Max Facetime posted:I like the part where they think what matters is which meaning they have chosen and not that when someone looks up the word and sees i had just never considered that some non-american might watch south park and not recognize the running joke that everything associated with cartman is at least subtly and often unsubtly racist

yes, it is a recurring intentional element of the show's script-writing that the producers think is funny, or in common parlance a "running joke"

yeah, i totally see that argument (and a few others) against making the joke in the first place but it is clearly an intentional reference

alright, straight white dude here to explain everything and render judgement, be warned in one corner of this con they apparently put up an unmonitored whiteboard for people to write down things that help them cope with stress. this is the sort of thing that seems like a really good idea, because it's fun and it makes people feel engaged and maybe starts conversations around it, but actually it's maybe not a great idea because especially for this topic because it might go places you don't really want it to go, like happened here, and you look like an idiot so a couple different people write down "weed", which is presumably an honest answer, but which also makes people laugh and want to put up their own funny answers. now somebody else puts up "boobies", which in their mind is funny and in keeping, but actually is unprofessional and rude but because it's sexualizing in a way that's predictably and understandably going to make some women really uncomfortable. and then another person puts down "boobies", and to put their own own twist on it they (or maybe a third person?) add "#metoo" okay so the best possible spin on this is that they're not trying to make a statement, just trying to say "same" in a funny way by making a reference to something they vaguely remember hearing about. now even that is messed up; anyone who paid enough attention to the reporting around "#metoo" to remember it really should've realized that it is not a super funny topic that they should be making random "wacky" references to on a whiteboard about ways to relieve stress. even if this is somehow an honest mistake, it's also a revealing mistake. and that's the best spin; it's not at all crazy to think this is some intentional misogynist troll, because that happens, it is a real thing so someone points it out to the con staff, and they don't seem like they're doing anything about it, and so that person escalates, and the staff eventually write huffy posts on social media about the terrible attendee who yelled at them for hours. because apparently they knew the guy who wrote "#metoo" and he's a big deal in their little world and they didn't want to piss him off by asking him to make amends or even explain himself. and having to listen to this wholly justified criticism of their actions is such a headache that they're literally going to shut down their con rather than deal with it anymore. which is both lovely and hilariously weak

"what do you do to relax" is definitely a more loaded question than most i didn't even mention the person who wrote "furiously masturbate" in the top corner edit: a respectable snipe

you explicitly opt in to that when you set up the phone, it’s clear about the information that’s sent, and (most importantly) we have no reason to lie about it because we don’t make money by selling you ads well unless it’s an amazing offer of free music from u2 but yeah it’s totally equivalent to facebook’s $20 total system spyware or the $10 discount you get for the kindle kids edition with special offers

Lutha Mahtin posted:no, i remember "The DAO" too. but i admit that i very well might be misremembering the specifics of the "our online keygen site went defunct and is now 404" or however that silly debacle worked out. i am pretty sure a smart contract was involved in that one somehow, but i don't remember enough to go search for it i think it was a bitcoin wallet generator smart contracts can’t do web requests (or anything else that depends directly on external information sources)

Cocoa Crispies posted:yeah, but you could probably have a smart contract that expects new data pushed to the blockchain by some authenticated client that everyone just has to trust yeah, you can get information in to the system passively that way, but i don’t why a url would be involved
