Answer: That shade of blue was to honor a martyr who died in Sudan's riots. The martyr tried to protect two women from being beat up by the police, so the police killed him. Reportedly, this was his favorite color.
But seriously, the Sudan riots *sucked.* They used way too much police force!

Answer:
Here's a quick summary of the situation as I understand:
1. Slazo receives abuse allegations from his ex
2. YouTuber imalexx releases a (edit: Twitter) video on the topic painting Slazo in a very poor light without waiting for hos side of the story
3. Slazo releases [a video](https://youtu.be/6697EYDzEhI) explaining his side of the story, proving these allegations demonstrably false
So basically imalexx has falsely made Slazo look like a sexual abuser, something that will probably follow Slazo around for the rest of his career. I believe Dolan Dark did something similar too

Answer:
* Scooter Braun is an entrepreneur who also acts as manager for artists like Justin Bieber, Kanye West, and Ariana Grande. He bought the label/studio Big Machine Records for over $300 million on June 30, 2019.
* Taylor Swift was signed with Big Machine Records as her label from 2005 through late 2018. Upon leaving BMR, she signed with Universal Music Group. She wanted ownership of her songs, recordings, and albums but said she would have to earn them back one at a time (one album back for every new album pumped out). Essentially, Swift was trying to gain full ownership of her music from the label but said that she knew CEO Scott Borchetta would sell BMR and in turn, sell Swift, her music, and her future.
* Scott Borchetta responded saying that BMR offered a deal that would give her all the masters but Swift refused it, and provided an image of a document from late 2018 that appeared to be Swift and her management team asking for all of Swift's assets to be transferred over to her upon signing the new agreement. Per the document, BMR's response was they agreed to do so.
* Scooter Braun comes into this because he has a history with Swift that includes, in her own words, "manipulative bullying". The alleged bullying comes from when Swift and Kanye West had a feud regarding some lyrics in one of his songs which directly referenced Swift, an illegally recorded phone call that appeared to show Swift giving West permission to use the lyrics, and a nude, lifelike representation or Swift in the song's music video (which she called revenge porn). Now Swift is upset because the label she worked for that currently owns her musical past is now owned by someone who she claims "manipulatively bullied" her and that it's her "worst nightmare"

Answer: Voidz is a side project of Julian (Strokes vocalist) and Beardo is also in the band (among other projects). Beardo has, for years, been accused of sexual harassment/assault. He's a pretty big creep by most accounts. Julian has basically said Beardo is innocent unless charged and convicted of a crime.

Answer: It's like this on every subreddit. Automoderator is programmed to remove comments that meet certain conditions.
If the account is too new, if it contains specific phrases or matches on something that looks like an address or email, if it's a link to another subreddit, if it gets reported a bunch, etc, then it might be removed automatically pending moderator review.
**edit** I misunderstood what you meant by hidden.
This is a new subreddit setting that the admins rolled out a couple of months ago called Brigade Mode. It minimizes your comment if you have low karma in that subreddit. It's supposed to limit cross community interference.

What's up with certain comments being hidden on r/PoliticalHumor even when they're not downvoted?
|
Certain comments are hidden on r/PoliticalHumor even though they aren't downvoted. Many of them have 1 upvote, sometimes they have multiple upvotes yet are still hidden. Some comments are hidden and they're only minutes old. What's going on with this? I haven't seen anything like this before, normally comments are only hidden when they have 5 or more downvotes.
Here's a pic (I also have video proof that these comments aren't downvoted, but I don't know a good platform that hosts MP4s).
http://i.imgur.com/wNF16AT.jpg
Or, you can just visit the subreddit and view any popular post to see for yourself. If the comment score is hidden, you can click on the person's profile and view their comment history to see the score of the comment.

Answer:
​
Here is an unbiased answer for someone on "The other perspective."
Epic Games, owner of fortnite, launched their own game launcher and began securing exclusives for it. It came out that Epic was paying Developers for timed exclusives on their platform, with Metro: Exodus being the first major one. People didn't like this, and started to get mad about it, as games like The Outer Worlds and Borderlands 3 because exclusives, which would mean they would be available on a platform other than steam, but also do to concerns (which, I cannot confirm the validity of) that Epic Games puts spyware on people's computers.
As Epic got more and more games to be timed exclusives on their platform, people got more and more angry. Eventually, [/r/fuckepic](https://www.reddit.com/r/fuckepic/) was created, and all that started to go down, which calls of boycotts and the such.
However, some view this entire controversy as overblown and hope that Epic Store encourages Steam to get better and to stop flooding their store with cheap asset flips.

Answer: Photo filters have become a trendy tool when posting to social media, and sometimes the results of a certain filter become popular. The "old person" filter on the app has gained attention as it uses an algorithm to age your face rather than putting the same style on everyone. It's gained so much popularity that celebs are now doing it and posting their results. [There is speculations of privacy concerns when using the app](https://www.theverge.com/2019/7/17/20697771/faceapp-privacy-concerns-ios-android-old-age-filter-russia) but for the most part this is simply a social media fad.

Answer: also spoiler warning for anyone who hasn't seen Avengers: Endgame.
After Avengers: Infinity War there was a post that stated if enough people upvoted it, the mods of r/thanosdidnothingwrong would ban half of the users of the subreddit to mirror the events of Infinity War. The post reached the required upvotes and indiscriminately banned half of their subscribers.
Now that Endgame has come out and the characters that were snapped out of existence have come back, people are advocating for the same to happen in the subreddit.

Answer: It's common in professional and newswriting to use quotes when invoking terms which are in popular use but not descriptive or official enough to be universal.
As to who first called them that, [these guys](https://www.mediaite.com/politics/aocs-squad-who-in-the-media-is-to-blame-for-making-this-a-thing/) (decidedly negative on the term) did a search and attribute its *popularization*, if not its first-ever use, to Maureen Dowd and Daily Beast's Jonathan Alter. For better or worse it's a way of lumping together a few progressive congresswomen with a similar profile, opposition to the GOP top brass and idea of shaking up Congress's generally older and whiter demographics.

Answer: Caff, a content creator at Yogs, was outed as having used his position to gain sexual favours/exploit members of his community. [Thread here.](https://www.reddit.com/r/Yogscast/comments/c9fkhp/seems_like_caff_did_other_things_than_just_asmr/)
Following this revelation Lewis, one of the founders of Yogs, called in an independent HR company to investigate other allegations. The allegations centred around Turps, the CEO, as well as historic claims against Sjin, another Yogs creator.
Today Turps announced his resignation in the thread you linked due to him sending sexually suggestive as well as explicit messages to fans who may have been underage at the time of the messages. Lewis also announced today that Sjin will be taking a step back from the main channel whilst the historic claims against him are investigated further.
TLDR; content creators abusing their position to sexually exploit their fans

Answer: The places they are trying to take a beautiful picture of typically takes a lot of effort in some form of travel one way or another. After spending time and money to have that enlightening moment of pure majestic nature, nature takes a shit on their plans and obscure the scenery.
Same outcome but other reasons to replace enlightenment with can also include, jealousy, envy, arrogance, pompous, bragging, elitist... The reasoning isn't really the point of the posts though, the focus is nature pissed in their wheaties.

Answer:
ICE was created in 2003 through a merger of the investigative and interior enforcement elements of the former U.S. Customs Service and the Immigration and Naturalization Service. ICE now has more than 20,000 law enforcement and support personnel in more than 400 offices in the United States and around the world.

What is ICE and why are people talking about it?
|
I've been seeing a number of posts and comments referring to ICE and something I don't know about happening right now.
I can't find any relevant definition other than "ice" and "In Case of Emergency".
Me being European might be the cause of that.
Please can anyone explain?

Answer:
ICE stands for "Immigration and Customs Enforcement" and was created sometime in the early 2000's. You can find out more of the specifics here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Immigration_and_Customs_Enforcement
As to why it's being talked about now, our President announced they were going to do some massive raids to round up a bunch of illegals. Something happened and it was called off (can't remember why). They then decided to do it this past Sunday, and the information about these raids occurring Sunday was trumpeted all over America. Combine that w/ all of the images recently viewed in the media on what's really happening in those centers.
Some people want ICE to do these raids, some people do not. It's a pretty complicated issue that for many isn't clearly black and white.

Answer: I think those stylized face masks come from the Japanese trend of wearing a face mask in public so as to not spread germs, I think they started doing that around the bird flu epidemic few years ago and now it's a fashion statement.

What’s up with bandanas/masks tied over the lower face?

Answer: They are two unrelated trends.
1. The first picture appears to be some form of modern radical chic. Basically people are dressing like antifa as a political or fashion statement. This may be a fresh expression of opposition to President Trump given his controversial tweets earlier this week.
2. The stylized face masks in the second picture are from Asian hygiene culture. Essentially, it is considered polite for a sick person to wear a mask so as to limit the spread of their illness. If you have to do that, then why not look nice?
Update: Minor update to number 1. Several cities have recently been considering banning the wearing of masks during political protests after some have turned violent. These bans aren't uncommon in the US as they were previously used to suppress the Ku Klux Klan. The recent uptick in radical chic mask-wearing may also be a reaction to this development.

Answer: I'm going to try and put aside my own personal biases to answer this one.
She's a very young, very outspoken politician who hit the ground running as soon as she was elected. However, the policies that she has proposed thus far are extremely polarizing, specifically the Green New Deal. Because she's so young, a lot of people discredit her because she doesn't have the same knowledge of political and economic systems that a lot of older politicians do. Thus people make fun of her for being inexperienced.
tl;dr She's a very controversial politician who a lot of people love and a lot of people hate.

Answer: There was a thread about a week ago about an employee who was posting on the subreddit. Corporate monitors the subreddit was able to track that employee down and fire them.
In response it was recommended to employees using the subreddit be cautious about what they post.
Walmart is deathly afraid of unionization, which is one of the reasons they monitor stuff like the subreddit. Due to laws, companies cant interfere or fire due to unionization. So it was recommended that everyone mention unionization in posts to act as a way to help protect posters. It would make walmart look for other ways to fire employees other then directly because of a post.

Answer: Here's a good summary - https://www.cubshq.com/update/Barstool-Chicago-wages-war-with-Cubs-over-beer-snakes-26974
In brief:
**What's a cupsnake?**
At Cubs games, there's a thing called "cupsnakes" which is where people stack a bunch of cups together and try to make the longest "snake" they can, getting help from other fans. The Cubs organization doesn't really like the trend. There's concerns about people getting overly drunk trying to add cups to the snake, and it's usually messy and spills beer all over the seats and random bystanders. The cups are supposed to be empty, but there's always drips and spillage.
**Barstool...?**
Barstool is a media network comprised of various Twitter accounts, podcasts, blogs, etc. They offered a shirt in Chicago Cubs colors, featuring a Chicago flag star, and an image of a cupsnake saying "Come and take it."
The Cubs organization has banned the shirts from the park and are pissed about Barstool turning it into a joke.
**Ligma?**
A Twitter user who apparently was an usher at Wrigley who went on the Barstool podcast and talked about how the Cubs organization was frustrated trying to fight the cupsnake trend.

Answer: When a bill has to be agreed upon, it can also have other bills or issues attached to it, so that the entire package has to be agreed upon at once. Some unscrupulous politicians will do things like attach funding for their personal project to a bill that includes funding they think no-one will vote against - this is called "pork" as in, that bill was good before it got stuffed full of pork. If too many politicians do this, the bill becomes bloated and the issue gets voted against anyway.
In the past when the issue of continuing the 9/11 relief came up, various politicians either attached other expenses to the fund, or argued that the money to pay should come from other places, not their district or their budget.
If you examine the political leanings of the politicians who did this, you will notice a pattern. They are people who tended to speak very highly of supporting the troops, but also speak highly of less Government aid, and when it came time to support first responders it seemed that some of them saw more 'Government aid' and less 'supporting troops' in the idea of continuing to pay for their medical needs.
Without a public figure like a politician or a celebrity making this fund into a personal issue and keeping the attention on it, it gets buried among all the other needs of our country. Jon Stewart passionately kept fighting to get these responders their medical fund, when no politician or Congressperson over the last 18 years was willing to make it Their Issue that they stand up for.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell currently has the power to squash it. He has made statements that make it sound as if he won't, while simultaneously attacking Jon Stewart for "being offended" (his words) that it took 18 years of fighting to get this far.

Answer:
Because drug lords often find success by ingratiating themselves with the population, winning them over by sympathy and respect than by fear. It's very common for drug lords to invest heavily in poor communities, communities that the government often neglects, especially if it's a corrupt government that funnels tax money into their own profits. Sometimes even small gestures, such as donating textbooks to poorer schools, are enough. For people who would otherwise struggle to educate their children or make ends meet, these criminals become more legitimate patrons of the community than polititians. My guess is that El Chapo has done something similar. Not condoning it, just pointing out that it's a successful strategy.
> who's responsible for much of the country's deadly drug war
He's not really the sole culprit. There is a very high demand on drugs from a certain country bordering Mexico in the north, which is often responsible for financing Mexican kingpins. Just as you focused on him as the one to blame due to media influence, the people of Sinaloa likely have the converse effect: they see Chapo as Robin Hood, the Mexican authorities as the illegitimate Prince John, and the US's role in the drug war as the Sheriff of Nottingham.

Answer: It's fairly common for the leaders of drug cartels and other criminal organizations to provide legitimate services to the local population that the government can't or won't, such as security and funding for infrastructure and social services. This improves their public image, and therefore reduces cooperation between the population and the authorities. For a couple of other examples, Al Capone opened a soup kitchen in the Great Depression, and there were still some places in the Chicago area that were run by the Mafia as late as the 70's and 80's. *Unsanctioned* criminal activity was not tolerated, and was likely to be punished with a beating or worse.

Answer: It's just following in the tradition of Jesús Malverde (1870–1909), sometimes known as the "Cjuba Lord", "angel of the poor" or the "narco-saint", a folklore hero in the Mexican state of Sinaloa. He was of Yoreme and Spanish heritage. He is a "Robin Hood figure" who was supposed to have stolen from the rich to give to the poor.
He is celebrated as a folk saint by some in Mexico and the United States, particularly among those involved in drug trafficking.

Answer: these kinds of things have been going on for a long time. Like Al Capone would open soup kitchens for the poor during the depression. Lots of criminals will invest in poor communities to gather sympathy from its population, it turns the public eye in a better light. Instead of people being fearful of them, or talking about all the drugs he sells to people and children, or all the peoples has had tortured and murdered they will remember him as someone that gave books to schools or built a hospital, and that the government that didn’t invest in their community is corrupt and evil and doesn’t care for them. It’s essentially brainwashing.

Answer: I'll add more context on what has led up to the protests over the past several years, and let others focus on the current event aspect.
The protests are an attempt to stop the [Thirty Meter Telescope](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thirty_Meter_Telescope), classified as an [extremely large telescope](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c5/Comparison_optical_telescope_primary_mirrors.svg/2000px-Comparison_optical_telescope_primary_mirrors.svg.png). To oversimplify the size, the larger a telescope the more light it gathers and the fainter an object it can see.
Hawaii, specifically [Mauna Kea](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mauna_Kea_Observatories) on the Big Island, has long been a place for installing telescopes, along with other isolated island chains. As Wikipedia summarizes, "The location is near ideal because of its dark skies from lack of light pollution, good astronomical seeing, low humidity, high elevation of 4,205 meters (13,796 ft), position above most of the water vapor in the atmosphere, clean air, good weather and low latitude location." I'll also add it's close to major infrastructure, easing access and construction, but far enough away to minimize the downsides major cities bring with them (as summarized above).
[Ever since these telescopes began there has been opposition](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opposition_to_the_Mauna_Kea_Observatories), and Wikipedia summarizes these as follows:
>Native kānaka ʻōiwi believed the entire site was sacred and that developing the mountain, even for science, would spoil the area. Environmentalists were concerned about rare native bird populations and other citizens of Hilo were concerned about the sight of the domes from the city. Using town hall meetings, Jefferies was able to overcome opposition by weighing the economic advantage and prestige the island would receive.[6] There has been substantial opposition to the Mauna Kea observatories that continues to grow.[14] Over the years, the opposition to the observatories may have become the most visible example of the conflict western science has encountered over access and use of environmental and culturally significant sites.[15] Opposition to development grew shortly after expansion of the observatories commenced. Once access was opened up by the roadway to the summit, skiers began using it for recreation and objected when the road was closed as a precaution against vandalism when the telescopes were being built. Hunters voiced concerns, as did the Hawaiian Audubon Society, which was supported by Governor George Ariyoshi.[10]
The Thirty Meter Telescope, however, has attracted even more protests, including [major protests in October 2014 that stalled the project](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thirty_Meter_Telescope_protests). The site was tentatively approved in 2011 and officially approved in 2013. The 2014 protests led to revoking the building permit in December 2015, stating the Board of Land and Natural Resources didn't follow due process, but the astronomers launched an appeal. [Last October]() the Hawaiian Supreme Court issued [this ruling](https://law.justia.com/cases/hawaii/supreme-court/2018/scot-17-0000777.html) ([direct PDF link](https://cases.justia.com/hawaii/supreme-court/2018-scot-17-0000777.pdf?ts=1540934530)), which states:
>Upon careful consideration of the written submissions, the applicable law, and the oral arguments, and for the reasons explained below, we now affirm the BLNR’s decision authorizing issuance of a Conservation District Use Permit (“CDUP”) for the Thirty Meter Telescope (“TMT”).
The opinion provides further details on all these points I have mentioned, the history of the site and opposition, and reasons for revoking and later approving the TMT permit, including many that I have not covered here as they appear unrelated to the protests. Specifically regarding cultural heritage, that starts on page 32 of the PDF. Suffice to say the Hawaiian Supreme Court ruled the Board followed the first two requirements of a test to determine impact on local Hawaiian cultural sites, found there would be little or no impact ("The BLNR found no evidence, however, of Native Hawaiian cultural resources, including traditional and customary practices, within the TMT Observatory site area and the Access Way, which it characterized as the relevant area"), and thus the third requirement ("feasible action, if any, to be taken to reasonably protect Native Hawaiian rights if they are found to exist") was "not required to be addressed". There are a couple more minor points on this major one, but these are largely procedural and clearly of secondary importance compared to this one.
This allowed construction to resume, and [it is to start next week](https://www.npr.org/2019/07/15/741990200/hawaii-protesters-block-access-road-to-stop-construction-of-massive-telescope). At this point we get to the current protests, which others have covered, so having covered the background I will refer you to their summaries.
E: minor spelling/grammar errors.

What’s going on with the Hawaiian protestors?
|
I’ve been seeing a lot of videos of protestors being surrounded by police on one of the smaller Hawaiian islands.
This one was in my Instagram feed from actor Jason Mamoa: [https://www.instagram.com/p/B0ChWYLAHk_/?igshid=onguol6f2kxd](https://www.instagram.com/p/B0ChWYLAHk_/?igshid=onguol6f2kxd)

Answer: "Stan" is a term for an extreme fan, in reference to the song "Stan" by Eminem. Kamala Harris is an American Presidential Candidate. So a Kamala Stan would be a zealous fan of Kamala Harris.

Answer:
In short, they've all said things that have been taken up by the right wing as a way of stirring up the base, but there is nothing -- and I reiterate, *nothing* -- that has been said by them that would justify Trump's comments that they 'go back to where they came from'. The statements that have allegedly been made are either factually inaccurate, taken out of context to an almost *absurd* degree, or were -- in one case -- poorly worded and perhaps not what you'd expect from a politician, but still nothing compared to what the Trump administration puts out on a regular basis. **What we're seeing is (by and large) political theatre, *not* genuine outrage.**
There are only three things that justifiably explain the focus these women have received from the right: they're non-white women (which, it's fair to say, rankles at least a portion of Trump's base), they're progressive Democrats, and they've been vocal in their opposition to the President. They're a perfect lightning rod for right-wing outrage.
#So who are 'The Squad', anyway?
If there's one story that was on everyone's lips after the 2018 midterms, it was the increasing prevalence of women of colour in Congress. More women ran for and were elected to office in 2018 than at any point in the nation's history, and -- while they weren't the only four women of colour who entered Congress as freshmen in 2018 -- four of them stood out immediately.
* [Ayanna Pressley](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayanna_Pressley), Congresswoman from Massachusetts's 7th district.
* [Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandria_Ocasio-Cortez) (also known as AOC), Congresswoman from New York's 14th district.
* [Rashida Tlaib](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rashida_Tlaib), Congresswoman from Michigan's 13th district.
* [Ilhan Omar](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilhan_Omar), Congresswoman from Minnesota's 5th district.
Perhaps because they stood out, they've been singled out for increasing criticism by Donald Trump (and, in some cases, by Nancy Pelosi as well), largely as a result of being outspoken and being perceived as part of a 'new wave' for the Democratic party: one that leans towards the progressive, and one that is vocally opposed to current Republican policies.
**Ayanna Pressley**
Pressley received a lot of attention due to the fact that she was the first African-American Congresswoman elected in Massachusetts, but unlike the other three there doesn't appear to have been much in the way of a specific scandal that's attached to her. She's progressive and outspoken against Trump, but that appears to be all. (If anyone has more information about specific scandals involving Pressley, please let me know.) Her election is notable for the fact that her district is so heavily Democratic-leaning that no Republican even filed to run against her; as with AOC, she was an unexpected winner of her primary.
**Rashida Tlaib**
Along with Ilhan Omar, Tlaib was one of the first two Muslim women elected to Congress. Tlaib hit the controversy button pretty hard at a MoveOn rally on January 4th, just hours after being sworn in. She
>When your son looks at you and said ‘Mamma, look, you won — bullies don’t win.’ And I said, ‘Baby they don’t, because we’re gonna go in there and [we’re gonna impeach the motherfucker!](https://twitter.com/LevineJonathan/status/1081037086621339648)’
That same day, she had published an Op-Ed entitled ['Now is the time to begin impeachment proceedings against President Trump'](https://eu.freep.com/story/opinion/contributors/2019/01/03/donald-trump-impeachment/2463127002/), and had been a vocal proponent of impeachment before, so it's not surprising that people jumped all over it. Trump in particular made note of it at a press conference:
>[I thought her comments were disgraceful. This is a person that I don't know. I assume she's new. I think she dishonored herself, and I think she dishonored her family. Using language like that in front of her son, and whoever else was there, I thought that was a great dishonor to her and to her family. I thought it was highly disrespectful to the United States of America.](https://www.politico.com/story/2019/01/04/trump-tlaib-impeachment-comments-disgraceful-1081548)
It wasn't just Republicans that criticised her for this; senior Democrats, including [Nancy Pelosi and Jerry Nadler](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/jan/05/house-democrats-rashida-tlaib-trump-impeach), also chided her -- although mostly for the call for impeachment, not so much for the language used.
Tlaib *did* apologise for her outburst -- but, she made clear, not the 'anger or outrage' she felt:
>[I understand that I am a member of Congress, and I don’t want anything that I do or say to distract us. And that’s the only thing that I apologize for — that it was a distraction.](https://thehill.com/homenews/house/424347-tlaib-says-shes-sorry-her-motherf-cker-comment-was-a-distraction)
Earlier, she had tweeted ['I will always speak truth to power. #unapologeticallyMe'](https://twitter.com/RashidaTlaib/status/1081190513691246592), and that's about as far as the story went on it. Tlaib has continued to be one of the loudest voices calling for Trump's impeachment.
[#ImpeachTheMotherfucker](https://twitter.com/hashtag/impeachthemotherfucker?lang=en) still regularly features as a Twitter hashtag.
**Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez**
AOC is one of the favourite targets of the right, and their main focus is that she's an outspoken Democratic Socialist in the Bernie Sanders mould. (In fact, she worked as an organiser for the Sanders campaign in 2016.) It's important to remember that AOC basically came out of nowhere as far as Congressional politics is concerned. She beat [ten-term incumbent Joe Crowley in a real David and Goliath primary](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_United_States_House_of_Representatives_elections_in_New_York#District_14) -- a man who was tipped to become the next Speaker after Pelosi decides she's done with politics -- and emerged as the youngest ever woman in Congress.
AOC is unusual in this one because she's been criticised from the Left almost as much as from the right. [Her run-ins with Nancy Pelosi have been many and varied](https://jacobinmag.com/2019/07/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-aoc-nancy-pelosi-democratic-party), largely stemming from the fact that she has been perceived as being one of the faces of the party's new progressive wing at a time when establishment Democrats are perceived as holding the centre (so as not to lose undecided voters who might be scared off by more socialist ideas).
Before this whole incident, AOC hasn't often been singled out for criticism by Trump -- at least, not on Twitter; her [@AOC account](https://twitter.com/AOC) regularly makes the news, and she's regarded as being one of the most [social media-savvy members of Congress](https://www.axios.com/ocasio-cortez-dominates-twitter-6a997938-b8a5-4a8b-a895-0a1bcd073fea.html) -- but she's a regular target for other members of the right. Some of it is ideological -- she was largely the face of the Green New Deal, which resulted in members of the GOP saying she wanted to 'ban hamburgers and air travel' (which the Green New Deal does not, in any way) -- but some of it is just bizarre, like the [weird attempts to bash her for dancing in college](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/jan/04/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-college-dance-video-discredit-backfires) or [for working as a bartender before entering politics](https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-alexandria-ocasio-cortez-bartender-2019-4?r=US&IR=T). She also stirred up controversy by vocally -- and perhaps accurately, depending on who you ask -- describing the detention centres at the border as 'concentration camps'.

What's the deal with the four female members of Congress supposedly attacking the USA?
|
Apologies if the question is a bit clunky, have to follow the formatting rule.
Anyway, I'm not American and I'm struggling to find what statements these women have made that prompted the attacks from Trump, and which led Trump and his base to believe that they hate the USA. I've tried Googling, but I just get a slew of articles on the wider story.
Trump's tweet: https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/1150381394234941448
The members of Congress:-
* Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
* Ilhan Omar
* Ayanna Pressley
* Rashida Tlaib

Answer: It's mainly discords going into panic mode, what will most likely happen is round two of the phishing scam, but on a slightly larger scale. Apparently the bot is pure. While you should encourage everyone to get 2FA \*anyway\* do not give in to this kind of fear mongering. It's nowhere near as dangerous as people make it out to be and it's nothing that common sense can't solve.

What's up with the whole "Discord getting nuked" thing?
|
About... I'd say a few months ago, there was this phishing link going through Discord that stole your password, and used your account to spread the link, and so on. If you go back onto that website, it's been shut down (well, not shut down, it just doesn't let you enter your info and is pretty much a blank page), and all there is is a message:
"Thought we were gone? Think again. The 27th of July will be a big day..."
Along this this, there've been rumors about them "nuking Discord," which is why I'm asking this. There's also something about this bot named "KawaiiBot," which might've been hacked or something, and could be part of the nuking.
​
I do have some screenshots, which I will link below.
The webpage (with the message on it):
[https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/505468359685570571/597261690152943641/image0.jpg](https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/505468359685570571/597261690152943641/image0.jpg)

**HERE'S THE HACKER'S RESPONSE: https://discordgg.ga/dump**
Only 2522 logins were collected. You're probably ok.
Edit: The link is not actually discord. It's the hacker's website. It's a simple text post detailing how discord's API is "moronic" and that they were kinda dissapointed in the whole thing overall.

Answer:
The site won't load for me currently and it's over. Nothing happens on 27th July.
Those kids just wanted attention. They were not hacking at all - register free .ga domain, make it look as legit as you can by copying Discord's login page, add some lines of js to transfer the login details to their SQL database and make a bot to catch up more people.
.ga domains are free, along with "Discord's well-docummented API". This could mean they had no money at all.
Getting token by using bot is not hard - all you need is to open up web-inspector and you can find it. I strongly dislike tokens and the way you can ruin other people's account just by having token and basic js skill. Discord should really look into that.
The biggest oof is, that when someone has your token, they can bypass any additional security mechanism, including 2fa. So as you might think, 2fa won't really help you if you gave them your login details.
Since they got a really big attention around the internet, people started to talk about it without even knowing that they have just spread the database over other sites.
Pros: sites like HaveIBeenPwned can check if your account has been pwned (eg. your personal information has been obtained) or not by using the database. I strongly recommend you to check that site guys.
Cons: Althought the database was vanished kinda quickly, some people might have kept it and this would be serious problem in the near future because of other kids.
I personally think that when they wanted to point out how is Discord API unsecure, they didn't got attention. In their message after the attack, they made a special personal-message for Discord about their API. Maybe a demonstration of what can happen, I don't know.
I bet nothing happens at 27th July at all. Maybe they plan to do something, but I'm pretty sure they just wanted to scare us. They even admitted it in the message. Phishing over.

Answer: It's nativism for sure. It's racism, sexism, and old fashioned McCarthyism as well. The Republicans want to make Ilhan Omar the face of the Democratic Party by any means necessary, because she scares their base.
The problem for Democratic leadership is that a lot of them don't agree with Ilhan Omar on various issues, and would like her to behave like a freshman representative, seen but not heard. Yet if they criticize her they get implicated in the vicious witch hunts of the Republican right.

Answer: for me, also in the UK, I get a message “This channel is not available in your country.” when viewing the channel page.
The video appears to work fine. My guess is it’s a legal thing - they’re not allowed to ‘promote’ their videos to UK audiences (by linking them from their channel) but if you have the link it still works (like an unlisted video).

Answer: r/relationships has kind of turned into a stereotype sub with a lot of bad information. There’s been a lot of jokes and memes on various other subs poking fun at the kind of advice people give. The low hanging fruit jokes are kinda, “my boyfriend usually comes home around 5:45pm, he got home at 5:50pm, is he cheating on me?” With a lot of the responses being, “YES , lawyer up, dump his lying cheating ass”. Overall a lot of the advice isn’t constructive, it’s just dump them and move on even over trivial things. It’s just turned into a toxic sub with an agenda.

What's up with r/Relationships?

I remember a year ago Relationships was one of the most popular subs on the site, with the occasional front page submission. Now it sits at 6000 active users for it's 2.5 million subscribers, while Relationship_advice has like 7 times the active user base. Did something happen? Google provides no explanation.

Also the posting rules for this sub are AIDS. Seriously, "what happened to?" Isn't a valid title?

Answer: This is mostly opinion on my part, I don't know if anything *specific* happened to cause this.
But I used to be a very frequent r/relationships poster/browser and slowly stopped interacting with the sub. The mod team acts very heavy-handedly but completely inconsistently.
The sub also attracts a very specific type of person (that I won't bother singling out because of this sub's bias rules) that makes the kind of advice they give/upvote very one-sided and (ironically) biased.
It's only natural that people would start abandoning that sub for better ones. /r/relationship_advice, /r/AmItheAsshole, /r/legaladvice, etc all offer what /r/relationships does but much much better

Answer: Japan has put restrictions on the exportation of controlled chemical substances to South Korean. The official report by the Japanese government says that the tech companies importing these good (i.e Samsung) have not been handling them properly. Other reports state that the controlled substances were found in North Korea. South Korea of course refutes these claims, and now South Koreans are boycotting Japanese exported goods. While this is t particularly devastating as of yet, it has the potential to grow into something much worse. Samsung and other Korean tech companies have some back stock of chips and other materials so the trade restrictions won’t affect them yet, however Japan and Korea have a very turbulent history. South Koreans do not believe that Japan has paid just reparations for their actions against the Korean population in WWII.

Answer: justin Trudeau made a comment after Trumps racist remarks towards the Squad telling them if they don’t like America then they should go back to where they came from. Trudeau basically says it’s a shame and that Canadians would never say things like that. That Canadians have respect and to be more like Canada. Something along those lines. But turns out there are a lot of Trump supporters and they’re like don’t speak for us, we’re racist as fuck too. And they want him ousted because they’re in agreement with Trump.

Answer: He is charged with sex trafficking minors. This is a big deal because he is connected to the famous and wealthy, while he himself has wealth.
He had a private jet people called the "lolita express", and many people theorize he made his wealth not as a hedge fund manager but from black mailing wealthy people with photos of them with minors.
He was arrested on similar charges in Florida but was given a comparatively light sentence.

What’s up with Jeffrey Epstein and what did he do?
|
Never heard his name before, but I hop on Popular and there’s a post with 70k+ upvotes about him being arrested without bail.
What did he do?

Answer: Epstein was originally charged with having sex with a minor back in the early 2000's, and received what many considered an unacceptably light sentence in exchange for a plea deal that also prevented numerous federal charges. He recently was arrested again as part of an ongoing investigation into his continued abuse and sex trafficking of underage girls.
The original deal, along with the people involved, are part of the reason this is getting a lot of attention, though, because there's some... odd connections - namely, to the Trump administration, so a lot of people are talking about it.
It's a real rabbit hole, and I'm probably gonna sound a little crazy. But there's a lot of dots to connect.
His charges were pretty damning at the time, with over 30 victims being identified at the time. Part of the deal was arranged by Alexander Acosta, essentially exchanging a plea deal for a "non persecution agreement" that shut down further investigations that had been ongoing with Epstein. It also was found recently to violate victims' rights as they weren't informed of it until long after it had already been set in stone. Another part of it was he was allowed to basically "choose" which plea he wanted to be guilty of, opting for prostitution of a 17 year old rather than a 14 year old he was also charged with. Part of his plea deal not only put him in a very low security wing, but also gave him an exorbitant amount of "work leave" to continue doing his business. Pleading guilty to a single state-level charge also halted the ongoing *Federal* charges, which were had identified the above-mentioned 30+ victims.
I mentioned Alexander Acosta as organizing the plea deal. Acosta is now the US Secretary of Labor under the Trump Administration. He recently proposed budget cuts in the Labor Department's International Labor Affairs Bureau from an original $68 million to under $20 million. The International Labor Affairs Bureau handles a lot of cases directly regarding child labor, human trafficking, and relevant to this case, child prostitution and sex trafficking. In the wake of Epstein's new arrest, he's resigning effective today I believe.
Additionally, William Barr, the current Attorney General under the Trump Administration, worked for the law firm that represented Epstein during the case. While he's said he's recusing himself over an investigation into Acosta's direct involvement, he's not recusing himself from the actual Epstein charges.
On top of that, we have comments from Trump from years ago talking about how great of a guy Epstein was, directly referencing his preference for younger women. And also had a "party" with 28 young women, himself, and Epstein alone in 1992 at Mar-a-lago.
I won't comment on the connections or what they may or may not mean - there are a lot of people in the high upper class that are likely to run in the same circles, so it doesn't necessarily *mean* anything, but the potential connections and questions about it have made an already flashpoint case much more intense and getting a lot more focus and attention it might have otherwise.
Epstein had a bail hearing earlier this week, but the [bail was denied](https://www.cnn.com/2019/07/18/us/jeffrey-epstein-bail-decision/index.html) and he's currently being held in isolation at a Federal detention center. Found among his possessions during raids on his homes was a locked safe containing over $70,000 in cash, around 50 loose untraceable diamonds, and an expired Australian passport that featured Epstein's photograph, but was otherwise entirely false, using a fake name and listing his country of residence as Saudi Arabia. From CNN's article:
> In denying Epstein bail, the judge agreed with the determination by prosecutors from the Manhattan US Attorney's office that Epstein would likely flee the country if released from jail, even under house arrest.
> The judge wrote that several factors made Epstein "a 'classic' flight risk." His "significant" wealth and resources, including his ownership of a private jet; his limited family ties in the United States; and the potential 45-year prison sentence he faces if convicted "provide incentive, motive and wherewithal to flee," the judge wrote.
> Among the evidence presented by the government that appeared to sway the judge were items prosecutors have said were recovered from a locked safe in Epstein's home: more than $70,000 in cash, 48 loose diamonds and a foreign passport, now expired, displaying Epstein's photograph and a different name.
> In addition, the judge noted, Epstein's "vast wealth and influential contacts have provided him with the means to pay individuals to assist him in unlawful endeavors, including potentially fleeing the jurisdiction."
So right now he's in jail until a potential trial. No date has been set, and it's likely going to take a long time for appeals and such to go through, as well as potential offers for plea deals. A concern and another reason for so much discussion is the number of high powered connections and government links that Epstein may or may not have. Among the other materials found in the raids on his homes were numerous DVDs or CDs labeled as Name + Name or something similar, and depending on how much information gets out, there's the potential for a lot of the high upper class to be implicated in the case as well.
**Personal Bias:** I don't see a plea deal likely though. In the light of his previous extraordinary light plea deal, giving him *another* one would look incredibly stupid on the part of the prosecutors.

Answer:
Update 1.14.0 was released a few weeks ago that added some things to the game, which already got some people back into it.
Additionally, Pewdiepie started playing it and enoyed it so much that he pumped out a Minecraft video on an almost daily basis (also started 2+ weeks ago). Considering his follower count, that also already affects many people. The video with James Charles was just for memes. r/Pewdiepiesubmissions had memes about them a while ago, saying they should collab for a video (jokingly, they tend to say it about pretty much everyone).
Then there was this streamer/youtuber (I don't remember the name) who recently died on a hardcore world he created 5 years ago, practically meaning the world was forever deleted because he died. That gained some attention as well, because people wanted to see his new season and also attempt a hardcore survival on their own.
And there also often is this "cycle" that people go through: "Hey I wanna play it again" -> "Man this is fun" -> "It's getting boring again". This "cycle" often only takes a couple weeks or months. People who liked to play Minecraft normally tend to return at some point, even if it's just for a few days. Watching someone else start over may cause you to want to do the same.
Minecraft memes have also been present for months. If a new meme comes up, you'll usually find it remade in Minecraft within 1-3 days.

Answer: Simply its an oversaturation and people are sick of it. This in combination with entitled brats and influencers overexaggerating their real success. To address that "99% of influencers... are paid to promote a product", I have no idea where you got that laughable statistic. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, and say that sponsorship is no longer a sign of success. A lot of companies hand out sponsorships like free pens at a career fair. Often these sponsorships just involve them shipping the influencer free product or a laughable monetary compensation. The real success is the amount of different sponsorships one has and posts. The full-time influencers that meet this are in the top 1%, not the 99%.

What is up with all the hate against influencers?

At first glance the hate seems to be from the idea that they are all entitled brats. But if you look closely 99% of influencers are just attractive people who get paid to promote a product. There not different from you tubers or streamers who take sponsorships.
But as for the bratty ones, like I said they make up a small minority of them so I don’t get why the hate it spread across them all. Every couple weeks or so we have a story about an entitled influencer but at pretty much the same rate we get stories about streamers doing bad things (n words, distasteful irl streams etc) and yet we don’t group all streamers into a clump like we do influencers.
What really inspired this post was on the “ask Reddit” thread called “what’s needs to F off” and one of the top answers was “instagram influencers” (https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/cew4uu/what_can_just_fuck_off/eu5iqzu/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app)

Answer:
Being an influencer doesn't (appear to) require any remarkable skill or talent. As you mentioned, the key requirement is being attractive, which will inevitably hit a chord for insecure people. Looks are also, for the most part, not considered something that one works for, beyond working out.
> There not different from youtubers or streamers who take sponsorships.
And if you don't think they don't get their fair share of hate, you aren't paying attention. The main difference is that the bulk of the hate they get is from the mainstream media (because new media threatens old media), and plenty of people go along with it. Just look at how so many people talk about Pewdipy or whatever his screename is.
And unlike youtubers or streamers, influencers don't really provide entertainment. Or at least, not in the volume that the other two do. People watch youtubers because they are entertained. Influencers are a lot more transparent regarding their motivations, which is money, and that puts people off.

Answer: Not always, but quite often, "influencers" are just making glorified commercials, which people find frustrating. It's one thing for those that do a quick fifteen-thirty second intro about being sponsored (or maybe at a point in the middle or ending), but there are ones who do entire videos about "OMG look at this great product!" and it juts comes off as very pandering. They try to come off as being genuine or making their own content, when a lot of it is basically just sponsored content promoted by whoever they're shilling for.

What is up with all the hate against influencers?
|
At first glance the hate seems to be from the idea that they are all entitled brats. But if you look closely 99% of influencers are just attractive people who get paid to promote a product. There not different from you tubers or streamers who take sponsorships.
But as for the bratty ones, like I said they make up a small minority of them so I don’t get why the hate it spread across them all. Every couple weeks or so we have a story about an entitled influencer but at pretty much the same rate we get stories about streamers doing bad things (n words, distasteful irl streams etc) and yet we don’t group all streamers into a clump like we do influencers.
What really inspired this post was on the “ask Reddit” thread called “what’s needs to F off” and one of the top answers was “instagram influencers” (https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/cew4uu/what_can_just_fuck_off/eu5iqzu/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app)

Answer: At least in the US, many houses and buildings have these flexible springs near doors that prevent an opening door from coming into contact with the wall, where it may damage the wall or scuff the paint. These springs can also be flicked to make a "boing" noise (and many people may bump into them with their feet, as they're often at foot-level, creating this sound unintentionally). AFAIK there's not a special name for them.

What is up with Belle Delphines Instagram page getting deleted?
|
So I don't know if I'm late to this or not but I started to see some memes about Belles Instagram account get deleted. I tried to search her up and found nothing. I'm not sure if she deleted her account because of all the hate from her pornhub/bathwater stunt she did. However I don't feel like she would go out of her way to deactivate her account because of it, I'm sure she was happy from all that money she made from selling her bathwater.
I don't know if she was mass reported or Instagram didn't feel like her lewd content wasn't fit for their platform.
If she did leave on her own, I wouldn't be surprised if meme pages took what happened and made it seem like they were responsible for getting her deleted.
Here are some screenshots of the account I seen report her, and of her unavailable Instagram.
[https://imgur.com/a/zfaXybG](https://imgur.com/a/zfaXybG)
So the real question here is was she deleted because of mass reporting, Instagram had their eye on her, or she was taking a break and deactivated or just completely deleted it on herself?

Answer: Belle Delphine's account was reported by a bunch of people who really didn't like her content. I dont think she had actual nudity or porngraphy in her account I guess the sheer number of reports made instagram take it down.

Answer: from what I could gather, doing half sleepy, half assed research. It appears she had told her fans in insta she would start a pornhub account if she got 1M likes on a pic. She got over 2M and did indeed start her pornhub. But it ended up being a big troll. She posted videos with general names thinking shes gonna be railed, but it's her in full clothes with nothing sexual. It pissed people off for getting trolled. They wanted to see her nude. The butthurt fans then reported her repeatedly and got her pages taken down. [This](https://i.imgur.com/lB9Q7vj.jpg) picture shows some of the comments fans made as well as a screencap from a video.

Answer: the organization Collective Shout published an article 2 days ago calling for Instagram to remove Belle Delphine from their platform because “Belle Delphine engages in porn-themed behaviour for millions of fans. Almost entirely depicted as child-like, with stereotypical props of girlhood- soft toys, braces, pigtails & more.” It was picked up by a lot of anti-porn and child sexual abuse foundations, including Prostasia Foundation, with tons of people reporting her page for nudity.

Answer: I believe its a combination of many factors, including her highly sexualized portrayals of underaged girls, selling her nudes and others nudes to underaged ppl, sexually flirting with young ppl in comments. Also I think some neckbeards and incels hate her for the pornhub trolling. Instagram says they banned her if their own accord but theres [this guy](https://instagram.com/athlete_thedog?igshid=9ri4hj7kltxm) saying he took her account down.

Answer: Basically the system for allowing migrants entry into the US is pretty flawed and it can usually take years to process requests. Not sure why. So many immigrants enter the country iegally to fast track this.
I guess a lot of people have sympathy for them because there's no other way for them to enter the country. At the same time there seems to be a rather strong open borders movement and so people generally dislike the idea of a closed border right now. ICE is also quite brutal and so are their detention centres.

What's up with illegal immigration in the US?
|
I've been hearing a lot about illegal immigrants in the US in the news recently. However, I'm very confused because I see a lot of posts on reddit that encourage non-compliance
https://www.reddit.com/r/coolguides/comments/c3r5ad/what_to_do_if_ice_shows_up_at_your_door/
https://www.reddit.com/r/SeattleWA/comments/cetwxm/please_be_aware_that_ice_is_here_in_seattle_for/
and even violence against the people (ICE?) responsible for finding these migrants. What confused me was comments about not admitting guilt or hiding evidence. I don't know US laws, but isn't being an illegal immigrant, like, illegal? Surely someone that has committed a crime should not be encouraged to actively fight against the police (or whatever ICE is)?
I was wondering what the reasons were for this whole anti-authority thing going on right now (I've heard about the awful migrant centres, wondered if people had other reasons besides that). Thanks in advance.

Answer:
Most of the immigrants would be considered assylum seekers by many other developed countries. Many of these people wouldn't risk such and arduous journey and bring their children with them if the situation back home weren't so desperate. Being in a country were violence and poverty are so common and the corrupt government does nothing to stop it makes living there a nightmare. Many of these countries were also destabilised by US intervention, thus significantly contributing to these countries' problems and some scholars argue that these interventions are the main cause of the migrant crisis.
For many people, empathy overcomes attachment for laws and protocol that (as another user pointed out) make it really hard for these assylum seekers to enter the country legally. Especially when the US's way of dealing with the issue has been separating families and caging children, which has already caused some deaths. With such a situation, it becomes very easy to become anti-authority.

Answer:
There’s a sign circulating around saying “We plan to cut all homeless people in half by 2025”. Clearly they meant to say that they want half has many homeless people in 2025 than there are now, but the bad phrasing leads to a gruesome other meaning about physically cutting all homeless people by 2025, which led to memes about it
