The mods are shitlords that oppressed Slash, that's what.
Just me. Don't blame the entire staff for my actions.
What happened now?

I have no idea what just happened.

As much as I love Mass Effect, I've never really invested myself in the lore beyond what's in the games. I regrettably know a lot about Halo though

So you pay for the Internet based on much data you use? What's so bad about that?

so which drama thing did I miss this time
The mods gave Slash a warning but no one really bothered to ask why we just assumed the mods were being pricks again.

Daz is one of the best mods, it's funny though because I replied to him with a copypasta a couple days ago (something along the lines of "you're pathetic, you suck, etc) and he took me seriously. Lol. His response was kinda apathetic but I still got myself some good laughs.

To be honest I don't see that much of a problem with Icy I just want Cheat to stop taking away features and conveniences from the site because of muh feelings and muh monitor powers

What a fucking joke.
And BTW it's only one mod in particular.

Like the warning says - not just for the post content, but because the entire staff team is done with your antics since you resigned from the staff.
Plus, you know the rules. If you have a problem with the decisions, contact Cheat. Icy is referring to the thread where Slash said he wished he were demoted.

Source? Or did you purposefully leave it out like your Onion threads?
You can go to Google images and find exactly this. I mean it's not like it's a surprise to anyone that whites are more intelligent than blacks even when factors like the parents' intelligence is factored in.

This is, of course, referring to those who wish to live as an entity other than a human. For your reference, I have provided a typical transhumanist below: What are your thoughts and opinions on transhumanism and can you support only one or the other without contradicting your logic and ethics?

Or just don't fight Russia and the US at the same time.
Or simply don't fight WWII Russia at all
Russia was weak tho
Nigga it doesn't matter how good your troops are when you have as many as Russia did
I'm just saying they wouldn't have lasted very long if not for the other allied powers coming to help.

"human well-being" is the only thing you can meaningfully base morality on.
What exactly prevents a society from forming morality around Darwinist ethics (assuming Darwinism is in direct opposition to human well-being)?
Nothing; it's entirely possible for a society to be morally incorrect--just look at the Taliban, or ISIS. The point is that ethics is essentially a navigation problem, and questions of well-being necessarily relate to facts about humans. If a social darwinist movement usurped the ethics of a society and navigated itself away from adhering to factual guidelines regarding well-being, they're moving in the wrong direction.
I guess I agree with what you're saying, I just have a hard time using the term "moral facts." I understand your point that humans cannot operate on a purely logical, objective basis, but I tend to have a more scientific understanding of the word 'fact' in that facts need to be tested for consistency and accuracy, and I have a hard time seeing how that would fit with human well-being since it's not really measurable.

Are you saying that there is no objective reason NOT to form an ethical benchmark?
I'm saying any sort of methodology or philosophy which makes claims to objectivity has to have certain assuming values in the first place, in order to get anywhere.
So an appeal to objectivity is meaningless, or irrelevant, as far as ethics are concerned?

Although, there still isn't any objective reason to follow utilitarianism.
You're immediately holding this hypothetical science of morality to higher standards than you're holding any other science. What objective reason do you have to follow empiricism or logic, you can try and claim that it's a recursive epistemic axiom, but there's no recursive justification if you don't value those things in the first place.
Also, I should point out Harris isn't a hedonistic utilitarian in that pleasure > suffering. He is much more Aristotelian in that he proposed eudauimonia, or human flourishing, as the proper benchmark.
