I don't even slightly follow American politics, but I take it this Mueller guy is a big deal

A bunch of people on ResetERA.com have avatars of him. So yes, he's expected to be in the next Smash Bros. Anime.

Good thing I m not a journo.

Have this:

I’m emotionally drained. It has been exhausting these past two years. I have little reason to believe Trump can be defeated. All the way down to his fucking diet. He never excercises, eats like a pig and is entirely healthy at 72. Nothing goes wrong with this asshole.

Can we put "Jeremy Clarkson" in the word filter?

[benjipwns]

Well, I think he's a decent player to bring off the bench to get buckets and create plays for a unit that can't. Even if he's probably not totally worth the contract the Lakers gave him.

At the very least, it's his job to inform the public of the facts surrounding the impeachment case, even if he shouldn't take one side.

Lawyer speak is beyond useless in that situation, where he's honestly making the public more uninformed.

Is a fucking ongoing investigation dumbass.

[Transhuman]

No, I only follow track and feild events like women's hurdles or women's pole vaulting. Also, the Heptathlon (women's).

[benjipwns]

Mueller shouldn't be making any comments regarding impeachment, he's not a member of the House (nor can he act in a capacity as a private citizen), he's an acting law enforcement official. The House is the sole arbiter of what rises to treason, bribery and other high crimes and misdemeanors in terms of impeachment.

The Democrats are already trying to quash talk of impeachment because it'd go nowhere, if Mueller came out and said there was no evidence of Trump doing anything worth charging, they would shut that shit down even harder except for the fringest of fringe members.

[benjipwns]

This is why more members there should work harder to learn how to read faster than people talk so they stop simmering in the slow boil of MSNBC and get into full blown Democratic Twitter addiction.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/muellers-office-says-buzzfeeds-characterization-of-the-documents-and-testimony-obtained-in-their-reporting-has-inaccuracies.94416/page-7

Did anyone really expect them to come out and say "yep BuzzFeed is 100% accurate, what they've reported is exactly what we've got". I'd say the article is around 95% accurate and more than likely one of the two law enforcement officials BuzzFeed used as a source got some minor details wrong and Muellers team is squashing that.

And making it sound like the entire article is false in the process.

I'm pretty sure the basic rule of poli era is to either be under the age of 16 or to have been eligible to vote in 2012 and not done so.

But now they can overcorrect and be fucking idiot a-wipes in politics.   

[benjipwns]

If purplegaf really wanted to be honest about the precursor of gamergate, they'd remember this thread which existed solely to mock the shit-tier journalistic integrity of the enthusiast press and many names you will still recognise from era posted within it.

Or perhaps it was even earlier than that, when the 'real press' guy exposed what he got as a swag bag from MS, where the enthusiast press who also all received free Xboxes and cat helmets didn't say shit to anyone because they were so accustomed to their little publisher freebies it didn't even cross their minds that a thing called conflict of interest exists.

Or earlier than that, the known fanboy journos ascending from press shills to actual pr shills at their favorite companies, and maybe ending up with important positions on actual dev teams for their favorite games luke smith frank o'connor.

but nah, we've always been at war with eurasia.

User warned for: vilifying journalism.

[benjipwns]

I bet if you read all 279 pages (two years) of that thread it'd be a real emotional rollercoaster since it seems to start with Dorito Pope and looking at the last page it actually ends because besada spun off a new GamerGate specific thread that then goes for 400 pages (two months) and someone asks "So this is still going on?" and someone else says "no."

[benjipwns]

There's also a helpful flow chart that actually makes no sense:

[Transhuman]

It's times like these I really miss 'Game Journalists are Incompetent Fuckwits'

[benjipwns]

I'll take this moment to remaster and update my most liked comment in the "original" GamerGate thread:

Game Informer has posted monthly pictures of their editors, former editors now PR and all the various people from a hundred companies partying and doing all sorts of other stuff in the start of their magazine for the last thirteen eighteen years.

User Banned (3 Days): Accusing others of xenophobia

Except Japan have a lot of derivative designs and creepy fanservice and they could take notes from the West on how to make distinctive and respectable character design.

Japanese devs have also created plenty of designs not like that. Your attitude is myopic and reeks just a bit of xenophobia.

I just had an amazing idea for a movie. Kevin Spacey plays a former actor who is in prison hospital facility specifically for criminals whose offences involves pedophilic urges. To escape, Spacey teaches 15 of his fellow inmates his world-renowned acting skills, and convinces the uptight and greedy prison warden to let them out under guarded supervision so they can perform a one-night-only show on Broadway, during which he has divised his elaborate "Oceans 11" style escape, assisted by a team of high-profile sex perverts, portrayed where possible by their real life counterparts.

Matt Fox - martial arts and hand-to-hand fighting expert (the "exploding cannon" of the group)
Roman Polanski - the "Mastermind" of the escape
Harvey Weinstein - bankroller
Morgan Freeman - the investigator who suspects Spacey is guilty from the start, just as Spacey is about slip through the crowd Freeman captures him, and throws him in a police car in front of the press and drives away... only to reveal that was the plan all along because Freeman was in cahoots with Spacey.

Buzzfeed 

[Jenkem]

I have a half baked theory that because some senators and others were talking about impeachment based off Buzzfeed's article, Mueller didn't want them to completely fuck his investigation before it was watertight hence the statement. I think that Buzzfeed's article is pretty much accurate and this is Mueller trying to stop over-eager senators from doing irreversible damage to the investigation.

But what do I know.

I also can't help laughing at how all of the trumpers have been shouting "fake news" and have been whining about how Mueller is some plant, now suddenly believe what he says because in their mind it's proof that Trump is innocent.

You couldn't make it up.

lol yeah .. imagine political tribalists believing in a certain narrative and then changing their opinion of something and/or concocting wild theories about what's really going on in order to maintain that narrative.

You couldn't make it up.

Over the course of six months, from September 2016 to March 2017, I read 100 reviews (written at any point prior to March 2017) for each of the top 20 Mexican restaurants on Yelp, recording how often commenters used the term authenticity or its synonyms like “legitimate” or the phrases like “this made me feel like I was in Mexico.”

*insert dunkey video with all the game reviewers saying "it makes you feel like Batman"*

[benjipwns]

there's probably some connection between outrage culture and the fact that most people are just plain bad writers or poor at expressing themselves or whatever

people often say i'm good with words (;smug) like Wrath but whenever i write at length i'm always worried about being unclear or suggesting the wrong idea, but most people don't truly self-edit, even when they write scripts and have endless chances to edit, let alone think about the construction before or as they write

since i mentioned him, people like to compare dunkey and Yahtzee, and both, irregardless of their opinions or whatever, are fantastic at constructing their words to express exactly what they want to mean with them

then you have someone like Hobbes or Stinkles

[benjipwns]

i've always thought part of the magic of ghst is that he's excellent at that kind of construction, he uses so few words

that probably makes A Black Falcon the anti-ghst

ONE ARTICLE IS INACCURATE, BURN IT ALL DOWN

[benjipwns]

other part of that post is

I find it hard to believe Buzzfeed completely fucked up their biggest story, plus they reported on the Steele dossier when other media outlets didn't.

I think when this is over Buzzfeed's reporting will be vindicated, but we'll have to wait.

The Steele Dossier was pedaled to literally every major media outlet in the world and nobody would bite on it except Buzzfeed because it's borderline fan fiction rather than anything resembling a sourced intelligence report. Even Steele has said he wished they had never got it and published it because of how much he would have retracted from it if it was going to be published.

David Corn of all people wouldn't publish it. And he had it months before the election.

The GamerGate is going to post their memes again and Russia is going to throw all their resources behind Jill Stein and re-elect him. The only way to have stopped him would have been accurate reporting in this single case which would have nullified the memes and Jill Stein's candle magic spells.

Which kind of lunatic reads yelp reviews of random Mexican restaurants?

[benjipwns]

Which kind of lunatic reads yelp reviews of random Mexican restaurants?

hey pal, xhe read 20,000 Yelp reviews of ten different kids of restaurants!

I would know: I have read and studied 20,000 Yelp reviews — part of my thesis as a master’s student at New York University in the Food Studies program. I can tell you a lot about what I concluded about the depths of the internet, but I’ll start with this one: The word “authentic” in food reviews supports white supremacism, and Yelp reviews prove it.

There are 17 million restaurant reviews on Yelp from over 30 different countries. Of course, not all of these reviews support white supremacy, or even mention authenticity. I narrowed my data collection to reviews from New York, and focused my field even further by picking from Zagat’s top ten most popular cuisines in New York City: Mexican, Thai, Japanese, Chinese, French, Italian, Korean, and Indian, adding Mediterranean and Soul food based on recent dining trends. Over the course of six months, from September 2016 to March 2017, I read 100 reviews (written at any point prior to March 2017) for each of the top 20 Mexican restaurants on Yelp, recording how often commenters used the term authenticity or its synonyms like “legitimate” or the phrases like “this made me feel like I was in Mexico.” Then I kept going, ultimately reading 2,000 reviews for each of the nine other popular cuisines.
