It's called supper. Dinner maybe. Tea if you're posh. Your "evening meal"? We have words for that, you polyglottal swine. Maybe if you spent less time speaking ching chong "Chinese" and ayudame "Espanol" you'd know that.

This is the man who broke the Snowden story. The gay jedi man, living with his gay husband, raising multi-ethnic children in Brazil, under Bolsonaro (to whose regime Greenwald's work as an investigative journalist poses a threat, which is a threat reciprocated in the form of a persistent credible threat to Greenwald's life). This is the poster boy for Good Journalism™ and Good Democrats™.
The final, precipitating cause is that The Intercept’s editors, in violation of my contractual right of editorial freedom, censored an article I wrote this week, refusing to publish it unless I remove all sections critical of Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, the candidate vehemently supported by all New-York-based Intercept editors involved in this effort at suppression.
The tragic irony? He was a co-founder of the outlet, which was founded with the express intent of not allowing this exact kind of thing to happen to its journalists.
Plenty of journalists for other mainstream publications have pointed out on Twitter that this article does not differ substantially (with regard to its worthiness of hitting the presses) from their own articles on the subject.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Male logic is the stupidest fucking myth ever devised. Men just make their horrible decisions based off a different set of emotions... maybe. Men are absolutely not guided by cool, detached logic though, either in general or in politics. I wish dudes would stop pretending they're somehow better at decision making. Their decisions are frequently influenced to the extreme by anger, hate, romantic ideals of honor/respect (or being disrespected), and of course they will say and do a lot of dumb shit for a chance at pussy.
Look at the population of every jail in every country across the world and tell me about how men are society's greatest decision makers. Fucking morons, the lot of you. Testosteroni is a hell of a pepperoni. Kill yourself.

I've always had mixed feelings about The Intercept. On one side they run some very interesting stories that are ignored by the mainstream and GG was one of the few who actually tried to help Assange.
On the other, the man behind the curtain (look him up) has very obvious political and ideological goals, and you can see most of the writers pushing them day in and day out. It seems to me that the 'important' stories are meant to draw a certain kind of people to the site in order to 'convert' them
For all I respect his dedication to his ideals in that he quit when he was finally censored, he paints a fairly clear picture that he was willing to tolerate the direction The Intercept had taken so long as it didn't come to directly impact his work. He's not even remotely free of sin in how things turned out. It's still sad though. Greenwald is, at least on the face of things, the embodiment of most qualities which journalists should aspire to.
On the bright side, at least he won't be part of The Intercept anymore and is free to pursue his stories as he sees fit.
By man behind the curtain, do you mean Omidyar? Seems like literally every other silicon valley guy to ever exist.

You big, strong, smart men had more important things to do than the menial work of crunching numbers. Probably had some people to go shoot in the street for having offended you, as honor dictated.

Yes, but not because they're women. Women's suffrage was only a mistake because universal suffrage is a mistake. The vast majority of people shouldn't be able to vote, myself included/especially.

I feel ya, OP. I dunno. Don't commit public transport anyway. I used to be the kind of person who'd put a lot of effort into trying to convince folks why bus travel was a bad idea, but I don't have the energy anymore. Truth is life's probably not going to get much more fulfilling if you're not the kind of person who can easily distract yourself or just enjoy the ride for the ride's sake. Hope you have some kind of radical epiphany and recalibrate your outlook on life, but barring that there's probably no changing that you're just going to be grinding out another 50 meaningless years of existence.
I think this is the part where you're supposed to start panicking and get some chick pregnant and get so distracted providing for your family that you essentially pass the buck onto your child and they can deal with all of this themselves in 20-30 years. *shrug*

Excuse me? Dragging your starving malnourished child 1000s of miles to commit a crime is perfectly acceptable behavior and definitely not the kind of thing that would result in CPS taking your child from you if you were American.
