If the report chose to give a high weight to having more stations close to people... guess what LRT wins because there are typically more stops.

If the report chose to give a high weight to time to destination... guess what subway wins as it's removed from traffic and typically fewer stops..

Well, the answer is clear: they should build a monorail since it can both avoid traffic and have more stops. Good song, too.

this site was a haven for the absolute worst of the Internet. If you got kicked off 4chan, went to 8chan, and then got kicked off 8chan you went here

It's more like Something Awful with a bit of 4chan mixed in.

First and foremost the site is fully of overt white supremacists. Many of who would like to keep that on the down low.

The site largely doesn't censor speech, so some users casually drop slurs. There are plenty who don't, however. It is possible to get thread banned, but that's due to being disruptive, not the content of their speech. There are threads on right-wing lolcows, left-wing lolcows, all across the political spectrum.

But it's also where you went to commit crimes. Lots of them. Swattings, Doxxing, cyber stalking and IRL stalking. You name it.

The site's purpose is to observe and document lolcows. Interacting with them beyond that is forbidden and users who do it get thread banned. This is no different than people blaming 4chan for something without evidence.

If this data makes it's way into law enforcement's hands a whole lot of people are gonna get a visit from your friendly neighborhood policemen. Which is ironic since publicly these are all "back the blue" types.

Highly unlikely. Most of the users give throwaway email accounts. Some use TOR to access the site (new onion URL: http://kiwifarmsaaf4t2h7gc3dfc...). This is in contrast to NeoGAF/ResetEra, who had their emails leak a few years ago, but that site requires real names/emails to link users to.

What people are so scared of with KiwiFarms is that it offers a permanent record of their behavior. 4chan talks a lot about lolcows, but it's anonymous natures and frequent thread deletions meant it was hard to keep track of things. Kiwifarms is fairly well organized with a culture insisting on backing up and archiving data.

Comment It was a dormant account. (Score 0, Troll) 373

The account that posted the illegal material sat unused for two years. It suddenly activated to post said material.

The material was reported to mods and deleted in about 30 minutes. But that apparently was good enough to get the site blacklisted.

For those unaware, Kiwi Farms is basically the new Something Awful, but with influence from 4chan. What's causing the problem right now is that the forum speaks openly about the "transgender community." They don't llke that.

It was possible that the injection itself was screwed up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

The short of it is, the vaccine should be injected into muscle. There's a chance the administrator could miss and hit a vein. In that case, the vaccine would reach the heart, which is a muscle.

You should check out the Kiwi Farms Wuhan thread on this. A lot more information about the inadequacies of the vaccines are coming to light.

Or of course IBM, whose president was well-known to have known the holocaust was occurring, and apparently actually personally supported it.

He apparently was against it the oppression of Jews, but I honestly have no clue.

US companies also did business with the Soviet Union during the same time period.
