I like how I asked him an honest question and he didn't respond.

Because I'm done with this entire freaking board, and this entire freaking site, and literally the only reason I haven't closed my account yet is because of one friend who roped me into a PBP game, and it's 'she', and I'm sorely regretting that I forgot to turn off the bell for this topic, and I don't give a fuck.

Just so my mind doesn't do that stupid thing where I come up with an answer in the shower later; why do you think something like incest is wrong? It's their moral choice and it's none of your concern; especially if it's consensual as opposed to something like forced/rape. You got a crap-ton of moral positions where you DO care about the moral decisions of other people as well and the moment you think about why you care about those decisions beyond the most superficial of means and try to imagine why someone else might take a different position while still considering it 'moral' and 'acceptable', then you'll have your answer. But of course you're going to be some delusional idiot and think everyone who disagrees with you is some Bible thumping freaking Nazi like from the fucking Handmaidens Tale because you can't differentiate between fantasy delusions and reality like, it seems, everyone on the far left and Twitter now-a-days, and I don't even care if that's a wrong assumption about you anymore because I'm just done with this entire damned board and site. So have a good day, and fuck you ALLLL!!!

I give up. You people are utterly delusional and insane. I feel disgusted that I share even a few policy positions with your rambling nonsense.

Your problem there is the potential for crossing state lines with intent being made illegal in and of itself.

Buh? Sorry, but that's so redonkulous I can't even call it paranoid or obsessively paranoid. No state, to my knowledge, has something like a checkpoint at the state line. Heck, the triple corner between Texas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico is literally just some farms and a dirt road. There's places with state lines basically going right down the middle (EX: Port Chester) and that's not to mention shit like planes, trains, and boats. What are they going to do? Detain every single pregnant woman on the off chance she MIGHT be going to get an abortion? Nevermind how freaking easy it would be to lie and there'd be no way to bloody prove it. This is so stupid I can't even call it paranoid. It's easier to believe Biden's actually a lizardman since that would just require a good disguise as opposed to an operation that would probably cost so much it would bankrupt the entire U.S. for several years to even try it for a few months, do nothing but cause outrage from everyone, and just... No. They're not going to shut down state borders to try and stop abortions. Just... no.

Unfortunately, I think the GOP are gonna win in November. They are going to cheat as much as possible to steal as many seats as they possibly can.

Erm, have you been, like, paying attention to polls, political changes in states, and the like? Not to mention it's absolutely absurd to assume your party's victories are legit but the only way the opposing party could win is through cheating.

How backwards is it to force women to have babies?

Absolutely backwards. This 50 year debate needs to end

I feel pretty sure that, if this passes, it's going to revert to something decided by each individual state as opposed to some universal ban on abortion. So somewhere like Cali or Washington could opt forth abortion up to the 369th month or something and it wouldn't affect Kansas's decision to allow it only up to the 3rd month which wouldn't affect Utah's decision to ban it outright which wouldn't affect, I dunno, Connecticut's decision to allow the abortion at any point up to 9 months but only if the father was a convicted clown. We'll likely see women who want one crossing state lines to get it in different ones. I may be wrong about this; but I highly doubt it's also going to revert to some universal ban (as well as highly doubting the number of women craving an abortion that a certain someone on this board believes). I've made my stance on abortion clear in the past and I don't want to start a debate over if it's right or wrong; just what will happen legally if this does get repealed. I feel pretty certain that Republicans see this not as some punishment on women as a whole but, instead, a punishment on the women who want to have causal and irresponsible sex and murder a baby so they can continue to lead a hedonistic lifestyle. Once again, not saying it's right or wrong, just that this is how they see it. Let's also remember that they've been very clear on this stance ever since it got passed so it's not like it's 'new', just something they didn't have the clout/opportunity to pass.

Not gonna pass but one can dream.

Even if it did I'm pretty sure SCOTUS could overrule it. That's part of the whole point. SCOTUS can override laws and stuff that are deemed unconstitutional. If RvW is found to be unconstitutional than, no matter how much the senate tries to pass it, SCOTUS can override it. Of course they can't just override stuff on a whim (they have to show it's unconstitutional and I think they can only pass judgements on cases that actually reach them. I.E. they can't just decide Ice Cream is unconstitutional one day). The Senate/Congress, in turn, gets to define what is in the constitution but unless they manage to get an amendment through (as opposed to a law) SCOTUS can overrule them.

That's my, admittedly limited, understanding. If I'm wrong I'm wrong; but I know every branch has some check over the other two to ensure no one branch is too powerful.

Streaming services in general are collapsing in on themselves. Not only have they become very similar to the cable channels people went to streaming to escape from in the first place, a lot have made bad decisions of late (High Guardian Spice, rate hikes, preventing multiple users) and there's just a lot of free content to watch on places like Youtube. They won't go the way of Blockbuster; but they're HEAVILY shooting themselves in the foot and we'll likely see a few more fail before long.

I can think of one set of cards that can cause that, but the odds of that happening are 1 in 658,008

There's also a card out there that lets you win an entire match meaning, if it succeeds on the first game, you've just won the second (and arguably third) game as well before they could be played. It's banned, obviously, and basically only existed as an intended prize card, but it IS still an official card.

I don't think murdering your opponent counts as a "victory".

Not with that mindset at least!

The school system as it stands - both basic education as well as higher education - needs a massive ground-up overhaul. But that would take way too much effort and costs money, so no politician will ever push for it and no citizen will ever support it. Which is why we're stuck in the hole we're in.

I'm not so sure about that. I feel like the real issue is that people wouldn't SUPPORT an overhaul of schools (especially if it fixed the actual problems within them) even if it was costly, it's that they feel like, even if they did, it wouldn't work out. They'd blow a bunch of cash only to end up with something of roughly similar quality. NCLB and CC has blown a lot of peoples faith in the school system as a whole away. It doesn't help in the slightest that a lot of people on the left are advocating for heavily political subjects to be taught, getting teachers advocating for left-wing ideologies, and so-forth since this makes the right FAR less willing to support that sort of thing. This isn't about right, wrong, or otherwise. It's about getting the support needed. If one of the two major parties refuses to fund it because they feel it's going to be used to brainwash kids and the other is insistent on said things that the former believes to be brainwashing be included, it's gonna be a deadlock at best.

Basil Pesto. Doesn't help that I didn't like it before and basically ate it because friend.

I also don't feel the question is... good... when it comes to games. Like, for example, how do you 'win' at Sims? There's no win condition. Or, in Minecraft, while it has a 'win' condition of beating the Enderdragon, most players don't even bother with it. Instead they'd rather do something like, say, recreate all of Middle Earth.

They need to teach that stuff though. The majority of what school has taught me has been useless.

I asked what was algebra good for and I got told carpentry. Never used it when I worked construction. I needed a measurement I just measured it myself.

Science and history are nice to know but I wouldn't say (the more in depth stuff) is required to live a good life.

I don't have a problem with those classes as it is easier to learn when you are younger and you might get a job that needs that knowledge bur basic tips on how to survive adulthood is very important. Can't trust all parents to be able to impart that knowledge.

Like I bought my first car recently (been surviving on a truck I inherited) and I wouldn't have known what to do about anything if my mom wasn't able to help me. Dealer would probably have picked up on it and ran all over me.

There is a lot of things I'm blessed my mom has been able to walk me through. Not everyone has parents that can or will.

Hell I'd ad cooking to the list of essential classes. Have a basic culinary class just for knowing how to cook for yourself and family then an advanced one for those who wanna make it a career

It's more complicated than that. One of the main issues ATM is that the educational... 'dialect'?... has basically become 'after high school go to college and study hard so you can get a job in STEM and earn lots of money or don't and spend the rest of your life flipping burgers at McDonald's.' That's all well and good for someone who has a bunch of talent in medicine and can become a doctor; but for someone whose primary talents are in woodcarving or stonework? Not only are Trade Schools almost never mentioned but there's very little support/framework in normal schools to even figure out what your skills might be. So you might be, like, an amazing plumber who outright enjoys the job but you'd never know because your school, instead, browbeat you into going to college to get a degree in tech that makes you a low-level data entry clerk who is eternally unhappy with their job.

The American school system is massively screwed because it follows a factory mindset from, like, the 1920's and steadfastly refuses to learn or change while constantly treading backwards (EX: More homework and less recess) and it's 'reforms' are focused on things like gender inclusivity. I'm not going to mock, approve, belittle, invalidate, or whatever else about that. I am going to ask why we're focusing on this sort of thing instead of trying to actually overhaul the whole rotten apple of a system. We have teachers who are nothing more than activists on both sides causing tons of trouble nation-wide while ignoring a lot of the teachers who legit care about their students yet lack materials, support, and struggle to make ends meet because of low pay grades.

Why do you think that? The republic was running smoothly for like 1000 years or some shit without a military and probably would have been going strong for much longer if Palpatine didn't exploit a flaw in the system. It's not even ridiculous how he did it given that he was inspired by real world dictators.

I disagree with that. I feel the Old Republic was a sick and dying government that would have been completely ineffective had it not been for the Jedi acting as their cops. The question wasn't 'could it be destroyed' but 'when'.

Also known as bad writing.

Actually... No. That's really how it was supposed to be. The Republic, despite all it's 'power', couldn't end a blockade around a single planet because it was so broken and ineffective. That's why the CIS was able to rise up and do as well as it did. Because the Republic couldn't properly handle what was going on and what should have been relatively simple and straight-forwards. I mean, Palpy had a huge hand in it; but it only GOT to that point where he could do it because of how ineffective they were. Remember, the only reason they even had a military was because someone went behind their back to make one.

Bad writing would be them being this massive power displayed as super effective and the like yet being unable to handle it. The point here is to show that they're ineffective and largely useless which is why CIS rose, how it was so (relatively) easy for Palpatine to turn the Republic into the Empire, and why the Jedi fell despite being more numerous and 'strong' compared to the Sith. Because, in general, everything was just so rotten and decayed it couldn't stand.

I know a lot of people hated the political stuff, but if you really think about it it was very important. I mean, the Republic couldn't do anything to stop a blockade of a single planet that was being done by a force that wasn't even all that strong in the first place. The GUNGANS managed to put up a fight against them after all! But the galaxy-spanning Republic full of multiple nations? Couldn't do it. The Republic was fractured and weak and dying. Palpy only needed to give it a small push to take over.

As I understand it it's mostly that a lot of Republicans, especially older ones, would prefer lower taxes to Universal Healthcare. Plus a lot of them are concerned that the money will, instead of life-saving treatments and the like, will go into things like abortions and gender transition surgeries which they immensely disapprove of. I've also heard plastic surgery but I'm pretty sure everyone would agree who is for UH that a cosmetic vanity surgery wouldn't be covered. Personally I feel that we should offer at least a basic level of Universal Healthcare and leave at least the non-health related things to private payments. Obviously I'd want MORE, but we should have that at the LEAST!

The primary issue is VIII (no surprise there). It not only cut off a LOT of the potential and obvious development threads but, on a more basic level, it took up one of the three movies to accomplish basically nothing. Finn and Rose's plot was completely meaningless, Luke got reduced to basically worthlessness and a lot of Rey's story was just getting him to train her properly in the first place, and Leia/Poe's was just a boring chase that went nowheres and could have been resolved in, like, five minutes of screentime. Even keeping the same basic plot if they'd cut just so much of the flab they would have had more space to actually, ya know, move the plot along. Finn and Rose's plot is the greatest offender as, ultimately, all they ended up doing was pointlessly freeing a bunch of animals which were being treated badly for no reason at all. (Seriously. If you're going to have wealthy people betting fortunes on space horses, don't abuse the horses and use slave labor to care for them! And even if you're going to go that route, FREE THE SLAVES TOO! So pointless.)

My prediction.

Trump will run as the primary Republican candidate. The GOP will opt for some candidate firmly in their camp instead. Whoever it is really won't matter. They will run this person against Trump. One of two things will happen. Either Trump will win or Trump will not win (obviously). However, in both scenario's, Trump won't win. They will either find a way to disqualify him or engage in shenanigans behind the scene to make it so he 'lost'. Even if he does, legit, lose it won't really change what will happen next. Trump will go rogue and try to form his own MAGA party and it will cripple the Republican base. If the right is lucky either DeSantis and/or Musk will openly champion the party and, maybe, DeSantis will take a VP position.

Meanwhile the GOP itself will opt for someone who is 'safe' and the candidate they pick really won't matter. The vote among the right won't be about candidates, policies, or anything of the sort. It will be about how much the people on the right trust the old GOP vs. if they feel the party no longer represents their best interests.

On the left you will see a lot of the moderates leaving the party and distancing themselves from both the far left and Biden due to economic issues and other things (I expect the laptop to come up again and again). It doesn't really matter if Biden runs again or not. Mainly because the focus here is on the party as opposed to the individual.

This will lead to what is, basically, a three-way show-down. Only the Republican and Democrat nominee will officially be acknowledged; but Trump will still be in the background gathering up votes. Come election night it will basically be a three-way smackdown.

Somehow, despite the massive disapproval of both major parties, a growing dislike of government, and the rise of a new third party, the Libertarian Party will **** it up and still massively fail.

I pretty much just made all that up on a whim. TBH, I think the only PEOPLE that actually matter here are Trump and DeSantis (and Musk to a lesser degree) and even then it's mainly in regards to how people feel about the GOP and if they feel the Republican Party is salvageable for modern right-wing politics or if they should start a new party instead. While a similar question will be faced on the left they don't have a central rallying figure for that ATM. IMO, pretty much everyone who isn't deep into one of the two parties feels generally abandoned by them ATM. I don't know if this will lead to the rise of a third party or not; but I DO feel like this will be basically the 'real' question of the 2024 election. Does either party actually represent it's base anymore? That's going to, likely, be the single deciding thing in this election.

Personally, I fully support at least a baseline of universal healthcare. That's my major issue. We need to work towards dealing with climate change (especially by punishing a lot of the polluting companies instead of berating the common people), deal with the fact that we have a LOT of people who are being effectively abandoned by society to rot, address the crippling student debt issues, avoid getting into more conflicts (might not be possible, but we should try to avoid it), and similar things. We should also keep an eye out on the places trying UBI to see if it actually works; but that won't be an issue this election.

My home believes NFT's are the way of the future. So... No.

An evolutionary dead end?

Consider a few factors
-Human children are not capable of caring for themselves, and typically require some approximation of the "family unit" to flourish. When fathered by "alpha" males, children are denied this atmosphere and this leads to a lower socioeconomic status later in life
-Human evolution has traditionally involved min-maxing towards cooperative, communal behavior patterns. When we introduce an alternative driving force towards selfish and less socially adaptive traits, we introduce cracks and fissures into the gene pool.
-By incentivizing direct competition between human males rather than binary pairings dictated by affection or economic alliance, women unknowingly encourage violent conflict between potential mates which results in only the more "primal" males prospering through force of arms (ie white genocide).

This leads to a few potentially contradictory conclusions
-while the shift in women's attitudes has traditionally been analyzed through the lens of social decay (sin) the consequences are much more broadly reaching than that and could alter humanity on a broader scale
-the issue is potentially self correcting as we will eventually reach a point where copulation through feminism is no longer viable and more natural means of dividing this resource will emerge as a survival mechanism

Thoughts?

It sounds like a college professor threw a bunch of big-sounding words around to confuse the students so they could force their own viewpoints and opinions under the guise of making it sound educated/scientific/etc.

I'm no expert in the scientific aspects of monogamy, but from what little I understand it's basically that it's a 'compromise' between the man and woman. The man isn't going around sleeping with multiple women and devoting his resources to the wife and children while the woman isn't getting knocked up by other guys and devoting her time to raising her husbands kids. However this only affects the biological level (and isn't a good explanation either) and the fact is that many PEOPLE in general look forwards to finding the special someone and are happy to have a monogamous relationship.

While there is definitely a massive cause for concern about divorce rates; I don't think an internet forum for video games has the qualifications to really understand what is being discussed beyond the most superficial of levels.

If you take in less calories than you use each day, you lose weight. Dieting reduces the amount you take in, exercise increases the amount you use.

This seems to be more of a child support thing than actual UBI. I am very interested in seeing what will happen with a UBI; but I don't think this is it. My vote would be 'I'm interested to see what happens'.

Probably because all your arguments are based on blatant lies

Haha.... No. You might wanna do a bit of poking around as to what actually happened. I'll give you a small hint. A lot of the people who were calling for it tended to also espouse a very specific viewpoint beginning with a 'C'.

I have written out a response; but the thing is I'm not so sure I should post it. This whole discussion is already massively volatile and I'm also REALLY unconvinced that any argument made could change someone's mind on this subject. I already did a stupid by getting involved in a political topic which I've been trying to avoid doing (unsuccessfully, but trying) because it seems to do nothing but cause problems. I want to walk away at this point because I know it will only cause a fight if I don't. As I have saved the post elsewhere I can post it if need-be, but I'm not sure at all if I should. I guess I'm saying that, really, I don't want to get caught in a stupid internet post fight where all that happens is people yell at each other, gets mad and hateful, and the only 'progress' is in how high our blood pressure gets.

Where do you think the whole 'defund the police' ideology got started from?

keyblader1985 posted...

You're asking the right questions but still somehow with a negative context. The point is to identify what needs to be fixed and try to come up with reasonable solutions.

That. Literally that. Where are people getting this "free all criminals, free money, fuck white people" stuff from? (Rhetorical question; we all know where)

As demonstrated, there are many people who bury their heads and refuse to acknowledge that any such problems exist at all; it's pretty difficult to get anything done as long as that mentality exists.

Because it's not doing that. It's easy to discuss the problems in the prison system and how it impacts minority groups disproportionately (our criminal justice system is nucking futs flat-out); but CRT would proclaim that basically every minority that got arrested was arrested because of racist profiling and practices. So the real problem of, say, minor crimes being vastly disproportionately punished, a prison system that is focused on punishment instead of rehabilitation, and so-forth would be ignored by CRT in favor of 'all cops and judges are racist'. This is where defund the police came from. Because the solution to dealing with the issues of racism in the police, instead of being properly diagnosed and addressed, were assigned a blanket fix-all that ignored a lot of reality in favor of a fanciful outcome that resulted in massive spikes in crime. If you believe the police to be corrupt, sure, we can have that discussion. I'm fully in favor of at least trying that 'civil officer' idea. But the knee-jerk response of getting rid of ALL of them while not having even basic law enforcement in play leads to lots of issues. CRT causes nothing but problems and should be shunned and banned so that problems can be actually addressed, actual conversations had, and actual solutions found. As opposed to claiming innocent people are inherently racist and the like.

Lokarin posted...

Fair enough, I'm not, like, a cunning linguist or anything...

I was trying to match the real-world scenario of a bank denying a loan to a black family not being racist because they're following the zoning guidelines... when those guidelines were racially informed; it's bigotry radiation.

Well, okay, but in that situation is it the bank's fault for following the zoning guidelines or the fault of the people in government for not fixing the zoning guide lines? Also, how would you FIX the situation as opposed to just saying it needs fixing? If you think the bank should grant the loan anyways, then should the same apply to a family of a different racial background as well? Or should an entirely different system be put into place and how could it be built to not have said racist elements and so-forth?

Like I said, there's some huge issues that definitely need addressing like the amount of PoC's in jail, but the solution isn't to just... free criminals. At least not to free criminals just because of their race. The whole prison and justice system in general needs an overhaul and a huge part of that would be fixing how harsh some of the crimes (especially lesser ones) are punished. However there's still going to be people in prison and there's no guarantee that the reform will result in a prison population that's representative of the civilian population either.

There are problems with race that certainly need fixing. However CRT is like using a bonfire to fix a broken power outlet. It's the wrong tool and just going to make everything worse. Instead figure out which systems actually need fixing and what the problems with them are on an individual basis so the right fix can be applied. If PoC's are having trouble graduating school, figure out what they're struggling in and develop a support structure to help students who are struggling in that area; don't just lower scores and say that the fault is a racist school system or that math is racist or something.

Lokarin posted...

ya, which is why I used a nuclear analogy - just because the cleanup is complete and the problem solved doesn't mean there isn't longstanding fallout

That's also why I brought up my question. Because it's like accusing someone who worked there of having brought about the destruction of said plant when they were just a janitor there. CRT is basically saying that everyone who ever worked at said plant is responsible for the deformed babies when, the reality is, most of the people who did work there were just doing their job. While a portion are certainly responsible, making a blanket statement like 'all people who worked there caused this' is insane and accuses a lot of innocent people of being complacent in something they likely didn't even know was a thing. Likewise, just because said radiation-affected children exist doesn't mean we should be shaming the children who weren't for 'having a better life'.

Thing is, both of those things are what's happening with CRT. People are being treated like monsters for 'benefiting from the system' or what have you and basically supporting these institutions when the reality is that the vast majority were just people trying to survive and get by in life. Likewise it's punishing people who weren't even alive at the time for things that their parents/grandpartents/etc did.

This isn't to say that said radiation-affected children't don't exist. You are right and there is a 'problem' that needs fixing. It's that blaming the janitor for management's mistake is wrong (I.E. blame the actually racist people, not the people who were just trying to get by) as well as their kids who weren't even alive then is wrong as well. Two wrongs don't make a right.

Simply put, at least with the 'modern' use, CRT is the theory that basically everything in western culture exists to oppress PoC's and Women. White people, especially white men, have benefited immensely from this and have massive amounts of inherent privileged as a result. So basically everything is inherently racist to some degree unless it was made by PoC's and the only 'solution' is to expose this racism and tear down the system and replace it with a more 'equitable' system.

It's all just excuses to be the absolute sociopaths they are. They never do anything to address problems. They essentially go "The law is racist because I said so, so I can be personally racist to offset that" which is obviously going to be a shitshow from day 1.

I disagree cause it seems like it's that they're all TOO willing to do something. Like 'this guy said a bad word thirty years ago; we should ban and condemn him for it!' or, more recently, trying to condemn a game that beat another game 'with a strong and empowered female' (Elden Ring and Horizon). Someone doesn't support something they like, the reason why or if they're right or not doesn't matter; all that matters is condemning them, shunning them, getting them fired, etc.
