Who actually believes that women were put into asylums for wearing pants?

They ought be.

Same difference

It's not, and the fact that you think that way is why you make life difficult for yourself.

you're defending both its inclusion

I am not at all. I'm saying Ableist went about it in the wrong way.

If he wanted to succeed, he would have gone to talk immediately after his edit was reverted the first time. It would have maintained a civil tone and tried to cast Dartagnan and Ophiuchus as being just as political as they're accusing him of being.

Then, once Newer and Maul came into the picture, he should have appealed to them that the page should be removed ENTIRELY because there's no point for culture war bullshit to even be on 1d6 anymore now that we have the ability to suppress edit trolls. And then when they think that's excessive, you back down from the big sell and pitch a minimal edit.

That, is how you win.

But I'm not going to bat for either of you because you've already turned the moderates against you with your bull-in-china-shop antics. You two hate moderates? Fine. Good luck winning without them.


I can see from your comment activity that, compared to me, you're new. So I'll forgive your attacks as ignorance.

Because if you knew my opinions, even you would be like "jesus fuck man, wtf is wrong with you". But I KNOW THAT so I am more circumspect.

And I'm saying you went about it in the wrong way, created a lot of knee jerk opposition, and now instead of being able to have a serious conversation, anything you say on the topic will just be ignored.

Starting an edit war was your first mistake.

Now you can't distinguish between the people who disagree with you politically and the people who disagree with you being political.

We control

If that were true you'd be running a clone of 1d4.

If you hurry you might still get one set up before theirs becomes the prevailing successor.

Ableist... I'm Piroko. I've been managing content on 1d4 on various topics for a decade. And while Newer isn't a person I agree with all the time, I've never known him to not be reasonable if you are also reasonable.

If you're having a fight with him it's because you're picking a fight.

I read the history.

Newer and Klink told you to chill the fuck out and you forged on. That alone tells me literally everything I need to know.

I got into an edit war

.........

I don't think you understand the degree of hatred there is for edit war bullshit in that community. For a decade they have had no recourse against edit war shit because Root was a deadbeat, and now that they do your first impulse was to go edit war.

And you get mad when they retaliate against your edit warring.

Here's what you should have done:

AFTER YOUR CHANGE WAS REVERTED, YOU SHOULD HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE REVERT. Win the discussion on discord or talk, and only THEN move against the revert.

The fact that you went edit-war as your first impulse MAKES YOU THE ASSHOLE.

When I was in the Air Force I had a good friend who was very popular with the ladies.

Yes, I believe we all know how that works.

Not where the decisions of men are concerned.

Man is too much like god. To god's consternation.

You think god has the power to prevent men from being stupid or evil? That's... Calvinism. And I don't think anyone in THIS community is depressed enough to truly believe you're just god's sock puppet in an utterly deterministic universe.

God presents a path. Men choose to walk it. Or not. It wouldn't be the first or last time someone who was close enough to the source to know better took a message and ran with it for their own ends.

Paul did not aim to spread Christ's message. He aimed to create a Church of Christ. That's not the same thing.

You don't get from Christ's words to Quakers being executed for heresy without Paul.

I don't give a damn about your Paulite books. So far as I'm concerned there are three synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke) and John and that's it.

But Paul.... he wasn't at the supper, he doesn't get the title. He was a fanboy at best, a tool of the anti-christ at worst. From my perspective you might as well be talking about Joseph Smith.

the Bible is in fact longer than the Sermon on the Mount

Yes, there's also the Sermon on the Plain.

"foremost apostle" Paul

Paul wasn't an apostle.


I have no problem with the restoration of political Christendom, but Catholic lies are over the line.

Like Babylon 5, you kinda need all the establishing material.

Unlike Babylon 5, the first season isn't awful, just dumb.

Also, they keep having dumb episodes. Anything that deals with Dax is inevitably the worst episode of the season. It's a little weird how consistently bad the writers are whenever they have to deal with trill lore.

what is surprising is that it was a unanimous ruling

It really isn't.

This was a "get the fuck off our lawn" ruling, and even the court liberals have to get on board with that reasoning.

Financials are a big part of it.

But at least some of the headcount reduction, at least in 3D, is down to maturation of procedural generation. Even AAA development doesn't necessarily need a staff of thousands of animators and modelers anymore.

You can start with any smartphone or laptop camera. I wouldn't shell out for a unidirectional mic and filter until you've done it a bit and determined if its your thing or not.

I've tried the basic join clubs and shit but frankly, I hate most other people.

High IQ means being lonely a lot.

Have you thought about starting up a video blog and joining the talking-head sphere?

Piroko 6 points ago +7 / -1

My question is, is this real

Seen it, got past it.

I applied for a tech position at Principle Financial and they were doing this video bs. I got past this level and managed to get not only an interview but also an offer. I turned it down because I landed a better offer somewhere else in the time they were deciding.

Japanese people have their unique take on porn

Yes they do, it's basically:

  • Sailor Moon - Perfectly normal.
  • Asuka & Rei - Reason to look down on someone but whatever.
  • Sakura & Tomoyo - Okay now you've crossed a line.
  • Chibi Moon - You sick fuck.
