VOAT Containment Megathread of Trash People for Trash People

I wonder if he kept Lincoln's desk, I read he was going to somewhere. I'd select Wilson's desk (W's choice IIRC) and have it broken up and put through a woodchipper.

[benjipwns]

Nixon used this desk both as Vice President and President as he believed it was used by Woodrow Wilson. In actuality the desk was not used by Woodrow Wilson nor by former Vice President of the United States Henry Wilson which was later suggested.

The number of people in this thread that are OK and even support this action is pretty alarming.

There is nothing positive about this video. Richard Spencer is a disgusting prick. That doesn't give anyone the right to commit random acts of violence upon him.

The number of people comparing this act to World War 2 and fighting the Nazis is ridiculous. Richard Spencer holds Nazi ideals, but that's all he has. Ideas. That's all he does - talk. He isn't killing people, attacking people, or commiting violent physical acts. This isn't right. It's not OK to randomly attack people, even if they hold morally reprehensible ideas.

Only someone on neogaf would defend someone engaging in the finest American tradition of fucking Nazis up.

Some people struggle with how the sympathy game on GAF works. It is only rewarded when you do it in support of the politics of the group thinkers.

With that said, I'm with em on this, fuck that dude. Nice right hook!

Holy shit, what the fuck am I reading? You gotta check this out:

When people wonder why black people get so upset over white society at large having zero empathy or clue about the struggles of being a minority I immediately think of this clip. Now, if you don't remember (because why the fuck should you remember that 15 minute of fame new story) there was an American dentist that killed Cecil the Lion, a lion who had been tracked and researched by scientists for years. He did it while out on a hunt (possibly illegally) in Zimbabwe and ended up shooting the lion, who of course, he had no idea was so important and famous. Cue media outrage, especially by white folks, that demanded this "monster" be skinned alive and so on and so on.

Enter Jimmy Kimmel, who was so moved by the incident that he took time out of his show to do a segment on the whole incident. So concerned was he by this noble beast's plight that he actually choked up after nearly finishing the segment, ending it with a plug for donations to the wildlife research center.

Jimmy Kimmel on the Killing of Cecil the Lion

But, what the fuck does this have to do with anything? Why are you giving side eye to a man showing empathy for an animal? Heh, I'm not upset that the man is crying over a lion, it actually was a sad incident. No, I was upset because it was and still is the perfect representation of a black person's (or any minority's) life in our society. Jimmy Kimmel took damn near FIVE fucking minutes out of his show to cry on camera about a fucking lion complete with a plug for donations. But, where was Kimmel when Trayvon Martin died? Where were his tears for Eric Garner? Tamir Rice? Michael Brown? Freddie Gray? I'll make it easy for you, there weren't any, not on camera at least. They were never mentioned on his show. And, there DAMN sure weren't any plugs for donations to any civil rights fund.

I don't expect Kimmel, a damn late night comedian, to get involved in heavy issues, crying and pleading in front of a camera for support. But, the fact of the matter is that he chose, on his own, to get involved in this very specific issue. And, when you do that you best be prepared to answer for why THIS TIME was different. Why this time you had to break your silence over a damn lion and not human beings.

What say you, GAF?

Comparing Cecil the lion with Trayvon Martin?!?! Their identity politics ramblings keep getting dumber and dumber.

But see: Black folks are treated lower than animals! It can't just be that Kimmel picks and chooses what he puts on his show!

I mean I get their/OP's outrage about it and think it's pretty dumb that he would do a bit about a Lion and not a bit about "#blacklivesmatter"/police force issues. But I already know TV show hosts and their writing staff will pick bits that they think will keep their audience. Kimmel doing a police thing wouldn't test with his audience, I feel.

the best part of the cecil the lion crap were Zimbabweans  telling white people to go fuck themselves

We Zimbabweans are left shaking our heads, wondering why Americans care more about African animals than about African people.

Don’t tell us what to do with our animals when you allowed your own mountain lions to be hunted to near extinction in the eastern United States. Don’t bemoan the clear-cutting of our forests when you turned yours into concrete jungles.

And please, don’t offer me condolences about Cecil unless you’re also willing to offer me condolences for villagers killed or left hungry by his brethren, by political violence, or by hunger.

Slate-pitch: The relative disinterest among certain circles (MILLENIALS?!?) in the past two Presidents deciding its okay to hold people definitely without trial, to deport people to be tortured when not doing it themselves, to establish secret court systems, to claim the authority to murder American citizens without due process (and then one of them actually doing that), to engage in unrestricted global warfare without Congressional authorization, to manipulate and use intelligence for achieving domestic political goals, to back horrific states as great new allies until we suddenly turn on them (see: Libya), etc. Or even, their active defense of all of this and attacks on any criticism of it. (Some PoliGAFers claimed Obama claiming the authority to murder citizens without due process to "not be a real issue" since it'll never happen to me or anyone who's not a terrorist.)

But the guy who called hispanics murderers and rapists, suggested you grab women by the pussy and attacked his political opponents during a campaign is literally Hitler reincarnated, we probably won't have elections by 2020, we need to start violent revolution, a putsch is about to happen any day now, the military is going to be in parades, etc.

LA protests were passionate but civil.  The morning protest was big but the rain was really heavy and kept a lot of people away.  I went back to the hotel room to change and crash.  The rain stopped by around 4:30 so I went back out to get food but took my camera with me because I had a feeling.  Sure enough about 10 minutes later I heard chanting and saw a group of around 200 protesters coming down Broadway, heading in my direction.  They were peaceful but would block traffic at intersections for a couple of minutes and then move on.  I'd say the vast majority of bystanders were supportive.  I joined up and walked with them for about 20 minutes but split off when they headed off of the main streets.  They were obviously headed to city hall so I went back to the streets I knew and caught up with them later.  The cops started shadowing them in cars and a helicopter but never tried to interfere.  There were a bunch of officers waiting at city hall along with news crews.  Some of the group blocked the street in front of city hall and others stuck to the sidewalks and front steps of the building. 

After what amounted to a 30 min standoff between the cops and the people blocking the street the cops started telling the news crews to move their vehicles.  Then a pickup truck with what appeared to be an LRAD or ADS device showed up and that kind of pissed me off, because by this point there were maybe only around 20 people in the street and wheeling out military grade crowd control shit was a real overreaction.  Apparently the LAPD agreed because the LRAD truck disappeared a few minutes after it arrived and they just let the crowd keep going.  One of the protest leaders eventually got on his bullhorn and said if they stayed in the street they'd probably get arrested and that it wasn't worth it yet,  so the street cleared and the protests continued on the sidewalk.  Cooler heads prevailed.  That said, there's a lot of anger in the air and the big 70,000 person march is tomorrow.

Social events are so uncomfortable

I don't like to categorize myself as an introvert because I have used that as an excuse to negatively isolate myself. However, I just cannot seem to function well in groups of more than 4 people or so. Who do I talk to? What do I talk about? Small talk sucks.

I feel so strange because I would rather sit around a table and talk about real things. Religion, politics, love, relationships, personal struggles, and video games lol.

I have more friends than I have had in a while and love them dearly and try to make it known to them. However, I don't know how to "hang out." Most public gatherings are in a noisy environment and I can't even think straight. My mind shuts down and would rather go home. I struggle with wanting to bail on social gatherings almost every time before I leave for the event.

Anyone relate to this and have wisdom/experience to impart? Is it important to keep doing it despite my lack of enjoyment or is it okay to just be me and hang out with my wife in quiet solitude? Lol

I don't know why people always want to hang out with me. I see no appeal from their point of view. I go cuz I love seeing people I love enjoy themselves, but I just don't understand it on a personal level.

Is 3DS > Switch the largest generational graphics power leap?

I think it is generally accepted that going from one generation to the next you will see around 6-10x the raw power of the previous generations console (based on what I've picked up around similar discussions).

The switch on the other hand does around 156 Gflops in handheld mode (based on Eurogamer clocks). And then based on this website (of which I had a bit of issue verifying the veracity of) the 3DS GPU is 4.8 gflops.

Going from 4.8 to 156 is a 32.5x increase in raw GPU power (ignoring all architectural advantages) and it goes even higher if you include the docked mode at 384 GF this puts it at a solid 80x the raw power.

Sampling some random numbers from the previous GPU gflop site nothing even comes close to an 80x multiplier. PS2 > PS3 though seems to be slightly higher than the 3DS > Switch portable mode but doesn't touch the dock. Is there a jump I'm missing here? If not I think that's a pretty impressive thing and a neat little tidbit about the switch.

I have a feeling a lot of these people on GAF will be genuinely disappointed when Trump doesn't go full Hitler. They've built him up as the ultimate, ultimate evil who is going to end the world that they're not going to know how to react when it turns out everything he does will be based on his approval rating because he's a vain idiot who just wants everyone to like him.

You'd think so, but conservatives despised/feared Obama right up until the very end.

Amusingly even /pol/ hates Richard Spencer. The whole alt right thing is so nebulous. Assange flips from being hero to enemy and vice versa merely by what some new leak reveals.

the alt right sends Milo hate and threats as well

I have to assume the press aren't so distinguished mentally-challenged that they had no idea of the very internet-ish nature of the alt-right would make it nebulous and a mixed, trolly bunch of people, but Hidlog decided to put the spotlight on them, and the press needed to back up the idea so the focused on the Richard Spencers and White Identity people. They ignored every other element, because it would involve explaining things that tear down a lot of the media bullshit.

But then that approach just propped up racists and probably helped them out more than anything. Just irresponsible all around.

It baffles me how little people understand of the internet troll nebula(or pretend not to), especially since the generation we're talking about spends way more time online than I ever did in IRC as a kid.

That's the Bobby Roberts way.

[helios]

This is what I'm getting at when I talk about how you guys keep consistently misusing the term fanservice.

fanservice only exists for the sake of itself. There is no "good version" of fanservice. It's an inherently negative term. References, tie-ins, callbacks - there can be good versions of all these things, fun, harmless, helpful, organic to the story. It's when any of those things become intrusive, stupid, and call attention to themselves, exposing that the only reason they're present is solely to call attention to themselves, that they become "fanservice."

So often people up in here slap down the term "fanservice" and what they're really saying isn't "this reference didn't work" or "this callback stopped the movie cold" because what they're attempting to criticize didn't actually do any of that shit. What they're really saying when they cough up "fanservice" is closer to "I recognized a thing and therefore, by dint of my simply recognizing it at all, it's automatically bullshit." Which mostly serves the annoying function of further widening the definition of "fanservice" to include things that simply fired a synapse in your head.

It's like this weird simultaneous back-pat and self-shade. "HA, look at me, I noticed an obvious thing. And since I noticed it, it must be fucking stupid, because if you put something in there so dumb that even I could catch it so easily, you didn't do it right, obviously."

Like, who are you really fuckin' criticizing there?

Fanservice is Bobby's trigger.
