Re:Afrostream is shutting down on Friday September 22, 2017 @05:03AM (#15310419)
Dang. I think I asked a sensible question. What is the purpose of an etnocentric streaming service? Do you genuinely think this is a good idea? Poltiical affiliation aside this is just a horrible idea.

I guess you are in your good right to ban me, having a free market and all. Its just kind of perplexing to be honest. You add this makeshift appendum to the rules, yet I still see you enforce only one side.

Also I thought that worldstar was the number one afro video site.

Kind of strange that there is countless Nasheeds (islamic chants) calling to war against infidels etc. on youtube. But stuff like this gets deleted.

Well just stop being a nazi who questions everything. Problem solved! Nazis like you don't belong on the internet.

I have done that countless of times and I still get The John Oliver Show queued up after the most unrelated videos like videos about retro computing etc.
Re:How YouTube perfected the feed on Thursday August 31, 2017 @01:23AM (#15138331)
Perfected the feed? its worse than ever. And the new reskin of youtube is also the most lazy hack job I ever saw from Alphabet, its quirky even in chrome.

Why would you even reply? This is so out of context, and its a petty attempt at being snarky. I think its funny that /pol/ is better at engaging soberly in a political debate than a forum such as Y-combinator. At least add something more, an argument or you know just an actual REPLY.
Re:Why We Terminated Daily Stormer on Thursday August 17, 2017 @04:51AM (#15034912)
/pol/ is not one person and it is in no way an organized movement. Some obviously sympathizes, other are edgelords. /pol/ seems like one of the last places where you can actually have a conversation with political adversaries without risking getting banned / shadowbanned or downvoted to obvlivion for having violated some snowflake safespace.

Not untill you are the one getting censored, then its a slippery slope again, right?

The double standards you guys have. Just fuck my society up fam.

> They won't politely tolerate you. Deviants will be chastised, expelled/expatriated, jailed, or killed. Ignoring prudence (preservation of self and the society at-large) is perilous.

Except I never really seen a 'neonazi' saying "punch a communist" I never seen mass media encourage such behavior either.

Do you not realize that this is cyclic reinforcement of behavior? (Antifa says punch nazis, nazis punch back, antifa ups their game with HIV needles and guns, nazis up their game etc)

Both sides are disgusting, but the fact that the media covers up for the leftist violence makes me stand on the side of the so called "right wing extremists".

Cloudflare happily mirrors ISIS forums. The double standards, all because one person was killed by what looked like an inexperienced driver scared shitless by antifa goons.
Im kind of against all this censorship, even IF the video glorified "nahzis". The post war indoctrination has hurt our understanding of history more than anything. This censorship madness MUST come to an end sometime.
The coverage has certainly been very disproportionate with what was actually written in the paper. Also I have yet to see a news outlet objectively giving references to the COMPLETE memo.
> I couldn't get past the first few paragraphs of the memo

So you didn't read it? Because ... you were offended or because of practical reasons (like you are illiterate) ?

I don't think that the memo asked for "less diversity" just not forced diversity, at least not the way it is forced at google.

> , however Google rejects the idea that conservative views (that are compatible with Google's HR policies) are discouraged

I have a hard time believing that since they already take a hard stance against their conservative users. Also have you seen some of the tweets from the opposite forces at google? I don't think so...

Re:Note to Google Employees from CEO Sundar Pichai on Wednesday August 09, 2017 @06:44AM (#14967271)
Yup. This is the state of modern journalism. Its not a lie if you ommit something apparently. But its a dick move to fit this bullshit story into their agenda.
Re:Note to Google Employees from CEO Sundar Pichai on Wednesday August 09, 2017 @06:43AM (#14967267)
Are you really too lazy to do your own fact checking on a case to case basis instead of relying on these rediculus memes to keep yourself from reading something that might hurt your feel feels?
Re:Note to Google Employees from CEO Sundar Pichai on Wednesday August 09, 2017 @06:37AM (#14967240)
Why should a company do affirmative action based on race? Isn't that kind of racist?

I hope we go back to the days where an individuals merits had more to say in a recruitment process than their skin color.

Re:Note to Google Employees from CEO Sundar Pichai on Wednesday August 09, 2017 @06:35AM (#14967227)
Im curious, did you even read the thing? Your rage is out of proportion with what was actually written in the paper...
Re:Note to Google Employees from CEO Sundar Pichai on Wednesday August 09, 2017 @06:33AM (#14967213)
> we strongly support the right of Googlers to express themselves

By fireing them? Really?!

I see a lot of criticism from people who didn't read the memo. Most people just fall for the sensationalist headlines of "OMG GOOGLE RELEASED ANTI-WOMEN MEMO REEE".

The memo wasn't that bad. It tries to highlight some very real problems in this age of intersectional recruitment.

Re:Memo to Mark Zuckerberg: So You Want to Be President on Monday August 07, 2017 @03:49PM (#14950660)
I don't want Mark Zuckerberg to touch politics with a ten foot pole. But odds are that he wouldn't accomplish anything he couldn't do just as well with just lobbying. I'd rather have trump for 4 more years than this pasty creep.

Remind you that this guy was bragging about having access to private data of the very first users of "thefacebook". Referred to his first customers by the phrase "dumb fucks". Don't get much worse than that as a political candidate.

Re:Zoë Quinn on Surviving Gamergate and the Internet Trolls on Thursday August 03, 2017 @05:51PM (#14924243)
I think that Zoë Quinn and her ilk is just as bad, if not worse than the "trolls" she is dealing with. She is purposefully perpetuating this drama to stay relevant.

She never wants to enter a dialogue about some of the criticism against her, not even on an open panel where she is invited to answer questions about her movement and ideology.

Also the pressure she has managed to put on publishers is ruining artistic and expressive freedom in the industry. She has managed to get all AAA publishers to eventually streamline all their games to fit the same dull narrative of the intersectionalists ( ? ).

Also this article reads out more like an angstly teenage novel more than anything worthy of printing in a well established news outlet.

And to add to all this troll talk. It goes both ways! Forums for the so called "GamerGaters" are often raided by HER own followers, more often than not she is the aggressor as seen on the latest vidCon.

Im all for being mean towards Zuckerberg, that dumb fuck :^)

But to be honest this just seem like 12 year olds in a schoolyard. Both have been acting like this for a while now. I guess this is what billionaire dick measuring looks like.

And having played a little with RNN libaries during this summer I can say for sure that I am in no position to say who is right, but I don't count on them becomming sentient any time soon.

Re:Kerbal Space Program Acquired by Take-Two Interactive on Wednesday May 31, 2017 @03:45PM (#14455327)
Im actually hoping that they don't make a sequel but continue the great style of continuously giving back to the community.

My personal guess for the future is that Kerbals will take off as a franchise, maybe even a movie, who knows. Lets face it, kerbals are just frickin cute :-)

Taking the trafficking from Libya to whole new levels eh?
As someone who had weekly migrane seizures during most of my teen life I can say for a fact that cannabis helps.

Since I started smoking regularly I haven't really had a migraine seizure and the rare times I get one I just smoke a joint and I don't vommit from the pain at all, which has been a real problem for me as my teeth has very serious acid damage from all the vomiting I did as a teen (Seizure 1-3 times a week where it was so painful I couldn't help but vommit)
