The Flood / Re: I feel bad for the UK users here
« on: February 01, 2018, 12:48:22 PM »
The UK . . in fact, much of Europe seems to be steadily going down a dark path when it comes to both privacy and freedom of expression. It's really disheartening to see, even though I live in the US.
But Europe is by large and far the biggest privacy-oriented power in the world. Expression is much more debatable, but privacy law is literally most of my job and what you're saying here just isn't accurate in the light of many recent EU privacy happenings.

That's speaking about the EU though. The UK has always been a more of nanny state and you're likely going to be seeing a lot more of these recessive policies after the Brexit.
the same guy who doesn't see a point in guaranteeing the right to a jury trial, everyone
Are you really going to do this every time I post about this stuff? I know you have some kind of strange hateboner for me because god forbid I sometimes criticize things about the US, but now you're just being silly. It's a fact that the EU is more protective of privacy than the US, which is something completely unrelated to jury trials. Requiring a full jury for all small offenses is a largely pointless waste of time and resources, and the ample examples of countries with strong codified guarantees to jury trials that don't have it in such broad terms in their constitution backs my point. The right to a fair trial or due process most definitely does deserve that protection, but an explicit constitutional guarantee to a jury for every criminal offense is in my opinion and that of many other scholars not a necessity as this is usually already covered by the general fairness requirement.
your blatant disregard for rights we consider fundamental is annoying, and your insinuation that despite the obvious way private information is forced into public hands in Europe,  that anyone there enjoys more privacy is laughable

Yeah man all the time.

Honestly there's nothing to be intimidated by as long as you have your phone. Google kind of ameliorates all of the traditional problems with being somewhere you don't know anything about without anyone to help.

The Flood / Re: PRAISE LENA DUNHAM!
« on: January 26, 2018, 09:58:11 PM »
Who?

A famous actress who allegedly used to molest her little sister when she was a kid.
You have no high ground lol, you're allegedly a serial rapist

Spoiler
I hope everyone here has learned an important lesson about the uselessness of "alleged" claims

What's your problem

She's been accused of molestation, that's a fact. Whether she actually did it or not is irrelevant to what I said.
Except the person who claimed Lena Dunham molested her sister was Lena Dunham.

There are plenty of reason to hate her auxiliary to that, though.

lol do people actually buy new shoes like

"oh the old footsacks are gettin old and look a lil tired, time to shop a new pair."

I just buy shoes when I have $100 and want something to make me feel better.

I must have a dozen pairs or more, christ.

OT: Boots.
I don't know what kind you like, but there are practically no wrong answers when it comes to boots.

even if that were true, that wouldn't mean anything
How so?
because you don't need to have worked to know when someone is doing a piss-poor job at something

what kind of shitty logic is that
You kind of need to though you retard.
so everything you've ever eaten has tasted wonderful because you're not a cook
knowing more about cooking now than I used to, I'm embarrassed at some of the things I used to like eating

in the company of people who are more versed than I am in the culinary, I am often still embarrassed at some of the things I consider good

being able to admit you don't know anything is a hallmark of wisdom

The Flood / Re: Why aren't you a Communist?
« on: January 17, 2018, 12:53:16 PM »
I am not knowledgeable or in agreement with the tenants of any specific ideology enough to choose to subscribe to it. I just show an interest in and abide by certain ideas and values.

With that said, communism has always looked particularly unappealing to me. What with the whole starving nations thing or being worked to death in a gulag because I disagree with the state.
none of those were actually communist
Is this a real response anymore? It's become such a meme. Whatever, I'll respond.

Multiple regimes, those in charge of governing very different cultures, tried to pursue equality of outcome over equality of opportunity. What happened then? People died in numbers beyond any accurate measure. Was it just corruption? Personally I think there's a lot more to it than just that, but who is to say another tyrannical bastard wont take over the next one? It's what they do after all.
In REEL Communism™ nobody gets gulagged because nobody disagrees with the state.

Communism™ is the result of extended social engineering that could last for decades or centuries to get everyone acclimated to this new system that is completely infallible, entirely fair, and most interestingly, is self sustaining without any sort of administration.

The reality is that Communism is impossible without Fascism.

Real reason though, because it's not working atm - the only current places that do are fairly crap ('cept maybe Cuba, but is that still communist?) and trying to have lone communist ideals in a capitalist country makes no rational sense.
Spoiler
cuba is very much a socialist nation still

Sooo... not communist then. Probably why Cuba looks at least somewhat appealing.
uh, no. their modern nation has its roots in a proletarian revolution which was characterized by marxist-leninist style communist ideology. it's a communist nation which is currently in the socialist stage of history.

So Socialism is the natural progression of Communism?

Serious question. I'm no idealogical buff but I didn't think that was how it worked.
Marx suggested systems by which Capitalism could be transitioned into Communism.

In fact, Marx justified capitalism as a necessity to create the conditions under which Communism could thrive.

Cuba is in a transitional phase which has been drawn out for many decades by vicious US embargoes.

I'm in agreement with Das though, Strasserism is the key to evading a Red Mistake like what occurred in North Korea or the USSR.

You can blame Star Wars fans for the fight choreography since they unironicly bitched about it being too good in the prequels.
right?

the irony of it is the same people who complained about all the flips and shit probably watch anime where the fights are way more over the top and ineffective

Steak is shit, there's nothing appealing about a chewy tasteless slab of meat unless you're primal of course
You've never had a decent steak in your life, it really shows.
Dude I've eaten steak at one of the most expensive steak houses in London and it was meh
And how did you order it?
