  1. I'm making this argument for the topic of abortion. Abortion only affects the individual choosing to get the abortion, not counting the fetus here for reasons many of us explained earlier. I'm sure you are smart enough to understand how murder differs from that?
  2. Use your critical thinking skills and consider what I probably meant by non-independent. Babies are conscious, or at least way closer to conscious and are actually aware of their surroundings. Most abortions take place before they can even feel pain. I'm not going to argue with people who make stupid comparisons.
  3. Yeah let's compare murder towards terminating the life of a non-independent, unconscious organism the size of a bean. There's no distinction between the two. Lmao.
  4. Or he just said that no one is fighting for taxpayer money to go towards chemo patients, which literally isn't true. Liberals have been advocating for universal health care funding by taxpayer money for a while now. But it's fine, the Republicans in Washington just want cancer patients to go bankrupt in order to survive. Maybe, just maybe it's okay to point the finger at the guy who is contradictive or just saying something blatantly wrong, ...weird huh? No one who wants abortion banned actually fully cares about the baby or the mother. Banning abortion is forcing woman to birth children even if they aren't ready or capable of properly raising them and giving them a decent life. Those children will end up probably being neglected in some way, likely grow up horrifically poor, and even possibly thrown into the horrendously flawed foster care system in this country. Families can be torn apart by an unwanted child. The black community has a notably higher abortion rate while a ton amount of black mothers already have to raise a child on their own. I wonder what would happen to those families if you took their access to abortions away? Oh, but don't worry, conservatives really care about our black communities.. right? Lets not forget what the mother has to deal through. I've had people (mostly men) tell me that mothers get a child aborted for "convenience." That's a word you'll hear thrown a lot from pro-"life" individuals and can't be farther from the truth. Birthing a child takes an incredible physical and emotional toll on the mother and can put their own health and life in jeopardy. That isn't just an inconvenience. People are only against it because of their precious tax money or their own feelings. They don't think for others and consider the actual consequences of banning abortions. It's hilarious how many guys are against a medical procedure that has no effect on their own lives. It contradicts your morals? Don't get an abortion then and find a partner who won't get one either. I don't ever intend on having a child of mine aborted, but my beliefs are rooted in my faith and should stay out of legislation. Individual freedom and choice when it comes to abortion should be protected.
  5. Weird... I wonder which party doesn't want taxpayers funds to go towards providing everyone healthcare, so those chemo patients don't go broke.
  6. Okay, the premium games are pretty good. I think there’s definitely some balancing issues in the game between the two teams but it’s a pretty good game for what it’s worth.
  7. Tried this game last night with a couple friends. Pretty fun, it's cool being the seeker and just watching others. The art style is unique and goofy too. I probably would recommend getting the premium bundle as the free version only has 2 gamemodes, and the bundle is only $8. It's worth it because you only need the host to have premium to play all of the gamemodes and maps. I'm going to buy premium tonight and try it out. Definitely event material though.
  8. It's cause a shit ton of angsty teenagers play it.
  9. You guys just don't get it man, you're citing untrustworthy news sources! You guys need to learn from Gentoo and cite actual news sources, like twitter threads from random accounts.
  10. For me. All of it.
  11. @BoM resign, you’re no longer needed. This guys got the answers.
  12. Big fan of The Strokes, this entire album is awesome and probably my favorite album. Definitely deserving of that Grammy and definitely a must listen through the entire thing. Julian is such a talented singer.
  13. Thanks for bringing this up, I made sure to uninstall it on my PC. It's really important to keep an eye on all the applications and software on your computer, a lot of scummy people are exploiting our privacies. On a side, I literally just had to take a midterm using proctorio (fml). If you have proctorio as an extension, make sure to get that off your computer as soon as possible as it is literally the spawn of satan and can basically access and do just about anything. Ironically it was a midterm for a security class.
  14. Current games

    My roomates and I have been enjoying Wii Sports lately, it's good fun. Excited for Switch Sports to come out.
  15. Facial Hair...

    Goatee and mustache is the move
  16. I know you like have a thing for making "haha funny edgy I think for myself" posts on the forums, but none of this is even close to true lol. I don't really care much about it at all, but I had to study stuff similar to this in my communication-related classes in college (zzz). People subconsciously change how they talk depending on what audience they're talking to (not groundbreaking news at all).. and I imagine this code-switching thing relates to that for people of certain cultures or people who are bilingual. Also, I'd probably feel bad for the parents of anyone here if they talk to them the way they talk to their friends. Anyways I honestly don't care about code-switching since I'm a white guy and only speak typical english. Not really sure what you wanted or expected to get out of this topic ZZL, but obviously it's more relevant to you. /thread
  17. I think @Infinityward knows about this whole switching towards different audiences. Curious to see what he thinks about this concept.
  18. Aint no way you unironically posted that lmao
  19. I think NATO will somehow unfortunately get involved at some point in the near future regardless. Putin doesn’t want Ukraine; he wants to bring the USSR back. He won’t stop until he has to. Eventually he will touch NATO soil and then shit is going to hit the fan. Shame European peace is coming to an end. He’s a war criminal. There are videos of Russian troops running over civilian cars and bombing kindergartens. There’s a special place in hell for Putin and one can only hope he’ll be there by the end of this conflict.
  20. Donda 2...

    It's aight. Some good songs but a lot of stuff just fell flat and boring for me. Still prefer old Ye music.
  21. Bro please break up your paragraph next time. It's easier on the eyes. You aren't the one paying the bills; the only person who gets affected from choosing to keep servers up is Caution. Literally zero downside to keeping any dead server up if someone has plans for it. What I see here is a lot of assumptions about stuff being ignored behind the scenes. You should already know how often CAs talk about so many of your brought up issues in the community. You wouldn't probably know but SMs had to constantly give reports and updates on their servers. To say this very obvious stuff is being "ignored" is probably just you leashing anger out without having any basis behind it. There's a lot more complexity behind this stuff than cutting a few servers and banning a few people. You realize all the BDs are old and have pretty busy lives right? Hell, I'm only 21 and I wouldn't be able to find time to do SM work anymore. Besides, you don't need the BDs to be active on the servers. You have a whole hierarchy of staff from admins always on the servers to the BDs overseeing large community issues. As long as dialogue between all those ranks remains open - which it probably still is - almost all issues will be noticed and brought up at some point. Also it would have been more interesting to see you leaving names in this post. Full send it. See you guys on March's state of the servers thread.
  22. What are you going to do about it? Ban them? They're playing within the rules. And yeah, everyone wants to get on and see a toxic bully match. Cunt tactics won't work here. Everyone here has the capability to make the server a better place by being fun for others to place with. Don't let some internet losers get to your head, brush them off and make the servers fun for everyone.
  23. Why do you think having some asshole banning system is going to work? This is the internet, there were assholes way before your time at SG and there will be assholes long after you're done playing at SG. Internet will always bring in more assholes. There is no "asshole deletion system", and I don't think your solution to a lack of people is getting rid of more people anyways. Trying to out bully bullies is just going to make a more toxic environment. I agree with @delirium here. You need to be the change you want to see. There have been plenty of assholes I've dealt with on my time of TTT, but every time I got on I would goof around with others and have a good time. Bringing positivity and fun into the server can often inspire most people, including assholes, into relaxing and having a good time.
