    You're completely wrong. This is a front page story about a scam artist with a victim complex and a direct link to a Patreon account so retards can give him more money.

    So you're saying boys are being discriminated against

    Actually yes, this is exactly what this story is. Two siblings of opposite sexes now have unequal opportunities purely do to sex. Sorry little poor boys, your sister is more worthy than you. If you can show me anywhere where there is actual discrimination against girls, I'll concede the point, but I bet you that you can't find a single example.

    No, I've been around, but to keep calling some site an MRA site when it explicitly says that it is not is ridiculous.

    I went to their site, and the site itself disassociates itself from the MRA movement. When someone claims not to be associated with x ideology, we might consider taking them up on their word.

    I think it's time to stop calling these people "skeptics". They are science denialists, just like creationists. Skeptic would imply that they have found fault with the current science and attack that line of reasoning, but they don't. Instead, they have already come up with the conclusion that climate change is no issue and it is not caused my man, which goes against all current evidence.

    What a load of bullshit. How are women "discouraged" from anything like that? I take it women who are discouraged by simple words or competitiveness are too stupid, so who gives a shit? I wasn't encouraged when I was young. I actually had to jump through loops to get education in the US, and I paid more for it, and I still got my degree. Maybe women that are already born here should quit whining about being discouraged. You'll find it's mostly people without a degree in the field that whine about it. Maybe they should have taken a major in engineering instead of women's studies.

    It used to be those people had pensions. Maybe that would turn off people from accepting 401k instead of a pension. Plus, people took hits on that anyway. The bailout didn't help them.

  11. Re:HOWTO on How To Execute People In the 21st Century · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The problem is that too often the justice system makes mistakes. We know that innocent people have been executed, but let's say that was not the case. Let's look at your logic: they have killed, so they deserve to be killed. Eye for an eye, no? Then why not do it like Saudi Arabia? They recently blinded a man as punishment for an acid attack. Should the US then implement these kinds of punishments that they so often condemn? At the end of the day, the death penalty accomplished nothing and too often costs too much to society at large.

    I don't get why people keep bringing that old meme up. The year of the Linux desktop was a good while ago. I'm using Linux, on a desktop, right now, and I can use it just fine. There is nothing that's really missing. I even have games running on it. What more do you want? It does everything 99% of what people need to do. I really don't understand why people keep bitching that only 1% of the market uses this kind of system. It's all about free choice. If you want more people to use Linux on the desktop, just tell them about it. Already people are more than open to using libre alternatives to proprietary software, the only thing missing is just migrating from one OS to another, just to run the same programs. Do I think it could be better? Yes. Is it good enough now? Definitely.

  14. Re:Why don't they get it? on WA Bill Takes Aim at Boys' Dominance In Computer Classes · · Score: 1

    Men would be right to say that they are a minority at the very least. And I challenge you to find an MRA that actually thinks the world is run by women. I've always heard them complain about family court, suicide, criminal sentencing, and laws that are skewed in the favor of women. I tend to agree with many of their points even if I am not one of them. On the other hand, feminists still look at things like the SCUM manifesto and think it's just brilliant. We have women like Hilary Clinton claiming that women are the primary victims of war. All the infantrymen out there must be cursing their privilege right about now. To me, it seems like the delusional thinking you accuse MRAs of exhibiting is instead being done by feminists. And before you accuse me of being a privileged white male, let me assure you that I am probably privileged and male, but white I am not.

    Girls are only 50% of the gaming market if you count mobile games and facebook "games". No sizable amount of women out there are excited about video cards, bench marks, or even the latest console. They don't consume the software in the volume or number that boys do. As for girls being allowed in, they already are in most cases. Nobody is keeping them out. What these politicians are suggesting is that they provide more funding only of more girls are put in the programs. This is about encouraging female enrollment wile disincentivizing male enrollment, since women are worth money in classes, and boys are not. You think if there is only one vacancy left they are going to give it to the boy? Probably not.

    Anonymous isn't some kind of coordinated collective. Anyone can take on the name, and yes, in the years after the project chanology, this is what likely happened. The kind of things "Anonymous" used to get into was usually just defacing websites or posting flashing signs on an epilepsy forum. They've always been inexperienced kids that don't actually know anything about programming or security. So in a way, it was always about getting attention.

  20. Re:Its called capitalism folks on IEEE: New H-1B Bill Will "Help Destroy" US Tech Workforce · · Score: 2

    Taking out limitations would mean the guest workers could stay, change jobs, and tell their employer to fuck off. This isn't the case, so how can this be at all competitive. If you want to bring foreign labor in, then let them stay permanently instead of kicking them back out and sending that job and others with them. I came here to work and got to stay, and I don't get paid less or ask for less than my native-born counterparts. This is the right solution, letting companies have that much say over the worker is not. You free market fanatics always put your dogma over what is actually good for this country. Maybe you forgot that the government was supposed to work for the citizens, not for nebulous ideals.

    Sorry, I don't pay much attention to names of murderers, kind of like feeding trolls. Most of the shit the kid spouted was about hating everyone. He hated other men for having girls and he hated girls for being with other men. As for the MRA and PUA shit, he was part of a site about PUA hate, and not once did he mention anything relating to MRAs, which aren't about picking up women anyways. I'm betting him killing people had more to do with mental illness, for which his parents tried to treat him, than with misogyny. Or are you going to go on like Sarkeesian and say that the latest string of shootings happened because of "toxic masculinity" as well?
