1. I bet the search wasn't anything more than your standard security terminal sweep but since a transgendered person was harassed recently by the TSA then Brianna had to be harassed too (even though Brianna refuses to identify as trans).

2. Good job at perpetuating the rape culture, Wutard.

3. Pretty much a confirmation that she did make a racist joke about Muslims.

This is SUCH bullshit. Does every trans person change their name so dramatically? Wouldnt some just go, i dunno, maybe from "brian" to "brianna"? I know most create a new identity, I guess, but not everyone tries to hide their former goof-ass identity like wu does.

In all fairness, she didn't start out trying to hide her identity. She went as "Brianna W. Flynt" before acquiring the Wu surname by marriage. You can't really fault her for picking a first name she liked, as long as she was going to have to change all her documents etc. anyway.

Because what's more "feminist" than taking your husband's name?

I would. Say what you will about him being an asshole - you'll be right - but his advice on this is fucking sound. The guy has been fighting trolls since the dark ages of the Internet, I'm inclined to believe that he knows how to deal with online harassers.

The guy is a dick, no argument, but if you're right, you're right. Simple as that. He accurately predicted everything that was going to happen to Bri, warned her about it, and calmly explained how to avoid it. She ignored him, and has continued down the exact same path.
I think this might have been my favorite update to the wiki thus far. Kudos, man.

The reason Revolution 60s textures weren’t the best was we supported the iPhone 4S, which is now 4 years old.

Giant Spacekat is moving forward, and bringing the visual upgrades for the PC version to iOS. We will only support 64 bit iPhones for R60:SE

I am aware that I wouldn't have noticed this except we're paying close attention to her. But like, of all the performance differences between the 4s and the iphone 5. The move to "64-bit" is probably the least significant to the quality of her game. I got curious and this means that she's excluding most iphone 5 as well as the 4S. At a glance the differences between the 4s and the 5 are massive, nearly double the clock speed and double the ram. The 32 bit 5c and the 64bit 5s are very small maybe there is something not so obvious going on in the graphics hardware but she's basically getting rid of everyone who doesn't have an iphone made in the last 2 years when they've barely changed at all in 3 years.
I wonder if she's still like a 90s console gamer where they think a 33 mhz 32 bit console is twice as fast as a 33mhz 16 bit console.
Since she's a software engineer that makes apple related products I'm sure she's well aware of all this so I'm going to stop my brogrammer mansplaining.

Some faggot: push mail to iOS with Apple's mail client. Big con: weird 2FA system, but they're working on that.
Brianna: @jcenters I'll take weird TFA over no TFA. Hey, @gsxoffice. Look at making this happen this week.

Rofl if my boss gave me an actionable over fucking twitter there is zero chance that it's getting done.
I have a 3rd degree burn scar on my thigh from getting so lost in Civ V, I didn't notice laptop heat vent scalding me slowly.
Click to expand...
Lol there is no fucking way you got a 3rd degree burn scar from a laptop. Old macs used to have a problem with getting a real hot spot on the case where the processor would dump all of it's heat into the same spot because of putting too much thermal paste down. That could probably give you a 2nd degree burn... that you would notice instantly.

Why does she have to make obvious exaggerations that are not even possible? I like to jazz up a fishing story a little sometimes but she can't say anything, no matter how mundane , without trying to enhance it in some manner.

I would argue that up until the end of that period console games were better than almost all PC games
NES 1991 8-bit, less than 2mhz clock and 2k - 390k (or less) ram.

80286 16mhz 500k ram 1994 (this is an exceptionally good game at the time)

Not that I really believe a thing Brianna says at this point, but TWO TSA patdowns in a single day? How the fuck do you manage that? I was just at the Minneapolis airport last month, and it is essentially a giant hub for nearly any connecting flight between the coasts, so they got all sorts of people going through there at any given time. That means all races, genders, religions, etc. To somehow stick out badly enough must take some serious talent.... or she went through the X-ray machine, and they had to check her bags, and she counts that as two patdowns...
 
Probably being huffy towards the 2nd set of TSA dicks. They do like to pick on those who gripe, know Johnny he said something under his breathe and they decided to give him the works.

I hate TSA myself but antagonizing them is just stupid.

Personally it wouldn't surprise me at all if the the reason she got extra attention is because she uses the same heavily photoshopped picture from her Twitter account as her drivers license/passport photo. People who work in security are supposed to be suspicious if you look nothing like the person on your id. THAT'S THEIR FUCKING JOB!
 
Big ol' Frank Wu article update coming thanks to a mystery benefactor. Let's just say don't be fooled.
 

http://tweetsave.com/spacekatgal/status/648336866073251842

I just got finished reading that Derek Smart article, and wow, no WONDER Wu took it so badly. He essentially told Wu to listen to himself and realize he's the epicenter of his own misery and he can stop by not feeding the trolls.

Smart is something of a troll himself, but unlike Wu, he can fight back better, knows his limits, and is a veteran of dealing with the negativity.

Worse, he ripped the veil of Wu's bullshit, called him a professional victim burying himself by his own retarded reactions to Wu's face, and that any shit Wu got was on Wu and Wu alone.

Honestly, I think Wu DID read all of that, if only to find a way to milk it for pity, and when Wu realized it was a callout that made him look stupid, he had a Pakman Show level freakout and tried to blow it off and make Derek look like the asshole.

Saddest part of all is that Smart is a borderline cow himself, and I still have much more respect for him, if only because he's self aware.

Smart is a crazy asshole, but he doesn't give up, ever, doesn't give a shit about what anyone else thinks, ever, and will not back down to threats from anyone, ever, much less utter pissants like Randwhale and Wu. No matter what they do, he'll just up the ante every fucking time.

I wouldn't want to be on his bad side.

One of those respondants Wu's gotten suspended, the other purportedly got a stern talking-to from Twitter.

Holy shit.


EDIT: Kiwis, it's time. Let's break out the shovels and dig into some shit.

Frank Wu. Let's find what we can. I thought he was initially just some idiot, but analysis has started to reveal to me that several people here were quite right - Just like Null was right about Vade driving Kenneth to suicide, these Kiwis were right about Frank being so much more than he appears.

All evidence is that he's the Aura to Brianna's Vade, the McIntosh to her Anita, the Lifshitz to her Quinn. Brianna Wu, Godzilla of Feminists is a two-man act. Since it's part of the Wu article anyway, let's dig this shit out by the roots and see what we uncover.

Yes, John, we understand. You get upset when someone else wants to be up on the cross with you.

And Glenn Seto is a sad little suckup.


Speaking of of sad little suckups...

It must be Monday. John is straight to Twitter, begging for attention from someone with more followers than he has.

Just "can't find the time", can you, John?


Dude.
