In the wake of white-nationalist-led demonstrations in Charlottesville,
Virginia, over the weekend, the chat service Discord, billed as a
“Skype for gamers,” has shut down the server associated with
AltRight.com.
AltRight.com is a prominent news site for the so-called “alt-right,”
where white nationalist Richard Spencer is listed as one of its editors.
The Discord server
linked to the AltRight website, where the site’s readers could chat
with each other, violated Discord’s terms of service, which “explicitly
forbid[s] harassment, threatening messages or calls to violence,”
according to a statement Discord’s chief marketing officer, Eros
Resmini, emailed to Mic. Read more (8/14/17 5 PM)
One father of a marcher in Charlottesville, Virginia over the weekend
is denouncing his own son after the young man was seen on national news
spouting hate.
In a letter to Fargo, North Dakota’s Inforum, father Pearce Tefft wrote that his family wasn’t sure where his son Peter picked up his racist beliefs.
“I, along with all of his siblings and his entire family, wish to
loudly repudiate my son’s vile, hateful, and racist rhetoric and
actions,” Tefft wrote, clarifying that he certainly didn’t learn such
values at home.
“I have shared my home and hearth with friends and acquaintances of
every race, gender, and creed. I have taught all of my children that all
men and women are created equal. That we must love each other all the
same,” he continued. However, he acknowledged, that Peter chose another
path.
The family has remained largely silent, but Tefft said these recent
events pushed them over the edge. Remaining silent, he believed, would
be a mistake.
“It was the silence of good people that allowed the Nazis to flourish
the first time around, and it is the silence of good people that is
allowing them to flourish now,” he wrote.
He went on to say that his son is no longer welcome in their home or
at family gatherings until he renounces the hate. The beliefs of the
younger Tefft has also brought hate targeted at his relatives, who are
being considered guilty by association.
His father recalled a time when his son joked, “The thing about us
fascists is, it’s not that we don’t believe in freedom of speech. You
can say whatever you want. We’ll just throw you in an oven,” Tefft
recalled.
“Peter, you will have to shovel our bodies into the oven, too. Please
son, renounce the hate, accept and love all,” the father closed.
“In brief, we reject him wholly – both him personally as a vile
person who has HIMSELF made violent threats against our family, and also
his hideous ideology, which we abhor,” his nephew Jacob Scott said. “We
are all bleeding-heart liberals who believe in the fundamental equality
of all human beings.”
“Peter is a maniac, who has turned away from all of us and gone down
some insane internet rabbit-hole, and turned into a crazy nazi. He
scares us all, we don’t feel safe around him, and we don’t know how he
came to be this way. My grandfather feels especially grieved, as though
he has failed as a father.”
the highlighted area is where Jason Derulo knows what the girls want. london to taiwan.
new york to haiti
greenland is right out
ummm no offense but new york to haiti should be measured as the area between the two latitudes, not the longitudes. this graph is incorrect and vastly underestimates the total region of the earth in which Jason Derulo knows what the girls want
Even measuring that way, Greenland remains right out, as does the entirity of Brazil.
Have we considered measuring by neither latitude nor longitude but in all area that would extend perpendicular from the diagonal of the two places?
There are many different interpretations of the data, and until more is available, we ought not conclude anything at this point.
In light of that, I posit this alternative map of regions where Jason Derulo is potentially claiming where he knows what girls want:
As we can see, if we assume that model, the vast majority of the area where Jason Derulo knows what girls want is either open ocean (the Atlantic, the Mediterranean Sea) or sparsely populated (the northern Sahara, the northern Arabian Desert, various desert portions of Iran and Afghanistan, and the southern Tibetan Plateau). Four of the ten most populated countries on the planet have no territory in it (Nigeria, Brazil, Japan, and Indonesia), and two which do have relatively little territory in it (the US and Russia). It is suggested that for all his boasting, Jason Derulo does not know what a probable majority of the world’s girls want.
Perhaps Jason Derulo’s intention was never to proclaim to be omnipotent to the interests of the female gender. Perhaps he was instead expressing his humanity, or the limits of his knowledge. I applaud Jason Derulo. Jason Derulo is not just another 2 dimensional character. Jason Derulo has depth.Jason Derulo has limitations and has come to terms with them. Jason Derulo knows Jason Derulo. Thats why he makes it a point to say his name so much.
we opened at 11 this morning. i watched an old man literally pry the fucking sliding doors open at 10:43 and stand there just staring into the empty store and my coworker & i were like sir. for the love of fuck
I worked in a restaurant for while and a woman climbed past an A board sign, ignored the sign on a the door saying the opening times and trotted on in. When told we were not open she asked why the door was unlocked. My manager explained that it has to be unlocked when people are in the building to comply with fire regulations. Which lead to my favourite exchange with a customer: Woman: But there are no people in here. Manager: Madam. The staff count as people. Woman: That’s ridiculous. *Storms out*
why do terfs always have those cutesy pastel pink aesthetic blogs as if theyre trying to sugarcoat all the violent bigotry they spew by hiding it between artsy pictures of strawberry shortcake and mediocre photos of flowers with heavy pink filters on them
