What I'm working on, mixed with obvious lies. Always with the lying.

Got my results back. They confirm my belief that I am a) superintelligent and b) riddled with cognitive biases.

This means I can get on with my plans for oppression by working for a huge corporate law firm. Bwahaetc.

I thought this was interesting. Defamation laws in Australia have been used to sue a newspaper for saying some fairly unpleasant things about people who provided character references to a man accused of the possession of child pornography. The bit I found interesting was that the newspaper allowed a comments section; it was accepted that this entailed the comments being published under that masthead.
That means that a) anybody who has commented under an internet news story has now officially been published by that paper, b) judges are going to have to get to grips with the concept of people who write "firsties!!!1!!! LOLZ" and nothing else and c) we can potentially get the hell sued out of our least favourite newspaper. Or us, depending on how far they plan to take this.

If anyone comments on this, please keep it non-defamatory.

That's it, we're all fucked. They haven't managed a flying car or doors that woosh open when I walk up to them, but apparently cloned cyborg criminals are just around the corner.

Actually, that sounds kind of awesome. I'm an idiot for saying that, aren't I?
