I mostly agree, but I must say that the writing is uneven enough that the show does not get a complete pass from me. There are too many episodes that just go for the lazy stereotype joke for that.
On the other hand, the episodes that take the characters seriously often have some fine comedy moments.
So, flawed? Yes. Nerd blackface? Not quite, even though it treads dangerously close to that line too often.
I didn't hear of any government officials putting guns to the heads of investment bankers to package up bad loans and sell them as AAA securities. Got any cites for that?
Yes, because me advising to do something, which leaves the agency to act upon it with you, is totally the same as threatening to kill you, which leaves you with no agency at all.
Really, the mouthbreathing stupidity on display is shocking. With friends like these, Sarkeesian's critics may as well give up.
Yes, completely warranted. The piece of shit that apologises for rape and death threats would improve the human race by committing suicide. Now, since you seem to lack completely in empathy and self-reflection, I just know this will just whizz over your empty head, but so be it.
And there is a big difference between advising suicide and actually threatening death and murder, but again, seeing as that you are a victim-blaming piece of shit rape apologist, I don't think the distinction is clear to you; the lack of brain cells may have something to do with this.
It would also prevent neanderthal cavemen like you from screaming out their battle cry 'political correctness'.
Aw, who am I kidding? You guys won't shut up until every woman is back to barefoot and pregnant. Good thing that won't happen, so we'll just have to wait until you die out.
the injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere
That's not the winning argument you think it is. Even across the Atlantic I know enough of US Constitutional history and law to know that this is in fact a driver for expanding Federal power. The prime example? Fourteenth Amendment.
I agree with mrex here: you show an abominably bad understanding of US history.
However, one shortcoming (at least in version 204, which is old already) is that it couldn't always gracefully deal with the conflicting dependencies you may find in some initscript combinations. I've seen situations in my first trials of systemd where systemd crapped out on a circular dependency, and because that meant a target became unavailable, all other services that would have come up on that target failed too.
I now run 208 on my trial systems, and that works a lot better. The only thing I am currently missing from my old setup is wildcard substitution in automount maps. Since I haven't configured systemd automount unit files, this still gets handled by autofs, and things work just fine.
Apache stores all its logs and configuration, as well as much of its data in text files. It has one function and one function only, to reply to HTTP requests.
So I take it you want to take out mod_rewrite, mod_cgi and mod_php too? Because in your stated opinion, rewriting requests and running interpreters are not in Apache's remit.
You speak of what you do not know. Have you never seen a SysV system stop dead during boot because the syslog daemon came up but hung? I have. Have you never had to contend with a system only getting its network shares mounted half the time because of a race condition in startup between rpcbind and the network? I have.
The problem is that you SysV defenders set an impossible high bar for quality for systemd, whilst ignoring the very real problems that can and do crop up on SysV init.
I have no use cases right now that require systemd. I can continue using SysV for quite some time. But I have run into shortcomings of SysV, and the shortcomings systemd has are definitely not any worse. The advantages of sane dependencies, on-demand service startup and service monitoring far outweigh those.
Let's not overstate this. The account given by Bingo is a good one, and on the facts it shows two law enforcement officers just doing their job: gathering background information, and they're doing it in a way to minimise the hassle for the ordinary member of public they're interviewing. Bingo mentions no powerplays beyond them identifying themselves as LEOs.
And doing the research how Silk Road grew out of the early BitCoin scene (or if it even did) is a legitimate avenue of inquiry.
I am not a fan of the bullies that populate far too many police forces, so this is a welcome change of pace.
Now, if you were honest, you'd apply the same standard to SysV init. If that doesn't start syslog, guess what, you'll have no logs either.
The Unix way of things? That has always been the pragmatic way: adopt what works for most cases, worry about the details later. It gave rise to an entire movement of people who hated it for that, see the Unix Haters Handbook for examples. Unix is not a static monolithic system, complaining about systemd as 'against Unix philosophy' is merely the UHH in another form: pining for systems that history and technological development have surpassed.
The reaseon Venezia perceives the discussion to be heated is rather simple if you see the earlier article linked in this story. If your opposition to systemd comes down to a hate-fuelled rant against the developers, you shouldn't be surprised if you get heated reactions.
Of course, there's a possibility that it's the other way around: faced with more women playing games, 'gamers' shift the goalposts so that their self-defined boys club remains free of cooties.
Since I am not even asserting what you are saying I am in your second sentence ("Europeans brag..."), I am not even going to dignify this with a rebuttal. You can fuck your strawman for all I care.

Right, so the banks, of their own free will, package up bad loans and sell them as AAA securities, and it's the government's fault.
I give up, you're in incorrigible libertard.
You forgot to mention Al Gore, Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi.

See here, in all its glory, the mindset of the rapist: "She asked for it and she got it".

TL;DR: FOAD.
Oh fuck off you Neanderthal.
It's basic fucking human decency to not threaten people with rape and death. If you can't take that, then go take a walk out of a high window, please.
Speak for yourself. I don't agree with idiot libertards. If they tell me the sun is shining, I go outside to check.
And no, I'm not going to discuss this with you. I've seen your posts, you're one of the most dogmatic of the lot, almost as bad as roman_mir.
It would also prevent neanderthal cavemen like you from screaming out their battle cry 'political correctness'.
Aw, who am I kidding? You guys won't shut up until every woman is back to barefoot and pregnant. Good thing that won't happen, so we'll just have to wait until you die out.
All true. But they could have avoided all that by using the neutral 'they/their'. That has a pedigree dating back to the 14th century.
That's not the winning argument you think it is. Even across the Atlantic I know enough of US Constitutional history and law to know that this is in fact a driver for expanding Federal power. The prime example? Fourteenth Amendment.

It already does that.

And if you do leave the house, cover yourself up to protect you from all the raping animals out there.
Seriously, why don't you fuck off to Tehran or Riyad? You'd be perfectly at home there.
Now, if you were honest, you'd apply the same standard to SysV init. If that doesn't start syslog, guess what, you'll have no logs either.

How cooperative would you be if you get called asshole?
Maybe the point is to point out how stupid it is to concentrate advertising and journalism on a very vocal minority?
Of course, there's a possibility that it's the other way around: faced with more women playing games, 'gamers' shift the goalposts so that their self-defined boys club remains free of cooties.
Here's your 'strawman'.
