  1. On the other hand, perhaps you are, if you're also black. [washingtonpost.com]

    And prison rape is almost entirely male-on-male crime.

    You see where this is going, don't you?

    This is your big citation:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... [wikipedia.org]

    Note found right at the top of that Wikipedia pate

    This article may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. The specific problem is: Seems to be copy/pasted from another site and is not in Wikipedia's style Please help improve this article if you can. (July 2015)

    It happens that the site the Wikipedia entry was copy/pasted from, is John Lott's website. John Lott is a discredited "gun researcher and advocate".

    Fact is, if you own a gun (and I do), you're about 15 times more likely to hurt yourself or a family member than you are to defend yourself or stop a crime. If you live in Florida, Texas or Georgia, that goes up to about 40 times more likely.

  3. Composition 101 on Khronos Delays Vulkan Graphics API To 2016 Release (phoronix.com) · · Score: 1

    This is the entire summary:

    The Khronos Group has announced that the Vulkan specification is complete and undergoing legal review and final polishing, but it means that Vulkan will not be published this year. Khronos reports that the Vulkan 1.0 specification will be published when the first conformant implementations are confirmed. Phoronix received some more details about the state of Vulkan in that there were a lot of changes since GDC and " the gating factor for release will be availability of product-quality implementations."

    With just six additional words, the submitter could have told us what Vulkan, Phoronix and Khronos Group are.

    Would it really have killed him?

    Paramount just released like 500 old movies on YouTube, and I would bet that others will take advantage of existing infrastructure instead of building their own streaming

    Unfortunately, watching movies in the living room on a big screen is not as pleasant an experience on YouTube as it is on Netflix.

    The fact is, that licensing those old movies is not really expensive. You could almost certainly license all 500 of those movies Paramount put on YouTube for the amount it takes to produce one episode of one Netflix original series.

    My favorite Netflix original, though, was "The Killing"

    I have to give that one another try. I watched the first episode when I was coming off a binge of some other detective shows and just didn't have the will.

  9. What's someone who is at most 15 years old doing driving a BMW?

    A "millennial" is someone who came of age around the year 2000, not who was born then.

    So, your basic 28-36 year old.

    Fuck you, Netflix. Don't waste your time and money on connected socks. Just give me back the back catalog of older movies you used to have. I mean, Sense8 and Jessica Jones are all fine and dandy, but occasionally I'd like to look at some old DiPalma film from the 1970s or film noir from the '50s. It can't cost much to license those old movies, so why not give them back?

You used to leave good posts on this board, but now you just tend to shit all over it with these baseless accusations, triggered by what? Someone that doesn't think rape should be a defacto part of every prison sentence? And you immediately align them with "rape of women should be legal" ideals?

    Fuck you PC cocksuckers.

    Just so you know, the "PC cocksuckers" you're talking to are "Men's Rights Activists" who don't think that rape of women should be against the law. They also hate political correctness, unless it's to decry the oppression of the White Male. And they blame "radical feminism" for the fact that nobody wants to date them.

    So, I'm with you. Fuck them PC cocksuckers.

    When women are raped, it is a tragedy. When men are raped, it is hilarious. 40 years of toxic feminism has brought us to this. Who among us can say that we wouldn't like this man to be raped in prison? We'd all cheer...sad, isn't it?

    I find it interesting that MRAs who clutch their pearls and head to their fainting couches at the very mention of prison rape don't seem to have much of a problem with black people being shot down in the street by police.

    The thing that really gets my goat is that he paid $2 million for that one-off Wu Tang Clan album and didn't just share it with the world.
