Someone over on Fusion’s article on this said they’d much rather see it be GOP politicians gunned down than innocent elementary school students and that’s pretty much my thought as well.

Would you like me to be cranky at you?

I’m sorry but every time I see one of these “customer takes their car on track and warranty is voided” posts I am in complete and utter shock and disbelief. I am a dealer master tech for BMW and we have MANY customers who track their cars. If the failure is not directly related to an “incident” such as a money shift…

Look, I’m not arguing the bigger picture or systemic racism or the value placed on white people vs people of color. My point is that two men died and another was stabbed and barely lived. To bitch that they are getting attention is tone deaf. THEY DIED. Had none of them been hurt or hurt seriously, then the focus…

not to mention everyone who had those two men in their lives who died.

That’s fair, and I think if this happened elsewhere it would be. But knowing the history and politics of this particular city, I think he’s raising a really crucial, valuable point.

I’m saying it’s silly to apply the “white savior complex” to this situation in particular.

There is a difference though, because those that intervened were stabbed and two were killed. That’s my point. Also, frankly given the world’s history in which evil thrives when good men (and women) do nothing, it is important to give credit when people do stand up to hatred inflicted on others.

There is a YouCaring fund for the girls. (I know I am posting this everywhere, but hopefully people see and donate).

This story probably wouldn’t have been reported at all if the stabbings didn’t occur. Racists verbally attacking black little girls or girls and women wearing hijab is extremely common.

I’m sorry, but this is silly. You are getting attention because you were stabbed.

Yeah, that kind of confused me. Those girls deserve a lot of emotional support but they aren’t dealing with medical bills or funeral costs over this. The donations to the families and victims are absolutely fine IMO.

The underlying sentiment of what he’s saying is completely right on—and he says it arguably in stronger terms than those quoted here. However, as right as he generally is, I don’t think he’s right that it’s obscene that the bulk of the money went to the families of those murdered or nearly murdered (i.e., the people…

This is the exact same problem that Niantic also has with Ingress, and I’m not sure they care about it. You’d think that someone at the company would have realized that their games are very strongly anti-newbie and done something about it. Nothing in the years Ingress has existed, and it’s even worse with PokéGo.…

There are four rankings of classified information in the American intelligence community. Confidential, Secret, Top Secret, and code word clearance. The information that President Trump divulged was considered code word clearance-level intelligence, and thus it was above the Top Secret ranking in clarification.

Shaka, when the walls fell?

I’ve read this entire exchange between gokartmozart and yourself. Honestly, you’re never going to make any headway with him. I applaud your efforts, and for what it’s worth I agree with you 100%, but at this point I think it’s time to give it a rest. People rarely concede defeat, especially online.

Well, the thing is, up until now, the courts have been pretty clear on how libel and invasion of privacy laws are supposed to work. The Bollea verdict is a clear and unambiguous departure from precedent. It’s all a lot of fun when it’s a website everybody hates being taken down by a wrestler no one cares about. But…

No, sorry. While the Hulk story was disgusting, it was not in any way illegal or civilly liable and well within their journalistic rights. Hogan had talked extensively and publicly about his sex life and marriage faithfulness, even on the shock jock DJ’s show. That alone made it “newsworthy.” Not to mention the…

Nobody has said that what Theil did was illegal. Also, nobody said that publishing the Bollea sex tape was okay. Gawker was very, very scummy for doing that. Indeed, they were very, very scummy in general.
