It's a 12 year old. I worked as a bouncer. There's no need to knee on her neck to get cuffs on her unless they are lovely at their job. (also, LOL at cuffing a girl for getting in a classic slap fight? what the hell?) I had to restrain folks (a lot bigger than a 12 year old girl) and never once did I have to put pressure on their neck. Because it's incredibly dangerous to do so. Why are you defending a hog?

A bunch of Karen’s here (probably white) acting like will slapping wasn’t the funniest thing. Also, calling it “violence” is just a code word to imply he should go to jail, another black person. In other words racism. Real pig energy going on in here. Meanwhile Florida governor just signed the don’t say gay law. That dude should have a lot worse than a slap done to him. (And no mods, that’s not advocating for violence, he’s a loving murderer. Jail is worse than a slap, and he should be in prison).

Eiba posted:Obviously not the only or "most" decisive factor, but it was so close that there were a ton of decisive factors. In a society that actually functioned the way it should, I’m 100% in agreement with you. To be clear here, I have voted in every election that I’ve been legally able to, and always blue. I didn’t like Clinton very much. Still voted for her with bells on. Biden was the bottom choice of that list. Still voted for him and was very happy that he won. We delivered. They failed us, but that doesn’t matter. I got that this was at stake. And I’m a dude. That being said, court isn’t legitimate. Hasn’t been for a long time, but this is a final nail in the old coffin. The other side has no intentions of following the rule of law unless it’s the rule of law that they create. There is no justice system that is affective here anymore. Beyond all of that, climate change is going to end civilization as we know it in the next 50 to 80 years. (I’m being generous here, it’s going to be closer to 20 but will get worse and worse with people pretending it’s fine). The fact that the Republicans did an act of huge violence by overturning row, is being met with infighting by people who generally agree here, and that the mods have made it very clear that you can only have certain kinds of conversations about this none of which are actually effective since we continue to insist on playing by the rules they created shows again that the entire system is stupid and needs to be pulled out because it’s a rotten tree. But people aren’t hungry yet, or at least not enough of them. There are solutions that are effective but people will pearl clutch here if they are brought up, even as hypotheticals, even though on any larger scale, those are the most moral actions people could can take at this point. Instead, it will pass, liberals will donate, assholes will be smug about living in the “good states” and the comfy computer touches in here will continue to more or less be the meme from Chernobyl. “Not great, not terrible” while disproportionately poor people will die at much higher rates because it will effectively be legal to rape them and then force them to have your child. Also to the mods, a lighter hand here in this thread because people are legitimately upset versus getting more heavy handed would be the better approach, if you knew anything about de-escalation tactics. A heavy hand is just very cop like behavior. LionArcher fucked around with this message at 18:18 on May 3, 2022 |

But who cares. It would save a poo poo ton of lives. That’s a hypothetical of course.

The Sean posted:Just as a thought experiment... what if you wanted to ruin actual discussion on this forum as a moderator? What would be effective? Like if you completely want to push some Karl Rove ops to gish gallop and tie people up from expressing leftist/liberal/progressive thought from taking hold, what would you do? Probably some of this poo poo: I got probed today in the Supreme Court thread for pointing out one poster was clearly trolling when he asked, “oh, the Supreme Court justices aren’t legitimate? why not?” And I called him a debate Andy. The mod I’ve never heard of gave me a sixer because quote “seems mean”. The poster who was trolling? Nothing. But this is why I generally stay out of D&D in the first place.

Main Paineframe posted:A great and highly underappreciated way to ruin discussion is to loudly demand to speak to the manager every single time something you disagree with happens, and insist that it be done in public so that everyone else is forced to watch as you make a big show out of dramatically accusing the employees of being out to ruin the entire place on purpose. Few things are more disruptive than Karen energy. It doesn’t matter if it’s not common belief. Furthermore, it’s very obvious they are illegitimate. We have one justice that is only there by one simple trick, a rapist, and a cult member who’s unqualified.

PeterCat posted:I'm probably risking a probe here, but we have a president who has a charge of rape against him that is as credible as the charge against Kavanaugh. Kava wasn’t legitimate for lying under oath, and having over a million dollars of debt mysteriously paid off. The rapist part should have mattered but of course doesn’t. Him perjuring himself technically does. Of course it technically doesn’t under this one weird trick (nobody in power cares.)

Like drat. All three of them perjured themselves. He also is a rapist. That among other reasons is why they’re illegitimate. “The Congress” doesn’t give a poo poo. It feels like you’re trying to do like three different lovely bits, or get me to say something to get myself probed. All of which is lame as gently caress. To what end? Are you pro Congress banning protests? Do you think the Supreme Court did a good thing with roe v wade? Are you an anti choice person?

FLIPADELPHIA posted:The Democratic Party leadership doesn't give a poo poo about helping people. They care about fundraising and decorum. I mean, this should be pretty obvious by now. I know people have been saying this for years but turns out, they were correct the whole time. Exactly. And nobody on the news is any further left of the democratic party expect for maybe John Oliver? He's still a liberal, but about as left as anything mainstream as you get. Literally you're better informed on national issues if you watch Hassan Piker on Twitch than any cable or local news station, with better arguments about why things are the way they are, and why that's generally bad. I have always voted democratic in national elections. I don't regret it, but I'm sure embarrassed that I thought Biden in the first few months seemed like he was doing good. Like holy poo poo, is he delivering below expectations (the low ones) I had. I'm embarrassed. Also, I'm generally staying out of D&D, but I will say thanks to those in this thread who called out a poster who was trying to bait me last night. I thought I was clear enough then, and I appreciate others getting what I was stating. Now that I'm not exhausted, I will say this about intimidation of evil people: (supreme court justices, republicans taking away rights and getting thousands of women killed). At some point in the near future, Mod's are going to have to re-look at their rules about what we can and can't say on here, in hypothetical situations. Basically, the state is acting violently towards over half it's population, (women and other uterus havers) and about to do so in an even more brutal and inhumane manner. Talking about what to do and how best to effectively stop that isn't an act of violence unprovoked, it's an act of self-defense and self preservation. Plenty would make an argument we're already there, but as more horrible laws are passed, it will be more and more obvious. I don't think Row officially being overturned will be the linchpin moment, but there will be another one (or another dozen) that will trigger poo poo being very obviously bad, very quickly. If the mods are going to side with dictator state in that scenario, they should probably admit it now. I'm not trying to start that conversation yet, I'm just pointing out the obvious writing on the wall.

We're heading towards fascism way, way faster than a lot of folks in this thread of the media wants to admit. We're well past this might happen into this is probably going to happen. The liberals (not left, liberals) are utterly unequipped and incompetent to handle what's to come, (and or the ones in charge are fine with it as long as they can continue to get rich and have cheap maids/labor).

Koos Group posted:There are no secret threadbans. If someone is threadbanned it's announced in the thread or noted their sheet (though not in this case because it's a whole batch and it's based on their overall history rather than specific inciting posts). We also try to inform people that undoing of threadbans has occurred by posting in the thread when the user is reported for dodging it. So my question is why PeteCat was unbanned and still unbanned when they've clearly kept up their usual BS.

On the one hand the fascist take over is already halfway happening and 100% going to happen. on the other hand, good guy with a gun is bullshit and when it gets to outright fighting a lot of the "leftist armed types" are going to be the first killed, and won't do any good . You won't be able to unarm this country, but you could do a bunch of things that won't happen. I mean, how many kids died in this country of covid this week? I'm guessing the number is higher than 18. We as a society really don't give a poo poo about anyone other than the preverbal "me".

Failed Imagineer posted:Tell us more facts about guns - I want to know all about calibers, magazine capacities, firing rates Why is this probed? This poster has a good point. Gun owners who don't like being called on the fact that they have a weird fetish try to gatekeep rules about guns by acting if you don't know what gun was used in WW2 you can't be apart of making the rules. Yet another garbage argument. Bottom line, we are all safer by having better gun control laws than you as a gun owner owning a gun. That's not a theory, that's a statistical fact. I don't own a gun, but I know how to use one. I a way better chance of defending my family with a loving wooden sword (because I have training) Or with a knife (again, training) than gun nuts do. Most gun nuts, just like cops are cowards anyway.

If all I had was a rock I would pick it up and go in. I would not be able to live with myself if I did nothing. Very few cops are trained to a level that they can take on a freaking athletic blue belt in even the lamest martial arts. That's why they desperately need their guns and tasers. The few cops that are are almost universal ex military with real training (often who killed people overseas).
