So what actually happened?

This story dances around it without actually saying it.

It seems like this lady was double charged for food and went back to get a refund and judging by the video inside before she's kicked out and slammed she must have called the guy a racial slur for black people

Im also gonna assume she called him one again prompting the attack. So basically they're both trash human beings that let a few dollars escalate into her doing to the hospital and him being charged with a felony

It seems?

Lol, stop. Not only does your scenario presuppose that she not only hurled a racist slur, but that she also did it twice, and that those actions (if they even happened) warranted an attack that could have killed her. That's silly, especially when we consider the attack happened outside the establishment.

This is the only site I really go to and I don't know where to turn for help. I'm bugging out cause what if something happens to her or my kids. What if they come to the house and force there way in when I'm not home?

What would you do to protect anyone anyway, even if you were home?

Sorry, I read through your posts and you don't exactly sound like a man of action.

What is wrong with these people?

Hold up. Maybe the assaulter is really the victim, though. It's possible that the 55-year old woman called him a gay slur.

Talk s*** get hit!

Or at least thats what CE was saying in that other classroom fight topic.

Yes, a sub assaulting a student is totes the same as someone getting slapped for bullying someone with slurs. Shut the fuck up.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Don't start none, won't be none.
Talk shit, get hit.

(Yes, these are all stupid expressions that people support... until they have an excuse as to why it should not be used, like you're doing here.

No, I am not hyped.

What little Ive seen makes it look like a generic romcom/drama. You know, the kind where the ugly girl is a loser because she doesnt get along with most people and likes being rebellious, except you find out later that she has a heart of gold and is really awesome and attractive. Whatever flaws she has arent usually a big deal like a debilitating mental illness, and are more of a quirk thats kind of cute and endearing. Her character arc, if there is one, is prompted by a crisis like she or a loved one is dying or some charity or school needs to be saved. Of course, a male stranger, who looks like a model and is the opposite of homeless, falls in love with her and helps her to realize her potential to save the world, but the whole time youre wondering why in the fuck would he ever be interested in her, in the first place.

Elizabeth Warren is an opportunist. The scandal with her "native" bloodline and the revolving door of people she is willing to bow down to, when it suits her needs, should have taught you that already.

Meh, she can call being single whatever she wants. It does sound she's a bit self conscious about it, but it's her life.

I noticed that Torchlight 2 is on sale in the PS4 online store. It's been so long since I played it, I can't remember if I finished it. The art style is very different from Diablo 4, but the Torchlight games are quality titles and worth a try, if you're looking for an action RPG to bide the time until D4 release.

Also how the fuck does it fly a ship and have unique technology like that, at all? Are you telling me there are "thing" mechanics and shops and stuff where it comes from? It makes no sense, it's shown to be this brutal, instinct-driven, opportunistic hunter, but it's intelligent enough to pilot spacecraft? Major disconnect between what's shown and told.

Nah, I think you are approaching all this with a very human-centric point of view. There is no reason to assume that the Thing has to do things the way we do on Earth, or that it even has any of our motivations other than survival.

Edit: The Thing is one of my favorite movies, so it's always fun to see it pop up in a topic, once in a while.

I left out some things. She speaks Tagalog and English in all of her videos, so her videos are accessible to both the west and the Philippines.
Also she is basically a celebrity in the Philippines for being good looking and being on a soap opera over there.

Thanks for the explanation.

I can see that her countrymen would want to support her. Philippines is pretty good about looking out for one of their own.

I agree. Art style/graphics look like D2 but full 3D and high quality but not overly taxing in terms of system requirements. Glad to see Druid coming back.

You are probably right about the PC users, but I suspect console owners will have a different experience.

I agree about the druid. That caught my attention, more than anything else.

You dont think there are trolls on this board who are constantly lying?

Oh, there are definitely trolls, but I don't know which ones you are specifically talking about and I don't pay serious enough attention to them to know if they are constantly lying, as you put it. Either I laugh at whatever outrageous thing they said, or they're boring so I move on quickly. I guess a few "constantly" piss me off, so I try to figure out why that is.

Its just strange that youre conflating not listening to people who are posting constant lies with creating an echo chamber. Its not the same at all.

Constant lies? I don't know whom or what that entails, so I can really only talk about my experience. Let me put it this way:

Do you ignore or block people you like or people you agree with?

I think the opposite is true. An ignore list is a means to create the environment you are comfortable with. On a message board, I believe that generally means creating an echo chamber. At the very least, it's a safe space. That is an Ok thing and certainly within your rights as a member to utilize.

shockthemonkey posted...

Do you know how many people are on this board? Having a handful of trolls on ignore makes the board less annoying, it doesnt suddenly create an echo chamber.

Hey, you do you. If it's easier for you to navigate the board, then it's good to have the option.

I don't look at it that way for myself because I want to read different opinions. Even the members I almost never agree with, or even like much, have helped me grow and see things from their point of view. Other than that, some of the gimmick accounts are amusing.

I couldn't even imagine enjoying CE having all of those users on ignore.

Yeah, and for me, it's the fact that ignoring people basically creates an echo chamber. I would just be interacting with members whose views I support. I can't do that, or rather I won't.

100+

It could easily have been more than 300 because they mostly came in waves of around 6-10 every two or three minutes, and we handed out candy for three hours or so. We had bags and bags of candy, but had to ration them out to last the night. It was cool to see all the costumes, but none really stood out and it was funny to see a few middle schoolers show up with no costume and with their school bags open.

I don't think anything too big will happen. News outlets will cover the story morning, noon and night, while comedians everywhere will get a treasure trove of new jokes that will see them through the next five plus years. Trump supporters will probably bitch about it all, but not actually do anything.

What I want to know is what will Democrats do when Trump is not removed from office. Four more years of investigations, with nothing else to focus on?

So some sadistic people used a haunted house as a cover to torture people and "cancel culture" is to blame when it's shut down?

Yeah I know the TC isn't serous.

Hope the people behind it are punished.

Yes, cancel culture is to blame when there are adults literally signing consent forms to go through this Haunted House, but then other people who were never going in anyway want to parent them by stopping them from going because the place is weird, creepy, insane or whatever the fuck else is bothering them about it.

The real argument against this Haunted House is what some members here have claimed: it might not be possible to win and claim any prizes, due to the owner allegedly rigging the event. That should be open to lawsuits.

For thousands of years religion has been used to keep societies in order. Societies that would have probably fallen into absolute chaos without something holding it together.

Ehh, that sounds very speculative. We do not know exactly what would have happened if we removed religion from the history of various societies, but we do know that more secular countries today are not more chaotic than fundamentalist religious ones. We could give religions credit for certain artistic, architectural and educational achievements, to be fair.

Its also worth noting cases like the James Bulger case in the UK where repeated intrusion by the press served only to incur extra state expense and inhibit potential rehabilitation of minors who committed a serious crime.

Potential rehabilitation

Because you're asserting a claim that you cannot actually prove either. Saying God isn't real is the same as saying God is real. You can NOT prove either.

On one hand, he's human and it's only natural for him to be affected by this sort of thing. On the other hand, if you can't walk the walk, don't talk the talk.

That take does not make sense, given what we know of Jordan Peterson.

To the best of my knowledge, Peterson has never claimed to be a tough guy, or an "Alpha" as some would say. In fact, he has cried before during public speeches, media interviews and at least one vlog. I don't even think he's ever even said that online criticism and such does not have an impact on him. He's been supportive of viewers and patients who have admitted they are suicidal, depressed, mentally ill or generally struggling. This is not a guy who dismisses people's personal pain, but he does seem very wary of anyone who is pro censorship or pro violence.

Again, Peterson is not the type to claim he is a tough guy who would never cry or admit defeat in some way. He's always struck me as a bit effeminate, maybe what older generations would call a dandy.

I think it says quite a bit when we have story after story of MtF's absolutely dominating female competition.

I think it would say quite a bit if we did have story after story of "MTF's" [sic] absolutely dominating female competition. however, we do not.

There are all kinds of women's records being broken and top placements being won by trans athletes across a wide range of sports, although this is tempered by the fact there are not that many trans athletes competing. You are either being dishonest about this or you haven't been paying attention to the news.

I'm betting it's the former.
