    No, no it wasn't. Typical garbage coming out of a clickbait site. Time records votes by cookie, delete the cookie and you can vote again. Some online polls have gotten better requiring more then that like tying to a IP for X number of hours. What the fuck has happened to /. when people can't tell the difference between actual hacks, and simple reset/deletion/temporary-allow scripts that you can write in greasemonkey.

This bullshit is getting bad enough that even left-wing journalists are calling the entire thing bullshit, and for good reason. Where does it get good?

    People don't realize that this is pretty much the gigantic fuckup we have in parts of Canada now. While we use FPTP, in Ontario for example. The political parties only need to run for the Greater Toronto Area(GTA), and if you win that and say London or Ottawa, you've won the province. Getting rid of the electoral college will basically make sure that things get worse.

    Forget it. We already have enough loons here in Canada, and I doubt our country could survive their brand of crazy. Between the carbon tax that going to jack prices up on everything by 20% and hate speech laws now covering "not using the right pronouns." We've got more then enough. Maybe they could go enjoy Sweden, and the inability to get around due to feminist snow-plowing. Or go enjoy that multiculturalism that they keep going on about in Africa, or Mexico.

    Third party standards for hate speech? Are any of the "third parties" remotely neutral in their designation of hate speech?

    Likely no. In which case Breitbart is likely going to have a field day with their lawyers getting involved in it. If anything, their "third party groups" are probably along the same lines as Twitter's "Trust and Safety Council" full of far-left groups that look right at home at your local antifa meeting. Of course, WAPO has no problems operating their own blacklist. Gee looks like WAPO is actually fake news now.

    That moment when you realize that the "big 3" NA automakers only have their headquarters in Detroit. With development, research, and manufacturing everywhere else. Within 200km there are 6 GM, 4 Ford, 4 Chrysler, 3 Toyota plants. Those pretty much span the breadth of what those companies make. A bit further out from 200km and then you start seeing the development plants, fabbing, and so on.

    This is how someone like Trump can get elected. There are actually people who believe what this goof is saying.

    Funny. I thought it was because the media decided to lie through their teeth over a candidate and proclaim her to be the second coming, while glossing over the massive amount of corruption she was involved in.

  10. The good thing is, it's very easy to prove how much these sites actually vet stories. An example of a journalist tricked into spreading a hoax because they wanted to be the first one firing off. Not even the first time that this has happened, not even the 100th time this has happened. If people really want to see fake news in action, look at the garbage written by the media against the Tea Party, or Gamergate. Why? Both didn't fit the narrative, one was against the political establishment the media has an interest in. The second because they started calling the media out on their bullshit and lack of ethics, or even basic fact-checking. Then compare it against say BLM, which the media fawns all over. Despite members of BLM actively calling for violence and attacks against whites or police.

  13. Nobody "missed your point". You explicitly claimed that Trump did not say it was a hoax. It has been shown that he indeed said it. Now you simply aren't man enough to step up and about you were wrong.

    Considering you can set your tractor to "auto drive" with some of the more expensive version along with your fertilizing and planting equipment completely? This revolution is already here. Pretty much every tractor out there has GPS built in these days to allow you to program everything in. Hell, a buddy of mine who owns a cattle farm(milk), doesn't even go out and deal with milking his cows anymore. It's all automated. The only time he even has to worry about it, is when the milker can't find the teats but that maybe happens one every 2-3 days. He's got around 1500 head, so it was a tedious chore before. You can even get equipment to do automatic vaccinations(as they come in for milking) and booster shots for your cattle, and everything from robot controlled egg immunization for chickens and turkeys and egg selection for breeding.

    I briefly followed GG (as a casual observer). Is there a 'where are they now, 2 years later' post? It seems everyone forgot about gaming when Trump started running for president.

    You can check the timeline on one of the GG wiki's this is the one on KiA. You can also check the catalog for the GG thread on 8ch.net/v/(somewhat comprehensive moves fast) or 8ch.net/gamergatehq/(lot of information moves very slow) Lot of people are still there, but GG itself is in a holding pattern because nearly everything that was wanted, was gained. Now it sits waiting for the next outbreak. Though some people have moved from gaming to the media at large, and that's only a good thing. The vast majority of sites now have a ethics and guidelines policy. One of the big things GG wanted. The sites that were shit are gone, or continue to have declining numbers. The small sites they promoted as alternatives like techraptor and nichgamer have both recently broken the top 1k sites in the world.

    Well, that was what they did with "gamergate" - they doubled down on the shaming language until the gamers metaphorically spanked them. It wasn't until the advertisers pulled the advertising dollars that they backed down.

    The far-left social justice type press hasn't stopped, but considering their declining eyeball count, it's likely the only thing that keeps their tiny demographic still coming in.

    GamerGate was using 4chan to organise their harassment. That's why it was banned, allowing it to continue would have made it impossible to keep the site going with hosting and ad revenue.

    You know, 2 years on you've yet to ever show proof of this harassment. But you'll happily claim that 3rd party trolls are "gamergate people" even when it's shown that yes, they're actually 3rd party trolls.

    4chan gets a lot of traffic and can only get low paying ads due to its content. 8chan can only tolerate the harassment because it needs much less cash to keep going, being much less popular. The operator being outside US jurisdiction helps too.

    And another bit where you don't have any idea of what you're talking about. I'm sure next you're going to claim that the owner of 4chan is really, really short on cash and needs money. FYI 8chan's owner is a US citizen and the site adheres to US laws.

Oh I get it, you're okay with the insane angry left-wingers that attack people for perceived insults and slights, while engaging in witch hunts.

  22. Trump really did say that climate change was a hoax though. It's not fake when it's in his own words coming from his own twitter account.

    4chan, of all places, lost its shit when the owner had to ban GamerGate.

    That's probably because the people in Gamergate were right. Never mind that mootles didn't have any problems with project chanology, until he got leaned on by them. And the so-called people who claimed they were "anti-harassment specialists" were the ones out there harassing, doxing, and doing the shit that they claim gamergate was. The "game journalism" industry is and was corrupt, several of those sites are now gone though. Having collapsed under their own corruption, many of the people involved in the "gamers are dead" articles are no longer writing in the industry. People like Sarkeesian have moved on to a new batch of suckers(just a fyi her dvd videos are only like 4 years late now and she hasn't even finished the project). But you can see that in the gamejournopros leaks exactly how corrupt. Not only were authors colluding, they were pushing particular political and social narratives. Shit like doritogate and kane & lynch were just the start. It took years for it to finally hit a breaking point. You know, much like how the brexit campaign or Trump's election.

    But I'm guessing that you haven't learned anything from those two cases either.

    It was deleted because people were using it to harass people in the real world, some users were even making up stories about unrelated restuarants and posting child pornography to go with those stories.

    Not quite true. People there weren't harassing people, nor were they doxing them. There was a non-doxing/harassment rule like on most subs. What's interesting is that members of the /r/pizzagate mod team have claimed that the administration were unbanning people, who were being banned by the subs mods. Those people who were being banned included those who were doxing, and posting CP. On top of this, that subreddit had already broken open a massive CP ring on twitter. Last count ~7000(I've seen numbers as high at 14k) or more accounts. Twitter's response so far has been to ban the people who found the accounts. Some of those CP accounts have been banned but most have not.

    This entire thing stinks. On top of that with Spez deciding to pull this bullshit, they've also likely lost their safe harbor provisions. On top of that, toss in the absolutely weird shit in the podesta emails, including wording that seems to indicate some kind of pedophile stuff going on? They may have found something, they might not have. But reddit turning around and banning the sub is going to toss more fuel on the fire.

  25. Mashiki, you realize that the tweets from Trump's account that call it a hoax still exist, right? The internet is forever.

    You realize that fake news exists, and it's coming from the media that claims it's a paragon of virtue and objectivity? Maybe you'd be happier over on reddit, where the CEO can just edit your posts because "reasons."
