That’s like saying we shouldn’t deal with neo-nazis who aren’t in power. They’re choosing to side with evil and thus deserve equal punishment. “Oh no they might feel bad about it” good they should feel bad. They should genuinely feel bad.

You are being lied to.

Gamergate never ended, it just went into hiding.

Wonder why.

I really like this take. I wish more people would do that instead of just ignoring the elephant in the room.

It doesn’t really matter how you frame it, the existence of a police force is always going to necessitate power dynamics. Every form of policing exists to subjugate the public, from medieval guards who protect the crown to the modern day police force which is run by fascist gangs. There is zero context where you can go to an authority and not have to deal with those dynamics.

That’s when you pull out the ACAB writing and have them proceed to do everything they can to not have to help you, just like real life.

It’s been over 3 years now and they haven’t fucked around, mostly because if they did it would have people asking questions like “why do we have to pay a private company for a public utility anyway?” Besides, doing so would have been a breach of contract and would have opened them up to getting sued. The plan quite literally said that a phone would be provided, it never specified the quality of the phone.

Fun fact that’s actually how I got my top-of-the-line phone for free. I went in for a new phone&plan and we negotiated a good plan that worked for me, one that came included with a phone. When it came time to close the deal they go into the back and get me a phone. It’s a crappy hand-me-down, so naturally I ask if they have any other options. There were two more options each one took them longer to come back from and each one being pretty much the same thing. I ask if they have anything better and they go back and grab an Iphone which I declined because I don’t fuck with apple. They take the phone, very quickly put it away, then walk right up to the rack, picked one of their best phones and handed it to me. I smiled and accepted.

Because they’re salespeople paid on commission, I was able to game the system to effectively rob the store of an expensive product and the most fucked up thing about that whole situation is that everyone involved still made more money off of me in the long term than if I walked. We really need nationalized communications utilities because the whole thing is just so ridiculous.

Kickstarter is infamous for being full of marketing tech bros who take your money and deliver nothing.

Indegogo is Kickstarter without any of the consumer protections. It’s not a matter of if you’ll get scammed, but by how much.

Well there goes another reliable source of evidence. I’m hoping that we don’t end up making everything into discord where people can flat out brag about how they’re abusing kids in their basement and then delete when law enforcement comes around (Yes I actually saw that happen)

Every single time I get called a tankie for having basic standards (like don’t be racist) it pushes me further and further to the left.

Do you condone the IDF?

In school you think trig is worthless and calculus is the big shit but in the real world it’s the other way around.
