gotta crunch out this one last assignment (building a personal website) for this dumbass class before anything else

Building a personal website? Nice. What are you building it with?

my own (very basic) HTML/CSS skills

it's not actually going up, but i thought it might be fun to surprise my professor when everyone else is using wordpress

gotta crunch out this one last assignment (building a personal website) for this dumbass class before anything else

i just noticed that 3.0+1.0 has a subtitle now: Thrice Upon a Time



cool poster, too, although i like the one with the girders more

how are you doing, bucko

no, pretty based though

you have posted 2676 threads, and this is easily among the top 10 most embarrassing ones

I thought that throwing your piss and shit at people was a very revolutionary move in the gaming industry.

i thought that was a little gratuitous, but i imagine you were able to relate to it more

I'm talking about the idea of a person feeling the need to make everywhere they interact with other people into a safe space. How much more clarity do you need?

sure okay, i'll allow you to act like that's anywhere close to what you said before (it wasn't, though)

Honestly the idea of someone feeling the need to have their sensibilities pandered to so strictly makes me cringe.

there is nothing in this sentence that indicates that you're talking specifically about people who invade other communities in order to transform them into safe spaces

not that these people exist anyway

the people who joined this discord server did not make it into a safe space; they were under the impression that it was a safe space, so you don't even understand what's going on in the first place

You even called them weak people so it's obvious you aren't afraid to criticize these people.

your criticisms are coming from a much different place, and it's a place that i despise

That doesn't make sense. Why would I ever expect anyone to pander to my sensibilities? There's nothing wrong with needing therapy. I need therapy.

The idea that everyone around you would need to modify their behavior and not express anything that might offend you is what makes me cringe. The people Class is talking about may not even entirely believe that. It's just the impression given. Certainly there are some people who do believe it.

it's not about expecting anyone to pander to you—i'm just saying, maybe we need to find you a place where you don't have to put up with all these people who need safe spaces, because they clearly give you a lot of distress with their cringeworthy tendencies

maybe we can call it a Protected Place, or something, and it'll be just for you

if you were consistent, you would also cringe at the idea of therapy, because it's literally the same fucking idea, just on a one-on-one professional basis

i swear to god, you just get dumber and dumber

Kojima convinced me with marketing to pay €60 to be an amazon delivery man

Not faulting whoever likes it but it ain’t for me

yeah, you do kind of have to be in a specific frame of mind to enjoy it—it's very difficult to describe the appeal when it's much easier to put the game down on the basis of what you do in it—but for me at least, it's always been more about the experience

like, i pay nintendo $60 on a regular basis so i can be a fat italian plumber, but of course, there's more to it than that

but if the core gameplay experience isn't doing anything for you, that's fair—i found it interesting and uniquely relaxing

I don't  know if I'll ever understand how disagreeable opinions are supposed to be "unsafe."

because you're taking the term "safe space" too literally, although it's not a difficult concept

it's about finding comfort and peace-of-mind in a place where you don't have to put up with people's bullshit

the specific sort of "disagreeable opinions" that you're vaguely alluding to aren't intrinsically "unsafe," but they do get annoying, and some people don't have the energy to put up with them, so they'd rather be in a place where they don't constantly feel like they're on the defensive

since not everybody has the luxury of having a place like this, they have to be created manually

I had the expectation that this thread would make me look fantastic, yes. And it did.

eh

If it was delivered in a clinical way, and the person had actual evidence to back it up, then it would be allowed. I've said that even people arguing for phrenology can go into volcano. It's marked as a NSFW channel for a reason.

is this a popular section of the server, or does it rarely get posted in

It's the third channel down. It's in the main chats. This is how my server is laid out:

Spoiler

so did you not see anything like this coming or what

there's no reason to ban anybody for having stupid opinions, but if the server really had been advertised as a "safe space" for these weak, weak people who so desperately need attention, or want to cling to the notion that they're special, or whatever the fuck is going on in their developing prepubescent minds, then it's not shock that they'd leave once the illusion that they're trying to maintain is shattered

Well, that's how it is advertised

I guess it's about TV shows. If I to believe to the description "Television connects us all" it's an open, wide... umm discord server. I don't think there is a one defined community in there, so things like that is bound to happen quite often until some sort of community will take a shape.

you're right, the description is so vague that you can project anything you want

what it should probably say instead is "a modest server with a focus on freedom of expression" because that's clearly the most important ideal to secondclass

empathy is a good thing to emphasize, but not if it's going to foster that stereotypical snowflake mentality where no one's allowed to have conversations about gender in a way that makes you uncomfortable

I take issue with this. At no point did I advertise my server as a safe space. People assumed it was a "safe space" because it was an LGBT/trans server that had strict rules against slurs, harassment, etc.

i would have to be stupid to take your word for it 100%, so i'm naturally going to assume that you're leaving out details because you're sick of looking bad

And you absoluitely can have LGBT people in a designated debate/free speech room. We aren't lesser minded just because of being LGBT lol. The sensitive ones don't speak for all of us.

wanting a drama-free safe space doesn't make you lesser minded, and it's weird that you think otherwise

edit:
don't you love when you accidentally leave out an important word like DOESN'T
