I used to read this site because I thought it was a tech site. When Trump won it was anti trump all the time. They got mad when people pointed out it was supposed to be a tech site. Also they went ballistic about net neutrality

It was pretty great back in the 90s and early 2000s when it was a mix of technical overviews and deep dives, game reviews, in-depth hardware and software reviews, and actually relevant news. It's a shame there really isn't a site like that anymore that's technical while still trying to be fun.

Completely agree. A lot of gaming sites went that way too

If Richard Madcow's completely wrong "Russia, Russia, Russia" rants can be dismissed as merely opinion and entertainment why can't Joe Rogan?

Who gives a fuck what convicted pedophile Peter Bright's old stomping ground has to say about anything?

Nothing to see here, just your typical moron overhearing big words they don't understand and trying to use them to appear intelligent.

What is the conflict of interest?

I thought it's pretty well established that the establishment screams 'misinformation' when confronted with inconvenient truths, and that its own lies are never called 'misinformation'.

The conflict of interest is that as a feminist woman, she has a desire to see men die.

She does? Based on what?

Why the fuck would we trust her to tell the truth? Anything by a female author about More Feminine Flu or the vax, when you read it, remember that top line.

I'm just amazed that you're limiting this to 'female authors' and about this subject. Presumably, all the rest of the media is just fine.

And before you say not all women are feminists - nobody without those opinions will get hired as a journalist.

You're so, so close. Nobody.

Based on that being what feminists want.

Well, you do have a knack for making stuff up and then saying that this is what others want.

Because that's the topic of conversation.

No, that's what you made the topic of conversation.

If only feminists can be hired as journalists, and all feminists have a "desire to see men die", then clearly you cannot claim that this has to bee a female journalist. Your arguments are not even internally consistent.

You sound almost like their apologist.

Yes, you always say that when you're called out for making stuff up. I don't see the need to make stuff up. You do.

I said feminists. This isn't even something you can dispute. They fucking said it. Multiple times.

And dolphins do as well, because "MAMMALS FUCKING SAID IT". See the problem?

No, the topic of the conversation was my comment.

No... you made it about 'female journalists' when as even you admitted, all your claims applied equally well to journalists as whole.

That's a ridiculous circular logic.

Didn't expect you to be able to follow it. But there is nothing circular about it. Read it again.
