@sickburnbro I think they refused to hire someone in the 2000's because he was Christian, SA has been retarded for a while. -

@Griffith @LukeAlmighty @mischievoustomato @KonataWagner @RikaDerufu @Jens_Rasmussen It think it basically is equalized. My issue is that when it's nearly equal, or women are slightly over-represented in a country with one of the lowest murder rates in the world, some people panic because "omg violence against women!!!" Meanwhile in the US 80% of murder victims are male and no one gives a shit. I'm tired of male hatred, or at the very least apathy. -

@mischievoustomato @Griffith @LukeAlmighty @KonataWagner @RikaDerufu @Jens_Rasmussen I think it's fucked up that you think men should die more than women.
In reality, it's not that there is more violence against women in Japan, what's going on is the homicide rate is really low, especially street violence, which is where most men get murdered in places like the US. What's left is domestic murder, which tends to be mostly female, which only slightly overtakes males being murdered. But murder is also incredibly low. -

@coolboymew @demonofustio I don't really think it's totally schizo nonsense, at least not anymore.
Go on websites like twitter with accounts that have zero followers and write something simple, directed at no one like, "I think covid is fake". You'd get a dozen of "first name + bunch'a numbers" accounts screaming at you. Same with literally any other hot button issue. Where did these accounts come from? Idk, certainly not from companies like Logically AI who were paid by governments and had back door access to social media sites to look for people talking about certain things and then deploying bots to try and shutdown the discussion.
On the other end, maybe someone like Mr. Beast isn't an AI generated person, but he isn't organic. The modern internet is an illusion of user generated content (and has for about a decade now), but for the most part it's all really just corporate content pretending to be user generated, or ads for things you should buy. -

@coolboymew @demonofustio Again, I'm not sure I buy that it's as simple as "people being annoying. Yeah, yeah, copypasta, but you can tell the difference between that an people using the same exact adjectives to describe things. Maybe everyone landed on "triumphant return to form for bioware"... but were there seriously no reviews that were like "it's a return to form, if that form was Mass Effect: Andromeda"?
I think it's as simple as:
>Review companies want to make money by getting access to popular or anticipated games early
>Companies that publish games also want to get money off good sales
>Companies that publish games force companies that review games to adhere to certain style guides and have "toxic positive" reviews.
Meanwhile, organic reviews from normal people are not impossible to find, but they don't impact the fabled metacritic score much if at all, and if you say too many negatives things you will be deplatformed. Maybe this isn't the dead internet the schizos wanted, but it's the dead internet we got. -

@coolboymew @demonofustio >bro, you only need a single schizo being weirdly persistent, that's literally all you need.
I know, but what I've seen people show is examples of "I have a zero follower account on something, I say something on a hot button issue to no one, or I say something that uses a bunch of buzz words, but as a jumbled incoherent mess, and then seconds later I have 3 or 4 accounts all using similar canned responses".
Like, that's proof of bots, or low income Indians, Israelis, or Chinese paid to search for key words and then reply with specific canned quotes. This is well documented (though maybe it's not as pervasive as just a year ago, or it's more subtle now). We also have the receipts from companies like Logically who were paid to do this sort of stuff. Sure, more popular things are not bots (again using internet celebrities as an example), but there are lots of these fake accounts and all they do is go around sewing discord trying to make you look discredited. But this also implies that a lot of the incidental content you do see online (like the NAFO stuff from a few years back) is likely astroturfed as well. Maybe it's not 100% bots, but it never needed to be.
Anyway, I feel like we're probably talking passed each other, or we're both sort of saying the same thing but in different ways, idk. -

@sun America is too young to have much of anything. America really doesn't have much of a culture either, for example. I think that's where there "White people don't have culture" thing comes from. They do, they just don't in America. And no one else does either. The closest thing to culture in the US is in like, Appalachia, but it's just "I'm poor and live in the mountains". Most of American culture is like "I have a job". Even what little culture the Native Americans had was utterly obliterated, and the ones left lie constantly about what it is now anyway, so much of it is as real as Shaniqua being a traditional African name. -

@BowsacNoodle @MelGibsonafter4Beers @WilhelmIII @Frondeur @TarnishedYarmulke @EdBoatConnoisseur @pepsi_man @veff Is there more than one dub? I remember not caring for the one I saw. San's voice actress just sounded bored and pretentious, where as the Japanese voice actress sounded more primal and aggressive. I think everyone else was find though. -

@Dudebro @Terry @William_The_Dragonborn Yeah, a while back I tried to go through it all to "find the problem"
>Is it bloat? too many people on the team?
No, they've kept their staff at 200 employees since the 90s
>Are they rushed?
No, they've released a game at a fairly constant rate since the 90s
This issue really seems to be that the upper management does not care because every game prints money without fail, so long as its playable it get released no matter what. The people who really did care are slowly leaving because it's been over 30 years since the concept was first pitched and they are retiring. -

@deprecated_ii It's a problem of "No, we don't want some retard with a truck to come out here, make things worse, and then hurt himself giving us another problem" and "The fuck you think you are, handing out water bottles and undermining my authority!?!?!?!" -

@Hoss @Myshkin @tyler @TeaTootler @gentoobro I might be wrong, but I remembering seeing a YouTube video that said the FCC basically does not prosecute these people, and the source was that he had a list of FCC offenses over a certain time, and there were no instances of someone being charged for using a Baofeng without a loicence. It effectively does not care so long as you are not being a faggot and intentionally disrupting people. -

@Hoss @Myshkin @tyler @TeaTootler @gentoobro Yeah, I think it's comparable. What's funny is I looked into this a while ago. I couldn't find any examples of anyone being punished for not showing up for jury summons, but lots of people getting charged for not showing up after being selected. Basically if you never respond, they don't care, but the moment you do you can very quickly become a pain in their side worth punishing. So the lesson is don't look for attention and you won't get any. -

In my quest of watching old shows before my time, I started Northern Exposure.
It's not good, don't watch it. But... it did reveal to me how frequently Jews would "dog whistle" to other Jews their hatred of Whites.
The main character is a doctor, and so obviously is a Jew from NYC (this is pretty much the foundation of the plot). In one episode, the whole town comes down with the flu, and all the stupid hick White people want to know where it came from, and why the doctor wont cure them.
There's a lot that can be talked about in this episode (such as the cure to the flu being an Indian remedy of literally rubbing shit all over you), but they city calls a town hall meeting to find a solution... to the flu...
In it, the doctor says the flu could have come from anywhere, even Russia, which causes everyone there to start speculating that it's a "communist plot", and then blame the doctor.
They effectively accuse him of being a Russian agent. And at one point, someone literally says "your family were probably Trotskyites, and they marched in solidarity for the Rosenburgs!"
Now in the 90's, do you think most of the Non-Jewish viewers would know what a Trotskyite is, or who the Rosenburgs were (if at my anything more than being spies)? Do you think they would have connected it to "anti-Jewish" sentiments or just go "oh, vaguely Russian stuff, they are saying he's a Russian or something". Meanwhile, the average Jewish viewer would have probably picked up on this right away as being some sort of anti-Jewish insult.
It makes me wonder who much of this stuff was in older media. I know I've seen plenty of Jews shoehorning their ways into stories before, that's nothing new. But I've never seen a show intentionally try to stoke jew-vs-world hatred before in what was probably a very subtle way at the time. -
