Fuck police.
I have never ever had a positive interaction with a cop. In the city, I see police cars driving around and I suppose that is good as a deterrent for violent crime. I've never been pulled over by one in the city and they're really just kinda there in the background.
But I'm also super pale white and I've seen how they respond to black people doing anything remotely "bad" like protesting. Cops kill a lot of black people, man.
And then I go back to my home-town, which is the county seat, and see a place flooded with state, city, and county police with nothing better to do than setup speed traps and siphon money away from normal people who may have been going like 5-over the speed limit. I HAVE been pulled over by these types of cops and they are full of it, man. They want you to obey ANYTHING they say and they really do think they have the right to search you, your car, whatever, on a whim.
These pieces of shit are let loose on communities with barely any legal training and a license to kill. They absolutely need to be defunded and let that money go toward programs and professionals who know how to deal with poor and desperate people without shooting or arresting them.
And yeah, all lives matter, but police happen to be killing black and brown people like crazy. Like seriously dude, these people are legitimately executing people on video now and nothing is being done -- they're immune. Just because black people decide to burn down a 7-11, doesn't mean police should fucking shoot them. Yeah, arrest them. Duh. But you can't honestly tell me someone's property that is insured is more valuable than a life. That's how you GET riots, you idiot. People get pissed off that their family members and friends keep getting killed.
I don't wanna be put on a watch list or anything for saying this, and please know I don't advocate violence, but I absolutely understand why people are starting to burn shit down. It's the only way anything gets done. Rich people don't give a shit until their property starts being destroyed.
You're a fucking moron and are on the wrong side of history if you honestly believe police are the good guys here and the protestors are the bad guys.
/rant. Also we should 1v1 on Halo,
I guess this really depends on the community you grew up in. I haven't really had an issue with the police in my neck of the woods. You know that's all fine and dandy if you are going to protest because the police in your area sucks and you want shit changed, but what I have a problem with is when these people decide to terrorize innocent people that haven't done anything wrong. People that have worked really hard in life to get to where they are.
If you seriously believe that every single white person deserves to get terrorized, you have some serious issues. And I'm on the wrong side of history? Are you sure about that? I hope you're armed then should these people decide to come to your neighborhood and break into your house.
And you know man, I'm sorry that you never had a positive interaction with a cop, because there seriously are good ones out there, and yes there are bad ones too. They are after all people.
I just don't see how any of this shit is fair to someone who hasn't done anything to these people, and I DON'T think people should have a free pass to loot and steal from others. Not everyone that has a decent living is rich, especially when they have worked so hard to get far in life. Not every small business owner has millions of dollars, most are middle class with bills to pay and other expenses, heck because of the whole crap with covid many small businesses are barely able to survive now, and the riots completely fucked up their chances of staying open especially if they got destroyed and looted. Mega corporations I get it, they have insurance, but small business? All in the name of Fuck The Police? Tell me how that's right. Tell me how that's okay because that makes zero fucking sense. Again, not all cops are good, I agree with that and not all are bad either. This whole thing right now is a grey area, it always has been, but you need help if you honestly believe that Antifa and BLM's actions are 100% justified. Two wrongs don't make a right.
Also no. I read your comment. We already 1v1'd in the past. Not happening again.
You are judging the protestors by their worst, but are judging the police by their best. Do you not see the cognitive dissonance here?
The difference is that we give police extraordinary powers to protect and serve. If firefighters or airline pilots killed as many people as police do, I bet you’d have a serious fucking problem with it.
And you're judging the "protestors" by their best, but are judging the police by their worst. I already explained that this is a grey area. You know what the difference is with police and all of those other professions? Police have to deal with scum of the earth in their job, because not every single person that they stop or deal with is law abiding. And as I have been saying, yes there are those that abuse their authority, and those particular people will get what's coming to them, but what about those that have a fucking family and actually have done good in the community? What about when they get gunned down by some fuck nut and their kid doesn't have daddy (or mommy) in their life anymore?
I agree with you on the following, the police ARE suppose to protect and serve, the corrupt ones should be tried and sentenced, but I ask you. What will defunding the police and abolishing them achieve? What are you going to replace them with? You can't replace them with nothing because if you do, crime is going to skyrocket. Never underestimate human nature.
What's happening right now is very far from a protest to call these people protesters. If CNN is your source by any means then I really feel sorry for you. They're a joke of a new organization after they reported that the "protesters are mostly peaceful" despite all the carnage and fire in the background.
Deci, what do you think defunding the police means?
The root word of Defund is to take funds away, cut their pay, their salary. If you want the definition of defund, prevent from continuing to receive funds.
Defunding the police should mean to cut their pay, but its going far enough to cut their jobs entirely. The collective left wants the police abolished.
...no. We want to replace SOME of the police with social workers and programs to help take care of non-violent stuff. The same way police don’t take care of 911 calls for fires, we want to shuffle around funds so we don’t have unstable, hostile, armed cops responding to wellness checks, getting spooked, and executing a 9 year old.

My friends and I had a bit of fun with a sports car that parked waaaaaay back in the back of the Six Flags parking lot. There were no other cars around for at least 3-4 rows and we parked right next to this car in my friend's beater. Had a laugh and walked the long walk to the park.
When we came back to the car a couple hours later for lunch (had to get our money's worth and food in there is STUPID expensive) the car had moved one row forward.
So...we also moved one row forward and re-parked next to him before we headed back to the park.
Good times.

Also it's illegal to share DMs
not true
The release of other user’s personal information, including full names, addresses, social media accounts, images, private messages, etc. without their consent is not tolerated. Doing so will lead to the information being edited out and bans being applied.

One thing I haven't brought up, you seem to be putting most of your focus on mobile so far. How are things looking for desktop?
Haven't even touched it yet tbh. I'm of the philosophy of progressive enhancement, so as soon as I get a few more mobile screens finished and have a general "feel" of the UI, I'll slug through desktop. I'm open to ideas if you have some suggestions ahead of time. I know one of the criticisms is that the forum has a lot of wasted space on the side, which is something I do want to address. The other major thing is if we'll have a sidebar in forum view. If so, what will it be?

Hi everybody! It might be a shock, but Septagon 3.0 is something I'm actually making progress on after like 4 years. So, I posted these comps in the Discord channel for development, but I know a lot of you guys don't really participate in it (understandable), so I wanted to make a thread here to get some extra feedback. The original concept was this: Nuka pointed out it looks a LOT like B.next. And it does. I kind of naturally...fell into that trend as I designed it so that the focus could be on content, but I do understand the draw to the old way of doing things. After some discussion, I think the best thing to do would be to have the above as the default style for new users and guests, and then have a simple toggle in settings that will let you theme the site with the older style in mind. Here's what that might look like: New ranking changes are as follows: - On the new style, only staff and special ranks are given colored labels. Normal ranks would look the same but would read differently. The highest rank, Mythic or Marty, would get to be a colored label, to show off.
- Users would get both a cumulative rank (level) based on posts, activity, liked posts, ban count, etc. over time. This would only go up. Users would also be ranked relatively against each other for their Heroic, Legendary, Mythic, etc.
- If you use the old style, the nameplates would behave similarly to how they do now, with the background color matching your rank (Legendary, Mythic, etc.).
Lemme know your thoughts here. Would the majority of you be OK with the default theme being the new style as long as you could toggle on the old style from settings? Coup would be an additional option on top of this, so you could have both enabled. Higher quality videos of these comps are in the discord server.

Change email service is finished, which was actually more challenging than I thought, since the site needs to keep BOTH emails until you've verified the new one (so you don't get locked out).
I'm 1/3 through password / account recovery, which is another medium-sized service.

not something i would urge you to implement or anything, but i still think it would be neat if our "likes received" page could be sorted
it would be cool if we could look back at our most liked posts over the years without having to sift through each page manually
Not one of the high priority features, but I’d be ok adding in a filter for this, yeah.

Would be good to have Youtube videos only load when corresponding Youtube spoiler tag is open (if such thing will still exist in 3.0). Same for images in spoilers. Now I request that, but I have no idea how hard it is and API might just handle it automatically.
This is something that is pretty easy, thankfully. Also a detail I had planned too. Images will be lazy loaded so they come in at the last second and YT vids won’t load their iframe until a user interacts with them.

Where's coup?
So there's customization features I am planning: 1. Coup, where users will be able to save custom CSS rules that are scoped so they ONLY apply to their own posts and can reference images and backgrounds that users upload (in order to ensure users aren't loading in massive image files). This would be a toggle that is off by default, but that anyone can turn on in order to see the coup'd version of everyone's posts. 2. Custom stylesheets so that users can "theme" the site. I'm a bit undecided about this one, since I do intend on making the front-end open source so that users who are css savvy can contribute their own complete styles and create pull requests. I am leaning this way over just letting anyone submit css themes, since that way I can ensure quality while also keeping it more or less democratic and open.

Oh yeah, direct youtube URLs don't work for some reason.
#Invalid YouTube Link#
youtu.be links don't work you mean, a direct link would be youtube.com/watch?v=___
alternatively, you don't really even need the link at all
obverse:
[youtube]7XzqCUbiPc4[/youtube]
I'm open to suggestions here. Everything will need to be developed again, so a lot of features that weren't possible before will be possible now. I DO plan on using markdown instead of BBCode, since it's a lot easier to work with on a phone than typing out long encapsulation tags. What that will mean is that YouTube and other embeddable "things" like soundcloud, Vimeo, etc. could just be rendered as embeds on the front end and all users would need to do is type the URL (the app would figure it out).
