They're trying to cram the open idea exchange the internet offers back into its box. All this kind of behaviour is going to achieve is pushing people to harder to censor places and the development of new technology that can't be tampered with by billionaires that think they have the right to decide what we consume.

Yeah, BLM only burned down and looted the poor areas of town. It's not equivalent because they didn't even consider going after those responsible

sorry sweaty, this is a christian server

Start with anyone that thinks their opinion is so good all others need to be censored.

Probably the Dutch blackface thing

slashdot is full of pseudo intellectuals that think they're smart because they happen to be browsing a website that used to be read by smart people. It's equally as cancerous as any youtube comment section.

The internet just isn't enjoyable anymore. It's filled with clout chasing morons looking for celebrity, no one just does anything for fun anymore. Too much ego, too many people looking for reasons to get upset, too many dickheads in positions that think they have any leg to stand on policing it all. Let's just go back to segmented community PHP forums, it was way better.

The whole model is completely broken by design. It encourages stupid behaviour from low information idiots and people looking for unearned fame. Just burn them all down already, they've done far more damage than good.

Amazing how the first company to run crying to the government for a handout whenever there's a small blip in their bottom line suggests that we should tax workers more. What an absolutely PoS company.

My 11 years as a professional gearhead tells me that it takes a certain type to be any good at this. I'm sure there's some among retail workers, but they're going to be a rarity, much like I doubt you'd be able to make many of them doctors either. Also bootcamps don't work, haven't seen anyone that's not already tech inclined become any good after one.

Oh look at that, a politician lying, whoever could have seen this happening. Protip that happens literally every day and is carried out by literally all of them, it's how power and political strategy works. Again, the only reason the democrats accepted that is because of their own hubris. Had Hillary thought she was losing shills like you would have been screaming at the GOP to confirm Garland.

It's a matter of public record her staff smashed subpeonaed devices. Coney even said in his "recommend no charges" spiel that she'd violated the law. Christ you idiots are quick to defend the establishment.

Oh please. Had the Democrats had the numbers Merrick Garland would have been confirmed in the same circumstances. They were stupid enough to change the rules back then to confirm Sotomayor, and now that the shenanigans has begotten shenanigans you social media zombies can't fucking take it. Not even a seppo, but Trump 2020, screw all y'all idiots making comments like this.

Someone needs to remind Sarah Hanson Young that Sea Patrol isn't real

You're making this way too easy for us. I posted an infographic labelled "White Supremacist Hand Symbols" that I found on 4chan on a troll meme page I run, it got shitloads of shares on various liberal pages. What they didn't seem to realise was that it was the American sign language alphabet. You'd think after having multiple such instances of this kind of ridicule (particularly the whole "white power" ok symbol), people would stop being so deranged. But sites like the Guardian all double down on their stupidity. Y'all need to stop before people like me discover the trolling singularity and hit the point of no return.
