good news .... shedding some light on the dark net
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-28326128

This is what I call a great result ..... I wish that were all of them but I can't help thinking there may be thousands more.
Anyway it's a bit like Gove being sacked ..... a good start !!

BNP Paribas extorted by US government for $9 billion fine
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned this.

US crushed French bank even though it violated no international, or bilateral law, simply because trade is done in dollars. This is abuse of power and signifies that the US no longer upholds a free trade system. It will use the fact that trade is done in dollars to destroy people even if they broke no law.

Essay writing tips
We had fiction, so non-fiction now. Sometimes I really struggle to maintain structure for 10-15,000 words and ramble off in another direction. How do you write a clear concise essay?

Maybe I'm being over sensitive...
But there seems to be a fair bit of misogyny in some posts. All in jest, but still, some posts that are misogynistic in nature. I'm curious as to whether there would be so many if there were more women on the site.

English Writing Skills Thread
Discuss skills that help you write good prose and poetry.

I'll start:
If you are trying to write an argumentative piece, it helps a lot to be concise. A long-winded piece that just says the same thing in ten different ways just leads readers astray.

Sandbox
I used to play on an online diplomacy site that had a sandbox. Is it possible to get one on this site, even if just for classic. I looked on the todo list and saw nothing in reference to it.

Obiwan where are you?!
I just finished watching Joss Whedon's production of Much Ado About Nothing and wanted to learn if you had seen it and what your impression was if you had. I quite enjoyed it and felt it was, at the least, comparable to Branagh's version.

"You know a lot more than I do about electronics though."

You're also in high school and abgemacht sells videogames via bitcoin in his spare time (when he's not moderating or playing diplomacy), which probably means he's a hardcore gamer. Oh no wait, he doesn't have spare time. I forgot.

@abge ... I'm sure they upsell and oversell. They're business employees, after all. Same goes for most sales workers. That's why I'm up front with them and tell them I'm probably not going to buy from that store unless they have price matching, because they get realistic about products really quickly that way.

@THM ... you've been deprived, bro.

@2WL ... jewelry shopping? Gross. Put some beads on a string. (Also Loveless Cafe is fabulous.)

Polish, would be hard to come by there, but there are several predominantly polish neighborhoods in Chicago, as I believe that we have the largest polish population community in the country.

Back at school there was an amazing polish deli we would go to on the weekends. Sandwiches large enough for 2 meals for only a couple dollars. A great variety of sausages and pierogis, too.

I can't disagree with that, 2WL. To call it chili is to call turnip greens lettuce. It has it's place and is great when you are drunk (but we have White Castle for that), but it is *not* chili.

But remember, Cincinnati style chili is to be blamed on the Greeks. They started all the Cinci chili parlors.

There is a case going on in the UK about whether our surveillance service have broken any laws. As they can't confirm or deny what they have done the case is proceeding based on "agreed hypothetical facts". Is this bending the language too far?
