I'd say they're privacy oriented, like I am. What can you do? The same thing that people have done in the past, refuse to participate in it. Something is only lost when you give up, as it stands there is no "social media" presence for me out there. I don't exist at all among social media networks or anything else. It's not hard to do and still keep a large enough social and work network. If anything, I see more people going back to face-to-face social networking because they're tired of all the inane, pointless, bullshit drama that happens on every single platform.
You have to ask yourself, as I did, is it worth it? Becoming an outcast in the name of a principle nobody cares for?
Sure is. The real question is, are you a person who can hang onto their principals while others are throwing theirs to the wind?
You should ask the media. The Trump-Russian narritive suddenly got very quiet about a month or so back, right around the time th at Debbie Washamaln Schultz's "IT guy" was arrested while trying to leave the country, and that one just keeps getting more interesting. Including that he sold emails(of nearly all the democrats) and classified information to multiple foreign governments.
In Canada, we call this person Kathleen Wynne. And her policies many of which are the exact same as Sanders, have effectively ruined the province of Ontario. It's why her party is polling at 14% less then 9 months from a mandatory election and herself has a rating of 5-7% depending on the polling company. But by all means, vote for someone who's policies are already in place and enjoy the screaming down hill.
Especially the push for $15 'minimum wage' which will cost ontario at the minimum 50,000 jobs(and raise the unemployment rate by 1pt to 7.3%) at the very most conservative estimate, and at the high end could be as much as 760,000 jobs(nearly by nearly 6 pts or 11% unemployment). That comes directly from the oversight board that watches over government policy and spending.
Really want to pull that? So how many EO's that Obama pushed like DACA that were constitutional violations are you still cheering? Right, I thought so. Oh let's not forget his "If I had a son" comment along with identity politics, which pushed race relations back 30 years. But you're so concerned with "grab them by the pussy."
It's hilarious that Trump, who spread that racist lie about Obama's birth place is a stone cold traitor.
FYI: That was hillary clinton. It was her idea in order to stop him from being a candidate in the DNC primary. Enjoy your craziness for the day. You can also find WAPO articles on it if you want, including articles from the guy that the Clinton campaign passed the info to and was sent to Africa and tried to find out if it was true or not.
Except when "diversity" is being used in a religious like way to bump or push a candidate into a position, even when a more talented person would have been hired. To a point: She wasn't likely hired because she was a music major. She was likely hired into that position because they were female. So that the company could show just how "progressive" they were and "rah feminism" they are at putting women into high level positions(you know the bullshit that feminists and progressive have been pushing for 7-8 years now). And you can almost bet that there were people under her scrambling around to cover up the exec-level bungling. Hell you can even hear it in radio ad's "look at us, so-and-so company we're an all female/black/latino/etc company" as some type of header before the sales shtick.
Anyone who's worked in a corporate environment in the last decade has seen this. Where someone else is hired into some management system not based on skill, or knowledge, or ability, or foresight and understanding. But because of their race, sex, or something else that they were born with. There's a very strong anti-meritocracy movement in corporate environments right now, and it's killing those companies.
Never been to Europe, Canada or Australia, right? Our local haters hate anything they don't understand. Yews, muslims, people with jobs, school, etc..
I've worked in Europe(UK and Germany), I live in Canada, I have family that live in Australia. Considering several imams were recently charged here in Canada for supporting 'spousal abuse' and publishing literature to hate the jews? Yeah, don't let your own level of ignorance hurt you.
That is the their goal. If you read the thread though, you'll quickly find out that it was their registrar that forced them or they'd seize their domain name. Said registrar also violated their agreement with gab.ai, and the ToS. Gab was given under 48hrs or lose their domain name vs the ToS which states 15 days. Something similar happened with 8chan, when SJW's lied and said the site hosts child porn to have their domain terminated. Censorship by underhanded BS is the new norm for the easily offended.
I'd consider the entire thing a learning experience for them. Probably one of the reasons why they're moving to a new registrar and blockchain. But if you're going to start a new platform, best make sure you get contracts signed up on what the registrar can and can't do. Something they failed to do diligently in this case.
Let's remember that there are communities on this planet where depression is an unknown, especially the so called third world nations
Uh buddy, hate to be the one to break it to you. But this was known back in ye olde roman times and earlier. The diagnosis was usually something like "malaise of the soul."
Antisemitism is almost exclusively a feature of the right. That's because the left when it encounters it works to purge it from it's ranks.
Quite the level of bullshit there. On the left it's called BDS, and is the veneer of leftist antisemitism wrapped up in a palatable package. A single trip to a university like the University of Toronto is enough to show just how much of a lie that statement is. Not only do they embrace it, they encourage and bring out bigotry that's akin out of 1939. You can even see it within political parties in the EU. There isn't a subtle shift if "israeli to jewish" it's right there that BDS is to go after the jews.
Only in your mind. But I'm guessing "how to beat your wife for not wearing a burka, and making sure it doesn't show in public" is a hot seller among jew haters, especially in the EU, Canada and Australia. Along with 23 reasons why Jews are less then dogs(quite popular with the imam crowd -- going by their rants). And "slavery for fun and profit, what do do with your sex slave when she's been passed around 283 times." Which is apparently popular with the ISIS loving caliphate, and girls who run off there to join them.
Also, the point of sanctuary cities isn't to protect rapists from deportation. If you commit a criminal act, sure let the justice system work (no one is arguing this point, but nice try at the straw man). The point is to prevent my local taxes to be used in enforcing federal immigration laws. I don't want my police spending their time checking papers. No one is saying that INS can't come to the city and round people up. They do have jurisdiction everywhere in our country. But they don't get to use my law enforcement or jails. Seems totally fair to me.
Something that factually happens = strawman. Brilliant. So why are you supporting not using the law against those who are violating the law? Maybe you can go ask all those people in Europe who thought the same way you did, right up until some of them got beat to death, or the crown jewels stolen from the palace.
Or how about here in Canada, where people were quite 'welcoming' of these illegals, until they turned around and started acting like street gangs, attacking kids, and so on. I always find it interesting that people like yourself line up for the "oh just let them in" right until it actually impacts you.
Why don't you go to your nearest Canadian Doctor and ask for help instead? Being a toddler on the Internet isn't a crime, it's a sickness.
Funny how your entire comment simply broke down into insults, and the inability to actually argue anything. Let alone countering any point at all, like the even most basic things like how sanctuary cities do operate in a revolving door fashion.
I'm finding this mindset you have very interesting. "Tyrannical law of feelings" is actually enforcing existing laws. What will you post modernists come up with next.
You mean besides the crime? That it promotes human smuggling via ease of access? It's a simple act to reduce both?
Yes, it is.
Explain, otherwise you're just going 'muh illegals.'
Yes, bashing them foreigners who you contend are rotten and despicable criminals.
Thanks for your membership in the Know-Nothing party.
If you're entering a country illegally, they are criminals. This isn't rocket surgery.
Your story indicates you are jealous, yes.
Jealous of people who are taking resources away from people within the host country that already need them? Or jealous of the people who are flaunting the law, and being a person who believes in the rule of law?
Which is the root of the problem, your tribalism.
Laws = tribalism now. Brilliant! What's next in our era of post-modernist thought?
As said already:
"They" are out to get us, and "we" must be vigilant and get them first . ...
That's your mindset.
Thanks for demonstrating it.
You need to face your anger.
So why don't you explain why you don't want the rule of law? Why are you in favor of people abusing the system? Why are you in favor of these illegals pushing down wages? Why are you in favor of them committing fraud to collect social assistance? And with this, explain what's gained by sanctuary cities where some of these people commit multiple felonies and then are released by those cities. And said persons continue to commit crimes, where the entire situation becomes a revolving door.
Are you so much in favor of simply letting say a rapist go because your ideology thinks they're too stupid to apply for citizenship legally? Oh right, they wouldn't be allowed citizenship because they committed a felony or I/O. See the problem here? You're throwing the rule of law to the wind because of your feelings, you don't care that other lives are ruined as long as it makes you feel better.
No country has shown more social rot than the United States.
You've got no idea on what you're even saying. Go, travel the world. Let me know when you hit a country like Japan where being homeless is so stigmatized that you're considered 'less of a person.' Go and hit european countries that turn around and bury mass-rape gangs of their own citizens by immigrants because the police and councils are afraid of being labeled racist. Or where news stories about grenade attacks as the question 'are grenade attacks the new normal here.'
. For his part, Trump said we need a wall to defend ourselves against the Mongol Hordes from Mexico. They all do the same thing.
That's not really true. Trump said the US needs a wall to protect itself from illegals, and he's right. Before someone says "walls don't work" they work very well in Israel, where rampant suicide bombings and mass-murders of entire families dropped to zero. They're sure working in Hungary and Greece. Thousands of people trying to cross per month, to under two dozen. I'd be very happy if Canada started instituting some similar policy, since we're now being flooded by illegals who are entering from the US. The social safety net is already under strain from them, enough so that Ontario had to beg the feds for more money. Quebec is right on the verge of doing the same. And people who are citizens, have been kicked out of hotels(in Canada hotels are often rented out and paid by government when there is a lack of actual low income housing), and low income housing to give these illegals rooms. The average wait in Ontario for low income housing is between 4-8 years depending where you are in the province.
"They" are out to get us, and "we" must be vigilant and get them first . ..
This whole thing isn't bashing foreigners. It's bashing people who illegally enter a country, piss on the laws, and then try to jump to the front of the queue to become citizens. And before someone tries the 'but ur a white male...' nah I'm half-asian, who's family legally immigrated to Canada, back when Canada still operated indentured servitude farms for immigrant families while they waited out the process(that's from the 1950's). That was basically legal slavery. You had to go there, your family had to work there and in most cases you stayed there for 3-5 years in complete poverty at a level that would be considered criminal today.
Nothing pisses me off more then people who abuse immigration, or try to queue jump because they want a 'better life.' Do it legally. Integrate into society. You won't make people pissed off at you then.
Now you can get back to arguing over whatever the hell you want.
If it actually ever hits that point of "robots doing everything." You won't need basic income, the monetary system will be broken. Society would need a new way to calculate wealth.
That means there's a glut of high power vacuum cleaners which can't be sold/imported etc. We should ship 'em all over to the gulf and have you all just suck up the next hurricane
Actually you should ship them to the US. High-power vacuums are absolutely critical for sucking up standing water inside building. Helps keep water borne pests down, reduces the chance of mold starting in buildings too. It's very easy to convert them to wet/dry as well. Lot of houses use lumber resistant to rot, and in areas known to flood repeatedly, houses are designed to be quick-gutted down to the frames. There's a big market there, not even kidding for both FL and TX right now.
Autism was the hot shit a few years ago, so this is a push building on that. Everybody is claiming to be transgender now, just like in the 1970's you had political lesbianism.
You think an advanced society has people arrested for criticizing Islam?
Since some loopy nuts believe that censoring speech and having blasphemy laws is the sign of an advanced society I guess so. Myself? If your society has blasphemy laws you're not. And if you're using those laws to protect only one religion you're regressing as a society.
If your "advanced society" can't stand criticism, it's sure not advanced. And if you've got people promoting it, then you've got social rot. Something that most of the west has seen a resurgence in, in the last decade or so.
Obviously it's politics causing the storm. Oh and Trump caused it too, and in turn the reason why Mexico had an earthquake is because they're not paying for the wall and illegals are still crossing.
I think I've got all the crazy shit I've seen in the last week in there.

Ah good ol'WAPO. Read this one and enjoy yourself.
You're doing a great job of showing why people should vote Trump 2020. Keep being unhinged, it's killing the left.
You mean where the Ukrainian government actively aided, interfered, and worked hand-in-hand with the DNC and Hillary Clinton? All of which is illegal.
How about Russians?
