Huh, I didn't know that. Even so, he usually goes by the name Jeff Sessions, right? Insisting on 'the Fourth' or whatever just makes me want* to give its owner a swirly, and I'm a fat neckbeard.

I didn't have a clue what fyre fest even was 24 hours ago, and now I can't stop reading about it. It's just such an amazing, glorious trainwreck.

This article's amazing simply for the final paragraph:

quote:

I cannot explain how or why the bros running this festival ignored every warning sign they were given along the way. The writing was on the wall. I saw it firsthand six weeks ago. They overlooked so many very basic things. And baby, they forgot to make me sign an NDA.

I can only imagine the massive, smug, poo poo-eating smile on the writer's face :allears:

How did this happen? Did a pothole just open up under the car or something? It certainly looks like a water pipe burst, but still, I'd have expected a drop of less than a foot.

I'd guess that a pipe developed a leak, and eroded away the soil under the pavement, so the only thing keeping the car up was a sheet of asphalt stretched over a hole. The asphalt gave away, plunging the car into the hole, breaking the pipe, and flooding the sinkhole.

Yeah, I get that- I just wasn't expecting the sinkhole to be so deep.

You sure he drove off? Water that deep, odds are a particularly strong undertow might have just pulled the car off the road. Still a stuuupid move to drive into the water anyway though.

People write far, far less hetero or lesbian or woman only bisexuals fanfics, so nothing will change. If I recall anything from reading fics as a teen, anyways. I think someone had done a study on all the fanfics produced on archive of our own, and found that out of fifty? Or so? Most popular pairings, only one lesbian ship pairing was written about enough to make note of. Which is kind of sad because that implies theres a shitton of straight women fetishizing gay male relationships.

Wait, seriously? I'd have thought there'd be hordes of male nerds writing about hot chicks making out. Or are male nerds just less literary-inclined?

The senate just voted to proceed with the debate to repeal Obamacare

I mean I don't take pleasure in any part of this but apparently at least 50 Republicans + Pence do.

Part of me hopes the repeal does go through just so the American people can see what a moron Cheeto Mussolini and his mob are, then hopefully vote them out in 2018/2020, because even though I'm a foreigner the actions of America can be felt all over the drat world.

Then I realize I'm hoping that 200+ million people are condemned to suffer and I just feel like absolute poo poo :(

Me too. If you look at the alt-right now, you can see that the alt-right followers don't really put their money where their mouth is. See how little they make on Patreon (also on hatreon, lol) or how many books Milo sold.

The main source of money for this people is youtube itself, who has been financing most of the movement. This might be a big blow to them, to the point where I wonder if Youtube won't end up backing down from this.

My main concern is how automated this process will be- if all it takes for a video to get shagged is 'X amount of reports', then what's to stop the alt-Reich from doing the same to videos they don't like? If there were living, breathing humans behind the process I'd feel a lot better about things.

Normally, I'd be against doxxing people, especially if said doxxing would lead to violence against them.

However, since we're talking about Nazis here, and punching Nazis is a moral action, I can't in good conscience denounce this. Also, ALWAYS PUNCH NAZIS.
