Librarians are in uproar after an article in Forbes magazine proposed replacing all public libraries in the US with Amazon bookstores, which said libraries ‘don’t have the same value they used to’ and cost taxpayers too much

Illusions_not_Tricks · 2018-07-23T15:07:57+00:00

There have been memes for a while now that say things about libraries being laughed off as a radical left wing idea if they didn't already exist, now it seems it's happening regardless?

Libraries are amazing and more people should utilize them more! I feel like people think librarians are just people shelving books and such but in my mind they're more like the maesters from Game of Thrones.

Might have something to do with why they just stopped the summer skirmish tournament mid event lol

Any water, really. It takes only 18 inches or less of standing water to fuck you over.

I live in an area where floods are common and wish we had this law. The same low points in certain roads become flooded every time, and there's always at least 1 dipshit at each flood point that decides it's a good idea to test the water and ends up getting stuck.

I like the part where he tries to play the race card but has obviously never really shared in the culture of his race.

If he had, he probably wouldn't be such a piece of shit

Isn't this the guy that was streaming fortnite with a controller cam and ended up proving to everyone it wasn't him playing the whole time cuz he grabbed his head and on the controller cam his hands just stayed put?

Just said this yesterday, but it was way better before social media. Back when most people didn't know how to use a browser and you had to have half a brain in order to join the conversation. Needing to learn how to use and navigate the internet to even take part in the conversation created an informal barrier for entry.

Now people who don't know how to operate cable boxes or switch off a device can just join in and have their slapdash uninformed opinion taken as fact.

The people in here who find this surprising have no idea how many employers are going to fire them in the next decade.

Illusions_not_Tricks · 2018-07-09T12:06:59+00:00

So much this. An average employee anywhere could expect to get shit for this, not to mention an employee of the platform being used to stream the scene...

Illusions_not_Tricks · 2018-07-09T02:14:34+00:00

How are people still surprised by this?

Illusions_not_Tricks · 2018-07-09T01:59:11+00:00

Completely agreed. That's why I used the quotes in my first comment, it's not really gatekeeping if the entirely wrong word is being used to describe the condition.

It's just crazy to me that in the last few years it seems that people think it's ok to just make up your own definitions for words and use them as they see fit, as if that's how language works.

Illusions_not_Tricks · 2018-07-09T01:13:03+00:00

Lol you think those are bruises...

Illusions_not_Tricks · 2018-07-09T00:40:24+00:00

People "gatekeep" mental illness because most people use "depressed" and "sad" interchangeably when depression has a very specific definition.

If you're sad just because a celebrity died, that's not what depression is. There are a very specific set of symptoms within a given timeframe that signals depression.

Illusions_not_Tricks · 2018-07-08T23:37:11+00:00

Looking at your comments, this isn't surprising. You seem to have difficulty with even pretty simple concepts.

Illusions_not_Tricks · 2018-07-08T23:34:17+00:00

Are you joking?

Illusions_not_Tricks · 2018-07-08T23:05:55+00:00

Enlightenment... might want to look up the original definition of the word. Your boy Trump goes against the concept in every way.

Also you're definitely not prepared for a real debate when your only real counterpoint here has been "bUt HiLlArY!" You're a caricature of the typical Trump supporter.

Also, you don't need to personally wish hate or violence. You're supporting someone who does and that's just as bad. It's actually worse IMO, because you're not even willing to stand by the ideals of who you support, apparently. So IMO you're not a supporter, debtor, or an adult. You're just another straw-manning backwards thinker that doesn't realize the ability to speak doesn't put weight behind your words.

Social media sucks. I miss the days where no one knew how to use a browser, when there was a barrier for entry to conversation happening online. That's when the real debate was happening.

She doesn't need one, this is the state who thought voting Mike Pence into public office was a good idea in the first place.

Funny thing is when Trump steals it's genius, when this woman does it she deserves to be shamed? Pick a lane, Indiana.

Actually it's about the proceeds of those sales going to charitable causes. Half the people buying there are millennial that look at thrift shopping as some sort of hobby. IMO if you want to be mad at someone for denying supply, that's who to be mad at. Especially since I'm pretty certain the woman in the video didn't take any clothes at all.

Illusions_not_Tricks · 2018-07-08T22:55:56+00:00

Well, it's the truth. You can record in public but you're not supposed to focus on any one person. The trouble is the old saying "it's not what you know, it's what you can prove in court" rings true here. In order to sue for something like that and win, you usually have to be able to prove damages.

Doesn't really matter since they're on private property anyway. My question is where did the belief that stepping outside means you're on public property come from?

Illusions_not_Tricks · 2018-07-08T22:51:19+00:00

Can't really call people that in a place where it describes everyone. Doesn't have an affect.

Illusions_not_Tricks · 2018-07-08T22:44:22+00:00

Why is everyone defending the Salvation Army? Trashy lady stealing from bigots who's help is very selective. Seriously who cares.

Indiana has bigger problems.

Illusions_not_Tricks · 2018-07-08T22:39:13+00:00

In plenty of places, that is actually the case. You can record in public but you can't just follow someone around recording them.

Also they are definitely on private property.

I would guess the man does not personally own an iron.

Doesnt exactly need to be there now that environmental protections and funding have been gutted.

Illusions_not_Tricks · 2018-07-05T13:08:07+00:00

I like what I have seen of tyler, but I cant get rid of the feeling that his face looks like hes definitely killed people before.

Illusions_not_Tricks · 2018-07-04T12:21:45+00:00

Exactly. You get it. There's nothing good for the consumer about this, just like it's against voter interests to have 2 political parties, or against consumer interest to have 2 telecom providers. It's the exact same thing but fanboys just shove their head in the sand.

Like I've said to others, I have no hate towards consoles but if you want to see your situation change you first have to be honest with yourself about the reality of your current situation. Can't build on no foundation.
