The task: Daily, on or approximately around 8PM EST, identify noteworthy postings on Voat you may have passed by and not seen. Some days may have more, some less. /disclaimer
Bias: Openly my own. Rational. Based on life experiences. Happy to be educated on any and all things.
The objective: To create dialogue. Noteworthy content sometimes doesn’t make the first 4 pages of Voat. This gives that content a second chance, and can kickstart conversation.
-
Assange gets shafted hard. Apparently the U.S. “justice” system is so broken it’s now completely OK to prevent someone the ability to have a legal defense.
-
A reminder of the shady connections between the sinking of the Titanic and the creation of the Federal Reserve. Specifically, people who died, who owned the Titanic, and who cancelled their trip. (This exceeded my normal threshold for popularity because it’s an extremely important message worth repeating)
-
Adding more fuel to the fire of the Huawei controversy, it’s time to remind everyone that their phones are a quarter of the price of iCrap’s flagship and have a crisp digital 50x optical zoom on the camera that lets you clearly see writing written on gameboard pieces from over a mile away. Try that with your $1,000 American flagship and get back to us. (Video showing the zoom is a must-see)
-
You can now be arrested for sharing a video of kids fighting under the make believe charge of “unlawful posting of criminal activity”. What happens when they discover WorldStarHipHop? (Controversy for her even being arrested, the charges were later dropped but expect more like this from a Police State)
-
A half ton of Meth was seized at a Texas border bridge. Nothing to see here, just the CIA getting sloppy with a new boss around.
-
Just a friendly reminder that there is a video of the 9-11 North Tower Collapse you’ve probably never seen before. It’s only 27 seconds of your day, either way.
-
This week’s Windows 10 zero-day exploit has been published. Saddle up if personal IT security is your kind of thing.
-
In addition to my “wtf is wrong with the weather” drinking-game, I’m also going to try to call out everytime someone constructively asks “when will we finally stand up to the Jews?”.
-
Sometimes things come in two’s, a constructive conversation on how one can legally suggest it’s necessary to kill the Jews.. in Minecraft.
-
A Mississippi State Representative, Douglas McLeod, allegedly punched his wife for taking her sweet assed time to get undressed for sex. Personally, I’ve always found it more effective to just exclaim, “why is my dish washer yelling at me?”.
-
In this timeline, Nigel Farage was trapped on a bus because people armed with milkshakes were forming up a firing line a few Antifa deep. Some people burn bras, others throw milkshakes.. I guess.
-
Fluoride is probably bad for your teeth, but here is some MSM propaganda telling you why it’s not .. for money.
-
Just a friendly reminder that there are alternatives to Voat if something were to ever happen – notabug.io, phuks.co, and poal.co.
-
Remember Virginia Governor Ralph Northam’s (D) whole black-face yearbook debacle? Well, the official investigation couldn’t determine if it was him or not.. so it probably was.
-
@Conspirologist polls Voat, in what might be a little too close to home, asking for the reasons people got divorced. Not sure if cringe, ESL, or both (bot or not-bot) – but he might need a hug and the current downvoats are like anti-aww.
-
A novel question about what one can do to defend against cell phone spying by Government goes mostly answered by the side of Voat that has close to or at zero teeth. I strongly think this is a valid question and some constructive advice should be offered, here.
-
A reminder that a very possible Human future might be Amazon-created Space expansion. It’d literally be like Buy-N-Large from Wall-E, except the megacorporation would be Amazon, with a Jeff Bezos cyborg CEO running the company’s expansion into Space for the next phase of human history.
-
A neat link to a bunch of “non-PC books” in PDF format. Clicker beware, but there are some great titles there if it’s not spam (I didn’t check, disclaimer, click at your own risk!).
-
Just another day in modern America life, where a Detroit Cop shoots a family’s dog in front of a 9-year old.
-
@theoldones asks a question about blogs and censorship. Gets basically the best advice you can get from @BushChuck. Bonus: "smells and feels like dirty grease and trailer park hoarding" absolutely slayed me.
-
Amazon’s money grubbing cunts shareholders voted to share facial recognition and voice data with Police, including Federal Agencies and the IRS. Consider a very realistic possible future involving AI-generated databases of tax-cheats based on their assets being captured by cameras and microphones based on behavior or visually evident lifestyle.
Pilot had many recommending a subvoat for this. I think I’d like to make it a staple of a default sub, because I view that as more challenging and worth self-motivating. To make that easier, I’ll try to stick as close to 8PM EST as possible to make it easy to get into a routine of checking. I’m open to another default sub if someone has a better idea, or if a better time would be easiest for all three time zones.

Great list! Not sure what the idea behind #3 is, I'm certainly anti-apple, but I'm also anti anything Chinese. Given it's hard to find anything that doesn't have at least a few Chinese bits in it, and almost all are made in Asia, it is possible to do your best to minimize your business with at least China, who's products have harmed our production economy more than anyone else's.
HTC- Taiwan
Google Pixel- Taiwan, South Korea
LG- South Korea, India
Samsung (Galaxy S and Note)- India, S Korea, Vietnam
Kyocera- Japan
Motorola- India
My Nokia was built in Finland, but as far as I know, all American sold Nokias are now made in China by Foxconn :(
It's still a sad state of affairs that none are built here, but hopefully Trump can make a deal that helps to change that. I certainly don't agree with everything he does, but business is his strong point.

The noteworthy thing I was illustrating was how their phone technology appears so much more advanced than ours.
It's always a bad sign when the people who you buy high priced products from have lost their need to be competitive and give you less development but charge you more money. It's especially worrisome and arguably nefarious when there are better options available on the open market, but your own Governments are intent on keeping them from you, potentially for political gain.
Humans should not be political pawns.

I get that. But I think that points more to Apple being a decietful company than Huawei being anything special. They used to say everything we buy in a computer was 2 years out of date by the time it hit the shelf. I'd imagine that gap has widened now. Point being, Someone honest could easily offer a better product, built here, and still make a profit, albeit smaller, bit money so often brings with it greed that they can't look past cheap Asian labor.
