Is there a punishment for a simple "Your opinion is wrong"?
no, since opinions can certainly be wrong

Sounds harsh, what's wrong with free speech?


"that's just your opinion" is nothing more than an empty non-sequitur that stifles discussion and fosters an atmosphere where people are afraid to speak their true minds without sugarcoating, walking on eggshells, or otherwise potentially hurting someone's feelings just for choosing to assert oneself in a way that doesn't insult the intelligence of everyone reading the post

so it's not about free speech; if anything, posting shit like that is anti-free speech, and these rules would encourage more in-depth discussion, because it opens the door to better responses, such as "why do you feel this way?" which will inevitably lead to a more fruitful conversation or argument

everyone over the age of 3 understands that nobody's opinions are factual, so there's absolutely no point in acknowledging the subjectivity of your statements—it's kind of like pointing out that the sky is blue; why would you even do that

the only appropriate response to posts like that is to ban them, because they're essentially spam that contributes absolutely nothing

the first two rules are going to be

1. anyone who says "that's just your opinion" after somebody states an opinion will be instantly and permanently banned
2. anyone who says "that's just my opinion" after stating an opinion will be temporarily banned after one warning

there will be no other rules

sound good? yes

Why? Seriously I just think you hate me and therefore will ascribe anything I do as bad.
because there's no joke, it's just you doing an annoying RP

They're both states of being. Fire is hot, so one should be led to believe that water is wet.

Hotness is a property of temperature, not physical contact
you just stack the atoms of water.

dump water on water and you just have more water.
you can't have an atom of water, they're molecules you FUCKING IMBECILE

that basically disqualifies you from any comments on the matter right there

however, if assist trophies, mii costumes, and spirits are still disconfirmed, that leaves us with the following characters:

Dr. Coyle
Springtron
Kid Cobra
Lola Pop
Master Mummy
Max Brass
Misango
Mechanica
Byte & Barq
Helix

unless, of course, they pull a sylveon and give us someone brand new or give us a tag team or some shit

Amazon's telling me that my copy of AC was delivered yesterday, but it wasn't, and i'm still waiting

if we weren't undergoing a global crisis right now, i'd be pissed, but i understand that they're prioritizing more important deliveries

Meanwhile I spend time reading about Linux and listening to music from NES games, since I can't do such a wonderful thing as running NES emulator through WINE without my laptop. Oh well.
what NES games are you trying to play
Bubble Bobble Part 2 and Little Nemo -The Dream Master.  I also had in mind set up an emulator on my mom's PC so she could play her favorite games such as Super Mario Brothers and Snow Bros, but she doesn't seem to be interested right now.
I also been playing Kick Master and Goonies, was about to grab Final Mission(japanese version), my favorite shmup.
wtf how did i not get notified of this post

little nemo was my fucking SHIT

goonies was great too, i beat it with my dad once

The Flood / Re: I'm officially a vegetarian now
« on: March 23, 2020, 08:30:28 AM »
cool

if the quarantine hadn't complicated things, would you consider going the extra mile into veganism? because if it's an ethical decision for you, it's important to understand that vegetarianism isn't quite "enough" unless you're using it as a stepping stone
No, because I don't think there's anything wrong with using animal goods when you're not hurting the animal. A sheep in captivity, being shaved every now and again in exchange for food, water, shelter, and security, is not a bad deal for the sheep. They essentially get to escape the cruel cycle of life in exchange for a harmless procedure done every once in a while.
the trouble is, when extracting virtually any product from farm animals, they are pretty much invariably harmed in the process

the animal exploitation industry is a business like any other, and like any other business, they have to meet profit margins by selling as much produce as efficiently as possible—and there's no scenario where this ends well for the animals

with regards to sheep-shearing, a factory farm isn't going to hire someone who treats sheep with love and care, because that's not fast enough—instead, they hire sociopaths who don't care if they injure the sheep, as long as they get it done as fast as possible

the nicks and cuts they get from this procedure are known to attract flies—so many, in fact, that they'll start laying eggs inside of their wounds; the maggots will then start wreaking havoc on their insides and, of course, cause an even worse infestation (this is called flystrike)

because flystrike happens most often around the anus (for obvious reasons), farmers began to cut off the strips of skin around their tail in a process called mulesing—imagine having the skin on your buttocks peeled off, basically—to help prevent infestations, which is neither foolproof nor humane

this all takes place, of course, so that human beings can have cuddly clothes

when the sheep age beyond their usefulness, they are immediately slaughtered—and although opinions vary among vegans on how big of a deal this is, we can all agree that if you're going to put an animals "out of their misery," they should be euthanized, not slaughtered

online, you'll probably find articles talking about how important and necessary it is for sheep to be shorn, because they're incapable of shedding themselves, and will overheat and die if we don't do it for them—"so what's the harm in reaping the benefits of that"—and this is true, but you have to remember that the only reason sheep on farms don't stop growing their wool is because they've been selectively bred for that very purpose

so no matter how you look at it, livestock sheep are bred to suffer—the industry cannot sustain itself if they don't

It's not so much as work as it is normal routine and something to do

Also what is your avatar and why have you changed it
got tired of dane, so i'm using a closeup of a box jellyfish's eyeball, because it's cool

the promise isn't broken because i'm using signavatar as a workaround, dane should still show up every 1 in 4

I don't remember the last time I didn't spend a birthday alone
You need to put up a Craigslist post to get some dudes over so you can some mileage out of the trap life
I live too rurally for that. I'm doomed to be wasted potential
There has to be some hot dudes in your town
You could be the local village piece of ass
why are you perpetually 12

i get that casper's too dumb to know that he's being gravely insulted right now, but still

i don't have a singular birthday that was better than all the others

as far as gifts go, i probably got the most mileage out of pokémon silver, which is a game i'd still pick up and play 20 years later

as far as memories go, having an all-nighter with my friends playing guitar hero and shit is probably up there

as far as the day itself goes, i prefer having a quiet dinner with family to loud parties with friends these days

I haven't even played a single Yakuza game in the first place, so there'd be no sense in picking up the 8th installment.
If you ever feel like playing a Yakuza game then 0 is both a convenient starting place and generally considered the best in the series. I want to see your take on it.
it looks like if bollywood was japanese, which is pretty fun
