Interesting read, but this one particular passage stood out to me :

"I am ex military so I used to be in really great shape until my thyroid was cooked by the nuclear ship I served on via radiation leak. This made me fat but really never affected my health in any serious way."

Unless he served in the Russian Navy this is complete and utter bullshit. Our carriers and submarines don't just spring radiation leaks. The dude was a Fire Controls Technician and would not be hanging out in the spaces close enough to the reactor compartment to be impacted by the fake leak.

Also... a "radiation leak" only damaged his thyroid, and avoided all the other things that are far more prone to radiation damage? That's some very discriminatory radiation!

Has crobbers and Sandler done anything dumb recently? I miss obsessively reading the thousands of pages posts that this topic generated on a regular basis, but I quit my job and now no longer have the time. If can get summary, would be appreciative.

Getting a radiation dosage wouldn't "cook his thyroid" it would cook him all over. You get a hosed thyroid by ingesting radioactive iodine following a nuclear leak/blast, and due to the short half life that danger is mostly gone after 2 weeks. Unless he worked in the Chernobyl cleanup it's bullshit.

I worked over Reactor 1 during my 3 years there. I was about 10 feet away. I was not a radiation worker so I never was given a dosimeter to wear. The ship was built during the cold war to escort Nuke carriers.
It was never documented so I, to this day get nothing from the government for it. Two others that worked in my department have exactly the same condition. It affects most of the soft glands, thyroid is the easiest to go first.
VA has denied my claim because the ship has been decommissioned since 1999. No way to prove it now.

"I have empirical evidence that my thyroid was hosed due to being bitten by a radioactive submarine due to two other crewmates 'Two others that worked in my department' also having radioactive nuclear sub thyroids, yet because the sub ship was decommissioned, I can't get any compensation."

I just got censured on the Frontier forums for "being off topic" for using the idiom "pissing on your back and telling you it's raining" in relation to Chris Roberts lying to backers.

I wouldn't normally say anything, I'm not one for stirring up inter forum drama, but it's quite frustrating and I feel like I have to get "Yaffle is a loving idiot" off my chest somewhere... and it sure as gently caress isn't going to be over there in loving Stasi land.

Well they have to have different moderation since they are a company's forums and they sell a product.

They have to try and walk a fine line between the weirdo stalker cult of backers that fetishize Derek Smart and start calling the offices whenever Derek posts on their forums, and letting outright making GBS threads on a competitor take place and appear "Sanctioned"

Although that comment shouldn't be moderated because it's an accurate idiom to describe what is happening and is in no way off-topic, since "Star Citizen" itself is that exact thing.

I've flat out stated that Chris Roberts is a lying scammer without getting an infraction for it, so it's not for making GBS threads on a competitor.

This. You have to use fairly elaborate and benign circumscriptions to avoid their ire — simple censoring isn't enough.

I didn't get censured for swearing, I got censured for being off topic.

He removed the post where I repeated the idiom without swearing too (unless "wee" is swearing now). He just doesn't like idioms I guess, maybe they murdered his dog or something.

edit: enough anyway. I just wanted to call Yaffle a loving moron for cathartic reasons, it's not that important.

Ah well… yes, that happens too when you're getting to close to the mark. :D
It could have been because the entire discussion leading up to it was borderline OT, but one would have thought they would have removed your revised statement too in that case.

On my ship we actually placed dosimeters all around the perimeter of the spaces adjoining the RX compartment, and the ELTs did monthly neutron surveys as well. The dosimeters were read and the values recorded. The engineers would not just "forget" to install and design shielding around the RC either, regardless of how incompetent the government and Navy are.

Nah, he used to be seriously pro-SC and posted in the same style as LogicSol and other retarded vulcans. But as the game release date slips forward more and more into the future he has become bored and now is faking a "I don't give a poo poo" trolling attitude. If SC shows any loving progress he'll be back, like a reincarnated MoMA, to his usual self.

I usually post really little replies to him just to see how long the answer (that I don't read) will be. I'm getting something like a 1:30 ratio. Pure gold!
