https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_genocide Oh, I guess it's actually is a thing. I just thought it was culturicide. Though you should still say the whole phrase and not just the last bit. Also it's 14 and 88. I can't remember what the 14 was for (sometimes 18 too for A.H.) but 88 represents H.H. which you can guess what that means. Anyway those bastards steel culture. They stole the swastika (ancient Hindu symbol for good luck) they almost got the iron cross (and some people still see that as a Nazi symbol. I'm not going to let them have lizard people too. I'm taking it back!

But it has room for 200,000,000 sperm: Wait, are you sure you're not pregnant? :P

Wow you're about as far away from Logan's as Stu is.

I still can't find a block option, not that I'd use it anyway because then i feel like I'd be missing out on parts of conversations. Online is just a tool, it can be as good or as bad as you make it. It's much easier when you control things though (self hosted) but that also requires much more work as well.

Anyway I'm about to game some more.

See, the problem is you can't paint all his followers as uneducated. A good chunk of them probably, but I try not to paint with such broad strokes. Discounting them all like that is dangerous IMO because the smart ones exist and know how to control the stupids. Kind of like the brain bugs from Starship Troopers. They will also try to suck your brain dry if you let them (much like those bugs.) Anyway I can't wait for him to go to club fed, even if it would just be a cushy minimum security resort at least it'd be something. I'm also really curious on how the Secret Service detail would work. in actuality he'd probably just get house arrest though. Which sucks because when I was young and got sent to my room that's where all my toys were. If you really want to punish a kid you lock all that up first. No I think they should give him house arrest but in some low income neighborhood. The problem with these entitled pricks is they've never had to deal with real life and see us all as vagrants. Though I do think he's too far gone to get any real education out of that anyway.

It's never rude, and I do it all the time. If it were something like instant messaging then that would be a different story. Anyway, assuming that you'll read this later on I hope you've slept well.

That sounds dangerously close to "white genocide" which the right uses to scare people into joining their cause. Also if you're killing off fascists it wouldn't be a genocide anyway as they aren't part of a race, they're part of an idea. This is happening from the right and the left. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Egyptian_race_controversy is just one example. Though history is often written by the victors so getting an accurate historical record is difficult at best. The problem is that then the universities are out those funds. I hate to use the R word but since you can't get a good paying job without some sort of accreditation which locks out the poor, maybe some form of regulation is needed with a cap on tuition. I remember college used to be 18K a year and even that was a bit much. People shouldn't have to work all their lives to pay off their college debt. I was with you most of the way, but who decides who is mentally stable? If someone has committed no crime should they be denied basic human rights? What about charging the "mentally unstable" with felonies and locking them up, then when they get out after they've "paid their debt to society" still denying them their rights. Keep in mind this is exactly what our government has done and continues to do to black people. I have Autism, ADHD, depression, and I manage it all okay without any medication. I don't believe myself to be a danger to myself or others. Still by some metrics I shouldn't be allowed to own the firearms that I've legally carried for ten years now. Do I think that violent people should have guns? That's a different question and my answer to that would be no. But I still don't think precrime should be a thing. I do think that intervention of some type might be a good idea, but I don't think red flag laws (as they stand) are the correct way to go about that at all. Maybe ask them to come in for an interview and then if they're found to be unstable deal with things then. Just going and trying to take someone's guns usually doesn't end well for anyone especially when Heston was saying "from my cold dead hands" for 40 someodd years. I'm sure she didn't mean it in any derogatory way. I'm sure Jim Morrison didn't mean it either when he said he was "the lizard king." Everything is about the context it is used in. As I've heard quoted: "the cruelty is the point." I'll just leave this here: On the one hand the ADL and the SPLC seem quick to point at a lot of fringe groups and claim "Nazi!" On the other hand I'm antiZionist, just not antisemitic. In many people's view this does make me one. I don't hate Jews, I just hate religion. I have many good secular Jew-ish friends and one who is orthodox that I met before he got really into it, and we even joke about the whole Jews control everything bit because it's silly. Here's the truth on the whole Jewish overlord thing too. Not all or even most Jews are in some secret cabal to control the planet. However rich people are and some Jews just happen to be rich. Since people like the rich they don't want to focus on the rich part and instead they just focus on the Jew part. There is also this deep history of antisemitism that exists too which certainly doesn't help things. The whole Holocaust thing was just one of many genocides against them. Most really just want to live their lives the way they want and be left alone, which is all any of us want anyway. The only reason people really hate them is because they view them as different and people fear anything which is different, and that is sad. But fuck the religion part of it, and while I'm at it I also I believe in a two-state solution.

I hope you don't feel like you're required to, because you absolutely aren't. There are some people that engage in some flirting that might go on but for the most part that's pretty innocent AFAICT. Anyway if you have any issues with anyone just let @TronRP know. She's pretty good about keeping the peace.

Wait, actual Church of Satan or The Satanic Temple? Big difference between the two but I'd assume you know about that. For those that don't:

Oh no, I completely get that. Sometimes I don't completely communicate my ideas either. I have to remember that not everyone has the knowledge / insight I have or knows what I mean when I'm talking about something. As one example I hate extra anything on my cheeseburger. Apparently the almost universal wait-staff shop-talk for this is "no setup" meaning nothing added, not even on the side. However it's not completely universal so I have to make sure they get what that means or I have things I hate touching part of the food I wish to eat. I'm sure there are others, but this is the most convenient and I literally did this yesterday at The Ram's Horn eating with my friend Joe. Anyway you do whatever you need to do, if you want to disappear just try to let us know first. The DM system works pretty well too if you just want to keep in touch with a few friends on here. Or better yet just get numbers and text people directly, or get them on whatever avenue of communication you prefer. I like to think of this place as low stress. I think that's how Troy tried to gear it anyway since he also had PTSD and didn't really like any fighting or drama on here. Though the problem with any community is there will always be some level of that. Also the more people there are, the more chances exist for that to happen. Still we need a social outlet and some friends as we are social creatures. Isolation brings on insanity and that's why solitary confinement is considered torture in jail/prison. I'm reminded of an old friend of mine's neighbor. She apparently was 80, had no one, and never left her house because she was deathly afraid of the world. I wouldn't wish that on most people because that's kind of a sad way to go.

Try doing the bullshit that everyone tells you to do. It is dumb and obviously not a permanent fix but it does help. Count backward slowly from 100 with your eyes closed taking deep breaths and clearing your mind (preferably not while driving.) Not sure how busy Roger is but if he can talk on the phone talking to someone can help too. Glad you made it though.

That name sounds pretty familiar. I think I saw her on Meetup.com? Small world.

It's entirely possible that they're just stories from teenagers and drunkards that hung out in that area over the years. Though years ago I knew someone who worked at Electricity that mentioned it. He could have just been blowing smoke as well though.

Maybe you should stay off it for a bit then? Sounds like you have enough to worry about already.

I like other people's pets. I see the value in some on a farm or in the wild. Suburban life just seems cruel for them though. Also if you ever need an ordained atheist minister officiant I am one. Not the best public speaker but I get the job done.

They don't do it dogystyle or reverse cowgirl because you never turn your back on family! (Also both of those are the same thing in space.) See, there is this whole nature vs nurture argument that people seem to have. I always say it's a bit of both. Our pasts shape and define us and you say it doesn't matter, and yet you have anxiety and other issues that I'm sure stem from some of that. As they say: "Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it." Still I like your diamond stance. It's a good attitude to have as we cannot change the past, only move on from it one day at a time. What do you mean you use that term for NTs? Asperger's? Don't hate on the NTs I've had this argument on another forum. They're just people too and not all of them are bad. I have a lot of friends and I even count some NTs among them. It's finding people of quality that's the hard part. On a long enough timeline everyone will let you down in some way. It's just on you whether you want to forgive those transgressions depending on the size of them. Sometimes it's just a misunderstanding and there was no ill intent meant either. Though as people on the spectrum that can be often hard to judge too. Good luck with that meeting though. At least we had you for a bit.

Like a quarter of this list is from drinking / drugs (mostly heroin.) Good for you for moving beyond that. I never got the appeal of them myself. I wish others saw things like I do, along with the damage those things do.

You're right, and I have edited my original comment to reflect that.

Well the venue is made up of a bunch of the large main room and also a bunch of little bars that can be segmented off. It's a rather impressive venue honestly. The basement may even be connected to the underground system I've heard about where all the buildings are linked together.

Maybe that's why they don't allow firearms in them. It's harder to abuse those who are armed. Also I think they're a little bit of column A and a little bit of column B. Though I guess these days you have to pay to be in prison too. If they arrest me and I don't pay then will they let me leave? Anyway I hope you are well. Have friends visit often and check on you. It's harder to abuse those with people looking out for them as well. It's the loners who need to worry most :(

I don't bother with YT Premium. I have ad blockers and video downloaders. Why am I going to give Google even more money when they already make it from spying on us?

I can totally see that. It's not really art that lasts anyway if you think about it, though there are preservation services that can do it, but of course that costs as well, but it's not like you'd be around to enjoy it at that point anyway. Sorry, brain goes on tangents a lot.
