Why didn’t I think of that! It’s so easy to get 1B users, I’ll be rich!

Huh. I don’t know exactly what he did, but OK. The article assumes the reader knows what the guy did to incite others to troll this woman.

Regulation of hate speech is getting a bit scary. In many countries it’s overused to prosecute any criticism of religion or even government officials. The Economist had a nice report on it recently. http://www.economist.com/news/leaders/2…

Still, getting banned from these platforms is fairly far reaching when there’s not a lot of alternatives. Imagine being banned from Verizon Wireless based on what you said on the phone.

What did he do to incite the trolls to attack? I saw a lot of terrible things to Leslie, just wondering what he had to do with it. Isn’t he gay?

Keep in mind, this is Gawker Media. They will put “racist” in the title with the thinnest excuse since they are guaranteed clicks. Clicks = $.

I personally refuse to buy English Muffins because they are so totally imperialists.

From my time on the autobahn at 240kph, that’s exactly right. My 7er handled 150mph just fine, even comfortably. The white knuckles come from the speed difference of those in the right lane. When you close in on them at 150mph and they are going 70, you get the unsettling feeling that they will suddenly switch lanes.…

Unless the justice system could find a way to ban them from traditional and social media, that would just turn those two horrible awful people into martyrs.

Watch how Edison’s hands DESTROY all Tesla’s ideas

Love it. I would buy that thing and live in it. Which I would have to for $100k.

A “little” tone deaf? Videos of people mowing down the parade with a 50 cal will be all over the internet. I have to believe the developers are aiming to be the greatest trolls ever.

Part of the problem that they mention in the video is millennials demanding more amenities to suit their “uniqueness”. Universities are now in the business of health clubs / gyms, social clubs, dining, etc. By bundling those services together with education, they can get their “customers” (students) to pay for those…

to receive a world-class education for free (or nearly free)

Well, the video actually says federal and state funding is at an all time high rather, even though that money is a smaller portion of a university budget. The take home is that a university budget massively increased, while government funding did not quite keep pace.

The video asks an important question, but falls short in giving a good picture of increases. It claims that government funding is now a smaller portion of a state university budget even though state funding is at an all time high. How has the university budget changed? I assume it’s gone up, but it’s not quantified…

That’s nothing. I rummage through recycle bins to put the plastic bottles in the regular garbage.

A bad person? Jesus Christ, everywhere you go in this country there’s somebody that has to moralize and give sermons to the heathens.

Yes, the internet, and standard media as well. You can now seek out a huge array of “news” sources which will confirm any number of niche superstitions - anti-GMO, marijuana curing cancer, illuminati, etc. People are getting more extreme in their views because they interact less with people who disagree with them and…

I don’t notice an optical difference, just in comfort, ergonomics, and cable management.
