#5: ESPN Announcer Daydreams About Britney Spears
I'm not much of a sports fan. As such, I'm not all that familiar with the conventions of football commentary, but still, even I can tell that there's something off about this. Mostly because the other guys are like "What the fuck are you talking about?" before quickly and clumsily shifting the focus back to football. It's almost like they're scared that thinking about Britney is gonna turn them gay. Probably because it will. That's how they (the gays) got Perez Hilton.
#4: The Worst Comedian Ever
Funny Hat and ill-fitting suit jacket? Check. Camcorder set up on a tripod in the corner of your parents' basement? Check. Actual jokes? Not so much. I'm not saying that jokes about fat chicks aren't funny (they are, obviously), but there are no actual jokes here - he's just saying that fat chicks exist and assuming that that will be enough to make us laugh. The saddest part about it is that usually that IS enough to make me laugh. Somehow this kid managed to make it unfunny. You've heard of observational humor? This is more like observational observation. My guess is that this is either a brilliant performance art piece or a secret disaster that should have been taped over immediately. Although either way we get to laugh at him, so I guess it doesn't really matter.
#3: Chuck E. Cheese Walkabout Character Guide
I didn't actually make it all the way through this video (it's a whopping TEN MINUTES LONG), but I wanted to share it here anyway to prove a point: If it's exists, you can probably find it on the internet. What do you think was going through the guy's head (let's face it - it was probably a guy) who uploaded this to YouTube? Was he a former Walkabout Character himself? Was he sharing trade secrets to get back at his former employer? Maybe he felt that Walkabout training needed to be preserved digitally for posterity's sake. Okay - he was probably just a stoned college kid, but the internet was built on the backs of stoned college kids in the first place. Lets give credit where credit is due.
#2: Len Cella's Moron Movies
Len Cella's "Moron Movies" appeared originally on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show. A collection of his shorts were collected on VHS in the 80s and were supposedly widely distributed for a while - no small feat considering what they are: short, self-produced, and totally fucking bizarre pseudo-jokes by an angry hermit from Broomall, Pennsylvania. His latest venture, CRAP, looks slightly less promising, but his earlier "work" is almost too awesome for words. My personal favorites are "How To Save Time" and "World's Worst Ghost." "How To Aggravate" is up there, too. Genius or moron? You decide. I'll give you a hint: Dude's a genius.
#1: Swedish Hostess Throws Up On Live TV
What can I say? Barf is funny!

Q: Maintaining and using a list of user in backend using django I am building a web-chat application using django and django-channels. I have figured out the actual chat part, however I was trying to implement a random chat pairing feature which would allow to pair any two user who choose to chat randomly. I cannnot figure out how to implement this in the backend to create a sort of list which would update automatically and from which I can take two user, pair them and thus remove them from the list. I hope, my question is clear.

A: Keep a model in which you track all logged in users that are not in a chat. When 2 people enter a chat, remove them from the model same for log-out/disconnecting from the websocket in the waiting room. To match 2 people, you can select 2 random people from the model, remove them and send them to the correct chatroom

The prefix "nano" is gaining an increasing presence in public consciousness, from invocations of the nanometre (nm) as a unit of measurement for our burgeoning silicon technology's tininess (as in Intel's latest 32nm processors), to the hubristically named iPod nano, which is a bit smaller than the others. The prominence of this word in our culture is set to rocket over the coming decades as more tightly defined "nanotechnology" becomes available – for example, Nokia is hoping to release a nanotech phone that it calls the Morph in 2015.
A commonly accepted definition of nanotechnology is that it deals with devices smaller than 100nm in size. A nanometre is one billionth of a metre. A single atom is between a tenth to half a nanometre across; a million or more of them stacked on top of one another would equal the thickness of a piece of paper. Nanotech machines will use individual atoms and molecules as mechanical moving parts, and will enable us to take apart and rebuild just about anything atom by atom.
If this sounds like science fiction, consider that you're carrying trillions of proofs of concept around inside you that could only be viewed with an electron microscope; every time your DNA is transcribed into RNA, or your muscle cells use fuel from food for movement, or your immune system fights off an infection, the work is done by nanomachines – devices built out of atoms and molecules which do mechanical work.
In his book, Engines of Creation, K Eric Drexler reminded readers that every manmade and natural object around us is an arrangement of (mostly very common) atoms and molecules. The ability to arrange those molecules more regularly will allow us to build materials many times stronger and lighter than those used in engineering today. This could bring a space elevator within reach, allowing us to explore the solar system and exploit the resources of the planets and asteroids cheaply. In the body, nanomachines could fight disease, or even aging, one atom at a time, restoring them to the configurations characteristic of healthy tissue.
An advanced nanotechnology would be capable of repairing the damage we have done to our environment, capturing carbon out of the air and salting it away under the earth, or using it to build the light, strong, diamond-like materials the nanotech-enabled human-scale technology will depend on. Ultimately, the most basic and useful elements we will need (carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, etc) can be harvested out of the air and dirt, and assembled into useful configurations with barely an hour of work. Nanotechnology has the potential to build a post-scarcity material economy – with the same implications we are so awkwardly working through in the post-scarcity information economy.
Drexler didn't shy away from confronting the negative possibilities of uncontrolled nanotech development in his book, and he and other scientists, such as those at the Centre for Responsible Nanotechnology, attempt to raise public awareness of the coming developments, which will inevitably grow out of research into molecular biology and computing (specifically, artificial intelligence and computer-aided design).
There are many terrifying possibilities for nanotechnology; military nanomachines could infiltrate human bodies and systematically tear them apart using the same principles medical nanomachines will use to repair them. An uncontrolled nanomachine designed to replicate itself could lead to the "grey goo" scenario that once panicked Prince Charles. Monopolistic practices on the part of the corporation or government that first produces a workable nanotechnology could hoard its benefits for one segment of the population, denying the rest of the world the massively increased prosperity it offers.
The solutions will have to complement one another if this, the biggest technological leap forward since the Industrial Revolution, is to benefit everyone. The most important is collaboration and diplomacy; the democracies that lead the world in scientific research need to collaborate in development and come to agreements that will share benefits and severely restrict weaponisation. Nanotech treaties will have far greater import for the survival of mankind, and of Earth as an ecosystem, than any nuclear treaty. Even "rogue" states need to be included in these efforts, simply because the new technology will be so desirable that if they are not included, they will push forward with their own, more dangerous and less controlled research.
The other aspect of preparation is education. The electorate need to be adequately informed to understand the debate that will take place and to put pressure on their leaders to choose the right paths. This means that formal science education in schools needs continued support from the ministers setting curriculums, and higher education and research needs support and funding so that we continue to have scientists and engineers capable of contributing to research and to public debate.
We need a forum for discussing the implications and direction of technological change in a way that is open and comprehensible to the public, and whose conclusions and advice ministers take seriously and do not dismiss on ideological grounds. Drexler proposes that such a forum needs the credibility of due process present in a court of law, and the scientific reliability that stems from peer review. Most of all, we need politicians with the courage to resist the temptation to short-termism that comes with limited terms in office, who realise that the debates arising in the coming years will see them legislating the shape of the future.

– japoński port morski w mieście Jokohama nad Zatoką Tokijską.

Obiekty portowe
Port w Jokohamie ma wiele pirsów w tym m.in.:
 Honmoku – najważniejszy obiekt w porcie z 24 nabrzeżami, oddany do użytku w 1970 roku. Jest rdzeniem portu, który może przyjmować różne typy statków;
 Ōsanbashi – obsługuje ruch pasażerski (w tym statki wycieczkowe), posiada stanowiska obsługi celnej i pomieszczenia kwarantannowe. Jest najstarszym w Porcie Jokohama, zbudowanym w latach 1889–1896, przebudowanym w latach 1988–2002. Terminal może pomieścić jednocześnie cztery statki pasażerskie klasy 30 000 ton lub dwa statki klasy 70 000 ton. Dach służy jako otwarty przez całą dobę plac, z którego można podziwiać widok wokół i zawijające statki ;
 Detamachi – "bananowy pirs", ukończony w 1963 roku, główne miejsce rozładunku świeżych owoców i warzyw;
 Daikoku – pierwsze sztuczne molo wyspowe o powierzchni 321 hektarów, zbudowane w latach 1971–1990 ze względu na zwiększenie ilości ładunków oceanicznych i rozwój konteneryzacji, mieści magazyny o łącznej powierzchni 1 mln m2, w tym około 60 prywatnych magazynów, co tworzy kompleksowe centrum logistyczne. Posiada 25 miejsc do cumowania (o łącznej długości 5 250 m);
 Mizuho – budowę rozpoczęto w 1925, a zakończono w 1945 roku. Od II wojny światowej jest użytkowane przez siły amerykańskie stacjonujące w Japonii. W 2003 roku rozpoczęto eksploatację nowego publicznego nabrzeża, które służy do przeładunku materiałów budowlanych. Duża turbina wiatrowa, którą można zobaczyć z dowolnego miejsca portu, znajduje się na tym molo.

Historia
W 1858 roku pierwszy konsul amerykański Townsend Harris doprowadził do zawarcia nierównoprawnego traktatu handlowego, dzięki któremu Amerykanie uzyskali dostęp m.in. do portów i miast: Jokohamy, Nagasaki, Niigaty, Hyōgo, Edo, Osaki. Dokument nazywał się: "Japońsko-amerykański traktat o przyjaźni i handlu" (ang. Treaty of Amity and Commerce Between the United States and the Empire of Japan; jap. Nichibei Shūkō Tsūshō Jōyaku).

Port w Jokohamie został otwarty w 1859 roku.

W 1923 roku port i miasto zostały zniszczone przez wielkie trzęsienie ziemi.

Statystyki
W 2006 roku port w Jokohamie obsłużył 42 622 statków. Przeładowano 138 220 075 ton towarów.

In all this chaos on our planet, some humans have completely lost it. Generosity and selflessness have taken a backseat in the heat of economic turmoil and the deterioration of human connections. But not everything is lost yet. We still have some very pure-hearted individuals. You must want to see this!
We've these two radio show hosts, Jackie O and Kyle, and then we've two struggling moms, Ashleigh and Kate. When Ashleigh's dad died, she had to buy a costly plane ticket to New Zealand, and that burdened her family even more since her hubby had incurred some injuries at work and wasn't working anymore. Life was getting really hard.
Kate works 2 jobs and has no money. Her electricity is getting turned off and the much she has is just $8. But when the radio hosts stopped her on the street and told her to choose between giving out $5,000 to Ashleigh and keeping it for herself, she decided to give it out even without having a clue about Ashleigh's story. You won't believe what happened next!
This is so inspiring. You need to watch this clip and love this lady – and what the hosts did to her. Please SHARE this, it's great!


Time Sampling: Refers to a variety of methods to record behavior at specific moments. One divides the observation period into intervals and then record either the presence or absence of a behavior within or at the end of the interval.
Partial Interval Recording: Record whether the behavior happened at any time during the interval. Tends to underestimate high-frequency behavior and overestimate duration.
Whole Interval Recording: At the end of each interval, it is recorded if the behavior happened during the whole interval. The longer the interval, the more whole interval will underestimate the occurrence of the behavior.
Momentary Time Sampling: Recorder notes whether the behavior happens at the moment each interval ends. Not recommended for low frequency, short duration behaviors.
PLACHECK (planned activity check) is momentary time sampling for group engagement.
3 Types of Discontinuous measurement (aka, time sampling) Momentary time sampling and partial and whole-interval recording are discontinuous methods. These methods all either over or underestimate the rate of the target behavior because of the way that it is measured. This is called an artifact.
Time sampling are suited for behaviors that do not have a discrete start and end (for example, crying).
A measurement artifact are data that appear to exist, but only because of the way that they were measured. Discontinuous measurement procedures, especially poorly chosen aspects of it, may result in artifact.
Interresponse Time (IRT) measurement of the time between responses.

Anche la sorella più piccola, Shamita Shetty è un'attrice. Nonostante il cognome, non sono imparentate con il famoso attore Sunil Shetty.

Biografia
Dopo il suo debutto nel film Baazigar, nel 1993, ha recitato in quasi cinquanta film, in diverse lingue: hindi, tamil, telugu e kannada. Il suo primo ruolo da protagonista è stato nel film Aag del 1994. Da allora la sua carriera a Bollywood è stata altalenante, ma sempre sotto i riflettori. Ha vinto il Celebrity Big Brother in Regno Unito nel 2007, dopo il clamore delle affermazioni razziste di Jade Goody nei suoi confronti
. Nel 2008 ha invece condotto Bigg Boss, la versione indiana del Grande Fratello, dove era presente, come concorrente, anche Jade Goody, lì in segno di scuse nei suoi confronti.

Il 15 aprile 2007, Shetty è stata baciata più volte con foga sulla guancia da Richard Gere, durante un evento teso alla campagna di sensibilizzazione dell'AIDS. Il bacio è stato considerato un attacco ai valori morali e culturali dell'India. Il 26 aprile dello stesso anno, un tribunale indiano del Rajasthan ha emesso un mandato di arresto per Gere, che venne poi revocato nel maggio seguente. e poi, nel marzo 2008, assolto dalla Corte Suprema Indiana, ritenendo l'accusa "frivola e infondata".

Vive a Mumbai con i suoi genitori e la sorella più piccola.

Tears in the Rajya Sabha: PM Modi, Azad get emotional in farewell speeches
Prime Minister Narendra Modi became emotional in the Rajya Sabha on Tuesday during a farewell to Leader of the Opposition and Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad
Prime Minister Narendra Modi became emotional in the Rajya Sabha on Tuesday during a farewell to Leader of the Opposition and Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad, who is retiring on February 15 after his term ends.
Modi heaped praise on the Congress veteran, who sat across him in the Rajya Sabha, and shed a tear as he shared an episode when they had both been Chief Ministers of Gujarat and Jammu and Kashmir, respectively.
Modi said he has known Ghulam Nabi Azad for years when they both were Chief Ministers together. "We had interacted even before I became Chief Minister, when Azad was very much in active politics," he said. The PM also shared Azad's passion for gardening with the House. He further added in a teary farewell said that he would not let the Congress veteran retire and will continue taking his advice and that his doors were always open for him.

Modi said the person who will replace Azad, as Leader of the Opposition, will find it difficult to match the Kashmiri leader's stature because he was not only concerned about his party but also about the country and the House.
While referring to the terror attack on pilgrims from Gujarat in Jammu and KAshmir, Modi said he will never forget Azad's efforts and Pranab Mukherjee's efforts when people from Gujarat were stuck in Kashmir due to a terror attack. Ghulam Nabi ji was constantly following up and was as concerned as if those stuck were his own family members, the PM said.

Azad thanked MPs as he recounted his political journey from Jammu and Kashmir to New Delhi. As he rose to speak on his last day in Rajya Sabha, Azad said the majority community needs to move forward, and added that he never went to Pakistan and thinks that he was fortunate. He said that he felt proud to be a Hindustani Muslim after seeing the plight of those who went to Pakistan. In his farewell speech, Azad paid tributes to former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and said that he learnt to function in the House from the late PM.

Oh what do we have here? A new Ocean's movie, but with an all-female cast? I can already here all the angry, insecure "macho" men typing away already lol. I love the series as much as the next person but the last two were far from great films, so I say why not? Mortal Engines gets the nod for being one of the most original movie concepts I've seen in a while, and Peter Jackson is at the helm, so it'll be stunning to look at at the least. Disney does what Disney does, and has taken another classic tale (The Nutcracker) and Disney-fied it. Looks like an amalgamation of some of their past live-action stuff, so could good – if they took the best parts.
Chappaquiddick finally gets it's debut trailer and it looks every bit as good as we, Stephen Silver, said it does. Who would've thought we would be getting a sequel to the highly loved and intense action thriller that was Sicario. I'm happy for it, but I hope it doesn't lose itself in its clearly more action-oriented front. That's not what made the first one so special, it was the sheer suspense and atmosphere it oozed, like rarely ever before.

Let's not call it flaky, let's call it whimsical. Capricious, even.
I didn't used to be this way. I used to rely on a firm schedule and found comfort in social activity that was planned days--if not weeks--in advance. Now, not so much.
I say "let's play it by ear" a lot. I won't buy concert tickets more than a few weeks ahead of time. I have no idea how I'll use up the rest of my personal and vacation days this year. I get nervous when somebody asks to do something more than a couple of days from now. I panic if I feel like my time is being imposed on.
What changed? Did I suddenly realize what precious little free time I had? It's not as if it suddenly dawned on me. How did I go from being so rigid socially to enjoying spontaneous plans so much? How did I go from being thoroughly dependable to a more unknown quantity?
J had a lot to do with it. Between the two of us, we had a healthy social calendar. There were birthdays and weddings and holidays and funerals. There was his giant family and my clan of friends. There were our mutual friends. There was always something to do, something we were invited to.
For a while, I loved having days filled with so much to do, with a person who adored me so much. Then I started realizing that we never had a full weekend to ourselves, to do nothing. Even in the early stages of our relationship, we never had that long stretch of time where we sequestered ourselves in bed and tuned out the rest of the world (mental note to make sure that happens in my next relationship). And when we did have a so-called lazy day, even those had a rigidity to them; there were workouts and errands and little things that always seemed to take longer than expected.
Eventually, the time time we spent together started to feel structured, even when it centered around fun activities. I became frustrated that so many social obligations were stacking up weeks and months into the future. I felt like I had less time to myself, too. Despite asserting to J that I was not a phone person, there were frequent phone calls (he checked in with me up to five times a day). What started out as a feeling of having this loving person so dedicated to me grew into a feeling of being smothered and controlled. Some of our biggest fights were about my need for more personal space. I could see how the relationship could become codependent. I had a life outside the relationship that was beginning to feel hampered.
Since the breakup, one of the things I cherish most is having my schedule back to myself. Invited to a party? No need to check with J to see if there is a conflict on his end. Want to stay in all weekend and be a couch potato? I have the final say. Want to spend days in a row being a social hermit and ignoring all calls/emails/texts? So be it. My free time is all my own.
The problem is this nervousness I've developed about making firm plans too far ahead of time. I was the furthest thing from spontaneous for most of my life and now I've swung to the opposite extreme. Last weekend, I had no plans for Saturday and set plans for Sunday. I ended up going to a last minute gathering on Saturday and bailing on Sunday plans.
Have I become less dependable? Maybe a little, except with my mother and closest friends. With everyone else, it's a crap shoot. I'm probably a frustrating person to date right now and yet potential suitors are on the horizon. My independence and new-found unpredictability is probably attractive to many, yet I've been on the other side of the fence, dealing with people like today's me, and I know how maddening it can be.
There's nothing I can do about it right now. I'm enjoying the last minute, the unexpected, following my whims, carving out my own trajectory. It leads to adventure. I am all about adventure these days.
Very cool - but you should know you're the exception rather than the rule in my experience. Most women easily get wrapped up in a relationship and lose their own identity.
Family get togethers: I can understand what you went through, which is why I prefer to date women who do not have family in the same city as them. Some people like the simple life!
As for spending the whole day in bed: marvellous. I was 34 when I first experienced that and it is so lovely I'll never get serious with any woman who does not want them. Of course not wanting children has a lot to do with that.
Yeah, my female friends tell me that I have more of a guy perspective on relationships these days.
Good idea about dating someone with family outside the state. Though that can also mean using vacation time to see them.
As for the day in bed thing, I've experienced it before, just not in a really really long time. I'm overdue.
Pretty cool stuff you have going here. There's a wealth of stories to go through, and I've only skimmed the surface, and I'm already enthralled.
And I realise, can you really have a successful relationship, while maintaining your individuality? Things are pointing to no.
I think in order to have a rich identity it's necessary to continue evolving as a person. One reason individuality might get stifled in a relationship is because there's often a tendency to fall into routines and stop growing (separately and as a couple). I can't help but be optimistic that there is a way to have both, it's just a matter of choosing someone on a similar trajectory, though that isn't easy. How can you insure that you will grow together and not apart? It's something I haven't had good luck with up to this point, though I still have faith it's possible.
Interesting hearing about this coming from the other direction, Dolly. Although weekends in bed are really not something I'd ever be willing to give up, I don't think.
There are advantages to spontaneous and total control over my own time that I've enjoyed. Though, I have to say that none of them make up for stable, happy relationship, in the bigger picture, for me, at least. But it's nice to get a sense of yourself with all that, in the meantime.
I suppose the answer, at some level, is to be happy no matter where you're at. The opposite gets wearisome, is the truth. Whatever the endeavor.

The Abbott Farm Historic District is a National Historic Landmark archaeological site in New Jersey. It is the largest known Middle Woodland village of its type on the East Coast of the United States. Significant evidence suggests that the Delaware River floodplain was occupied by Paleoindian people for a long period. It was inhabited between 500 BC and 500 AD. It has been a source of controversy and debate around early development.

The district encompasses some  of marshlands and bluffs in southern Mercer County and northern Burlington County, in the communities of Hamilton Township, Bordentown, and Bordentown Township. The John A. Roebling Memorial Park, part of the Abbott Marshlands, provides access to both historic sites and nature habitats in the area. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places as the Abbott Farm Archeological Site on December 8, 1976 for its significance in prehistory and science.

The importance of this site was established in the late 19th century by Charles Conrad Abbott, an archaeologist whose farm was located on one of the bluffs overlooking the marshlands.  Abbott's finds on his farm, published in 1876, sparked a debate about when humans first arrived in the area, and consequently had significant influence on the direction of later archaeological work.  Many finds from the site are at Harvard University's Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, for which Abbott served as assistant curator for many years.

Historic sites
In addition to its archaeological importance, the area includes historically important buildings and transportation-related structures, such as:

 Bow Hill – Hamilton Township
 Isaac Watson House – Hamilton Township
 Point Breeze – Bordentown

Beauford and Joseph Delaney: Lives in Art
In September and October of 1970, Joseph and Beauford Delaney were going to have a joint exhibition of their work at the McClung Gallery. Due to Beauford's poor health at the time, he was unable to send paintings from his studio in Paris. The exhibition ended up being a solo show of Joseph's work. 50 years later, the UT Downtown Gallery is pleased to present their work together.
Images of Human Rights Portfolio
The South African Bill of Rights was born out of a long struggle against racial segregation and human rights violations. Until the first democratic election in 1994, the majority of South Africans had been excluded from participating in the political process. Talks in the early 1990s between political prisoner Nelson Mandela and then South African leader F.W. DeKlerk ultimately led to free elections and a new government which aimed to respect the rights of all its citizens.
Images of Human Rights features 29 fine art prints, created by artists representing the nine provinces of South Africa and hand printed by master printmaker Jan Jordaan. The print portfolio was conceived of and released in 1996 by the Images of Human Rights Portfolio Committee, in commemoration of the newly post-Apartheid nation's Bill of Rights. Funds generated from the sale of portfolios are deposited in the Artists for Human Rights Trust account and are used by Amnesty International and other organizations for human rights education programs for the young people of South Africa. This set of prints is being circulated in North America as one of a series of activities between Michigan State University and a consortium of agencies in South Africa, including the African National Congress; Centre for Cultural Studies, University of Fort Hare; and Mayibuye Centre, University of the Western Cape.
Collecting Histories - selections from the collection of Floyd Jones and Mary Sabol
Collecting Histories spotlights the collection of UT alumni Floyd Jones (Transportation/Logistics '72) and Mary Sabol (Sociology '72). The couple met as undergrads and have been collecting artwork since their days in Knoxville. The exhibition showcases the couple's diverse collecting interests—dolls, Black Americana, Black portraiture, and images of children.
The couple have lived in Chicago since the mid-1970s, and first began collecting dolls—an interest Mary acquired from her mother. Her first doll purchase, as an adult, was in Gatlinburg, TN. Their doll collection sparked interest in collecting art and other historical objects. Floyd became an independent doll appraiser and was on PBS's Antiques Roadshow for several seasons.
Through the Lens of Ed Westcott
June 2 - August 6, 2016
In 1942, the Army Corps of Engineers relocated James Edward Westcott to Oak Ridge, Tennessee, and assigned him the task of official photographer for the Manhattan Project - a massive wartime effort to produce the first atomic bomb. As secrecy of the project was paramount, the "atomic" city was fenced, and communication with the outside world was limited. What is more, no cameras were allowed inside its boundaries.
Thus, Westcott became not only the official photographer for the Manhattan Project, but he also became the sole photographer of the social and recreational events of Oak Ridge. It is only through Westcott's photographs that the visual history of Oak Ridge can be appreciated.

"Now here's why I'm punching you..."
byphilhA Reasonable Approximation9mo16th Oct 201824 comments
Related: be nice, at least until you can coordinate meanness.
A premise of this post is that punching people is sometimes better than the alternatives.
I mean that literally, but mostly metaphorically. Things I take as metaphorical punching include name calling, writing angry tweets to or about someone, ejecting them from a group, callout posts, and arguing that we should punch them.
Given that punching people is sometimes better than the alternatives, I think we need to be able to have conversations about when "sometimes" is. And indeed we can and do have those conversations. Many words have been spilled on the subject.
But I think it's probably a good idea to try to avoid having those conversations while actually punching people.
Here's what I mean. Alice thinks that punching Bob is better than the alternatives. But she thinks that if she just starts punching, Carol and Dave and Eve might not understand why. Not even if she tells them what Bob has done. She thinks punching Bob is better than the alternatives, but she thinks the reasons for that are slightly complicated and haven't previously been articulated very well, at least not in a way that makes them common knowledge.
So she writes an essay in which:
She proposes a theory for when punching people is better than the alternatives. (She readily admits that the theory is not complete, nor is it intended to be, but it covers part of the space.)
She describes the situation with Bob, and how the theory justifies punching him.
She punches Bob.
I think this could be a mistake. I think she should maybe split that post into at least two parts, published separately. In the first part, she proposes the theory with no mention of Bob. Then, if Carol and Dave and Eve seem to more-or-less agree with the theory, she can also publish the part where it relates to Bob, and punch him.
I think this has a few advantages.
Suppose Alice can't convince anyone that the theory holds. Then Bob is kept out of things entirely, unless Alice wants to go ahead and punch him even knowing that people won't join in. In that case, people know in advance that Alice is punching under a theory that isn't commonly subscribed to.
Suppose the theory is sound, and also justifies punching Fred. Then someone can link to the theory post separately, without implicitly bringing up the whole Bob thing. This is especially good if the theory doesn't actually justify punching Bob, but it's somewhat good regardless.
Suppose Bob disagrees with some part of the argument. When he gets punched, he's likely to be triggered or at least defensive. That's going to make it harder for him to articulate his disagreement. If it comes split up, the "thing he has to react to while triggered" may be smaller. (It may not be, if he has to react to the whole thing; but even then, he may have seen the first article, and had a chance to respond to it, before getting punched.)
Suppose that splitting-things-up like this becomes a community norm. Now, if Alice just wants to come up with excuses to punch Bob, it's harder for her to do that and get away with it, harder for her to make it look like an honest mistake.
It might seem even better to split into three posts: theory, then application ("and here's why that justifies punching Bob"), and then wait for another post to actually punch him. But since "arguing that we should punch Bob" is a form of punching Bob, splitting those two out isn't necessarily possible. At best it would be "theory, then application and mild punching, then full-strength punching". It's more likely to be worth it if there's a big difference between the two levels. "Here is why I think I should kick Bob out of the group" is considerably weaker than "I hereby kick Bob out of the group". But "here is why I think you all should stop trusting Bob now" is not much weaker than "you all should stop trusting Bob now".
However, I don't think this is always unambiguously a good thing. There are some disadvantages too:
The initial post is likely to be drier, less compelling, without concrete examples.1 And perhaps harder to evaluate, especially for less abstract thinkers.
You can't really remove the initial post from its context of "Alice thinks we should punch Bob". You can hide that context, but that doesn't remove its influence. For example, if there are cases similar to Bob's that would be covered by the same theory, Alice's post is likely to gloss over the parts of the theory that relate to them-but-not-Bob, and to focus too much on the parts that relate to Bob-but-not-them.
Suppose the theory is sound, but the facts of the case don't support punching Bob. Splitting the posts adds more opportunity for sleight-of-hand, such as using a term to mean different things in different places. This would be harder to notice in a split post than a monolithic post, if each part is internally consistent.
It may be harder to write this way, which may cause some better-than-the-alternatives punching to go unperformed.
It's slower. Sometimes that's probably neutral-to-good. But often, if punching someone is better than the alternatives, it's because they're currently hurting other people. If punching them will make them stop, then ideally we want to punch quickly.
I'm not sure how all these factors really shake out, and I expect it'll vary from case to case. So I don't want to offer a blanket suggestion. I think my advice is: if you're thinking of writing one of those all-in-one posts, consider splitting it up. It won't always be the right thing to do, but I think it's an option to bear in mind. Here are some questions to ask that might sway you in one direction or the other:
How hard are you punching?2 If someone googles Bob, will they find your punches? (At least once, Scott Alexander used a pseudonym for a person he was punching; this seems like a useful tool.)
If the punching is delayed, does anything bad happen?
Does the theory apply more generally than it needs to for this specific case? Thinking of similar cases might help, especially real ones but also fictional. (If you can think of lots of real cases, the value of having a reference post for the theory goes up, and its value as a reference post goes up if it has less baggage.)
(As an aside: I want to note that a post which looks like an all-in-one might not be. It may be recapping previously established theory. Common knowledge is rarely absolutely common, so I suspect this will usually be a good idea.)
See for example, this post. (Though the reason I don't have examples here is different. My motivating example hasn't been written yet3, and I didn't go looking for others. Still, I expect the effects of not having examples are similar.) ↩
And not just you personally, but your audience. If your audience is large and vicious, then no matter how gently you yourself punch someone, they're going to experience a lot of pummelling. ↩
And there's a decent chance it won't ever, given my track record. ↩

O' What a Feeling for O'Meara at 1998 Masters
Mark O'Meara had been a very good player for a long time on the PGA Tour, but entering the 1998 Masters had not won a major championship. During 1998, O'Meara won two majors - this one, plus the British Open later in the year.
Why was 1998 such a good year for O'Meara? Many believed - and O'Meara himself said as much - that O'Meara's friendship with the young star Tiger Woods played a role. O'Meara and Woods played together often, and competed against each other in practice rounds. O'Meara said that watching Woods' killer instinct and Woods' work ethic made him work that much harder himself.
Whatever the reason, O'Meara won The Masters in 1998 by closing with rounds of 68 and 67, and by birdying the final hole to secure the victory. In fact, O'Meara birdied three of the final four holes on Sunday, capping his surge with a 20-footer on the 72nd hole for the one-stroke victory over David Duval and Fred Couples.
O'Meara opened with a 74, five off the first-round lead. He jumped into the Top 10 with a second-round 70. And O'Meara's scores continued downward with a third-round 68. He stood tied for second heading into the final round, two strokes behind Couples.
The 1998 Masters is also notable as the last time Jack Nicklaus was part of the story in the final round. Nicklaus, 56 years old, tied for sixth, four strokes off the lead, with a final-round 68. Gary Player, age 62, made the cut in a Masters for the last time this year.
David Toms made his first-ever Masters appearance here, and it included a 64 in the final round. Toms finished tied with Nicklaus in sixth place.
As defending champion, Woods slipped the Green Jacket onto O'Meara. Woods finished tied for eighth, six strokes behind O'Meara.
