quote [ Koroma, 32, a resident of the densely populated Wellington neighborhood, had been admitted to an isolation ward... "The family of the patient stormed the hospital and forcefully removed her and took her away," Tunis said. "We are searching for her." ... Cases have already been confirmed in Conakry and Monrovia, the capital cities of Guinea and Liberia. Experts say that limiting the spread of the virus in a chaotic mega-city poses added complications ]

* Protestors think ebola is cover for cannibalism! "Angry crowds gathered outside the country's main Ebola hospital in Kenema in the West African country's remote east where dozens are receiving treatment for the virus and threatened to burn it down and remove the patients... ...Assistant Inspector General Alfred Karrow-Kamara said on Saturday that the protest was sparked off by a former nurse who had told a crowd at a nearby fish market that "Ebola was unreal and a gimmick aimed at carrying out cannibalistic rituals".

Hazlitt has an interesting article on why ebola has captured the Western imagination so fiercely. It's interesting.

That's a bit like writing an article about why people find serial killers so fascinating.
tl;dr, They're both something that are rare, yet could kill you in a horrible fashion. |

+1 for Leigh Cowart. She generally does a good job of making science writing accessible to the layman while keeping the sensationalism to a minimum.

See also the 1980's classic, "Street Trash", although in that it was a case of 60-year-old booze making winos melt, shit out their intestines, and occasionally explode.

Just out of curiosity, I wonder how many people know you can now edit your posts. You go ADMIN and then POSTS. I don't know how long this option remains open. Anyone know? I did not see it "advertised" but figured it out from the post-post display.

What? We've always been able to edit posts, even on the old SE, for a period of something like 24 hours.

Yesterday, when I suggested you update your "Isis ‘ordering female genital mutilation’ in Iraq" misleading post to something less false, this editing is what I was referring to. Back in the day, madpride would edit their posts every few hours to saturate the wackiness.

Are you'all sure that the old SE would allow editing of posts? I remember it was asked for many times by many people and I never saw a response that said it was or that said how to do it.

sanepride said @ 6:18pm GMT on 26th Jul
Dude, seriously? Did you never notice the 'edit' link that appeared at the bottom of your posts? Or wonder how people were able to correct misspellings, broken links, change thumbs or add content after they had posted?

Just to clarify, everyone is talking about posts and not comments, right? I think there may be confusion.

Yeah, you've always, at least as far back as I can remember, had a certain window of time within which you could edit posts. (Someone mentioned 24 hours, but I think that might be longer than it used to be.) Don't you remember posts where someone would point out that the linked article was behind a paywall or unavailable in their country, so the poster would edit their post to include the article in the extended? Or "this is a repost, hurry up and fix it" comments?
What people were asking for was the ability to mod comments. |

Sorry, what's NSFW about this?

This is just a guess, but some employers have, in contrast to movies & TV, decided that blood & gore or the like isn't something one often needs to be looking at via one's workplace internet connection.

I didn't even see any gore. Just a probably dead person.

Some photos of ebola victims and scenes from the movie are quite gory. Search "ebola" in Google images.

Perhaps I'm being obtuse here, but I don't understand what that has to do with your links. Neither go to images from the movie, or anything gory or unsettling in anyway.
I get that this potentially could be a subject with some gross pictures, but you didn't link to any or anything that could be considered NSFW, so why the tag? |
