Shinobi Vs Dragon ninja was and is an absolute masterpiece. Sadly I don’t want to listen to it any more as Ian has ruined any joy I could get out of listening to it since the news of his abhorrent dealings came out.
His password was “IFUCKKIDZ” spelled as indicated. That’s the disturbing part, it’s like internally, he was proud of it. No shame.
If you ever watched Chris Hansen’s old To Catch A Predator series, or his new series, these guys usually find a way to delude themselves into thinking they’re not the way they are, or that they’re somehow helping the victim, and I can only assume they lie to themselves because they know what they are doing is wrong and feel some shame.
Not Ian Watkins. He was proud of it. Ugh. Later in the video, after the password, you find out he even bragged about it. I had to stop there, I couldn’t even finish the video (linked by OP in comment).
Yeah. Charlie “Normie Jesus” Moistcritical is not the best person to look to for takes on nuanced situations. But he is of the age to have grown up loving lostprophets and did a REALLY good video summarizing how massively fucked up an evil all of this is.
Like, most 80s bands have blatant pedophiles involved. And as much as I love the lead singer on twitter, Eve 6 has some fucked up stories associated with them. But all of this is “normal” carnie/musician bullshit. ian watkins is on a completely different levels of evil.
Some bands and artists you try to ignore the “controversy” in favor of separating the art from the artist. Others are so massively fucked up that you fundamentally cannot.
Oh dear, I don’t know any of the Eve6 controversy… Nothing on Wikipedia for the band, and a quick Google search just gives results about them boycotting Spotify. What should I be looking for?
Yeah the people on “to catch a predator” are disgusting, but there is a difference between “trying to seduce an underage girl into sex” and “raping a literal baby.” He’s on another level of being the worst version of a human being
It is generally considered rude to tell people to g! it themselves. Perhaps that was your intent but I hope you're a bigger person than that and it was unintentional.
Social media is for conversations. I think everyone knows how to search the interwebs.
No, it was fully intentionally. I hate when people do “tldr”, because I consider that rude. Rudeness in, rudeness out. I went to the effort to find and link a video explaining what this dude did, only to get told it was too much effort to watch.
I agree with you, I hate it when people expect easily findable information to be spoon fed to them. It would be one thing if they were asking to have special relativity explained to them, but this was just laziness.
It’s never gonna happen. At most he’ll become bogged down in lawsuits and charges till he dies. But there’s no way they’ll ever allow a u.s president to set foot in jail
This stupid cuck is going to jail 100% if he does not win the next presidential election. Our legal system can be pretty fucked up sometimes but it’s not that fucked up, this guy literally tried to overthrow our democracy.
I’m not saying he’s not going to jail, but I am saying our system is absolutely fucked. This dude is free years after openly trying to overthrow our democratic processes. The most blatant example (Georgia) isn’t even one of the indictments he’s currently facing.
I was told in my local pub yesterday that someone with a criminal record can still be president. But I’m British, and drink with people who chat shit. The landlord in said pub also said that Oceangate was eaten by a megalodon, and landlords like to chat shit.
Someone who is literally in jail can become President, technically. What the day-to-day reality of that would be, I’ve no clue. But it’s technically possible, and we’ve had people (most notably Eugene Debs) run from behind bars.
Theoretically, on the federal charges, but not any state charges (such as the ones expected to be brought in Georgia)
Of course, a self-pardon has never been tested, and while the composition of the Supreme Court should be favorable to him doing so, it’s not guaranteed that they would actually be on board. There would be a constitutional crisis if he tried to self-pardon, and the Supreme Court ruled that he could not (which could be nearly solved by impeachment of either the President or various Justices, but that will not happen under the present dysfunction of the Senate)
Lmao the sheer projection in bringing ukraine into this when Trump literally blackmailed them and broke the law to try to score political points. Straight up traitor
I traveled through Oregon in June and didn’t know about this law. I pumped my own gas in Astoria, Portland, and another place and no one stopped me. No one came out to pump my gas either.
I’ve been to Portland 3x and nobody has ever stopped me from pumping my own gas. I’ve definitely interacted with attendants inside prior to gassing up as well. Wonder if it’s due to the Canadian license plates/accent?
Oh are one of those types that also shits on Bernie for owning three homes, even though one is a modest D.C. two bedroom, their family home on a very regular, average suburban road, probably 2,000 square feet, and the third a small lakeside cabin his wife inherited from her father, and where he hangs out with his like 15 grandkids?
Dude had to write like five best selling books and be in the Senate for 100 years before he made $1,000,000 dollars, even though insider trading is legal for members of Congress.
Omg, he formed an LLC to publish his books and pay a personal assistant. What a controversy! /s
Trying to portray the one honest Senator in D.C. as a hypocrite, you’d have be to a real know-nothing.
Oh please, now you’re going back to the card Thomas played when Anita Hill told the truth about him. Demanding we give someone a pass on douchebaggery and corruption because God forbid we hold a black man accountable is racist. Not as racist as the killing of George Floyd, or the innumerable events that comprise systemic racism, but letting Justice Thomas corrupt the Court doesn’t do one thing to ameliorate any of that. Not that he cares. He’d throw Rosa Parks under the bus in a heartbeat.
There are confirmation hearings and supposed investigations before these judges were appointed. Whoever did the investigation failed and should be fired as well as their bosses.
I’m sure that pretty much no Google employee is happy with this. But it’s the classic “I don’t want to lose my place near the top of the industry which I’ve spend my entire life getting to, so I can’t criticize my employer or the direction the industry is going in any way.” Self policing and going along with whatever the man decides so you don’t lose your job and means of supporting yourself and your family. Same with a lot of the people working on the Web Integrity thing I imagine.
There are a lot of different places in the industry where these Google developers could work. I am employed by a company where developers have flexible schedules, no overtime work (except in unusual circumstances), and three days a week of work-from-home. The catch is that my company pays a lot less than Google does - still enough for an upper-middle-class lifestyle, but less. So our developers tend to be people who have children and want to spend more time with their families, and they’re willing to take a pay cut to do that. For the sort of person who has the option of working at Google, “supporting your family” means working less, not more.
Google’s developers are people who prefer higher pay and/or a more fast-paced environment. They might not like this policy, but they don’t want to leave. They could if they wanted to.
“what it is today” a tax-evading, weapons-manufacturing, privacy-invading, wannabe monopoly, that’s continually fucking up their core products and radicalizing people into the far right for profit?
ya gotta agree at least significant parts of those workers’ brains are dead
