The waifu virus has claimed him. He must be quarantined before it spreads though the rap community.

Consequences would be dire if this pandemic grows.

  • Haha, so the thread was about Evilore being at the Chappelle special front-row.
  • Some poster comes in and says "name 5 places Evilore HASN'T been invited to."
  • Random poster named Lord "something" pops in to say: "a woman's vagina"
  • Evilore comes in and subtly changes dude's username to "Lord Virgin" in response.
  • Laughter ensues.
  • "Lord Virgin" then changes his avi to Evilore's face, in response to name change.
  • Evilore chokeslams homie's account into non-existence and locks thread shortly thereafter.

LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
Howard University campus to open at Google’s headquarters:

Silicon Valley’s leading tech companies have long been stumped over how to diversify. Despite efforts to recruit and retain black and Latino engineers, the numbers haven’t budged much, if at all.

Google is trying a new tack. The company announced Thursday it is creating a college campus at its Mountain View headquarters that’s geared toward students at historically black colleges and universities.

The campus, called Howard West, will launch this summer in partnership with Howard University of Washington, D.C. About 25 to 30 rising Howard juniors and seniors majoring in computer science will qualify for the program’s first 12-week program, which will be taught by senior Google engineers and Howard faculty.

“Howard West will continue Howard’s tradition of providing historically unprecedented access to opportunity, only now with a 21st century twist: Literal real estate at the center of the digital economy,” Bonita Stewart, Google’s vice president of global partnerships, said in a statement.

Experts believe the partnership is the first of its kind within the tech industry.

“At face value, it seems like Google is invested in this,” said Jane Stout, an official with the Computing Research Association, a Washington group that studies diversity issues in tech.

Google is “putting their money where their mouth is. They are trying something that is pretty revolutionary,” Stout said.

The program will take place at existing Google buildings. Students will not need to pay extra tuition to attend Howard West and will be given a stipend and support for housing, provided by Howard, which is well aware of the sky-high rental prices in Silicon Valley.

The intention is for Howard West to be open to students at other historically black universities and colleges starting in the summer of 2018.

Howard declined to disclose its investment in the program. Google said that it is not paying Howard and that Howard is not paying Google for the new campus. Google said its only costs are physical space and the time of its employees who will serve as teachers, though it declined to disclose how much those expenses amounted to.

Last May, 18 Howard students graduated in computer science, and the university expects 25 to 30 to graduate in the field this May, according to Howard spokeswoman Crystal Brown.
