technically racism is already used incorrectly and really means xenophobic. but the left doesn't know what words mean or like to redefine them

Jesus christ

races and religions just overlap a whole lot

also

if you open your borders, all the people will become more and more xenophobic

It's just excuses to make them protected classes...

people look to blame outsiders for bad things that happen, regardless of the facts

sometimes they are right tho

when they run out of people that look different, they turn to hating nerds.

most people want a scapegoat

We should just camp out on the lefts yards

^

this *is* technically true

"No borders amigo"

i mean, they want all land to be publich land right?

Why did the "migrants" head straight for CA?

technically, most animals are xenophobic too
and for good reasons

Because of sanctuary.

mostly because CA will essentially treat them like citizens

Texas is pretty DADT honestly

California - We know why we suck; we just ignore it.

"Sure Diaz you can have my house"

they bring in loads of immigrants, because immigrants (especcially illegal ones) vote left

illegals can't vote yet

how does that get checked tho?

🤷

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voter_ID_laws_in_the_United_States

i just know that it sucks to live here in california

"May I see some ID"

Racist

"No ID required to vote at ballot box: California, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Wyoming, and Washington, D.C."

why is this even possible?

this makes 0 sense

Thank god I left maine

still stuck here in california

I'm in Virginia now

in PA, near the amish so I rarely see the libtards near pittsburgh

the couple big cities fuck the rest of the state up due to demographics

The Amish are quite bizarre, but they make good furniture.

demographics is destiny

lol

they love getting drunk amd blowing shit up at least @Phalynx

Really?

ya, lol. Few amish guys I worked with tried to turn an old tree stump into a pumpkin cannon while drunk for example... and it didn't survive their attempt to launch the pumpkin

Damn...

They don't use modern technology, but they seem to have fun in different ways.

I cant wait for the 2020 race

oh its going to be fun

bernie can't run as a democrat (as an independent) anymore since that ruling they had that made it so independents cannot run in the democrat primaries right?

they did?

Makes sense tbh

going to be a circus of clusterfucks on the democrat side

Although, does that mean he wouldn't be able to run as a Democratic Socialist

no thats different

That's what I thought

he just has to officially join and give in to the borg... i mean democrats

the borg?

I cant spell it

it was back during the court ruling that stated that the DNC stealing the primary from bernie was allowed because as a private organization they get to select their candidates with any method they want

But I know what he means lol

@Pyro from star trek, lol. Just fits so well with the mainstream neoliberal corporate elites

ah

@Pyro https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a61fPIgJfgs the memes are everywhere

Oh

Why did I think you were going to say

Bourgeoisie

Greetings everyone!
-_- I see familiar faces.

Hello

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFbQZU1iPSU

I don't.

I'm only in here because I throw money at Tim. Otherwise I lurk because there's often 20+ people typing at once and the conversation is moving so fast you can't do anything else if you want to keep up.

Any of yall play MTG

used to

not really. Played their little like xbox version of it

Hey, I have a doubt with one of the rules: 7. Do not contact the subject of Tim’s videos, under any circumstance.
I don't understand the part "the subjec of Tim's videos".

@SolidHalon it means do not harass people tim talks about

ooooohhhh

ok

aka don't act like a leftist and start a deplatforming harassment campaign

👍

no need to when they feed on their own anyway

^

I have a perfect oppurtunity to slam communism in this paper I'm writing

"Ufology, cryptozoology, or other similar fields, however, are often portrayed as “fake science” or pseudoscience, often lumped together with topics like pyramid schemes, chakras, and communism."

lmao

should I keep it that way

tf is "cyptozoology"

study of creatures like bigfoot

ah

Cryptozoology

Please explain

Ah

also probably not, too much bias where non was strictly needed.

yeah, I didn't think it would end well. Just thought it was nice

as fun as it might be, it also doesn't exactly fit either

not entirely sure how pyramid schemes fits either

I know it's not a science, I was using it as "theories/ideas that have been repeatedly shown to be false or don't work"

pyramid schemes work though. usually net the creator a lot of money

Yeah

just are not sustainable

alright, I see your point

communism technically can work, just not on large scale.

I'll change it to something else then

just thought I'd share it

entertaining, but leave it for the meme remix version

do you think it's appropriate then to replace communism with flat earth theory

Yes

that might be okay, i think you could find something stronger to fill it.

Because it is using incorrect science to prop it

I agree with grenade

something more people believe that most don't see as out right silly

But it is a good option if you cant find anything else

like palm reading

or detoxing

or astrology, I forgot about that

Detoxing?

yeah what

is that

is that like undoing doxxing

"stick these pads on the bottom of your feet and it will take out all the heavy metals and free radicals!"

Oh

yeah that will definitely work <:VeRiFiEd:463064374236413962>

I thought you meant like food detoxing or eating types of shit

that is part of a bigger topic but i forget the name

holistic?

wait.... what is wrong with heavy metal... although ya, fuck radicals and their freedom

I see what you mean though

detoxing is the tin foil hat version of hippies really

That kind of detoxing is like chiropractors to doctors

```When they came for the Jews, I did not speak out, for I am no Jew.
When they came for the communists, I did not speak out, for I am not a communist.
When they came for the Trade Unions, I did not speak out for I am not a member of one.
When they came for Catholics, I did not speak out because I am not a Catholic.
When they came for me, there was nobody left to speak.```

*flies away*

_acupuncture is a valid form of medical treatment_ <:VeRiFiEd:463064374236413962>

Sike

You forgot your blue checkmark with that statement

Holistic Medicine would be a good one and Astrology

How will anyone believe you

There ya go buddy

I think I'm actually going to cut that out because it doesn't help my point at all

I did give up all mass produced industrial foods at least, and soda

whatever, I got my daily slam on commies for the day

I've been trying really hard to cut out soda

I've gotten it down to a couple sodas a week rather than two a day

I usually just have one on Friday night magic

Just stop drinking it unless you go out for dinner, and then largely stop doing that

@Aperture Tech stuff like this got me to quit almost all sugar heavy stuff https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4728084/

After a couple weeks of not doing thing, you'll crave thing a lot less/won't crave it at all

basically just means that the more sugar you intake, the greater your resistance to it at the mitochondrial level and the greater your overall level of fatigue

essentially the more sugar you eat the more fatigued you will feel

@Misomania thanks

used to drink way to much coca cola myself, I really regret it

I did so for a couple years, then cut it out

no idea what it did to my body overall

I'll have pop if I go out for dinner or on special occasions

But I try to keep my intake down

they also use phospate based carbonation methods, which in the body leaches out calcium (a lot from your teeth as well) which you excrete in the form of calcium phosphate

weakening bones as well

That's fine, I have probably an excess of calcium in my diet

Here's a question

What do yall think about marketing to kids

What about it?

Highly circumstantial whether it is good or bad

i think that parents should grow a spin and learn to parent.

marketing that is kid friendly is fine, marketing made specifically to benefit from being shown to kids though is predatory

I was reading an article on G-Fuel marketing and a quote was "we are marketing to kids but in the end it's on the parents so we dont care to change it"

it's a bit like marketing hard liquer sales to appeal to alcoholics, and showing the ads in AA meetings

Sorry what is the kid equivalent to that exactly?

showing ads of sugar rich cereals in a kids cartoon

or marketing vape pens to kids

Are kids addicted to sugar, able to buy sugar and trying to cure themselves of their addiction?

https://www.foxnews.com/us/antifa-member-charged-in-assault-of-marine-reservists-near-we-the-people-rally-in-philadelphia

Nice

What a lovely face

if you don't like how something is marketed to kids, don't buy it for them. Then convince others to not buy it.

@Beemann enablers are still the same, and using a psychcologist to exploit a situation is the same regardless

I'm in agreement with you grenade

What's being exploited?

If your kid is able to buy something without you, you need to get that shit on lock down, or teach them how to spot deceptive practices.

Your target audience who doesn't make purchasing decisions?

to many parents though just buy what their kids want to shut them up because it's easier

That's the parents' fault

^

you should be teaching them how to make choices for themselves by the time they are starting to get financial freedoms, so around 15-16 they should be able to make some of those choices on their own.

I feel the same toward lootboxes as well

Like are you suggesting kids don't want sugary shit regardless?

I was always given the line "we dont have enough money"

who's money goes to lootboxes?

Or "dinner or a toy"

I learned quickly

if the person with the money does not care about their money being used on lootboxes, who is the victim exactly?

using psychcologists to boost sales though is scummy no matter what really

The child

I would say

how is the child a victim?

its not their money, they get what they want eventually.

and you are talking about all marketing PERIOD.

you know the colors used at restaurants and fast food is ones that science shows increases hunger response?

Introducing them to gambling at a youn g age

Yeah

teach your kid how to spot and handle gambling

Same with heat

this is a PERFECT time for that

And I agree

the child is still not a victim tho.

hard alcohol sales show that the top 10% make 90% of all purchases, so they tend to market toward those with impulse control issues and addictive personalities

it could be virtual money they gamble

infact to them it is virtual money

and what do you propose to do about that?

stop making games free to play?

add in directed marketing to that based on what the tech companies know of every person and how to exploit them and I'd say that almost all of marketing is going down a very dark path

oh it is.... but we gave that shit up willingly

Honestly? It's tough because ultimately do I have the right to dictate how someone runs their company when I played no part in creating it

thats why i stopped using facebook years ago.

even distrusted it when i was on it

southpark even had a great episode on it called 'fremium isn't free' iirc

turned out it was all the canadian devil

If i tell someone my name, and then they tell someone else my name, is it really my fault that 3rd person now knows my name? particularly if i never said they couldn't tell someone else?

but here's the thing, its a choice to buy microtransactions in a game

That's how they get around info collection

fremium games are basically how socialism works. the top 10% pay for the bottom 90% ability to use the service.

"Its public to see your friends"

the only thing you can use against companies is if they lie, either directly or through omission, of what they are doing with your data.

@Grenade123 are they blameless when they collected that info under the guise of a vague statement that stated they 'need access to contacts to function' or just outright lie and take it without asking? a lot of apps have been found to just copy your contacts without permission, or add that in a future update without notice

see above statements

but when it comes to things like EULAs? thats on you.

see facebook and them forcing opt-outs of new privacy raping 'features'

Eula?

yea if you accept you are basically fucked

End user licence agreement

But if you dont you cant use the service

u know that 100+ page crap that shows up whenever you redeem something on steam?

And thank you grenade

facebook led the way of adding new 'features' without communication, defaulted them to on and had them track you without consent or knowledge

if you don't accept it, you don't use the service....but you don't pay for the service so why do you have any right to use the service?

yes, and as my previous statements, you can use that against the company.

microsoft on updates resets tracking functions back to on randomly as well

the problem is not that they collect this stuff, its that they lie and/or don't tell you.

they ALL lie though, so are any of them blameless?

you can argue that things are too complicated or cumbersome to the point of unreasonable.

why do you still use them if you knows this now?

You're right but it would be nice if they did allow a "no" option to actually mean something and allow you to conti a to use

even discord added an artibitration clause recently to remove your rights to sue without notifying you directly

if you want to argue they need to give up the data they previously collected through lying, that's fine. you can do that, take up a civil lawsuit. thats why we have them

that clause will most likely not hold up in court.

Good luck winning though

not everything in a ToS is enforceable

for example, you can't say "by using this server, we can kill you"

it just has to be reasonably cost prohibitive to enforce your rights

I'm surprised they cant

they could put that in there, no court will adhere to it.

One could argue though why not

wait and the EU will allow that though
