As people have pointed out before… the check mark just means it’s a real person, N O T a “legitimate” source or whatever. If I call myself Ron Patrick and make anti-semitic statements, people can’t know if this person is who he says he is. Can they get angry at him, they should get angry at me, they don’t know. If people with a blue check mark tweet anti-semitic sh*t, we all know: that’s the Nazis, they are who they say they are, at least according to twitter’s verification process. That’s the ones you should hate. The check mark has value and white supremacists and other horrific people S H O U L D get verified, so we know and see them…
I definitely thought for most of that convo that “warm panties” meant underwear that just came out of the dryer, and I cannot fathom anyone who doesn’t appreciate freshly clean underwear (though statistically they’re out there, I guess). Almost vomited when I realized what she was talking about. My germaphobia doesn’t recognize gender/sex. But if that’s what you’re into…well…as you were.
Ana: it doesn’t matter how hard you work and how good your research is! 3 minutes later: who cares who the Japanese team played, it doesn’t matter! *leaves off part of story where they left a thank you note in Russian*
Multiculturalism. Cenk says that is a good thing. I agree, I think that’s the best way to be. That’s why I HATE when libs say Cultural Appropriation. I don’t see that as bad. that’s good. When you love something, go for it. Music, dress whatever. It doesn’t have to originate from the same DNA background as you do.
You can have multiculturalism without cultural appropriation. It’s not all libs getting all offended over Halloween costumes or white people with dreadlocks. If you want to understand what cultural appropriation is and why it’s an issue, or also how those against it can go too far, I cannot recommend ContraPoints youtube video highly enough, it’s short, informative and funny.
The check mark on twitter is SUPPOSED to just be confirmation that some person is really who they say they are. The check mark is not supposed to be some mark of approval. The people who think that confirmation that a person is who they say they are means that twitter thinks, or that we should think they are politically legimate are WRONG. Now, right now twitter is not being very consistent about that – they are buckling under pressure sometimes and deverifying people that people are pissed at and they interpret the check mark as approval.
But if they were to actually follow their own stated purpose, putting a check mark on neonazis or any evil horrible people, would absolutely not mean twitter CONDONES that persons views.
That was my understanding of Twitter. I’m going to have to look up what Seth Rogan was talking about because there has to be more to the story than just the check mark.
Talk about differences in cultures.
Japan cleans their locker room after a heart breaking defeat against Belgium, while trump talks about grabbing women by the pussy and then says it’s just locker room talk.
Twitter is a fucking dumpster fire. Not only is there no clear criteria for verification, but they ban/suspend people willy-nilly with no due diligence.
The only thing I use Twitter for is to live chat while watching TYT. Otherwise it seems like one is just yelling random shit into space and waiting to see if anyone notices.
The check mark, the verification symbol, was literally just supposed to mean “We can verify this person is this person.” Later it seems to have changed after the Milo incident and since then I don’t know what Twitter thinks that check means. Whether or not it’s a validating act by the company or if it’s just a proof of who this person is…
I think Twitter just needs to define exactly that. What does the check mark mean? Who should get it? And why? If it’s just identifying people than why not give it to white supremacists and violent communist revolutionaries and all the extreme people we should know to ignore? But if it is a tool for them to validate people than, while it’s still their right to choose who gets it, they should probably be very conscious of who gets it simply because of the polarized climate we live in.

Well – I hope it is not too late…Happy Birthday to Ana!

“Marxists took over the culture for the corporate elite?” I’m not not sure that word means what you think it means.

Ana, you are especially pretty with your windblown looking curls. Jus sayin :)
Seeing Ana laugh that hard makes me miss the times of crazy Japanese sex robot stories.
Has it really been two years since Ana was in the “30 under 30” list?
Genital mutilation is kinda challenging!
Does anyone know the link to cenks secrete missions? I keep forgetting to write it down and its surprisingly hard to find.
I think you have to search TYT army! Not 100% sure though
Yes I was right the link is here: https://mailchi.mp/tytnetwork/army :)
Wasn’t there supposed to be something about men breastfeeding that was supposed to put Ana in trouble?
FYI, the Senegalese fans cleaned the stadium as well.
