The Flood / Re: having a bed frame is bourgeois

I prefer mattress on floor tbh. Ever since I've raised it my back has been giving me problems.
Yeah. It was nice and supported and level the whole way though, not just on the edges like a fucking raised  bedframe will be.

maybe nips have the right idea

tbh I think I prefer not having a bed frame

I had a mattress on the floor as a kid for the longest time and i feel like i slept better on the floor than i did in a raised bed. the same can be said now for when i sleep on someones couch vs sleeping in their bed

You didn't answer me earlier.

Now are we seeing the results of the star bursting into a nova in five years or is it going to happen in 5 years and we won't see the results for another hundred thousand?
i did answer. basically the stars are already merged right now and the light should be coming to us in 5 years

Serious / The Gamification of Being an Obedient Citizen

https://qz.com/519737/all-chinese-citizens-now-have-a-score-based-on-how-well-we-live-and-mine-sucks/

So I thought about making this topic a year ago due to most of us having a shared interest in gaming as a hobby and due to the fact that I generally find it to be an interesting subject, but just never ended up getting around to it. For those who don't know (and can read or watch more about above) China has instituted a system where all of their citizens online activity is monitored and rated on their purchasing habits and political opinions they've expressed. People with higschores can get things like better loans from the bank or discounts on hotels when they travel while people with lower scores will face more scrutiny and will likely end up finding it harder to things like loans or insurence and could find it harder to secure jobs due to having a low "trustworthiness" rating.

Even if the information on this is outdated due to being a year old we can still discuss the concept, or idea of a system like this being put in place. So what are your thoughts on the above system that people of criticized as being Orwellian? Do you think we might see these kinds of systems popping up outside of China in the future?

Gen Y = Millennials

Gen Z is the generation after the millennials

No, Gen Y is after X. 90's kids
90s kids are millennials, Gen Z is people born 1996 and later

look it up fam

Millennials (also known as Generation Y, Generation Me, Echo Boomers, Peter Pan Generation) are the demographic cohort following Generation X. There are no precise dates for when this cohort starts or ends; demographers and researchers typically use the early 1980s as starting birth years and ending birth years ranging from the mid-1990s to early 2000s.

millenials don't actually exist anyway so its not like it matters

Do all the new members just jump onto Skype and Discord? You'd think they would frequent the forums regularly before venturing to the other forms of communication.

a lot of people log in and lurk for a bit every now and again

Halo 6: Cortana creates a safe space  for all the species of the galaxy.

when you get down to it isn't this actually her canon plan?

Expet her idea of a safe space somehow involves mascaraing random colonists with antimatter shotguns for no obvious reason.
Maybe they sat in an offensive way on their public transportation.

you gotta crack a few eggs to make an omlet

Cortana's methodology for breaking eggs by dropping KEM strikes on every farm which may or may not produce livestock may not be the most efficiant one.

they're really big eggs ok?

Welp. Fuck Discord and Skype then.

to give an example right here, icy just posted a thread on the white house ethics committee however the amount of discussion its going to generate has already been hit with a bat because its already been discussed in the discord groups

What happened 2 years ago that generated topics...

Was that Crimea, israeli-palestinian tensions on the rise or ISIS/Syria news?

discord and skype weren't really things

this place loses a lot of activity to the discord (use to be skype) chats that formed from here

topics people would normally post on the forum people just start up in those chats instead

What actually happened?

he said to LC "id be perfectly okay skinning your face and eating it" or something

based on his prior behaviour in that thread it was well earned

eh, the jump from playground tier back and forth to descriptions on how you'd like to strangle and skin the face of the person you're in a tussle with broke the camels back

he has a long history of this kind of stuff (with a few near perma bans on his record) and the general hostility towards the other people on this forum has been something of note for a while

to be clear i was not the one who issued this ban, i brought it up with the rest of the staff to get their take on it and to carry out any bans if the general feeling was that it was time to give him a time out and action was taken from there
