Ah so that's why Grindr crashed

Omg stop it, we all have our flaws but this guy is an animal abusing piece of shit and there's no reason to know he exists. Omg he criticizes israel, literally everyone here on lemmy does that that's not a virtue.

He abuses animals, he's an extremely unsexy piece of shit

If I was capable of runner's high I would! I just don't get physical exertion endorphins like some people get, it seems.I just grow in a different way instead...

No one claimed it went down globally. It is possible to have a regional issue with access. Could be the CDN or some DNS service got a bit overloaded and the GOP guys didn't get the dick they were seeking, but it's resolved now, so not to worry. They can always check later in the evening from their hotel room.

To be clear, I think you're in denial about the GOP conventions regularly causing issues with Grindr and the level of closetted man-on-man action in the famously hypocritical and deflecting Republican party. I have no idea about your sexuality, don't care what it is, and can't deduce that from what you're saying, but I'm concerned about your political affiliation.

Oh, it's definitely because I support his message that rape and murder are OK. As a Satanic Islamocommunist who wants to force everyone share the same toothbrush, follow Shakira Law, and to force all children to trans their genders, when I heard that Hasan kicks puppies and wants to drown orphans, I was like, "Hell yeah! Now this is a guy I can get behind!"

I think I figured this out years ago.

So male Boomers became used to being catered to by a never ending parade of blonde Fox News hosts. Who would tell these spoiled bastards how they, the white men of the most economically priviledged generation in history, how they were the victims constantly. And how they should be outraged by that.

So the dopamine reactors of them are now wired to that. Then comes AOC. She's young, very pretty, and on the news - but she's NOT telling them that they're being discriminated against! In fact, her message is that they probably have MORE than their share.

So their brains, wired to have the horny with the outrage, basically go batshit.

I would expect something to have recorded downtime at least, but none is reported. Just saying that down detector isn't as reliable as the official logger

Like I suggested, if it's the local CDN or some DNS, grindr central would be working fine and Republicans at home could get as much dick as they liked, just those at the convention would be affected, and then only temporarily.

Why is it so implausible that Republicans indulge their secret sexual fantasies when they're away from home?

Why aren't you under every article claiming outage complaining about how unreliable some unreliable-website-tracking website is? Why is it only when Republicans get shown up for their hypocrisy that you're suddenly turning the skeptical to maximum?

You’re completely missing what I’m ranting about. Don’t use downdetector, it’s worse than useless.

They ran out of laptops.

You're repeatedly and routinely completely missing the opportunity to make this point under news stories about outages that don't call out the hypocrisy of the Republican party.

Don't parrot Republican talking points. They're worse than regular lies.

Calling homophobic jokes about how every conservative shitbag is actually gay a Republican talking point is certainly…a choice.

You can call Republicans homophonic shitbags without also using “haha ur gay” as an insult. I just did it, it was really easy. But apparently still too difficult for some people it seems…

I didn't make it up, and I didn't say it was all of them, that's a straw man, I just don't argue with anyone who claims that the GOP convention regularly crashes grindr like you do.

I'm not making a joke, I'm pointing out hypocrisy, and I'm also calling you out, specifically, for pouring skepticism on people who claim grindr was swamped by the gop whilst not launching into this tirade against the unreliability of reliability-tracking-websites under other stories about outages.

I may be wrong and your post history might be full of this particular rant, but I doubt you can point to a similar comment you've made under a story that doesn't reflect badly on the Republicans, because I suspect that this unreliability claim exists purely because you get cognitive dissonance from the gop crashing grindr.

You're doing the denial of publicly available information, you're doing the ad hominem attacking and you're making me start to believe that you're deflecting about the homophobia.

convention has once again coincided with the Grindr app crashing in Dallas from heavy usage

Yeah, that is a very funny coincidence.

I can't believe there are so many kanine zap deniers out there.

I have seen that clip. I have seen evidence provided by accusation. Even collar company claimed that this was a shock collar. There is no denial that he did it. And yet people think cancel culture tries to cancel Hasan for no reason. Dude zaps his dog and we're jaut gonna blame cancel culture for telling the world this is jot the person to preach to us. Okay then 🤷

You're arguing against positions I don't have, you good?

Exposed for being a stud, oh god the horror

You still haven’t owned up and apologized for using “you are gay” as an insult.

I may be wrong and your post history might be full of this particular rant, but I doubt you can point to a similar comment you've made under a story that doesn't reflect badly on the Republicans, because I suspect that this unreliability claim exists purely because you get cognitive dissonance from the gop crashing grindr.

First of all, are you really asking me to link to specific Lemmy comments when I said I have had a consistent pattern for 20 years? I suggest you look into how old the fediverse is.

Second of all, I encourage you to stalk my comment history for like, literally two minutes and you will see how stupidly off the deep end you have gone calling me a MAGA idiot instead of accepting that you are wildly wrong and fell for a shitty troll.

You're doing the denial of publicly available information

Ok, let’s talk about publically available information then. Can you show me on the doll where these outages are happening? Here is the externally validated status page for grindr: https://status.grindr.com/

Next, let’s look at how DownDetector works on the literal first sentence of Wikipedia after the intro:

The information that is provided by the site is based upon user outage reports, which are collected from various sources, including the page for each website on Downdetector itself and Twitter.[4][1]

Please, tell me more about how I’m the one making stuff up. Or alternatively just promise me that next time you will do 5 seconds of research when someone tells you a new fact.

when the barest minimum is the highest bar, even the worst piece of shit looks like a brownie.

Mm.

Probably should have led with that.

You still haven’t owned up and apologized for using “you are gay” as an insult.

Because I literally never said that, ever, to anyone, not today and not ever, not even when I was an obnoxious teenager, right when homophobic slurs were all the rage and I didn't do it then, despite being called gay for not bullying kids for supposedly being gay. So no, that's not what I said and it's certainly not what I meant, ever.

It was just another straw man, increasingly clearly deliberate misinterpretation in your growing pile and another ad hominem non-rebuttal from you of any of the real points I raised.

Regarding "externally validated" status logs, I just don't know if I can explain a third way how an outrage which was reported as local to the Republican convention would be more likely caused by the local CDN servers or some DNS issue, not grindr's central servers. I don't understand why you're still looking for it there. The headline would have been "grindr goes down globally during RNC" not "grindr outage at RNC host city. Again. After all the other times."

Maybe check in a dictionary for some extra clarity on the distinction between "city-wide" and "globally"!

I notice how you didn't link me to Wikipedia or anyone (outside the gop) talking about downdetector being unreliable, and wikipedia only seems to be linking articles saying how quick it is at spotting outages and how sysadmins of large websites rely on them for information. Seems like the people who understand how the internet works disagree with you.

As I suspected, you're unable to point me to even a single instance of you ever claiming in the past that this or that status monitoring website is unreliable and not to be trusted outside of it being a story that's damaging to the famously homophobic Republican party.

I don't know what the source of your cognitive dissonance is about the gop conventions regularly causing localised problems with grindr, and I don't know how obsessive you believe outrageous dangerous commie leftist socialists are to go RNC-chasing just to create a spike in evidence of outages, but what I do know is that when something keeps happening again and again, to the point of it being old news, the plausibility to me of it just being a random coincidence or some vast elaborate hoax drops.

Just going off what you said. I find it weird that folks take any number of reports of network outages of websites or apps on the chin except when it's the gop crashing grindr yet again at their convention (when they're all away from home with people with a similar vested interest in not being seen on grindr by their neighbours).

Suddenly then it most all be a hoax or bad data and needs arguing with and couldn't possibly be true. Weird closed mind shit.

Are you not taking the user reports on down detector at face value? All I pointed out is that those unverified reports conflict with official data about uptime. I even explicitly said there was a spike, as usual. It's just not literally breaking the app. Then you conjectured those baseless claims I don't hold simply because I said there's no real evidence the spike was so big it breaks the app

I'm legitimately not sure whether, as Hasan Piker, I'd feel more like I'd made it (to some extent you can judge a person by the quality of their enemies) or if I'd worry more about stochastic terrorism.

I don't agree with piker on a number of things but it's an absurd claim that he shocked his dog lol

I remember when Trump first came onto the scene and one of the things he was really good at was monopolizing all the attention. I really wonder if all this attention on figures like Hassan is just playing into their hands. After all, they do say that there is no such thing as bad publicity

He still barely gave a fuck, which is condemnable regardless.

AHAHAHAHA! That's hilarious! Could it possibly be more obvious that you're acting in bad faith?

I’ll repeat: you are defending an abuser; you are a shit human being.

"An abuser!" You guys are absolutely hilarious.

JFC. Last week, my therapist asked me if I knew who Hasan Piker was... it was surrreal... like the internet broke containment and entered real life.

I'm in therapy for stress and anger management... sometimes politics comes up. My therapist is a middle aged wine mom from the suburbs who literally has one of those "Coexist" bump stickers on her Toyota Prius. I told her I disagreed with him on some stuff, but that I'm probably not his audience. She told me she was watching more of his clips on YouTube. I didn't know what to say to that.

Kya (I believe that's her name) yelped because she clipped her paw on something, there was no shock.

As for the Fish video, yeah he shouldn't have pulled the dog's tail, but he clearly didn't hurt him since the dog didn't yelp or anything.

same thing they tried to "expose" Hunters big penis for being a for sleeping with quesitonable women.

they made fetishiszed fantasy images of her before too.

botox barbies, now mar-a-lago face.

that is why his fans are most fangirls.

his face not so much,

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPGoLzyY-IQ

zohran, EL-sayad, even obama in his tan suit. when a GOP wears a suit, they always look like scummy used car salesmen or ambulance chaser.

covering for trumps-epstein files, which is pretty much what it is plus. the amount of "more progressives" is getting the GOP nervous too, because it breaks their illusion GOP-DINO hold on congress.

well you see some of the dems were actually DINOS, really republicans that was electable as dems but not as republicans,now you have to issue of how many of them support the MIC-israel pipeline, which funnels money back to the same Dinos. AIPAC/ICE/flock has pretty much exposed which ones are not trulely progressive. schumer, slotkin, fetterman, HAKEEM dozens of both houses have no interest in moving to the left, they are in fact trying to stall for Trump to do enough damage , so they can say they "tried thier best"

The internet broke containment a decade ago my friend. The internet is real life now.

hasans fanbase are mostly fangirls, so im not surprise, and hes closer the therapist age than his audience.

just like with luigi, zohran, el-sayad and others. thats why the MSMs had to quickly shut that down to avoid giving them too much exposure.

you conjectured those baseless claims I don’t hold

Projection.

The "global outage" is your straw man. No one ever claimed that. The evidence is all about local outages to the host city of the RNC, and its happening regularly. A local outage likely wouldn't even register at grindr's end and is much more likely to be an issue at the local CDN (throttling an overload or not coping with the volume of requests) or some DNS issue.

But like I said, people like you take news about outages perfectly happily except when it's the gop convention overloading grindr as has become usual.

Suddenly then there's extreme skepticism because you can't accept that political views, which are socially transferred could conflict with sexuality which isn't.

Why would conservative households and neighborhoods somehow prevent bisexuality and homosexuality in their members? That's science denying shit. If you think being in the group being criticised somehow bars rightwingers from making hypocrisy-laden public condemnation, you really haven't been paying attention.

So that subpopulation exists, but of course is caused to feel great shame, hides it, and often has the best opportunity to go on grindr, without their neighbours recognising them, when they're away from home at the gop convention, where the vast majority of men on grindr are conservatives who share their social need for absolute secrecy. Of course there's a spike.

But no, suddenly, and with this specific outage, but no other report of outage, you're complaining that the outage monitoring websites are not to be trusted, their methodology is flawed, it's contradicting the global servers' claimed uptime or some other excuse. It's just reality denial, and it comes from the gop itself, who are the masters (in the western world) of reality denial and flooding the channel with shit and spray gun excuses.

you 'mirin bro?

Just because a dog does not yelp that doesn't make ok nor should we down play it. Excuse while I grab and pull my gf by the arm, slap her even maybe, as long as she doesn't scream or cry it's ok...

Also, the claw thing is absolute bs. There are multiple moments which play out the exact same as that one, but where she doesn't yelp. She goes to move away/is standing off the bed; Hasan reaches behind the camera; she suddenly goes back to her spot. In some she moves as soon as she sees him moving his arm. What do you think is happening? Not to mention, after denying the use of an electric collar but refusing to show it, he later (on a different day) went on stream to show the collar and said it was "vibration only", but you can clearly see there's black tape on it over where the prongs would be.

So we know she's wearing an electrical collar, we know he is lying about it, we know there are more similar moments on stream, and we have the past history of Hasan pulling a dogs tail.... So why would you believe him about the claw? The only reason to believe it's the claw is because he said so. But we already know he is a liar, and showed complete disregard for her and didn't even check on her.

Because unfortunately people are similar everywhere. People here think they are smarter than right wingers because they believe different things, but they only believe different things because that's what they were taught/told to believe. A lot of them are also chronically online and desperately want somewhere to belong to; that's how cults form as well.

Put all that together and you have people defending an animal abuser just because he's politically aligned and the figure head of a community they belong to - cult.
