That thread is one of the funniest fucking things I have ever read. Feel bad for the person if he's real though. He definitely has some kind of mental issue if he wasn't trolling.

Yes and no. The idea of promoting people to speak out and be publicly accepted is good. The idea of promoting people to speak out and instantly casting judgement on those accused without even taking ten seconds to look at the facts of the accusations is not. The problem has been people have been doing much more of the latter than the former.

Sure, I'd still make bank on doing interviews for the simple fact of buying such an expensive apple. Then I can probably sell the apple for at least a few million even if it doesn't retain its value.

I feel like such a piece of shit because this article is totally cracking me up even though it's technically tragic.

Those who shout the loudest are usually hiding something or trying to compensate for something.

How the fuck is a "? Block" falling for the most obvious trolling imaginable?

I said he's fake in my first post. It's sometimes fun to engage with people even if they're trolling. His problem is that he's going too far with the last one I replied to.

There is nothing inherently wrong with painting your face black. We really need to get off the idea that donning facepaint is an inherent mockery. Some drunk frat kind smearing makeup on their face is not inherently racist. It can certainly be in quite poor taste as shown by some of the examples in recent history, but poor taste is not racist. To be racist, it needs to purposely be a mockery or be so ignorant that it ends up as one unintentionally. If someone took the time to do a proper makeup session like say Tropical Thunder (obviously ignoring the context of that character's role for the sake of this argument), then there is nothing wrong with it.

Do you think it's possible to prevent 100% of deaths? I'm sure we can reduce the number quite a bit with certain actions, but it will never be 0%. There will always be just and unjust deaths caused by the police.

If we take guns away from the cops, we can prevent the vast majority of police killings. Whether it prevents 100% of them or not is a strawman, don't let perfect be the enemy of good

That's a bad gimmick.

It's just a couple thousand per year accounting for all races. That is not a lot of people. It would be best if the number could be reduced to zero, but we're talking about such a small fraction of the population that nobody should need to worry about randomly being shot by a cop. Avocation for higher police accountability is certainly a good thing, but they aren't really a giant problem either.

1 person being unjustly murdered is a tragedy. How in the hell are you saying a couple thousand isn't a lot?

Because statistically it's going to happen no matter what safety nets are in place. When you're dealing with human to human interaction, it is an inevitability. Any action that can potentially reduce that number is certainly a good thing, but it helps nothing if we have all these "cops are gunning down black people" nutjobs going around. Cops kill people of all races justly and unjustly. It's not just a black problem. It's a problem of human error and/or police corruption in general depending on the case. You can reduce the latter, but there is no way at all to stop the former.

Anyone who calls the cops on a black kid in America should be tried for attempted murder

So let black kids get away with absolutely anything?

No, just don't call the cops on them

So if a 15 year old kid is walking around with a gun its best to ignore him and hope the situation resolves itself peacefully?

Pretty much, otherwise the kid would get shot.

Look what happened to Tamir Rice. He wasn't hurting anyone with his toy gun, and yet someone called the cops on him and he was gunned down

You're obviously fake, but why do people act like people are being killed in droves? It's just a couple thousand per year accounting for all races. That is not a lot of people. It would be best if the number could be reduced to zero, but we're talking about such a small fraction of the population that nobody should need to worry about randomly being shot by a cop.

I hate people who jump on this as a race issue. What if he actually vigorously grabbed her ass in a sexual manner? Just because he's young doesn't mean he isn't capable of doing something like that, even if he doesn't understand what it means. She could also just be totally insane because he lightly brushed by her., but her being insane is not instantly indicative of her being a racist. She could just be a giant racist wanting to get the kid in trouble. I don't know why people mock the idea of waiting for all the facts because it's a good damn idea to wait for all the facts

Assuming it has a way to refuel and restock and it is not limited by lifespan, I'm sure there is enough ammo on earth to take care of them over a few thousand years.

It could probably get done in 10 years or less given that when not reloading/refilling it's killing.

It would probably depend where this is taking place and how far to safety. It may have to really balance its killing if it needs to travel dozens or hundreds of miles to get what it needs. Then it will probably need to leave for a time to gather supplies from other countries as it clears out military bases. If it has access to just billions of bullets nearby, then yes, it can just constantly slaughter, refill, slaughter, repeat.

I'd like to hope. I want to live as long as possible. Honestly, as long as my body isn't destroyed, definitely going for being frozen after death as opposed to being cremated as long as it's affordable by the time I'm about to die.

Sure, as long as no STDs. I'd easily fuck anyone who will no cause me permanent repercussions for that much money.

Why do people get turned on by feet, anthropomorphic mailboxes, or the number three? The human brain is very weird.

They're so pointless overall. I don't mind having something in-game that's basically just an in-depth completion checklist, but it's just pointless peacocking beyond that.

Replace black with white and ask if its racist. If people say yes then, black excellence is also racist

That's sort of backwards. There's nothing wrong with the idea of "white pride" or "black pride" (beyond how some groups might use the word pride), so people saying "white excellence" is racist would not make "black excellence" racist. It means the people claiming "white excellence is racist" are the actual racists.

Unless there is some other context to this term I'm not seeing.

I would assume it's just like "hooray, black people"? Nothing wrong with that unless the message has somehow been twisted into something like black supremacy.

You can just feel their stupidity from every god damn word. There is just logic in them at all.

Difficult, but not impossible. I understand it might be a pain, but they really should be reinforcing the idea of everyone obtaining identification anyway. And people who are interested in voting should know this is a possibility and thus be working on obtaining it. With voting cycles being far apart, there is plenty of time to get it sorted out. The only valid excuse is if they are 100+ miles from anywhere that could do it, but I'd have to imagine that is not the problem affecting the bulk of black people. It feels like we're mostly just letting laziness take hold, unless there are more specific statistics showing distance is the most prevalent issue.

https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/05/15/528457693/supreme-court-declines-republican-bid-to-revive-north-carolina-voter-id-law

What about it? I have no doubt there are people using laws to try to sway the voting. They're going to do that whenever and wherever they can. The question is if it's actually that big of a deal to get an ID. I want to know if there is some factor that is making it nearly impossible for so many people, or if it's just a cultural attitude that puts no importance on obtaining one. Is it that everyone is just crying racism and letting the status quo remain instead of enticing people to obtain them, or is it that it is really that hard for them?

It's also a big problem for old people. I can understand why that could be. I don't necessarily understand it for black people at least to the extent that it is happening.

Is getting a non-license ID some kind of major hurdle or something? Why is this an issue? Why is it a bad thing to want to identify people?

Because generally the voter ID laws are combined with a push to make it harder for certain groups to obtain the right ID.

If you want Voter ID laws so bad, you also have to make it easy for anyone to get the ID.

In what way is it so hard to get an ID? Generally, shouldn't it be social/birth certificate/etc, fill out a form, pay a small fee, and then you're off to the races? What barriers are they facing that has to do with race?

SSN isn't an actual ID despite it's use as one.

People can lose their birth certificates due to no fault of their own. Like their parents losing it on them. It's also not an easy process to get a replacement either.

But ultimately voter ID laws are struck down, because the voter id bills target IDs that certain groups generally use and not allowing them and shutting down DMVs in areas of those groups to force them to have to make a huge trip to a DMV to get a correct ID.

How did he die from rubber bullets? Did they hit a vital spot or do they cause a ton of internal bleeding?

It's not really a bad cause at all, in the same way that mild feminism is fine. The underlying tenants are good, but it's just marred by the extremists who blame every ill of the world on women in the same way extremist feminists blame them on men.

Nah, really couldn't care less. Hillary, Trump, Bernie, Ronald McDonald, or my left shoe, it's all going to be the same bullshit with one side saying the other is ruining the country. Then when it shifts to the other party, it will still be the same shit once again. There is no point. It's all just a silly game.

Small populations can easily work together to help sustain one another.. That's not a new thing. That is literally much of the last 4000 years. The problem is now that the grand majority of the world no longer lives in such a way, and trying to force people into the living standards of some 1100's farmer is not going to work.

Probably, as long as I can figure out a painless injection method. I'd still feel like shit for doing it, but I'd be fine as long as it's not beating them to death.

Holy shit, that looks like a giant pain in the ass. They just need to make it so they cannot be anywhere near residential areas. All of the ones in my area are on mountaintops. If it's flatland, just build them farther away.

I guess it depends how much is physical work and how much is tactical work/team work/etc. There should be no issue on the tactical part on men vs women, but it's more of a "men's job" if there is a high physical element requiring core body strength and physical strength. Very few women are going to pass that bar unless they're bulky as hell.

White woman calls police on black guy babysitting two white children.

"YOU DONT KNOW THAT RACE WAS A FACTOR"

ok

What from that sentence determines race was a factor? Why is being black instantly the reason someone will call the police? Could it not be that it's because he's a man? Could it not be because of some suspicions action? It could be, and most likely was his skin color in this case, but it's not 100% certain unless it came out of that lady's mouth. I'm not saying racist people don't call the police on black people for simply being black, and I'm not saying this woman isn't a racist. I'm saying it's disingenuous as fuck to base every single article title on a person's race before facts are even out. The news these days is all about "oppression", even when it's not actually related to a characteristic like that.

What made her suspect foul play then? Its not disingenuous when you can infer obvious reasons and burying your head in the sand wont change anything.

I don't know. I'm not in the woman's head. I don't know her thoughts. We just need to be objective about things. It would be perfectly fine to include the statements that the people involved think it was about race, but his race does not need to be in the title of the article without proof. We're in this phase of "bad thing happens to a minority, so it's obviously because they're a minority" and everyone just runs with it. Racism should be pointed out and condemned when there is proof of racism. It should not be assumed because the victim of the inconvenience/crime is a minority. This is the kind of shit that fuels the racial divide.

Yes, because 99% of the time you're going to be correct. The majority of potential mistakes would be really androgynous people or transgender people, and it's easy enough acknowledge the error and correct it. The only time I wouldn't care is if they flipped out and had some kind of "transtrender" attitude about it, but those people really don't seem to exist in reality.

I hate how they have to insert race into this. Like, most likely it's racially motivated, but unless that is known for absolute certainty, there is no reason to point it out. Just race baiting headlines at their finest.

Nevermind, I did not go far enough into the article. Definitely racially motivated, so fair in this case.

Maybe you should try to do better next time instead of shitposting by default

Is it really shitposting when in the grand majority of these cases nothing but race baiting? And watching the video, it looks like it's never explicitly said that the woman claimed his race was suspicious. They just make that inference. While I agree that inference is most likely true, the article's point is sleazy. All they want are the clicks. At the very least, they didn't use white woman in the title.

Like hell I'd ever want to be repeatedly punched in the face or stomach. If you're not doing actual boxing in a place like that, it wouldn't be particularly better than a regular gym.

Can reservations not have an address? Is it literally impossible?

The most confusing thing about this whole thing is some people conflating all aspects the allegations and the nomination. Like, every time you say "the evidence is insufficient, someone will say "but, based on X-reason, he shouldn't be accepted anyway." There should be no "but" there. Whether he's qualified or not outside of the accusations has nothing to do with the accusations. Someone can think he's not guilty but still think we wasn't qualified. It's like all they wanted to do was reason that he wasn't qualified and didn't actually care about the accusations.

No. Anyone who says that has no idea how cloning works in real life. Now, if he starts trying to create an uprising to kill Jews, sure. And even if super science could bring someone back to life, it would be unethical to do that just to make them suffer.

Yes, angry bitter incels would actually have an outlet then

Incels wants sex from a girlfriend, not random women; otherwise, they would have turned to prostitutes.

Honestly, I'm sure many more of them would do it if it wasn't illegal in 98% of the country. Only being legal in one state for likely very premium prices doesn't make for ease of access. Only people in that state and on the nearby borders would have ready access.

Why do these people need to post this shit on a public forum? Keep it to your private conversations. That would be a perfectly acceptable in-joke.

Yes, make it as safe as possible. Mandatory STD testing for workers, probably customers as well assuming they have quick, anonymous STD checks available. Regular check ups to make sure they aren't being exploited. It would allow for the people on the streets who aren't junkies to make an honest living without worrying for their safety. Only reason we don't is because America is so prudish about sex.

The boards look a bit basic, like they're all designed for really short games. Some of the really large ones from the past were more fun for how crazy they can get. I would say the "games as a service" mentality is also ranking it down a little. Not every game needs to have weekly rotation or free updates that probably could have been included in the base game if they wanted. They shouldn't plan on free updates from the get go, get a full experience out and then think of things that would be beneficial to add.

It can be helpful in the case of "here is my story, hope this encourages other people to bring forward their stories and then get evidence for a conviction." What's not helpful is "here are uncorroborated he-said, she said stories, let's let the court of public opinion throw the book at them."

I feel like it could just be an innocent mistake, but the whole "thought it was a burned guy" reasoning makes that seem unlikely. I'd like to know if this is some kind of handcraft thing they bought, or if it's a retail store item.

It has been long enough that it's a non-issue. The violent acts of the settlers should never be viewed in a positive light, but it's ancient history in terms of the people living today. The past eventually has to be viewed as the past.

Eh, by no means ugly, but not that great.
