come to think of it, shouldn't make a difference

2018-03-07 11:32:03 UTC  

however

2018-03-07 11:32:11 UTC  

if I lop off kalash altogether and just keep 'gun replica'

2018-03-07 11:32:56 UTC  

I get results

2018-03-07 11:33:14 UTC  

perhaps it's a bit like the 'white inventors' thing

2018-03-07 11:33:27 UTC  

where it assumes because the word 'white' is used it flips the script

2018-03-07 11:33:39 UTC  

if you just search for 'inventors' then the white and black inventors show up

2018-03-07 11:33:40 UTC  

etc

2018-03-07 11:34:12 UTC  

as an example

2018-03-07 11:34:17 UTC  

get plenty of results

2018-03-07 11:34:26 UTC  

barely any m-16s though

2018-03-07 11:35:28 UTC  

seems more to do with 'kalashnikov' for some reason

2018-03-07 12:22:46 UTC  

meanwhile

2018-03-07 14:13:48 UTC  

@zahlman That was brought up in the past week, but according to Tim Pool that was implemented 6 years ago

2018-03-07 18:40:27 UTC  

huh.

2018-03-07 18:40:47 UTC  

@Legiondude that's.... *really awkward*.

2018-03-07 18:41:06 UTC  

like, "pay no attention to the man behind the curtain" tier

2018-03-07 18:55:28 UTC  

@zahlman you saw my reply to that though, right?

2018-03-07 19:09:38 UTC  

idk what's going on with "white inventors", but the families thing is easily enough explained by everyone else's SEO, I think

2018-03-07 19:14:17 UTC  

you saw the m-16 results though, right

2018-03-07 19:14:20 UTC  

and the ak-47

2018-03-07 19:14:55 UTC  

we know how SJWey Google can be, but until I get concrete evidence otherwise, it would seem that the algorithm gets hung up on certain words and word combinations

2018-03-07 19:35:52 UTC  

but why would it? that's the thing

2018-03-07 19:36:21 UTC  

it's really hard to come up with an explanation other than a hard-coded intentional failure, even if they don't have a consistent principle for what failures to cause

2018-03-07 19:41:54 UTC  

neither does it make sense to me that they'd hard code it to fail on 'kalashnikov' but not fail on 'ak-47'

2018-03-07 19:42:01 UTC  

joe average barely would know wtf a kalash is

2018-03-07 23:19:50 UTC  

@zahlman It was implemented as a response to the Sandy Hook shooting

2018-03-07 23:19:54 UTC  

IIRC

2018-03-08 06:12:18 UTC  

huh.

2018-03-08 06:36:10 UTC  

One has to wonder, how often do sand niggers blame the USA for random bullets landing on people's head, when they were fired by other sand niggers shooting into the air?

2018-03-08 06:42:48 UTC  

>I can only imagine that trickshot killcam

2018-03-08 08:20:45 UTC  

*If* I'm reading this right

2018-03-08 08:21:39 UTC  

I'm supposed to be upset that the NRA has given slightly less than a million dollars to 29 politicians over the course of 20 years?
