    Bad things happen in Syria; could it become worse?

    In the meantime, apparently the Chinese government generates between seven and ten percent of it's revenue from tobacco. Though to be fair, getting cancer from either cigarettes or the industrial environment can't be that different.

    This actually made me go WTF: That anyone with a solid mind and reputation would decide to never trust media again because of a report by Russian state media plagiarising a 2 year old New York Times article and adding a negative spin to it.

    All sides in the conflict accuse him of bias, and even he acknowledges that the truth can be elusive on Syria’s tangled and bitter battlefields. That, he says, is what prompts him to keep a tight leash on his operation.
    “I need to control everything myself,” said Mr. Abdul Rahman, a bald, bearish, affable man. “I am a simple citizen from a simple family who has managed to accomplish something huge using simple means — all because I really believe in what I am doing.”
    He does not work alone. Four men inside Syria help to report and collate information from more than 230 activists on the ground, a network rooted in Mr. Abdul Rahman’s youth, when he organized clandestine political protests. But he signs off on every important update. A fifth man translates the Arabic updates into English for the organization’s Facebook page.
    Mr. Abdul Rahman rarely sleeps. He gets up around 5:30 a.m., calling Syria to awaken his team. First, they tally the previous day’s casualty reports and release a bulletin. Then he alternates between taking news media calls — 10 on a slow day, 15 an hour for breaking news — and contacting activists.
    He transmits his last e-mail around 9 p.m. and continues monitoring news reports and YouTube videos until at least 1 a.m. But urgent news developments frequently disrupt that schedule.
    Recently, for example, rumors of the assassination of Col. Riad al-As’aad, a founder of the rebel Free Syrian Army, erupted about 11 p.m. Mr. Abdul Rahman stayed up contacting activists near the eastern city of Deir al-Zour until 5 a.m. before confirming that the colonel was very much alive, but had lost a leg in a car bombing.
    In other WTF, worst Gameboy game ever?

    See? Never trust the media

    It was intentionally overstating my reaction by the way. This is the wtf thread not the mudpit.

    Always worth keeping a critical mind towards everything and take nothing for granted. Works pretty well.

    I couldn't stop pouring manly tears while watching the Legacy of the void intro. Maybe it could be that I also have fever, but still.

    There is no real adequate way to describe the WTFiness of this website; it must be seen to be believed and understood:

    "Caution! Saurians from hells want to chip you and objects"
    I mean wtf, is there anything in that sentence that makes any sense.
    hells, like more than one? Is a Saurian the distant cousin of a reptilian? Why do the Saurians want to chip me and my possessions, why not one or the other?

    This picture was from the internet that even if they are stuck underneath their horse they would escape. Have you never do a split with 98damage on a lords head and they could still walk away?

    Never got that either. I bashed King Harlaus face so many times that I'm surprised he can stand with enough time to get away.

    No but my head in M&B was hit many times and I just walked away.

    98 damage is not going to hurt someone with 10,000 HP. It feels like a mosquito bite.

    Staff at Facebook's UK arm took home an average of more than £210,000 last year in pay and bonuses, while their employer paid just £4,327 in corporation tax.

    According to Facebook's creative accounts it made a huge accounting loss of £28.5m in Britain in 2014. However it paid its staff , more than £35m to its 362 staff in a share bonus scheme. Operating at a loss meant that Facebook was able to pay less than £5,000 in corporation tax to HM Revenue for the year.
    Each staff member got, on average £96,000 for each member of staff. Once salaries were taken into account, a British employee of Facebook received more than £210,000 on average. Since most of the staff bonuses are for good profits and business practices why would Facebook pay its staff so much for a clearly failed and broke division.

    It's stupid to force companies into doing that. I have always thought that by mere sense, the more the company itself pays it's employees the less taxes it should pay, as an incentive to give better wages to employees, specially the rank and file ones.

    The largest spider known, who can live to be 30, and can vigorously shake off barbed hairs as well.

    Goliath Bird Eating Spider

    I stepped into my shoe while on a Caribbean island and a wolf spider bit my toe. They're definitely creepy.

    The length of their legs is immense.
