CNN recently attacked it's ad-revenue competitor YouTube (a content aggregator that hosts 1 billion hours of viewership per day) through highlighting the way that ads can be featured through it's algorithm on extremist content. Of the extremist content, they list pro-nazi/north korean propaganda, pro-pedophilia content, & 'conspiracy theorists', all at the same time.

I don't know about you, but in a post Gulf Of Tonkin America, I don't necessarily demonize anyone with a conspiracy theory on the basis of those who propagate 'lizard people' & 'gay frogs'. More importantly, they attacked anti-war progressive youtuber Jimmy Dore, a comedian who hosts a comedy show that mocks & ridicules the mainstream media.

Dore was listed among the likes of Alex Jones for merely stating the same level of skepticism that Rand Paul had done only shortly beforehand on CNN itself of claims that Assad's regime in Syria was directly involved in chemical attacks on civilians.

A Malaysian newspaper has published a gay-spotter’s checklist. It includes things like being a gym member or having a beard as signs of male homosexuality.
The helpful list of hints on how to spot members of the LGBT community has been published in the Malaysian daily newspaper Sinar Harian, alongside a piece featuring Islamic cleric Hanafiah Malik deploring the rise of homosexuality, which many Muslims consider sinful, in the south-east Asian country.

“[They] like going to the gym but not for exercising, but to ogle others,” reads one of the bullet points, adding that gay men have a penchant for beards and branded clothes and that their eyes light up when they see a handsome slice of beefcake.

Hugging, holding hands, being alone and talking disparagingly about men, meanwhile, are a sure-fire way of telling someone is a lesbian, according to the guide.

The preacher also said that “khunsa,” or hermaphrodites, should allowed to undergo surgery to have one of their sets of genitals removed.

The Sinar Harian article was not welcomed by everyone, however. Arwind Kumar, one of Malaysia’s biggest social media stars, ripped into the article on YouTube.

“I know a lot of priests, I know a lot ustads [Islamic scholars], I know a lot of really, really religious people who love keeping beards. Are you trying to say they are gay? That’s how stupid this whole article sounds,” he said.

“If you really want to educate society then explain to them the traits of a pedophile, a molester, a murderer, a kidnapper, people who actually endanger the lives of others. How the hell does a gay person endanger your life?”

Obviously those aren't the real Trisha and Nicole, but they have similar facial features and hair textures to those women.

Trisha and I have had our ups and downs, but she's promised me that she'll never burn the bridge with me. Trisha was there for me when my aunt died, she's given me career advice, and she makes me feel good about my accomplishments. I really like her. It's gotten really hard for me to be just friends with Trisha, because I want more. She is a good friend, but I notice that she's not real touchy with me. Maybe it's because she's a real shy and reserved person. Over the 5 years I've known her, she's only hugged me once and shook my hand twice. I find that weird because when she Snapchats or texts me, she's always very flirtatious and asking for my opinion on her looks. Maybe she is just a big flirt and leading me on. But I could be wrong about this. Should I pursue Trisha?

Nicole is my other good female friend. She's down to earth, but can be aloof and elusive at times. She's practical in the sense that she doesn't try to hide things. If she has to use the bathroom, she'll be open about it. If she doesn't like something you did, she'll get in your face and assert her opinion. If there's something bad mentioned in the news, she'll be the first one to pull up an article from an unbiased resource and share the facts. But, she also has this tendency to be aloof too. She used to date my friend I met at the gym. When he got a new car, she said it's just a car and didn't give him the compliment that he was seeking. When it was my birthday, she nearly forgot and said that it's just another year. Sometimes, I catch her listening to music and I call out to her or wave at her and she won't even look my way. Nicole is very touchy. She gives me a tight hug every time she sees me. She's kissed my neck before. And we've even shared a blanket at her apartment while we were watching TV. Should I pursue Nicole?
