She does actually engage in debate with lots of people. In fact, if you bothered to watch her videos you would know that she does address criticisms in them. For example, the claim that she thinks all violence against women is a problem was debunked in a recent one.
No, she actually doesn't. Rather she turns around and gets into a group of people with like-minded individuals who will support her viewpoints without challenging them. But I'm sure that's very valid, because she just happens to keep saying that. If her "official twitter" account is legitimate.
What I mean is exactly what I said. She doesn't debate people, she only wants to engage in actions that are self-reaffirming to her. But let's compare against say Milo, who offered $10k to the charity of her choice for a one on one debate, even going as far as to offer pre-screened debate questions weighted in her favor.
Dude, where's your usual slew of unrelated links? It's like you're hardly trying any more.
You mean those factual links that you never look at, then whine incessantly over when someone else points out that they're factually accurate. Then run away, until a later time like this, where you whine over something instead of adding something to the discussion.
Don't worry, you can find them over on statcan.gc.ca Unless of course you think that official government statistics aren't factual...like you usually do.
Her videos are partly aimed at children, her charity uses them to promote feminism to young people in an accessible way.
And are full of information and claimed facts, which are proven false even at the most casual glance against actual scientific literature. Tell me something, at which point do you stand up and say "when a person refuses to debate another, and claims dissenting points of view are harassment" do you look at that person and consider that their view is shit? Because she's done that. And until that changes, she's no different then a preacher claiming the world is 6000 years old.
Here in Canada, millennials are among the worst for financial planning. Are most likely to be in debt or have already filed for bankruptcy by the time they're 25. GenZ on the other hand is very conservative financially and socially.
I'm gen-x as well, our parents could do so because the job market was stable. There wasn't the issues with having your job outsourced to some 3rd party TFW or H1B because companies abuse it. These days? Pretty much everyone has those problems. The more specialized your job the higher the risk that some bean counter will tell management that you can be dumped for someone who costs 1/3 while farming out your specialized training to x company who will save them a ton of money(but ends up costing them more).
In my grandfather's day, he could quit a job at 8am and have a new job by 10am on the same day. He was a skilled tradesman. If you're a skilled tradesman you can do that today as well, there are far more jobs out there for pretty much every trade that you can pick and choose. And some companies go to absurd lengths to bring you in, even in a non-union shop. For example, the local big truck company here is offering $5k/signing, $15k tool allowance yearly, and 3.5x OT pay over 60/hr week, with double time at the 41-59hr range.
Really, a lot of people who are having problems finding a job, could likely do well in that. Or drive trucks for a while, which has a faster pickup after training. 4yrs is a long time as an apprentice, and the wages you're paid those 4yrs aren't enough to keep you fed, housed, and if you have any type of family? Not a chance. I was paid $2.25/hr(min wage was $6.80) the first 3 years as a mechanics apprentice in the 90's. It's $10.50ish now, but your pay rate is around $5.85/hr for the first year. The demand is so high for drivers in this area that you get an "automatic 200hrs" and insurance qualification from a written multiple choice exam. That's not even starting on the stuff they use to try luring people to them. Free satellite TV, free internet, monthly stipends of $700/food, $3k signing bonuses. I've even seen a few who will hire and pay your drivers training(usually at a good school which includes a skid course) if you agree to contractually stay with the company for 2yrs.
Then you should already know that RAD offers license and royalty free source releases for the 3rd party game tools prior to 1999. Which is the only licensed 3rd party tool that was used by blizzard at the time for their development.
Guess you don't know anybody who's worked for Blizzard huh? That policy changed around the time WC3 was released and they started working on their first MMO. The only thing I miss about my friends working for them is it was great to be a part of the F&F Team.
but my understanding is that the experience with psychedelics is qualitatively different.
It is. I can get high if I take too many pain pills and have a euphoric feeling. The whole idea for those of us on long-term use of pain meds is to "take it before you need it." If you miss that window, you end up taking more and it takes more to reduce the level of pain. Psychedelics though? I've been in LSD and psilocybin studies for migraine treatment because mine are so severe. I never got a high from taking them, rather I had an immense state of satisfaction and contentment in what I was doing and even in life in general. The general benefits were low at the dosing standard used, but some people saw huge improvements. Especially for people who were in it for cluster headaches.
you'd have a hard time recognising what Quebecois speak as French
Quebecois French is much closer to what was spoken/written ~150 years ago. Much like how in parts of the US, english that's used is much closer to that period as well. English in Canada, shifted with english of the UK and still does.
Well we do use a lot of "u" in our english up here. Just remember, if you head to eastern Canada and someone asks if you want mayo with your fries that's normal.
No, it's because some of the people who worked for Blizzard and wrote the original Starcraft code aren't at Blizzard anymore but still have ownership of those snippits of code. Remember how the industry used to be? Where code sections you wrote would remain under your power, as a part of your employment at the company? That's the reason why. They can't release to source code without permission from those people.
Hell just look at the clusterfuck with things like NOLF or SHOGO: Mobile Armor Division and so on. Nobody has any idea who even owns the source code let alone the IP anymore, but IP laws are such a mess that even in that state they can't release what source code they do have. It's a good argument on the need to reform various laws on IP protection though.
Closer to 10% actually. When you fill out a census in Canada, you're given the option to fill out the "primary language you speak at home" which is where you get 21% from. You're then given the "what other languages do you fluently speak/etc." Half of those people speak both english and french fluently.
Going to point out something to you, just so you understand. It's not the alt-right. It's liberals, conservatives, republicans, and democrats that are on the verge of abandoning the party that don't like NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, WAPO, NYT and so on. It's the far left that has a problem with Fox, but those people don't. You know why? Because almost ~20 years ago Fox News gave those center and right-leaning people news that wasn't left slanted. They didn't try to hide their ideological bias on it either, they wore it on their sleeves. That's why those people don't have a problem with them, but have a problem with the others.
It's why at last count 30m people have left the democrat party and gone independent, green, republican or libertarian. It's because when those conservative and republican voices said ~15 years ago that the media on the left was lying and biased, they all chortled. And in the last 2 years, with the amount of bias that those same people chortled over, they saw with their own eyes, or experienced something different then what the media was presenting. That people have fundamentally turned on the media. It's also why that distrust of the media is still growing.
They would likely have a bigger subscriber growth number if content wasn't region locked. There's a huge difference in content between even US and Canada netflix and what's available in both countries. Not even comparing the differences between US/UK or CDN/UK libraries. For me that's really something I'd enjoy seeing, but I doubt will happen short of another decade.
Something else though, there is a lack of material in their library at least here in Canada. Then again, there was also a huge lack in Bell and Rogers own netflix type services as well. I believe it was Rogers that just killed theirs after a year or two and something like $200m/loss on it. Content creators could reach more audiences if they wanted, but it seems they don't want to. Which is why torrenting TV/Movies/etc is such a huge thing in Canada, even your most computer illiterate person here likely torrents(until they get caught and get a VPN). And it could be all mostly over tomorrow if those companies would hook up and supply everywhere.
What new conspiracy theory is this? She doesn't control IMDB, and they comments and ratings are displayed there.
The two of us saying something different. That's all, no conspiracy. Most people aren't going to go to IMDB for ratings, they're going to look at the source(youtube). Where she disables everything.
Well it could be like Bell Canada. Who uses your street address for your wifi password, and uses WEP as the default security. Sometimes there are things far worse, and really the problems here are people either don't look things up(like what UPnP does), or think that because it's set to on by default it's perfectly safe. Second that companies enable this by default because "it makes it easy."
I guess that's why they had so many cases where people were suddenly "cut off" when they started talking about things that CNN considered forbidden. And they did so, so many times that it became a meme. As for CNN trying to shape the election? Remember their reporters(along with politico, nbc, and several other publications) getting caught sending drafts to the DNC? Then there were the other cases where they directly published stuff from the DNC. You can find those both in the wikileaks dumps. Then there was the case where someone under their employ(Donna Brazile) fed Clinton debate questions. Oh you bet your ass they tried to shape the election and got caught doing it.
The US on the other hand, interfered with so many European elections that it's scary. And Russian elections, and in Canadian elections, and Israeli, and, and, and, and....
Hey did you catch that bit about the Steele thing? You know where they're refusing to answer any questions regarding it to the senate intelligence committee? No? That's okay. It's not like something doesn't stink there.
If the investigations into Trump were politically motivated you would have heard about them in October.
Funny thing, we found out about them about a month ago. And it was started right after Trump became the nominee. It *almost* seems like the previous president was hoping someone else was going to win, and they could simply sweep this egregious abuse of power under the rug.
Kinda strange isn't it? How come you didn't hear about previous administrations doing this...
You want to try that again? I'm sure her word for it, is just as true as when she claimed Benghazi was because of a youtube video. And it came out via wikileaks that this was a deliberate obfuscation of the event.
Well you can feel whatever way you want about it, but considering you have multiple agencies stating that there was no evidence or said evidence was circumstantial at best. I'm sure that's working out great for you. I'm guessing you'll be right there in supporting republicans and their demands that she come for an under-oath interview right? That should clean it all up very quickly. It's not like they'd have to subpena her or anything, like several investigative committees did to the current head of the DEA because of bureaucratic stonewalling.
... Unmasking isn't something she can do without asking permission from the relevant intelligence agency.
Then I'm sure you can answer how she was able to unmask without the permission of those agencies then, since the order appears to have come directly from her. Or the fact that she ordered detailed spreadsheets on specific people in the Trump camp. This of course is also while she claimed she didn't do it. I'm going to note that DC isn't the only site that has made this claim either, so has the WSJ and Bloomberg.

Have you seen the ratings for Tropes Vs Women? They didn't do anything about that either.
Not everything is an SJW conspiracy
No, and neither can you. Because she hides the ratings and disables comments.
Well it could be like Bell Canada. Who uses your street address for your wifi password, and uses WEP as the default security.

True. There is no proof, but we all know for damn sure that it is true.
I normally don't respond to AC's. But the irony, I can taste it through the internet.
I'm just going to leave this right here. Then when you get to the parts where your arguments fall apart you can let me know.

Which is exactly what I said.
Sure, but you're continuing to miss the point. You figure it out yet or no?
Canadians are mostly white. I'm sure the white Canadians will be welcomed by those trying to curb illegal immigration in the US.
I fixed that for you. Just a FYI, Canadians feel the same way for the most part about illegal immigration as Americans do. But if you travel into one of the cesspools like Toronto, you'd find it's more like San Fransisco in it's view. And even your average Canadian is getting tired of it.
