Merry Christmas you bastards. You're all like the dysfunctional and borderline abusive family I never had.

Turkey's not that bad.
Generally, it's
- Door
- Mordo
- Meta
- Slash
- Turkey
that's the spectrum of serious forum right-wingedness, in order of descending right-wingedness
Mordo and Meta seem more like classical liberals to me. I'm not exactly sure if you'd call that right wing.

And by the way, if you value progress more than peace, you're a shitty person.
And you're a shit person if you want to prevent the advancement of humanity in the name of nebulous ideals.

I haven't paid any attention to him since my sophomore year of high school. Back then everyone I knew was talking about him and it was rather annoying.

You do realize that anime is extremely popular, right?
For who?
The only people I "know" who enjoy anime are on this site.
I mean, you're going to need to define popular for me.
I mean that the market for it in the West is huge. Were you unaware of the huge fan following that Japanese pop culture has online and in Western nations?

This is highschooler tier kind of logic and reasoning, "Its something odd to me, so I'm just gonna call it weird and stay clear of it". Believe or not, most just don't give a shit, I already said it, but I'll say it again.
Well, deal with it. That's what people think of anime.
I'm not saying that's what I believe, I'm saying that's what most believe.
Please tell me more how people being cunts to the newbies didn't make them want to leave, or how their drama didn't do the same, please, please do.
Holy shit, calm down. You're misinterpreting what I said for the third fucking time.
BEING A CUNT DOES MORE TO PUSH AWAY NEW USERS THAN WEEBERY.
Christ, you're mad.
I'm interpreting it just fine, I'm just annoyed at how dense you about this stupid logic of yours in regards to newbies, but whatever, if you think the several months worth of Noelle/Kiyo/Nuka/Comms/Cis/Verb/etc drama that plagued the site for about half of its lifespan along with how close knit the site is, is less of a deterrent than "weebery" then fine, think what you want.
Hey now, I don't really start anything. I just find this site's drama hilarious and entertaining.
Shhhhh, you know what you did.
What did I do? Mess with Noelle for cheap laughs? Start PC vs. console flame wars in Gaming? Spam interracial gay porn in Skype chats?

They're the faces of the community so of course they should be likable and decent people. However, charisma and popularity shouldn't trump competency. For me a good balance of both traits is important. Psy is a great example of this.

How about the fact that he's an authoritarian despot?
Bah
Russia needs another Czar tbh
He'll make Russia great again. Trust him.
Just like Germany needs another Reich. Authoritarianism is just so fucking great!
Yes
Only the joke is Angel Merkel isn't nearly as bad as Putin in the slightest.
When it comes to the merits of a politician like Angela Merkel I usually like to let history be the judge as I don't have the facts to form a decent opinion on the matter.
Yesh
but yeah, Putin is pretty damn bad. That whole 85%ish approval rating is a lie thing since there is no freedom of the press.
You can assume that pretty much any number put forward by the press will be a lie. Even when there is "freedom of the press", journos are not to be trusted.
That's true, but you can look across various news sites in countries like ours and gather a sort of common theme going for them. In Russia, not so much.
This is why propagandized news sources like Al-Jazeera and RT are so useful.

http://news.yahoo.com/did-the-romans-beat-columbus-to-it-scientists-161858350.htmlSpoiler The year 1492 is etched in history as the date America was discovered.
Christopher Columbus’s pioneering journey has, for centuries, been considered Europe’s first contact with the continent.
But, although there is a degree of evidence to suggest a Norse settlement some 500 years earlier, other discussions about prior discoveries have fallen into category pseudo science.
But now a team of scientists claim to have found evidence they believe could “rewrite the history” of America.
They say it was first discovered by the Romans.
The new study claims ancient mariners visited the New World more than a 1,000 years before Columbus set foot there.
Researchers from the Ancient Artifact Preservation Society (AAPS) say a Roman sword was discovered in a shipwreck off Oak Island on the south shore of Nova Scotia, Canada.
The research reveals that a Roman legionnaire’s whistle, Gold Carthage coins, part of a Roman shield and a Roman head sculpture have also been found on the island.
Lead historian Jovan Hutton Pulitzer insists the haul is firm evidence the Romans landed there first and is the “single most important discovery” ever for the Americas.
“The ceremonial sword came out of that shipwreck. It is 100 per cent confirmed as Roman.
"I began my forensic work into it using an XRF analyser – which is a leading archaeological tool for analysing metals.
"And we found all these other metals that tell you this was made from ore that came directly from the ground.
"It has the same arsenic and lead signature in it. We’ve been able to test this sword against another one like it and it matches.
"Some years ago, a man and his son were scalloping off Oak Island, which sees them hang a rake-like object off the back of their boat.
"They put it under the surface and when they brought this up, the sword came up with it.
"The father kept it for decades, and when he died it went to his wife, then his daughter.
"Then when she died many years later it went to her husband. It was he who approached me and said ‘I think you should know about this and where it was found’.
"The shipwreck is still there and has not been worked,” he said.
Oak Island is a privately-owned 57-hectare island in Lunenburg County on the south shore of Nova Scotia.
It has been at the centre of one of the biggest treasure hunts in history, which began in in 1795 centring on the infamous 'Money Pit’ – a 230ft booby-trapped shaft which is thought to contain valuable artifacts.
Since 1795, six treasure hunters have lost their lives trying to excavate the pit.
Mr Pulitzer thinks theories like his are too readily dismissed because they do not conform with traditionally held religious and political beliefs.
He added: "We have absolutely been lead to believe that nothing happened on this side of the pond before Christopher Columbus.
"That’s a church-induced concept. All the ancient records that exist make it very clear the world was circumnavigated and the world was round.
"But when the Catholic Church and the Romans came in, all those records were destroyed – so we had to kind of re-learn this stuff.”
The team plans to publish its report in full early next year. I'm inclined to believe that this is fake. If it's not then holy fucking shit history has just been re-written.

You're mixing up fiction with money, drugs, and hedonistic pleasure. If fiction could still make life better, I'd still believe in God and an afterlife.
Fiction = escapism. Fiction includes video games, movies, books, television... Drugs could also be a form of escapism, but without the grace and creative prowess that fiction offers.
It's quite funny how the only way to truly enjoy life is to escape it. Says something about the experience as a whole.
You should see a psychiatrist.

What constitutes "terrible service" to you people?
Rude, unpleasant and unhelpful.
740
« on: December 20, 2015, 06:08:54 PM »
The normal 15% if it's normal service. If they were really great and they made the time at the restaurant enjoyable then I'll give them more. If they're terrible then nothing at all.

He broke the rules and was punished accordingly
That too. Still doesn't change the fact that the whole debacle was funny though.

If I may ask what other things has Deci done to you? He seems relatively harmless to me.
He hasn't done anything to me. Prior to me finding out about his spoiling-tendencies, I was actually sympathetic towards him. I felt this forum's obsession with pissing him off was severely uncalled for.
Also, I can understand the feeling of wanting to rage over bullshit but I've always been of the opinion that we should tame our passions to the best of our abilities and not let them cloud our better judgement.
Why do you think I didn't choke the life out of the guy that spoiled it for me? Because I let my better judgement get the best of me. Which is a good thing. Which is what I'm doing when I say that we should censure people who do this kind of shit unapologetically.
You're probably have a point. However, it's probably a good idea to not rage at them as that's generally what someone who leaks spoilers is aiming for.

« on: December 19, 2015, 06:54:26 PM »
If your idea of punishment is to simply give him a longer than normal ban for offences like this one and scorn his actions then that seems reasonable. Beyond that would seem like nothing more than retribution to me.
Well, I wanted nothing more than to choke the life out of the person who spoiled it for me (but he's done more to me than just spoil shit, believe me). But there's really nothing else I can do about it.
If I may ask what has Deci done exactly? He seems relatively harmless to me. Also, I can understand the feeling of wanting to rage over bullshit but I've always been of the opinion that we should tame our passions to the best of our abilities and not let them cloud our better judgement.

This seems fair enough. I concede.
Really?
Awesome.
I'll never personally get mad over a movie spoiler but I'll never deny that it is kind of a shit thing to do.

Beyond that would seem like nothing more than retribution to me.

And what do you suggest we do with regards to the punishment that he apparently deserves?
We ostracise and censure him.
We also have rules against spoiling.
And how do you know whether that's JJ's vision or not?
I just said how I know that. If JJ wanted me to know what happens at the end of the movie, at the beginning of the movie, I'd know it.
I doubt he really gives a shit whether someone knew the ending or not before watching the movie for the first time. After all, movies like this are pretty much made just for profit.
I really don't give a shit if he doesn't or not. You may not be insulting him by spoiling his movie, but you're denying the person watching that movie the chance to experience what he had envisioned for the audience.
This is basic shit.
This seems fair enough. I concede.

« on: December 19, 2015, 06:27:42 PM »
So you're going to try to punish a man over posting spoilers to a mediocre movie on a forum?
I think we all should, yes. A shitty thing no matter how small is still a shitty thing.
And what the hell does artistic control and integrity have to do with something as stupid as this?
Because JJ's vision for what the viewers would see did not include knowing the ending of the movie. If the director wanted me to know what was going to happen, I would know about it.
Some retard on a forum ruining my experience -- the experienced that I was meant to have, means that I will never experience what the director intended. Ever.

If people can't understand why spoiling something is a terrible thing to do then they truly are lost.
I won't deny that it's a dick thing to do but it just doesn't seem as bad to me as you're all making it out to be.
