Did he stop for a second to consider that maybe he was the one at fault? Nah, fuck that, it was clearly that bitch who was at fault for hitting him and him being such an incompetent fucking failure that he couldn't pass his driving exam.

We need conscripts.  People willing to fight.  There's a fuckin' war.  A conflict.  Suit up because we're dismantling teh motherfucking system.  Pick up a weapon (metaphorical).   What don't you understand??  Stand up and fucking fight.   PS: Bridget's got a new backstory, shitlords.

:cop User Banned (1 Week): Antagonising other members, account in junior phase
Quote from: WolverineBlues
Why am I not surprised to see RustyNails pushing this report? Rusty is the same user who has continually bitched about the support being given to Ukraine, the same user who also whined about 'the lack of nuance' when this forum was discussing Russia's weaponising of Ukraine's grain supplies?

Oh, and I see he's still bitching about the support Ukraine is receiving in this very thread:
Quote
They have the backing of the brightest strategists from around the world, with another $1 billion in taxpayer funds from America. Surely they can find ways to fight the aggressors without relying on these tactics. It's not like Gaza, a walled-in concentration camp with the highest density of population per sq mile.

It doesn't matter how many Ukrainian lives are lost, or how millions are made homeless, or how many Ukrainian soldiers and civilians are tortured and maimed...Rusty has got to get his digs in. Fucking pathetic.

I'm so fucking tired of certain folks on this forum.

Quote from: RustyNails
FWIW, Amnesty has called out Hamas as well. Gaza is an open-air prison. A strip of land that's one of the most densely populated on earth. Theres no Palestinian Military. There's no battlefield or frontlines there. It's just a bunch of people being massacred by a genocidal, apartheid regime. Despite that, Amnesty has called them out. I'm not saying Ukraine should just move its gear to the front zone and fight off Russia. I'm not a military strategist, but we can agree that putting civilians in danger is a bad thing.

:cop User Banned (Permanent): Misrepresenting history, downplaying warcrimes, bothsiding, history of the same
Quote from: 1.21Gigawatts
It is a conflict that goes back several thousands of years.
Each act of oppression and violence fuels the next generation of fighters, seeing themselves either in the roles of righteous oppressors or righteous victims defending themselves.
Both sides point toward their magic books backing up their position.

The conflict literally became part of the two sides' respective identities. Hard to unravel.

I'll take it with Hannah Arendt here: https://yalebooks.yale.edu/2020/07/13/hannah-arendt-on-zionism/

With the current far-right govt in Israel and a forming coalition between the European, Russian, American, and Jewish far-right with a strong focus on nationalism and reactionary politics, I think we see we see attempts of aiming for the same positions of power they formerly suffered under.
Leading to person who believes in the development and protection of a Jewish nation figures like Yoram Hazony, one of the organizers and speakers of the National Conservatism conference and author of "The Virtues of Nationalism), aligning with far-right and antisemitic figures like Trump, Viktor Orban and even touting antisemitic conspiracy theories like the ones about George Soros.
https://twitter.com/yhazony/status/1556616596327698432

Hannah Arendt saw this coming 70 years ago when she analyzed the post ww2 track Israel went on. Eventually becoming an oppressor and embracing the pathological aspects of nationalism, wasn't a solution to the problem, but just another chapter of it.
The dehumanization and Us vs. Them mentality Arendt experienced in Nazi Germany was in her eyes a universal recipe for violence along identity lines with interchangeable actors being able to take the roles of oppressor and victim. The violence won't play out in the same way, comparing the treatment of the Palestinians to the Holocaust is completely wrong, because it is not an industrialized effort at extermination, but the underlying mechanisms of vilification and dehumanization along identity lines, and the resulting perception of an existential threat justify the violence in a very similar way.

That said, the fact that Israel would suffer great losses of life on a regular basis if it weren't for the Iron Dome can't be brushed away. Israel's need for defense is legit, but the power dynamic is in its favor, which puts the moral obligation to deescalate on their shoulders, in my opinion.

From what I looked up this isn't really accurate. They've called out Hamas but over stuff like executing political activists and striking down protests. (I guess the kind of stuff Rusty doesn't really like to think about) What I didn't see was them getting called out for operating near civilians.

Sounds unfortunately common for streamers to get swatted. This is the third case in three days, it seems. Didn’t hear about those until this. Maybe that’s on me for not reading news about Justin tv streamers or whatever. One was a hell of a lot worse than this was. Other two aren’t asking for money either. That makes it less newsworthy?

His daughter says he is a truck driver but hasn’t been driving for a company in a long time. KRQE News 13 looked into Syed’s criminal past and found his first charge came in 2017, one year after he arrived here from Afghanistan.

He was arrested for battery after police say he attacked his daughters boyfriend because he didn’t agree with the relationship. That case was dismissed.

A year later, Syed is accused of arguing with his wife while she drove. He then pulled her out of the car by her hair. That case was dismissed.

That same year, Syed’s son called police and said his father was hitting him and his mother with a large metal spoon. He said his father routinely beat them both. That case was also dismissed.

Quote from: ComedySmasher, post: 91363980, member: 6260
I can't read through this much text without my eyes starting to bleed, but from the highlights I'm able to glean out of the juggernaut of text, basically Microsoft is saying that they don't think making the games fully exclusive to their platform would be profitable enough to make up for the money lost from taking them off of rival platforms, so they think that the acquisition should still be allowed to go through as long as they stick to their word about continuing to support other platforms?

It's also very funny to me that Microsoft is trying to spend this much money on Activision only to go "nah, Call of Duty isn't that important, you guys". If it wasn't that important, you wouldn't be spending more money on a buyout than any gaming company in history has ever spent.

I won't bother reading what you posted, but I have to give my shitty ill-informed hot take to make the first post anyways  :nintendo

What have been some important contributions to society by Indigenous peoples?

- Food. Like, a LOT of the food and dishes we eat use ingredients or methods cultivated and maintained by Indigenous Peoples. Potatoes, beans, corn, peanuts, pumpkins, tomatoes, squash, peppers, nuts, melons, and sunflower seeds are just a small sampling of the sheer amount of food we eat today that have basis in Indigenous roots.
- Sports. Many sports and games we play today have their roots in Indigenous cultures, including lacrosse, tobogganing, tug-o-war, hockey, and of course, football (soccer).
- Medicine and Dental Hygiene. Many medicinal plants that were used to treat and prevent things like scurvy, food poisoning, dysentery, and malaria are still used today either in their raw form or as medicinal components in more chemical medications. Just as well, the earliest recorded cases of dental hygiene regimens are attributed to Indigenous People.

Cool, I'm an indigenous people, where does that put me on the Opression Totem pole?

What have been some important contributions to society by Indigenous peoples?

- Food. Like, a LOT of the food and dishes we eat use ingredients or methods cultivated and maintained by Indigenous Peoples. Potatoes, beans, corn, peanuts, pumpkins, tomatoes, squash, peppers, nuts, melons, and sunflower seeds are just a small sampling of the sheer amount of food we eat today that have basis in Indigenous roots.

I assume she's referring to the aztecs but this just highlights what kind of weird understanding Nepenthe has of culture. Yes, the Aztecs are some of the first people we have records of who played a team sport involving a ball. What this however doesn't mean is that this sport was exported to ancient greece, who also had ball games, or ancient china, who also had ball games, or that those sports are actually a precursor of the english football we know today.

Quote from: ComedySmasher, post: 91363980, member: 6260
I can't read through this much text without my eyes starting to bleed, but from the highlights I'm able to glean out of the juggernaut of text, basically Microsoft is saying that they don't think making the games fully exclusive to their platform would be profitable enough to make up for the money lost from taking them off of rival platforms, so they think that the acquisition should still be allowed to go through as long as they stick to their word about continuing to support other platforms?

It's also very funny to me that Microsoft is trying to spend this much money on Activision only to go "nah, Call of Duty isn't that important, you guys". If it wasn't that important, you wouldn't be spending more money on a buyout than any gaming company in history has ever spent.

I won't bother reading what you posted, but I have to give my shitty ill-informed hot take to make the first post anyways  :nintendo

They're not, thats one of several arguments. Maybe you should read the whole thing before doing driveby postings.
Theres also a significant difference between "call of duty isnt that important" and "call of duty is the single thing that will entirely tip the gaming industry forever"

I've been saying from the start that Premium is Jim's grand scheme to convince no one wants to play classics because no one's subbing to Premium for some reason.
FUCK JIM RYAN!

There has to be a separate announcement coming for the Premium tier content.

Its also pretty fucking  :brain to think growing and eating food or using herbs and plants for medicinal reasons is something unique to any particular culture when its fucking hunter gatherer 101 and literally every culture on earth went through that step

Why am I subscribed to Premium? It's a joke if this is all we're getting.

I can't believe we all got so excited about the prospect of PlayStation bringing hundreds of PS1, PS2, PSP and PS3 classics to PS+ and the reality is that, after three months, it's:

- 13 PS1 games
- 4 PSP games
- the exact same library of PS4 ports of a handful of PS2 games that have already been on PS Now since it launched and includes games that barely function on the PS5, with no fixes in sight
- a load of PS4 games that Sony are, for some reason, labelling as Classics because they're technically remasters of older games

And now they're going a whole month without adding anything to the library.

Weeeeak.

... No classics for Premium is some class-action lawsuit shit if nothing is added this month.
Quote
how can they expect people to pay $20 for nothing? If you paid $20 extra to Sony this month do you just get nothing? That just seems wrong and like consumers could take action against them as they are literally paying for nothing.

The premium tier is weak as fuck but they forget that it's a subscription service. You pay for simply keeping access to the games they offer, they're still providing the service people paid for, even if they don't add any games.

shadowbanning does exist for certain sites, but in those cases it is generally well-documented

one of my reddit accounts was shadowbanned. I hadn't used it in a while and my password wasn't very creative or strong, and some bot had hijacked it and used it to make posts shilling a scam shopping site. I was freaked out and changed my password immediately, but the damage was done. I would make posts and no one would reply to them, like no one was seeing what I was saying.

eventually a moderator replied to me and said "hey, just so you know, our tools are automatically flagging your posts for review and they aren't made visible until we see them and approve them, you might want to check if you're shadowbanned."  there's a sub where you can post a thread to see whether you are shadowbanned and a bot will check whether your comment was auto-hidden and tells you. https://www.reddit.com/r/ShadowBan/

I messaged admins to explain the situation and no one fucking cared or got back to me so I made another account
 :goty

it is a leap of logic to instantly assume every site has such systems and start screaming that you've been silenced, but if reddit implemented it, I don't think it's unreasonable to think there might be others out there
