Typical. Accusing us of hax just cause they're losing.

Not even Newsom. He's Macron. Doesn't matter how big the protests get: he still always gets his way.

The ones saying that were given free ammo by the wildly overblown claims as to the size of the convoys. Lefty Canadian forums right now are full of smug vaxists gloating about how it's nowhere near 50 000 trucks. They're right: It's not. It's still the biggest protest in Canadian history, but whoever started spreading that number around wasn't doing the truckers any PR favours.

It is true that young men are more prone to risky behavior, which insurance companies don't like despite the fact that women's risk-averse behavior probably causes just as many accidents.

It's not. That's the point. Muslims everywhere like to gloat about how upright and moral they are compared to the degeneracy that has overtaken the West, but that just makes them hypocrites as well as degenerates themselves. This phenomenon has been rotting away at the core of Islam since its inception. There has never been a time when Muslim leaders have lived up to the ideals they seek to force on the rest of the world.

Friendly reminder that the religious and political elite across all Muslim societies, including the leaders of puritanical religious movements, regularly engage in clandestine homosexual activities, not to mention routine rape, pedophilia (against both sexes) and incest.

Griggs just doesn't get it. This is Rick and Morty somehow actually trolling the leftists because reasons and Jeremy clearly just isn't high IQ enough to understand this unbelievably based and highbrow humor.

I paid Peter Dinklage for set of mithril chainmail more than a year ago and he still hasn't delivered. Maybe he should spend less time doing interviews and more time at the forge.

I think they might be taking, "Here we are now: Entertain us" a little too seriously.

I'd offer you some oil to keep your gaslight burning, but I'm concerned you might report me for Rule 3, given that you clearly don't understand the distinction between fiction and nonfiction or between literal and figurative. Either that, or you're being deliberately obtuse.

Once again, these laws are applied with a distinction in mind between discussing violence that occurs in media and in actively promoting violence in the real world. The way the rule is applied here is no different.

The difference between discussing violence in media and inciting or condoning violence has also been established in legal precedents, and it's not being applied here in any way that is novel or unprecedented. There is a difference between subjectivity and common sense.

Saying that a book says something is different from saying you agree with it or that you condone it irl.

We can say that SJWs are mentally deranged, because SJWs don't count as an "identity group" as that term seems to be defined under Rule 16. However, as I said above, I actually agree with you about 16 and I think it should be tweaked a bit.

My major concern is that any substantial overhaul would lead to the level of discussion in the community being degraded and retarded by feds and teenaged edgelords begging for attention.

The rule is not being applied subjectively that I can see.

I disagree. I think it's pretty fairly applied, considering that there's a sizeable subset of almost exclusively bad-faith users who would, given the opportunity, spend hours every day postimg about nothing other than what they would like to do to every member of a certain ethnoreligious group in a deliberate and adolescent effort to shit up the place and take it over.

You might as well invite every commie lunatic and unindicted co-conspirator to come on here and start fedposting.

I have my issues with Rule 16, but loosening Rule 2 would only unleash a shitstorm, and lead to a situation where we need more moderation, not less.

Imagine being the ordinary Joe Schmo janitor who has to clean that up because between the teachers with 2 degrees and the kids, you're the only one in the school with any goddamn common sense.

Walking vortex of neuroticism

Much more than that, Lanfear is an obsessive with a classic case of Borderline Personality Disorder. She is incapable of regulating her own emotions and does everything by extremes. She is also incapable of feeling love or compassion for anyone other than herself, and effectively perceives the rest of the world and everyone in it as a reflection of her own desires.

She doesn't love Lews Therin Telamon: she loves the idea of him, and of the power that he wields. She envisions a future with him and her together, the most powerful male and female channellers using the most powerful sa'angreal ever created to magnify their power, destroying the Dark One and the Creator and ruling over the world as the new gods.

This is why she reacts so badly when Lews Therin rejects her, not once, but twice. She is obsessed with the idea of the power that she thinks he can provide her with, and she can't get it from anywhere else, and she can't get over his rejection of her because she can't imagine that anyone wouldn't want that kind of power.

Modern Hollywood could never portray that character faithfully, because she is too much like them. Lanfear is Hillary Clinton with superpowers, the kind of person who would burn down the whole world if she got to be queen of the ashes. None of the scriptwriters for this show possess enough self-awareness to be able to conceive of such a character, even though, being where they are, they're surrounded by exactly that personality type.
