That, the part where being a game dev equals experience with cyber security and the part where where they had to take a break after being outside for a whole hour. The whole thing seems odd. They weren’t kidding about this being a practice run. Wonder what she will do with the 172k.

I have zero desire to get into the mess surrounding Wu (as Gamergate is and always has been toxic as fuck, and founded on a number of fallacy-laden arguments), but I’m just going to put this out there: Comparing a political candidacy to soldiers fighting in World War II, where hundreds of thousands of American…

“There are definitely some nuances missing here...”

if I could not see videos about MatPat and youtuber “film theorists” who feed in to the current internet culture of clickbait thumbnail ALL CAP SENSATIONALISM...that’d be pretty cool

He just lost his primary.  Oh well, so much for that theory. 

Listen, god knows the American left has some problems.

Cohen didn’t stop him because he was saying the “N” word, but his character responding in horror and saying, “No, I meant nanu” was an unexpected and hilarious comic beat.  Cohen’s aim is to get people to do dumb shit, but the dumb shit in itself isn’t always funny.  It’s the little bits like that which make it funny.

Speaking as an Arizonan, you can paint Kingman and its residents with as broad a brush as you like.

I definitely think that last segment was the one Fielder directed. It seemed the most Nathan For You-esque. I know the reality show tricks of getting the right people in that room to get the kind of reactions you’re looking, but holy shit, even knowing that it’s still not a good look for Kingman.

he thought he was filming a real training video for “elected officials who may be targeted by terrorists.”

I just saw the show, and I now realise he’s Israeli, contrary to what this article says. I thought he was hilarious and one of Cohen’s most convincing characters.

Conversely, on the very, very far left it is harder to distinguish between people who don’t like Bibi’s government (join the club) and people who think erasing Jews’ right to self-determination in their ancestral homeland is some sort of grand humanitarian strategy or path forward to the point were they have no…

Sweet baby Jesus, Fox News et al. have really done a number on you folks, haven’t they? I normally feel bad for victims of gaslighting, but you did it to yourselves on this one.

I mean, technically, since she’s posting pictures of her expensive guns online, and telling everyone who will listen to about her expensive guns she’s increasing the risk that some enterprising criminal will realize that there’s thousands of dollars of easy-selling merchandise in her home, and act upon that…

The American right-wing support of Israel has been around for decades and has less to do with post 9/11 attitudes towards Islam than it does with the belief that many conservative Christians have that Solomon’s temple needs to be rebuilt for the Second Coming to occur.

Borat is not explicitly Muslim, but Kazakhstan is a majority Muslim country.

A lot of right-wing gentiles are obsessed with Israel. Ironically, many of them wouldn’t give an American Jew the time of day.

Is Borat Muslim?

If he invests money and the product does well, then he deserves said money. It’s how capitalism works. Whatever people bitch about on Twitter matters less to me. HQ is getting over a million players a game now so I don’t think most people care about some hashtag.

Umm... who they get funding from is irrelevant to whether an app is useful or entertaining.
