This happens more tenfold with individual topics

That's what I like about these topics. My complaint is that a bunch of unrelated assholes are bringing in drama that's unrelated to the main topic, or serves to further a bunch of old drama from the General, instead of talking about the user or their warning, suspension or ban.

Actually to be fair, another purpose of the general was to understand where the arbitrary lines are.

If someone posts something questionable, you wait to see their fate in the general.

That does sound like fun. I wasn't a fan of the general, but I love when that happens. Some of the best "[user] is MODDED" threads were the ones that inspired another user to melt down, at which someone else would create the same sort of thread for them. People would move from the first thread to laugh about the second user in their thread. Shit was amazing.

I can respect that aspect of the general, I guess.

It was bad when people like TC wanted to regulate what these kind of topics should be about.

I want the topic to stem from the user in the title and evolve from there, not for a bunch of people to circlejerk about unrelated drama from the General. It's like if five or six assholes went into a sports thread and started slinging shit about what the best cereal was, only for another five or six people to come in and put those people down in favor of their favorite cereal.

Maybe not the best example, because that troll would be fucking incredible and I think everyone would love it. But you get what I mean - a bunch of unrelated shit getting in the way of the topic of conversation. A bunch of General clique BS overwriting everyone else's discussion of what happened.

Another point I tried to make in my earlier posts. If people want to act up like they did in the General, to the homogenisation and detriment to these individual threads, then they might as well make a social board dedicated to it. I'd rather people just gate it off and jerk each other around instead of fucking with a gimmick I used to think was great fun.

I dunno why TC is so mad for. These individual topics are 100x better. It's free for everyone to post and not made for people only thinks they're worthy for it. Don't tell me that's your problem, TC.

I absolutely think that everyone should be able to post in a thread like that instead of keeping it confined to the folks who run the general. My big point of contention is that the General crowd are flooding these individual threads and making them General Lite threads, to the point that the mods might as well kept the generals open or shut down the individual threads. It kills the mood of what these threads used to be, because the same people keep coming back to engage with drama from the General instead of goofing around in regards to the moderated user.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

When the generals were around, I feel like it was the same cliques shit talking about every moderation. Other people weren't as familiar with the environment that sprang up in the general, so most people let it be while the truly invested posted there.

The individual threads were originally for whoever was around at the time, and while a little disruptive maybe, were a good opportunity to get some good-natured clowning in with other users. You make the thread, you goof on it and it goes away when nobody cares any more. Now it feels like users are way too invested in their own petty drama rather than commenting on the moderations. That's the crux of my original point.

I just woke up, so I'll have to check the threads again and chill. After I go through the rest of this thread of course.

IIRC, the warned general came into creation, because everyone would rush to create a topic when a notorious poster got modded. It wasn't uncommon to see several topics dedicated to how X got warned/suspended/banned on CE.

That was the best, though. I might be getting this mixed up with the "do you like [user]" polls, but I remember Franklin got suspended and Hoth went apeshit in the thread about it.

It's like I said in my OP here. These threads used to feel like you were responding to the news of the day. You see some dipshit clowning on the board, you hop off for an hour or two, and when you get back on CE you find the topic saying he was suspended. Then you get to have a laugh and do a bit of clowning, and you move on with your day.

When more notorious posters got busted, those topics had a field day - it was madness. When it came to CE drama, those topics were solid fucking gold. Now it's being driven into the ground by the crew who manned the general.

It's threads for absolute nobodies - which threads were they clowning, what were they modded for? Everyone just acts obtuse about it. And the notable users, like NinjaBreakfast - it's 100+ pages of shit, including my own jabby posts. What the fuck happened to these threads?

---

Now Playing: Borderlands 2, Skyrim, Assassin's Creed

If the threads don't offer anything of substance, why keep them? I doubt the mod staff want to sift through hundreds of posts in these threads to punish individual users, when the root problem is the amount of threads being created and the lack of topicality being applied.

I wanted to give these threads a chance, but if they're all going to be the same flavor of shit, then why even keep them? At this point, the general crowd should just make a community board for this stuff.

I get that there's a group who's known for doing the generals, and they're mostly posting these individual threads. That's kind of their thing - sure, no hate.

But the last few threads have been nothing but a series of escalating shitshows. Users attacking each other, the same clique shit that got the general threads banned. Veggeta got a warning and refused to even hint at the reason for his warning, then he's over in some other thread talking shit about why someone else got suspended. Then people called him out for it, name calling ensued and the thread became a pile of infighting and petty drama.

Petty drama is baked into the warned/suspended threads, but not to the point where completely unrelated groups of users band together to talk shit on each other and ignore the topic of the thread. We've got a thread with 70+ posts and a thread with 100+ posts, and most of it is a bunch of pissy jabs and wet noodle slapping instead of anything to do with the moderations. Meltdowns in those threads have been great in the past, but not when everyone in the fucking thread is melting down.

Whose idea was it to make the warned/suspended general, anyway? Because that fucked everything up. Each new thread attracts the crowd from the general, and they piss all over everything with the same behavior that got the general banned. These threads used to feel spontaneous, where people could have a laugh at the news of the day. Now we've got the same handful of shitposters who want to circlejerk all the time, and a second handful of slightly different shitposters who butt heads with the circlejerkers.

Frankly, if this is how the warned/suspended threads are going to be from now on - the general, but broken up into multiple concurrent threads - I think I'd rather them just get nuked. The way they are now, they're just pathetic. The potential is there, but the same toxic users sink them every time. What a fucking bummer.

I posted a bunch of Nelson Eggs comics in a webcomic thread recently, and it reminded me of why I like the comic so much anyway. A big part of why I got into That's Nelson Eggs is because it's relatively small and unknown, but it's so offbeat and funny - it deserves to be shared with other people. I intended to share it with other people and get it more buzz.

So I decided to make a CE thread for the comic. I'll be updating the thread every time I see a new That's Nelson Eggs comic.

If you enjoy the comic, here's where to find it:

Facebook: https://m.facebook.com/thatsnelsoneggs/
Site: http://fortunecookie.delivery/nelsoneggs.htm
Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thatsnelsoneggs

I urge you to follow the comic on social media if you enjoy the thread. I have a genuine love for this webcomic, it's really special to me. If I can get this guy any more support than he already has, I'll be happy.

With that said - welcome to the daily That's Nelson Eggs thread! The artist is DrTweenusGonzo, and it updates daily.

that sounds really neato! I feel like ultimately it's up to the individual to define where their faith begins and ends, and how they define different articles of their holy books or traditions according to how they feel they should serve their God.
that group you described sounds a lot like a realisation of that idea, which is pretty awesome. It's also why I'm vehemently against megachurches and stuff like that - faith can be practiced with a candle and a blank wall if need be, all that LCD flatscreen shit and heated pews makes a mockery of that. Let's just get spoonfed a bunch of fundie nonsense by Pastor Bob.

My least favorite argument is "well, how would you feel if your mother aborted you?" If my birth was going to destroy her future and result in her resentment of my existence, or if my birth would result in a lifetime of abject poverty and no opportunities to rise above that poverty for me or any of my family, or if my birth offered a significant risk to her life? Then fuck it, I have no idea what it means to be alive yet and my life outside of the womb will result in pain for myself and everyone around me. I would rather be aborted than be unwanted, or to ruin other people's lives. I'd rather be nipped in the bud than have a shitty, unsustainable life, and to foist that fate onto other people. I wouldn't know any better, and everyone's lives would be better off. I wouldn't go to heaven or hell, because the soul doesn't exist. The hardships that result from my birth would cease to be.

So, TL;DR - it's too nuanced of a topic to say whether abortion as a whole is murder, but I don't think murder is wholly out of the picture. Saying that, there are a lot of legitimate reasons for an abortion to take place, and it's important to read the situation before making a sweeping, objective judgement on the topic.

Now Playing: Borderlands 2, Skyrim, Assassin's Creed

I think it depends on the circumstances of the pregnancy. There are so many nuances that alarmists push out of the way to shout "it's killing babies!", and like Jaipur said, heartbeat bills are fuelled by that mindset and influence a close-minded and reductive view on the topic.

My take on abortion is this - if the child is going to be born in an environment where they aren't wanted, safe or cared for to the fullest extent of their parent's capabilities, there's a case for abortion. If the parents can't financially handle a baby to the point of poverty or homelessness, or if the pregnancy is unwanted because it'll tether the mother to an abuser, or because the child is unwanted to the point that its parents would resent it for existing - abortion is a better choice than ruining the lives of everyone involved. And it goes without saying that if the child is a product of rape or if the pregnancy has a chance of killing or severely disabling them, a pregnant woman shouldn't be forced to carry the child to term.

The big backlash against abortion is the death of potential. Who knows what that baby would have accomplished if it had been born, how can we justify destroying a precious unborn soul before it has a chance to breathe, etc. - all that flowery rhetoric about how amazing and pure childbirth is. But those same people don't give a fuck about the parents, whose lives are going to be significantly affected by this child. There's no sympathy for a single woman who works 12 hour days just to keep herself afloat, and who won't be able to work those long hours if she has a child. There's never any talk about whether a child should be born into a family where its parents will hate it, who clearly aren't able to take care of a child's physical or emotional needs through their own negligence, lack of capacity or emotional shortcomings that would render that child's life difficult at best, and forfeit at worst.

For those people, the narrative is "well they shouldn't have had sex then!" or "but does that mean the life of a child should be ended before it has a chance to begin?" It's sad that a potential life might never be able to come to fruition, but when it's going to be born into a shithole existence that renders its chances null and void, it's ultimately better for it not to be born. If that child's existence dooms both it and its family to a life of borderline inescapable poverty, or results in a life of being unloved, neglected or abused, then it might just be good for everyone involved for that pregnancy to be aborted.

It's one thing to admonish someone for not even trying to raise a child with the means afforded to them, it's another to see a single mother or unfit couple whose quality of life will suffer - as well as the life of their baby - who recognises that everyone in that equation is going to lose, and force them through childbirth and parenthood because "it's the right thing to do". Yeah, ruining multiple people's futures is a much better solution than preventing a child from being born in an environment where the chips are stacked against them.

The go-to rhetoric of the most militant pro-lifers is that abortion encourages irresponsible sexual behaviour because women will just go and get an abortion instead of using protection - but it's just as irresponsible to push someone into an unsustainable pregnancy, where you're ruining up to three people's lives for the sake of a moral victory.

Then there's rape and death.

A woman who's raped should not be forced to carry her rapist's baby to full term. That's not confined to the sort of sexual violence that comes to mind when the topic of rape comes up - it applies to statutory rape, rape by deception (removing a condom without a partner's consent, lying about being sterile, pretending to be someone you're not etc.) or any other non-consensual activities that result in pregnancy.

If a pregnant woman is involved in an accident that renders them severely paralyzed or brain-dead, they shouldn't be kept alive as incubators for their children. If they're on death's door and you can save the baby, or if they indicate that the life of their baby is paramount over their own, that's one thing. It's another thing to keep a woman on life support against her will for months to deliver her baby. That's what happened with Marlisa Munoz - she told her husband that to be kept alive beyond the means of her natural life would be like torture to her, but when she was involved in an incident that rendered her brain-dead, Texas laws kept her alive for 62 days against the wishes of her family because of her pregnancy. She was 3 months pregnant at the time, which meant that over half of her pregnancy would have occurred with the mother being brain-dead.

https://www.texastribune.org/2014/01/13/north-texas-tragedy-stirs-political-debate-life-is/

If you disagree with the "poor homelife" moralising, then I disagree but I'm not surprised. While I feel very strongly about it, I'm aware that my take isn't going to be agreed upon by everyone. But in regards to children by rape or to brain-dead mothers who are kept alive for the sole purpose of delivering unborn children, I expect most people to agree that forcing those pregnancies are fucked up.

Adoption is an option, but a lot of kids end up in the foster system where they're at risk of being trafficked or abused. Adoption websites talk the talk in regards to helping pregnant women with living expenses and the like if they're putting their children up for adoption, but if there's no demand for a soon-to-be-born child, I doubt an adoption agency is going to put every pregnant woman up for the duration of their pregnancy. Adoption is also costly for American couples, which is why a lot of people adopt from other countries - it's much easier and cheaper than going through the American adoption process, which puts more of these kids into the foster system, which makes them vulnerable to trafficking and other abuse. Pregnancy is also very taxing on the human body, and even a healthy and willing pregnancy can result in irreparable damage to the body in some cases. It's even worse when a woman knows for a fact that giving birth will permanently damage their bodily functions or threaten their lives, and that aborting a child - willingly or reluctantly - will prevent this from happening. To force women to roll those dice on an unwanted pregnancy, especially when death or permanent injury is a factor, is cruel.

There will be cases where a woman will be fine with a pregnancy for months, but freak out when shit starts getting real. In regards to trimesters, I definitely think that the more developed a fetus gets, the less ethic

Fuck megachurches. They pushed this vulnerable couple to accept donations out of hope of bringing their daughter back to life, probably to go to the church. It's greed, plain and simple.

They want heated pews and flatscreen TVs, and they want cash infusions of tens of thousands of dollars from the faithful. They're as far from God as you can physically get. Any huckster prick running one of them is probably going to go to hell, especially the scumbag who encouraged this behavior.

I mean, the US pretty much only went to war in the Pacific anyway.

Something to remember is that before all the genocide stuff came out, and before Germany was conquering countries, people like Winston Churchill were praising Hitler's tenacity and his work in fixing the economy. I think Churchill even said something like "I could only hope that a man like Hitler were to step up in a time of crisis" before World War II even began.

I mention all of this as a preface for my comment on Donald Trump:

"I met that Hitler guy, y'know, big fan! Huge economy, really, just the best economy. Have you seen a German stadium? Best in the world. We could learn a lesson from the Nazis, use it to make America great!"

Then when the war breaks out, Donald Trump makes a point to defend Hitler at every turn and keep as many trade channels open while Germany invades Poland and France.

I kept an update thread for my homebrew beer as it brewed. It's been a few weeks since I bottled my beer, and I finally got to taste the final product on Australia Day.

It's not as fizzy as regular beer? Like a longneck of beer is usually so fizzy it hurts my mouth as I drink it. My beer has more of a soda-like carbonation.

Out of my 23 litre batch of beer, I managed to get 28 longnecks of beer. Accounting for carbonation drops, each batch of beer would produce $300+ of beer for every $30 of ingredients. It tastes just like a Cooper's beer, just.lile the homebrew I had up at my nan and pop's place.



I just got home after drinking cider for 4 hours, and I cracked open a homebrew to get me where I want to go. Probably about to go to bed, since this beer is very heavy and makes me feel sleepy.

lol if that happens. I remember seeing a thread on the Muffin subreddit that said

Nobody is forcing you to come here. You lurk here 24/7 with the sole purpose of shutting down our independent community. As much as you wish "talking about people" equated to harassment, it doesn't hold a candle to your constant stalking and antagonizing of us when nobody is requiring you to post or visit here." Frankly, people will certainly ask what rules he broke. My answer is this - when Dawkins threatened legal action and/or threatened to DDoS Gamefaqs, was that anywhere in the rules? Quite frankly, I don't think it was.

Such as Goats' gradual decline into Dawkins Jr., his continued attempts and flat admissions of attempting to shut us down are being handled in a similar manner to how Dawkins was handled on gamefaqs. We have a nice, thriving community here and we intend to keep it that way. If you suspect an alternate account to be Goats, then please alert myself or Glitteringfairy to attention so that we may report him for circumventing reddit bans.

Goatthief is getting worse as a user, but he isn't yet the kind of persistent shit stain glued to the back of the toilet that Muffin and his crony friends are. Imagine being muffinz and thinking you're better than anyone on here. Christ, the delusion is real.
