I'd agree we don't need to call out the National Guard. Overblown is the nature of every damn headline in every damn publication today. But hardly "fake." It is indeed a susceptibility, with both intent and a way in. That it works because Americans are just that dump just makes the story sadder.

How long are you going to continue blaming others for your posting obvious fake news You are seriously mentally disturbed in my opinion. Are the Martians making you do it?

Production Supervisor at my work: "We need to make the process as error-proof as possible so the operators don't make mistakes." Me: Get rid of the operators with automation. That's the only way you're going to be able to error-proof any process that involves human interaction.

I coudnt be bothered threading this one. Ruskies are coming and I had half nice poll written out and then i was like cannae be bothered and fuked of to the shop for a nice bottle of cheapest bedwetting chardonnay. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-38479179 What nutter said it was a fake news story. Utility wise I imagine all countries to be in each others utility-network - shrugs. Actually I think Comrade Elect Trump to be a total fake news story, Russian propaganda no doubt, and the nutters called Americans to be engaged in Civil War.
