It’s sad, because I have fond memories of voice chat in games like Modern Warfare and even the early days of SOCOM, but lately, I’ve been quick to hit the mute or even playing with all-mute in games like PUBG.

This kind of shit is why I immediately mute every single human being on voice chat in any online multiplayer game.

Harassing words blocked on Trump’s twitter: “truth” “science” “facts”

I guess Twitter didn’t get the memo about the election. All that stuff is okay now.

Most people don’t really want news, they want to confirm that what they already believe is true. Before social media such a “news” source didn’t exist, so people were forced to confront actual facts. Now, you can tell yourself that there is real “news” that backs up what you already think without having to confront…

They’re not blaming Facebook for Trump’s election, they’re pointing out that Facebook is trying to have it both ways: boasting about being the largest news site in the world but refusing to take responsibility for demonstrably false news being posted, in the name of “impartiality.”

If only I could tell them a story, a short story. About a nice elderly Jewish man who was made, with other men of his village to dig a hole, just a hole. Later, with the other men, he got machine gunned into that hole which became their mass grave. That man, was my great-grandfather.

I’m a Japanologist doing research…

If there’s one thing you cannot hold against the German, it’s that they really teach their population the atrocities of WW2. It often feels as if Japan doesn’t care.
