Interesting livestream about this whole thing. Bunch of random redditors, as well as TotalBiscuit, MundaneMatt, and a moderator from r/gaming.

There are about 1,450 people watching it at the moment.

Completely sane.
Sir, are you implying that that sleeveless suit isn't the most sane thing anyone could possibly wear?

There was just a livestream with over 3,000 people discussing Gamergate, originating from /pol/, because most discussion about it on 4chan is being censored. There also seems to be another one up on YouTube with TotalBiscuit right now, on the same issue.
Wait, what? There's so much WTF in this statement, let's do a breakdown:

1. Why is Gamersgate relevant to the interests of those bigots over in /pol/? Oh, wait, no "s", so it's that journalism-gender issues-whatever pile of shit. Okay. Incidentally, The Escapist did a great article on gamergate.

2. I was going to wonder why 4chan was censoring discussion of Gamersgate, but as above, it suddenly makes much more sense.

3. And hey, more people feeding this whirlpool of rancid shit.
/pol/ is more than bigots. Yes, there are literal Nazis, but a large portion of the userbase is actually libertarian. Regardless of their politics, the mass censorship has set off a lot of red flags among people, national socialists and bigots included.

Pssh. I do that all the time. With other games.

When a SS13 clown-army sieges a fortress, you realize you've got a problem.

Put my glasses on this afternoon to look at something written on the other side of the room, and as soon as I did was hit with really bad headaches and a desire to not be conscious.
Wat.
...Chaos runes. I said they were coming back. I warned you! You didn't listen, did you?! They call me crazy, but IT'S HAPPENING!

Every once in awhile, the best come out as well. Anyway, if /pol/ keeps this up with ebola-chan we may soon have a visit from Papa Nurgle.

And to that, I say...

Russia, what the fuck already.

Well, even though the Russian statement is way out of line, it is not completely void.

As a Dutch person, I am horribly ashamed to have to admit that about a fifth of our population has happily voted for the party of Geert Wilders, which is a right-wing nationalist, xenophobic, populist party. And this is not a political whim just restricted to our little insignificant country. The Scandinavian countries, France, Britain, Greece... They all have seen a spectacular rise in influence of right-wing nationalist, populist parties with xenophobic sentiments.
There are reasons for that. Multiculturalism, in the hearts and minds of the people, is creating more problems than it's solving.

And anyway, is it so wrong to believe in keeping England English? Keeping Sweden Swedish, or France French?  Doesn't it set off red flags when a chorus of "Racist!" drowns out all meaningful discussion and debate about immigration in Europe? For some people, I believe it is. Hell, there's even been talk about banning the parties of these "fascists". Ironic.

Conservative here. Been here for... holy shit, 5 years. That said, I don't post all that often and I (usually) try to avoid stirring shit up.

I was told that I'm WAY overqualified for the program I was applying for and would be automatically rejected on that basis. For reference, I... took 19 math classes in undergrad, and that's not counting the chemistry, computer science, and engineering I did as well.

They in fact said I have a shot at MIT, and should try there instead :D
Good luck!

Scrolling through a page on the rage thread.

SOmehow refresh the page, but I scroll through it and get a sense of deja vu before realizing I never clicked the next page number.

I am confused.

You're doing it wrong.
