Not the sharpest comparison since the LGBT community at large has never called for any ethnic cleansings as far as I'm aware

First you need to stop seeing it as a binary (being gay isn't a bit that gets 'flipped,' it's more of a range that you are predisposed to fall somewhere within) and then this will start making more compatible sense. If y

I remember reading online that to bait the valve half life 2 leaker/hacker to come to the US for authorities to capture, valve sent the hacker a phoney job offer. At the end of the day, all these smart tech workers want is to get paid

Venezuela had a command economy that bet everything on an unstable natural resource. Terrible move, not related to socializing health care or helping the poor. Cuba was economically starved by the US and its allies and unable to interact wi

Thank goodness someone is as brave as you are to defend neo-nazis and their rights. Do you also debate firefighters because, well, they're just as bad as the fires? You see, white nationalists/facists/neo-nazis/alt-right

BLM is a peaceful organization. There are rogue actors, but that is a result of its poor central planning and lack of clear agenda. Please do not discredit the entire movement of people fighting to stop systemic racism because a few of them

Fellow commentors, please be aware that "virtue signalling" is a buzzword used by the alt-right to discredit activists or socially progressive people. This tactic is meant to dissuade the socially progressive from actively taking

This is a really cool demonstration, love the code breakdowns. For a less technical, but broader scale description of ray tracing, Disney made an excellent video describing their use of ray tracing in movies. Check it out here: https:&#x2F

Stop fearmongering and implying immigrants are naturally criminals. Criminality us a result of being marginalized from society and not being able to work "honest" livings. You are forced to rely on your own group, pushed to the ed

Considering your views towards Muslims and willingness to ignore vast amounts of domestic terrorism, it seems like the goals of the 9/11 hijackers has been acheived. 9/11 is a valid date to start from because a large part of its s

Fun fact: the vast majority of North American terrorism is committed by white men. No other group since 9/11 has contributed more to terror than disgruntled white dudes in North America. Refugees are trying to escspe the same horrors y

I don't think Carmack works that way. All he really cares about professionally (I'm not talking about his personal life or rocketry) is doing good work and pushing his code to the limits of the field. Oculus hardware was a big cod

You might be excited by smaller galleries hosting installation rotating artists then. These spaces are more unique and have artists building to complement the specific sites.

To be fair, both movies you listed as low budget flops are in the same niche genre, I think that's more of a trend of people not being interested in that sort of movie right now.

It was wrong then, it's wrong now. Here are some key differences: 1. Trump has made islamaphobic rhetoric a cornerstone of his campaign, giving this racist undertones 2. That was a quiet secret at the time, this was an extremely public

Interesting, but the argument has always been that x is Uber's Netflix DVD phase. Uber black car was the DVD phase for UberX, UberX was the DVD phase for Uber pool, and, now, Uber pool is the DVD phase for fully automating the driver o

They could pass laws that override the order, or, which was what happened constantly during Obama's turn, simply vote against all directives put forward by the president and his party as a sign of disapproval. They can also vote to str

When did "virtue signalling" become the de facto insult against people standing up for human rights? I've been seeing it a lot around hacker news and from various alt right outlets. I've seen it exclusively in dismissive

So what is the line? Neo-nazis don't respond to debate or rationality. What line do they have to cross for violence to become acceptable for you? Because, clearly, actively calling for and organizing a group centered around my death an

That has no bearing on this. It is completely possible to be instrumental in your own oppression. Also, the issue extends beyond women. These attitudes effect everyone, they force men to mentally cut parts of themselves off too. "The f

Smash this gender-binary reaffirming bullshit. It's disgusting that as a society we believe that roles of nurturing or softness are inappropriate for men and that hardness is inappropriate for women. These mentalities trickle upwards t
