| Topic | More than 40,000 Steam users were banned the day after the Summer Sale. |
| streamofthesky 07/11/17 2:33:58 AM #6 | So Steam is able to take all their money and then immediately turn around and "ban" them so they can't make use of their purchases? How is this legal? (I barely use Steam myself, don't like DRM shit, so I'm asking how this works. The way the TC's article was worded just made it sound very shocking/questionable) |
| Topic | Why aren't there male elementary school teachers? |
| streamofthesky 07/11/17 2:31:05 AM #18 | Dynalo posted... Mostly because males don't want to teach elementary. Heh, if you use that exact same reasoning with women and engineer/scientist jobs, you're called sexist. It's much easier for a woman to find a job in those fields b/c they want to balance out the heavily male population but it remains by far male-dominated for the same reason as the above. Meanwhile, at least in the area I live, they have "STEM" events all the time to teach technical skill and encourage young girls (and exclusively girls) to become scientists/engineers asking for volunteers that I refuse to take part in b/c I find them sexist. |

(If you want to learn why they disagree, feel free to read up on it.) And America's repeated policies of "ethnic cleansing" (which, by the way, is a massive stretch in virtually every sense) were a large part of why whites were able to settle across the continent and were certainly not limited to Jackson by any stretch. And do you honestly believe that mudslinging wasn't a thing before Jackson? rolfmao! Jefferson famously called Adams, "a blind, bald, crippled, toothless man who is a hideous hermaphroditic character with neither the force and fitness of a man, nor the gentleness and sensibility of a woman." No, spare me the bs "repeated" ethnic cleansings. I'm talking the fucking Trail of Tears, where Natives were forcibly removed from their homeland and marched under brutal conditions out west, resulting in staggering amounts of deaths along the way. There is no other single event in our history as remotely plainly evil as that. You seem to be mixing up insulting opponents with true mudslinging, where often it's not even you but people working for you starting rumors against your opponent to assassinate his character. And whether or not it existed before that election, Jackson took it much farther than anyone else ever had (as did his opponent, but at least those attacks tended to be true). Anti-corruption?! I bet you think trump is anti-corruption, too! Jackson INVENTED the Spoils System, giving all the top posts to allies and party members and shutting out the opposition. Before him, presidents actually didn't do that. And for all his bluster about the big banks, his solution to them was to have state banks...conspicuously run by friends of his. What a champion of anti-corruption! (on a related note, he was also the first slimy U.S. politician to master having a populist, "I'm one of the people" campaigns despite being quite wealthy in reality) |

| Topic | Is NASCAR a sport? |
| streamofthesky 07/11/17 2:06:04 AM #44 | The_Numerous posted... "an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment." Thanks for mentioning that competitive gaming and gambling are also sports, by the TC's very broad definition. I realized that logical extension after posting but didn't feel like editing it in. Are car racing, chess, poker, and Star Craft tournaments "sports" officially? Obviously, they're classified as such. But TC wanted to make a topic on it, so that means what TC really wanted to know is "Do you think they SHOULD be considered sports?" If his goal was to just post a link to a wikipedia and ask us if we're capable of reading that X is referred to as a sport, then this topic is just trolling and pointless. Of course everything and the kitchen sink is classified as a sport. There's no real incentive or stakeholder that really cares about gate keeping the definition, and tons of interest/push from purveyors of X form of entertainment/past-time to label their endeavors as a "sport" to supposedly legitimize them. Just the people with common sense looking on and laughing, "lulz, come on...that's really not a sport." EDIT: Also, for fuck sakes, stop quoting the post that contains the @[my user name] or strip it out before posting if you must use it. That's getting really fucking annoying. Just a general request, not addressed to the guy quoted above. |

You're like that uncle that just keeps talking at the family party and people just say "uh-huh" and nod their heads Worse, he's the guy who knows he's wrong so he tries to ramble on as much as possible to mask that fact and get the other person to just give up arguing. ParanoidObsessive posted... Directly? No. But his views on the point definitely helped tipped the balance, and he absolutely knew it was going to be a factor when he ran in the first place. Literally blaming Lincoln (at least in part) for causing a war for having the nerve to exercise his right to run for political office. How dare he! Doesn't he know the southern states would throw a hissy fit if he won a legally held democratic election?! ParanoidObsessive posted... And realistically, despite most of his protestations of "I'll do anything to preserve the Union, even accept slavery", he likely would have pushed for legislation that the South would have objected to, and expectations of same absolutely played a role in why they seceded. That's called a Representative Democracy. You're literally complaining that if a majority of the country wants a law passed/changed and elect the people to do it, that it's somehow wrong. ParanoidObsessive posted... Hell, a major part of it was the perception (which, again, we are absolutely facing today) that people in one region are using their disproportional population density to force their views on people who live in larger regions but with less population, meaning laws get passed that don't actually support the people forced to abide by them, and which they effectively had little say in. And that wasn't going to change no matter who won the election. First of all, what we're facing today is the problem that a MINORITY of the country is dictating laws to the MAJORITY due to Gerrymandering of votes and lobbying of our Congressional leaders. Second of all, no. You're wrong. Just stop. You're embarrassing yourself now. Electing a majority to Congress and getting the laws you want passed/changed is exactly how our country is supposed to work. If said laws are unconstitutional or unjust, we have checks and balances (executive veto; challenging in the courts) to overturn said laws. The South saw they had lost on the issue of slavery, or were on the verge of it, and decided they didn't want to play by the rules of the republic now that it didn't suit them. |

And is moot because Lincoln didn't choose to go to war for the sake of ending slavery. Despite the childish sarcasm of "The War of Northern Aggression," it was the South that saw the results of a democratic election and decided "screw that", it was the South that chose to secede, it was the South that attacked first. So I REALLY don't know why PO felt the need to write a thesis on Lincoln's "decision" to "start" a war. |

Others might argue that the militarized solution to slavery in the US is a large part of what helped spur the next 100 years or so of civil rights violations and rampant intolerance in the South. Yeah, the South was known at the time for their tolerance and progressive views towards black people. If only that mean ol' Uncle Abe hadn't strong armed them into ending slavery, I'm sure they would've gotten around to it soon enough, and then immediately harbor feelings of nothing but sunshine and rainbows towards the now-free black people who were uneducated and unprepared to fend for themselves...for reasons we'll never know. |

I also don't think Chess is a sport, but if car racing is, chess absolutely is as well, it involves at least as much physical activity. |

Or the part where a Canadian citizen was returned to his home country? Lolwhat? - The courts decided it, not Trudeau, why do people keep blaming him for a court's decision? - What the fuck could Trump even do about this, like seriously? - This Layne guy seems like kind of a dumbass in general. - Yeah, the guy killed a soldier. But it was during a battle between the two forces, he's an enemy combatant. You hold him like any other enemy soldier you take captive, it doesn't make him a "terrorist" by default. - I don't approve of torture, no. How badly I miss Burn Notice, where they'd piss all over the idea that it's useful for intel and correctly note that the only thing torture is good for is pleasing sadists and getting a bunch of bogus information... |

(who ironically was a great general and utterly horrible president) Nope, not letting this one go with your dismissive, "it's a myth." Andrew Jackson is one of if not THE worst president we've ever had, and I covered why in detail in a topic you posted in asking if Trump is the worst president we've ever had, and you didn't have jack shit to say about my comments back then. I'm not typing out an essay again, but in summary as president, he committed ethnic cleansing (arguably genocide), pioneered nearly everything we hate about politics (spoils system, mudslinging lying campaign ads, etc...), and single-handedly caused the worst economic crisis in U.S. history before the Great Depression took the spot a century later (caused by many actors and factors). |
| Topic | Do you like this person: George Washington |
| streamofthesky 07/09/17 9:09:44 PM #14 | He was a grossly overrated and pretty poor general, most famous for a few daring escapades that luckily brought great success but could have easily gone horribly awry. As president though, he was great. Could have effectively been made king but instead voluntarily gave up power after two terms, and wisely warned about the formation of political parties on his way out. He did also own slaves, and I can understand someone disliking him for that. But most wealthy white landowners at the time did, and I don't recall him being a particularly harsh master, unlike say...all around fecal stain of a human being Andrew Jackson... (who ironically was a great general and utterly horrible president) Yes, I like him. |

Of course the person who fired it should be charged, he committed fucking manslaughter, how is this even a question? I don't care if he knew that gravity exists or not, fuck him. If anything, charge him more harshly if he's so dangerously stupid that he thinks the bullet doesn't come back down! TheCyborgNinja posted... Zeus posted...Oh, had I read that I would have done "yes and should be charged." The fuck is wrong with both of you? The only reason you'd charge the guy who shot is because it's against the law to shoot a weapon in city limits, but the fact HE FUCKING KILLED SOMEONE isn't enough reason?! |

| streamofthesky 07/09/17 8:42:19 PM #19 | Where are these "attractive" female characters, then? Only one I've seen in all the previews is Aunt May. Just saw a trailer for the Spider-Man movie before watch Wonder Woman, and I was face palming constantly. Looks exactly like the Tobey series of movies, in all the worst ways. Will we ever get a movie Spider-Man who isn't a dumbass high school doofus that reveals his identity to everyone he possibly can? I want my confident, snarky, intelligent college-age/adult Spider-Man, damn it! MICHALCOLE posted... Nobody bitching about aunt may not being an old ass lady or the vulture having a different backstory but minor character flash Thompson is made by sjws Ok, this as good a place as any to ask, it's been bugging me since I saw Civil War and the new Spidey and Aunt May were unveiled... Why is Aunt May not being an "old ass lady" a problem? She's Peter's Aunt, ie the sister of one of his parents. Peter's in high school, so 15-18 years old. If his parents gave birth at the statistical average age* then if still alive they'd be in their early to mid 40's. Any sibling of either of them would likely be +/- a few years from that, so anywhere from late 30's to late 40's or early 50's. The actress playing Aunt May is 52 I think, if anything they veered a bit far to the older side. WHY IS THIS A PROBLEM? If anything, Aunt may looking like an elderly grandmother is the aberration, and this portrayal is the most realistic version of Aunt May we've ever had! Am I the only Spider-Man fan capable of basic arithmetic? *In fact, that age has increased over the past several decades. When Spider-Man comics first came out, Aunt May being so old would've been even more of an anomaly. |

Abominable law that's blatantly in violation of federal law and will easily be destroyed in court once challenged, hopefully soon. Mead posted... SushiSquid posted...A step towards equality would be if a man could legally sign away his responsibility if the woman does not get an abortion. I would be just fine with that It can never be true equality, 100% the same. Because only the woman gets to decide if the baby is born or if the fetus is aborted. Instead, you get the closest proximity to equality possible with such a restriction. Man wants baby, woman does not: Fetus is aborted, sorry dude. Man doesn't want baby, woman does: Baby is born, but man has no obligations to provide or care for it The man still has less rights than the woman, but it's a hell of a lot closer to equality than what we have now. |

Whether I agree with what he did or not, it doesn't seem like something worth being considered a "strike" against him. Plus, when you call them "strikes", you pretty much set the expectation that it takes 3 to terminate you. TyVulpine posted... The woman was screaming that the guy was kidnapping her child, what would you do? Nothing? What if it was a real kidnapping and police later find the kid's body dumped in the woods somewhere? Probably nothing, yeah. Unfortunately, as in this case, too many women will use the societal bias that sees them as more sympathetic than men and more likely to be a victim to distort the facts and cry wolf to get negative attention thrust upon a man the woman is feuding with or doesn't like. They ruin it for the actual victims, but I'd feel pretty bad harassing an innocent man because I just assumed the crying female is being honest. And society has also repeatedly demonstrated that it will punish good deeds. Take this case or any other case where an employee tries to physically stop a shoplifter and is fired for it. I read a week or two ago about some poor guy who found a little girl all alone at a park and went around with her asking people if she was their kid. The dad who was off playing baseball while she was unattended heard about it and assaulted the guy and had his friends/relatives put up his picture and info on the internet and labeled him a pedo, leading to the guy getting death threats and having to leave town. So yeah, fuck it. Just don't help (especially anything involving kids if you're an adult male...just stay the hell away and don't get involved). |

| streamofthesky 07/06/17 10:02:23 PM #48 | Blighboy posted... Much as Germany sucks, I don't think it's fair to blame them for WW I. And while I know you mean the "3rd time" to be them opening up Europe's borders for "refugees," that's a small item compared to their evil with the Euro and the central bank, whereby Germany is literally profiting off of the poverty, starvation, and misery of the southern European countries*. *Short version: If Greece, Spain, etc... had their own currencies and were in a depression, the value of their currency would fall compared to others (and they could speed up the process by printing money) and their exports would become more competitive, thus letting them get out of the depression. Instead, they're anchored to the Euro with no control over it, where the prosperous northern/central European countries keep the Euro's value steady. On the other hand, having impoverished countries sharing the same currency keeps the Euro from becoming too expensive and hurting Germany's exports (hence why they can balance being so prosperous and yet have such a great export/import ratio for years with no sort of shift that ends the run). |

| streamofthesky 07/05/17 5:56:29 PM #31 | Ok, some facts... I figure this will serve as an oasis in the desert of Erik and ICOYAR sniping at each other. 1. He was captured in battle after allegedly throwing a grenade that killed one American soldier and injured another. I don't think it's fair to say he's a "terrorist" anymore than it is to label any enemy combatant a terrorist. It was a battle. People fought each other directly, and some died. That's war. 2. He was only 15 at the time and was subjected to sleep deprivation, so his confession was under duress and wouldn't hold up in a real court. 3. All that said, seems like a bad case for liberals to take up since he probably was guilty anyway and the headlines generated from this will badly hurt them (but again, even if he did kill a soldier, I don't see how he's a "terrorist" vs. an enemy combatant) 4. It was a court that made the decision, not Trudeau, so the topic title is pure inflammatory BULL SHIT. |
| Topic | Why do i have to roll a 20 AGAIN to confirm a critical? |
| streamofthesky 07/05/17 5:45:06 PM #28 | The benefit of a natural 20 is automatically hitting, no matter the AC of the target. It can also lead to a critical hit, but you have to confirm it (hit their AC again, doesn't have to be another 20). This is a GOOD thing. It makes critical hits less common (note with some weapons and feats you can easily get the critical hit range down to a 15-20 on a d20, not every attack only threatens a crit on a 20), and less randomness is better for players. Because criticals are very devastating (some are even 3x or 4x as powerful as a normal hit), and just by sheer probability, player characters are going to be crit. A lot. Non-player character enemies "exist" for one combat. Player Characters are there for EVERY combat. Countless attacks will be made against them, you really don't want a significantly high chance that any given one can kill them by sheer dumb luck. |

Well, up to now I think people mostly felt sorry for them. True, that's probably rapidly changing as they firmly establish themselves as asshole victims. "Freedom Works dumped a ton of chemicals into our river and made it unsafe to drink for weeks, just a few years ago? I'm gonna support Trump to allow more dumping in rivers! Down with these damn burdensome regulations!" ...Shit like that will get people to hate you pretty fast. |
