How was he busted?
The feds say he payed a 16/17 year old girl for sex back in August
Arrested at a Taiwanese hotel and extradited to Houston this week
If he wasn't controversial no one would have cared
If you're a nobody MAYBE you'd get arrested coming back from Taiwan but they won't do that much effort over some JB
I've heard some of the details. It is rather sketchy. Supposedly he was hooked up on a dating website which was supposed to be only for adults. Of course, 16 is age of consent in Taiwan.
I think this just goes to show the Pence rule at all times. We're approaching a world where the men are going to be the ones careful about dating or sex. For their own protection.
Remember in the 50s when it was the women who'd play hard to get?
But if they start a witch hunt, even that might not be enough.
16 is also the age of consent for much of the US.
That makes it worse, then.
I must ask why he was on a dating site basically for sex. But that seems aside the point somehow.
So I just looked it up and the first source I found says that he was arrested for paying a 16 year old in Austin TX some time back, and was then arrested for it while in Taiwan. The age of consent in TX is 17.
That would make more sense.
I think the lesson here is not to do prostitution.
Still, it all seems rather suspect when you look into it a bit.
Would be hard to defend, however.

`But entry will now be based on a lottery โ and half the seats will be reserved for low-income, homeless and English-language-learning applicants.`
Just how many homeless middle schoolers do you think are going to a performing arts school?
Oh great now you can be racist against dogs too.

Lmao
A football team invested in esports and the fan stopped a match by throwing controllers on the pitch in protest.
https://twitter.com/i/moments/1044180680140312576
Thats..
an expensive protest
Throwing shit onto the field is stupid way to protest. If they are not happy about their team investing into esport they should just stop buying tickets to the games for a month or two.
But now club can make some money by selling second-hand controllers
On the performing arts school; the most qualified kids for performing arts come from trained backgrounds, usually they've done stuff privately at some point. My friends who got into the equivalent of a performing arts middle school were respectively an internationally-recognised traditional Irish dancer, an actress who had been in multiple main roles for theatre productions and TV background roles, and a guitarist who'd been having private lessons since he was about 5
In my university grade, out of the students I've met so far, I'm one of about 10% who don't have professional training, and that's because we learned through experience- I've performed live shows for six years and I've been in two musicals, for example
This is because the performing arts are fucking *hard* to make a career out of, you NEED quality
So logically a meritocratic approach makes sense
My university's entrance exam is ridiculously hard, I had to do three separate auditions to prove myself and I'm not *amazing* but I'm certainly not amateur
That's not because of elitism, it's because of the nature of the industry and the fact that performing arts are easy to do casually but highly technical to master- anyone can go to a karaoke bar, but then stick em in front of a few hundred people and tell them to give a performance worth twenty quid entry, and they probably can't
So seeing the audition process eliminated for the New Voices School is pretty fucking jarring; essentially you're going to be taking a bunch of vulnerable and young kids away from solid mainstream education, that will guarantee them core skills everyone requires for a backup job... and instead thrusting them into a very hit-and-miss, specialised, cutthroat industry
Without checking they're specialised, without checking they can keep up with the content
Do you know how many kids aren't serious about that stuff as a passion, but try it, and give up? Tons. I'm a vocalist, and I had about three guitar lessons before I realised I couldn't do it
Not even three, probably. Now, if I'd've joined a performing arts school for a guitar course? I'd've completely fucked myself. I don't know where I'd be now. Probably a very low-paid and sloggish job, hating life
So yeah, it's very absurd to me. It's horribly irresponsible
"Entry will be based on a lottery". Ridiculous. Imagine turning down the next Elvis because he was holding the wrong ticket, and choosing the next Blood On The Dance Floor instead
>author recieved death threats for describing bull terriers as "scary"
Yeah because its a pitbull. My mom would be one of those people that would give him death threats too. I mean how is this thing scary?
https://i.imgur.com/MWnQ7Gy.gifv
dogs are mostly only as cruel or dangerous as their owns have taught them to be
Nonsense. Dogs have been bred for certain character traits. They are dumb animals and can flip and do. If you have bred a dog to be a weapon you aren't going to bred the pussies.
You have clearly never met a pitbull not trained by a douche
You don't breed a weapon that you cannot control
I've not met a pitbull, they are illegal in the UK. MY brother had a Staffordshire bull terrier and it was a lovely dog but I would never leave it alone in a room with a small child.
wow
Yes, another thing we can't have in the UK
are you allowed German Shepherds?
yeah. I grow up with one.
She bit everyone but me apparently.
lmao
wow, you are allowed them but not pitbulls
Saw that story with the school getting rid of auditions. The *teacher* saying: โItโs not college. Nobody should have to audition. Honestly, I think itโs great,โ should have her license revoked
Staffies are pitbulls
>My brother had a Staffordshire bull terrier and it was a lovely dog but I would never leave it alone in a room with a small child.
Little rascals had one. Theie nature is to be motherly to the littile ones and to be defensive against those who gets in the way of them. So more or less a guard dog.
No idea if true.
finally
jfc
fired or resign?
shouldnt let him resign
or let him so the left can look crazy
i would never go and say pitbulls are bad dogs, or that they can't be cute
but genuinely the play most of them involve in instinctively is scarier then most other dogs (nipping and tagging at limbs as if to take you down), not that they are the only large breed that do this but more commonly so in my experience. If said play isn't kept in check, or they have abusive owner (eitherway owners fault, one is negligence other is malice) then yeah
its like
if it was legal to drive a tank to work would it be wrong to do so? No ofc not, but you'd have to take more care
^maybe extreme example, but just contending its a greater responsibility with any breed thats been bred to fight
Agreed Yvan, it's a really reckless attitude
Performing arts is niche
And I thought it was established dogs have genetic traits?
DEATH MERITOCRACY!!!
HAIL MEDIOCRACY!!
Can't find it now but I remember once I saw a tweet where the general gist was someone called job qualifications ableist discrimination against unintelligent people
Well, it is.
Idiocracy by way of political correctness when?
unintelligent people can't even work at a cash register.
People haven't seen people with sub 90IQ in their life it seems.
"Anonymous
We all know by now that a person called Coraline Ada Ehmke is behind this diversity/gender bullpoopy, so here is a little background about that person:
Ehmkeโs real (โDeadnameโ) name is Corey Dale Ehmke. At the beginning of the 90s he already ran several blogs about technology and esotericism. Here is an archive of his old livejournal: https://archive.fo/q0qKX Note the mention of his server Idolhands.com
What is hosted there? Wellโฆ https://archive.fo/NsPmk Ehmke probably called himself โReverend Doctor Corey Bantikโ and wrote there about โmodern Egyptian magicโ. Probably worked a lot with the cults of Crowley and similar esoterics. Active in the environment of Satanists (Not the kind that eats children, the โharmlessโ variant around LaVey).
None of this, of course, is directly related to the name Coraline Ada. Wouldnโt be the first time that people adopt a new identity and a new gender to darken their past.
In the same context is also โOpalgateโ, an earlier case where Ehmke wanted the maintainer of the Opal software removed from GitHub: https://archive.li/olSA1
Unfortunately it didnโt work at that time. An indication for a deeper personal problem with GitHub?
This is NOT a proof that Ehmke is controlled from higher sources but it makes this person seem even crazier than he already is."

okay linus
you say one thing and now you say something completely different
its either you are with or against it
pick one
tin-foil me says he was blackmailed or "encouraged" to take the CoC by way of his SJW daughter
actually that was brought up in another discord im in
his father and daughter is bluepilled
Yeah, she's like the head of some chapter of a socjus org in California or something isn't she?
She's well indoc'd
guess we found out why Linus gave up.
Remember, these are the same folks that tried to get false sexual assaul allegations on him
clearly he has failed at raising his daughter.
i feel like we are on the way to having a society in which there are literally men only camps, and women only camps. And procreation is through one camp raiding and raping all the others from the other camp.
wait what? is it true, that Ford said, that after the party she called a friend on her mobile phone to tell her?
even though the first mobile phone was sold 1984?
cant say, Ive not been following every minute thing but I did see an infographic either here or the Aydin Paladin discord saying that. The communities are so similar I have to make sure Im posting in the right one xD
Translation: Our retarded inbred allies shot down our jet.
And muh Israel reeeeee
I wonder if Russia starts to encourage some Muslims to bomb a bit in Israel...
Apparently they are giving Syria more missiles after this.
Talk about cucked. Giving the people who shot down your plane more missiles.
Russia??
Il-20 are suppose to be military command and control aircraft... how the f did they miss an F-16 and hit something with enough jammers to black out NYC?
Yes Russia is giving them more.
Yeah, do they have a choice??
When Syria must not fall, Israel is working to make Syria fall
I think the current goal is keeping Iran out of Syria.
Why isn't Iran in Lybia?
It is, but it is using their black op teams
Probably because it's easier to attack Israel from Syria not Libya.
Any update on the rothstein shitยฟ
Looks like AP is running with the story that it was Arab Separatists https://www.apnews.com/b8ed48026b184bc38f2a0cda15b1e10f/Wails,-vows-of-revenge-at-Iran-funeral-after-parade-attack
To see the number of people actually believing that is hysterical.
Like, either Irseal managed that, and made Russia look like a fool, or Russia's Ally shot down their plane.... And makes Russia look like a fool.
Like, I'd they can't hit an ancient craft at this point, but that pilot and take his rust bucket and manage to force a friendly fire episode, you are vastly out smarted.
Nice.
Trump draining the swamp by proxy
Not exactly how I would do it but sure, I still don't think the swamp will ever really get drained without Term Limits for the Legislature
it won't be drained entirely with them either but career politicians are a threat to the nation
well, honestly I think that if we put term limits on congress the parties collapse
since most of their slush money comes from some really disgusting practices when it comes to campaign donations.
yeah, but term limits would just mean the grooming starts lower
but you can still be a career politician if you start as a major and move up
Yes, but most of the money the parties use come from political races that are incumbents, once you start making them actually have to spend money on every race? They will both run out really quickly.
regardless we are in agreement that its a good first step
Yes, we can agree on that.
with 80% of the country (how do we not have this yet?)
because the people who would vote that in are career politicians?
So sexual assault of a minor wasn't enough, rape wasn't enough, gang rape wasn't enough, gotta go straight to *genocide*.
@Grenade123 Constitutional Convention yo
Hold on
How is THAT not outside intervention in our election process?
Brett Kavanaugh ethnically cleansed me once. (I got better)
a NGO
calling for us to Halt our processes
I'm really, really interested as to what the democrats are planning. They're willing to burn so many resources to keep this guy off the bench that it has to be HUGE.
I think the implication was that he was involved in torture, not genocide
(I was being facetious)
Sure, I just wanted to make sure we were on the correct ridiculous accusation page
Atkins - That is why if I were President Trump, I would have went with my second pick for this one let them freak out and then after they push all their political capital I would put up my real pick.
Nope. Never give in to this bullshit.
Oh no, not give in
Never set the precedent that a man is guilty until proven innocent.
Have some one I don't mind if I win with..but don't mind if he goes down in flames
I wouldnt advocate this 4d chess nonsense. Just push through
^
We should halt any future funding to Amnesty International unless and until any information relevant to their possible involvement in human rights violations.
how about
we just stop at
"We should halt any future funding to Amnesty International"
if they do a good job they can get money through donations, if not..then to bad?
I thought the idea of threatening a second nomination was crazy, but now I think about it, it's the kind of hardball the Dems would try. Maybe it could work. Amy seems like a good threat. She actually would repeal Roe.
I mean, if it were me..I would have my next nominee lined up and as soon as the vote is finished throw it out there.
and as that crap show is going, start working on my third, and keep doing it till Sparticus has a Heart Attackicus
I wouldn't just throw it out. But I would issue a credible threat.
Oh I would, and after the third or fourth..I would like Pick Ted Cruz, just to make their head explode.
So a sexy halloween costume company had a sexy Handmaid's Tale costume that people got offended about, and they took it down and apologized. Now they're under fire for having sexy native American costumes.
http://www.foxnews.com/lifestyle/2018/09/24/yandys-sexy-native-american-costume-sparks-twitter-backlash-youre-filth.html
It's pretty ironic that people in favor of the message of Handmaid's Tale would attack them for not showing enough modesty in their dress.
the costume debate begins again lol
Clearly they feel allowing women to dress a certain way is sexist :^)
expecting ideological consistency from regressives are we?
They're radical+intersectional feminists, so yes they view allowing women to dress as a sexy native is wrong because it enforces the patriarchy through objectification, and harms minority women who are more vulnerable than white women.
It's liberal feminism that views empowering women by allowing them to make their own choices as a good. Or as they like to call it 'white feminism'.
but thaaaaaaz racisssss
at least they are finally starting to admit that they just hate white people
literally playing into the alt-rights hands imo
Cultural appropriation shouldn't be a thing. Imitation is why ravens and primates are at the top of the evolutionary ladder.
If a culture produces a useful piece of clothing or a good meal there's no reason not to adopt it. Maybe some people will cry about minstrel shows or w/e but that's free speech so who cares.
The whole cultural appropriation thing, if you think about it, is just what the ethno-supremacists want. Keep all cultures separate, keep foreign ones from poisoning the superior one, etc
One side going "remove kebab" and the other going "stop appropriating kebab"
And now we're starting to even get segregation back. Only this time it's okay because the people are choosing to. xD
It's wild
@Schedrevka this is why i started becoming more of a weeb
ive seen some dumb controversy over individuals in cosplay, monokun hate might typify that but it hasnt broke down to the same point
some would claim "thats more fictional though" but i doubt any of these halloween outfits claimed to be historical recreations
Better stock up on sweedish fish
That's a hell of a review bomb
@Grenade123 do some research first
these pics are from the base game files, which you CAN CHECK USING THE PACK FILE MANAGER AND CHECKING THE "data.pack" AND "data_rome2.pack" FILES IN THE DATA FOLDER
FUCKING PLAY THE GAME
AND DO SOME IN DEPTH RESEARCH FIRST
i agree that the community manager should be fired
but the whole female general thing is completely overblow out of proportions
Its not CA fucking up, its only the CM
I think people are blowing this out of proportions
Quite frankly, once you tweet "If you don't like it, don't buy it." You deserve all blow back you get.
i mean yes
but as long as it's true
and a lot of people are blowing this out of proportion and lying about it
the female general thing
eg
you cannot, for a fact, in the game
People are very on edge and its getting akward
recruiting female roman generals is impossible
so too for the greeks (except egyopt cause of cleo) and the persian/eastern zoriantist faction (pontus, parthia, armenia)
so while on the subject
know any great females in history specifically millitary ones
Besides joan of arc. Shes more of a figurehead in my opinion
only the barbarians can recruit them, and the african-arabians
i mean
Teuta for the illyrians
Boadica?
Was she one?
more of a queen
than a warrior
I love myself a cute woman in armour.
Just not in a "authentic" sim
and i do remember there being a famous warrior queen for the indo-european saka tribe that defeated one of the persian kings
can't remember the name
o shit
who dat ?
@ThePoshBarbarian I did research? Its news, the event is a game a few years old suddenly getting review bombed. Looking at the reviews, they blame female generals where they are not supposed to be, suddenly and out of the blue, or the CM's response. It being overblown in a patter of opinion. Believing Kotaku's take is anything other than hot garbage is on you, its just the first i saw reporting on it, then linked the steam page to confirm that yes: they are review bombing and blaming random female generals and the CM's response.
okay
sorry bout that then
i've just seen enough people lying about this whole thing
it's just pissing me off
<a:boi:412870909712400394>
understandable
@ThePoshBarbarian
this seems like it might have been what makes people see a much higher female general rate than what the spawn tables suggest. Idk how accurate this is since i don't play the game: "The reason for the frequency of female generals despite the low pool rate is that all wives of male characters in factions which have female generals can then be generals, which means that they get far more women than they receive as candidates. This is likely also how the screenshot which shows all women candidates for generalship was created. In reality, all of these candidates are likely the numerous wives of his male characters."
found that in the comments of the video you linked
only for certain factions
barbarians
egypt, and the african-arabian factions
but yeah that is accurate
if you play pure vanilla
i mean i play mostly heavily modded, i tested it out to be sure, with pure vanilla
that seems like it might lead to some issues when playing the game, where even in factions where such generals were somewhat rare, you can unintentionally (or intentionally) end up with a female dominated forced. Which might be some-what immersion breaking. Sounds more like an unintended bug than a feature.
not entirely
unless you willingly just choose men as your candidates and statesmen
you should never be able to just get females
dominated is not only females
unless the RNJesus is against you
RNJesus is always against you, lets be honest lol
yup
however you can choose to not employ them
and, i will say that i'd prefer if CA had not left it to the modders to disable the option
it's bloody fucking common sense
