Google's Ideological Eco Chamber?

So, I'm coming into this story late. Having just read the condensed version that Gizmondo published I feel that I can weigh in on two things. One, The text of the memo was mostly reasonable. The ending and conclusions were a bit more right slanted then I was expecting to see, but, this brings me to point 2. Kate Conger, in leaving out the graphs and external links, has changed the memo to make it seem politically and emotionally charged and more like a manifesto.

While I haven't gone out of my way yet to see all the research and links at the moment, I can't make an assumption  on the motivation or research level of the memo, but, with the attempt to provide alternative solutions, I can only assume that he had shown evidence of his points. Kate conger on the other hand starts the article with the sensational headline of "...Here's The Full 10 Page Anti-Diversity Screed...". Kate has already painted the reader into a negative portrait of the writer James Damore.

CNet today is also reporting on an internal diversity meeting that was canceled. There is information in this article that paints Google CEO Sundar Pichai as a bit of a hypocrite. claiming that minority opinions are both welcome and not at Google. If now people of the minority opinion in the company are able to express this dissenting opinion, hire James back. This is all pointing to our media sources being corrupt.

While I say this, and know it's a hefty charge and claim to make, i can't help but wonder why the state of journalism has fallen to tabloidism. I can't trust any site offering news anymore because headlines are all that matter in this day and age. We need the NEWS MEDIA not to be the Propaganda. I don't go to you because i want something sensational. I go to you because i want to know the day's events. I don't need to know what kind of  rambling tweet the president shat out while dropping a deuce and falling asleep. Tell me more about the secret tapes and the misconduct of the entire system. Tell me about the money that's going into our bloated police wholesalers and how easy it is to scam the us government out of FREE WEAPONS! Be Useful News. That's what you're for. To protect the interests of the masses. To keep the ruling bodies Honest. Not push an agenda onto people and then tell us it's in our best interest. I don't need headlines, I need facts. Why won't you give them to me?

Mass Effect Sucks

Well, I never thought I'd write this, but, another franchise falls to the clutches of Electronic Arts. I loved the first Mass Effect, and I was truly hyped for Mass Effect 2. I lost everything in a move around the same time as Mass effect 3, so, I had to wait for Trilogy to play three, so I did it the only way that makes sense, I've been marathoning the Mass Effect franchise. One is still the buggy mess with bad checkpointing that I love. The game play is RPG and the action portion is more strategy then you'd believe. Mass Effect 2 is where the series starts the down turn. For the sake of this post I'm going to do it a disservice and compare it to Alpha Protocol. Before I'm crucified for doing so, let's get the comparative scores out of the way, Graphics: ME2-8, AP-6.5, Sound: ME2-9, AP- 7, Story: ME2-9 AP-8, Gameplay: ME2-8 AP-8. These scores are subjective, and, the gameplay is fairly similar between the two, this is what I'm going to be contrasting. A...

The Sad State of Affairs

(I know I update infrequently, but this is necessary to say. I posted it on twitlonger, but thought it might get more traction on this platform.) #Oregonunderattack is the stupidest movement I've seen in a long time. There are much better reasons for anti government sentiment then two jackoffs who were poaching then decided to make that look like a controlled burn who are just getting the sentence that was reccomended in the first fucking place. Like the case of Tamir Rice who was killed by an officer who was mentally unstable, and, allowed back into the fold of police work. If people had occupied over the case where a child with a toy gun, where the 911 operator said it was probably a toy gun, where the officer SHOT TO KILL ON ARRIVAL, and was still NOT CHARGED. I'd be sympathetic toward the people in the movement. The people who are doing it now are Armed TERRORISTS, and deserve to be treated as such, but, we all know there is a bias to the US police force. As much as I...
