Boston suspect "too cute to be guilty"


Recommended Posts

There is a lot more to be embarrassed about.

Yeah, like those who feel entitled to every new "cool" thing (ie. iPhones) with the only purpose of loooking cool. WTF

I would take what this bimbo is saying with a single grain if credibility. I'll bet a months pay that she's just doing this for 15 minutes of fame.

I think this is a symptom of a much bigger problem: the insatiable need by my (our?) generation for fame & attention. People will do almost anything for 15 seconds of fame. They'll do anything for 15 minutes.

You say that but when was the last time US soldiers protected US soil? I can understand those who fought against invading Nazi forces during WWII being considered heroes but that title isn't fitting for the modern era of conflicts.

Who said anything about US soldiers? Regardless of what nation you live in, his statement still stands regardless of which side of the pond you're on.

Maybe she's just under the impression that her thoughts are really really important and need to be said out loud. Like a lot of people on the Internet.

Who said anything about US soldiers?

My post was in response to an American poster claiming that soldiers protect people's right to live "a happy peaceful hypocritical life of judging everyone" and I was simply pointing out that very few?if any?US military engagements have been in defence of US soil or the rights of individual Americans. That criticism also applies to most modern military conflicts, including those of the UK and France - the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan haven't been to protect the lives of people in the UK or France and arguably haven't been to protect the freedoms of those in Iraq or Afghanistan either. Modern militaries are used to further imperialist agendas, concerned more with securing economic assets than protecting the freedoms of individuals.

The point being that those?like this girl?who blindly defend an alleged terrorist like Dzhokhar Tsarnaev are little different to those who blindly regard soldiers as heroes. Blind faith in someone or something is very dangerous.

You wouldn't stand in the face of opposition of anything, you wouldn't even defend yourself from an attacker. Those that get fired at because of someone else's orders deserves some recognition.

I would fight to defend my country or to defend the freedoms of others. However, I wouldn't join the military to have my actions dictated to by a corrupt political system. I wouldn't risk my live fighting against an attacker for material items, though I'd fight to defend my property and my personal safety.

Absolutely. I have respect for those who serve in the military - I just don't automatically consider them heroes, nor do I assume they are fighting for a noble cause.

HIGHLY DOUBTFUL, The way you post on this forum. I doubt that you would fight to defend your country, you'd come up with some stupid reason why the invading army should take over your country. " We deserved it, our foreign policy made them invade us".Could totally see you saying that. You wouldn't plain and simple I mean you call people like me nuts because we stand up for what we believe in.

It's not about fighting for a noble cause chap its about those guys fighting for one another. When they are out there fighting i'm sure they don't think that they're fighting for this great cause, they're fighting because they were ordered and they're fighting for the guy next to them. That is why they are hero's, not because of some "noble cause".

I have no idea of your long standing argument but im going to wade in nationalism is stupid, patriotism is stupid, love of the flag any flag stupid, military worship stupid. Why because in each case the one (nation country flag military) you support is totally dependant on where you live. I wouldn't defend my country unless I was threatened personally. Fighting because you are "ordered" is not noble and any solider who has killed is a murderer to me. *maybe minus direct defence of home soil but its another topic.

You forgot one - Going off topic is stupid!

Yep patriotism, love for the flag and country is stupid.. Until the England national team gets on the pitch right? Then everyone gets out their flag and proclaims England the best! :rolleyes:

Amusing.

Hell no I hate football.

One mention of the US and the whole thread goes to hell, typical.

Umm why are you stating the name of the place twice America = Hell.

Amusingly stupid.

If your American your biased.... how can you have a proper view on how good or bad your nation is. I accept mine as an oppressor of 1/3 of the Earth for example I know my counties miss deeds Id leave here in a heart beat.

Patriotism is proud of a country's virtues and eager to correct its deficiencies; it also acknowledges the legitimate patriotism of other countries, with their own specific virtues. The pride of nationalism, however, trumpets its country's virtues and denies its deficiencies, while it is contemptuous toward the virtues of other countries. It wants to be, and proclaims itself to be, "the greatest," but greatness is not required of a country; only goodness is.

Okay so what it makes no rational sense to have national pride or patriotism, you could have been born in north Korea! Care about and correct there deficiencies assure you there the bigger problem. Then again you Americans think the world ought to admire you for freedom the rest of the world has had for centuries name me one unique virtue of America

What? Stereo typing much. I see it all the time on this forum. How people from around the world think that American's think everyone else should be like us but in reality it seems like people from other countries want us to be like them or think they know whats best for my country..

Consider this: Why do people think like that about America, hint there is a reason. Your foreign policy does not help. You wage wars to make the world uphold American values of your version of freedom and democracy, enter other nations for your benefit. Osama Bin Laden, Iraq....

"We" meaning americans, don't wage any wars. Sorry brotato. It's not like we have any control over what our government does. And that is a problem and a true legit gripe you might have. We dislike the things our government does just as much as the rest of the world.

So yeah, please stop generalizing. All the america hate that people spew on this forum at even the smallest opportunity is really getting old.

As for the OP...well the girl made another video where she talks about how the "internet" ruined her life. She said that over the last week or so she's gotten dozens of pizzas in the middle of the night thanks to 4chan. As bad as 4chan is that's actually pretty amusing. I think the entire situation is just one big troll for attention, though.

    • Apple Watch Series 11 GPS just crashed to 30% off in this fast-moving Prime Day deal by Karthik Mudaliar The Apple Watch Series 11 is available for $279, down from its $399 list price, saving buyers $120, or 30%. Amazon labels the offer as selling fast, so the current price may not remain available for long. This GPS model features a 42mm aluminum case, an Always-On Retina LTPO3 OLED display capable of reaching up to 2,000 nits, and an Ion-X glass surface with improved scratch resistance. Apple rates Series 11 for up to 24 hours of normal use or up to 38 hours in Low Power Mode, with fast charging providing up to eight hours of use from a 15-minute charge. Health and fitness tools include sleep scoring, temperature sensing, ECG support, heart-rate alerts, workout tracking, sleep apnea notifications, and hypertension notifications, where available. The watch also carries IP6X dust resistance and 50-meter water resistance. This configuration is best suited to iPhone owners who want comprehensive health tracking, notifications, contactless payments, and workout data without stepping up to a larger or cellular-equipped model. The smaller case should also appeal to buyers who prefer a lighter watch, while the S/M band fits wrists measuring 130mm to 180mm. With the current generation now significantly below its usual retail price, this is a strong time to replace an aging Apple Watch or buy a first model without compromising on Apple’s newest health and display features. Grab the discounted Apple Watch Series 11 (sold and shipped by Amazon) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • GitHub removes manual model selection from Copilot free and student plans by Karthik Mudaliar GitHub is removing the ability to manually select an AI model from its Copilot Free and Student plans, making its automatic routing system the default and only way to choose a model. This means users on these tiers will no longer be able to deliberately select a particular OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or Microsoft model for a task. In its announcement, GitHub said Copilot Auto will dynamically choose what it considers the best model for each request. Free and Student accounts will retain access to models from multiple families, although the available selection will continue to depend on the restrictions attached to each plan. GitHub did not identify a fixed pool of models that Auto will always use, and its documentation warns that model availability can change over time. GitHub describes Auto as more than a random fallback system. On supported surfaces, its task-optimization technology evaluates the complexity of a request alongside real-time information about model health and availability. Straightforward prompts can be routed to faster and less expensive models, while more demanding coding tasks may be sent to higher-cost reasoning models. The company says this approach should reduce rate limiting, latency, and failed requests. Auto generally selects one model along natural prompt-caching boundaries rather than repeatedly switching models during a session, as GitHub found that mid-session changes increased costs without producing sufficient improvements in output quality. Users can still check which model generated a response. In Copilot Chat, the information appears when hovering over an answer, while Copilot CLI and the Copilot cloud agent display the selected model alongside their output. Auto is available in Copilot Chat, Copilot CLI, and the cloud agent, with the exact implementation and release status varying between supported development environments. The latest restriction follows several months of adjustments to Copilot’s individual plans. GitHub temporarily halted new Pro, Pro+, and Student subscriptions in April as it sought to manage demand and service reliability. It later introduced token-based billing and began gradually reopening individual-plan registrations on June 17. Alongside the picker change, GitHub is retiring the “Preview” label from Microsoft-developed models. It argues that the label is no longer necessary because Auto handles model routing and models are continuously updated behind the scenes.
