Many years ago I tried to publish a book via a blog and micro posts, basically novel via 200 words a day, 5 days a week.

I couldn't get an audience, so I kind of gave up on it.

Maybe the times are more right for something like that these days.

That said, my novel might not have been that good.

One of Saudi Arabia requests was that Al Jazeera got shut down.

As a Canadian making a decent wage, but not living outside my means, I guess this article explains why I feel like I'm being left behind.

I had a coworker who got a condon and was paying 45% of his income for it, it made no sense. So I keep renting and wasting my money as people say, but at least I wouldn't go bankrupt if something bad happens.

Conspiracy theory, this is related to the changing dynamics of popular media. These advertisers are actually concerned about money going to non-approved media sources. The extremists videos are a happy coincidence / excuse for them to act on.

My parents pulled me out of public school and sent me to a private school that could teach me given my special needs. Best decision for everyone, sucks though that they had to pay my tuition in addition to all the taxes.

Learning Japanese, it's been hard to realize that the most important part of a sentence is always at the end.

Facebook, Twitter, Snap should be co-operatives of some sort, the users are creating the value, at least the popular ones, so they should be rewarded within the system for their continued support and audience development.

Naw, I specifically said I don't trust the government.

Parents should be able to choose the kind of school their child goes to... Though, this is unfair to kids with bad parents. That said, people who will (knowingly) be bad parents, shouldn't have kids in the first place.

As a child, I had a learning disability, my school's principal told my parents that I'd never do anything with my life. My parents disagree and so did I, they found a private school that specialized in teaching students like me. The school did some intellectual tests to make sure I could learn, and learn I did.

They spent tens of thousands of dollars so that I could be taught, in that environment I excelled.

I don't trust the government to be a good judge of students abilities, because someone like me would be labelled dumb and be left behind forever.

Technically if you were pressing an alternative theory than you would be using 'alternative facts.' Facts are tools or pieces to build something, such as a theory.

We all experience alternative realities and use our 'alternative facts' to justify our beliefs. We all literally do this every single day.

As a libertarian or a marxist one has 'alternative facts' about the nature of humans, society and the environment, from there they build up their world.

I don't like Trump, never have. But the way the media baits his words and expects us to be appalled is absurd and dishonest.

I think you underestimate the ideological and political influences on science.

I get it, fake news is a problem because a new product is coming to solve the 'problem' of fake news.

You are right about the modern life being the problem for most of us.
