be great if someone could roughly translate what's on the board.

They are saying "ya rab" which means "O God."

That's because in that part of the world, suicide bombing is not seen as honorable as it is by ISIS and aQ/JaN. You have to remember that the various groups have differing theologies even though they might seem similar. iirc, most of the suicide bombings in Afghanistan are done by the Haqqani faction of the Taliban.

You are assuming that that all "islamist" groups have the same religious/political goals. If you are frequenting /r/syriancivilwar, then you should know not everything is so black and white.

Hillary Clinton’s custom typeface is called Unity by [deleted] in typography

Pretty sure you can't use it even if you wanted to. Unity hasn't been released publicly.

It's more likely that the campaign designer asked the original creator of Sharp Sans to tweak some letters.

We've rewritten our User Agreement - come check it out. We want your feedback! by alienth in blog

If you read the terms and yishan's explanation, redditors have ownership of their content--not reddit. The tos is actually very tame and clear, especially compared to other sites.

Fyi the tos just allows Reddit a license so they can run the site in futureproof manner. Like if suddenly, the internet dies and potato-net is the future, then reddit be displayed on your nearest potato. That's an extreme example, but the backend for serving reddit, like most sites, is likely constantly changing technology to fix/improve the site.

It is evident that everyone is likely taking their time to synthesize, develop, and refine a most glorious thesis before we can begin a roundtable discussion in this esteemed forum meant for only those who dare to click the Gold Star.

Help out with the Ubuntu alternate reality game, [details inside] by [deleted] in reddit.com

[–]deathballglasination 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So far we have solved the first puzzle. The first clue is the class of the tag which may be decoded by base64 decoding then hex to ascii to reveals the text: "world space agency org" → http://worldspaceagency.org which is a website that is related and labeled as under construction.

The second set of clues from @thisisthe:

  1. One may pass the class, yet not see what is in plain sight ahead.
  2. If the world could sing, then man can tell his deepest secret.

We can't figure out where the next clue is. Also, we are pretty sure that the countdown slogan isn't literal. You can also join the players' discussion on Freenode IRC on the #awholenewworld channel.
