This was hilarious. A leftie breadtuber used A LOT of Gamergate research to bash on Brianna Wu, and talk about how she's a bad person and whatnot, just because Wu turned her rhetoric ever so slightly away from full blown woke insanity.
They validate EVERYTHING Gamergate found on her, while still claiming GG was a harassment campaign. Gamergate discovered she was a fraud a full decade before you got your panties in a knot, but somehow when they did it, it was wrong...
It's a 2 hour long shit show, I didn't watch it till the end either, but it's hilarious to see the mental dissonance. "Gamergate was bad, but this thing they found on her, and this Breitbart article, I've realized that they were true".
The ultimate video/documentary on the original PS3 failures.
If you own one, or know someone who owns one, this might be important to watch.

Still funny.
Imagine being the person that legitimately thinks that the extremist Islamic regime, that funded multiple terrorist organizations, doesn't lie.
I just.... sigh... It's my fault tbh. When I talk to people, I generally assume everyone involved is on my level of just average 100 IQ. Every once in a while, I'll see someone who I'll even think is way smarter than me, but maybe they lack a specific context or niche information. Honestly, even when I call someone stupid, I do actually think they're average IQ. And I usually blame ideology, misinterpretation of information, or general ignorance of information, for the big disagreements.
My mistake is that I forget 50% of humanity is below average IQ, by definition. Two figures IQ is a real thing. And I should actually take that possibility into consideration.
A new height in antisemite stupidity: Iran was definitely not making a nuke, because Iran said they don't want nukes.
Antisemites are an one of a kind breed... of stupid.
>Islam and Muslims openly state out loud that they want to conquer the world
Antisemite: Muslims are peaceful, they don't care about America
>small piece of poorly worded phrase, in some ancient book that nobody actually cares about, that nobody but them ever cite or talk about
Antisemite: IT'S THE JEWS! THEY WANT TO DESTROY YOU!!!! IT SAYS IT RIGHT HERE!!!
I wonder if we might need to start building and using freemium internet browsers, if we really want to have online privacy.
If you look at something like Firefox, it generally has a pro-privacy stance, but at the same time, they take massive donations from Google, to make their search engine the default. They literally can't survive without the biggest threat to online privacy. So why the hell are people trusting Mozilla here, when Mozilla is literally throwing any beginner user to the wolves with this move? What, doesn't your grandma also have a right to her data privacy? Just because someone doesn't know technology well enough to change a search engine, it doesn't make it right for Mozilla to essentially profit from their ignorance.
And this does not even get into the issue that we ultimately don't know what Mozilla does with some of your data, like bookmarks that you can sync with their server. If they're cash strapped, why wouldn't they make some extra money by secretly giving that away?
A freemium model might help a browser sustain itself without being dependent on donations from big tech companies that have ulterior motives and goals.
Gacha gaming has unfortunately shown that the 80-20 rule is strong. You can have 80% of the people using a product for free, while 20% are more than able and willing to whale like crazy and sustain the developer of the product.
It doesn't need to be as exploitative as the average gacha game, but what if a similar model could be made to work for other software? A crazy good browser that gets it's money from selling themes? People are perfectly willing to spend money for game cosmetics, you think someone wouldn't spend money for a nice browser theme?
It's a crazy idea, an insane one even. But is it any crazier than expecting the people who take money from the companies that threaten your privacy, to protect your privacy? Isn't that a conflict of interest? I don't even know why I didn't think about this before (the conflict of interest thing).
Romanians have a children's limerick that you use when someone insults you to basically say back at them that they're projecting.
Cine zice, ăla este,
Ca măgarul din poveste,
Și măgarul a murit,
Și tu l-ai înlocuit!
(He who says it, is it,
Like the donkey in the story,
And the donkey died,
And you replaced him!)
Haven't thought about this in many years. There's quite a bit of wisdom in this little poem.
>entertainment media has unrealistic expectations of women
Feminists really took projection to a whole new level with this one. With more and more articles coming out about how women can't find someone to marry because their requirements are to high, it really shows how ridiculous women's expectations of men were all along.
They added the "lava chicken" Minecraft Movie song into the game... Someone needs to die for this.
