Gaf is a bunch of people locked up in the arse end of the internet, terrified of all the bad things lurking just outside their safe hidey hole. Slowly driving themselves mad and working themselves up into a froth.

Its like The Mist, except instead of the fear of running into giant spiders it's the fear of running into somebody with a slightly different world view then theirs.

How exactly does it sound like bait? I am asking you how the country addressed the confederacy not how it addressed inequality.

Where did I attack you, what are you talking about?

My question was quite straight forward. "Where did I attack you, what are you talking about?"

So do you still think Man in the High Castle an apt comparison?

You seem to think I did, so by all means point out exactly where I was attacking you.

I asked you a simple question and nothing more, yet my "tone" made you think I was baiting you? Yeah I am sure it was my "tone" that you have issue with.

The only person doing the accusing is you. There was clearly no "tone" to my posts yet I am somehow bating you? You okay am I sure my "tone" was the issue. Anyway I am done responding to this nonsense.

The thirst is real.     Just kiss him already Enzom!!!



The only thing that bothers me about the criticism of Confederate is the idea that people who watch the show want to see that dystopia come to pass.  What then do they think of people who read/watch A Handmaid's Tale, 1984, Brave New World, The Road and yes, even The Man in the High Castle?  Am I a misogynist, authoritarian fascist, eugenicist who  desires  the apocalypse?  Oh, and Nazi's.

And "go look YouTube tutorials".

Of all the random things to dream of had one about this OP. Proved all the cynics wrong. Somehow this was conveyed in flashback form while swimming in an underwater brewery.

[counterhit]

Without being that familiar with Fantano, the article comes across as dishonest in the parts I can recognize. Sam Hyde leans heavily alt-right and probably guilty of a lot of things he gets accused of (so say what you will about Fantano's choice of company, comedic intent aside), but it's weird how the author purposefully cut out details about the beating up Lena Dunham joke and then openly wondered what the joke was. The whole point is that he keeps saying "in a defensive situation", against Lena Dunham no less, to evoke the violent "stand your ground" type fantasies, which he goes on to detail in psychopathic detail as those type of fantasies go to make it weird and uncomfortable. He's done this joke a bunch of times it seems, which is kind of lame in its own right. In addition to leaving out that detail, the author seems to randomly call it a rape joke. The author's following point doesn't really change by distorting what Hyde said (and Hyde is pretty alt-right), so I have no idea why he would do it. One other thing I saw was in the reference of the Sulkowicz / "Mattress Girl" case, where he jumps straight into using Returnofkings as the source of disbelief, when that whole case (and Title IX) was very controversial from the start. Again, more or less unnecessary for his overall point.

I saw someone defending Fantano on GAF. I don't know what to make of it, but I do find the article annoying.

[benjipwns]

Am I a misogynist, authoritarian fascist, eugenicist who  desires  the apocalypse?  Oh, and Nazi's.

If you have to ask..

I must be living in an alt-right bubble, because I never encounter anyone IRL that act like people on GAF. Well, maybe some of my sister's friends, but I have close to zero contact with them.

You'd be hard-pressed to find people like on GAF through your normal life, even some of the more political activists that spawn "triggered" memes don't match whatever type of vibe that's on GAF.  It's weird.

Students affiliated with the Black Lives Matter movement crashed an event at the College of William & Mary, rushed the stage, and prevented the invited guest—the American Civil Liberties Union's Claire Gastañaga, a W & M alum—from speaking.

Gastañaga had intended to speak on the subject, "Students and the First Amendment."

The disruption was livestreamed on BLM at W&M's Facebook page. Students took to the stage just a few moments after Gastañaga began her remarks. At first, she attempted to spin the demonstration as a welcome example of the kind of thing she had come to campus to discuss, commenting "Good, I like this," as they lined up and raised their signs. "I'm going to talk to you about knowing your rights, and protests and demonstrations, which this illustrates very well. Then I'm going to respond to questions from the moderators, and then questions from the audience."

It was the last remark she was able to make before protesters drowned her out with cries of, "ACLU, you protect Hitler, too." They also chanted, "the oppressed are not impressed," "shame, shame, shame, shame," "blood on your hands," "the revolution will not uphold the Constitution," and, uh, "liberalism is white supremacy."

Twenty minutes into the protest, AMP Director of Internal Affairs Hasini Bandara ’18 approached the group with a microphone and gave members an opportunity to read their prepared statement.

In the statement, BLM criticized the ACLU’s approach to white supremacy in regard to the white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, suggesting that the organization provides an unnecessary platform for white supremacists.

“When is the free speech of the oppressed protected?” a BLM group representative asked. “We know from personal experience that rights granted to wealthy, white, cis, male, straight bodies do not trickle down to marginalized groups. We face greater barriers and consequences for speaking.”

After reading the statement aloud, the group’s representative took her place back in line, and the protesters continued to chant.

Organizers then canceled the event; some members of the audience approached the podium in an attempt to speak with Gastañaga, but the protesters would not permit it. They surrounded Gastañaga, raised their voices even louder, and drove everybody else away.

The college released a statement:

William & Mary has a powerful commitment to the free play of ideas. We have a campus where respectful dialogue, especially in disagreement, is encouraged so that we can listen and learn from views that differ from our own, so that we can freely express our own views, and so that debate can occur. Unfortunately, that type of exchange was unable to take place Wednesday night when an event to discuss a very important matter – the meaning of the First Amendment — could not be held as planned. …

Silencing certain voices in order to advance the cause of others is not acceptable in our community. This stifles debate and prevents those who've come to hear a speaker, our students in particular, from asking questions, often hard questions, and from engaging in debate where the strength of ideas, not the power of shouting, is the currency. William & Mary must be a campus that welcomes difficult conversations, honest debate and civil dialogue.

Although the protesters identified themselves as merely “concerned students,” the College’s BLM chapter took credit on its Facebook page through a livestream of the event, as well as a written post stating, “Tonight, we shut down an event at William & Mary where Claire Gastañaga, executive director of the ACLU of Virginia, was speaking. In contrast to the ACLU, we want to reaffirm our position of zero tolerance for white supremacy no matter what form it decides to masquerade in.”

The fact that slowly but surely "low difficulty" is becoming synonymous with "inclusive" and "high difficulty" with "exclusionary" convinces me I'm in a nightmare dystopian world that is about to reveal itself.

TIL that because I think Ninja Gaiden Black is the best action game, Dark Souls is the best series out there right now, and Halo plays best on Heroic or above, I'm basically a member of the KKK.

The oppressed are not impressed.

You know, IRL, I've never met any people like Social Studies Warrior Gaffers, nor have I met any alt-right people who only speak in memes.

Even when you add the anonymity of the internet to the equation GAF still has some amazingly freaky people.

You’re arguing semantics. The game’s easiest difficulty with all auto mods on, which was how I played, means that I literally could have just done nothing during most encounters and still beat the game. I could have put the controller down and watched the game play itself. I don’t see how that’s really any different than just having a “skip” button.

Holy christ I hate this guy.

There's nothing wrong with playing a game on easy as long as you enjoy it. But wanting large sections of games to "play themselves" because you can't be arsed to do so yourself is insane to me. Just watch a let's play instead of putting down 60 bucks. Why even bother with videogames?

I mean, FFXII did it, and it didn't even have an easy mode

FFXII is pretty easy, at least the main game.

Still, even auto-battle is not something thats handed to you. You have to plan out the Gambits and plenty of times your gambit strategy's may not adapt to the current situation. The game plays itself yes, but I guess it's kind of like in Civilization where a tell the parts to do what I want and then they do the moving.

[agrajag]

As they like to say on GAF: "play shitty games, win stupid prizes." She could put a little more thought into her writing than describing things as "fucked up" in her paper. It's a college essay not a low effort forum shitpost.

This thread went fast... wow.

Okay, so it looks like I'm in the wrong, but, this doesn't explain why I need to censor myself as a writer. Maybe I'm simply unfiltered but I think that's a good thing, I figured in high school you'd avoid that, but in college you're an adult, you can freely write how you want and get your opinions across without having to worry if you tailor it to whoever is reading it, since it's your work. Maybe I'm getting angry about nothing however I don't understand how your choice of language is something you can be penalized for. I re-read the essay and admittedly I recognize some things that could be fixed but even with that scrutiny and barring in mind this isn't my writing course a B seems perfectly fair. Have a read but I know I'm about to get dogged on like crazy regardless. No, I'll just post the relevant uses of swears. It's partially too personally and I'm not rewriting the damn thing.

"Watching the film was really sad, quite morbid, fucked up, and too close to home"

"It went from "I don't care about you" to "fuck you" and I still feel that
way to this day"

"They're awful, sickening, fucked realities"

"The emotional problems my REDACTED still suffers from REDACTED, I've came to the point
where if REDACTED REDACTED died today, right now, I wouldn't give a shit"

"Apologizes that are all bullshit and
emotions that end up with the person hurting more and more"

Hey Bukowski, you're writing an essay on elderly abuse for a college class, not a GAF post where you write "Fuck XYZ" to show everyone how much you care.

This is the funniest shit I've read in a while. God I hope the full thing, because I'm positive the rest of it is just as terrible

Don't complain because you got a bad mark because you wrote a bad essay full of swearing while you were drunk and try to pass it off as your teacher censoring your artistic voice or some other bullshit.

Application of Sparse-Coding Super-Fucking-Resolution to Goddamned 16-Bit DICOM Images for Improving the Shitty Image Resolution in MRI

Junko Ota, Kensuke Umehara, Naoki Ishimaru, Takayuki Ishida
Department of Medical Physics and Engineering, Graduate School of Medicine, Osaka University, Suita, Japan

ABSTRACT

Purpose: To improve the shitty image resolution of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), conventional crappy interpolation methods are commonly used to magnify fucked up images via various shitty image processing approaches; however, these fucked up methods tend to produce assy artifacts. While super-resolution (SR) schemes have been introduced as a damn hell ass bitch fart boogers pussy alternative approach to apply medical imaging, previous studies applied SR only to medical images in 8-bit image format.

real thing you should have learned today is how different professors (or instructors since this is 100 level) have different standards

is the whole thing or most of it anywhere in the thread, especially after they said it took two hours while drunk ... because two hours while "drunk" to me means a seven page paper that's really loose with the citations and a little less burying opinion in academicese mush

I already see a therapist weekly and am on 2 different anti-depressent drugs. I'm not employed due to my OCD being bad enough I'm trying to apply for disability at 20 and feel like complete garbage about it even though it's completely reasonable, I just view myself how society sees me and I see a worthless person though I'm not.

I completely get it though. I expect everyone I know to hate my first pieces of music I'm willing to create. I just genuinely thought writing was one of my strong points and apparently it's not which just made me feel completely useless. I know I have to take this criticism and use it to my advantage. It's just... really hard right now. I've never experienced this much feedback this fast.
