Facebook Exploits "A Vulnerability in Human Psychology," Says Former President Sean Parker

GODSPEED YOU! BLACK NEWSANON


everything happens so much

I'm pretty sure the drinking age is tied to federal highway funding. The federal government requires states to set their drinking age to 21 to qualify for grants. That's one of many ways the feds exert power over states.

I don't think Wisconsin can do this without forgoing millions of dollars of free money. In other words, it won't happen.

When it comes to substance abuse, the current white house is probably much more liberal than Bush era neocons were

Maybe, but the FHA definitely does give a fuck. I'd also be willing to bet if the feds are able to withhold money for any reason, they will.

That Carroll tweet is taxonomically classified as the worst ratio-ing of all time

America was a mistake.

What a disaster.

To be fair, look at Carrol's ratio.

49 tweets. 24 likes. 1,000 people calling her cunt a slug. And most of the likes go with the retweets. And nobody wants to fuck with r/The_Donald

This reminds me of another article where farmers were bemoaning the loss of Hispanic labor thanks to Trump's scare tactics.

Apparently, it never dawned on the conservatives that the reason whites aren't working these jobs is because they have far more job options than immigrants do.

Will the Right ever stop projecting?

This is going to end up in a mass genocide against each and every one of them when they try to trigger the libs for the last time in 2023 by throwing infants stolen from a hospital off twenty story buildings to see how offended the libs might get

And before they hit the gas shower they'll complain about abortion

It's sadly the norm.

Meant for

This is really just cruel. I know these stories are happening all the time now, but the inhumanity of America never ceases to amaze me. On top of it, some people will read that and say, "Good".

How likely is it that this is what happened? I am purely speculating

That guy is a Jew. If he molested children that's on the Jews not the White Nationalists. All Jews are child molesters.

Libtards are weak. If there is a war you will lose. We want a war, so continue your deeply triggering and problematic anti-european anti-decency campaigns so we can reach our end-game faster.

You'll never understand that, will you?

Why do mass shooters always have iPhones?

I wonder if Apple stocks will plummet because of the correlation between iPhone holders and mass murderers.

Ah yes, it's hard being a Lebanese porky. Thanks for reminding me Saad and his brother were the Chairman and CEO who bore the heavy responsibility of steering Saudi Oger during its most difficult episode. Let's review their corporate governance:

About 9,000 Filipino workers were appealing to both local officials and their country’s embassy to help them resolve their escalating labor problem in terms of eight to nine months’ salary due, some not having been paid since November 2015.[8]
The French government appealed to the government of Saudi Arabia to assist 200 distressed French employees of Saudi Oger.[7]
The company had recently shut down the canteen for foreign workers. Some workers continue to rely on food donations from some community groups and embassy personnel.

The workers cannot leave their accommodations because their residence permits known as “Iqama” have expired. Only their employers can renew the expired permits. This would entail enormous costs given the immigration penalties involved per worker. If caught, they will be given prison sentences. The expiration of their “Iqama” also complicates other matters, such as closing of bank account and inability to call home because retail outlets look for these permits before selling SIM cards or mobile-phone credits. Their lack of mobility due to lack of a valid permit also prevents these workers from going to the nearest embassy or consulate to seek help.

Crime has risen inside the workers’ accommodations and company premises. Company cars were overturned, housing units burned to the ground, and pickets have continued.

The reason why workers cannot leave the country is because they need to have a valid exit clearance to be able to leave, which only the management can provide. Most workers have already resigned from their jobs and filed for their exit clearances. However, the company could not provide airplane tickets, end of service benefits, and most importantly salaries which have resulted in their dire situation as stranded workers. [9]

(I forgot to mention, the two Hariri were and are still billionaires.)

Seems like a major radioactive leak has happened in Russia.
The Russians themselves have been quiet about this so there's clearly something fishy about this in some shape or form.

That second one is fake sorry to say, first one is real tho

Yeah I'm terrified.

Sounds like a real clickbaity title, is this the influence of that piece of shit Sam Biddle from Gawker. Greenwald needs to find another publication already.

That's the bougiest thing I've seen in months.


The media? Shilling for Hillary? Perish the thought.

Porkies are actually writing books about how to addict your customers.
