Sure there are statistical truths that suggest certain groups have a tendency to behave more poorly than others, but again, a view that the entirety of them is therefore 'bad' is fucking stupid.
Well I'm fine with most people as individuals. Just like I'm fine with most cars. That doesn't mean I want to play on the side of a highway. That is both common sense and prejudice. Racism is a pretty normal thing and I can think of a thousand evolutionary reasons for this. -

Originally posted by mmQ I concur. And to use a buzzword it really is a reflection of privilege. You're probably not going to change anyone's mind as those who look down on minorities tend to have a built in infrastructure that leads them to believe genetics are the sole factor in deciding who is 'better than' the next person.
Since we live in a time and age where certain groups have thrived and others have struggled, it's easier for those on the more fortunate side of the spectrum to decide that they are therefore superior to those who are less fortunate, for reasons such as 'they are worse than me because they allowed their country to turn into a shit-hole.' Everyone alive right now is a product of centuries of changes, rises and falls of groups, empires, governments, etc. To be born into this and suggest that you are automatically more entitled to anything is a max cringe viewpoint and usually a reflection of people who like to be angry and find reasons to victimize themselves.
It's almost pointless to try to debate genetics vs culture, it's a bit of both. It is undeniable that not all groups are created equal. Asians are a "minority" group that is extremely high achieving, same with jedis. It works both ways.

It's a problem when they steal from you, leech resources, and incite violence against you. You would be foolish not to exercise a bit of prejudice depending on the situation. -

Originally posted by mmQ I used to walk to the 7-11 at whatever odd hour of the night on the brink of being blacked out, buy the nachos and fill up the little container with chili cheese dip and then DEAD SPRINT home because I was so anxious to eat, on numerous occasions trying to run so fast that I got ahead of myself and just did a full on diving wipe out and spill my nacho cheese everywhere. Haha meme-ories
Did it never occur to you to eat and walk at the same time? -

Originally posted by littleasianlady Isn't that what the pizzagate conspiracy is?
No that's just to discredit it. The "real" conspiracy is subtle and not so subtle symbolism of the online accounts, art, and leaked communications. And also that many associate with pedophiles like Epstein. Their was other stuff like odd steganohraphy in some audio recordings. A server with some suspect things might have got exposed too. I forget all the details and never verified anything for myself. (((They))) shut it down pretty quick.
Never forget that CTR shills on /pol/ originally claimed the whole thing was manufactured by CTR shills to distract from the looming indictment. That was obviously a poor way to control the situation so now we have the fake news thing. -

Originally posted by Sophie Also Myers, i have no problem with you or anyone for that matter. I have a problem with people who exploit the system, don't respect the traditions and values of the western european countries and just shit all over the place while at the same time demand to get respect from us. I know you're a good guy, studying and all and i am sure your parents work hard for a living and actually contribute to the country as a whole. I have nop problem with those immigrants, as long as they respect my culture, values and country i will respect theirs, when this is not the case i will not. And i know not all Muslims have bad intentions but unfortunately it would appear the vast majority do have those intentions.
The problem is you can't judge 2 million people individually to decide if they are good people or not. And even if you could people are different in groups. It's not just muslims, it's anyone that has some minority status is considered to be sacred and can do no harm. And things just become more and more polarized as they get away with more and more. The biggest problem is letting people in unchecked, you get the situation you have now in Germany with muslims and in US with mexicans.
Anyway it's especially funny how the left pushes the idea that it's intolerant to want seperate cultures to remain seperate, and that tolerance is for all culture to meld into something bland and homogenous. -

Originally posted by reject Some people over here were petitioning that banning shrooms and LSD is against human rights. It got quite a lot of signatures if I recall
Of course it is, but then the only conclusion is that these types of laws hold no merit and that people will be complacent in violating your rights.
Might makes right. -

2016-12-11 at 5:44 AM UTC in Girl I've been seeing says she's pregnant.Lanny if anyones lives were ruined by this the blame is mutual. We put too much significance on human life anyway, whether it's good or bad, whether killing a fetus is acceptable or not, population too big, birth rates too low. It's just not worth worryin about.

2016-12-10 at 7:46 PM UTC in selling a (really shitty) website
Originally posted by Sophie 200 Bucks sounds pretty steep to me. Especially considering everyone and their mom can just get a domain for a couple of bucks, slap on some shitty CMS and call it a day.
Yeah that's a problem although the front end has some nifty features that would at the very least involve tracking down a ton of wordpress plugins. As it is now, it's a working site that will continuosly update without user intervention. Maybe I can sell it with the VPS so I don't need to worry about finding someone capable of redeploying on linux. That would expand the customer base a good bit to include people who are too lazy to make their own site. -
2016-12-10 at 7:26 PM UTC in selling a (really shitty) websiteI made a website in node just for kicks and with the thought if I got traffic make some extra money.
Now I'm sick of it and don't want to bother supporting it, but it seems a waste to just tear it down completely. The first iteration is deployed and I started working on a second version which would have moved a bunch of management tasks onto an admin panel. Right now it relies on a bunch of scripts to either scrape the information for a brand new page or scrape information to update pages. (Scrape isn't really the right word I am allowed to query this resource I'm getting data from).
The front end looks good, so whats the tech version of "as seen as sold"? I don't mind providing a text file explaining the management scripts (I already did this for myself). I absolutely don't want some fucker complaining that it's not what they expected etc. etc. Assuming that it won't be a top coder buying.
And will anyone even buy it without current revenue? I'm thinking ~$200 factoring in it's not a brand new domain anymore and ~10 views a day. How realistic is this? And no I'm not posting it here. -
