Content should be articles, video essays, podcasts about topics relevant to the forum. No memes, single images or tweets/toots/... please!
Community rules:
Be respectful and civil with each other. Don't be a jerk. There is a real human being on the other side of your screen. See also the Blahaj.Zone Community Rules
No bigotry of any kind allowed. Making racist, sexist, trans-/homo-/queerphobic, otherwise demeaning and hateful comments is not ok. Disabilities and mental illnesses are not to be used as insults and should not be part of your comment unless speaking of your own or absolutely relevant.
No gatekeeping and being rude to people who don't agree with you. Leave “gamer” stereotypes out of your comment (e.g. sexless, neck bearded, teenaged, basement-dwelling, etc). Don't compare people to animals, or otherwise deny their humanity. Even if you think someone is the worst human on the planet, do not wish death or harm upon them.
No "justice porn". Posts regarding legal action and similar is allowed, but celebrating someone being harmed is not.
Contrarianism for its own sake is unnecessary and not welcome.
No planning operations, no brigading, no doxxing or similar activities allowed.
Absolutely no defense of GamerGate and other right-wing harassment campaigns, no TERFs and transphobia, racism, dismissing of war crimes and praise of fascists. This includes “JAQing off”, intentionally asking leading questions while pretending to be a neutral party. This also applies to other forms of authoritarianism and authoritarian or criminal actions by liberal or leftist governments.
NSFW threads, such as ones discussing erotic art, pornography and sex work, must be tagged as such.
Moderators can take action even if none of the rules above are broken.

I’d bet when you spend 2.2 billion dollars building something useless you’d be willing to shell out min wage for a few armed guards. Also there’s no way they’re not doing the facial recognition bullshit Madison Square Garden has been going for
Sounds like nothing a clipboard, tool pack and some work clothes won't fix. Minimum wage guards generally aren't paid well enough to be too thorough
"Hey, Mister Security Guard, I am from IT and just gonna upgrade that hardware over there. Do I have permission? Of course, I have permission! Here's some paper with an unreadable signature. Look, here it says that I have to remove all those very expensive graphics cards and dispose of them. So don't mind me!"
Yeah people severely overestimate how hard it is to talk yourself into most places
if only there was more crossover of extremely confident people and especially tech literate folks with nothing to lose.
Heh yeah those kinds of people often end up red teaming, which does kinda put a damper on doing "off the books" fuckery because you need to keep your reputation clean
