What is the best way to reduce the amount of disinformation?
Call it fake news or whatever you want, but the dissemination of factually incorrect statements is a disservice to the electorate. We all like the first amendment and free speech, but once you have enough viewers/followers etc, should you be held to a higher standard of accuracy?

Ivanka Trump perfume
Yeah, I hear that it's number 1 on Amazon. But are the orders real? Are individuals buying it, or are there bulk orders from the Russians coming in? -- orders that will never be delivered (and even if they were, it takes only pennies to make perfume in China).

What is the best way to refresh game pages?
a simple browser refresh has the added problem of reposting the last message you sent over and over

also what is the point of 5 minute games if it takes 3 minutes for the server to actually change the page contents after orders have been processed.

Reliability Rating?
Why do people make games with RR of like 25% or even 50%? Do you really want someone in a game who misses 75% of their moves, or even 50%? I don't know what the usual reliability ratings are of players, but I'd hope they are basically all greater than 80%.

Question for Trump Supporters
This is a serious question for those of you who are supporting Trump. Back in January 2016, Trump said, "I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters." And it certainly looks that way from the outside. So I'm curious...what things would Trump to do lose your support?

If you're not a Trump supporter, please refrain from telling the Trump supporters who respond about why they are wrong.

Depends on the suppliers
Eg pizza from a really good independent pizza shop should beat a Maccas burger.
But, a burger from a small fish and chip / burger shop in a village by the sea, or a burger from a "burger specialty shop" should beat a pizza from a global franchised pizza outfit

With food I look for independent providers who use locally sourced high quality food ingredients, eg the eggs are "free range" from a local supplier, rather than eggs from caged birds and trucked a thousand kilometres.
The last time I tried a burger from a Maccas type operation, I refused to accept it and ended up getting a refund. Why, because I'd gone by the "photo" by the menu which showed the particular type of burger beside a bottle of soft drink & the burger in the photo was as tall as the drink inside the bottle..so nearly as tall as the bottle.. The burger delivered barely was one third the height of the bottle.. So I arced up, refused to accept it, got a bottle of the soft drink shown in the photo, pointed out the discrepancy and gave the staff, then manager three choices, 1 make a burger the size advertised, 2 refund my money or 3 have every window in their building smashed within a month although that would just be an unfortunate coincidence & I would have an airtight alibi.
They chose to promptly refund my money, and I've been much more selective in where I purchase fast food, although I rarely do that. Prefer "home cooked" as a better way, or I'll buy the "raw ingredients" eg nice multi grain baguette, 2 slices of ham, bit of cheese, a tomato and an avocado and "slap it together" myself.

btw this is mostly just preference, so there's not really a right and wrong. We're comparing each of these dishes at their best. Of these choices, I like pizza because it seems to have a better social component (i.e., pizza can be and is often shared), and seems slightly more versatile in terms of what ingredients/toppings it can have.

close second though is a jalapeno blue cheese burger. mannn those are good.

MajorMitchell- as savage as that sounds. Don't you think it's a little extreme to smash the windows? In most cases corporate employees and managers have strict recipe cards and don't make their ads. It would seem your issue wasn't with the staff but with their corporate overloads. Not to mention that the windows getting smashed would not hurt the corporation as with most corporate chains damages come out of the individual store sales; and specifically the part responsible for raises, bonuses, and equipment purchasing. So by smashing the windows you'd be hurting people who were just following orders. Also I work in a restaurant; I've had some people complain about the difference between the picture and reality after they've eaten the food; in those cases I kindly inform them that by eating the food they consented to the size and quality and if they had made issue when the food was originally presented and before it was consumed I would be able to refund. Then before they complain I compare it to a travel ticket on a long range bus. You can't get refunded after you've riden unless you were harmed in some way. I've also had someone threaten my place of employment and my response is the same "so should I call the police now for terroristic threats? Or wait til after you leave?"

If fools like MajorMitchell get their way, the Trump agenda will be stymed by the traditional short-sightedness that comes from establishment Republicans and Democrats. And if that happens, we all know that China will then eventually take over the US first, and then the whole world to follow. So the only appropriate answer given the existance of people like MajorMitchell:

Burgers: 2
Pizza: 5
Fried Chicken: 1
Chips(Fries): 2
Onion Rings: 2
Tacos:1
Bowl of Rice: 1 (that's all the commie dictators are going to allow you to have)
WyattS14 (100 D(B))

I think the bowl of rice deserves a chance... Since it was just now added, I'll add the average of all other choices to the bowl of rice... Bowl of rice has 3.16666667 votes, plus my vote, which puts bowl of rice at 4.16666667 votes

Fried Chicken as long as I can eat it in pajamas and a loose enough shirt at home where none can see my secret shame.
grumbledook (569 D(S))
28 Feb 17 UTC
See, this is such a hard question to answer. If I had a gun to my head the answer is clearly pizza, because pizza is fucking awesome. Plus, as teacon said there is a social component to pizza (unless grumbledook's wife has a work meeting and has a cheap pizza to himself, then it's time for *my* secret shame).

On the other hand nothing beats going out for a great burger and beer on a Friday night because sometimes you just have to eat bloody iron filled meat. I'd say a burger and beer even top pizza and beer. Then again, when I want fried chicken nothing else will do. So, no right answer.

If you really want to fight about something, we should be arguing about the proper toppings on a pizza.

As long as the argument doesn't consist of pineapples being on pizza..

Am I rebellious?
People often seem to think of me as rebelling against a status quo, but I see that differently. I do what I can to follow the path that I perceive to be right and this path happens to lead away from where most paths lead. I happen to cross boundaries, breaking unwritten rules as I go. Rebellion, to me, is about removing and destroying things you disagree with. I don't destroy, I just follow my own rules without seeking conflict. Discuss..
