The imperium is no longer connected to SA. People like Test and PL are not in the OP either. It’s nothing against the line members posting here that they got put on the poo poo list, but right now, today, for people jumping into game from SA, it’s a safety concern..

You say that, but seem to be assuming that it's not happening. Not all the raising merry hell happens in Elysium or the SA thread. Some groups bring the sanitizing light of the truth out in the open and push the public perception in the right direction, like this thread has. Other groups use their influence in PM's, private/privileged channels, and other similar methods.

Anyways, I can't really defend the quality of our posting because :lmao: , but it's simply not true to say that everyone left in the Imperium are Mittani bootlickers who had lovely takes in the QA threads.

It is fair to say that the Mittani bootlickers who had lovely takes in the QA threads are still there and still active on Reddit, literally right now. And when we say lovely takes lets make no mistake, about it, I have had racism and homophobia thrown at me by people happily wearing goon tags after the meta show in a thread I made on Reddit about it. One imperium member got very upset at merc for not doubling down on the transphobia and was of the opinion that he was less of a man because of it.

Only you can’t see that because Reddit mods “cleaned” the thread.


Until this stops, you can all go do one quite frankly, because it does not fit into SA’s 2022 ideals.

i tested in the 99.9th percentile for English consistently thru school i actually think in words in my head and sounds is a visual-spatial thing,
i think i might have a mild kinda synesthesia thing but I've never gotten tested for it i can read in big chunks is rhe best way to describe it?

I can remember when a movie came out pretty much forever if i see the year in parentheses after the title once i just remember the shape

it's how i was so good at eve market stuff

i just popped through pages and looked at the contour of the amount/price/age of the orders& can read the order page like a snapshot -moment of the order history and could kinda track the shape in my head

I've never met a person who reads as quickly as me I'm not kidding it always made me feel kind weird as a kid

by 1st grade they just let me read books during all the phonics reading stuff id crush 1 goosebumps during the hour they did it

read the 4th harry potter book the day it came out, i turned 11y/o the week before, i read the 5th one in a day too

u witnessing a new breed rh


anyone hirin' lmfao


im terrible at remembering stuff i hear comparatively because I've gotta kind of translate it all to text in my head is that a thing
I've never asked anybody what it is

Are you me?

I have a partial photographic memory and I think you have too, no one with this is the same but you may recognise the next bit.

I don’t read words I read entire paragraphs of text at once, like the shape of the letters in the big block gets fed in and reading comprehension happens. When I was a kid I could break world reading records but I wouldn’t let my school take it further because they were freaking me out.

I can often remember images of things I’ve seen like snapshots or movies in my head.

I cannot spell and even worse is maths, my brain can’t seem to see individual letters or numbers so I have to use a calculator very slowly for even addition. It is also super random as to what gets retained, names go but I’ll be able to recall a random photograph in a book with perfect clarity 20 years on.

:ccp:

Has the Mac experience improved any since they rolled out the native client last year? I used the old pre-native client a few times to run an alt on the side and always had to crank everything down to get decent performance, even on a 2019 MBP.

iirc this is a 2018 iMac. It's much better in browser for graphic and performance but your overview and chat stuff is gimped. With the client you can run most things at medium even at 4k in window, hit control f and reduce the size of window till fps goes up. I don't know why but it runs a lot cooler on Mac than on my PC, as a deeply unqualified guess I would think that not having to use legacy code is the reason for that.

What a lot of us took away from the last thread was the healing and forgiveness within this particular group on SA.

Right now what goonswarm does is not the SA goon's concern, let them do their thing and we can now build on a foundation that a week ago literally no one would have seen coming. Second chances for us and ours is a theme, yes we know that this could bite us in the arse, all of us have played eve long enough to know the risks, but on a human level we are going to do the decent thing.

I think we should focus on mocking on the absolute weapons naming stations as if the Mittani is the victim. Let’s not lose sight of the simple fact that he openly posted the kind of dreadful poo poo in public multiple times that would have got anyone fired in eve or real life.

These people clearly still think he was right, and until they get yeeted out if GS it’s very publicly mocking this new HR group and baiting them as meaningless
