guys i checked out North Korea, everything is fine!  I didn't see any death camps and all the people were really happy!  They live a very frugal life there and most people just wear blank expressions or smile!  It's their government that's completely crazy. I'm not gonna even attempt to connect those 2 facts I just listed!  Now check out these pics that everyone else also took on their visits, complete with the struggle banquet.

Pyongyang isn't as poor as I imagined, no. It's also the elite and richest part of NK but I imagined it to be much more run down and poorer looking similar to other poor Asian countries. It has beer, it has coke and other sodas

To be fair, we all tend to trust and generalize our anecdotal first hand experiences... But stuff like

If you're wondering if our hotel rooms were bugged, yes, they were. However, we were told they really only bug them for diplomats and important people and probably don't even have them turned on for us.

The country seems to happily endorse eugenics too. There is in fact a religious political party in North Korea who are run by actual Buddhist monks. The problem is the monks aren't allowed to preach, aren't allowed to leave certain areas, and are never allowed to marry or have kids. So while technically the political party does exist it's been oppressed into literal oblivion and the monks will eventually die out. There are only a hand full left that live there and seem to have accepted their fate. Not like they have a choice.

So you're telling me these Buddhist monks can't celebrate holidays with the public and recruit new people into the religion? Eesh.

Women in NK generally know and understand things more than men who are more of the followers and sheep. While women don't outwardly say this, the guide told us about it. Miss Puk even knew about other countries and expressed wanting to visit Australia one day.

Good job telling her name and occupation so she can be room 101'd.

Unless the monkeys were allowed to procreate and evolved into humans, they would not create anything even slightly intelligible using a typewriter, even given an infinite amount of time.

A true random character generator would have a far better chance, given infinity.

NK thread is not remotely surprising. I remember awhile back some dude posted something along the lines of "How do we know it's so awful there?

Tasty, people who don't care about the loss of the headphone jack don't have badass amazing headphones that are wired.  I have a set of M50s I've been using for over 10 years (on my 2nd pair now) and they are the best headphones I've ever used.  I'm not getting any iphone where I can't use them.  It's a dealbreaker.

On the other end of the spectrum are people like me who don't care about audio quality but want to only have one set of headphones for everything. In which case a lightning headphone is the most useless way to do it since that port isn't even on macbook pros. How do I recommend anyone get an iPhone and macbook combo when you'd either have to spend way too much for mediocre wireless headphones that you have to remember to charge or carry two sets of wired ones?

I really don't mind if they dropped the headphone jack and just went to USB-C so that inevitably our future laptops have compatibility with it (don't think any have micro sized usb ports atm) but they went with a standard that's too proprietary to work with their own laptops.

People use it a lot in the Steam thread, with others like GoG and Uplay or Origin using it now and then for Humbles from there. Console folks haven't learned the glory of it. But that's because they can't give away things digitally.

Outside of that, it's anonymous moderation yeah. But Stump maintains it and had to graft it onto the board/database to do these functions. Modbot can't handle the PM load to where Stump had to make "modbot2/modbot3" as accounts to keep up with the PM's for giveaways.

Compared to absolutely every other Hillary stumble/scandal/screwup of the campaign that I'm likely to panic about, I'm taking the Deplorables thing as almost a non-thing. This is not logical.

I realized it's Gamergate. I'm too used to the alt-right crap. I know the lingo, I know the memes, I know their typical tactics, fucking Pepe, I know their preferred language and attack methods. It's not at all new to me for these people to be flagged as all-around miserable human beings. No irony needed, no exaggerations, it's simply a factual statement to me.

The average voter has no freaking clue how awful that segment of the Trump base is. Like nooooooo clue. Hell, I'd say even the more casual poster or lurker here doesn't know how deep this goes. Even if you sat them down to explain it and showed them all the receipts, they'd never think there could be people that downright terrible floating around that are allowed to vote. The more it gets exposed, the more it'll click with people. One of the most predictable tendencies of the alt-right is for it make complete fools of themselves, and, lo and behold, they're already making a lovely effort of that. Even better, they're proud of themselves! The reaction on Reddit was proof--On Sunday the dominant discussion was Hillary's health and not the thing she said that, one would think, would infuriate them all.

So explaining this concept to my parents and some friends have them confused. They're all in a panic. The media lacks the perspective, too. People say her statement was too broad or a gaffe, but it was quite careful. Even the non-apology clarification was that she didn't mean half; She still entirely meant what she said at its core. Even if Hillary herself and the campaign don't understand it, they said the absolute perfect thing. It just needs a bit more time to play out. Even without her campaigning for a few days it's already started to turn around.

Here’s the short version: Pepe is a cartoon frog who began his internet life as an innocent meme enjoyed by teenagers and pop stars alike.

But in recent months, Pepe’s been almost entirely co-opted by the white supremacists who call themselves the “alt-right.” They’ve decided to take back Pepe by adding swastikas and other symbols of anti-semitism and white supremacy.

A more burning question to me is why people insist on calling racists "alt-right" instead of fascists. Why the euphemism?

Because you don't know what fascism means?
