Did you know that modern computer chips can perform thousands of operations which are not present in any of the documentation available? Literally nobody but the manufacturer really even knows anything about what a computer is actually doing when these functions are active.

Software is not going to protect you from surveillance when your hardware was designed to be compromised.

So it says right there that the people who run the site do not guarantee the accuracy of their data.

Focus your life on what you want to build positively. Spending all day every day focused on how awful your enemies are breeds nothing but hatred and will ruin you in the long run.

The best way to counter insurgencies is to actually create better communities, which is something hatred can't ever do.

Alt-right was briefly used by some former liberals who felt the need to oppose the political left, but still felt hesitation to support the establishment right. Once the media went wild with the term it got dropped pretty fast.

This step was made necessary by the gallery’s recent decision to hold a vote denying official accreditation to, yet again, the Rebel. (Unlike Ottawa’s press gallery, where such decisions are made by a board, Alberta’s group lets majority vote rule.)

Seems kind of dishonest to be claiming that the president has the power to approve them.

This has been widely available for some time now. I would be absolutely shocked if there was a legitimate leak and it was left open for this long with all the random IPs accessing it.

Something here is fishy.

Thank you for sharing. This sub is absolutely hilarious right now.

That never would have happened in the first place if we had protected our tech sector properly.

The Great Firewall is one thing that China has done right. Giving our geopolitical rivals free access to each and every individual citizen via the Internet was a terrible idea.

You've already adopted a loser mentality by blaming other people for your actions. Forget about what other people say and make the kind of world you want to live in, like a real man.

You all bemoan the destruction of traditional society, yet as soon as someone suggests that perhaps you ought to start behaving more like traditional men you cry bloody murder.

I'll bite.

Which of the ideas that she presented do you find to be unreasonable challenges?

Successful men do not want their relationships to be a challenge.

That's simply untrue. The most successful people are those who thrive upon challenge.

For a number of years I was casually dating someone that I found both extremely attractive (solid 11/10) and personally very interesting. The deal breaker for me was that she would make excuses for every bad habit that I had, trying to make life as easy as absolutely possible for me. I need someone who will encourage my best qualities, and discourage my worst, so that our relationship can help me grow to become a better person. I need someone who can challenge me.

It's perfectly fine if that's not the kind of person you're interested in, there are vastly more women around who won't challenge you. Don't go around insisting that someone must want to date people like you in order to be a good person though.

I downvoted everyone who was talking smack instead of talking about issues. That it happened to be everyone else who had commented was just coincidence.

You're talking like a communist, as if "women" are some politically homogeneous group rather than treating them as individuals, each with their own unique personalities and ideals.

You complain about others being hateful, yet you express nothing but contempt for everyone.

If you meet an asshole in the morning, you've met an asshole, but if you meet assholes all day long, you might be the asshole.

I think she's seeing a real issue, but missing the mark when she assumes it's a men issue.

We absolutely have a very real socialization problem right now. There is no real road map for anyone regarding how we should be treating each other, and that's not an easy thing for anyone to navigate entirely on their own.

Even worse though, is that there are widespread influences encouraging us to take a hostile stance towards others (just look at the other comments in this thread). Communication with your partner is the foundation of a healthy relationship, but you must also be careful that you don't spend too much time engaging with Internet content that is detrimental to your relationship. How much time you spend with any given set of information will impact how important that becomes to forming your personality, and as more people spend more time online the Internet is taking over many people's personal development.

TL;DR: Spend more time with your partner, less time online. If you want a healthy relationship, your partner must be the most important influence in your life.

Edit: Here is the link to the actual video. Please watch the entire thing with an open mind and consider the actual substance to what she's saying, because she really does touch on important points.

Every damn game these days is expected to adhere to a number of universal constants, and any deviation from that formula is met with hostility by people who are either uninterested or incapable of learning anything new.

Ironically, it's that exact inflexibility that originally drove nerds to create their own hobbies rather than participate in popular culture.

I think the primary issue that alternatives are facing is that many people who have decided to leave places like reddit are spending more time offline, rather than looking for a similar site to replace it.

They made the game so horrendously tedious that many people view actually having to play the game to progress through it to be an unendurable chore.

Yet they still pay for it.

Understood.

I believe that you are wrong about the state of the world, but I recognize that words aren't enough to open your eyes. I can at least promise you that I will do what I can to show you that the world has more to offer.

Once again, who here said anything about doing something for other people?

Consuming a product that is specifically designed to cause you psychological/spiritual suffering, is bad for YOU.

Who said anything about symbolic gestures?

I'm just surprised that anyone can actually enjoy a game/company that actively hates them.

You've been demoralized and compromised. It's not normal to subject yourself to this shit.

Okay with nuking China, killing a billion people.

Not okay with giving up a video game that supports China's political goals.

Can hardly believe people still give money to Beijing so they can play a game that aggressively hates them.

Anything that someone is willing to do to your enemies on your behalf, they will happily do to you also if they ever perceive you as an enemy.
