At least I assume it's the same person. It looks like it's a silly guy with multiple online personalities all under his real name, but kept separate so he can be a jackass on Slashdot and still run for public office.
What issues? I looked at Zoe Quinn's game, and it's piss poor.
So because Zoe's game is poor, she must have slept with everyone who reviewed it? Or is it that you just don't like it, but someone else might?
As far as I'm concerned, Quinn and Sarkeesian are just professional trolls: they make outrageous claims and statements to attract attention, and they translate that into speaking engagements and other personal benefits.
Zoe's outrageous claim was that her ex was lying to make her look bad. That doesn't seem so outrageous. She didn't call for attention. It was the MRAs like you that gave her attention then claimed she deserved it. Much like a rapist saying she was asking for it.
A second thing I find offensive about Sarkeesian is that she presumes to speak for women, minorities, and homosexuals in general and that she pretends to have our interests at heart, and that she denies even the right of members of those groups to make their own choices that differ from hers.
Yes, that's why I talked primarily about Zoe, because the insane like you can't get past the events that happened later that aren't related to the facts. You hate Sarkeesian so much that Zoe must be guilty by association. You'd have been a good hunter of innocent people under McCarthy, but here, you just look like a sexist jackass.
Neo-Marxists and critical theorists didn't start of rationally and then move on to telling wild stories as rhetorical tool. In different words, your interpretation of their motivations and understanding is divorced from reality. I suggest you read up on the link I provided.
I read it. That you assert feminists follow the same pattern isn't supported in your link. And you are asserting that if someone does anything similar to your assertion, that it proves the facts don't support them. That's a silly logical fallacy. You are so focused on winning the argument and playing rhetorical games that you are ignoring reality.
So the rounding up of people of the Japanese race and throwing them in concentration camps during WWII wasn't based on race? Good to know. And the "No Blacks" signs weren't based on race either.
I'm not assuming anything. I'm stating reality. That you hate reality doesn't change it.
But the keyspace isn't limited to my bookshelf, but to all books ever printed in all editions, as I could get any one of those tomorrow for my key. It's an infininte keyspace, with a limited lookup table.
Apparently nobody has ever seen snow or ice. In Alaska, when the snow falls in October, some of it doesn't melt until spring. But as it starts melting, it turns black and muddy. Dust and such from 6 months starts melting to the top as the snow/ice above melts. When exposed, the dark particles heat faster, melting down rough texture. This makes for more pits, shadows and such that makes it look darker. Nothing brightens up the melting ice like a fresh coat of snow.
Inflation being tied to money in the hands of the poor is one of the Great Lies told by conservatives. Inflation is in no way tied to the amount of money in the hands of the poor. Inflation is the product of monetary policy. That the monetary policy is designed to target the poor (and not in a good way) is part of the conservative conspiracy.
The government spending billions on welfare won't cause inflation. It's that simple.Inflation is unrelated to government spending, though government debt is another target in monetary policy, so they would appear linked to someone who doesn't know how it worked.
I didn't see any sarcasm. The guy didn't state whether he owned land or rented. Based on the attitude, I'd hope he owns it and it's paid off.
So, he'd have a clear title, issued by the government, and defended by the govenrment, and as a condition of buying that land he freely bought, he agreed to pay taxes on it. If he didn't like it, he didn't have to claim that piece of land, and he'd have no burden. So he freely entered into a contract with the government where in exchange for them recognizing his claim to that land, he will pay them a portion of the value of that land.
Now he has the land, he wants to break the contract and get everything for free. And you think that's fair and right?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supermajority You are incorrectly assuming "majority" to mean "simple majority". But if you take "majority" to mean "majority (of any kind, including supermajorities) then you are 100% wrong, and the person you are responding to is 100% right.
Why do you assume the worst in others? Why not assume they are right, when the words allow them to be?
Somalia is such a rotten place due to European colonialism followed by socialism.
Just because dictators love calling their party "Democratic People's Republic" or "Socialist party" doesn't mean it is. Yes, the military dictatorship called itself "socialist party" but it was never socialist. That was never tried. And the fact that you have no idea of the basic government or economic system there speaks for itself.
Of course, Somalia still has taxes and government, it simply doesn't have a national government within the arbitrary borders drawn by Europeans.
Yeah, it has warlords and theft. Though this is in a thread about taxes being theft, so that may be appropriate.
So you rent a small place? And they are taxing the owner's wood? Why does that bother you? That they are taking your labor in cutting it down as the tax?
There's no free land left where you can plant a flag and declare your own independent nation, not even in Somalia.
You can plant your flag anywhere. Even Somalia. The issue is that if the area you can defend is 10 square feet in a back alley in Somalia, it won't be considered a nation by the UN. That's never been the case. The first 10 people in the US couldn't have declared themselves to be an independent nation. They first had to have enough people to defend the area. If you bought a large army and were the largest warlord in Somalia, then you would be able to plant a flag and be independent. Military coups have happened pretty much just like that.
There hasn't been open land like you describe for thousands of years. Even when England claimed Singapore, an uninhabited island at the time aside from migratory fishermen and such, Malaysia and China instantly claimed it when someone was interested. England defended the claim and held it until they surrendered it to Japan, who showed up with more guns, and England never took it back. It followed the path to independence after the Japanese relinquished the claim at the hands of the American military.
What you are wanting never really existed. If you could get there to claim it, someone else had already claimed it in almost every case. Or, as happened with many small uninhabited pacific islands, the moment you claim it, someone else asserts a claim, so any way you cut it, you have to be able to defend it to have sovereignty. And even those established for a long time require a military to defend it, or someone else would claim it.
Though, if you buy land in the middle of nowhere Alaska, there'll be no tax on it, so you are "sovereign" in that if you can live off the land, it's likely nobody would ever bother you. That's about as close to sovereign that you can get in this day and age.
You made the conscious and deliberate choice to not move out of Canada. So you agreed to the taxation. When the government shows up to make you honor your part of the contract, you object. Good for you. But that doesn't change your responsibilities. If you don't like it. Move. You can't opt out of police and roads and such to refuse taxes.
I thought it was:
1. [A] breaks up with lying jerk.
2. Lying jerk spreads lies in an attempt to destroy [A]'s career
3. Gamers hop on board slut shaming [A] over lies.
4. Anyone who looks at the facts or defends [A] is labeled an SJW and similarly attacked.
5. ???
6. Profit.
You are reading words out of context. The context was how to break something. Then suggesting that those who support it tag away is code for "go astroturf this, and make them look like idiots". Sure, they don't say it. They don't have to. But that doesn't mean that's not what it means.
And the proof to me that this is a mysoginist witch hunt is that it's personal against the women. Zoe is a whore who sleeps her way to the top. Sarkeesian is an evil man-hating feminist SJW. It's never about the issues. Everyone involved in the facts indicate Zoe never got a favorable review from the person she was supposedly sleeping with, and her jilted ex who made the whole thing up has changed his story a few times, as the lies were uncovered, yet is held up to the highest esteem by the people who hate Sarkeesian, who is not involved in the Zoe part at all.
Nobody has ever given a confirmed fact that impeaches Zoe. The rest is all lies. Take it back to the basics. What did Zoe do that earned her all that ire? Break up with a classless jerk for being a classless jerk? As far as I can tell, that's all that happened, and the MRAs who jump over every rape accusation with "where's the proof" took (false) slut shaming without any proof, and joined in on the slut shaming. Others hopped in and pointed out the "other side" were jerks. Yet nobody really looks at the start. Some jerk trying to destroy the career of his ex, because he was mad over being dumped. That's all this is about. Lies by a jilted ex. Nothing more. Why do you side with a lying jerk who has partially recanted some of his lies?
Do you have any facts that conflict with this description of events?
After a man went public about the emotional abuse and infidelity he had dealt with from his ex-girlfriend, it turned out that one of the men she had cheated with was a writer for Kotaku and had given her favorable coverage without disclosing their relationship.
Yoshi didn't claim there was a review.
"a writer for Kotaku [gave] her favorable coverage" So you are claiming that Yosho asserted there was coverage without a review, but Darinbob is wrong for assuming that coverage was a review.
As an independent observer I'm fucked off with the media labelling me as sexist for being a gamer,
If that's what you take from it, you are dumb or obtuse. Those in the industry are sexist. The treatment of Zoe is proof of that. If the genders were (semi) swapped in all this, where a male game maker was supposedly sleeping with a female journalist, would he be crucified by the male gamers? Or would he be given a high-5 and congratulated on his score?
What's hilarious is that the "gamer community" were the ones to issue death and rape threats, then deny it, despite ironclad proof otherwise. The only ones hurting the male gaming community were male gamers.
But the facts support the modern feminism. Women are paid less for the same work, by the statistics. And so many other of the statistics support the basics, rooted in fact, and proven empirically. But facts don't sway the True Believer MRAs, so to combat stupid, they had to move on to persuasive speech, because the facts don't work against the closed mind.
NAZI is a flawed english transliteration of NSDAP National Socialist German Workers' Party. A socialist workers party isn't a "bad thing" and most people didn't notice it was not a worker's party, nor socialist until it was too late. I have no idea what the UK party was like at the time, but I'd guess they were more like the theoretical ideals, not the "kill all Jews" party. But maybe they were.
The NAZI party was a German nationalist party, why would there be so many German nationalists in the UK?
Then pick a book that isn't English. "Whan that Aprill, with his shoures soote The droghte of March hath perced to the roote" or one that wouldn't be there if they did a Gutenberg match. When it's an all books ever written (like a translation of an Agatha Christie into Spanish I have laying around, or a variety of text books that weren't popular), then it'd be nearly impossible for someone to match it.
Or the words on a Magic The Gathering card.
The entropy is much higher than you'd think. They'd have to know specifically what you used to have a chance, and at that point, they'd essentially have your key anyway. It might be harder to find the edition. But then, http://www.amazon.com/Fundamen... so you can get the e-book whenever wherever you want. Bought, but not on your laptop, read online only, and that's a book with versions, so when they get into searching every textbook every printed, in all editions (including teacher editions), the entropy increases greatly.
Get creative. Get weird. Because they'll not know exactly how you got your key, the keyspace is effectively infinite, even if the keyspace is only 34 bit, if they have your generation algorithm.
There's a chance they'll x-rays shoes. What they won't do is x-ray all your clothes if they strip search you. So slip it behind the tag of your underwear. I pick that over the shirt because people are less likely to spend a long time staring at your underwear.
You could even slip one inside a band-aid (between the adhesive back and the sterile pad), which wouldn't get a lot of scrutiny, at most, pulled off to take a quick glance under. Or sewn inside your luggage or something in your luggage. Meybe hidden in plain sight, inside the camera in your luggage.
Micro SD, hidden inside the hollow luggage handle. Or, the thought I had was that you could slip in behind your underwear tag. They'd have to x-ray you, and all of your clothes while you were naked to find it. If you have more details on the search procedure and know that won't make it through, a band-aid with the SD card under it would make it past, so long as they don't take it off and x-ray it separately. But if they are going to that level, you'd only make it past if you slipped it into someone else's luggage. Make friends with the person next to you. Slip your SD into their carry-on, and meet them after for a drink, or give them a free ride, as you have your car parked at the airport, and they were planning on a $100 cab ride to their destination. Then ask them if they found your card in their luggage, it must have fallen in when you were playing with it on the plane.
Or post it separately.
If they start x-raying everyone for internal concealments, I'll be eating safely coated lead balls so they waste time waiting for me to poop lead balls. After all, who knows what could be inside.
Buy a laptop with an SD card slot. Put all files other than OS and some games on the SD card. Hide the SD card inside your luggage handle when passing through security. Or FedEx it to your destination. Encrypt if excessively paranoid. The stock SD card slot won't generate excessive interest, they won't even know to look for or expect it. If you are overly concerned, use a micro-SD card in an adapter, leave the adapter in your slot, but hide the micro card anywhere, slipped behind the tag in your underwear would survive a strip search.
If you don't have an SD card slot, take two mirrored HDs outbound, and send the used one back while installing the "spare" for the return trip.
Hiding the data is better than encryption. Encryption is easy to break if you have the person with the key in a locked room and a $5 wrench (well, 5 quid spanner, for the UK).0
