My personal favorite in the whole extended thread (apologies archive can only capture so much) is someone legitimately trying to argue that Harry Potter is a right-wing work because he didn't dismantle the magical government in favor of a magical communist utopia.

Marketplace of ideas, my dude.

Sucks when SocJus try to regulate which ideas are allowed and it sucks when we do too.

It seems unfortunate that there are so many here willing to shirk their principles just to get a win.

Don't tell me, communists don't allow opposing viewpoints. They don't allow opposition. Therefore we should not tolerate them?

See, we're back to getting the paradox of tolerance just as wrong as the SocJus crowd do. If someone wants to put up a logical argument for communism, let them. Let the argument stand on its own merits. Don't just hammer down censorship and destruction because it's one of "their" arguments.

I feel like we've gone full circle and are mass misquoting the paradox of tolerance just like them.

If people want to present an argument for a communist system, let them. If their ideas work then great and if they don't then sure. We hate when they try to regulate the marketplace of ideas so I have a lot of trouble getting behind anyone who does even if they agree with us.

On the one hand, sure.

On the other, their problems might also go away if they had a modicum of willpower to think for themselves and stand up when authority figures tell them wrong.

If I remember didn't they go out of their way to get a black stuntwoman for Deadpool 2? And didn't she kill herself on set because she wasn't good enough?

I am quite aware that there is every chance that this will be total and complete bullshit, but I figure it's better to post it on the offchance and be proven wrong.

Not an expert but I shall try. I will say right from the top that this could all be nothing, call all be a troll, who knows.

In short a cryptocurrency wallet with the ID EPSTEIN and tracker ID WHACKD (exactly what those are doesn't matter for this but they're labels associated with the wallet) has just woken up after not doing anything for years, and is sending small amounts of cryptocurrency to seemingly random addresses. There are people who claim that the ID to find to this wallet was layered into the Q image which was the last post on McAfee's instagram.

At around the same time, a torrent with the label NCSWIC and size 31TB seems to have woken up. NCSWIC being an initialism for "nothing can stop what is coming". It is worth noting that in 2019, McAfee told everyone that he had 31TB of dirt on the elites tied up to a dead man's switch.

The theory is that the servers hosting that torrent were programmed to wake up when they recieved crypto from the wallet in question, and that the dirt is now up on a torrent (notoriously hard to take down) with the knowledge on how to find it baked into the Etherium blockchain (impossible to take down withotu destroying the entire cryptocurrency); and that that torrent is now out there with all of the dirt on the elites.

Having said all that, to say this requires a pinch of salt is the understatement of the century. It's all borderline impossible to verify without actually looking at the files of the torrent, and my own humble search has returned no results for the name NCWIC.

Don't know what he knew. But he did repeatedly say that he was fine and happy even in prison and that if he "suicided" it wasn't him that did it.

Like the dude went as far as getting the word "whacked" tattooed on his arm to prove the point.

I'd argue Weinstein was widespread enough for it to not matter.

It was a slightly tongue-in-cheek comment as is, mind.

You can tell this is fake because Biden got through that sentence without needing to read it off a flashcard.

Just have it be the same as factorio except every so often there's a 50% chance that the game will delete your save and crash.

I assume the only backing for point number 2 is mass hysteria.

In fairness, while students unions across the UK are a joke, the one in Lancaster stands alone as being ridiculous and widely hated by the student base.

On the national student survey (filled in by students as they leave the university), Lancaster is dragged down about 10% just from the single question about the students union.

Let's not forget the people who like "much controversial" content and are SocJus opposed to the people who dislike it will bomb it with 10/10 for the greater good regardless of what they actually think of it.

Nope, and I publish a few mods in the New Vegas nexus myself and have never even seen that as an option.

I wouldn't be too sure. The types of people who have a consensus filter on their brain sure but that's no different from now. But I'd be surprised if there isn't a generation of rebelling against that status quo.

The word is that GRRM refuses to be in the same room as D&D and has been that way for a good few years before the finale. And there's plenty of rumors of D&D creeping on the young and naked women but it's Hollywood so it'd be more surprising if they didn't.

The resolution of GoT is much simpler though. D&D started getting much better paid offers to do other projects, and so they decided to rush Game of Thrones to an end so they could go get that money. My guess is they were too proud to let someone else take over, which is a common trope among showrunners.

Just assume everything they said about planning and resolutions is BS, because it probably is.
