Is it really a witch hunt if the witch says he's a witch and then proceeds to cast hexes on everyone though?

Love this show. (The Wire, for those curious).
Of all the evidence thrown at you, matching his shirt is what swayed you.
Maybe be careful with labeling things "witch hunts" in the future.

Joe Biden on Palmer Luckey's statement:
plagiarize

Which still directly contradicts his post which clearly was trying to indicate he'd long been in the tank for Gary.
This is perfect.Joe Biden on Palmer Luckey's statement:
I'm pretty sure people were saying this shit in the Civil War era too.

That's what gets me too. He admitted to the worst part but is in denial about his presidential candidate preference as if that was his biggest sin.
Edit: denial is too kind. He's straight up lying, so his apology actually makes him look worse.
Makes his claim to vote for Gary Johnson a bit doubtful

I thought for sure Zuckerberg wouldnt put up with this type of garbage, guess i was wrong.
Lol, I'm not that person but I'm checking this thread occasionally and can't keep up. Don't really want to read the whole thing. It would be one thing if the OP had updates, but it doesn't.
I'm trying to figure out where it was confirmed Palmer was lying about being NimbleRichMan. I'm not trying to take his side in any way, but I do wanna see the receipts.

That's a Gary Johnson supporter if I ever saw one.

Well, I'm trying to meet more than halfway here, but I think what he's trying to establish with this line of argumentation is that despite his donation, this isn't really a group he necessarily understands perfectly or agrees with. He thought they had some interesting ideas, but at the end of the day he's not even backing the same candidate. Just trying to create distance.

I wonder how Gary Johnson must feel about being a shield for embarrassed Trump supporters.
They are probably hoping that the situation normalizes by itself and stay in denial until the backlash in the media gets really bad for them.
Yep. The ol' "it will go away if we downplay it" approach.

Oculus is okay with their public image being linked to white supremacists and shitposting. Use that information when you make a consumer decision regard VR.
This doesn't explain the NimbleRichMan post.
But this does: http://www.thedailybeast.com/cheats...ro-trump-group.html?via=mobile&source=copyurl
(I just wanted receipts, GAF).

Reminds me of this guy but even worse for Luckey cause he goes way further:

This is the Oculus story now. It doesn't matter what innovations/products they come out with now because catching Luckey boy in a shitty made tapestry of shitty lies and looking into his motives is more interesting than the product or company.
The product isn't mainstream at all so they can't fall back on loyalty like Apple or something. People are waiting to see what VR tech takes off and the competition is right there. They need to force him out.

I still can't believe "I take Luckey on his word" was their actual official response.

Worst, if you do support someone's beliefs, stand true to yourself, you cucks! I would be proud of y'all staying true to yourself in this bigotry. It'll be easier to avoid than to pretend.

Oculus is just gonna let him lie to the public and then move on like nothing happened? Disappointing isn't even close to the word necessary here.

I don't people are upset about him supporting Trump.
It's more about him funding that dumpster fire group. He actively and volitionally funded it, knowing their aims.
Supporting trump is worse imo. And supporting that group is already very bad.

Yes, but supporting Trump is really not what the backlash is about. Like at all.
I'm sure many video game industry figures are doing that and it's non controversial.
because the image that a "libertarian" conjures up fits nicely with their "tech guru" status
As expected.
The lies from Palmer with Oculus and now this is just infuriating; to have the sheer contempt and gall to continue lying in succession through all these is incredible, akin to many politicians in the manner of "addressing" each lie found. Oculus itself also with a similar motif just guarantees I will never get involved with any of their products.
Oculus was never in the picture for my VR decisions if I'm fully honest. It has always been Vive & PSVR from the get-go. But now hopefully more consumers will use this information for their VR decisions.
Do not support this company.
Send that message with your wallets as well as your voices via social media/message boards.

And facebook largely supports Hillary and has given her tens of millions. This is like cutting off an arm because of a papercut.
That would be dumb and it's sad this will come up in every Rift thread from now on. But... it's kinda understandable isn't it. This isn't your typical election after all. Trump isn't a typical politician and what is happening right now in many countries is very frightening.
