Dr. Angela Ziegler posted:I spend a good deal of my time volunteering at a game store, one which is a registered Safe Space and fosters inclusion and has worked hard to chase out the young white libertarian shithead male demo that makes games stores (and hobby gaming in general) hostile to women and minorities. The people who still come in and play CAH in the cafe are the worst humans on the planet without exception. CAH has lasting appeal only to racists/everything-else-ists, and if someone says they love it, that's a huge red flag. Anecdotes are fun. Some of the most fun I've had with my friends was getting drunk and playing CAH with friends. A group that consisted of every 2 white dudes, 3 white chicks(one of them was born in a males body and transitioning), 2 black dudes, and an Asian dude. Like I'll grant anyone who can play it like every loving day or something is probably suspect. But as like a 5 times a year or so thing it's plenty fun. That games just not something to play with randoms. As an aside good on you and that gaming store. As someone who loves board games tabletop stuff it's cool to have a store that ensures people don't act like shitheads to different people. Because my first experience in one of those places as a black dude was lovely as hell at age like 16 or so.

Yeah, playing it a couple times a year with chill people that aren't racist pieces of poo poo can be fun. I can't imagine how cringe worthy playing it with college republicans would be though. e: Secretly filming college republicans playing it though should be mandatory for future political attack adds.

Cah is fine like once a year and their Black Friday sales are funny and it's cool that they took out a card that was just making GBS threads on trans people but anyone who really likes it and plays it all the time and jumps to defend it is probably a huge douchebag

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/05/30/exclusive-former-wikileaks-employee-james-ball-describes-working-with-julian-assange.htmlquote:Introduced to WikiLeaks staff and supporters under a false name, Shamir was given direct access to more than 90,000 of the U.S. Embassy cables, covering Russia, all of Eastern Europe, parts of the Middle East, and Israel. This was, for quite some time, denied by WikiLeaks. But that’s never a denial I’ve found convincing: the reason I know he has them is that I gave them to him, at Assange’s orders, not knowing who he was. Welp. Also in what world is someone waking you up and sitting on your bed going SIGN THIS NDA RIGHT NOW going to actually make any sane person sign the NDA.

In order to be a whistleblowing org you need to operate in a grey area, and when that grey area forces you to decide between self preservation, protecting sources and not being an rear end in a top hat it can lead to some very bad decision being made. Assange though is just all rear end in a top hat dodging rape charges.

I can't believe there was a loving slapfight about Cards Against Humanity in this thread. I mean, yes I can, but jfc.  obligatory opinion: CAH is okay, but I don't have the gutter-trash sense of humor to really enjoy the risque stuff. I like 9/11 jokes and dead baby jokes like any goon, but not tampon jokes or transphobia. Still, SedanChair is an unpleasant person on these forums and I hope he/she/it is much nicer to people in real life.

RuanGacho posted:The biggest problem is how powerful the telecom lobby has become in the interim, and why I suggest state level activism. If you need an example of what I mean, look how the Republicans reacted to the Title II order and net neutrality. I know this is a bit old, but this is a really stupid statement. Speaking as a former telecom regulator you can't do it at the state level because the FCC has already preempted virtually all state power to regulate broadband. States are not permitted rate setting authority, consumer protection rule making, it's even questionable whether state truth in billing regs apply. There is no possibility of state action on regulating broadband.

Sure, I'll take the bait. This card combination would probably not end up being the one that earned a point (unless the other cards were basically throwaways), but it could still potentially earn a few laughs if the person reading it out loud (and CAH is generally only fun if the current judge reads out the cards) does so in some sort of 'snobbish old person' voice. At this point the joke has become less about the words on the cards and far more about making fun of the racist caricature it has evoked. Like in that Twitter article about the function of humor, assimilation and alienation are still at work here, but the group being alienated through humor are the racist people who would actually utter such a line in a serious manner. Tying this back into actual politics, it's a similar situation to how many of Trump's quotes have been mentioned in this thread for the express purpose of mocking them (and by extension Trump himself) even though they were originally said in all seriousness. This card combination is only a problem if it is played by someone or awarded points by someone because they somehow think it's funny in and of itself to ban black people from a group (at which point you learn to stay as far away from that person as you possibly can in the future). In this regard, CAH absolutely can and has been used to encourage racism/sexism/etc, but I think it is a mistake to claim that it is inherently a "thinly-veiled racism-enabler" when it can be used for the exact opposite purpose. If you are playing with someone who is likely to take offense with or feel uncomfortable from certain cards regardless of how they are played, the answer is to put those cards to the side and if CAH starts to feel stale you mix in official and unofficial extra sets until you realize that most of these consist of nothing but oddly specific pop culture references and never play again.

This is the worst USPol derail I've seen in months. Trump is crashing and burning so hard we are taking card games. That's good I guess. Meanwhile 70-something Republicans signed a letter asking the RNC chair to defund the Trump campaign and focus on house and Senate seats. But card games guys. That the real news story of the day. =D
