Eavesdropper gets three men fired after hearing them rank women’s hotness in a bar To thunderous applause from Reddit, of course.
Via u/HRFiring on r/AmITheAsshole? comes this whopper of an asshole confession: A bunch of people from my department at work went for drinks on Friday after work. Everyone was having a good time and there were about 20 of us there (from about 30 people in our department). I go to the bathroom, and as I am about to exit the hall to the bathroom I hear my co-worker say my name from around the corner of the wall. Perhaps I shouldn’t have eavesdropped, but curiosity/suspicion got the best of me and I did. I overheard a conversation of three guys in my department making a “hot list” (they actually…

People going to work are punching the Extinction Rebellion clowns trying to stop them The public is giving the group the justice they demand and it's a viral video gift that keeps giving.
If you’re on social media or perhaps just an ordinary person trying to go to work in or near a major western city, you already know Greta Thunberg’s obnoxiousness doesn’t end at her over the top theater performances. She has her very own children of the corn cult – Extinction Rebellion – and they just keep going viral for all the wrong reasons. The group is inspired by the belief that the world is ending in as few as 11 years, and so to save it, it must stand around in the middle of the road and block traffic until global LGBTQIAP communism rises from the sheer nuisance. As little…

UK man under police investigation for refusing sex with transwoman’s penis Getting consent is important, but denying it could be a hate crime — in the UK at least.
Police in Hull, UK has confirmed to Hull Live that they’re investigating a man for turning down sex with a “transwoman” – because “he has a cock.” Ria Cooper, 25, filed the police report after a potential sex partner and business associate ghosted him on Whatsapp upon learning he’s a man. “This is absolutely fucking disgusting behaviour,” said Ria on social media, where he shares photos and says he hopes to become a glamour model and a porn star. “I am reporting this as a hate crime. It’s like calling someone who is black the ‘N’ word. I doesn’t matter if I have cock or not. The pictures should be…

The big list of China’s corporate puppets Reddit doesn’t want you to see A far greater issue than a few spineless suits at Activision Blizzard and NBA.
Game publisher Blizzard recently caused a stir by banning Hearthstone champion Blitzchung and confiscating his winnings for verbally supporting his native Hong Kong in a livestreamed post-match interview. It couldn’t have happened at a worse time for Blizzard. NBA had just thrown Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey under the bus for pro democracy sentiments, and South Park was reportedly being censored in China for making fun of Chinese censorship in the west. Everyone were suddenly talking about Western corporations stamping the Communist Party of China’s boot on the necks of westerners, and a lot of anger had to be channeled somewhere – anywhere. And while most of the conversation…

Peer-reviewed paper: sexbots need ability to consent You'll need to "communicate carefully" with their "consent-modules" to avoid robot rape.
A peer-reviewed paper recently published in the International Journal of Social Robotics argues that sex robots should be programmed to decide whether or not they consent to their owner’s sexual advances. University of Wollongong PhD student Anco Peeters and Radboud University Professor Pim Haselager say that the move would help the “cultivation of compassion.” “Like consenting humans, a robot and its human partner will have to communicate carefully about the kind of interaction that will take place,” Peeters and Haselager write. “And like in a relationship between humans, this communication could potentially result in the robot sometimes not consenting and terminating the interaction.” In other words, these academics believe sex…

Kickstarter says MS-13 gang is a “marginalized group,” bans comic book project depicting them as villains "As a Public Benefit Corporation committed to fighting inequality and creating a more equitable world, Kickstarter does not allow discrimination, subjugation, or intolerance toward other groups," says the email about comic portraying MS-13 as criminals.
A woke artist would be hard pressed to portray villains as non-white – even when depicting real life events – but now big tech has decided that portraying the criminal gang MS-13 as Hispanic (which they almost exclusively are) is not only bad form: it’s bannable hate speech. Mike S. Miller has received a message from Kickstarter notifying him that his crowd-funded comic book, Lonestar, is hate speech, and that it will not be allowed on their crowdfunding platform. “As a public benefit Corporation committed to fighting inequality and creating a more equitable world, Kickstarter does not allow discrimination, subjugation, or intolerance toward other groups,” the company wrote. But there’s…
