Why does the dark pole surprise us? Is there something scientifically unusual about it, or were we expecting it to match something else in the solar system?

I wonder if casting it in the following way would help:

"Comcast and other big players are forcing others to pay for their internet bills. They want other companies to pay for their infrastructure, when they are already collecting money to do so from their customers. We've already trusted these giant telecommunication companies to lower prices when they receive additional revenues or grants, and it never happens. Logically, if they start collecting a second revenue stream from competing media companies like Netflix and Amazon, they should be lowering prices. It won't happen."

I ran a bot for a long time on farmville years ago, why didn't they ever crack down on that stuff?

^{the shame of admitting I played farmville, let alone a bot to play farmville is somewhat debilitating}

Risky click. Hell, everything in this thread is a risky click.

the dropout rate at Flint schools is high and the schools test among the lowest in the state.

As a SE Michigander, that's quite an achievement. (for out of staters: overall Michigan schools are average to above average, but as is US tradition, urban schools are awful)
