This is a few days old, but I didn't see it being posted here. Basically, NY is showing the expected results of those saying to call its bluff w.r.t the vax mandate despite the strong facade from governor Cunt Kathy Hochul. Lot of hoopla for a mere '3%' of (supposed) loss of workforce that the mandate claimed; real numbers TBD.

None for mainstream news, but I do like the comments on ZeroHedge depending on topic. I've gleaned very useful facts from there especially w.r.t the Wuhan Flu.

Or their shitty coding standards, like hardcoding server credentials (and uploading them to their git

How is this even possible? Any large IT company has static analyzers, automated security vulnerability assessments, code submission/deployment reviewal processes, and all types of business minutia. I honestly don't know how any developer or team could fuck up this badly.

As for the code leak, that is incredibly impressive of Amazon, but unless there is a lot of scintillating unique IP baked into it - maybe things like video quality adjustments assuming they aren't the usual legal scams - then I don't think it will matter much in the long run.

The factors that made Twitch successful have always been challengeable. Google's a great example of this given their early acquisition of YouTube. Different priorities, or competencies when it comes to execution, have led to the status quo; either can be overturned, but it doesn't require the data breach.

We know how useless the vaccines are, I wonder if there has been any study of how large - or, as we expect, little - the reinfection rate is for those who never took the vaccine.

For example, is there any reason to believe the Wuhan Flu's natural immunity won't mirror the 18 years (and ongoing) of those who were infected with SARS?

Well, he was pretty funny when the gimmick was new and everyone was blind to the progressive agenda (for comparison, fast forward to later years when he was shilling for his sister's congressional run on said show).

However much CC paid their writers, it probably wasn't enough. Jon Stewart & co. were very effective propagandists, this shit show of a 'comedy' sketch doesn't even enter the same stratosphere.

Scarlet Nexus and Tales of Arise do seem unimpressive from promo materials alone.

I'm fine with skepticism, but IMO there is reason to be wary about Bamco. This may have legs.

Psychedelics shouldn't be illegal in the 1st place. Bring on the aliens.

I was genuinely disappointed by the lack of outrage at this decision.

I wasn't even aware that they hadn't done this already. Didn't they ban videos like the famous DarkHorse podcast episode before? They're just making their enforcement official policy and with harder penalties.

That assumes there is a good leader in the first place.

Fuck this guy:

Kono advocates for more immigration, having criticized the government's resistance to opening the door to immigrants in order to mitigate Japan's labor shortage as a result of its aging and shrinking population.[3][37]

This one seems pretty dodgy too:

Kishida reiterated his pledge to craft an economic package worth "tens of trillions of yen," or hundreds of billion dollars, to support the pandemic-hit economy by the end of the year.

...but I guess better than Kono. (As if I know what the hell I'm talking about and didn't just spend about 5 minutes "researching".)

Reminds me of this thread, any relation? - https://kotakuinaction2.win/p/12hRLgSaDW/list-of-movies-recommended-in-th/

I recommended Pan's Labyrinth there, it's listed as 5.25 wokeness. TBQH it's been way too long to remember many details (over a decade), but I don't think the nature of the plot lent much possibility to such.

Maybe I'll re-watch it one day and compare notes as a litmus test; I was young and stupid back then too, so I would have missed a lot of what's obvious now.

I don't know if this is my original source since it has been several years, but this is where 1 of the original participants admits it involved acting/embellishment - https://archive.vn/TlV5c

Other citations or references beside the NY Post exist if you just search for the experiment along with the word fake. There has been dispute about its authenticity even before this, considering the linked article is relatively modern (2018).

See how much you want to lend credence to it; for me, it does overly smell of pseudo-intellectual academic bullshit so I'll side with the "fake".

if the Stanford Prison Experiment is any indicator

I think they eventually admitted and pointed out that study was all bullshit.

Not relevant to the original point, there's already camps for the unvaxxed in numerous countries. Washington state next? Entirely believable. If true I imagine it'll start off as something for travelers and, well, we'll learn how it's used long-term.

Eh, let's call their bluff and see how it works long-term.

I looked online and the mods for HZD suck. This is the best apparently - https://www.nexusmods.com/horizonzerodawn/mods/32?tab=images

Don't see the point in anyone ever installing this; maybe if 2B or other model replacement mod came out, one could tolerate the woke crap.

Yandex is great in terms of search quality and would be my primary search engine if it wasn't for the constant captchas.

That may or may not be due to VPN usage, but I'm not turning it off. I'll try a combination of StartPage and Yandex until I find something better to replace the former.

That media guy had a follow-up tweet:

He has already been tackled and had urine thrown at him earlier. Not bad for a ‘peaceful’ protest that doesn’t seem to have a plan, a leader or a solidified message.

Pretty sure the message has been communicated loud and clear, mate but you keep up your agenda pushing.

Congrats on cornering decent, hard working blue-collar people so hard that they had to resort to peace; and this is still NOTHING compared to the BLM 'mostly peaceful' protests of last year that mainstream media was slobbering about.

It was valuable because 1 of the video mirrors what I saw on NNN in being full length and a compelling watch. I strongly encourage you to re-post with an edited title if you feel more comfortable, or link it in the other thread.

And I can safely say I'm a coward and have 0% confidence I would ever act like this -- I'm pretty sure that's the majority of us across WIN despite online bravado, this act of great courage deserves praise.

Did you delete the post, or did Dom moderate it? I don't see a message from Dom.

The other is other airlines have signaled they aren't going to require vaccinations.

Have they? (For passengers, employees - at the very least new, prospective ones - are obviously fucked for any of them unfortunately.)

I don't have any particularly favorite when it comes to airlines, but I'll avoid United forever moving forward if feasible.

The bad faith comment wasn't directed at you. Your advice is unnecessary but I'm not trying to be impolite, it was theoretical / in reference to SJWs, i.e. no one in this post.

I'm in favor of gatekeeping. My original comment was about why the agenda is bullshit, not some argument I'd bother to have with bad faith person on this topic. I find this thread pointless, so I'll end with that.
