Blonde's braid is great. Wow

1776

Which America though?

What Epic is doing is great if you're a game developer.

Although ultimately it feels like the middleware / marketplace is basically a race to the bottom. Neither Epic nor Valve or any other should exist, it should just be some open-source market platform with some type of curation system on the user end

Any state that elected Paul Ryan can't be, by definition, the greatest in the Union

YT view counts are based on complete video views, I thought?

Although, lets be honest, if YT wanted to fake view numbers for its own videos, it would just do it. Just changing a number in a database

So does Trump declare national emergency and build the wall tonight?

Honestly it seems like quite a big public works project. Would employ a lot of people

Good, useless

California needs to have its leadership replaced anyway. They are in open rebellion

Picking and choosing laws != rule of law

Yep

Anyone who likes Monopoly hasn't played any good board games

To ask them to oppose Barr?

On what grounds?

"Sources say @POTUS Atty Gen William Barr to focus on tech cos in anti-trust enforcement; worried size of tech giants stifling competition plans more scrutiny of @facebook & @Google; $FB and $GOOG officials worried about increased anti-trust oversight more now @FoxBusiness"

Also Ben Shapiro is a huge shill for the GOP establishment so he's not really a good ally except on the most extreme issues (transgenderism, etc)

Yep. He seems popular because he represents the losing-with-dignity crowd that Leftists love so much

I remember watching some BBC programming while I was in Au and it was presenting 1950s Britain as this multicultural melting pot. Was quite shocking how blatant the propaganda was

Think that was on Sky, if not BBC Au (or whatever that is)

Sounds like a dumper

Opposite of keeper

In general it's almost impossible to find a woman who actually is pro-Conservative / Traditional values, but presumably if you work on it enough you should be able to get her to see the light

Not a good sign if she's reacting that harshly to Matt

I remember the first video I saw of Matt's being one where he was parroting anti-Jordan Peterson views

And having a very negative reaction, because I didn't pick up on the sarcasm. I thought Matt was one of those Leftie channels YouTube tries to push

Maybe she's just hearing what she wants to hear and eventually will come around. Got to get past that initial bias

Is there a stream tonight or no?

It'd be nice if Macron resigned, but at this point I don't think that will happen

Yeah TBH the Conservative mentality if anything is too mature / willing to compromise

Vatican2.0 = Satanism?

Women are much worse in terms of reaction time and in terms of overall strategy / decisionmaking. Very few women even in turn based game eSports...

Yep, it's not clear whether it is a result of a smaller pool of women or whether it's due to other factors

The Morton museum is actually quite disturbing

Oh right, Mutter! I went there, couldn't remember the name

Way too many dead children for my liking....

The problem is the entire financial system ultimately is working against alternatives. Setting up alternative platforms is a fine idea, until you run into the question of how can you sustain such a thing

Crypto is highly niche, and forums are liable to be shut down via hosting providers

Everyone on the internet is vulnerable at some point or another

Yeah I've been meaning to move towards paying with cash for most things. I don't like the amount of data collection that credit cards are doing. Definitely a lot of ethics concerns with having companies be able to track spending habits at the resolution they can

DLive's already compromised, which is really sad

I don't even watch Alex Jones and it's absurd that he's banned for so-called hate speech

The dude is just off the wall bonkers

How is it hate speech to rail against 11 dimensional elves

How do I join the roll call?

Did anyone else see the news about Florida criminalizing criticism of Israel ?

https://hotair.com/archives/2019/04/10/floridas-top-democrat-opposes-anti-semitism-bill-state-senate/ -- This is a little out of date, because the bill actually passed

I don't like the harping on the JQ but when it's legitimately against the law to criticize the state of Israel that really activates some almonds

Yeah, apparently passed unanimously in the Senate too. Zero regard for the 1st amendment

"We have to get rid of this one guy to make us look even handed."

Was there a call in show tonight?

Blonde isn't nihilistic. She's just emotional.

But she fluctuates

If you watch some of her videos she's got some more positive takes. In general it's just easier to be pessimistic

Having Nick on would be great

Thanks for all the infodrumps you do Nick. Hope you kick some ass over this Voxpocalypse

If you haven't already, drop an email over at: https://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/

Every time I call the presidential hotline within the past few weeks the people who take my comment give enthusiastic replies when I mention stopping tech censorship.

(They normally don't give any kind of response.)

Mechanical Pencil master race

Matt and Blonde are ignoring that even though they are good -- YouTube is killing the ecosystem that allows new creators in non-Leftist thought to arise

They're hyper Leftist, so clearly they are working together with organizations also pushing that

Even if it's not in their short term interest, long term they basically see themselves as weakening the nation state which gives them more power

PBS lame, as in YouTube purposefully pushing mainstream media bullshit? Yes.

I had to explicitly block a bunch of channels that I never watch and never have watched on YouTube, because the recommendation algorithm is intent on pushing it on you

Yup. Won't be long

"We're removing the ability to customize channels and to navigate away from YouTube. Our metrics show that users get more value by being endlessly bombarded with unfunny late night talk show activists, and not watching these videos or navigating away from the site interrupts this experience."

Showdown between Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Alexandria Ocasio-Jones when?

Strong in what sense?

If you have open immigration and substantial benefits then people will just come to take advantage of the benefits

Good luck <@601223089828921354> - Does the solution involve a nuclear device headed towards Silicon Valley?

The problem with censorship is ultimately about human heuristics (laziness). Anyone can visit BitChute. It's just marginally less convenient, so people don't. (Also BitChute is blacklisted from Tech cartel sites)

If you devise a system to circumvent censorship you will find that Google will blacklist your tool and thus its reach is already 1000x smaller because most people cannot find or know how to install your tool.

Same as what happened with Gab & Dissenter

Yes, but they have been hamstrung

I think one of the things that holds back BitChute is the lack of a recommendation feature based on trending videos

Recommendations introduce people to new content, that is very useful

I think users should be able to customize their recommendations and have all that info locally

That'd be wonderful

If the NFL saves the internet I'll have to actually watch football

YT routinely refuses to notify people of videos it doesn't want to promote

Does anyone know whether there's a format for Call-In show email questions?

For a 50yo woman she is a ten

Thanks for the show

Gold pressed latinum can't be replicated for reasons

Geez, thought I was in the wrong channel

Anyone see this story about the Ohio kid who was arrested for precrime for saying "Shoot all feds" ?

Oh noes

That's a Count Dankula mic drop

https://www.aol.com/article/news/2019/08/13/ohio-man-who-posted-about-mass-shootings-arrested/23792664/

Kid gets arrested for generic online rhetoric. News media obscures the fact that all of the guns they are so focused on were owned by his father, celebrates lack of due process and unreasonable search and seizures.

Criminalization of free speech continues unabated

Basically

Looks like a catcher's padding

They probably didn't want to bang him up too bad after their illegal raid on his house

Will look bad if he sues and goes to collect

Anyone know the email for the call in show?

Ah ok, wasn't sure if there was a different one
