Oh, I thought this was about GamerGate, a time period when both sides collectively lost their mind. I guess it's a credit that the media has gotten bored and moved on, since this is the first I heard of this.
Doesn't have to be a large company, just one with "just enough" resources who have made a business over customer protection. Sonic Internet, for instance. It was one of two Internet providers (on a small list) to get a perfect score on the EFF's Who Has Your Back? list from 2015, and in particular they were hailed for how they "oppose the compelled inclusion of deliberate security weaknesses" by government agencies.
Uber made its own bed. Saying this is just the CIA planting nonsense is like saying Bill and Hillary were taken down by the vast right-wing conspiracy or Donald Trump's current woes are because he wants to shake up the intelligence community, etcetc. People who do wrong are very good at deflecting the blame of their personal failings to someone else instead of admitting culpability, Uber doesn't need your help to do that.
I have not reviewed that source, but I will say that at least it does appear to give a more balanced view. Fascists and Nazis on one side, anti-fascists on the other. That's the kind of detail that Breitbart, Heat Street and random YouTube edits tend to leave out.
It was someone actually trying to do investigative journalism, which I encourage until the inevitable budget cuts gut the journalism dept.
Dude, what you're doing here is creepy obsessive. Go outside, forget that Quinn ever existed and everybody will be happier, especially you.
Maybe a bit more spit shine on your armor for her? It won't help. But maybe you can go join Izzy Galvez who was at one time a big "anti-harassment" person all over the media just like her in harassing people. Remember that part where she decided to inject herself into this and decided to start harassing people.
Dude, as an outside observer, this is getting weird. Like everyone else, I was happy to forget Zoe Quinn existed.
Using Brietbart and YouTube as your only sources just discredits your argument. I know, the evil mainstream media would never cover a juicy story like students violently beating each other, no interest in boring stuff like that.
Breitbart, known to fabricate stories and not print corrections when exposed, and YouTube which is unverifiable, doesn't lend your argument any credibility. Quite the opposite, in fact.
Would you accept Berkeleyside then, the newspaper of the City of Berkeley? They have two good writeups of the riots of April 15: Who exactly was it that turned Berkeley into a battlefield April 15? From the article: On the Right: Rich Black, rally organizer. The Proud Boys, “Western chauvinists who refuse to apologize for creating the modern world.” Identity Evropa. Oath Keepers, a civilian militia. On the Left: Antifascist Action aka "Antifa," came to "hold the space" at the park from the right-wing protesters, by force if necessary. The Oak Roots Collective, a new group affiliated with anarchists. By Any Means Necessary aka BAMN, which gets attention since several of its members are open and public as opposed to Antifa's sheer anonymity.
Then, a few days later, the police chief in another Berkeleyside article says that the demonstration and counter-demonstration were kept apart by fencing. That worked until three dozen 'antifa' scaled the fencing to confront the other demonstrators. Someone broke out a large amount of an irritant, maybe pepper spray, and the fighting began there.
Yes the Nazis loved socialists. That's why they stuck fed triangles on them and rounded them up in concentration camps.
Now now, the Nazis hated Communists, and I'm sure there are tons of left-leaning folks here willing to tell you how socialism =/= communism. It's the communists who they rounded up with the gays and the jews, likely because the Nazis were able to control elections, but they feared a russian-style communist revolution would sweep them out of power. For the 25-year history of the Nazi Party, they called themselves socialists, though they were socialist in the same way that today's China is a "people's republic."
Obviously you have never worked at secure facility. USB ports are locked down, either disabled completely or restricted to HID.
Bradley Manning was able to write documents to CD that he smuggled out as audio discs. Granted, that particular incident may have caused a review in who has access to what devices on a system.
Liberals defending treason and sedition, same shit different day.
Weird, I thought it was the conservatives who liked to tell everyone that the big bad government couldn't tell us what to think, that the feds and the spooks couldn't decide what was moral and the rest of us just had to fall in line. We are all endowed by our creator with reason, and above all, we are led, but not ruled.
Would you have said the same thing if there were "leaks" left-and-right by conservatives during the Obama administration?
I was absolutely fine with Snowden, the Ur-example others have used. I've no problems with the leaks exposing the drone programs and surveillance programs.
I'd just like to see an actual trial for this stupid cunt.
You sound like an extremely disgusting person. Do you talk like that to people in Real Life? Does it get you beaten up a lot?
Listen, both you idiots can be right. You guys can be snowflakes, AND the bill can be moronically named. At this point I think it's just pandering to the base.
If they were truly losing money, they would just stop.
I'm not sure, I think most people aren't very good at estimating the cost of wear-and-tear that each additional mile adds for their vehicle. They see the money they get, they compare that to the gas bill, and that's about that. More long-term costs like whether the engine is wearing out, break pads needing replacing, wheels, etc, those are costs that people often don't factor in, or really they don't know how much it'll be.
Oh, so all they have to do is say they're not a taxi company while providing the exact same service as taxis? Well, good to know that we can just take them at their word for that.
But, you know.....the people getting those nice, convenient rides at reasonable prices, couldn't care less about all this.
Hey, it keeps me from drinking and driving, I love the service and use it constantly. What they do at corporate is their problem, I really don't care and I'd dare say most of their customers don't either...if they even know about it at all.
Hey, I've never had a problem with the Uber drivers, the cars, or the ride experience. Everything else about the company is scum, though, and I would question why I would support a company that does those things when there are available alternatives. My company severed its connections with Uber and contracted with Lyft for the last company event where they offered shuttles home. At least for most areas, it's not like Uber is the only game in town -- you're certainly free to choose other options.
When you happen to be accepting of most white cultures, but non-white cultures, well that's multiculturalism, and that's bad. How convenient. No, of course that's not RACIST, it's just against cultures that can't possibly exist together.
It's racist when you say that white and non-white cultures can't exist in harmony together, but you know, it's FANCY racism, gussied up a little more than the Klan was willing to do it.
Yeah since you've never heard of a thing that's a good enough reason to ban it. Let's play along those lines. What will you do when I want to ban something you like because some mean people are using it. If I've never heard about it I hope you'll be OK with banning that too. You'd better show your virtue by giving it up so I don't have to be offended. Otherwise you'd be a racist fascist nazi bigot wouldn't you?
I'm not arguing to ban it. I've never said to ban anything like this, but I suppose Apple can do what they want with their private service. I'm just saying that the symbol's been ruined for its original context.
He owns specific drawings of Pepe, other people can draw frogs and name them Pepe.
Even if he trademarked it, what's he going to do? These aren't major companies going out appropriating Pepe the Frog, it's many individuals. He could sue one dude, but so what? He'll be out a lot of money and there 499,999 other dudes in line to be sued. Trademark has to be defended, and if you can't defend it, people can still run roughshod over it. His 'pepe the frog is dead' thing was an admission that there's really nothing he can do about, so he's washing his hands of his involvement.
The KKK was a function and part of the Democrats. As late as the 1970's. The transfer of the KKK to the "republicans" was a slight of hand magician's trick by the Media and the Democrats
The transfer of the KKK to the Republicans was a result of the Republican "Southern Strategy" to strip political support from the Democrats in the South.
The alt-right, in simplest terms, says: multiculturalism doesn't actually work. Mixing cultures leads to conflict. Furthermore they believe specifically that Western culture is threatened by multiculturalism, because too many migrants from non-western cultures are being accepted, and failing to integrate.
"We're not racist, we just don't believe in mixing of the races. But instead of wearing white hoods and outright calling ourselves white nationalists, by God, we're going to be a little fancy about it!"
Then why do they associate themselves with Richard Spencer's Alt-Right designation? He is absolutely a racist shitbag, and he he created the label. Why associate with that nonsense if it's not what you believe?
This viewpoint is similar to the Christian "Everyone has sinned" baloney. It's there to establish a feeling of guilt. It serves no positive purpose in society.
I wouldn't say it serves NO positive purpose. It's supposed to burst the bubble of unearned pride (re: arrogance) one can get. Unfortunately, many have taken that and turned it into false humility.

Just had to throw Soros in there, because obviously he has to be funding these groups, and somehow he's the root of all evil.
Put themselves between the rioters and the property that was being destroyed. As opposed to clapping and cheering.
People who have done that get attacked by the rioters. You expect a random person to take a stabbing to... prevent property damage?
Obviously you have never worked at secure facility. USB ports are locked down, either disabled completely or restricted to HID.

sorry I speak arabic natively that is wrong
And Trump does not. I would totally buy that some nitwit told him "this is what this word means in Arabic," and he ran with it.

So a very small minority is allowed to dictate what a majority believes, regardless of the protests of the majority? That's good to know, thanks.
Did he bother trademarking it?
He owns specific drawings of Pepe, other people can draw frogs and name them Pepe.

so anybody that supports trump is a racist?
Not automatically racist, but It's a fair assumption to start with.
