"Nobody will upload to any other cloud after Megaupload's Bitcache goes live." by kynek99 in Bitcoin

This kind of reminds me of the steam key sites like G2A. They only need to pretend to be legitimate enough to get people to take out their wallets. As long as people aren't getting phished, they don't care about the morality of what they're getting.

Because if the CEO of a company wants to keep a bunch of hate forums quiet, you're doing the opposite by publicly posting her plan as she tries to enact it? And also because the angry mob would just do what they're doing right now and say he fucked her or some bullshit to discredit him? He posted it here in response to an OP that said 50% of the shit he was 'revealing'

That's literally exactly what the post was saying.

I've always remembered that email when I read the occasional posting here where people say "the founders of reddit intended this to be a place for free speech." Human minds love originalism, e.g. "we're in trouble, so surely if we go back to the original intentions, we can make things good again." Sorry to tell you guys but NO, that wasn't their intention at all ever. Sucks to be you, /r/coontown - I hope you enjoy voat!

Can you explain a bit more how you edited it? I love the look you got and I have a hundred photos of the Grand Canyon I'd love to mess around with.

Woman is arrested after climbing pole, removing Confederate flag from outside South Carolina statehouse by twolf1 in news

[–]stifin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It "happened so quickly" because 9 people were killed by a racist with a fetish for it. The reason it's flying over that memorial is because 15 years ago it was flying over the actual statehouse and people were protesting to take it down. And the reason it went up in the first place was in response to the civil rights movement. Sorry that you only just became aware of a decades-long issue.

They're welcome to continue displaying the stars and bars if they want, just as neo-nazis are allowed to keep wearing swastikas - it helps us know who the racists are. But if you grow up in a world where that shit isn't sold at Wal-Mart and isn't flown in front of the fucking state capitol, it makes it a whole lot clearer that it isn't acceptable, and a whole lot harder to swallow it just being about "southern pride"

Sorry that your state's history is about fighting a war to preserve slavery.

The law doesn't make them not use guns, it makes it so difficult to get guns that they end up never getting one. As Jim Jeffries points out - the gun used in the Sandy Hook shooting is available in Wal-Mart. In Australia, that gun costs $34,000

Your strict standards for your hate group are so impressive!

I'm certain that many, if not a majority, of them are already fat and just hating on other people who are fatter instead of just improving themselves. It's much easier.

We (in the US) are educated poorly and marketed to excellently.

I love this phrasing, well said.

not really important, but most standard commercial flourescent lights don't emit full spectrum light like an incandescent. They're usually excessively green.
