  1. What EA CEO is talking about is streaming games and per-play micro-fees. Nope. Not interested. Next.

  2. "I wish someone would stuff Trump feet first through a woodchipper"

    Many of us do wish this, but we will have to wait at least 4 years before there is a real chance.

  3. Re:Under Trump, hate speech is encouraged! on Twitter Says It's Cracking Down on Hate Speech (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    Now that Trump has been elected, we enter a new era where white men now have license to say whatever insulting, sexist, and racist things they want.

    Could you kindly tell me where I can get this license? Because I recently get a ticket for insulting without license and the fine was steep.

  4. Does that mean that they are kidnapping, raping, robbing, and murdering on the high seas?

    Insofar as software licenses, they are allegedly doing exactly that.

    Hey, all of this is fine because it comes from right-thinking people, but referring to someone with the wrong gender pronoun is a crime against humanity.

    Then they wonder why/how Trump got elected.

    As usual, reading comprehension is entirely abandoned in favor of partisan hackery. Twitter was caught red-handed applying filters to people they ideologically disagree with while leaving blatant abuse from ideologically like-minded individuals unaddressed. This isn't about individuals deciding they want to create filters that apply to their own feed, it is about Twitter deciding to apply filters to specific individuals and forcing this filter on everyone else.

    You don't have the right to pretty much anything on twitter, a private service offered for free use. They can decide on their policy for the use of their service.

    This is because our laws are behind times. Twitter is a modern equivalent to a public meeting space. Just like you couldn't enforce "Democrats only" washroom in your private restaurant, it shouldn't be legal to censor on social media based on political views.

    I am.

    Feel-free to hate yourself, but at least do it for the right reasons - because you are an idiot. You have no control over your race, and your race on the whole, despite what SJWs will get you to believe, isn't any more racists than Hispanic, Asian, Black, or Arab.

  9. The new era of censorship on Twitter Says It's Cracking Down on Hate Speech (usatoday.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    So the technocrats didn't like the outcome of the past election and are now determined to ensure it won't happen again. Lets not pretend this has anything to do with hate speech.

    The only thing that would push me to vote for a despicable candidate like Trump if the other side is attempting censorship.

    "Reality has a well-known liberal bias".

    Not this past election.

  11. Idiots who think a naive sound bite is a valid substitute for sane trade policy and economic reality. A trade war with China would do no such thing. In fact it would almost certainly result in increased unemployment and significantly increased prices on a wide variety of goods.

    All of the above is absolutely true, however out of damaging trade war US will be less financially hurt than China.

    As with a Cold War anecdote "Nobody wants nuclear war, but US not want it more than USSR".

    In this information age and with easy access to the web, this kind of book banning is a futile exercise to the point of stupidity.

    "surveyed by Motherboard " is all I needed to hear. This is through-and-through FUD. To best of my knowledge Trump is rather anti-media, and all big players that would benefit from NN repeal are also happen to be media.

    I pretty much agree with the above. SJW are authoritarian and censorious, they are about as much progressive as a Tea Party "Get your government hands off my Medicare" member is a fiscal conservative.

    I so close to voting for Hillary. If only someone had called Trump Hitler just two or three hundred more times I would have been right there.

    To turn this on you, clearly electoral system isn't rigged. That is, if Clinton could rig the elections, do you have any doubt that she would? So if we were demonstrably wrong with this, what else you are not getting?

    As a fellow libertarian-leaning individual, you are doing intellectual disservice to yourself by intentionally creating echo chamber of like-minded people. Thing is, we are not likely to object to mutual agreed views. So there isn't true marketplace for ideas when you central-plan demand.

    100% of Sinijs agreed with the above post as the only valid opinion on this subject.

    The resulting much-more conservative the rest of US will have zero problems tariff-ing them into the ground. This is assuming that every business would stay in Cali instead of, for example, moving to NY.

    Can it be done fairly and with so much transparency that folks wouldn't confuse it with censorship? It's worth trying.

    Strongly disagree. Such system has to fail open, instead due to intrinsic properties it will fail closed, resulting in censorship.
    To put it other way, FB hiring a bunch of "fact checkers" in SV will result in censorship.

    If Texas didn't secede after Obama got elected, I am sure a bunch of spoiled silicon valley plutocrats won't either. They should buy more electric cars or whatever is far-left equivalent to guns&ammo.

    Hoaxes were always there.

    Trump won because Hillary lost. She lost it because she mistakenly took SJW outrage for actually what people think. Turns out, there was/is silent majority and they don't care one bit about SJW issues but do care about corruption, warmongering, foundation profiteering, and DNC machine rigging.
