Just private companies doing private company things.

Okay, as a woman her age and who also has an economics degree, I promise, we're not all like her

Черт, они разобрали меня

No, you speak terrible food (other than poutine) and spineless politicians

Didn't you get the memo?

I don't know what it is about economics. You get really smart people with good ideas to make the world a better place, and a whole lot of fucking nutjobs

I had a professor who straight up wanted the world to go back to barter and trade and abandon currency altogether.

Ah yes, the days when sexual partners were chosen by who hadn't died during the slightly-colder-than-normal-winter.

"Man Sigra, I really want to tell Thag that I like him, but I'm just too shy."
"Oh didn't you hear? Thag got a toenail infection last week. He died in agonizing pain and gasping for air this morning."

My econ professors were weird, but smart and had good economic theory, generally speaking. Had the anprim guy and a couple Marx fangirls, but beyond that it was pretty good

31 as in, 31-most-visited website?

The Streisand effect will have to be re-named the InfoWars Effect after all this.

The Gay Frogs Effect

The Party has declared the name "Alex Jones" to be hateful and offensive. Anyone caught using this phrase in an unauthorized manner shall be immediately detained by the Committee for the Promotion of Diversity and Wokeness. All offending platforms for these illegal communications shall be hereby suspended for the protection of the oppressed minority classes.

In all seriousness, Tim's comment earlier today about not fitting in with any extreme really struck home with me. I'm bi and I never felt accepted by the local gay community except in a very shallow way. But to many straight people, I was either pretending or someone's sexy birthday present idea.

So when he talks about being mixed race and getting shit from both sides, it resonates

It's not even on the fence. Being mixed race carries more issues than being bi obviously, but it's an disallowing of me to be able to acknowledge my whole self. I have to "pick a side."

Oh, I could rant for hours about it, but I'll spare you all

Yeah, that's what I was getting at

Not the white nationalist kind of issues, but the, "you're white when it's convenient and you're Asian when it's not" when it comes to discussing certain political topics

Those discussions tend to get more heated or carry further across social media platforms than the discussions around bisexuality

But my point is just that I feel like I don't belong and should belong to both groups

And then we'd all be sympathetic as you were justly hauled off to a jail cell

@Lagomaster24 Oh I'm well over being anything more than mildly annoyed by it now, but when I was a teenager and was looking for support from people who claimed to be sympathetic and understanding, it really shook me up.

But I grew up and threw a thicker skin and learned that life involves more than that one facet of my identity. Hard lesson, but a valuable one

They think they're fighting against the 1942 German army.

Dude, ALL the media outlets were fearmongering in the early 2000s. They were all gung-ho about Iraq until Fallujah

Crappy products that don't do anything, but products

Your joke's worn out of steam, my dude. Quit spamming the unfunny Alex Jones sales pitch

Majority? My grandma has a Facebook account and the Internet didn't exist for 2/3 of her life. Most Americans have social media. Most of them have better things to do than follow some lunatic on YouTube

The ones who have time to sit around and follow politics on social media 24/7 are the ones who care.

It was never a SMART idea

People have been petty and politically violent since the dawn of man. The difference now is that society is very dependent on electronic communications, and due to convenience, society allowed the vast majority of it into the hands of a few thousand people in San Fran.

The right is violent too, by those standards.

Well, they killed a woman a year ago

And a couple cops

And tried to kill a black guy, but the gun jammed

And that was all on the same day

@Rabbi Shekels Show me the antifa murder

Because I can show you a whole slew of neo-Nazi slayings

I can keep going

Right wing terrorism has been FAR more lethal in recent years than left wing terrorism

At least in the US

And before anyone chimes in, yes, I cited a couple non-Americans

Hell yes, dude

Why? It won't matter. Clearly citing evidence hasn't convinced you.

So why waste my time?

Lethality very much matters. Difference between burying your kid and getting to hug them at Christmas

But my point is that both sides have done stupid violent shit that leads nowhere and when each side tries to point to the other as justification for amping up their own actions and rhetoric, it fuels this fucking shitty cycle

Even if the left does it more often, the right is objectively more lethal which carries far worse consequences. And the majority of both sides are anti-violence.

No, we're talking about extremists, not your average person

We're already talking about a fringe population

Yeah, and how many right wingers tweet about helicopter rides?

Even Tim said that there were some jangling keys in front of antifa kids as a threat about running them over with cars

Sucker punching anyone is a cowardly thing to do. And even with a running start, he couldn't get a foppish dope like Spencer to the ground.

A sucker punch is cowardly. Running away is even more cowardly. Macing someone on the ground is as well. But punching someone who's not looking? Spineless and weak and beta as fuck

Shooting people isn't the answer

As I recall, the antifa guy was arrested and was originally charged with multiple felonies

Well then I guess it's okay that a neo-Nazi walked on probation for trying to shoot a black guy in Charlottesville last year

That's not what happened

He walked up to a crowd, shouted, "Hey nigger" and tried to fire at him, but the gun jammed

Then he shot into the ground

No, I'm saying that @Rabbi Shekels is being ridiculously myopic and biased

Not when you state them as truth

Which is how we got into this mess to begin with

@GingaBomber They're not though. They're being arrested and charged. The loudmouths on Twitter are supporting of them, but they're being handled as anyone else would

And CNN and MSNBC are ridiculously biased, but your average left-leaning guy is as embarrassed of the leftwing nutcases as the right-leaning guy is of nazi fuckbags

@GingaBomber So did a Charlottesville Nazi! S

Like, an actual fucking neo nazi kill all jews nazi

@Rabbi Shekels That kind of rhetoric is what gets people killed. Nothing is going to happen. They'll make a ton of noise, people will make more noise back at them, and then they'll go home

@Rabbi Shekels They both are

The normies are fine. They're getting bigger paychecks, the economy is doing well, they're probably embarrassed by the stupid shit their president says... the only ones thinking there's about to be some kind of civil war are the ones who need to get off the internet and go play outside

We get it, Eros. You're trying really really hard to be edgy. It's not working, but bless you for trying

Humor usually involves being funny

lol contro

Man, it must suck to just be a boring drunk. Or he's just not drunk enough. Maybe there's a genius comedian hidden in that bottle.

I dunno, chicken looked more like, "Now? Well alright, fine"

The other chicken's like, "You moving in on my girl?"

It's 2018, are you saying there can't be interspecies gay love?! Omg #triggered

Quilliam's a cool organization.

Are they looking for someone?

You might want to reach out to them first

See if they have an opportunity

And if they do, you can tailor your resume toward what they're looking for: highlight relevant skills and such

Ah, you're one of those filthy degenerates who are trying to hand me fliers or get me to vote for someone I don't know or care about

No forks or spoons? You knife supremacist

Actually, I've only seen my dad get anywhere close to violence twice. Once was when some fuckbag slapped his girlfriend on the train and dad intervened, and the other was when a PETA guy handed me a pamphlet titled, "Your mommy kills animals" when we went to the Nutcracker ballet

My dad lost his fucking shit. I don't think I've ever seen him so angry.

We had scientologists try to recruit at my campus a few times

I fucking love tofu lion

Um, Q is clearly the worst of the letters

It can't exist on it's own! It's fucking useless

Hell no, Þ is redundant

Now umlauts, we need umlauts back

Oh I thought you meant like, actually mentioned snowballing. I was gonna say, "Well, I'm not shocked given what gets okayed for publishing on some of those sites"

Tim's seems to be a lot more grumpy lately in his videos than usual. Hope everything's okay

Sexual attraction is about attraction to sex, not gender. Not a complex concept.

I say this as a bisexual person who's dated trans people before. I'd be really pissed and instantly not in the mood if I went home with someone expecting one set of equipment and got a different set with zero warning.
