Interesting article on Wired reflecting on their experience of pay walling one year later. When they did it took me months to train my muscle memory to not visit them during daily browse and I expect same hardship with NZH. Totally worth it as their respect for analytics and crass consumption (far more offensive than any alt right ideology) confirms I did the right thing relocating them to the fond memory department in my brain.

Nice read Joshua. Reminded me of Brian Priestley (with a dollop of Jim Lahey).

I stopped worrying about facebook when all the young people left. I stopped worrying about office 365 after cancelling mother's monthly Microsoft stipend. I stopped worrying about trump after toilet paper got stuck to his shoe.

I think this article is a great reminder that there are two sides to every story, good and bad with every new technology and most alarming for me that social media is not just a first world problem:

The fact the act has an illogical fixation with sexual deviancy which is clearly a health issue seems irrelevant in comparison of perpetrators of genocide who are clearly a health and safety issue. As I said the incoherent nature by association is an ill omen to the rest of the diatribe in which the meta data is not considered one with the payload.

Apologies for my tone.
I have been having a huge problem processing the fact that 80%+ of teen boys with phones in New Zealand of schools I am familiar have watched the video multiple times and many continue to do so.
I am in denial about the international appetite for something " oh its ok it is just like a first person shooter ".
I use to work in video game industry until the first person shooter took dominance on the evil empire's PC and it has been fucking grim ever since.
Terrorist Wins.

It's not my comparison. That's what Parliament has said.
I don't follow. Perhaps a link would help?
I still have no idea how you would consider the manifesto deserving of separate treatment to the video. Perhaps you are wrong and the position that you have taken is a callous, disingenuous, academic, privileged point of view?
Perhaps you would consider reviewing your collection of statements if not for coherency but to at least be grammatically correct.
