I like how everyone keeps saying that she won the popular vote, as if they didn't also take a civics course in high school and learn that the popular vote only informs the electoral college of how they should vote in order to reflect the vote of their constituents. To the best of my knowledge, there were no faithless electoral college votes and Hillary still lost.

What am I meant to take away from this, except that they're trying to move away from the ruleset that's served the country well for the past two hundred years?

All those niggers and wetbacks in California have to eat something, so California ships in water and food from bumfuck nowhere. The only state that could feasibly survive totally on its own without interstate commerce is Texas, but that's because they'd probably go full Saudi with the oil down in the Permian Basin and west Texas and buy whatever they wanted from anywhere else.

Anons California has 39 million people in it, the next closest state is 28 million, Texas. 11 million people to the next biggest state is as much as some states have. It would be asinine to think popular vote would be the right way to go.

Federal funding is not an indicator of potential stability as an independent entity. People forget that some states do not have a state income tax at all, Texas being one of them. If the Texan state government received the federal taxes, the gibmedats people point to when chimping out about all the poor niggers and mexicans would not dry up.

If your industries rely heavily on federal funding than yes it is an indication that you aren't going to thrive on your own. The momey doesn't just grow on trees.

How the hell does moving to Canada because politics relate to installing linux?

>we need to fight for our freedoms

What the fuck?

Good one user, the funniest joke I've heard all day.

His reasoning was: Moving to Linux because Windows policies are bad is the same as moving to Canada because American policies are bad.

But that's stupid because windows is genuinely worse than Linux while Canada is an inflationary shithole with some of the most pozzed laws in the world.
Why the hell would anyone move to a country where you will get fined for 'misgendering' someone and can be prosecuted free of cost for not waxing a man's pre-op 'vagina.'

thats pretty much all you can take away from it. When democrats lose something their reaction is to blame something other than themselves and they try to destroy the institution that didnt bend over and let them have their way. You can find articles during the campaign talking about how "the electoral college will be a firewall against trump", but the moment he wins it needs to be abolished forever.

Because there are at least a dozen developed countries more liberal than America that also have equivalent or better quality of life.

Meanwhile there are no other countries as conservative or more conservative than the US which don't have a lower quality of life.

Truly causes one to ponder...

It used to be even worse in the 90s and the law needed to intervene so that Windows won't be the only OS out there besides BSD(lmao) and Linux. Also, didn't Sweeney hate Microsoft?

It's easy to fight a corporation. Don't give them what they want. (Money/data)

Find me Tiny Weeney tweet that makes sense

But those are all objectively true.

If you go by the rankings of personal freedom developed by multiple conservative think tanks (Cato institute, Fraser institute, freedomhouse) canada is more free than the us, too.

>Mac didn't existed back then

I just said what was his reasoning.
Say that shit to him, not me.

Your short term memory is amusing. You don't remember conservatives in 2010 vowing to stonewall obama with obstructionism and let him accomplish nothing whatsoever?

I also recall trump himself disrespecting our political institutions more than any other president, what with him trying to subvert congress with his comically bogus emergency declaration, instructing people to ignore congressional subpoenas, eviscerating the department of state, etc.

It's also the GOP who has been gerrymandering congressional districts to an unprecedented degree and otherwise undermining the normal democratic process in states like north Carolina, west Virginia, and other states.

Isn't he pretty much saying epic store is a waste of time with the logic?
Maybe I'm misunderstanding him

Austria having better or equal QoL to the US is HIGHLY debatable. Switzerland is probably one of the 10 most liberal countries in the world. Italy is in the shitter right now. Your counterexamples are lacking.

Who cares that there are left-wing shitholes with lower quality of life? There are plenty of right-wing shitholes that are the same. Difference is, there are ALSO left-wing countries with a higher quality of life, which is why American liberals can say they'll move when conservatives are elected, whereas American conservatives can't say jack shit.

No, they don't. The cato institute measures both. The Fraser institute has rankings for both economic and personal freedom, and Canada outperforms the US on both. Freedomhouse doesn't really look at economics at all.

1. It was made to allow slaveholding states equal footing without having to count slaves as citizens.

2. For the most part, red and blue states aren't of equal importance now: A plurality of "red states" are tax-sinks, put plainly. Texas is a producer state. Florida is, marginally, as a shipping and tourism destination. The border midwest, some. But for the most part the agra and industrial sectors the bulk of the populated red states existed to support are on life support subsidies or are done, so even if I WAS going to entertain the argument that citizens of a low-population state should get artificially-inflated votes to account for how important their state is to the lifeblood of the country... dude, it's not 1973.

What?

And most of California's biggest problems, even including wildfires, can be traced back to NIMBYism.

So you read my link, right? And you acknowledge GOP gerrymandering was worse than the dems?

It really depends on a lot of factors that determine if a state can make it on its own. For instance, the tax disparity between Texas and California is immense, and it's starting to bite Cali in the ass as more and more businesses are bailing to Texas to avoid them. The federal grants received by both states are comparable otherwise, the difference is that Texas is simply collecting far less in state taxes than California in order to attract more industries to itself.

California would have an exceptionally difficult time standing on its own without federal aid because they're already drawing so much from their own population they can't really afford to take any more and not drive people away in droves. Texas has a similar situation in where they've enjoyed the low taxes for so long, even if they raised to California's level, people would still be abandoning ship. Both the states are cheating the federal government out of grant money to justify their useless expenses or lack of taxes.

If states were ever to go off on their own, they'd have to do some massive restructuring for most places because those who could be self-sufficient are suckering the fed out of whatever they can and the ones who can't are essentially getting drained of cash to justify their place in the union.

if linux got significant market share they'd just make hardware proprietary and tell linux users to make their own hardware, there are thousands of things that they could do to easily push linux out of viability

It's always been bad, but it's so much worse now, especially considering nobody has a clue about what they are talking about.

Gerrymandering is just reactionary to dems literally buying votes, both parties attempt to play the same political games. Coasties are the only ones migrating en-masse to progessivize different areas of the country, though.

Unfortunately we can't seem to teach the blacks proper firearm use and safety.

There is a concerted effort to divide the common man through a myriad of minor issues. Of course there's larger issues mixed in as well. But the point is that a divided populace will never be able to stand against the current system.

Americans think they have a choice if they can vote for 2 right wing authoritarian governments.

Most hardware IS proprietary and yet Linux runs on pretty much anything out of the box.
Are you implying that MS is like Apple and they have direct control on exactly what kind of hardware PC users use?

Steam has no quarrels about scanning your DNS cache "to catch cheaters".

Also it keeps detailed track of what you play when, how you play, what you look at in the store, when you are using your computer or when you are AFK. Probably keeps track of a lot more. You are installing closed source software from an American company on your Linux machine after all.

Let's break this down in a way you can understand. You do not vote for the president. Your state does. When you vote, you are voting to influence which way your state votes. The president is the leader of a federation of states, elected by the states. You want to affect your politics directly? Vote in your congressional, state, and local elections.

You actually have much more control over who runs the company that supplies your operating system than you have over any democratic office.

Direct democracy is just mob rule. We learned a long time ago that mob rule is a very bad idea, hence pretty much every modern democracy using a representative system.

>Who needs gerrymandering when you can use demographic change?
Politicians. Gerrymandering produces huge results instantly. Demographic change needs multiple generations to produce comparable results. Politicians are generally only focused on the next election and maybe the one after it. The biggest reason dems are pro-immigration is because they have an EXISTING base of pro-immigration voters they're appealing to.

You can't govern a country as large as the United States with a unitary system.
regional representation is necessary.
The people in Maine don't want to be governed in the same way as the people in California.
If the electoral college were abolished, the population centers would be able to pass laws that are completely incompatible with regional political cultures and would create the seeds for secession and division along GEOGRAPHIC lines, which let me be clear is much more dangerous than division across an evenly spread population.

Imagine thinking these institutions are incorruptible and infallible.

Isn't that part of a reason why Canada has it's problems? People who live in bumfuck provinces can't get their voices heard?

There was still evidence, and Russia's involvement is beyond question.

Who says I only trust academics? I mentioned a litany of various institutions and organizations. All of whom have made mistakes throughout their histories, and all of whom are, nonetheless, deserving of trust. Because even if you tirelessly compiled a list of every mistake ever made, the list of every time they were correct would be much longer.

I'm aware of that study. It demonstrates one such mistake by sociologists. But that doesn't change the fact that peer-reviewed scholarly articles and studies are one of the best sources we have for acquiring knowledge about the world.

The russians? That would be their mass influence campaigns carried out primarily over social media, the hacking of DNC and Podesta emails, and the attempted hacking of state election systems.

>and all of whom are, nonetheless, deserving of trust.
Hilarious. You shouldn't trust anyone who doesn't even bother providing evidence of their claims, and many of them don't (IE 5 intelligence agencies say Russia interfered with the election, but won't tell you WHY).

>are one of the best sources we have for acquiring knowledge about the world.
Because you can use the methodology to reproduce the same results yourself. NOT BECAUSE THEY'RE PART OF AN INSTITUTION.

DOS certainly wasn't nice for the developers.

The protected mode bullshit from the old 8086 days meant having to code around 640kb chunks unless you paid out the ass to license an extender like DOS4GW. Having to account for every different video card was an absolute pain in the pre-OpenGL/D3D days, even when the cards were more than a framebuffer and DAC. VESA tried to standardize things but even then it was ineffective, hence why most graphics cards were painfully simple. Creative's Sound Blaster was essentially a monopoly in the sound business.

Because of how dumb and simple PC hardware was you had to do EVERYTHING on the CPU, requiring users to pay out the ass for expensive Intel CPUs.

It could be the first or the hundredth, they all look the same.

user, you can't divorce the question of trustworthiness from history. People and groups can earn trust by behaving in a trustworthy way over time... or establish themselves as bullshitters by peddling bullshit. Reputation matters. Sensitive information is often redacted from intelligence reports for security reasons; that doesn't mean the FBI, CIA, and NSA are just... making shit up. Particularly when the only reason to believe the opposite is because daddy putin promises he dindu nuffin.

And methodology is one good reason to trust a source, but not the only reason. I don't trust the Associated Press because they have a reproducible methodology, I trust them because they have a demonstrated history of fairness and accuracy.

Yes, that certainly explains why said African countries have had their average IQ rise quickly and steadily over the past decades, or how ethnic groups did complete 180s in IQ measurements in America.

>Research on heritability of IQ implies, from the similarity of IQ in closely related persons, the proportion of variance of IQ among individuals in a study population that is associated with genetic variation within that population.
>Yes, that certainly explains why said African countries have had their average IQ rise quickly
Obviously selection pressure for intelligence means a rise in the average IQ of Africans.

Yeah, that was fucked up. But their intelligence work is about as accurate as can reasonably be expected. And every other intelligence agency agrees with them. Meanwhile the evidence supporting Russia's side is... absolutely nothing.

The sources for the hacking claim on 36 are redacted under IT, as are the sources on page 50 claiming the hack of machines.

In both of these instances "attempted" is very clear, succeeded is not even a claim.

You know, call me crazy, but I don't think this thread is really about video games.

>Meanwhile the evidence supporting Russia's side is... absolutely nothing.
Burden of proof is on the person making the claim.
First it has to be demonstrated that the election was actually hacked before we even discuss blame.

No, the successful hacking theft of emails and other democrat documents is stated on page 40; it's hacking the election systems they tried and failed at (which I said).

Yeah that's not how burden of proof works. When you're debating someone and they give you a fucking 400 page report from the highest investigative authority in the country, you can't reject the proof because the source has redactions for sources and methods. Please learn how burden of proof actually works.

Their sources and methods were good enough to convince multiple judges and juries to issue warrants, indictments, and convictions. If it's good enough in a court of law, I don't see why it shouldn't be good enough for you.

Also meant to quote

>I don't see why it shouldn't be good enough for you.
Why should I blindly trust the judgement of any of these people?
I don't know them. They aren't providing primary sources.

If they are convicted by a public jury in a public trial, I will look at the facts of the case and decide whether or not I agree with the outcome of the trial.

>Burden of proof (also known as onus probandi in Latin) is the obligation on somebody presenting a new idea (a claim) to provide evidence to support its truth (a warrant).
Evidence has not been presented.
A claim has been presented in the report, we do not have access to the source that acts as evidence to support the claim.

Appeal to authority fallacy

Because they're the fucking FBI, you nitwit. The kind of information you're demanding won't be made public for decades, nor does it NEED to be for laypeople to make an accurate judgement.

Yeah, try this part:
>If they have considerable and well-tested evidence, the burden of proof may reasonably be considered to be on the person claiming that the evidence does not hold.
Where's your counterevidence? Why should I NOT trust this evidence that has convinced multiple courtrooms and come from an extremely trustworthy source?

All I see here is another attempt by dunces who see something they don't want to be true, then proceed to try to drag down the source using unmeetably high standards. You're like some nut who refuses to believe the US has nukes because they won't share precise instructions for making one.

I've more than supported my positions in this discussion; it's time for you to do the same. Let me remind you how this discussion started:
>I said conservatives get butthurt about trustworthy sources and try to tear them down
>some user says they're not trustworthy because the russian hacker stuff was "fiction from beginning to end"
>I reply with the most extensive piece of evidence that's actually possible
>anons proceed to get butthurt about trustworthy sources and try to tear them down

She literally won and Trump only stole her place because he had russia supporting him

>Because they're the fucking FBI, you nitwit.
Appeal to authority fallacy again

You can't run from trouble. Ain't no place that far, user.

>Because they're the fucking FBI, you nitwit.
The FBI makes recommendations to the court, not convictions
You don't even understand the FBI.

He means they're not going to spend money on developing games for Linux when Microsoft continues to spy like his company does.

>trustworthy sources
Including the fucking CIA and NSA.
Give me a fucking break.

That isn't how that works. If you are an American you should be ashamed of not knowing how the electoral college works. I am not even a Trump supporter. There is a reason popular vote doesn't choose the president. It means that dense population centers get to dictate rule over areas they never have been to and have no idea how their votes would affect those living there. This is the reason the United States is not a pure democracy, but a constitutional republic.

Also Russia had nothing to do with the election, other than people memeing. If your vote would a choice based on memes you should also be ashamed of yourself. You need to make educated choices in our elections. Then vote for what you think is right. A 2 party system is only ever going to lead to "lesser of 2 evils" and that is a terrible outcome everytime.

Also the state where knowingly infecting someone with AIDS isn't a felony any more because that would be homophobic.

>what did he mean by that
He means that when you start crying "WOW FUCK MS FUCK WINDOWS ITS TRASH" and then install linux, you're like a retard who cries about muh basabdsldasluuuumpfffffff and flees the fucking country instead of trying to fix what you perceive as wrong.
If you don't like the epic store, don't buy games on it, tell other people not to buy games on it. If they respect the market enough, they'll avoid buying even titles they want to "protect it" from exclusives.

But as we see it now, people are actually fine with having another storefront. So all these people crying are like pic related. Lots of whining, lots of bitching, but ultimately they don't do anything to make the market think it's actually a bad thing.

linux needs to have games support it natively and not through some bullshit like wine or proton. If that doesn't happen, nobody will ever go to it.

Good job, reddit

Does he even know there's a world outside of the USA? And that the USA isn't as free as many think?
What a stupid comment

>You're like some nut who refuses to believe the US has nukes because they won't share precise instructions for making one.
I believe the U.S. has nukes because the scientific theory behind them is totally sound, and WE HAVE USED THEM.
>, then proceed to try to drag down the source using unmeetably high standards
Providing evidence of your claim to the public of criminal misdeeds is not an impossibly high standard.
In fact it's necessary to get a criminal conviction in the vast majority of courts around the country.

I haven't bought Metro and I really wanted it, I'll wait for steam's release because I have tegrity.

This. I love Epic because they pay devs even if their games get pirated. Isn't that nice of them? It's like a 100% discount.

Idiocy again. Please explain what kind of evidence COULD exist that would convince you.

>Dismissing the council of legitimate experts and authorities turns good skepticism into denialism. The appeal to authority is a fallacy in argumentation, but deferring to an authority is a reliable heuristic that we all use virtually every day on issues of relatively little importance. There is always a chance that any authority can be wrong, that’s why the critical thinker accepts facts provisionally. It is not at all unreasonable (or an error in reasoning) to accept information as provisionally true by credible authorities.

I explicitly said >Their sources and methods were good enough to convince multiple judges and juries to issue warrants, indictments, and convictions
Please read.

>Just mail out a sample quiz two weeks before voting. Everyone that fails the real one on election day has their ballot shredded.
You would literally fuck over almost every single conservative. Are you dumb?

>Their sources and methods were good enough to convince multiple judges and juries to issue warrants, indictments, and convictions
The Russians haven't been convicted of anything so far as I've read.

That's what people need to do, you're standing by your beliefs. Most people aren't.
You're free to do that too, but if you pirate it, all you're doing it making devs more likely to go because you know they're retarded and equate piracy to lost sales. "Imagine how much they would have lost if they didn't have that check from epic?" being their tagline going forward.
You're playing yourself, but at least you're not buying it, I guess.

Who creates the questions on the quiz, what is the authority behind it? What type of questions would they be?

>make the market think it's actually a bad thing.

Imagine being that bluepilled.

Well if you're implying you don't have control over it, why bitch like a little girl about it at all?

>The appeal to authority is a fallacy in argumentation, but deferring to an authority is a reliable heuristic that we all use virtually every day on issues of relatively little importance.
>The appeal to authority is a fallacy in argumentation

He means that doing that might be valid as an individual action - although it will have a period of transition of variable length - but that it's not a realistic group action and that the only realistic solution is to improve what is by far the biggest player out of the two when it comes to setting trends that others follow or use as an excuse.

>as if they didn't also take a civics course in high school

If you're 40+? Sure. If you're under 40? No, you didn't take a fucking civics course in 80% of high-schools and you're fucking lucky if you did.

US Government isn't taught in history, and is an elective. Most kids don't take that.

Still no proof of that yet, is there?

So this is the power of educational indoctrination.

>Please explain what kind of evidence COULD exist that would convince you.
Actual evidence that isn't redacted.
No primary evidence has been provided by the authorities you're falling back on. Your argument is based entirely on "if the courts and FBI say it's true (even without evidence) then it must be true" which is an appeal to authority.

On issues relating to intelligence and espionage? Absolutely. Feel free to provide the slightest shred of counter evidence, though.>I believe the U.S. has nukes because the scientific theory behind them is totally sound, and WE HAVE USED THEM.
Scientists? Can't trust those guys. Did you hear they made a mistake once? :^)
Can you prove we've used them? I didn't see it. :^)

It's an impossibly high standard because the evidence you want can only feasibly come from an intelligence agency, who are going to be using sources and methods that need to remain secret, and you're insisting that secrecy invalidates the source. There is no realistic way any source could be provided that would satisfy you. You've degraded from reasonable skepticism to denialism.
>In fact it's necessary to get a criminal conviction in the vast majority of courts around the country
Funny, the fact that this source HAS been used to get warrants/indictments/convictions in court is something you've continuously ignored. Should I just go ahead and assume that the court system is also part of the big mean liberal agenda to oppress your poor, innocent god emperor? :^)

that video is cathartic. All those pathetic professors that fueled the fired for however long finally got theirs. Beautiful

>Scientists? Can't trust those guys.
Again, we're talking about publicly available methodologies and papers.
Spare me your passive aggressive bullshit.

>Funny, the fact that this source HAS been used to get warrants/indictments/convictions in court is something you've continuously ignored.
It HAS NOT BEEN USED as of yet to get convictions.
Way to move the goalpost you disingenuous faggot.

If the courts don't take it why should I?
They're far more reliable when discerning the truth of the matter by my judgement.
The role of the FBI is to provide evidence (that they have not provided US), the goal of the court is to make JUDGEMENTS (which they have not made on the Russians).

So IF WE'RE APPEALING TO AUTHORITY, the right authority agrees with me on this point.

>poor, innocent god emperor? :^)
Also don't get me wrong, Trump is a complete faggot for not lynching you queers after a good three fucking years.
