LOL... A male feminist ridding himself of his "toxic masculinity"? :?



Circle of Iron - it's a 70s film concept from Bruce Lee. Not the greatest film, but one of those flicks that's stuck in my head over the years for its bizarreness.
Thank you for reminding me that I saw that movie way too much on Cinemax/HBO as a kid. :cry:

NOT a great movie, despite its list of celebrities. That said it's probably worth a watch once in your life. Once. Unless you're tripping on LSD, which I'm pretty sure the writers were when they wrote it. :P

Nah if I want to stroll down memory lane give my Excalibur (1981). Probably the most graphic depiction of Arthur I ever witnessed. :twisted:

We need a full time staff to keep up with the regular distortions and intentional misrepresentations of the media. For instance - A bunch of heroic college-aged liberators tore down an oppressive civil war statue to win a victory for humanity recently, but I was too busy reading about the hate bigot who criminally refused service to a transgender to post about it.

Today Trump accused Google of rigging search results to make him look bad. Personally I don't think they are rigging the results, it's the entire game that is rigged. Google uses algorithms to calculate which results are the best for a search. They say this includes rating "trusted" sources higher. We all know that 95% of MSM are solid left, so it's not surprising that 95% of his coverage is negative. They go on to defend Google by making the argument that large audience = trustworthy.

Anyways, that wasn't the point of my post. This is:
CNN headline: "Trump slams Google search as rigged - it's not".

Then goes on to state in the article: "Google does not reveal the algorithms that power its search engine, or all the factors that go into why one news outlet would rank higher than another in search results."

So they state as a fact the results are not rigged in the headline, but admit halfway into the article that they do not know what the actual algorithm is.

They absolutely are rigging the search results. It's been proven again and again.
