The Flood / Re: Regarding last night and Kupo's ban
« on: April 22, 2016, 01:45:24 PM »
I mean, you still need to give examples on mod inconstancy for one, you guys always say this and never go past 'My friend was banned for banter'

The rest is just me not understanding, you don't like the forum, but you don't hate it, because yes, we can all agree it's basically a shit-pile of a 'community'

The fact on if it could be better is too hard to see, since nobody would change, it'll turn into bungle soon enough
Inconsistent moderation is when Deci get's banned for doing the same exact thing I did, but I get a warning. I used myself as an example. Good enough?

Deci did it like 3 times before his ban iirc. I think he also threatened to DDOS the site? It's been a while and I can't remember clearly.

If we could not be drama llamas about this and resume business of usual that would be nice. Also if certain users would put the effort they put into trying to create needless drama into actually making this place better for everyone I think people would enjoy their time here a lot more.

I guess we should stop vaccinating our kids until they're old enough to make an informed decision about it.

And yes, some vaccinations are completely unnecessary and can be held off until the kid is an adult.

I love how now one gives a shit about consent and the right to your own body until this one issue comes up.

You have a right to do whatever you want so long as it doesn't affect anyone. Vaccinations are a matter of public health and disease control. Circumcision is a medically unnecessary and gruesome procedure that inflicts excruciating pain on an infant. When what you're doing affects other people it becomes an issue.
First of all, the flu vaccine is 100% unneccesary and shouldnt be taken by anyone. Secondly, there's no better time in a person's life to be circumsized than right after birth. It's unneccesary, but objectively better than not getting the procedure. The same can't be said for mandatory flu shots.

I'm sorry what? Nothing you said in this post is remotely true.
The flu vaccine is 100% unnecessary. I haven't gotten it in years.

For young children and the elderly the Flu vaccine can save lives.

At the moment I wouldn't consider this impersonation. The only thing the two of you really share is an avatar right now.

Colors are different, title is different, icon is different, nameplate is different.

The name is somewhat similar, but it's still clearly pip as it has pip right in the middle of it.

Was co-oping with Tru and Byrne to when we got invaded by a mad spirit.

Dude kept running around like a pussy and hiding in the middle of the AI. Pulled out a bow to try and plink away at his health with arrows when I remembered that they can be hurt by the AI. Shot the symbiote with an arrow when he was sitting next to it and it one hit killed him with the resulting freakout.

Video is from Tru's perspective.

How are the controls?
Dl'd it last night but was too busy playing something else.

M&K is ok, but it's hard to do shit like half circles and the like on it so you'll mostly be doing regular attacks. Using a boner controller currently and everything feels fine.




I also want secondaries to leave and stay leave.
fucking secondaries reeeeeee

Are only certain controllers supported or am I gonna be okay with the old Dualshock 2 that I play my emulators with?

I'd honestly have to look that up. The boner controller is basically universally supported at this point on the PC so I've never had to worry about it not being so.

Purging voters? How?

Connections that can win her the election by purging voters likely to vote for sanders and restricting polling stations in their areas as well.

It happened in Arizona and it's happening again in New York.

Changing their registrations from Democrat to independent so they can't vote in closed primaries. 54,000 people in Brooklyn had this happen to them and that area was projected to be strong for Bernie.
...how can this even happen? This is some third world "democracy" shit from unstable countries in the Middle East (or Russia) where ballots conveniently forget to mention the name of the opposing candidate or someone ends up with 140% of all votes. I've never cared that much about the US elections because of how much of a populist joke they all are, but how in the world does stuff like this even fly?
it isnt really public knowledge. most americans subscribe to the vague idea that "politicians are bad", but dont really comprehend the sheer scope of the corruption and power consolidation going on within the elite class. we're too busy trying to keep our jobs, pay off our student loans, have families to try and change the world.
.

The one good thing that may come from this election even if the candidates people actually want don't win is the fact that more people will become aware of how the primaries work due to the blatant corruption going on I'm the establishment of both parties.
But then the question is what can we do about it?  Sure we can learn for next time, but even then, if either side doesn't like who we vote for and the rig the system, what then?

Last time the parties picked candidates the people didn't actually want there were riots at their conventions. That's why there's a public vote for the primary now instead of the candidate being picked solely by the party elites. It's doubtful that people will riot again, but a way to help alleviate the problem would to be to force the parties to hold open primaries across all 50 states via legislation. This way the purging tactics can't be used to stifle the vote from groups the party elites don't want voting.

Of course this wont change anything for this election and even the lawsuits being brought against the DNC in Arizona and New York for this kind of behavior won't resolve anything until after the general election is well underway or already over.

Bernie dudes need to hope that Hillary's FBI investigation leads into places that will lead to her being unable to run due to a possible indictment, Trump dudes need to hope that he can secure enough delegates to avoid a contested convention.

Uhhh.

that's, like... not okay

how are they getting away with this

Private election.

In the general election it wouldn't matter what party (or lack of a party) you're registered as, but if the party is choosing to have a closed primary they'll only let people who are registered as part of their party vote in it.

That's crazy, I don't remember hearing much about this in the news.

Big business favors the Clintons since they're essentially blue republicans. When it's mentioned it's usually in a passing segment and not done as a big story.

Allegedly 3.2 million people across the state were purged.

Sanders has the New York Jews on his side, though. Hillary just has the New York connections.
