4chan did more for disability acceptance than any woke circles shooting demands like they're holding someone hostage, because when I read Katawa Shoujo I thought "nice girls" and the stories weren't even about disabilities, but rather about people who have various disabilities for whatever reason
but whenever I see yet another dumbfuck "ackchyually, being Deaf means coming from an endangered culture :meru_ackchyually: and whenever you say 'curing deafness' you mean genociding people from this rich Culture" I want to reply with a link to rip and tear music except these retards won't even be able to hear it and my opinion of people with disabilities degrades to the point of "genocide is not optional"

Whitney Webb has been warning us for some years now that the game is pushing Palantir on us and she explicitly said they'll sell it to leftists for their "muh right wing extreemists" and to right wingers saying it'll be the way to deport immigrants

End game is we're all fucked. She's even said that the clique deciding and setting up this shit ain't even that big, maybe a couple of hundred people.

@apropos my only conclusion is that, the energy shortage was actually the goal, nothing else makes sense

@hazlin @apropos yeah this is in line with the great reset thing they wanted to do
make gas and jet fuel expensive as hell so it kills global travel, then force you into a 15 minute city with glorified golf carts

@noyoushutthefuckupdad Move to New Hampshire and at least you won't have to pay car insurance.

Insurance is a total scam, and I'm required by law to pay for it :AngeryCat:

@gabriel I do not take anyone who combines psychology with their own personal politics seriously. That's a dangerous combination as it just leads you to believe that anyone who disagrees with you is mentally ill.

I don't vote but I went to a big orange rally in Kenosha in 2020 for the hell of it ... I remember looking around at all these people, a lot from Chicago or Milwaukee, and they gave of a vibe of, "well ... I guess this is the guy..." .. but now that I look back at the whole 10 years, I feel like a lot of the political narrative was directed in such a manner to turn people against each other.

Most people aren't hard left or right, but the people in the middle; the independents, anarchos, libertarians, volunteerists .. and right now even if they're all against going to war for Israel, none of them are going to stand with each other. It's amazingly constructed when you look at it.

@nanook My company actually pulled out of Europe. I want to say almost a decade ago when the GDPR and some other legislation predating that were passed. We decided to call it quits in Europe. It's an over regulated impoverished shit hole where any efficiency and improvements in operating their are dwarfed by the costs. It was roughly the same cost for us to ship goods into Europe via expedited shipping as it was to operate a warehouse in Europe and ship from within. The delivery time and cost ended up being about the same. The question became why bother when the amount of regulation we had to comply with kept on increasing. It eventually became not-worth-it. The consequences are Europeans are now at a disadvantage and can not obtain the hardware and accessories that work with GNU/Linux properly quite as easily. The one positive about operating from within Europe is users don't have to deal with customs. Now they do. They did this to themselves.

>I remember Lunduke, who bleeps out swears, went out of his way to quote that one exactly.

It seems like he wants to go by FCC radio logic where the seven words are bad but slurs are fine.

>Ugh, how the fuck does DeVault have any friends?

One of life's greatest mysteries. I'm surprise that he has a following given that he was infamous on programming calculator forums for hijacking communities and causing pointless drama, and not just related to politics or religion either. He threaten to leave the Omnimaga forums (the community he contributed to the most in his early years) unless a MLP thread that he didn't have to participate in was locked (this was back when the brony phenomenon was starting to take off), and the staff locked the thread only because he contributed so much to the forum that they couldn't let him go. He only got banned from the forum after deleting their IRC channel and a thread on someone else's calculator language because he couldn't win an argument against someone. Not only that, but he apparently was also known for posting porn links when nobody asked (no archives unfortunately, but was claimed by users of said forums).

If people would just remove their political bias for one moment and see how he acted on those forums, I'm pretty sure people would think less highly of him.
