William Henry Hairytaint posted:I dunno man I didn't say it made any sense. Plus if we're gonna trace responsibility back that far we may as well go a little farther and blame the parents. Let's not kid ourselves most of the people on 4chan should have been shot into a tissue instead of a vagina.

SA and specifically D&D is the most anti-Trump and radically leftist site I'm aware of on the internet. Also, how do you meme someone into the Presidency? The Resistance is so dumb.

Trump won the election by enough voters to fill a mid-sized sports stadium across a few states. You could very easily make the argument that trump voters are retarded and enough retards were influenced by russian memes to make Trump president. In fact I'm making that argument right now.

Hemingway To Go! posted:why is banning someone who made something horrible after being banned the same as birthing that horrible thing yourself from the outside, people mistake that for an origin story it's like we're a local boxing gym, with a lot of inside jokes and they're people who were banned from the gym for kicking people in the dick and now they're wandering the streets kicking people in the dick, while repeating our old jokes and amateur sleuths with an overdeveloped sense of righteousness look at us like "you hit people, right? that's what you people do here? explain yourselves!" and we're not sure why we have to explain what a gym is also we barely even really box here anymore, we mostly just get high and complain about netflix

We knew we were playing with fire, but we couldn't stop ourselves. Now Trump is president and we have only ourselves to blame. Sorry everyone, we blew it. And since we're laying sins bare here, might as well 'fess up... Gamergate was us too. We really messed up. Big time. poo poo.

Pawn 17 posted:Imagine being so extremely online you think 4chan controls election outcomes with frog memes. This book is dumb, but it's the extremely online who keep insisting that the internet just can't, can't possibly, no way, no how, have any effect on the real world. Any time an 'internet thing' is in the news, they express shock and dismay that anyone would take words on a screen seriously. Well, you know what, the internet is mainstream now, and those dumbasses who don't keep an Ironic Detachment from everything a computer tells them to are all on it, make up most of the population, and can very much have their opinions swayed by the poo poo they read.

Oh they definitely have some stupid poo poo. I listen to NPR almost exclusively and some stuff I just can't take. On the other hand, they had poo poo like Car Talk which was wonderful. I don't give a poo poo about cars but it was just great. Zorba Paster, Garden Talk, all poo poo I don't really care about but is pretty interesting.

I'm not even sure how to feel about it. Ignoring the influence of money and special interests for the moment, and just thinking about what a legit organization focused on journalism should do, how do you even handle coverage of the near daily gently caress ups coming out of the country's executive leadership? Just keep plugging away every day because reporting on it is your job, no matter how repetitive and fatiguing it is for your audience? Do you draw the line somewhere and just give up? Or limit it to like one weekly white house roundup? Like, I'm glad the information is out there, but is there anyone who hasn't made up their mind after 2-3 years of this poo poo?

It's embedded in their organization to continue reporting negatively on this administration. It's not being done on accident nor are there only bad things to report. Love or hate the current admin, whatever, it's how these organizations peddle what they have to say that should concern anyone. Those who got their opinion that half the country is racist because their candidate lost the 2016 election 2.5 years ago need to check their own reality for confirmation bias. Follow the money.

quote:There's less of a focus on himself in the book. Instead he opts for an empathetic distance, like a guy explaining how his crew from high school lost touch over the years — oh, I moved away for school, and then Jerry got really into basketball, and Ryan just kept getting angry for no reason. Except replace "basketball" with "hating Black people and women" and "angry" with "really angry." It's a disappointing omission. You don't say
