Maybe off topic but I’d never heard of whitedate.net. Is that considered something bad? I mean it’s a little weird and creepy from the look of it but plenty of exclusionary dating sites exist. I can even think of a few others that exclude based on race.
This is pretty disturbing tbh. I really can’t believe someone thought it’d be a good idea to make this. I have no confidence that they’re distinguishing between rioters, and media, passerby’s, police, and genuinely non violent people. If you’re someone cheering this on ask yourself how long before it happens at a protest you support, your kids are at, your friends or you. This is a pretty fucked up thing these people made.
It’s more so the worship of the military that made me assume they’re part of it. Couple that with referring to everyone as the “American public” and the knowledge they imply they have of classified documents that won’t be made public for some time. Doesn’t seem like a stretch.
Your comment displays a bit of naivety on how power structures work in this country. There’s a reason thousands of people knew about these programs, including his superiors, and it took Snowden going to the press. You believe a no name, low level, intelligence contractor can just walk into the intelligence committee and tell them they’re spying on their own people? The same committee that despite knowing about it know hasn’t made serious efforts to curtail these operations? I might have a bridge to sell you.
You realize Snowden didn’t just dump all of these documents on a torrent site right? Given that he’s not a professional journalist and was risking his freedom he grabbed what he could and took it to reputable journalists to do the work of ensuring the leak doesn’t endanger others without a good reason. What else do you expect him to do? If he’d gone to a superior he’d be rotting in jail and we would have no evidence of mass surveillance in this country.
I don't understand why you think that. I will freely admit that I don't have a great grasp on Silicon Valley investor relations but I just assume when you're the head of the company something like this falls back on you. I don't know this just seems to me like a CEO's responsibility not to do.
I'm sorry but most Americans retirement portfolio isn't an apartment complex in the most expensive city in the country. I'll find a bit more sympathy for them.
