hey gawker dudes. what the fuck is wrong with you?

all is bragging and vexation of spirit

Do Gawker writers have to hit a snide irrelevant shit quota before they can get on with the good stuff?

do you?

It's there a quota of posts I have to make before someone will get out of the greys?

most of social media is bragging

no such thing as a selfless act, etc

Does it change Scahill's story if he doesn't mention the soup kitchen, if it was just a guy from the neighborhood?

this is so fucking stupid. putting aside the amiguous question of whether scahill's tweets were gauche or self-serving, how is this not a misleading way to present the "story" on the front page of gawker?

Treeship, man, you need to get wise. You're in a den of wolves here. Some dude killed himself on this board after getting bullied. And after that lesson, these people lured in a mentally ill woman to torment her, and it was such a hit it became messageboard canon. Are you not aware that these people manipulate you and fuck with you for megalolz? Snap out of it. The whole "social justice" "leftism" stuff people talk about on here is just a mask to cover up all of this demented, fucked up stuff they do to people. The conflict you seem to be having is this mask going up against reality. Wake up and stop wasting your time.

Wake up treeple

fwiw I didn't realise Grawkar was still a thing

How do you kill yourself on the board?

Some dude killed himself on this board after getting bullied.

you have no idea what you're talking about

blaming the message board for a suicide that likely had multiple, complex causes is really NAGL, especially since many on this board were (and still are) very shaken by it, if you read the thread.

We banned him this morning.

sweet

good

"him"

"Hmm"

Shouldn't "fucked up" be hyphenated?

union in or no? and which of our friends count as mgmt?

kinda curious about how many voters have previous union experience

Gawker what the fuck is wrong with you, now your staff will have to go to meetings :(

iiiiinteresting

man kinja commenters are really into being kinja commenters aren't they

gotta have somethin to do at work

I was really confused by the phrasing in this: http://gawker.com/texas-college-student-allegedly-killed-over-beer-pong-g-1709026113

Lacie LaRose, a 19-year-old student at Blinn College, was shot and killed at a graduation party last month after a fight that began as an argument over the rules of beer pong, according to one witness. Ronald McNeil, the 39-year-old alleged killer, told police that the fight was racially charged.

The Bryan-College Station Eagle reports that LaRose was killed at a May 2 party hosted in College Station, Tx., by Landon Duke, a 23-year-old recent graduate of Texas A&M. Duke told the Eagle that McNeil came back to his house and shot LaRose after he had already been escorted out of the party because of the earlier fight.

It took me like five reads to figure out that "by Landon Duke" was modifying "a May 2 party hosted" and not "LaRose was killed."

"While the social media mob is busy coming for Laxamana’s family, it’s also important to note that determining cause and effect when it comes to suicide isn’t easy"

nevertheless...

whenever gawker pretends to give a shit it makes their whole ethos ten times more infuriating

balance in all things

yo fuck hulk hogan

hey hulk hogan

FUCK you

i know, ridic

it's kind of hysterical that Hulk Hogan of all people poses such a grave threat to Gawker. another hilarious part of that article is the terrifying realization that the "whatever, we'll just settle out of court" strategy may not work in this case

hey is alfred reading this thread. alfred? you are a free speech absolutist, right? is this a meaningful use of free speech protections? if somebody filmed me having sex & posted it online i would want $100m, & would not be totally won over by the argument that somebody's right to free speech extended to buying/circulating the video. even if - even if - i had discussed having sex on the radio. am i wrong or is this dubious, i need counsel.

I pasted it in the wrong thread.

Saw this thread revived and assumed the NYT story was responsible.
