posting something to annoy people is the core of trolling, I just think annoying people until they start caring is cheap

if those people would just go back in time and make sure they kicked their mother in the stomach so they would be aborted, we wouldnt be in this mess

and yes, that was text loss

i don't care, just giving my opinion but if that's caring

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

http://thehill.com/opinion/campaign/399412-journalists-please-dont-leave-its-time-to-fix-twitter

now do they think so much of themselves they think they can 'fix' internet ?

Whatever they have to say to let them put one foot in front of the other

"Assuming the company gets a better handle on what civility looks like, Twitter could start rewarding good behavior."

AYYYYY

Are we going the china way ?

how are twitter gona reward good behavior

Think about who we're talking about, we're going Hogwarts when it got new management

a checkmark for good behaviour 😉

people mock the checkmarks, the only good behavior token they have atm

Oooh, apparently blue checkmark to real people who behave nicely is the reweard

We have the "verified checkmark"

And not getting banned

litterally

the checkmarks are a slur

Because we made it so

And they gave us the fuel

Its always some checkmark saying stupid shit.

it used to be, a idea so stupid only an intelectual could have come up with it, now its an idea so stupid only a checkmark could have rewritten an article he read on another site for it

Either some checkmark, or some nobody with 4 digit followers

WTF, reading the next article that pops up under the Twitter one... people are seriously wanting to rename Austin

To?

rename it to autism

to teach people with similar plans a lesson

Works, the most blue area of Texas

That's the funny part: They're not even recommending a new name, just wanting to change it

Sounds like progressive

This is old, therefore it must be changed

... "Austin’s namesake, Stephen F. Austin — also referred to as the "father of Texas" — opposed efforts by Mexico to abolish slavery in the Tejas province, saying freed slaves would become “vagabonds, a nuisance and a menace,” the newspaper noted."

He wasnt wrong

And well, you know, the far left and erasing history

Reminds me of the wiki on Robert E. Lee: "Lee also expressed his “willingness that blacks should be educated, and ... that it would be better for the blacks and for the whites.” Lee forthrightly opposed allowing blacks to vote: “My own opinion is that, at this time, they [black Southerners] cannot vote intelligently, and that giving them the [vote] would lead to a great deal of demagogism, and lead to embarrassments in various ways.”"

Dem or repub?

?

Was Robert a democrat or a republican?

Not really either. He was apolitical before the war, and wouldn't really be allowed to participate afterwards until he was pardoned.

Fair

Generally, his aim was more to stop radical action afterwards: Gets blacks educated and in good economic standing before giving voting rights; educate Northerner and Southerners together

In general, I'd guess he'd be more Dem at the time

haha

so fist bumping is now sexual harrassment

wew boy..

Tim's new place looks breddy suite

mhmm

Oh man, watching Marcus defend himself is heartbreaking

the video he is thanking supporters or someone recorded him during one of those inquisitions?

Where he's thanking his supporters. The one Tim included in his new main channel video

yea i saw it

and holy shit he can sing..

better than what i could do >_>

I haven't seen him sing. I just read the story yesterday, and Tim's video is the first I've seen him even speak

go to his yt channel

hold on lemme link

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWg3BddHgQQ

oh I read about that earlier today... I can't stand that bs

well what do you expect..

;___________;

they made an all encompassing catch 22 system that doesn't even meet civil court standards for statement of facts and then make essentially totalitarian rulings that can affect people's lives just like that..

I'd be Marcus' friend

like the other kid that liked knifes and was bit socially awkward (don't remember if he was autistic but something like that) was under investigation for months , even prohibited from going to class because someone reported him for being weird and possible school shooter or what..

That bitch in the office who reported him is missing out

lol that other bitch that claimed he was getting too close to her and was groping her should be reported for making a false statement

gotta make them accountable to making false statements..

and he couldn't defend himself since he doesn't understand the issue at hand for social behavior

Lying to the police is a crime. Why isn't lying during Title IX investigations? a Title IX violation LITERALLY ANYWHERE ELSE constitutes a crime

So falsely reporting a crime... should be a crime... no matter where

his mom, on the other hand, was like WTF you were sitting behind him, how could he get near you..

and also the "inappropriate fist bumping"

hahaha

I tried to look up what exactly that Title IX is but .. I'm afraid I'm still not sure

was he touching you without your permision, did he touch you anywhere else, did he stalk you?

no, then stop calling it inappropriate :V

title ix is essentially a system in place to report sexual harrassment and assault

essentially anything involving gender stuff

now the issue is, for allegations, the standard of proof is set to "is it possible"

instead of "beyond a reasonable doubt"

Title IX is the Department of Education's attempt to enforce the 14th Amendment on college campuses.

so the problem lies in here where you and the other person goes to a cafetaria, other person claims you groped her...

It's not just gender, it's also race and supposed to be disability too. Any kind of unequal treatment or behavior.

title ix is the most fucked up shit one can come up with

you have to prove you could not have possibly groped her

:V

so basically kangaroo court

Yep

more like an inquisition

where they assume guilty already and defending yourself proves you are guilty, and not defending proves you know you are guilty

😄

The standard of evidence is "Preponderance of the Evidence". Basically if there's a 51% chance that it could have happened, it happened. As opposed to beyond a reasonable doubt, where it almost certainly did happen, even if you could think of a scenario that means it didn't.

51% is a joke

it can be, did you take the same hallway?

how the fuck did something like that pass in the 'land of the free'

yes?

then you raped her at the hallway
