Ping.
Many IT shops these days are little more than ‘digital sweat shops’. I’ve been in the field for many years now, and I’m not sure I’d recommend it to someone starting out.
Careful ... mountain lion season may reopen.
“Vince Foster, Benghazi, Seal Team shot down in one plane, unexplained death... leads to a universal explanation that all deaths are natural and should be ignored.”
Nobody suggests that, you’re just exaggerating again.
“My argument is weak because I do not know what is going on and am seeking an explanation.”
Well, at least the argument is weak, which is more than a lot of the conspiracy mongers around here will cede to, so I give you credit for that.
“A reasonable explanation can be reached form listening to the far left and for right and the conspiracy theories on both sides.”
Can be? Or may be? I think it’s just as likely that listening to all these conspiracy theories will lead you down a bunch of blind allies and no closer to the truth.
I get my daily dose of crackpot on FR now, whether I like it or not, so I’m not going to go out of my way to get some more.
At FR, we, of course, know something bad is coming every day. Obama has 3 more years.
What about the ones that “commited suicide?”
If you threaten to report me to the Mod Squad, I can deliver...
Well, what doesn’t make sense about young professionals in a business facing criminal charges suddenly dying of things that young people don’t normally die of? Note that one “suicide” was of a person who somehow managed to inflict 7 or 8 different nail-gun insertions into his own body, in two different regions of his body. (Ruled a suicide.) If that isn’t at least slightly suspicious, I don’t know what else I could say.

Seems sensible to me. Lot of people, professional or no, die all the time, even when they are facing criminal charges (or not, as it doesn’t seem to matter whether they are to be included in the conspiracy theory).

It would be more suspicious if he managed to kill himself with just one shot from a nail gun, since it’s not really the best choice of weapon for committing suicide. Would it be suspicious to you if someone had to cut themselves a dozen times before they managed to kill themselves with a nail file?
34-yr old heart attack. Uh huh!
I think it is quite important to have an open mind. Alex Jones has some good information but sometimes he is like Orwell’s 1984. A lot of people get depressed with the bad news so it is good to keep an eye on your mental health. No one can possibly be right on everything so no source should be trusted for everything. I will be looking for the book disinformation by the Russian defector. I think the information and methods should be interesting. Believe half of what you see and none of what you hear, but make it entertaining.
I knew (slightly) a guy it happened to. About the same age. A triathlete, even, but with a bad family history. His fiancée went out for a run, came back and found him dead. It happens.
I’m pretty sure, no matter what conspiracy theories might turn out to be true, that Alex Jones is either in it just for the money, or he is pushing disinformation for someone. Almost none of the material that guys puts out actually checks out or even makes much sense. He’s lampooning the people who are actually serious about this stuff and trying to find the truth.
I have been thinking about conspiracy theories and decided that they are a kind of adult cartoon. They are entertaining and almost harmless.
Yeah, sure, for the people that keep them in perspective. Some people don’t though, and their whole thought process seems to start devolving when they get too obsessed.
