You joke but lots of places in the city have coin slots on the bathroom doors. Then people wonder why there is a public urination problem. This type of solution just shows how poor the attitude towards homeless people has gotten.
Wait a second here So they comissioned a study where they asked about tweets to a group of people found the vast majority were nuetral and then declared anyway that gamers were about harassment? That's your proof? They never looked for say events or topics that we were discussing. Which seems far more relevant to what gamergate was about. They are even myopic about their own data in that article.
"But an analysis by Newsweek found that Twitter users tweeting the hashtag #GamerGate direct negative tweets at critics of the gaming world more than they do at the journalists whose coverage they supposedly want scrutinized." See how they conveniently ignore that many of the said critics of the gaming world ARE the game journalists being tweeted at.
Also lets not miss the most obvious point that is magicked away. That mere tweets to or about someone regardless of tone or content were considered harassment. By that standard everyone on twitter is a harasser and we should just shut it down.
That data actually kinda proves that we are not about harassment. Funny huh.
There were a number of cultural weapons that people perpetuating damaging and false stereotypes about gamers had already refined that were ready to go as soon as the first "Gamers are dead" article hit. Gamers were caught by surprise and thus the first combo in this culture war stuck. Gamers are now labeled as misogynistic on the actions of a tiny select few. A lot like how we were painted in the past as violent by a few school shooters owning a copy of some game. On top of that anyone who questions that label is also hit with it. Wu's outrage at neutral parties is more of a tactic than a belief in my opinion. It's a nice rhetorical trick that works for a little while to prevent the label applied to gamers from being unstuck. Problem is that people begin to question the labeling of neutrals and people who question the original smear. Then the whole thing starts to fall apart. That's why gamergate grew so large. It's why it's so big today. People don't have to rely on the "news" to find out what a hashtag really is. They can see for themselves. I hope they look long and hard.
Ding Ding Ding Both sides did stupid shit but GG's side was turned into social pariahs over the actions of people on their side. Why isn't that level of shared responsibility and social consequence applied to the other side of the argument if it is applied to GG? Why isn't it ok to classify GG by the most radical actions attributed to it but not AGG?
More ways to alienate ourselves from each other. More protection for our views. Another place to ignore people on the internet and wonder why we feel so lonely.
Mankind is already proficient at dividing ourselves. I predict this technology will only speed the separation even more. If people retreat into their own little conclaves they only get more radical and more insular. The longer we go on shielding ourselves from views we disagree with or running from the criticisms of our own deeply held beliefs, the more likely were are to revert to tribal tendencies and war.
Thanks Facebook.
I dont understand why there is such a focus on making coding a part of core education. It would seem to me if you are going to add stuff the primary education it should be something guaranteed to be useful to the most people. Why not make first aid and life saving a core subject instead. It seems more useful than coding would be and there would actually be a benefit to having everyone know how to do first aid.
You are a monster. You are what's wrong with the world. Foster kids don't have problems because they are genetically deficient. They have problems because they had shitty(or dead) parents, the system that is supposed to take care of them does a poor job and exposes them to even more abuse. To top it off they are made outcasts by their peers because they don't have a traditional family. You think they should just die off though huh?
That's how their defending this? It was only 300 calls? Why did it cost 20 million then? You can't thwart terrorism for less than 67,000 per call? Any way you slice it it still smells bad.
If there weren't artificial limits on the number of med school graduates that are allowed each year we would have enough doctors for them to take their time and they would be cheap enough that you wouldn't need insurance.
Plus how are you gonna trace the gun back to the individual printer? Most 3d printers don't have DRM. At least not in the parts the print. So yeah you'll have a long list of people who have 3d printers but you could only reasonably expect to be able to trace a gun back to a particular brand of printer beyond that you can not objectively say what printer printed it.
It proves that lacking sufficient motivation people don't gove a damed about your tests. Perform the test again but give a dollar for each "correct" answer and see if you get 30 percent again.
Faith is a disease, one that has caused more death and suffering than any other throughout human history.
Wrong. Atheism has it beat by miles and miles.
Riight, because soo many people are killed by athiests for insulting the flying spagetti monster. Or failing to convert to atheism. Or because the tenants of athiesm commanded them. Or because they though it would be a one way ticket to athiest paradise.
Any person can figure out alternate sources of morality given even a cursory amount of thought. Anyone who says they can imagine no other source of morality other than religeon (theirs) is an idiot or a troll.

Seriously. How many people would rob a liquor store if they didn't have to be there in person and there was no chance of being caught?
At cries of sour grapes it's good to ask. "but what if the grape ARE sour?"

Don't be shy, tell us how you really feel about it.
