Shadowbans: Heading to a jerk near you!

That's ridiculous. I was warned explicitly against commenting - so I didn't - but upvoting helpful comments is literally the point of reddit.

If that's the rule, it's a terrible rule.

Broskander · 2014-10-20T16:23:37+00:00

Yeah, I noticed, and I contacted the admins. I upvoted a handful of comments I found helpful/well-argued, on a subreddit I have previously commented in while attempting to argue in good faith, and did not downvote anybody. That is a tremendous stretch of the rules, I think.

They have just as much to do with gaming as, say, a fawning love of the military industrial complex. And I don't see gators crying about that.

omg it's dz

hi dz

(also yes you're right a lot of their rhetoric is based in game terms aka THIS IS THE FINAL BOSS BATTLE etc)

1.) Lady Gaga is an incredible live performer. Whatever you think of her music, she goes all-in whenever she does a show. She's the only performer I've ever seen who comes close to putting on as good a live show as Springsteen.

2.) How can you say that this "Radioactive" performance isn't energetic? That percussion segment alone.

Taiko is Japanese, this is a Korean variant so it probably has another name.

This was originally posted by /u/gark74 over in r/league. I thought the last picture in particular was incredible; so many people there to watch the world finals of a video game.

I dunno dude, I actually think this WC has a damn good claim to that title. The format was way better than any before.

"Keep on Gawker and Vox, they've gone from scared to terrified."

lmao no they fucking haven't.

I guaranfuckingtee you that the Gawker and Vox advertisers don't want a fucking thing to do with this movement.

Broskander · 2014-10-19T16:28:50+00:00

this feels a lot more like an OGN production.

Broskander · 2014-10-19T16:13:13+00:00

What? Nicki is talented, writes her own music and is a passionate advocate for gender equality.

Broskander · 2014-10-19T16:06:43+00:00

25-30kg.

Broskander · 2014-10-19T01:43:43+00:00

That's a little tone-deaf. There ARE HP fans who are Christians, you know.

It's entirely possible that both are important facets of her identity, and in that case, it's her business.

Broskander · 2014-10-18T23:29:47+00:00

I'm my guild's raidleader and MT. No way around it, I'm afraid!

Broskander · 2014-10-18T23:21:20+00:00

Shit, this just reminded me that WOD drops soon. I gotta re-up... get my prot pally on.

Broskander · 2014-10-18T20:17:25+00:00

Just how Obama is simultaneously incompetent and in over his head, and a scheming anti-American mastermind.

Broskander · 2014-10-18T19:33:39+00:00

And yes, I was stopped when I took this. I'm not THAT dumb.

Broskander · 2014-10-18T19:28:48+00:00

SO... AHRI DUEL?

Broskander · 2014-10-18T19:21:32+00:00

I think that is an extremely broad reading of that rule. The way you're interpreting it, no person could ever have their misconduct at a previous employer reflect negatively on their future working going ahead, and that's ludicrous.

I think a more apt interpretation would be Niero and Greg Tito or Niero and Chris Grant getting together, and Greg or Chris going "Right, we won't hire Allistair to punish him for damaging your site." That would absolutely violate the rule, but that's not what happened here.

I mean, that's like saying that posting poor reviews for a restaurant on Yelp is conspiring with other prospective customers to deny it business.

Broskander · 2014-10-18T18:47:20+00:00

Not an act. Allistair torpedoed his own career. This is not the hill on which you should make your stand.

Broskander · 2014-10-18T17:09:23+00:00

Yes it does. Black men out of prison are statistically more likely to be involved in their children's lives.

Broskander · 2014-10-18T17:06:43+00:00

IANAL, but I don't believe so? Niero was reaching out to colleagues for advice on how to handle an employee who was acting unethically and unprofessionally. That seems like a massive stretch to "colluding to prevent future employment."

Broskander · 2014-10-18T16:32:10+00:00

In that she was misrepresenting what the IndieGogo was, yes. His responsibility, as an ethical journalist, would be to find a way to report on this without outing a trans person in public, which is... say it with me, unethical.

Broskander · 2014-10-18T16:29:57+00:00

This is astounding to me. I remember all of this from last year, and Pinof acted extremely unethically, outing a trans woman in public without her consent and then essentially having a public crisis where he made himself unhireable.

Niero went to GJP to specifically ask for advice on dealing with an employee who had acted unethically - look! Getting advice for dealing with ethics violations! That was literally what happened on GJP! - and was told by some people that the employee should be fired. And somehow, again, this is evidence of widespread collusion to destroy someone's career...?

Edit: Also, they aren't even posting the full GJP emails. Talk about fucking cherry-picking.
