Septagon / Re: did i seriously just get a warning?« on: June 19, 2015, 02:37:56 PM »If we ever grow large to have mods which don't know us all as well and have strict moderation, I could get banned for calling Lemon a huge faggot even though he clearly is one.We're not large enough for that, though. Not even close. By that point, we could easily loosen the rules up a bit more to accommodate the increased traffic. But as long as we remain a tightly-knit community, if we have any desire of growing, I think we should learn to settle down a little bit. 36278

Depends how strict.
In most forums, flaming is indiscriminately against the rules. This forum allows "schoolyard insults", but from my experience, that sort of thing just kind of boils over into a bigger fight, so I don't see much conversational use of calling someone a "retard" because you thought they deserved it at the time, if it's just going to result in creating bad blood. Calling someone a "retard" as a joke would obviously still be okay, though. Strict moderation does not mean that we all have to blow each other. 36279
Septagon / Re: did i seriously just get a warning?« on: June 19, 2015, 02:27:13 PM »This is what I'm saying. It's like you think you're above the rules and moderator guidelines. If you see something you dislike personally, you'll hand out a ban because hey, who's going to stop you?I honestly don't see the problem. From my perspective, it's not that Cheat needs to be more lax--it's that all the other moderators ought to be more strict. I did vote for strict moderation when we had that poll. 36280

The Flood / Verb's Words of the Day (#6) - Now taking submissions« on: June 19, 2015, 02:12:22 PM »
So, Pendulate actually had an interesting idea last time around: Word submissions. If you think you have a good word that you'd like to be featured in one of these threads, you could send it my way in a PM, and I'll make it happen (if the word is good enough). I'll mention your username in the definition somewhere, and have a "thank you" tab where all the names'll be kept. I think it's a pretty good idea.
The basic criteria for word submissions are: - It has to be relatively uncommon - It should be at least somewhat practical or useful in casual conversation - While not completely necessary, you're more likely to get featured if it happens to be a word I don't already know. You can submit as many words as indiscriminately as you like. Pendulate actually managed to find a pretty elusive one for me the other day, so today's WotD was partially brought to you by him. Archive The following word was submitted by Pendulate: Anhedonia - /an - heh - DOE - nee- uh/ the Greek an-, meaning "without", and hedone, meaning "pleasure". Many of you might be able to guess the meaning of this word by picking apart its roots. "Hedonia" in particular is very telling, as most of us are familiar with the philosophy of hedonism--or the belief that pleasure and happiness are the most important things in life. There's also the so-called "hedonic treadmill" concept, or the belief that, no matter how far our technological pursuits may go, we will never be truly satisfied; we will always find something to be unhappy about. Anhedonia is a term used in psychiatry to describe a state of mind where it is impossible, or exceedingly difficult, to experience pleasure: After five years of crippling depression, he no longer derives any pleasure from his once most beloved activities, as a result of anhedonia. This state of mind is tightly linked to depressive disorders, and as such, should probably only be used in such contexts where one's anhedonia would be symptomatic of some type of depression. Penury - /PEN - yuhr - ee/ [penurious] From the Latin penuria, meaning "need" To live in penury is to live in extreme poverty. You might have heard of words like "destitute"; or, "he was living in utter destitution". They're the poorest of the poor. People living in a state of penury, however, are even poorer than that--they're the poorest of the poorest of the poor. Whereas someone in destitution may have at least showered within the last year, people living in penury may have never bathed in their lives. It's absolute poverty. Yeah, I'll see if I can work in a more positive word to end today's list off. Copacetic - /KOH - puh - SEH - tik/ Etymology unknown. "How are you feeling today?" "Oh, I'm just copacetic, thanks." "...Oh. I'm sorry to hear that." "What?" That was an actual exchange I had with a friend the other day. I used the word copacetic to describe how I felt that day--that is to say, just fine. Perfect. Everything was going smooth. It's actually a pretty common expression, but perhaps more people ought to know about it, because it apparently sounds like some kind of crippling medical condition when used in the right tone of voice. But nope, all it means is that everything is peachy. I'd like to think most people know what it means, though--especially in America. I hope you're all having a copacetic day, in spite of your penurious, anhedonic lives. 36284

The Flood / Re: A Vegan diet is unhealthy, Verbatim« on: June 19, 2015, 05:11:22 AM »I hate that appeal to nature is considered a logical fallacyThe appeal to nature is not the same thing as a naturalistic fallacy. Appeal to nature = It's natural, therefore good. Naturalistic fallacy = It's enjoyable and/or desirable, therefore good. Just saying. Common mistake. They are only similar in that they are both some of the most egregious logical fallacies there is. The appeal to nature, in particular, is probably the most important logical fallacy there is, especially in a post-secular community, because it shuts down this whole Gaia delusion that new atheists like to clutch onto like desperate children. I mean, feel free to commit it all you want, but it just makes you look like a religious nut. Quote You all seem to think in telling you not to be vegan, when really all I'm saying is that I simply can not be vegan.Well, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and say that you can't become a vegan. That's absolutely fine, in my opinion. I would simply ask, then, that you at least be an advocate. But since you don't consider it to be superior in any way to meat-eating, we've hit a snag. Of course in unwilling to say that someone else is superior to me, in any way.That's textbook insecurity, but whatever. 36291
The Flood / Re: A Vegan diet is unhealthy, Verbatim« on: June 19, 2015, 05:04:38 AM »So if I come onto the internet and say it's neither natural nor ethically superior, and somebody responds telling me it is, wouldn't I want to be superior?Most meat-eaters I know are fine with admitting that vegans are ethically superior. Which leads me to think that those who are unwilling to concede are simply insecure. It's really not terribly difficult to see how not torturing is more ethical than torturing. 36292
