unfortunately i did not, didn't even know it was going on until the news started popping up about the huge fight

i didnt know it was full of commies

we're doing better than cali, at least there's another side here

It's bike capital of the US. Of course it's full of lefties

and our police actually do things BERKLEY

LAPD did a pretty gud job with the gang problem

theres alot less shooting

not in this recent case, but the last time antifa started doing shit downtown that they were explicitly told not to do, the police showed up and smacked them down a peg

*relatively

but yeah i see quite a few of the, i forget if it's "in my america" or "in our america" flags, a handful of BLM bumper stickers, and one or two antifa stickers around

I live in SoCal so my campus is full of uber liberals

one of the faculty has a antifa flag in his office

I live in portland too, and I see those flags around everywhere. I've always thought it was odd that none of them mentioned 'freedom' as one of the virtues they stood for

@JDM_WAAAT how do you get Mee6 to do roles?

yeah tbh i'm pretty glad i dropped out of college before any of this shit started happening

I have it on my server but I don't see that plugin

yeahh there are soo many of those flags

The history department is right above the "revolutionary/social study" department

me and my buds have to check for people before saying anything racy

good for you for dropping out of college, btw. that system shouldn't be funded, in my opinion

yeah sometimes my gf tells me to stop when i'm memeing out loud

what you mean by memeing

Ironically, growing up in Alabama and living a while outside of it, I ended up hating living in "white areas" of liberal areas of Midwest/Northeast most because to liberal racism. It felt uncomfortable not to see as many black, Asian or Hispanic people as I was used to growing up.

DUDE i feel the same way

i grew up in a hispanic neighborhood

being around white people feels weird

like yesterday at the bus stop i said something about obama turning the friggin frogs gay

Obama has been attempting to end the PEPE bloodline with his gay bomb

i grew up in a very white neighborhood but now that i'm living on my own i've moved to a significantly less white neighborhood

I left the south for the first time in a long time, and definitely noticed just how many white people were everywhere, and that was in a very urban environment

It's unsettling to go to the store and back and see only white people.

The main difference there was that there was a very clear line separating the black part of town from the rest whereas where I'm from it's much more of a patchwork quilt of different communities with blurry lines

wow racist

i think there's maybe 3 white families in my building, there's a pretty big black majority here

Its kinda weird the most active people in this server are the plebs

...Think about it

the patrons just wanted to join the server to show off their brightly colored names! D:

I have the time to talk because I'm not using my time being a productive member of society and earning money

tbh I didn't even want to join this server... I was auto-added to it and didn't feel like leaving

Same Schedrevka

and I just learned that's what my brightly colored name means

lol

your bright name is oppressing us poor folk

I'm sorry... shall I take my privilege elsewhere? xD

no don't we'll get lonely

No, just hate yourself forever

We demand reparations

haha

lmao

#greenguilt

I only give tim $2/mo

I must be the cheapest patron

nah i'm sure there's tons of $2 and $1

Aren't the greens a minority here ? Should we consider them the 1% or the oppressed minority ?

lol

nah they are the wealthy elite

truly the 1%

Help help, im being oppress by neon green

OCCUPY GREEN TIERS

damnit... now that I know the more money I give the greener my name gets, I might have to give more

SO THIS WAS HIS PLAN

you know <:commie:463087263153258506> this is sounding a bit like <:commie:463087263153258506> some sort of <:commie:463087263153258506> working-class <:commie:463087263153258506> revolution 🤔

Tim you crafty SOB

BIFURCATE THE MASSES

But at the top tier, you become yellow mudblood

i dont even know what Bifurcate means but YES lets do it

Mmm, you say mudblood, I say radioactive

or fish bait, lol

Checks out

wish there was native functionality to make a one-time donation on patreon, my hunch is that there would be more patrons that way

pretty sure Tim got paypal

yeah on his website but i think it was a monthly subscription

i was looking for ways to make a one time donation but had to hack it by subbing to the $100 patreon tier and cancelling after the charge went through.

ooh

I guess streamlabs then

yeah, it would be nice if patreon made that a feature

ah didn't know about streamlabs, thanks

I wish mad max didnt popularized bdsm outfits as appropriate post-apocalypse clothes

lol, what are appropriate post-apocalyptic clothes then?

palm leaves

I guess decent clothes are impossible in the post-apocalypse world.. somehow, people forget how to create clothes after few thousand years of doing so

well in an apocalypse society degenerates and what is the most degenerate outfit?

fursuits.

^

beanie

So this will probably be fashion in the apocalypse

on second thought, bdsm works too

Fur suit is more protective

just keep the furry away

you'll get overheated

what if we burn the sky like in matrix ?

The fursuit makes it so that when you're forced to kill someone to take their food that you won't feel any guilt though

@JDM_WAAAT I gotta ask.... what do you drive?

2016 focus ST lol

had a 2013 fost

loved it

This is Australia 🔫

Does it include gifted objects or just cash?

Just cash apparently

this is england 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🍴🍴🍴🍴

https://www.theage.com.au/national/what-our-kids-pocket-money-says-about-the-pay-gap-20180704-p4zpdj.html

Neither I nor my brother get allowance

There’s the article for anyone who wants to contract a disease

bringing the average down I see

My birthday/Christmas gift growing up was that I was allowed to buy a PS2.

⛏🔨🗡this england 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

lol

Hmm. I grew up with 3 sisters. Guess who mowed the lawn and chopped firewood. Of course boys are gonna get more allowance

Okay. This line is actually kinda upsetting: "In year 7, 15 per cent of girls could not name either their mother’s or father’s jobs.
In comparison, only 6 per cent of boys did not know. Girls in year 11 still stood at 9 per cent."

Hmm 🤔

damn where was my $13?

Wow..how entitled.. I never had pocket money.

hell where was my $9.60? i got a dollar a week lmao

But that's normal in the east europe I guess

My dad has had like 6 jobs in the past two years so at this point I've lost track

My allowance went to pay for our internet

The age is a treasure trove of pathetic

It’s amazing

Here’s another

I got decent pay, but thats because i did chores like putting in new flooring and bolting down/tarring new tin roofing

damn those are hardcore chores, i just did stuff like mowing the lawn and walking the dog

r/politics is cancer

baby boys make more money than baby girls through accidental consumption of nickels. change my mind.

Yeah, my parents would give me cash for some real actual work, not house chores.. The idea of getting money every week from parents just because they are my parents is pretty alien to me.

Same

Bolting down roofing is so fun. Being up on a roof as a 14 year old with no harness and an impact driver is exhilarating.

I never had an allowance, but I didn't really do any work so it didn't matter

damn. when i was 14 i couldnt stop touching my weewee long enough to climb up on a roof

'course, that was the year we got internet...

haha

Lol. Renovating old houses was more fun than touching le dingaling

even when i did get internet in '96 it was dial up so i rarely saw any vag. screen usually stopped loading after the boobs

well yeah, i mean when we upgraded to useable internet. i never had the patience for dial-up

Ugh, I remember trying to download roms on dial up

plus my parents made a lot of use of the home phone

I saw that The Age article on my FB feed earlier kek

Yeah, first years of internet for me wasn't porn at all. Impossible. I was happy I could paly Ultima and don't exceed my limits. Which, iirc was about 500mb

Dunno why, but dial up used to have data limits here

Which is more surprising when ADSL came out, no data limits at all.

Its crazy, i can download any old rom i want now in like half a second, and ive got crappy wifi by todays standards. Kids these days have it so good. Too bad they're all being turned into commies at public school

it seems like the younger generation is rebelling

That's the problem with instant gratification

surprise surprise

Yep

hurray for rebellious teenagers

y-yaaay...

They are punishing kids for having best friends now. My buddies kid got a 5 minute timeout in kindergarten for refusing to not have a best friend.

Tell the young'uns they should be mavericks, not rebels. Decide what you like and what you don't. Don't automatically assume it's all bad

I dont like hearing the word maverick anymore. Reminds me of those Paul brothers

generally rebelliousness comes first, and then kids grow into having their own opinions

Big cringe

row row fight da kindergarten teacher

Can't say "row, row." That implies work. And work is privilege

Gosh darn bourgeoisie working class oppressing us upper middle class proletariat.

/s

which channel we post twitter stupid ?

shitposting'

well this is interesting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8EF07AiI-I

DIS IZ A WAAAGH

wow not only 2 hours ago were people talking about furries XD, but I digress how is everyone here tonight

Mildly annoyed with the amount of fireworks in my neighborhood

also, there is always time to talk about furries

huh im out in mariposa on vacation so I don't have that issue lol

always

I'm presuming you are one?

....no

*eye darts side to side*

rofl

im here cause I love tim pool he's honestly my favorite news source he's simple he's solid

tbh he'd never be the same if he was in a professional studio

gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy

Yeah, Tim is great guy

tim is the next evolution in journalism when ever we get of this shit show cycle hopefully

Tim is an anomaly, very few journalist, let alone independent ones, are as unbias as him.

>used to have hate-love relationship with Tim
Loved his work, hated his opinions cus I was much further from the center back when I found him hehe

Pretty sure his work helped me get from the bad influences that were pulling more to the extremes

Well, guess I hated his work at times when it didn't fit my narrative

how can you have a narrative as an individual

I think we were all in a position where we couldve gone off the deepend, but lucky enough to not get dragged in

define narrative

I wasn't individual back then..I was pretty partisan

the group opinion was my opinion

maybe narrative isn't the best word, but you get my drift don't you

AGENCY

holy fuck that took me a while to remember

agency is the capacity of individuals to act independently and to make their own free choices. By contrast, structure is those factors of influence (such as social class, religion, gender, ethnicity, ability, customs, etc.) that determine or limit an agent and his or her decisions.

worldview

yes basically, i had no agency of my own, literally sheeple

to be fair, i wouldve been an sjw by now if it werent for 4chan

i notice all the indoctrination technique used by my school

Well I would probably still be a libertarian socialist if it wasn't for sargon

yea he's been pretty good influence as well

I think I actually found him because he called out someone I watched

sargon is a little bit up his own ass but the people he is criticizing is much worst, so he gets a pass.

not perfect by all means, but he was very moderate and sane voice in the mess I was in

Is it safe to say that if it werent for gamer gate many of us wouldnt be here?

Like i wouldnt have founded Tim if it werent for Sargon, and i wouldnt have found Sargon if it werent for the gamergate thing

I had no clue what gamergate was back then

...Did y'all live in the same place or something growing up? I thought it was always pretty prevalent that people didn't quite understand society correctly. Or maybe it's from accidentally moving from the boonies to higher than expected suburbia as kid (then out of region for college), on my side.

I was forced to learn when every gaming publication, podcast, and my coworkers all universally agreed that gamers are evil and harass women.

^

I just wanted to play video games 😦

all of a sudden im seeing a plethora of news article calling the games that i love 'a shit'

I knew only basic of goobergate and what was going on but didn't care much since I underestimated how bad it was at first

Well I am like 17 and barely touch video games so I never ended up caring about gamergate at all

Be glad you didnt experience it, although it was enlightening, its was also incredibly stupid

Thinking of it, I was pretty insulated from the whole ordeal at first, because I was never much into social media so only heard about it from the original /v/ threads and stuff before mods banned it

gamergate resulted in me and a majority of 4channer beginning to question the media

because young me assumed that the media is always right

When you've been called a racist your whole life just because of where you grew up, you get pretty inured to this stuff.

GG achieved its goal of instituting ethics policies at game journo sites but certainly did not achieve the secondary goal of changing the minds of those within the industry away from the ideas they bandwagoned on to.

they doubled down over the next years

hard

It doesn't help that basically every major US game developer is in either Seattle or somewhere in California

I think Bethesda and Ubisoft is on the East Coast.

Depends on the studios themselves. Publishers own developers but they are separate entities.

its hard to setup a studio in middle america, very limited labor pool

Much of the talent is relocated anyway.

It is true though--plus it is hard to convince people to move to a place where there aren't other jobs to take when you're laid off after every project.

But yeah, point was you have a bunch of weak beta developers who agree with whatever they're told and mostly live in Commiefornia or Lenin Statue City.

Oh right that Lenin Statue

i find it funny because the statue is privately owned

Communism is pretty rampant there, they even elected someone from the "Socialist Alternative" party to the city council

If its okay to punch nazi because we fought a war against them, it should also be okay to punch commies because we fought them for much longer

Commies were worse in any metric but they weren't as picky about what kind of people to kill, they get pass I guess ?

Commies are worst by accident

They didn't intended to kill so many peope

Thats a lie

That's the joke

Welp

Woooosh

Lol

Basically, they wanted to do good so it's okay. We can try next time.

Well when you gotta feed everyone... but you only have food for half... it is the only logical conclusion

"It wasn't real communism"

those pesky right wingers hijacked the revolution - actual take from tankies

twitter is magical place

ive actually become more solidified in my ideology than i was maybe 5 years ago. but i was apolitical all my life. which is to say im not any more arrogent (couldent be any more arrogent) but ive thought about the picture of the world a lot more in recent years and have ideas now where i once just thought having ideas ment you were wrong to begin with

Twitter blue check marks are the most honest people out there what do you mean?

Holy shit I think I found a pic of Tim without his hat on 4chan

Is it ok if I post it

He looks like elon musk

I've seen him without beanie on the stream the picture is probably from.

I'll be honest, I think it's kinda rude to post it. If you really want, you can find it. There is no point in posting it here.

Ok <:3

I think its harder to find a picture of Tim smiling

(not screen capture)

oh he was so cute last stream when he was smiling
