    Gender And Ethnic Studies is an artificial degree, that doesn't have any real world applications.

    Well, if you happen to also have the right reproductive organs, skin color, and sexuality you can use it to get hired as a "diversity officer" in Silicon Valley.

    But I graduated with a Master's in bitching about white males. Why won't anyone hire me?!?

  12. How do we get the right to prosecute a foreign national doing things in a foreign country that are protected by our own first amendment? Really don't understand this.

    Having a military force that's 5x larger than the next-nearest country probably helps.

  13. Re:Julian Assange was right to not to go to Sweden on Justice Department Is Preparing To Prosecute WikiLeaks Founder Julian Assange (wsj.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    So this particular conspiracy theory was right all along.

    It's not a conspiracy theory if the only people who think it's *not* true are idiots like AmiJoJo.

    Anyone who thinks the UK was spending millions of pounds a year surveilling Assnage around the clock just to return him for questioning on some vague sexual assault case in Sweden were deluded morons to begin with. It was pretty obvious to anyone with half a brain that the intent all along was to extradite him to the U.S., and that the whole Sweden case was just a honeypot operation. They just wanted to get him on a plane before he could find asylum in some country that isn't a U.S. lapdog. And if it weren't for Ecuador having an embassy in London, he'd already be rotting in a U.S. prison (or worse, being held indefinitely in Guantanamo).

    Wait, you mean the UK wasn't spending millions of pounds a year to surveil him around the clock just to return him to Sweden to answer questions about some vague sexual assault case that felt about as authentic as an episode of reality TV????

  15. Re:Not the stupidest idea on Remote Workers Can Get a Cushy Apartment, Free Office Space, and $10K If They Move To Tulsa (nextgov.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It's just a PR stunt. If you read the article, you'll see they only have 20 "slots" available for this program. That's not a serious effort, it's just a PR stunt designed to grab headlines (and it seems to have worked). If this were a serious program, they would be budgeting for hundreds, or even thousands, of workers to participate, not 20.

    Name one right wing movie that is actually, objectively, good... I'll wait...

    Well, by the standards of the modern left, pretty much all movies made by a white male are now verboten. So, almost every English-speaking movie ever made?

  24. I've seen Polygon articles with less pretentious virtue-signalling. And that's saying something.
