At least our new boss lets us occasionally delve into politics knowing that we're adult enough to not descend into stupidity. Adiabatic's desire to quench all discussion and always both sides stuff was garbage.

*edit: I'm sure he's a good dude but he freaked out a lot for a mod, escaping all this is obviously better for him.

There's a billion other places on the internet to argue with other shitheads about politics. I didn't mind it personally and liked the "safe haven" aspect. Wes was chill for the most part.

ehhhhhhhh but politics is everywhere, you can't run and hide from it and to pretend you can suggests the decisions made don't affect you or you're cool with how things are (and you really shouldn't be). it's also nice to discuss it with people you know rather than with people you don't. Yes there are specific political forums but the mods there don't threaten probes when you talk about other subjects do they? He was definitely far too keen to squash any political discussion even if it was benign in nature and that's either poor modding or an inherent desire to avoid other people's views because they didn't align with his.

Elmnt80 is far more chill about things and doesn't seem to feel the need to treat anyone like a kid. Definite improvement.

*edit: oh and Cat Interceptor is OK I guess :v:

Me too, new music is pretty much crap...

Whoa now, it's not that new music is crap but more tastes change (or don't) and the stuff getting all the radio play being the generic, non-threatening stuff that's not really interesting. In the past few years I've added so much fan0astict music to my collection, it has been great! You definitely have to go looking to find the good stuff which is why "it's all crap" is such a common opinion to see. I pride myself in hunting out stuff though so I get why not everyone does it.

I was always under the impression that it was septic tank because Americans have historically always been 'full of poo poo'. :shrug:
