i think abortion should be legal on pragmatic grounds. the 'bodily autonomy' argument that's popular these days is quite weak though

jevil was pretty fun

around $30 normally. i'm not opposed to spending more in principle but the meal would have to be actively pitched to me - it's not worth it to me to go and figure out what out there is worth a lot of money

reminds me of the project veritas thing lol

idk the joke was that [people like booker and holder] look alike with the reference class unstated. i could easily seeing it be about the way these government-adjacent folks all tend to look.

these guys all look the same to me, and race is only part of the aesthetic. (i am aware that holder is not in congress but he has the same kind of look going on)

imagine sonic running at mach 1 into a double demon fang

i'm all for fomenting an atmosphere of paranoia, anger and distrust

fwiw i think cognitive bias is a much stronger factor than conscious dishonest voting and very hard to do anything about so this kind of concern is just something you need to live with for the most part

speaking for myself i had no problem using underhanded tactics within the bounds of the game but voting dishonestly would have been straight up cheating and any advantage gained from that would have been totally unsatisfying to me

incidentally i was curious and name-searched after reading this topic. pretty happy with what people have said about me, though.

it's just natural for chats to become cliquey, and in the flow of real time chat a LOT of random topics come up that aren't significant enough to broach in a forum post. bringing up people outside of one's clique usually happens in that context, and that's going to include sometimes talking shit about them. with the exception of a meta-discussion like this i'd probably never state explicitly on board 8 that i think, say, ltm is a dumbass because it wouldn't come up, but i could totally see myself dropping a line like "ltm is a total dumbass" in a chat if it's even tangentially related to the conversation.

so i think it's more about chat dynamics than about being two-faced or whatever, or at least it is for me. it's also worth noting that the b8 server has a ton of different channels which are quite different in terms of who reads them and talks in them and how much gossip they feature. i have no interest in the main channel but have used others in the past.
