If anyone sees nothing wrong with doxxing then please be sure to list your name, address and workplace. I'm sure painting an extremist group into a corner (getting doxxed) will have no bad consequences. /s What people need to be doing is try to change their incorrect viewpoint not trying to silence it.

My wife's been hinting that she got me one for my birthday. Only a few weeks to find out.

Anyone else miss the Halo 3 fileshare memes

The "author rams x" were also golden.

God that pisses me off, it's basically a death sentence for holding the wrong views.

However, even if this is a joke it's scary. What I'm scared for is the false negatives.

I can already see ways to abuse if it came to fruition. Are you in a competition with another company for a contract? It would be a shame if someone accused your competitor of hiring racists.

Things should be alright as long as the individual keeps their work/personal life separate. For example, no one is going to higher someone who walks into the office with an SS uniform. But on the same token, if a person is posting anonymously on Stormfront and has no linkage to their work, that is of ZERO concern to the company they work for.

Adam may want there to be a connection so that he can feel morally superior by never interacting with them, but it will never happen. Which is why his comments just come off as stupid instead of actually threatening.

This Adam Fletcher individual (who now is a CEO of another software company) has publicly stated (see above image) that he would never work with/employ certain individuals regardless of their merit.

I get that companies don't want employees representing them in a bad light and they have every right to remove someone who does. However, even if this is a joke it's scary. What I'm scared for is the false negatives.

I find it funny how Adam Fletcher makes laughably stupid comments like that, as if he somehow knows if someone is a hostile voice going into an interview. Either he's being incredibly invasive and digging up shit on people before he hires/moves someone to his teams (which I'm sure breaks numerous workplace safety laws), if not then he has no fucking idea and this comment comes off as thuggish and hostile, which does nothing to help his company which has already been suffering a PR disaster for almost half a year now.

I just wish people like him understood that they'll never, ever ban all views you don't like. I mean, what's the point in even fucking living in a world like that? It's just so hilariously stupid....



1 hour between the time the video was posted and the Twitter ban, but I'm sure it's just a coincidence.

Isn't it great to know that we are back to the 1950s with blacklists?
How so?

I'm okay with the US becoming isolationist. Why send our tax dollars to state sponsors of terrorism when that money could be better used at home. If other countries have a problem and need our help then they can actually use the UN. We can still be an economic power, but we don't necessarily have to be a militaristic one. Especially when our past meddling has created power vacuums and made a entire region unstable.

Yooooo my moms loves in Grand Rapids, or did. She moved back up to Fremont but that's pretty neat either way.

That's crazy. I was up in Fremont for the National Baby Food festival a couple weeks ago with my family.

Live in Grand Rapids. Their sister cities are: Omihachiman, Japan; Bielsko-Biała, Poland; Perugia, Italy; the Ga District, Ghana; and Zapopan, Mexico.

I wonder what other interesting locations will be listed.

Dragon bone fist, but then again, either is a challenge

Since the dragon bone fist needs a 20 in strength to use and none of the starting classes have that much (can't 2 hand either to reduce requirement) should I cheat my strength up to that for asylum demon or just have asylum with the dragon fist then do the bone fist for every other boss?

Now I'm having flashbacks of the midship remake (can't remember the name) where one team camped in space. 6 months later Bungie made it a soft kill zone.
Zealot, which wasn't a midship remake in any way outside being on a covenant ship.

I'm probably wrong, but wasn't Zealot inspired/spiritual successor to Midship?

Remember when Bungie thought it was a good idea to not have a legitimate ranking system in Reach
What are you talking about Arena was the greatest ranking system of all time :^)

Arena on Sword Base was the pinnacle of competitive halo. Those epic 15-9 wins in team slayer.
You're being generous, games were more like 6-4 with 8 of those kills coming in the first minute

Now I'm having flashbacks of the midship remake (can't remember the name) where one team camped in space. 6 months later Bungie made it a soft kill zone.
