I'm confused. Couldn't GDQ have gone to, you know, Discord?
We all know they log everything, both because they want to cover their own rear end but also because what else are they gonna sell once the VC funding runs out, and they have to offload the company to Amazon or whoever to try and make money?

It would create weird privacy concerns if anyone was able to verify the content of anything beyond 'you should really look into this'. Plus how do you ensure that the user is in fact ryan j goose? Im glad its this way because if it wasnt you could expect a dozen 'alt accounts of gdq staff' to appear saying the worst possible stuff. Discord should be trusted as much as irc at this point.
Yeah, you're right.
I guess my hatred of Discord just got the better of me.

The amount of people ITT who don't seem to understand how easy it is to fake screenshots of stuff on the internet is concerning as gently caress. Getting more evidence was the right call unless you want Goose and his cohort to get every LGBTQ runner banned by making a private discord channel using their screen names and writing awful poo poo then providing the single screenshot as 'proof'. Because that's absolutely trivial to do

The only mistake GDQ made here was the idiotic equivocation 'different opinions' bullshit.
You might not wanna assume that we aren't aware of how easy it is to fake screenshots, when the reality is that for at least some of us this isn't the first time we've seen or heard these poo poo-for-brains excuses for human beings behave like this.

If this couldn't have been cooperated by multiple different archival sites, along with just browsing their posts up until they got "smart" and started deleting this posts, maybe you had an argument - but the fact of the matter is that it was very very easy to find other evidence of this kind of behaviour.

What if what kept colon cancer down was all the people having butt fun and noticing lumps inside the butt - and now that it's no longer illegal, nobody is having butt fun so there's no more early detection? Check and mate, Goose.

Clearly we all need to have more butt fun and to try and detect cancer, because there's nothing I can recommend about it.

And now for an actually useful reply:

yeah also lgbqt people in other positions shouldn't have to try to be their conscience about these issues, it's not a substitute for having those people in meaningful leadership roles
This is it, right here. LGBQT+ people aren't other peoples conscience, and being or knowing one isn't a get-out-of-jail-free card.
Everyone needs to think about how their words and actions can hurt other people - It's hard work. It's even harder to apologize, when you gently caress up - but you apologize, tell people how you're going to make amends, and then go make amends.

EDIT: Holy poo poo words are hard.

I agree in the abstract, in that that should be the way it works, but just slapping a PR person on the team and leaving the decision making to the same group of people who've made the same bad decisions over and over and just expecting them to change is just asking for disappointment. Plus I'm not too thrilled at the idea of specifically excluding minorities from the process because out of some notion that you can yell cishet white men with lovely notions into doing the right thing, as that invariably never works. If you want minorities to be included and protected, you need to have them involved at every level to insure they're being heard and their suggestions being incorporated into the process.
Did you mean to quote me? Because I'm pretty sure I never said anything about not having LGBQT+ involved.
My post was about how 1) we don't want to be a card someone can pull to defend themselves, and 2) words and actions can be perceived differently from how you mean them, and that if you hurt someone by your words or actions you need to demonstrate that you're sorry with more than just words.

So it'll be a two-player two-controller setup which devolves into a multiplayer relay posting race for 7 days until AGDQ2019 is over, at which point it's a rush to see who can finish up the quickest?

Me. I was taught it in school, and I guess it must've stuck because I'm still doing it to this day.

EDIT: Here's what I was taught as "skønskrift" (literally translates as beautiful script), with alternative letters as well as the three extra Danish letters.

Huh. Well, I was taught cursive starting in 3rd grade, and was pretty much forced to use it on every assignment from grades 4 through 6. It wasn't required after that. I guess I was only too happy to abandon it when I got to middle school. I can still write in cursive but it takes me longer than printing.
Yeah, I can definitely understand that - I don't even know how it stuck around for me, maybe it's because simply writing and writing my form of cursive is basically the same speed.

Even using a pre-written OS is cheating, you have to bootstrap machine-specific assembly until you can get a self-hosting compiler and then write kernel, the rest of the OS, and all the games pre-requisites.

Honestly, it probably is, it's a meme category anyway - there's no way an incognito session is "enough" to clear big goog's tracking, you know?
Browser fingerprinting, even after Firefox has disabled canvas fingerprinting in 66.0, is an artform only just shy of black magic.
Worse yet, it isn't made better by the fact that the majority of people on the internet use Chrome either on mobile devices or laptops/workstations, given that Google earns money from their ability to fingerprint users even if the users use incogneto mode.

It's especially bad when you remember that up until recently javascript timing in browsers was so tight that such [could be used to leak kernel information via the Meltdown exploits.
Even now after Mozilla relaxed the javascript timing, it's trivial to implement a cryptographic hash in javascript that calculates spends a second calculating hashes that're unique enough that you would only need to match on the useragent and supported files.

First of all, gently caress Caleb.
Secondly, however, I'd like to point out that we really shouldn't judge people based on how they present themselves. Even with chuds, however much I hate them, self-harm and anger management problems can stem from all sorts of personal issues which they're better off working out than letting ruin themselves.
People have to acknowledge they have a problem first, though - and that can be hard.

:ninja:edit: It's probably especially hard when you're a chud because when you're a chud you've got a whole set of ideas that everyone else knows to be all kinds of hosed up :thunk:

Windmill slam Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: The Manhattan Project.
