It was like I summoned you and the very summoning itself angered the gods so much they smote us on the spot. Except in my case I did my time in Hades and return whereas you liked it enough to stay.

well, i'm gonna try my luck again.  we'll see what happens!  I just plan to lay low and take Derrick to task. I mostly just want to sub to threads, since the boards are basically a few big lumps. also, the b/s/t thread there is pretty awesome.  way better than ebay, amazon, or cag.

I don't know shit about economics but it seems to me that Sanky Panky believes the USA is still operating on the gold standard (or platinum standard in this case)?  IE - the denomination of a theoretical platinum $1 tril coin is directly representative of the value of the metal the coin is comprised of?

because, you know, LOL.

They are already changing a few numbers in a spreadsheet, yet adding a coin would again, balloon the M1 money supply, make it less transferable (no they can't just dissolve or liquidate the coin, they have to exchange it for something and to someone), and signal the entire world that after you finance trillions of dollars for us, you'll get a nice shiny piece of metal as a token of our appreciation.

Why is it dumb when you look at the practicality of the thing? What will the coin be made out of? platinum? how much is an ounce of platinum in the market? what will more likely happen? will the price of platinum go up 1000-fold (making any holder of platinum mega rich, or will the dollar plummet to $1 trillion getting you only a mere ounce of platinum? If you want to see how this dynamic works, revisit every devaluation of the currency throughout human history.

because internet. 

it's like people taking down AVGN's youtube channel because they claim he "scammed" everyone.  In reality, he simply helped with the promotion of a NES reproduction cart by making a guest appearance on their kickstarter video pitch.  And the people who did the KS had the rights to the game.  And the simple fact that people who donated did so willingly...and received what they donated for.  And that AVGN received no money from any of this...he simply made an appearance on a video.

So, spam DMCA notices on his account, because internet.

[FStop7]

Some writer for MSNBC wrote the same shit in an article - that a trillion dollar coin can't be minted because there isn't enough platinum in the world to make one large enough.  For fuck's sake... ladies and gentlemen, the mainstream media at work.

Also, this - http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=507524

Kotaku is a shit site that posts shit stories.  Deliberately misleading headlines, poorly written interviews with out of context quotes, etc.  People rightfully ask the question - what value is there in posting threads about a site with no credibility?  And of course Lore, in his thirst for mad clicks, bans them.  If this is the way he's going to go then he might as well allow VGChartz threads.

[Don Flamenco]

Kotaku so transparently looked at that situation and came up with an "opinion" piece that would generate discussion about Kotaku > hits to the site.  To even discuss the merit of that article at all is to get fished in...not clicking through is not good enough. 

i'm not sure where the line is, but with Kotaku, it better have an informative, normal headline or I just write it off as clickbait.  Too bad people are dumb and want to have their emotions stimulated by everything on the internet.

[Don Flamenco]

also, can't help but think of this when I read Evilore's weird, overlong posts about how discussion on the site should be conducted:




"No meta discussion" is just a bad rule to strictly enforce.  People really have a right to question the value of posting Kotaku crap articles.

I don't understand the aversion some have to standing up for oneself.  Remember the video of the overweight kid in Australia who body slammed a smaller kid who was hitting him and harassing him?  A bunch of cryhards on GAF started bitching about that, too.  Are they so meek and defeated in their own lives that they resent others who stand up for themselves?  Or are they themselves repressed bullies and are scared of seeing what happens when people fight back?

Violence isn't the answer. Violence is the question. The answer is "your face".

[TakingBackSunday]

Standing up for yourself, enforcing your authority, and generally taking charge physically is fucking genetic.  It's instinct.  It's not always ideal, nor should be used all the time in bullying situations, but being able to do so means you win at being human.  And you get the added advantage of proving a point or standing up for someone too afraid to do so.

[Don Flamenco]

it sounds like the bully wasn't doing much physical bullying.  but average joe fuckface thinks any contact at all = i get to break your face. 

In real adult life, the bully gets some little misdemeanor ding, maybe.  The violent person gets a battery charge, the bully's hospital bill, anger management classes, community service, etc.

but average joe fuckface also thinks he should get to revert to the code of hammurabi whenever he feels like it because he can't see outside his little bubble, so he would spite the courts for that ruling too.

[TakingBackSunday]

Shaking a kid and calling him a taco I think is well over the line for determining do I walk away or do I do something.

[Don Flamenco]

ok, well, have fun with that.   and have fun getting ruffled feathers from words.  You win as a monkey, lose as a person who is secure and confident enough to walk away.

If you can't stand your ground™ how can you call yourself an american?

[ToxicAdam]

I was generally a mild bully in school, but there was one time I got my ass handed to me by a black girl that was a year older than me.

I was walking down the hall to my next class and this older girl knocked my books out of my hands. As I bent down to pick them up, she took her book bag and swung it on my head. It must have had some books in it as it made me see stars. All her friends were sitting there laughing. I just kind of picked up my shit and shuffled off.

It wasn't like I was afraid of confrontation or hadn't been in fights before. Just in that moment, I froze because I had no frame of reference on how to handle the situation. It's like every part of my brain was telling me to get the fuck out of this situation as soon as possible.

[Don Flamenco]

it's just weird that so many people talk about instinct and being alpha in these situations.  Um, we moved on from that thousands of years ago.  We have laws against that kind of thing because it does more harm to everyone around if people can just throw punches over some name-calling and shaking.  If survival and being alpha is adapting to your environment, your current environment punishes that kind of behavior and can completely fuck up your ability to get ahead/survive.  And it's not because some guy said "lets make everyone a pussy lol"  when he came up with the law.  It's because we have the ability to be rational, even when confronted with bullshit. 

And from a parenting p.o.v., you would not be doing the right thing teaching your kid that violence is an answer to little situations like that.  The day the kid turns 18 (and even before that), he can get fucked over pretty hard if he sticks with that behavior.  He also might grow up to be average joe fuckface. 

the people in the gaf thread have watched too many romantic revenge movies and seem to have lost track of the fact that they're just movies. it's kinda corny actually...

[TakingBackSunday]

Uh, we're not that far removed from our animalistic instinct.  I mean, we AREN'T removed.  We're still animals.

[TakingBackSunday]

the dad did fine too, he even told his son "I'm proud of you for standing up for your friend, but I wish you didn't have to resort to violence"

that's the best sort of response he could give, I think.  My dad did the same thing when I got in trouble for punching a bully.  He grounded me but he was proud I stood up for myself.

He did well for standing up for himself/friend but he just chose the wrong way to do it (starting a physical confrontation).

[Barry Egan]

Uh, we're not that far removed from our animalistic instinct.  I mean, we AREN'T removed.  We're still animals.

 

Let's take the initial premise that we are still animals.  No argument there. 

We've also managed to diminish external threats to such a degree that our initial flight or fight reactions aren't really useful the way they used to be.  We're no longer in the jungle, and we don't need to occupy ourselves with the question of what's the next thing I hafta slaughter and/or avoid to survive.

But if that's the posture you want to occupy your time within, you'll certainly have plenty of  company. There's literally no end to communities based upon indulgent hand-wringing and impotent grandstanding, so you must be in hogs heaven if that's what you really believe. 

[TakingBackSunday]

meh I don't care enough to argue anymore, I haven't thrown a punch in like 12 years anyway

[Mr. Gundam]

If you're involved in a fight at school, regardless of who started it, you get suspended.

I get that the Dad is worked up about his kid standing up to a bully. That's great, but there are still consequences. If we think that guns aren't the solution to gun violence, then why should physical violence be the solution to physical violence?

[Steve Contra]

Schools just need to be better at punishing shitty kids, really.

[TakingBackSunday]

Oh I think the suspension is warranted, absolutely.  And I'm not saying physical altercations are the answer, but after a half-year or more's worth of verbal and physical intimidation, a message has to be conveyed.  Sometimes a pop to the face works.

I'd be curious to hear if this bully stops his bullying for a while, or just find smaller easier targets.

[TakingBackSunday]

sucky parents gonn' suck

[Mr. Gundam]

That GAF thread freaks me out. I refuse to read it because I'm sure I've dealt with parents just like that at work before.

[Mr. Gundam]

Schools need to accept the fact that not all kids are ready to learn academics. Some kids need to learn how to behave and socialize with others. I bring this up all the time, which drives some teachers insane. Too bad.

Also, I'm sick to death of hearing "they should know better" in meetings. Clearly some kids don't know better (although I agree that there are tons that do), and that's the reason why they've got an Emotional Behavioral Disability.

[Cerveza mas fina]

How would you teach a kid to stand up for himself but also not to use violence against bullies?

[Mr. Gundam]

How would you teach a kid to stand up for himself but also not to use violence against bullies?

Social skills groups, role playing, learning how to make friends, helping to instill confidence. A lot of times once you start acting confident, you're no longer a target.

Most of the kids I work with are the bullies, though. That's a whole different ballgame.

[TakingBackSunday]

basically gundam is Prez

[TakingBackSunday]

and a lot of bullies are also entitled little dipshits who surround themselves with other entitled dipshits

[Mr. Gundam]

A lot of bullies are just lonely ass kids who want attention or acknowledgement. I think a lot of bullying stems from that, and is expressed in who they choose to bully.

Pretty much. One of my high schools has a self-contained behavior program for kids with significant issues. They're great kids who just don't get it and need help learning what to do.

There are other kids who are truly disturbed and need intense mental health services we can't provide, though.

[Don Flamenco]

People don't seem to make the connection between there being so many sociopathic and selfish people in society and teaching their kids that they're the little exception to the rules. 

violence is bad, but you, johnny, you're batman.  if that kid calls you a cigarillo again, just pop him right in the chin to shut him up. 

[Mr. Gundam]

I had a kid a couple years ago bring brass knuckles to school. His mom gave them to him for defense. Dumb kid walked around wearing them and taunting kids he didn't even know.

[Cerveza mas fina]

Is this a bad school?
