Heads up:  Our chief herbaceous boomer has decided that the kinja platform should be shut down across all sites, because he’s a herb who doesn’t like being called a herb.

Fuck Spanfeller.

I find it amazing that they’re even trying the idea, after how unpopular it’s proven to be in the past and especially with recent news regarding how Facebook massively overinflated its video numbers to convince many media companies to pivot more to video which basically killed several companies because of how badly…

You’re talking about the bone spurs cadet who watched actual soldiers do a job he personally never had the stones to even pretend doing, like he was watching a movie

It’s 2019 and you haven’t heard of cash counting machines?

Worrying about what “plays into” whatever narrative he wants to spin is pointless. Have you even seen how much bullshit conservative media just spins out of thin air? And all in service of the guy who lies about damn near everything he thinks about. Even when looking at photos of his own inauguration, he lied about…

I’m surprised he even bothered at all, because his normal SOP is to only go to public events that are basically arranged and controlled by him and his party. He can’t stand the idea that he’s unpopular, and it’s easiest for him to maintain the illusion by only ever going to his own personal self-esteem rallies.

She’s asking questions during a congressional hearing, in case you hadn’t noticed. Zuck’s answers become record that could be used in future hearings, including prosecution or appeals filed by Facebook or himself.

Spouted like a 12 year old thinking they’ve found a “gotcha”

Blizzard is certainly demonstrating a talent for painting themselves into a corner and making themselves look like feckless, stupid assholes.

That’s like bragging that the steak you had at a quality steakhouse was better than a McDonald’s value menu burger

How do you know someone is from NY?

He had been dispatched to do a “welfare check” after a neighbor called a non-emergency police number, concerned after noticing that the front and side doors of Jefferson’s home had been open for some time.

Nev gets the deal he deserved, he chose that legacy as his. Appeasement is a fool’s game with anyone who wasn’t already willing to meet halfway because appeasement is typically about only one side having the satisfaction of the bargain.  Appeasement is always stepping forward to “meet someone halfway” who continually…

I grew up with this shit since the days of fucking 56K dial-up, but sure, you quote urbandictionary at me like it’s a legit source compared to actual lifelong experience

The term “troll” has been applied to mean anyone that intentionally tries to get a reaction or response out of someone else since the days of fucking dial-up. Griefing, shitposting, and flaming are just specific flavors of trolling.

That it’s so easy to game the system speaks to how dismal it is that people still put any faith in the idea of an effective algorithm yet existing, especially for anything to do with platform moderation.

One of the biggest and worst failings of social media in general is the outright incapability, willful and otherwise, to regulate their own platforms effectively. Part of the reason Twitch even started featuring other kinds of streaming content that wasn’t exclusively about gaming was because there wasn’t enough money…

I’m sure US companies are going to have a delightful time playing the appeasement game with authoritarian, fascist governments.  It’s worked out so well many times in the the past, obviously.  Just ask Neville Chamberlain!

Easiest way to show yourself for an utter fucking moron is to talk about “cancel culture” like it’s an actual thing.
