Google is the world's largest breeding ground for sociopaths who see morals as obstacles to overcome, rather than paths to follow. Their utter indifference to the ethical repercussions and potential consequences of their actions is beyond all comprehension. Stefan, if you see this, I need to tell you that I strongly disagree with you about artificial intelligence. It is far more capable than you seem to think. Please watch the videos listed below and make a video on it at your earliest convenience. Thank you.

As a test, run google image search on 'white man white woman', then google on Caucasian, then google on 'American inventors'.

I want to bring this video by Black Pigeon Speaks to everyone's attention, and if you don't want to watch the whole thing, here's the gist (and some items that I want to mention that weren't in the video) He speaks about excellent alternatives to Google services - I am already using all of them and can attest to the fact that they indeed work really well: 1) Brave Broswer - clean, minimalist look, so far I love it. https://www.brave.com/ 2) A search engine that works pretty well https://www.qwant.com/ 3) Email server: https://mail.protonmail.com/login - the provider promises encryption and the layout is familiar and takes no time getting used to. The phone app for iOS is also very crisp and simple. The only limitation is that you don't get storage (something I personally don't care about at all. 500 MBs is more than I need) 4) Vid.me - a reasonable alternative to YouTube (this one - understandably - is lacking in features when compared to the BEHEMOTH that is YouTube. But hey, they're not fucking fascists. That alone sells it to me). 5) Minds.com - good facebook alternative 6) Gab.ai - alternative to twitter - but Apple and GooglePlay stores both refuse to shelf it. The browser version works just fine though and personally I prefer the layout to Twitter's. 7) Finally, we have an unofficial discord channel (not endorsed by Stef/Michael - not yet anyway) that has really taken off - forum people: please come by and say hi, we have wonderful conversations going on most every day in text/voice https://discord.gg/9QujQ2k There's also a program called CyberGhost 6 which hides your IP over wi-fi connections. It doesn't seem to work with brave browser, but works with Chrome. If anyone figures out how to make it work with Brave (or has another suggestion) please let me know.

Some people are more equal than others and it's not us.

Today, November 19th, is International Men's Day. The symbol of the International Men's Day represents strength and masculinity. As you can see, the symbol is a handful of gold and a symbol of masculinity. All this combined is received as "A large worth of male power", the symbol of the International Men's Day.

Donald Trump MUST win this election otherwise we're all in a world of hurt. Type in "misogynist remarks" into google and see the results. Despicable.

http://www.infowars.com/google-secretly-spying-on-computer-users-via-microphones/ http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/jun/23/google-eavesdropping-tool-installed-computers-without-permission Private communications have been recorded in mass without consent and sent to third parties due to a feature of Google Chrome web browser called "Ok, Google". We all share concern over governmental agencies such as the NSA spying on individuals' communications (texts, phone calls, e-mails, Facebook exchanges, and more), but to what degree do we need to protect ourselves from monolithic corporations like Google, Apple, or Facebook? To what degree are these companys' stored communications shared with government agencies? I'm not fond of anyone monitoring my speech, whether it be government, corporation, or individual citizen. In the United States, there's a provision in the Constitution known as the "4th Amendment", which was spurred by the nation's founding generation having acute weariness of and hostile disdain towards a tyrannical government's desire to invade privacy via their confiscation of private documents or quartering of households. Now, in the information age, invasions of privacy of a far greater degree, perhaps perpetual recordings filed of all conversations within earshot of recording devices, are to be sent to unknown third parties for likely purposes of profit or surveillance by governments through collusive practices. Samsung Televisions are now equipped with microphones and cameras that record your conversation and facial reactions during TV viewing, and all collected data is sent to 3rd parties. If you've ever read George Orwell's 1984, then this should ring a bell, and if you possess any discernment whatsoever, raise great concern in you. I know it's fun to debate about transgenderism, and other race/gender/ethnicity/class/age/sex/hooplah sociocultural phenomena that arise in our deteriorating western society; hell, there are two forum categories with threads surrounding transgenderism alone each with hundreds of replies and thousands of views. If I'm to be honest, this irritates me. Clearly these matters touch individual lives and warrant discussion, yet out of hundreds of posts and tens of thousands of words exchanged, and much mental/emotional energy expended, little if any consensus has been achieved in these threads. I'd suppose that such issues serve the elites of this world quite well - divide and conquer at its finest, causing in-fighting and completely distracting all those engaged in debate from serious threats to individual liberty. And I propose that there are serious-as-fuck geopolitical and economic developments, such as the stability of the Dollar being thrown into question, looming potential for a war between the United States and Russia, or the threat posed to U.S. Sovereignty by legislation such as the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), and corporate / government spying warrant just as serious a discussion. If not American, substitute the subversion of your nation's government by global financial institutions and the advancement of tyranny near you. So, that being said, what're your thoughts?

Google has been buying up robotics companies, including military robotics producer Boston Dynamics. I've always found it interesting that the corporate motto for google is: "Don't Be Evil"

Terms and Conditions May Apply (2013) is a documentary by director Cullen Hoback that highlights online privacy and what users really agree to when they accept a website or social network’s terms and conditions. This is an important and frightening film, and shows how Google, Amzaon, Flickr, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Linkdin etc harvest our personal information and onsell it to the highest bidder, and to the government. How we don't read that wodge of text in capitals comprising "Terms and conditions" before we click "Accept" - nobody could, it would take a month per year for everything we sign. But even when that text is brief and written in plain English, it gives those corporations unprecedented power over our personal information - including the right to change the rules without telling us, to increase their power without limit and without asking again, and to keep it forever, even after we have "deleted" it.
