Hey! I'll have you know that at least one out of every hundred fights looks vaguely like a boxing match!
Yeah, also they're sourcing from ISW. Which is fine, if proper considerations are made.
But, they were not. Really low-hanging fruit of an article imo.

This community differs from other MMA communities in that it specifically focuses on themes of leftism and left-leaning in general as they show up in the sport. Which they do, constantly.
Conservative nonsense will be stamped out. I also make content on this subject (non-monetized, I do it as a small hobby) that explores various leftist themes in the MMA world that I'll be posting there. You can check those out and drop videos of your own if you're into that kind of thing.
The hope is to have a few smaller conversations with like-minded folk, serving as a bit of an oasis from the traditional conservative MMA fanbase. I'll likely set up event threads to discuss particular events if enough people join, otherwise we'll just let it chill as a small group.
The VA is a broken program. Where's the lie? When did I mention civilian healthcare?
You wouldn't have to strawman me if you had a meaningful point.
Calling the VA socialized medicine is correct.
It is also incorrect. Because it is a broken program.
Edit: It seems to have gone through now with no further intervention on my end. Hurray!
Hi. I'd like to transfer a community I'm setting up from one of my accounts to another. But, when I go to do this (both accounts are modded), nothing happens. It asks me to confirm if I want to transfer, I click "yes," and nothing happens.
Would an admin be so kind as to explain what I'm doing wrong, or perhaps even transfer the community for me somehow?
I really didn't expect to have to read this corpo-apologist BS here.
You're sick, please get well.
Is this sarcasm?
The DMV is government-regulated and has a legal duty to safeguard your data. Unlike the corporations we were happily discussing before you decided to try out as Ben Shapiro.
Product is sold by weight. Some settling during package and handling may occur. You can be assured of the proper weight regardless of settling.
Enjoy your 6 cornrings.
That is the entire (and only) point I was making. x)
On the contrary, I'm not conflating two specifics. I'm speaking in general terms about the demonstrable public perception (read: billions of social media users who happily hand over their data vs. the palpable unease over data publication in all walks of tech discussion) and how it is innately hypocritical.
It is perfectly normal and useful to discuss societal contradictions. For example: "We hate school shootings, but we do fuck-all to stop them from occurring." That statement does not conflate two different vocal minorities, it purports to accurately describe the generalized societal contradiction at hand.
The rest of your post is completely off-topic.
Why? The masses have no issue forking data over to big tech. What difference does it make if it's one or a million corporations using that data when it's being sold willy-nilly to anybody with a checkbook?
The point is not how many actors have access to your data. The point is that in both scenarios (public data vs. single-corporation-controlled data), your data is pragmatically public from data sales, data leaks, and so on. However, in only one of them, your data is ostensibly "protected" by a corporation - the lie at hand. In the other scenario, you are under no spell that your data is protected or private - the truth.
My comment was simply pointing out how they're effectively the same thing. Giving your data to a big tech firm is effectively the same thing as making it public. Hence, the outrage over one not matching the outrage over the other is amusing to me because it implies how effective the corpo framing of this issue is.
No bootlicking detected. The first sentence of my comment actually belies my contempt for them.
There's something amusing about people feeling violated by their activity being made public, but not necessarily by corporations hoarding and capitalizing on that activity & data. I mean, one of them is out in the open. The other is pure abuse.
We don't need to make up reasons to call corpos such as Alphabet evil. The fact of the matter is that at this time, nobody even knows if Google lifted a finger to forward the delisting of Tweets. For all we know, it could be entirely on Twitter's end.
Hence, assigning blame to Google for this without understanding their role in it is premature.
The details are unclear as to why these links were removed. Opining on Alphabet's morals at this point is premature.
It's a race thing. The term "expat" is used almost exclusively by us white folk to spare us the dreadful indignation that is being labeled an "immigrant."
Seriously, it's a race thing.
