Maybe I'd feel differently if I actually had any interest in the NFL or sports in general, but it's crazy how a fucking draft is such a big deal. I work downtown, and so many of the roads are closed or heavily restricted that it's now a pain to commute in and out of the downtown area. Unfortunately, my job is one where I don't get to work remotely (I need to be onsite or near my assigned site to assist the PCs of the employees who are working remotely), so I have to come down here all week.I avidly follow the NFL and would be pissed if the draft was in my city, too. --- PotD's resident Film Expert. |

Because you have to remember that these people are really, deeply mentally unwell. I recall it took no time at all back in the day for people to call Tails and others of his ilk, SMAL, etc. mentally unhinged. It took little interaction to see it wasn't just trolling, that something was wrong with these people. And we were right. Stuff like this is add it to the pile, it was long ago proven that Tails and the like are OBSESSED with this place and clearly mentally unwell in real life. Like, medication and therapy needed. There's been loads of research and scientific papers published over the years that show people like this, across any forum/social media platform do indeed end up having actual mental conditions IRL, are IRL criminals, or combinations thereof. So, when you encounter people like Tails online, you can indeed assume something really is wrong with them. Not that you need science to prove that someone that spends all their time being racist, bigoted, and obsessing over 1 message board on a dying website has a few screws loose. --- PotD's resident Film Expert. |

How do you feel about Brock Purdy, QB in the most profitable league in the country only making a few hundred thousand a year?Who gives a shit what I think? This is a failed gotcha wrapped in a moving the goalposts all at once, and has nothing to do with the fact that there's no controversy on WNBA vs NBA pay. It's virtue signaling and arguing in bad taste. Mizznox posted... ... this is an asinine attempt at a gotcha, lol. There are no "excuses" needed to understand an end-of-the-draft rookie signing a multi-year minimum-salary contract (which will give him just over $1M next season, not "a few hundred thousand" - minimum for a rookie is now $750k).Yeah, not sure what his point even is. Rookie deals are rookie deals for a reason. He's the last pick of the draft which 99% of the time never amounts to anything. He'll get a multi-million dollar deal soon enough.

You can think she could be paid more relative to her sport without literally thinking her pay should be anywhere near an NBA players. While revenue was $200M, the year before that it was just $60M. To pay her the same as the #1 rookie from the NBA would literally bankrupt the WNBA on the spot. It's a simple numbers game, this shit ain't hard.

Overall, the main feedback weve received is that the decision to lock the Current Events board and generally prohibit explicitly political topics elsewhere is unpopular amongst a large percentage of commenters. I dont want to duck or run from that takeaway - this is something Fandom discussed and anticipated before making these changes. Ultimately, we will be standing by this decision because doing so aligns with how we operate other parts of our platform, and how we want GameFAQs to be positioned in broad gaming discourse.lol "We knew this would be unpopular and everyone would bitch, but we made up our minds anyways." So why even the facade of the feedback? Even if they were never going to change, you don't, you know, come out and admit it. lol who hired these guys? --- PotD's resident Film Expert. |

That brings up the question that if Jan 6 happened again, are we not allowed to talk about it? Cuz that was definitely a event to talk aboutI could see one arguing that discussing something on the news isn't in of itself political, which obviously puts the onus on the mods to evenly apply what is "political". The one mod's example that discussing politics in a video game itself won't be a violation. For example, apparently Spider-Man 2 mentions Black Lives Matters, so discussing that within the game isn't "political." I'm sure this won't at all lead to mass confusion and wildly uneven application of the ruling at all. --- PotD's resident Film Expert. |

CyborgSage00x0 04/15/24 1:29:31 PM #200 | My prior snarky post aside, for real, why not revive 261 and just give it the same constraints? High karma limit to join it, and/or private, Purg leads to being banned forever? It's what 261 members wanted for forever, and plenty of CE posters don't care so much about politics talk.
Killing 261 was always dumb. It kept the bulk of political discussions in a box for the site, and users wanted simply a harder barrier to entry to combat the trolls. Deleting it opened that box and allowed it to scatter to the other boards, where it naturally started to take root. So why not just bring it back and impose these strict limits?

Well yea the whole idea of the shut down was stupid. People were still working, the lucky people who were out of work weren't staying home, they were all swarming the places still open. All the shut down accomplished was shoving more people into less places. If Trump had stuck to his guns and fought back against the fear mongers I'd have given him credit at this point, but he didn't he went along with the stupid shut down.lol. You got it ass backwards, laddie. It was because of the half-assed and unclear shut down response, and the Right-wing propaganda about Covid that made it such a bungle to begin with.

The Infrastructure Act alone has a plethora of great legislative achievements that go beyond fixing our old roads and bridges. Allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices (FINALLY) alone will save untold millions to not only citizens, but lower drug prices and services across the board.
