Cheers, thanks for sharing - sounds like the problem I had with The Orville

Hmm, might have to give it a shot sometime then.

Thanks

Isn’t lowerdecks like…the gayest of the bunch? (I’ve only seen discovery S1, S2, and SNW first episode)

Is there actually anything salvageable?

Should a criminal be treated differently if we determine their motivation was “terrorism” versus “regular criminality”?

What benefit does society derive from using the category of terrorist?

Akshully if you want to get technical, records of acts of terrorism go back millennia, and in fact a familiar name shows up even back then

While terrorism is not normally thought of as a phenomenon that was prevalent in the ancient world, there are at least some examples of it from early periods of history. There were secret societies in ancient China that worked against early dynasties, but their revolts involved conventional warfare, and there is no indication that anti-government activities involved the use of any terrorist techniques.1 The clearest indications of early uses of terrorism in ancient times came from the internal politics of Rome during some periods of the Republic, Jewish revolts in the Eastern Mediterranean first against the Seleucid Greeks and then against its incorporation into the Roman Empire, and battles between different factions in the Eastern Roman/Byzantine Empire. In these cases there is little doubt that organized groups were using violence directed toward target audiences beyond the immediate victims in order to achieve political objectives. In these cases the violence was frequently organized and widespread enough to meet the criteria for terrorism.

Terrorism, specifically unaffiliated with government actors, should be a category.

Hell, why exclude the government actors? They’re the number one cause of terrorism as far as I can tell.

Honestly I’m not even sure the category of “terrorist” is a valuable one. It’s just “random murder/acts of violence for ideological reasons” and murder/violence is already illegal

I’m not sure how much, if at all, someone’s “ideology” should factor into whether or not they are punished for their actions

We managed just fine for 250+ years without the concept of “terrorism”

Well, my main point is that “the label ‘terrorist’ applies to anyone the government doesn’t like”.

The founding fathers were “terrorists” to the British monarchy

Jesus was a “terrorist” to the pharisees

And so on

Dude, the government has labeled people as terrorists in this country for thinking that schools shouldn’t cut the dicks off of kids without their parent’s permission. You should be a bit more circumspect…

while using mass migration as a clientele group (remember they were still counted in the census)

They’ll yap and yap and yap about “mUh 3/5ths cOmPrOmiSe” but they’ll never tell you which side wanted them to be counted and which side didn’t.

Looks possible, with some fiddling:

Here’s my comment from that thread (it’s got everything needed to get started) :

Hey gamers. Considering the pretty positive reception on the last post, I figured it was worth a shot to get this going. Basic outline of things:

The game is VPX - aka Visual Pinball 10

Available here:

https://github.com/vpinball/vpinball/releases

The idea is to include both an older and a newer table for each tournament. For this first tournament I picked some fun ones:

Star Trek: 25th Anniversary (Data East, 1991)

Table available here: https://vpuniverse.com/forums/topic/8826-new-vpx-alertstar-trek-25th-anniversary-data-east-1991/

ROM available here: https://vpuniverse.com/files/file/1467-trek_201zip/

Big Buck Hunter Pro (Stern, 2010)

Table available here: https://vpuniverse.com/files/file/18215-big-buck-hunter-pro-stern-2010/

ROM available here: https://vpuniverse.com/files/file/3472-big-buck-hunter-pro-v17/

Post your high scores to c/HighScore (so we don’t clog up c/gaming). Post as many scores as you want, for one or both tables. Two weeks from now (~Feb 7th) I’ll go through the scores, congratulate the two highest, and we can pick the next set of tables. Feel free to post table suggestions in this thread, call someone out to settle your differences on the playfield, talk shop, whatever

If anyone needs help getting it running feel free to ask!

Tables go, unzipped, into the /Tables folder

Roms go, zipped (they should download like this) into the /VPinMAME/roms folder

You then open the table file using the VPX editor, and hit the play button

iirc, by default, the controls are (4) or (5) to add credits, (1) to start the game, (enter) to use the plunger, and the flippers are the left and right shift keys

Controls can be changed by going to Preferences > Configure Keys, Nudge, and DOF in the editor

tom holland

…is wrong with these people

If one race gets their own country then every race gets their own country. If every race gets their own country then pissraelis have no right to complain about Palestinians wanting to live in Palestine.

Zionism is hypocrisy manifest

It is literally “rules for thee, not rules for me” in the form of a country (a country who, btw, ran international child rape blackmail rings in order to infiltrate and exert influence over other countries)

H1Bs? Try H1Goa’ulds

The real “woke right” are all these guys with funny sounding last names complaining about shit that a tranny would complain about, using the same words a tranny would use

Open the sidebar

“Manage Settings”

Scroll to near the bottom

Change “Community Visibility” to Public

Good point, I wrote that assuming OP meant youtube (in which case I think he could still download the auto-generated captions for a similar result), but yeah idk how well that would work for videos without any subtitles available for whatever reason

You’re probably better off downloading a video’s subtitles (.SRT file) and running that through a text translator than finding anything that can deal with videos, handle them well, and do it for free, which is to say no I don’t know any sites that offer this ability

19 THOUSAND comments across 10 posts in 2 hours… other than the shills and bots (of course comprising a large percent of the “engagement” in this screenshot, as you elude to), what in the fuck could these retards think they have to say that’s worth saying? Why do so many people think anyone wants to hear about the inane gibberish that flows through their skull?

You mean like Richard Nixon’s pardon?

“Mods are asleep, post sinks”

Now does it make sense he wanted to whistleblow about something that didn’t exist, which he made up? No not really. Of course he might just have gone insane. But that doesn’t appear to be the case, and you can’t make that claim just because the SpecOps whistleblower is whistleblowing about something you haven’t heard about.

Add to that the 2nd, far faker seeming “manifesto” released by the sheriff’s dept. Very sus.
