Leftists especially only get a very stage managed experience where they only meet certain types of migrants like Mohammed who runs their local corner shop.
This. If you live in a middle/upper class life, you are going to associate with middle/upper class people, regardless of their ethnicity.
There's an incredible amount of mirror bias in liberal thought. They really believe that most people think and act like them: law-abiding, rational, good citizens. That's probably why it's so easy to convince them that "systemic racism" is responsible for all the blacks in prison. In their minds, everyone would be leading a similar successful life if only these poor unfortunate souls been given the same chances they had.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but they should still own all the data. The host can terminate their access to the domain, but the data always remains the property of the entity that was running the site.
I don't know how the data would be returned, but I'm pretty sure the law in every western country says it's their property.
This. I play Sea of Thieves and refuse to watch some faggot on twitch for hours to get a new spyglass skin.
The guys I play with are like "I just let it run in the background and don't pay attention". I'm not going to participate in that farce. I'm not sure how people are profiting from this, but someone is getting money from all this fake viewership.
It also feeds into this gay "internet personality/influencer" culture that is so toxic to our society. I refuse to contribute to some 40-year-old soy boy faggot living in his parent's basement and playing video games as an occupation. Or worse: help that same fag make more money than people with honest jobs.
I also recently found out that people are reselling this shit on eBay for like 50 Twitch items for $2, so even if I really cared about that stuff and had to have it, I would rather spend a tiny amount of money than spend hours fake watching people on Twitch.
Where is the demand for this bullshit? Free markets are supposed to provide supply to meet demand, but it seems like everything coming out of Hollywood lately is shit nobody wants to watch.
That's plausible. What I don't get is the universality of it.
Target? Sure, they love homos, so blasting black Santa over all the shelves is in character for them. Netflix? They're known for it. But Walmart and Hobby Lobby? I wouldn't think that every store would go this way.
This. The shocker to the world was that Russia didn't blow through the Ukraine like Germany blew through France in 1940.
Instead, they're winning the only way Russia seems to know how- keep both sides dying until the other side runs out of soldiers.
Where the hell is the black Santa push coming from this year? I think I've seen black Santas before, but they are equal to or more common than normal Santas on the shelves at all the stores, including Hobby Lobby. There's apparently two Netflix movies with them this year. It's like they all got together and decided that this was the "latest thing" they were choosing to push this year.
I treat comic books like they just stopped publishing them entirely in the early 1990s.
Everything before that is readable, if not good, and serves as a cultural snapshot of the era it was published in if nothing else. The 1980s especially approached the quality of actual literature, which is why they continuously mine those stories as the base for the movies and TV shows.
For the X-Men specifically, it would be in the year or two after they created the blue and gold teams, reformed the New Mutants into X-Force, and completely changed the lineup of X-Factor.
This shit is everywhere now. I was helping someone pick a specialist doctor and every single one on the list was a foreigner who went to medical school in the Caribbean, Africa, or Mexico. They all had relatively abysmal reviews on Yelp as well. I wonder why...
Chauvin was convicted of unintentional second-degree murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter in April 2021 for the May 2020 death of George Floyd.
Oh look, yet another thing wrong with our legal system. You can only kill somebody once, so how can you be convicted for three different crimes, that are variations on the same thing for killing one person.
Another favorite: Juries in some states can choose to convict somebody of a lesser charge if they feel the prosecution didn't fully make their case. "The defendant stands accused of crime X, but if you'd rather convict him for crime Y, you can choose to do that in instead. A trial was never meant to be a Choose your Own Adventure game for the jury.
Maybe, or they're covering themselves from a lawsuit. Since I'm sure they will be banning people for things that don't actually violate their terms of service- for example, I don't think the quote in the OP would meet any reasonable standard of harrassment- I don't want to give an angry gamer a cause of action in court for billing for services they are no longer providing. They get sued, the plaintiff maybe you will get access to all sorts of information that they don't want out there
This would be the SPLC that apparently discriminates against women and minorities: https://www.npr.org/2019/04/17/713887174/after-allegations-of-toxic-culture-southern-poverty-law-center-tries-to-move-for
How they haven't been cancelled by the left boggles my mind.
The left always eats itself. Look at the infighting during the Spanish Civil War. The Republicans were too busy purging each other to win a war with the Nationalists.
People shop at GameStop?
Looks like the ChiComs beat up the guy in the photographer's vest first (and tried to hide it from public view using their flags) and the brawl in the OP was a response to that.
It's sort of funny that the Democrats keep these useful idiots worked up into a frenzy about perceived injustices and then can't control them.
I think I'm okay with this. Things aren't going to get better through elections and court cases.
Their hope in oppressing large swaths of the population is it you will either apologize for your transgressions, accept "re-education", and become a good little drone, or live in a miserable existence, powerless to do anything about it.
There is a third option: if they make it so Joe Sixpack's wife can't get a job and his son can't get into a good college because he made an off-color remark on the internet, he may just decide that he's done with this government.
The whole system relies on everyone behaving and not breaking laws or revolting. If you incentivize the everyday man to break laws and revolt, your government isn't long for this world.
So that's what happened. I've got my privacy settings on my browser set pretty high, so I thought it just started blocking the extension that loaded the comments.
Yeah, I forgot she mentioned that she let her friends know she arrived all right. Which is already far more connectivity then I think most people would have. How did she leave her house with the gripping fear that torments her?
I would just be like "here's my itinerary; talk to you in a few days when I have cell service."
"Gibs me dat. Don't gibs him dat."
Seriously, who would publish this waste of electrons?
This chick parked where she knew there wouldn't be cell service, nothing bad happens, but she still writes a thousand word essay on how is a huge mistake because she was unsettled by the completely predictable outgrowth of her choices.
Yes, an actual enlisted military guy was parading around his furry gay fantasies on social media as if it was a good thing.
Oh, it's much worse than that. He was a full O-6 colonel. That's the rank that commands brigades in the Army and air wings in the Air Force. It's one step below general, and is a rank high enough that they have reserved spots in front of the hospital or Base exchange.
Even if the wearer isn't in a command position there are typically only a handful of colonels on a base unless you're talking about a major headquarters like the Pentagon or some of the giant army bases.
This particular individual was a helicopter pilot stationed in Hawaii and outed himself with the picture in uniform just as he was retiring. He also had some pictures with the mask on the flight line and several with his junior ranked thralls wearing similar masks.
It caused a very brief stir on the military social media scene and then seemed to disappear in days without comment. He was positively ID'd. I believe complaints were filed about him, but as far as I know the military didn't do anything. Likely because he was already retired, although that's not an excuse because they can pull anybody out of retirement to discipline them.
Five liters of the viscous, PCB-laden liquid sells for $60. It looks like cooking oil, but lasts much longer, users say.
Well, I'm sold. What's dying from toxic chemicals already outlawed in the US compared to being able to use your cooking oil longer?
"So long and thanks for all the fish!"
