  1. Re:Malignant narcissist upset, news at 11. on Running For Congress, Brianna Wu Criticizes The FBI's GamerGate Report (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    apparently it is because you got it wrong. they found the threat to be serious enough to investigate but not credible enough to be actionable.

    let me explain the difference.

    If i report that doug has threatened to murder me, well murder is a serious crime and people who threaten it sometimes end up murdering those they threaten.

    so the police found the threat serious enough to investigate but when they found that doug is my neighbor's chicken, the threat of murder wasn't credible.

    because the threat wasn't credible they did not pursue prosecution.

    hope that helps show the difference between brianna crying wolf and that being serious enough for the FBI to investigate and her being batshit crazy and/or full of shit and justly the FBI deeming her maniacal rantings not credible.

    then neither is comcast internet a monopoly because you can get time warner instead.

    although they provide the same service options and charge the same exact price, they are technically not monopolies.

    i don't see what the difference is otherwise.

    if you are going to quote someone, it is standard to provide ellipses when it is a partial quote, then people know there is more to the quote than just the words you decided to cut.

    also the article is pretty infammitory, the facts are presented correctly and succinctly , but there is no pause for insensitive naming of sexual preferences.

    there is a whole thing about her transition, how she used to do a college comic as a man and then transitioned to a woman, and as a woman admitted that the college comics written by her as a man were in fact her.

    even the characters in her game are the same exact characters (she drew them for the comics) in the comic, same name, same style, same characters.

    i googled brianna wu college comic and found it

    makes a pretty clear cut case that she was a he.

    (sorry if i messed up the pronouns or was insensitive and such, it confuses me going back and forth between genders when describing someone.)

    Here's a tip. men also respond better when you take their concerns seriously

    My concerns:

    1) football

    2) bacon

    3) a warm place to shit

    4) internet porn

    I'm good, thanks. I don't need anyone to take my "concerns" seriously. Now excuse me because I have to get back to the Titans-Jaguars game. The commercial's about to end.

  10. "Of course, hardcore pirates aren't always easily encouraged to part with their cash, so Spotify needed an equivalent to the no-cost approach of many torrent sites. "
    this statement confuses me, if pirates are making money then why would an equivalent be a no-cost?

    the answer of course is because pirates don't make money, sharing content isn't about making money but having the content how they want it and usually for free.

    this is what fixed the issue when it happened to me on a laptop with win10.

    all other suggestions here did nothing, once i tried to reconnect to the wifi AP it would get a self assigned IP address.

    funny timing too because i had just upgraded my internet modem and was recreating my wifi AP so i spent some time verifying other devices did not have this problem (one of them was a win 7 desktop).
