I remember reading a "scholarly" article a few years ago referencing how depictions of violence against black women in video games was a problem. Checked out the original article being cited to make the claim and it was an article about GTA (San Andreas, I think?). They're all full of shit and will never be happy.
I just said it's easy to move to Asia, not that he should.
Spot on about Asia. If you've got a college degree and top it off with a ESL teaching cert you can get a job most places in Asia. Japan is tough. Otherwise, there's a lot of opportunities.
You using AVG or Avast? They've been fucking with the site a bunch the last week or two.
I can give Crowder credit. His investigating voter fraud, his lawsuits against social media companies, his Michigan rally, and the time that they infiltrated Antifa in Utah were worthwhile.
Sargon ran for office.
Otherwise, yeah, the rest of them basically just read news articles on youtube.
It's nice to have infotainment sometimes that isn't left, so there's that.
You should definitely get involved. I've been looking at options myself lately, but I'm not sure what really fits anymore.
*spez: Just remembered how awesome it was watching Carlso Maza lose his mind and eventually his undeserved career because Crowder made fun of him a few times. That's definitely one of the best things he's done.
Because as Norm Macdonald would argue, you only have to be as smart as a 3rd grader to teach a 2nd grader.
Just checked. You can search it and it shows up. You can like it, but the song is blacked out and won't play.
I was thinking about the movie Hotel Rwanda the other day. It's a good movie. There's probably no chance it'd get made in 2021.
Of course they turned the comments off on the BR song. I remember when the song came out. Every single comment for the video was along the lines of, "Damn, the alt-right sounds awesome!" or "What's wrong with any of these things?" or people calling them out for being out of touch sell-out tools.
Thanks for answering. I was genuinely curious to see what people thought. My thought process was that it might save someone from supporting the author by buying it new. No guarantee that would be the case though.
I get that. Part of the appeal of the first book is that it's a classic underdog story. In the book it's all in the digital world but the protagonists actions in the digital world have impacts on the real world. It's just a fun, cheesy read.
Focus on all things feminine, lgbtq, genderfluidity, and climate change. The actual story is visibly secondary to what he's trying to push. That's one of the reasons the story sucks so much. He's preaching instead of writing a good story.
Good choice torrenting.
I thought ED was already gone.
No light saber noises, sadly. The music was great though. It wasn't from any of the movies scores, also wasn't dancing music, but was really dramatic.
Lol. Lived in Thailand for a while. Used to go to a local Thai whiskey bar after work. I had been going there semi-frequently for a few months. Had a buddy from the States come visit. We went to the Thai whiskey bar and got a solid buzz. My Thai buddies joked that I should take him to the gay strip club across the street. Never knew that it even existed above the bar across the street.
Anyways, two hammered Farangs went and had a beer at the gay strip club in Thailand. You haven't lived until you've seen Thai Darth Vader trying to maintain an erection on stage. Funniest shit ever.
Did I accidentally fight feminism?
Balloon in the pooper. Only way.
Strangely enough, a course similar to this redpilled me a bit further. I was already a center right conservative but I was taking a master's course in 2015 that went into gamer gate.
Looking back, most of the gg section was bullshit (ie gamers are dead, your princess is in another castle, Anita at the UN), but there were a couple of studies that were surprisingly fairly unbiased. One of the articles mentioned Sargon of Akkad and Milo Yiannopoulos and how their claims about Anita Sarkesian using her victimhood platform to rake in donations was essentially true. It was weird to see the name Sargon of Akkad cited in a scholarly article so I looked him up. After that I was hooked and kept learning more about gg.
That course actually kind of changed my life.
I teach a couple master's level courses as an adjunct one semester a year and I've used ungrading before. The author is so busy virtue signaling that she makes it sound as bad as possible. She also handles it differently than I do.
I usually only use it on one or two of the biggest assignments of the semester. I ask the students to submit what they think their grade should be and their rationale to back it up. students can then resubmit their assignment and I'll take a second look and adjust the grade if they've put in the effort and improved it based on the feedback they've received. Oftentimes I find that students grade themselves harder than I would. There's always a couple jackasses that try to take advantage of the situation, though, but they ultimately get the grade they deserve with an explanation as to why they got that grade, and every assignment is graded and students know what grades they get after the assignment is graded.
Having students grade themselves is essentially an extra assignment, forcing them to reflect on their work and grapple with the concepts.
This works well for me but for the instructor who wrote this article it's a different story--she teaches undergrad English. Most kids in undergrad English are there because they're required to fill an English Lit credit. The students in my courses are working professionals who fork over cash because they genuinely want to be there and further their careers.
The thing that pisses me off the most about this teacher is that she tries to play therapist and decide how peoples backgrounds, which she knows nothing about, should play a role in what grade they get. That's absolute commie bullshit and is sadly par for the course in most of education right now. Ungrading can actually be an effective strategy in the right setting.
