I listened to the casefile podcast about silk road recently. There were three alphabet agencies working nonstop to get this guy, one of them was skimming money, another agent convinced UIbricht that he was in danger due to the employees they'd already flipped and that he should have them killed (If Ross indeed did that.) I don't like drugs to but to say gangbangers shooting everyone but their target in the Bronx is worse than people sending small packages of drugs to each other is insane. Also the government was lucky enough to recover around 5 billion worth of Ross' bitcoin that he won't get back.
"They astroturfed the fuck out of it everywhere, like it was really some legitimate social media site that everyone was using." The funniest part was people discovering once you created an account you couldn't delete it without nuking your instagram.
Even if this were genuine, it is too little too late. Facebook has become a platform of exclusively bots and boomers. The only thing I see on there that isn't something my friends posted is indian engagement farming slop.
I don't see this angle being as successful as they think it will. They don't have the ability to blend in and approach "hinduphobia" as a "fellow white." Also their completely undeserved sense of superiority and inability to not call white people inbred idiots. Even middle eastern muslims try to have better PR when they are in small numbers. While the jokes are funny, all but the most dyed in the wool libtards would rather not be around people who can stink up an entire apartment complex. Also they really don't know how to act around women, from weird comments to gang rape.
Bingo. Look at Canada.
I wonder what the carbon footprint of immolating a woman on a subway car is?
I'm starting to feel the way redditors feel about landlords regarding silicon valley. I saw a guy who runs a "cloud based storage solutions" SAAS that "utilizes AI" claim that anyone who wants to end or even limit H1B visas is jealous because they've never created anything. Fooling a VC with vaporware doesn't make you admirable in the slightest. Its like the southpark episode where everyone in SF can't stop inhaling their farts. And this isn't just affecting people who work in tech, a list of the jobs these people are doing includes things like line cooks and janitors who work for 22k a year.
Same here. I'm also giving Elon the benefit of the doubt currently because he seems to be slowly waking up to other issues, but he is surrounded by silicon valley types who benefit greatly from an infinite supply of "cheap" labor who don't mind working 80 hours a week for 40 hours a week pay. I think if he earnestly listens to people who have to work with indian people in tech he will realize the facade of the hard working, intelligent assimilator is just that. Its starting to remind me of the springfield thing before the election, my twitter feed was nothing but indians sperging out about conquering us inbred morons and how much they despise us. I have to think that unrestrained hatred straight from the horses mouth is making its way to some normies.
The inbred thing is hilarious because they have much higher rates of consanguinity, unsurprisingly. Saw someone posit that it comes from their addiction to western pornography.
I love that the thread the quoted tweet is referencing is a woman whose PhD research included "noticing someone smells bad is racist." Nothing makes me happier than social sciences, and educators in general having the curtain pulled back revealing a bunch of bitter retards who waste years and hundreds of thousands of dollars to be in the lamest club possible. Also, leftists' obsession with kid's parents not knowing what they are up to is very strange.
This is awesome. Please keep doing this. More mastectomy scars and penis size customizations, more preachy girlboss faction leaders, more focus on gender studies and the evils of capitalism in fantasy settings, more nonsensical dialogue because you were focused on the character customizations. Watching these morons light cash on fire then throw temper tantrums and blame "incels" is more entertaining than any game in current year could be.
I can't think of anything more out of touch than trying to gather favor with the type of person who watches NFL football by having two dorks stream a video game during the "witching hour" of Sunday games.
There was a study from Brown University a few years back that showed if one elementary school child "transitions" then many others follow, much higher than the standard rate. Basically showing it was a social contagion. It was actually released but the alphabet mafia screeched until they retracted it and issued an apology.
East Asian people's attempts to cash in on the currency of oppression has been hilarious due to their above average outcomes in the west. "Hey, were oppressed, too. We are forced to play doctors and mathematicians on television and kids poked fun at the way our food smelled in elementary school. One white girl even wore a kimono to prom." Someone else pointed it out here, but once you realize every complaint boils down to white people bad it isn't all that surprising. I'm sure Mr. Liu doesn't really mind the fact that hispanic people cook basically every meal he eats out, regardless of "cultural" background of the restaurant.
Very well said. In a vacuum, if these were truly just some features that happen to be in the game I wouldn't care quite as much ("top surgery" scars aside.) Developers that think the ability to give a character a rare skin condition is important are batting 1.000 for making games with painfully boring stories, where middle aged girlbosses require me to gather random items, and lecture me on the evils of capitalism and not trusting the science. Not to mention all the bugs.
Dude was born just a couple decades too late to have a lucrative career as a 90s sitcom bully. Sad!
Good on Mr. Salvini. And I'm glad the woman was unharmed. I went to Bologna recently, might as well have been in Morocco. The square where Italian vendors used to sell leather goods and garments was replaced by a dingy swap meet where everything for sale was either dirty and used (including undergarments for some reason) or obviously stolen. Half the restaurants and shops were shut down. Italians deserve their country back, as does the rest of the west.
Yep. We spent days discussing the evils of canned hairspray and CFCs. Our textbooks were a little behind and said that acid rain was going to kill us all. It really blows my mind when I hear people of a certain age discuss climate change like its nuclear bombs in the cold war era. We've blown by so many "extinction event" predictions I can't even keep them all straight.
You'd think with the time and money commitment a few more million to have players playing it and bots talking it up on twitter would be a drop in the bucket just to avoid the monumental embarrassment.
Definitely. Sometimes it can be hard to separate wishful thinking from actual smoke but I've been seeing a lot of chatter about this on twitter. I would say a grown man who is pretty obviously a closeted homosexual pushing for access to homosexual adolescents via a "club" is extremely suspect.
You are absolutely correct, complete fabrication from an old meme. Multiple people have referenced it at Harris rallies now including the VP candidate as you said. My only hope is Vance fights fire with fire and makes some references to Walz and horse semen.
It blows my mind how many people either dismiss that or claim it was fabricated. Then they turn around and accept the presented narrative of January 6th without pause.
I popped in the talk section a week ago and they were arguing the false couch fleshlight story belonged on his page because it was "significant to the campaign" since so many people were discussing it. I'm glad there are at least a few sane people spending their time editing articles.
Excellent. Jack you are right, they will believe literally whatever the corporate journosphere tells them. Yesterday Axios tweeted that "some have erroneously called Harris the 'border czar' including Axios."
I am genuinely surprised he hasn't been involuntarily committed, but I guess there would have to be someone who loves and cares for him for that to happen.
Was a big fan growing up. They were peak saturday afternoon fare on the middle of the dial channels. Need to revisit. Always loved Bobcat Goldthwaite in them because of how wacky he was.
