I feel for Todd. I have no notion of his politics, but it doesn't really matter. This was supposed to be his magnum opus, but you can't build a game like Starfield alone. Imagine trying to pull a project like this together, and you can only get this current gen of writers without the brass firing you if you object. I wonder if he's come to assume modders will fix shit.

I know I'm pissing into the wind here, but what if I do know Frank's execution was illegitimate from a legal perspective? His conviction was legitimate, and even his posthumous pardon in the 80s did not include an exoneration. All that having been said, he did have his sentence commuted prior to his open-source hanging.

Still, I'm not sure how anything I said could be an obvious rule 12 violation.

a modded version with the spyware removed

What trump is trying to say here is: Windows 10 LTSC with a KMS activation script and disabled telemetry (something you can only truly do with the LTSC version). No MS will not sell you this version, yarr Matey!

Edit: These are my presumptuous interpretations of trump's comment, not an endorsement of anything that might be uncouth or cost MS money.

I hope you're referencing this . A Man for All Seasons is an excellent movie.

Mary Phagan was raped and murdered by Leo Frank. To this day Frank is the ADL's foundational hero.

The ADL: founded because the lily white ATL police department, prosecutors, jury and even the local Klahn didn't buy one Jewish boy's legal defense consisting of, "the nigger did it."

I'm trying to imagine Arius or even Luther saying, "But what if buttsex is really what Jesus was all about?"

Fair enough. I saw your Starfield post but skipped it because I'm firmly in the "only buy Bethesda games after 12-18 months" camp.

Welcome back Imp. A number of years ago /pol/ figured out that shills that could not resort to the usual shaming tactics (i.e. "you're racist/sexist/bigoted/etc") to control opinions found a new approach: a never-ending cascade of irrelevant topics. You see, if you just flood a community with enough noise, no one can pick up the signal.

Now, I know you are your own master, but you really up the signal/noise ratio around here. At least you're not a paid shill.

Things like #bantheadl are obviously orchestrated by -- wait for it-- the ADL. I'm not going to get bogged down arguing something about the JQ: we know that groups like ADL or JIDF thrive on the perception of "antisemitism". It would be much more believable if #whywastheADLfounded was trending.

PS-- Where is .win's format guide? I don't know how to post proper hyperlinks.

Edit: Learned how to hyperlink here.

they had to go to boarding school.

This is essentially the complaint around these schools. The pedogeological approach of these schools came directly from 19th century social reformers -- or as we call them today -- progressives. Many of the "cruel" conditions such as limited heating, meager food, and liberal use corporal punishment could be found at schools like Eaton or any other boarding school for the children of English aristocrats. I suspect that the rural and underfunded nature of the Canadian residential schools exacerbated these problems, but the systems were not intentionally designed to be shitholes.

Go therefore to the intersections of the highways, and as many as you may find, invite to the marriage feast.' Those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together as many as they found, both bad and good. The wedding was filled with guests. But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who didn't have on wedding clothing, and he said to him, 'Friend, how did you come in here not wearing wedding clothing?' He was speechless. Then the king said to the servants, 'Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and throw him into the outer darkness; there is where the weeping and grinding of teeth will be.' " — Matthew 22:1-14

You don't see this one very much anymore. Likewise, "let he who is without sin cast the first stone" is a perennial favorite, leaving out Christ's final words to the adulteress: "go and sin no more."

This. If I recall correctly, she is from a large Catholic family. Well-to-do Catholics in the West are deep into globohomo NGOs. It's possible she broke from her upbringing and went proper reactionary, but you'd expect to see more than "women shouldn't vote" and old manosphere talking points if that were the case.

Those are all pretty good. To be honest I didn't want to scare people off with the prominent featuring of Jews in his Personal Classics; on the other hand, I love his response to his website being called a “White Supremacist website” by the Washington Post:

After pointing this out to my correspondent, I also noted that a good 10% or more of our writers were probably “White Nationalists,” and perhaps a few of them might even arguably be labeled “White Supremacists.” So although Boot’s description of our website was certainly wrong, it was probably less wrong than the vast majority of his other writing, which was typically focused on American military policy and the Middle East.

Black and living in a highly-policed community.”

How many of these people actually believe that civilized people go around intentionally making their lives worse for shits and giggles, rather than that their daily behavior is so disruptive that it must be stopped lest we all go back to being savages? I know there are grifters, but millions of useful idiots are starting to scare me more.

If you combined N95 with additional PPE and used it all properly and only for short periods and removed the N95/PPE properly with decontamination procedures, it would reduce transmission. Know anyone that did that? Like I said, uncomfortable topics for those who thought their bit of blue paper was a magic charm.

The men whom the people ought to choose to represent them are too busy to take the jobs. But the politician is waiting for it. He's the pestilence of modern times. What we should try to do is make politics as local as possible. Keep the politicians near enough to kick them. The villagers who met under the village tree could also hang their politicians to the tree. It's terrible to contemplate how few politicians are hung today.

Yeah, these guys are assets; the handlers come from rich families. Consider Bill Ayers or Susan Rosenberg. They were knee deep in leftist political violence in the 70s; now they have endowed chairs.

One of these things is not like the other, but delving into that would raise uncomfortable questions for Branch Covidians.

Well, something has to give. They are betting the farm that it won't be what I hope it is.
