The black person shoots them and may or many not go to jail or in turn be shot by police. Doesn't matter. Plenty more where that came from. It's like the bugs in starship troopers, they're not soldiers, they're ordinance.

I don't think anyone here needs to have this pointed out, but the producers behind this are two fellow whites named Neil Meron and Robert Greenblatt.

Well yes, I admit it, but is there actually anything racist in this? The primary joke seems to be modern concerns inserted into a historical setting.

This video is at least 7 years old: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtJ14KUB3Ew

Also, you can make an anti-semetic meme just by tracing a picture of jonathan greenblatt and attaching a quote from him.

I have consulted the local documentaries and determined that screaming "yamete" never stops someone from pounding you.

Maybe relax with some VR games, you'll be able to get cheap headsets after the war.

The new york city budget is over $100B per year, they could have their own space program if they really wanted one. If they need state funds for transit, it's fraud.

Sounds plausible. There's a particular lefty brand of malicious compliance where they pretend some new law forces them to do something evil when it doesn't even apply to them at all. Like a while ago there was an activist sheriff who was pretending he couldn't arrest a murderer because of stand your ground laws or some shit.

I would agree if degenerates were kept out, but they are not. So I think it's time to try something else.

Culturally ingrained behaviors start with enforcement. Littering was much more common in America until there was a long advertising and enforcement campaign against it (some of this was cynically funded by companies that wanted to keep producing cheap disposable products and not be blamed for the waste, but regardless, behavior still changed). I honestly think even India could be fixed with better leadership. I've seen cats that have been trained to use toilets.

As far as going back to fees, cities have successfully rolled out congestion fees, so charging for driving which was once free. So I don't see why fees couldn't be rolled back in if it became overcrowded. But really, which would be a better use of funds - adding a bunch of fee taking systems to reduce congestion, or adding more trains to the lines?

They should just remove the gates and make all subway rides taxpayer funded.

  • It's just a feature of the city that is required at a certain population density. Like a storm drain system. You don't try to put a pay gate on every puddle, you fund it more generally.

  • The savings in overhead would be huge. Each one of those turnstyles probably costs 100k. Then the ongoing cost of payment processing, upkeep, etc.

  • Increased mobility would provide more liquidity in the market. People are traveling to buy things or to work, why price that? You'll get the same or more from their increased labor or purchases.

  • Decreased friction for tourists who are constantly struggling to learn the system.

  • The space would be nicer and less prison like. Easier to clean the floor with less corners for grime to collect.

  • The subway system already runs a constant deficit so stop pretending it's a business.

  • Enforcement efforts could be moved to behavior on the trains, which matters a lot more to the public than someone skipping out on a $2 fare.

Yeah also how it immediately births two acronyms, it's gotta be legit.

Here's the thing, they attack at the platform layer because it's the easiest and quickest. If you make your own platform they go after your hosting provider. If you co-locate they go after the datacenter. If you have your own datacenter they go after your peering agreements and domain registrars. The payment processors. Your bank account. All of these things have been attacked. Having armchair know-it-alls pop out of the well and suggest building your own self-sustaining internet moon base to deliver products to earth via rail gun is not helpful.

After reading a few posts I've come to the conclusion that @SandyFrizzle might actually be mentally retarded. She does not understand the concept of talking talking about a fantasy that someone else might typically have - it's maxed out her abstract thinking skills.

You posted a claim that was, at best, unsupported by the image, and at worst, completely false. The point of a site like this is news aggregation, you should not be allowed to openly lie.

This is documented going back to at least 1600 and probably well into prehistoric times.

Activists want to take over video games because they think interactive media is the ultimate brain washing tool. They believe every human is tabula rasa and if you can control what they do for long enough, you can reprogram them to right all the wrongs in the world. As a bonus, they think all video game players are weak submissive nerds who are easily cowed into changing their behavior. So the whole thing ends up being the ultimate test case for social constructionist ideology.

They pathologically fantasize about this kind of manipulation, all day, it's what they live for. So when they finally try it and it doesn't work, they get pissed because you're ruining their life long fantasy. If you also point out some of the inner workings of their manipulation tactics, they get double pissed because that means they can't try again.

It all stems from an incomplete theory of mind, lefties don't understand how other people think. They have this cardboard cutout idea of gamers as just bully-able nerds, so when they encounter hyper fact focused autists they're completely taken by surprise.

I encountered this phenomenon in real life when I was in college (~2001). I took philosophy and it had a small breakout group that was taught by a grad student. He kept trying to prove moral relativism by giving us one sided reading assignments. But often I had some knowledge of whatever fucked up thing the subject was because I liked to spend my time reading this new fangled thing called wikipedia. Also, more importantly, the main way I had success in school was by meta gaming the intent of test questions. So I could tell just by the way he was presenting information that he was up to something and I often called him out on it. This eventually caused him to lose his fucking mind and prepare speech that he gave to the entire class in the passive voice. He went on about how "the class does X" or "this happens" when the only people who ever said anything in class were me and one other guy. He gave his speech, stormed out and we never saw him again, the class got rolled into another group.

>Any surprises here?

Yes, I am surprised this data was allowed to be published.
