    Check the date on that article. A week before the Telegraph article I linked.

    That Tab article is concealing the fact that the SU rejected his attempt to create a society. Of course FemSoc are happy to let him act within their rules - check their fucking rules out : https://drive.google.com/file/...

    To join FemSoc he'd have to "accept you have privilege over women"

    That's total bullshit anywhere, let alone in a Mens Society trying to help men and reduce suicide risks.

    Just how much of a fucking bigot are you to even think this is acceptable or represents equality?

    That's why it gets no coverage. No-one is falling for it

    I disagree. It's because the aGG movement (such that it is) is scared in rational discourse, knows they can't back up their stupidity with facts, relies on a false narrative and uses all of that to generate funds from misled people.

    Feels like a big con trick to me, and their refusal to engage in calm polite conversation speaks volumes.

    It's likely that very few people would have cared about Zoe Quinn, or Gamergate, were it not for the censorship and propaganda campaigns.

    Exactly. I don't give a shit about Zoe Quinn.

    The reality is that what that gamers and the game industry have been greatly wronged. Not only were they slandered and demonized for years by persons of questionable motives, but when they finally tried to correct this injustice they were basically carpet bombed by a gleeful media, psychopathic in its willingness to spread obvious bias and outrageous lies

    I give a shit about this. I am glad that the media have been called out, that this hasn't been allowed to pass without comment, and that the media haven't won.

    Even if reputable events like SXSW have to shut down panel discussions because stupid fuckwits are scared to have open honest debate about actual issues, instead of toeing the media line.

    I'd also accept threat notifications submitted to the FBI and deemed credible, as opposed to submitted to twitter and deemed fund-able.

    That one sentence is the most accurate succinct searing indictment of the self-proclaimed victims of GG I've ever read. Bravo.

    Well, I personally believe you. But I'm keeping a distinction between personal belief and the available evidence, and the evidence is that the rebels were claiming credit for shooting down aircraft at the time - including MH17.

    I think the attempt to blame Russia for INTENTIONALLY shooting down the plane is completely baseless, and fully manufactured.

    Yeah, it's curious seeing the Dutch politicians demand criminal charges - that aren't against the fuckwits flying civilian aircraft through a warzone in which multi-engine aircraft have recently been shot down.

    Since when does the US give SAM sites to random rebel groups? The US doesn't even give (and actively blocks attempts to give) even groups it supports MANPADs, let alone SAM sites.

    The BUK launcher isn't a SAM site. The US have been giving anti-air missiles to random rebel groups since the 80s, or haven't you heard about the Afghans using them to take down Russian Hind helicopters?

    False. Operating the Buk system is too complicated for "peaceful coal-miners" to have done it

    Luckily for the rebels, many of them have military experience in the Ukrainian army. Some may even have been trained on firing the BUK anti-aircraft system, given that Ukraine also has that.

    For an accusation of such gravity, you better have more solid citations than your own "pretty sure". Do you?

    Well, there's the Iranian one for a start..

    First of all, that was an honest mistake

    Interesting that you don't acknowledge that MH17 is almost certainly an honest mistake too.

    It was not Russia who shot down MH17, it was rebels from Ukraine which were armed by Russia

    I'm not sure that's certain. It may have been rebels using Russia supplied equipment, or there may have been Russians operating the equipment too.

    We'll probably never find out.

  17. I went hunting for a source that could tell me what polynomials and polynomial time are too.

    All these 'great description' comments are from people that have the CS/maths education to understand them.

  18. In Texas they're strobe lights too.

    I was pretty much in tears after driving through Dallas. After I calmed down and thought it through, it wasn't the 800 miles I'd already driven that day or the pain of dealing with roadworks in Dallas, it was the sensory overload caused by strobe lights on police cars.

    I could migrate to Texas - friends and jobs already there - but it's not worth the mental pain involved in driving at night.

    Sorry, I was discussing a civilised society. You're responding by quoting the law in the US.

    Seriously, stay in your fucking copmobile unless you have a reason to be "interacting" with the public.

    Really? Fuck that. I like having police officers on foot, amongst the community they're part of.

    That way there are fewer barriers, there's greater understanding and there's greater trust.

    Crime prevention is a bonus, or do you only ever want the police to turn up too late?

    Another thing to remember is that any time a citizen disobeys a policeman's order, violence becomes justified. The cop(s) should still try to limit it, but any consequences are the citizen's to bear: if one suffers, say, a heart-attack during a violent arrest â" remember the "I can't breathe" meme? â" it is not the cops' fault. They may (or may not) be breaking some police department regulation, but they are committing no crime...

    Fortunately in civilised nations that's not the case.

    I can refuse to obey a policeman's order, and that does not give them the right to assault me. I may or may not be breaking the law. If I am, they can arrest me. That still doesn't give them the right to assault me.

    Meanwhile the police killing someone through excessive use of force is a crime, whether they're arresting that person or not.

    The police should fucking behave, whatever the response of the public.

    A lot of people don't even have it that good. I acknowledge this. I also acknowledge that if provision of gig links up and down were trivial and cheap, we'd have them.
