Can you not be weird, please

What I find fucked up in the first place, is how these business models don't even work in the first place. Like why in the hell am I spending so much on a trip and it's not even profitable in the first place.

Seriously, this is one of the biggest things that we do not need to come over from Reddit.

What's wrong with Privacy Badger? Isn't that from EFF?

What I don't get about all the criticism lobbied at The Game Awards is that other gaming award shows do exist, and have existed, but people don't fucking watch them and then they criticize TGA for doing what other awards shows didn't: get millions to actually watch it.

Seriously, and cycling isn't really even that strenuous. Like the fact that people actually believe this makes it all the more clear why obesity rates are sky high. Like do really people not understand how bodies work?

How are you about to do that on Facebook? I can't even sign up without it asking for my ID

Yes Trump will annihilate whatever semblance of democracy we have left in the United States. He plans on suspending congress, consolidating the courts, and expanding his ability of the executive branch without any checks and balances. He will begin to supercede democratic state governments, and the courts will rule in his favor or he will make them. He will sack any military official that doesn't align with his agenda, and deploy them domestically, even if just to instill fear in dissidents. Furthermore he'll transfer full control of the federal reserve to his office. Slowly eroding our constitutional rights and then he'll even extend his presidential term by another ten years.

This is what you will get if you vote for Trump.

Keep in mind, there are many valid reasons for tracking or things that can be utilized to track or fingerprint you. I however feel there's no transparency, there is often no basis for trust for these websites and I feel they share/sell data with reckless abandon so it is from that angle I approach issues like these from.

People should be able to take care of themselves.

Nah, this is not going to get through with people.

Stop. They just don't get it.

No point in feeling frustrated. Many women aren't ready to date or have interest in men strongly. Keep going and someone may or may not show up just keep living.

Yep, and so you know there's a lot to complain about if Google, that decision is not one of them .

Nobody actually cares about women's basketball. Do you watch WNBA?

Never heard of that. That's interesting.

I don't know about whether the definition of mass shooting is appropriate or not, but at least for me when I think of the phrase mass shootings the image evoked is of the senseless killing sprees that happen in churches and schools that always make national news. I imagine most people also have that definition in their head and so when these statistics make the headlines, and a headline like this is supposed to shock, so there is a mismatch of what the numbers say and their reality.

That matters because to most Americans gun violence is still something that isn't a salient issue in American politics and the public opinion for gun control is relatively much lower in intensity. It also matters how many of these shootings take place in minority communities compared to white neighborhoods.

What I don't understand about people who say things like there are alternatives and point to open source software. Like I understand that most people have used nothing but Adobe since forever, but have you even tried using alternatives for actual work? It's a frustrating experience.

I know what you're saying, I'm just confused why this anger is being directed at Mr. Beast of all people. I'm saying he's doing more for people than most ever will. Maybe he should use his platform for political activism and lobbying, I don't know. I mean, If he did how far could he go with that when what he's doing is working well and he is able to help real people without redtape and bureaucracy. Yes he's playing the capitalist system to help people, but it's working and he is able to do it because he makes a good show of it. Would he be able to do the same if he dedicated himself to politics? I don't know.

I mean it's easier to stack him since he's in the public culture. I just disagree he's a substantial cog. There are far larger and critical institutions that reinforce the system and do far for damage to society. Talking as if Mr. Beast has any actual influence or powerful is laughable.

Trump's case may be a bit more complicated, for one.

I almost forgot about that period of VNN. I actually liked the sensationalism, even already knowing most of it was probably wrong, but it was still interesting to listen to especially if I'm not really paying attention, though I can see how that can easily impact his credibility and reputation.

Many of you here need to grow up.

I don't understand though, because I tried doing research, what other alternatives are there? Seems every damn clothing brand and product has had slave labor involved somewhere.

I'm a creative and a designer myself. My philosophy is that at the end of the day the products should be judged by its result. It's unfortunate because consumers often do not truly appreciate the amount of blood and trouble that goes into works when creatives feel they deserve a break sometimes. Again, at the end of the day, providing explanations why the game is shit is not going to make the game less shit.

I don't but I am aware that it can be used to identify you, as well as from other people if they give open access to their contacts. They only have my email.

It's not exciting. It's boring to watch, at the end of the day that is all it is. I don't watch men's basketball either, but I can very clearly see the difference in the game, they're actually different games entirely.

That's where other means of public transport such as transit, trains, and buses fill in--- all things that help reduce carbon emissions as well. Larger sidewalks too. What we need are options.

For sure but Mr. Beast doesn't actually keep any of the money for himself.
