Eh...two stills with no real discerning information between them? I'll withold judgement for now. For all we know this is 'Heavily modded PC' vs. 'Nintendo Switch.' But I'm also less fussed over graphics than the average person.

Not that I'm hopeful about it mind you, but I won't leap to conclusions based off a single snapshot.

Didn't even read what he said

Well, that seems to be on you.

He used multiple quotes when told not to.

I don't remember signing a waiver that you get to decide on such things.

I'm gonna drop ya.

That looks a lot more like the typical SJW 'I don't want to deal with this, blocked' response.
With a little trolling added in.

Betting against catastrophe is always a good idea, but conclusively asserting that it's a "hoax" with absolutely nothing to back it up is also pretty absurd.

Remember how we were supposed to be underwater in 12 years? The hole in the o-zone layer to destroy us all? Melting polar ice caps? There may have been some nuggets of truth hidden away in them, but frankly, calling them a hoax is being gentle. 'Directed lies to seize assets' would be closer to the truth.

We could always pollute less and 'conserve' more. The problem is that at the present, it's being pushed way past the point of vastly diminishing returns. But for most people, it's just a religion - putting plastic in a separate garbage bin is their good deed of the week.

Few arguments there, I was thinking more along the lines of all these stupid masks getting put into recycle bins and pushing for more items to be made from locally recycled material instead of cheap plastic from China.

There is not really a uniform set of 'data' that we can speak about.

Fair, I wasn't communicating clearly there. "Any information about CC published by mass media and/or that push for political control rather than targeted improvements" won't be taken at face value. If it shows up in a science magazine, it's a maybe. If it's a published paper, I'll at least humor the idea and see if it remains internally consistent. If it comes from a politician's or celebrity's lips, I would rather eat fresh vomit than accept it.

That said, I can't blame those that just go 'It's a hoax' still. Because after fifty years of Chicken Little screaming for attention, you either tune him out or you become the next Chicken Little.

I mean, 'We're doomed' has been repeated regularly over the last 50 years and has yet to manifest in any conceivable way, they just move to the next big lie. You can't blame some people for going 'It's a hoax, and will blow over the last six times.' when Chicken Little is still screaming his head off about it.

Yeah, we could stand to pollute less and conserve more, but I'll be damned if I ever take CC's data at face value.

See, I get what you're saying and I largely agree, but this is one of those blatant lies that are just insulting to the average person's intelligence. He could've gone with 'It's an art installment' or similar, and gotten far less raised eyebrows.

I feel like a salesman who takes a rusted out husk of a car on two cinderblocks and tries to pitch that 'It runs great, it just needs a little TLC' will lose out on the sale he could've made if he'd just put it out there as scrap metal, as well as any sales from others that might've been suckered in by less obvious lies.

Not really. If you read the article, it states their COVID issues have been pretty light...but their tourism industry in particular has taken a hit, so they spent the money to try and bring in more tourists.

If it's embezzlement, it's weird embezzlement that would still serve the purpose, and I could see a statue that big being that pricy.

Sadly true. KiA2 isn't even immune, and it's a sad state of affairs.

Yes. But enough about Reddit.

More seriously, I haven't kept up with the drama. The Superstraight and LGBdroptheT subs are the main things I follow there, but I do remember the founder trying to excuse a lot of his failings on the 'Pyramid of Debate' and banning folks, but at the same time it's one of the few semi-viable lifeboats away from Pedo-infested Reddit.

Hard to argue that. Impossible is hyper-fixating on one hole in the boat, when in truth there's 13 different leaks that have sprung up, and that's just the ones we can see.

They claim everything else without evidence, why would David-Me's meltdown be much different?

As for seeing the KiA mods as enemies...well, frankly, they strangled how many thousands of subscribers out of KiA with the bloated rules? They are at best misguided, at worst they are reprobates who got a taste of power and decided it elevated them above the others. And with how many went along with Raraa, I'm inclined towards the latter.

You say it's the height of folly to consider them the enemy. I say it's the height of folly to allow those who have already betrayed you once to guard your flank. And hey, remember how they considered KiA2 posters to be 'brigaders?' I believe a certain BananaDyne got banned from KiA Prime just for posting on KiA2. "Totalitarians aren't generally known for their finesse."

As I said, I don't have the link anymore, but I was able to find one of her own comments in a screenshot.

It's not great evidence, but there's literally just the (now-deleted) tweet for evidence that she was a juror, and we really should be better about not taking the bait. And you're misquoting her pretty badly too.

4chan also called you a fag, and you're not even a mod!

Dammit, I can't find the links now. Yeah, it wasn't even a trial, it was a class activity that was a mock trial. OP is drastically wrong on this one, taken in by a random tweet.

I think we all agree she's insane, but criminy fuckwits she needs to be charged.

I'd add that the tone of the moderators after that vote poured gasoline on the fire to prove how little they thought of those that dissent. A more sane set of mods might have been able to explain how it was more work than expected to allow Option 4 and wasn't feasible in the long run, but then-Admin Raraara burned all goodwill with his 'Aussie Acidity' nonsense by just mocking people that didn't appreciate the vote being overturned, and the rest of the mods joined in.

So yeah, as far as a lot of us are concerned, it would've been better if Half-KiA had gone down with David-Me. It's not like they've actually done anything in the last 3 years, and probably longer.

Antifa lies on social media, news at 11. That said, Imgur is the epitome of a certain level of intellect.

To be fair, leftists should've been going to jail a long time ago. But yeah, once they just started turning a blind eye to Antifa riots is when I started going 'Okay, maybe vigilante justice needs to start making a comeback until they remember why we agreed to outsource violence a long time ago.'

Not gonna lie, I'm fairly anti-union myself. But it's one of those things where the worst a union can do is compared to the worst the company can do, and see which is the lesser of two evils.

With Amazon, I'm pretty sure Old Scratch himself is taking notes so I'd accept a Union there. But maybe not for, say, Gamestop.

Oh hey, you've started posting over here too! Glad to see it. Realizing I wouldn't see the daily update of craziness was the only part that made me regret finally giving up my Reddit account.
