This is like the argument that is made by some in the free software community that if you're going to criticize something, you should go code it the way you want it. It is more deflective than productive. I would like Slashdot to post interesting things. I would not like them to post the same things they've posted umpteen times over the past three months with the same discussions and same outcomes. It is pointless to have the same discussion ad infinitum and I do not feel that it is wrong to express a critical view saying so.
It wouldn't be so bad if we hadn't already had plenty of articles over the past few months on the exact same subject, each of which hovers close to or goes beyond the 1,000 comment mark. All that is going to happen is "MUH SOJINY" "MUH SANDREE" "MUH THERFUCKERS" "HITLER DID NOTHING WRONG" "Hi, I'd like to have a level-headed reasonable discu-" "SHUT UP, SHITLORD!"
This is not even worth grabbing popcorn for at this point. Sigh.
They had plenty of time to upgrade to IP3.14 (colloquially known as "Internet Protocol Pie") in which the subnetting is determined by ternary ellipses.
Just kidding. They use a late 80s anti-piracy decoder wheel and some silly putty.
While we're on the subject, why not invent something useful such as a windshield-projected HUD interface for the phone with voice interface capability? It seems like that would allow the use of texts while driving and keep all eyes facing the road.
It's useless to learn COBOL or any other old language for job purposes because you have to have YEARS OF EXPERIENCE to get the jobs in the first place, plus experience with other non-COBOL things. Here's an excerpt from a current dice.com COBOL job:
Essential Skills:
- 6+ years COBOL, JCL, CICS, DB2, and SQL experience
- 6+ years Syncsort experience
- Excellent communication skills
Let me know when COBOL classes start teaching JCL, CICS, and DB2.
That knife cuts both ways, and a plethora of evidence exists to support the fact that oppression against white males not only exists but is societally accepted and even encouraged. Feminist slogans such as "the radical notion that women are people" are mostly just rallying cries of bigots in practice.
How do we learn about the world? We observe it using our senses. When we observe feminists being far worse than that which they claim to want to cure, we learn that feminists are not good people. If you have a problem with that, fix the feminists that act like assholes to everyone and that think they do no wrong. If not, feel free to continue hiding behind feminist self-justification myths like "straw feminists."
What I'm observing is that every time someone tries to use games as "an effective platform to point out blah blah blah" they rightfully get their asses handed to them by people who don't have such a damaged world view of perpetual offense and victimhood.
The "social justice" crowd's solution is to punish the entire class for the behavior of that tiny group of individuals. Are you attempting to justify this sort of lumping together an unrelated majority under a broad category and attacking them as a group?
In a CIVIL courtroom. In criminal court the standard is "beyond a reasonable doubt" and since we are talking about rape or death threats we are talking about a criminal action.
While not explicitly the definition, a "trusted person" is by nature a person who can break your personal security in some form. Trust implies giving up the security of the sanitized public facade required by society at large and revealing information about yourself. Trust can be broken, too: if you tell someone you don't love your husband and that person tells your husband, that's a perfect example both of how trust is vulnerability and how trust opens additional ways to break your privacy and access your secrets. Defaulting to trust is defaulting to vulnerability.
There is ample evidence that she committed false flags here. Every time Zoe has been "doxxed" the information posted about her has been completely false (especially phone numbers: one "dox" had Hawaii area codes, the other was for some sort of shop in a state her "Zoe tracker" on her website doesn't show she's ever been to.) The "explicit photos" you reference were nude photos she was paid for by a couple of small professional porn sites; they were never private photos and she was compensated for allowing them to be taken.
When "men in the industry" can obtain payment for claiming victimhood, people will stop. As it stands now, Zoe and Anita both have masterfully separated thousands of feminists and sympathizers from their dollar bills by exploiting facts of basic human psychology. Men can't do it, though, because men are still treated as disposable beings in Western society today, while women are put on pedestals and their lives are valued higher than those of men. The business capabilities of Zoe and Anita are clearly superior. Anita has $150K from a Kickstarter plus ongoing donations to her "nonprofit" and Zoe has over $2,500/mo regular income via Patreon.
Every troll flare-up adds publicity and thus adds to the monthly amount being given to them to "fight" them. The trolls are just one step removed from literally handing these women money and they don't even realize it. This is their real victory against the trolls that no one is talking about. Trolls want them to be broke and gone, yet all of their anger has the opposite effect.
I, for one, envy their financial success, overall cleverness, and skillful navigation of the minefield of human psychology. 4chan continues to call them out on their perceived idiocy while they have become independently wealthy in less than three years' time and have almost no risk of the money ever being taken away from them. Well played, ladies, well played.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but that's a myth borne out of people being unable to use a search engine properly. What's funny is that Grayson himself lied about having written anything about it: http://inagist.com/all/5004497...

Sure, he didn't write a full-blown review, so he's not technically telling a lie, but he DID give her game preferential treatment in an article he wrote about Steam games being greenlit and there is ample evidence (pictures and video) that Grayson and Quinn were spending private time together prior to that article. I'll let the readers be the judge of whether or not Grayson's choice of her game as cover art was influenced by their relationship.
This sounds like an argument of the form "if the KKK protests against it, it must be right." That's no different than "people disagree with me, therefore my cause is the good one." It is logical fallacy.

Here we go again. This topic is becoming horribly redundant.

Aim a Class III laser at the camera. Problem solved. Don't like your camera blowing up? Don't aim it at my bedroom window.
Minority Report, anyone?
Interestingly, this setup is exactly how BitTorrent copyright protection companies find IP addresses to send settlement demands to.

SJWs are a type of parrot. They mimic things they hear but there is no depth beyond mimicry.

I didn't "carry on." Perhaps you've attributed statements to the wrong person in your fervor of dismissal.
