The Insane "Social Justice" Thread II

[jamil]

It’s professional protocol and curtesy to refer to some phd holders as “doctor”. However, in non-professional circumstances, it’s acceptable to call them, “hey you, I need another one of these” as you raise your nearly empty drink at a social gathering.

Let's do some rapid fire.

And finally, we're in an age where authors are withdrawing their completed works because of twitter outrage mobs

Never apologize.

Twitter says it's building a feature that lets you hide replies to your tweets - The Verge (Archive)

“People who start interesting conversations on Twitter are really important to us, and we want to empower them to make the conversations they start as healthy as possible by giving them some control,” explains Michelle Yasmeen Haq, a senior product manager at the company who discussed the feature publicly on her personal Twitter account late this afternoon. “We already see people trying keep their conversations healthy by using block, mute, and report, but these tools don’t always address the issue. Block and mute only change the experience of the blocker, and report only works for the content that violates our policies.”

It wouldn’t let a user permanently hide replies, but it would make those replies more difficult to see in the event the original conversation starter wanted to discourage bad-faith or otherwise unpleasant discussions around their tweets.

So MSM twitter accounts, journalist twitter accounts, and others who routinely push propaganda and unsupported claims will soon have a tool to help "control the conversation" and mute posts that call out their BS, effectively creating a harmony of replies that praise or agree with their original tweet.

Essentially letting everyone shadowban each other. Empowering the biggest liars.

Without those "unpleasant discussions", the media would have been free to elevate their twitter lynch mob over the Covington incident into an actual lynch mob.

The way the HDIC of Twitter sold it on the various podcasts he was on, it’s a way to empower users to give them more control over the conversation.

but he did say that the tweets are still available. They’re just hidden. You have to click “show more” to see the hidden tweets.

Gail Simone is a horrible writer. Well. Unless she’s TRYING to **** up characters by writing **** story lines.

Gail Simone is pushing that LBQURATXZ agenda farther every year. The PC DC League.
That community is putting "Shrines" up in their homes because of the boundaries that she is breaking for them. Oh Yeah!

Yeah the caption should read. "We're not really sorry that we intentionally set out to take over comics and blow the whole industry up with our bull****"

Gillette Now Using US Troops to Win Back Customers In Lazy, Awkward Commercial

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that no one who has ever been an actual member of any branch of the military had any input on that commercial.

I'll let others enumerate all of the errors.

I would title this commercial: "Madison Ave. stolen valor".

Where's the blood and guts? That guy looks like he's got a cushy desk job in the guard.

Hey, any job where I can wear my BDUs from the early '90s with modern tan combat boots tied with the bunny-ear method and no headgear...ever, I'm up for.

Huh. The article is gone. But here's our woodland camo "hero".

Hough's right - he's never wearing a cover.


Oh, and Gillette owe's me for that 2:32 lost from my life.
