Re: How to report a problem on BlueStacks 4?

scoey — Mon, 25 May 2020 20:17:16 -0000

Somehow the screenshots above do no match my version of Bluestacks version 106.10 (2058). There is no "Menu icon" in the bluestacks window. There is nothing like that in the application's drop-down menu either. I cannot make "a report". My trouble is with DirecTV's app crashing 4/5 times I use it and not at all presenting video on screen. I get audio, but no video.

Why? That's a question that only a parent can answer for sure. We can guess. Look at how many voters are parents. Look at how many of those parents are brain-dead drones, giving children unfettered access to powerful communications devices that you'd have needed top-level government clearance to possess just 20 years ago, and you might have some idea. If you want to piss off a parent, tell them they have made a mistake in their parenting. They react like you've taken a dump on the hood of their car. It is much easier to blame others for their failures. And they do.

No, didn't you read the article? Their goal is to make money, not to show porn to kids. The fact that they make porn ads "available" to kids is just a way to make money. In the United States, it is established to be 100% legal to murder children, cause them permanent disabilities, and to cause them life-long illnesses that will ruin their quality of life...so long as your intention is to MAKE MONEY and the harm done to the children is an "unfortunate but necessary result" of your pure American greed. Nothing will be done to charge these scumbags with a sex crime, since they will simply have their lawyer argue that their goal was to make money. The judge will not allow the jury to consider anything else. The judge might just talk to the defendants later about doing business, especially if the judge was nominated by Trump. Have you seen the lives judges live? They are not in this game for justice. Follow the money.

I'm hoping everyone reading this realizes there will NEVER be a bad review of a film on this site. The writers are paid to manufacture language intended to get you in those theater seats. I read a few comments now and then encouraging people to "grow up". It's time for all consumers to "grow up" and unshackle themselves from the materialist religion that enslaves them. I intend to see this film no matter what reviews say, but don;t make the mistake of thinking anything you read on this site will be an unbiased, honest review.

Re: “We Don’t Need a Warrant” — Cops Enter Home Through Window, Rip Infant From Mother’s Arms

scoey — Sun, 07 Aug 2016 22:25:12 -0000

Brian, I'm not stupid so don't try to pin that on me. I do disagree with you for this reason: There was no threat. These people clearly were NOT injured, as the call from Kentucky claimed, and the fact that they did not want to go outside to talk to police is not a valid sign of any distress or sign anyone is in danger. You have probably heard of people getting "SWATted" wherein a person calls in an anonymous "tip" saying there is an armed person making threats and a SWAT team is dispatched to a home of someone trying to sleep or otherwise enjoying what they thought would be a quite evening when suddenly a helicopter is hovering overhead and a voice on a megaphone tells them "We have you surrounded! Release the hostages, disarm the nuclear device, and come out with your alien tentacles where we can see them!"

How is this situation any different? Are we to believe that cops MUST INSIST that someone come outside and talk to them or otherwise they suspect foul play and break into their home?

This is how dictatorships act, but is that US now too? Anyone, including a corrupt government agent, could call in a phony domestic disturbance call so that a cop can enter a residence into which they otherwise would need a warrant? Is it that simple to discard the 4th amendment?

I'm asking, Brian, not declaring. Isn't this a bit like saying there is no protection from unreasonable search and seizure, so long as a cop can say "We got a tip." and entered a home with no warrant and no sign of a disturbance? I would hope, at the very least, that if they found evidence of something UNRELATED to domestic abuse but still criminal, such as a counterfeit money operation, or a meth lab, that they would not be able to make an arrest since they came into the house based on a false abuse report.

I realize you might not want to respond to a thread two months old, but I'm interested in your reply.

Igor, I must wonder if you are a satirist, because the compounded linguistic errors in your message above seem not to be attributable to a mere matter of English being your second language. Most notable is your glaring ignorance about how to properly use capital letters. You capitalize words in the middle of a sentence which need no capitals, yet fail to capitalize several proper nouns such as Soviet, Russia, and Satin. Of course, I assume you meant "Satan", because it would be odd for parents to sell children to satin, which is a fabric.

Also, God should have all the patience in the universe, considering he/she/it is not bound by time but is infinite, but if God is running out of "patients", it can only be because God is not a good clinician, as patients are the customers of doctors, dentists, or therapists.

If you feel the way you do about our country, then clearly you made a mistake and should pack immediately for Russia, if they will have you. However, as I'm told by my Russian friends that English is a far more simple language than Russian, you are probably not held in high regard there either. I think they would call you a "defective" or "invalid" or some other such disparaging remark.

Good luck in your return to a place where the leader of the country is trying to build a relationship with the man who will be known for the century to come as one of the biggest morons America has ever produced. If possible, please take El Trumpo with you.

I just watched the biography he did with his son a few months back. He was kinda like a younger version of my grandpa or an older brother to my dad in that story. He was one of those "Embodiment of the American Dream" type of guys. I hope he didn't suffer too much with his COPD. I'm glad the president took the time to recognize him this way. Anyone's death is a sad occasion, but a remarkable life like Leaonardo Nimoy's calls for a special tribute, no matter who is president at the time.

Re: Apple: No, OS X Yosemite Spotlight Isn’t Spying On You

scoey — Tue, 11 Nov 2014 20:03:55 -0000

This is the second article I've seen on this subject, and the second
time the author blatantly lies to the reader in a "jedi mind trick"
way. How can you, in one sentence, report that Apple continues to spy
on the user...oh, excuse me, "collect and transmit data" on the user
even after they have "opted out" of both "Spotlight Suggestions" and
"Location Services" and then in your cute little "Go ahead and...but
don't..." comment subtly imply that they are not spying. OBVIOUSLY,
Apple is spying on their users, going to a great deal of trouble to tell
them they ARE spying on their users, but somehow also saying they are
NOT spying on their users. When is an argument NOT an argument?
Apparently when Apple says so. I'd say it's abuse. Brothers and
sisters, if they continue to collect and transmit your IP address after
you "opt out" of the aforementioned "services" (who is REALLY being
served?) then they have not, in truth, given you an "opt out" option.
All they are really doing is turning off the feature that might be most
useful to YOU, but continuing to collect the exact same information, for
whatever purpose they, or Microsoft, or the NSA has in mind. If you do
a search for "jihad" or "exploding toothbrush" or "hack the NSA", then
what you search for will only yield a result if those words are in a
file or a filename on your HD, but the query, the words you input into
Spotlight, are sent to Microsoft, Apple, the NSA, or whomever, along
with your IP address. Just like the fact that the NSA has access to
your library records through the "Patriot Act", they will now know what
you are searching for ON YOUR OWN HARD DRIVE. Hell, they'll apparently
already have a complete INDEX of your drive's contents, updated in real
time. How convenient. What Apple SAYS they will use that information
for is irrelevant. They may use it for what they say they're using it
for plus a WHOLE LOT MORE they are not saying anything about because you
don't have the right clearance to know.
I guess we weren't using
our rights enough so the oligarchs decided we wouldn't miss it if they
just kind of, "phased them out" through "updates".

Did this blogster learn how to ask and then answer her own questions from Donald Rumsfeld? Yes. Is she using this quaint, almost folksy method of audience manipulation to neatly cover up what she revealed in the context of her own article, namely that Apple does NOT afford true privacy at all, but will in fact collect IP address information on user queries EVEN AFTER the user "opts out" of location "services"? YES SHE IS.

Gosh Hannah, why would you so blatantly ignore a glaring contradiction in Apple's statements like that?

I'll do you the courtesy you do not allow your readers, to answer genuine questions in a genuine manner.

Re: Biden: No Ordinary American Cares About Their Constitutional Rights... (Video)

scoey — Sun, 13 Jul 2014 18:10:47 -0000

While I agree that most of what government does these days (meaning the 20th century and beyond) is about control, your liberal, non-WASP bogeyman is not the puppet master. If you really knew your bible, you wouldn't have injected to much obvious bigotry into your diatribe. Give it up. You're no more a Christian than Obama is. You ALMOST made sense in your reply until you had to go the hate route. Muslims and gays are not exclusively Democrats, but if they were, it would certainly be because hate mongers like YOU, hiding behind a burning cross, make it clear they are not welcome under the GOP tent. It's really funny to see that you toe the party line in EVERY bit of conspiracy dogma you write. Sadly, the only things you said that DO make sense are things that you IGNORE when the GOP is in power. Obama indeed is a war criminal, a hijacker of the constitution, and a run-of-the-mill egotistical freedom trampler...but only in the same way that Bush and most modern presidents are. If you only WOULD care about liberty and the rights of ALL citizens, you could join the real fight to end the two-party tyranny we've put up with all our lives. You cartoonish klansmen love this system when the votes go your way, but cry "tyrant!" only when laws you disagree with are passed. If you woke up and realized that the wool is so far down over your eyes that you're a SHEEP for the two-party exclusionary system, you might see a bit more clearly. Muslims, gays and environmentalists are not your enemy. Entrenched wealthy and powerful elites are. Worse than your enemy, they are your masters, from cradle to grave. Jesus tried to warn us of this, and he was assassinated, not by gays, not by Muslims (nor by Jews for that matter), not by black, lesbian, Prius-drivers on birth control pills paid for by Obamacare, but by ENTRENCHED WEALTHY POWERFUL ELITES, all of whom would today be considered, by the less-educated and less-intelligent among us, to be WHITE. This does not mean all white people are evil. Most are not. But white supremacy is the real religion preached by your kind, out of bibles written and printed by the entrenched wealthy and powerful elites who are groomed from birth to control you. They have had to modify their language in recent years, and in some cases change the racist dogma, but it's never been race or other forms of bigotry on their agenda anyway. That's just how they control you. Weak-minded people are easily fooled into thinking the very people who are most kindred to them are their enemies. That's why I am willing to forgive your ignorance and bigotry, and that of the rest of the followers of the right agenda, if you'll put down your swastika flags and assault rifles and pick up a history book now and then. Join us in the REAL fight for liberty.

BULLSHIT! He didn't say that! Watch it again. Still, I'm not sure
who's coming off sounding more of an idiot, Biden for his obvious
hyperbole, or the person who wrote the headline for this post and thinks
so little of his readership that he thinks they won't notice how far
off the mark it is from what Mr. Biden said. Maybe, if that's WHAT HE
SAID, the mainstream media WOULD be all over it. Thankfully, it's NOT
and you and whatever idiots re-post this are lying to promote an agenda
of violence and death. He said "No law-abiding citizen in the United
States of America has any fear that their Constitutional rights will be
infringed in any way. None. Zero." He said this in the context of a
speech about common-sense control over ASSAULT WEAPONS, which the law
enforcement unions and leadership around the nation are BEGGING for us
to institute. But facts, to paraphrase and augment what Mr. Biden, are
not important to right-wing morons with an agenda of violence and
death. He may have slightly overstated, MAY have misspoken a bit in the
sense that not all borderline psychopaths with arsenals in their
basements (or bedrooms) have necessarily broken the law YET. But a
psychopath is a psychopath and if someone owns many more guns,
especially assault weapons, than they do pizza cutters or automatic drip
coffee machines, they are most likely psychopaths and are more likely
to kill a family member up for a midnight snack or a family member who
"JUST WON'T SHUT UP AND LISTEN!!!" than the average citizen who may own
one or two guns but keeps them and the ammunition separate and LOCKED
UP. This clip, like most of the brain-dead propaganda by the right-wing
gun nuts, is wildly disconnected from the "headline", and is taken so
far out of any reasonable context that it nearly (but not quite) proves
the point that the gun lobby, the NRA, and the gun manufacturing
murderers of this country (and other countries who pay to keep Americans
needlessly armed to the teeth) have NO MORALS and no moral ground to
stand on in the debate over the slow and steady effort to rid our
streets of assault weapons. Until there are those "well-regulated
militia" prepared to defend the country, we need not expand the original
meaning of the 2nd Amendment to include eccentric hobbies of
brain-damaged knuckle-draggers. Average citizens should not have to
live in fear that the Klan member with the Confederate flag AND the Nazi
flag (big contradiction, BTW) displayed in his conspicuously ALWAYS
OPEN GARAGE is going to finally break a circuit and light up the
increasingly non-white neighborhood with his bullets of hate. Biden is
probably one of the smartest men and worst-spoken politicians (no one
tops Latin student, Dan Quayle in worst-spoken) who's ever held the Veep
seat. He is certainly ineloquent compared to Obama, Clinton or Reagan,
but he's nothing near the idiot he sometimes sounds like.

I wonder if you, Fleetwood, were one of those Faux News devoteès who agreed that rapper/poet/actor Common should not have been invited to perform at the White House. The righties always seem to step on their own forked tongues and with them pull their feet right into their mouths. Fox was in a rage against Obama when he invited Common to speak, saying his songs glorified violence and killing, when they would only have needed to actually READ his lyrics to see the OPPOSITE was true. It would be as if when Fox reported on the Rodney King riots...oh...wait, that's right. Fox has only been distorting the news since 1996! Has it only been that long? Well, if Fox HAD reported on the Rodney King riots, by the standards by which they judged Common, Fox would have been glorifying black on white violence, because that's all they would have reported.

My point is that Ryan, like Fox, are not interested in listening to the thoughts of people who don't agree with them. For that reason, above all, they attempt to silence those who dissent and muddy the waters with propaganda to confuse issues and discourage the masses from true political participation.

This is because the GOP doesn't want a high voter turn-out in ANY election, since the majority in most political arenas sides with the Democrats. The GOP achieve power by stifling dissent and keeping voter turnout LOW. Which is why they have been working hard with money from ALEC to enact voter registration laws to prevent low income and minorities from being allowed to vote. They can't use facts to present their cases, so they present these laws in states where they have control over what courts (under what judges) the inevitable law suits are heard. Today's ruling in Pennsylvania is an example.

The GOP has made a habit of trying to use the songs of their political opponents as their political anthems. Why? For two reasons:

1. It is a cynical attempt to trick voters into thinking the song's writers or performers are behind their campaigns.

2. There are very few people with the compassionate heart and creative spirit needed to write a popular anthem who believe in the kinds of fascist policies the GOP now stands for. There only so many Toby Keith, Ted Nugent and Hank Williams Jr. songs to go around, and the lyrics of their most popular songs are less than "family friendly".

BTW, Ted Nugent's most popular song ever, "Catch Scratch Fever", which is obviously a song about the desire for promiscuous sex, contains the following lyrics:

"Well the first time that I got it
I was just 10 years old
I got it from some kitty next door"

and...

"Well I make a pussy purr
with the stroke of my hand
They know they`re gettin' it from me "

How, EXACTLY does Mike Huckabee want to explain his buddy-buddy relationship and guesta appearances on his show in which he PLAYS THAT SONG with Nugent, when it clearly promotes pre-teen sex?

^The funny thing here is...I'm not making this up, like Faux News. That song actually DOES promote pre-teen sex. Not that I'm fit to judge...but I'm sure Huckabee would have a tough time if he had R. Kelly on his show.

The word "charity" needs to be defined for this off-topic debate to have any meaning. I know of no better definition than to give of your own fortune to ease the burden of the less fortunate. This is something Ryan and his fellow Ayn Randians consider to be a sin. The statistics on "charity" giving likely reflect donations to "non-profits", which can have many different and varied mission goals, none of which have to include true CHARITY to be counted in such statistics. Besides, no matter what your politics, giving money is not nearly as valuable as donating time to WORK for a cause. When a republican volunteers, it's usually to strip others of their rights or tear others down. When it's a liberal, it's do defend another's rights or lift them up. The obvious contradiction that righties will counter with is that republicans fight for the right to keep arsonals of weapons intended only for mass killing, the right to beat or otherwise abuse their kids, and the right to bully women and gays. Of course, their spin doctors call it: "Protecting 2nd Amendment rights" (though I see none of them volunteering for a well-regulated militia with their privately held arms), "protecting parental rights" (though if the parental "right" is to prevent the abortion of an incestuous pregnancy, whose rights are being violated?)If they fight for the right to corporaly punish their child, whose rights are violated?), "protecting religious rights" (though the Christian faith that most of the GOP espouses does NOT give them the right to judge others and they ignore the fact that religious mandates are open to the interpretation of individuals, not governments, as the Constitution establishes).
